Adam And Eve Atomic Bomb

Man has always been characterized as a curious
creature, desiring to learn and expand his
knowledge base. In the past men have defied
everything in nature and in their souls to just
find the answer to their most vexing questions.
Ecclesiastes correctly proclaims that the wisdom
and knowledge man lusts after leads to sadness and
mourning. Knowledge has been repeatedly abused and
has caused a countless amount of deaths and a
plethora of reasons to lament. Throughout history
and literature, wisdom ...

Anti Gun Control Congress Passed

"I say all guns are good guns. There are no bad
guns. I say the whole nation should be an armed
nation. Period. This rather bold statement was
made by Joseph Foss, former Governor, and current
President of the NRA, or National Rifle
Association (Lacayo 16). I could not disagree

Trench Warfare War Effort

Gallipoli truly demonstrated the view points of
Australians and the effects the war had on them. A
deceiving perception of the war was emphasized,
forgetting the warnings and traumas which were so
evident by the end of the movie. Innocence was
lost before young boys even had a chance to really
live their lives. Misleading propaganda and
nationalism encouraged the war effort. Much could
have been prevented, yet the naivete of the elders
and youth alike kept the inexperienced going on
for more. Mi...

a combination of excited anticipation, curiosity
and patriotism. The majority of people were swayed
by the initial euphoria and the country settled
into a state of patriotic unity. Initially,
Britain was sure that the war would be over by
Christmas. They had only ever before seen small
outbreaks of conflict like the Russo-Japanese War,
which was quiet insignificant when compared to the
results of the Great War to come. Whether it was
