Welcome to "the rest or your life. " These words
are commonly heard everyday by couples who are
engaged to be married. Encouraging words are
passed around also, but we all know that few
marriages last forever. Marriages should be based
on total trust and "togetherness, " and without

and joys versus the pain and sadness. A formal
definition gives us the scient...

were found in North Central China. In those years,

Gods And Goddesses Second Hand

Upon investigating the supernatural reality that
the Celts endured, it is necessary to somewhat
overlook the myths to see what lies behind them.
It is essential to find when and from where the
myths originated and how true the storytellers, or
narrators, really are. The Celtic gods and
goddesses, in such an early mythological time
defined as a period when beings lived or events
happened such as one no longer sees in our days
(Sjoestedt 1994: 2), require much analysis. A

Solve Problems Human Intelligence

Introduction There are many myths regarding
seniors and their intelligence. Supposedly, the
old can't do their work as well as the young, and
neither can they learn new things (Kart &
Kinney, 2001). There are many facts that point to
the idea of gerontophobia; "a fear of and negative
attitude toward the aged" (Kart & Kinney,
2001). There are general disapproval of the old
and job discrimination as a result ("Social",

Freud was trying to be a conformist and avoid
opprobrium. In my view Sulloway does not succeed.

Anthropology of Religion In the nineteenth
century, the anthropologists viewed religion as an
archaic mode of thought and action standing behind
the modern programs of science, law, politics, and
education that would one day drop away. No
anthropologists can say that with certainty today,

religion reaches into virtually every corner of
human activity. Fundamentally in anthropology the
focus of the analysis is generally ethnographic.

Collective Memory Collective memory has become a
topic of rather heated debates recently, both in
political and sociological fields, and there are a
couple of solid reasons for that. Certainly, there
are a lot of horrifying and hideous acts that some
countries and individual leaders have committed,
and there are a lot of reasons why the present
generation wants those acts forgotten by everyone.
Although the individual members that can
potentially remember those acts might be already

Questioning the Authority of Myth in The Histories
History can be defined as the systematic study of
and writing about the past (Cartledge, Paul, The
Greeks: A Portrait of Self and Others, Oxford
University Press, Oxford, 1993). Does this mean
anything that happened, or that was believed to
have happened, in the past can be recorded as
history? Or, does one need proof? In Herodotus The
Histories, the narrative is arranged in a dramatic
form. Modern historians also arrange their
narrative in dram...
