temple has a ratio of length to width of nearly
three to one. As time passed, Greek architects
felt these proportions were too elongated. They
progressively reduced the temples length relative
to its width, until by the mid- 5 th century the
ratio was slightly more than two to one. The

Why do people pursue an education? Many people
would answer this question by stating they pursue
an education to attain personal growth, to obtain
a career of their choosing, and to earn an income
that will meet their needs. The aspirations,
dedication, and effort made toward receiving an
education are the same for men and women. So why

men? I believe it is because de facto
discrimination has not been discouraged by

Marx Theory Of Money

The Theory of Money and the Theory of Value The
most important point to emerge from Marx's theory

goods in process and of fixed capital which has
not yet been depreciated, as well as the value of
inventories of fini...
