Taxation Without Representation Boston Tea Party

Like any other great event in history, there was
much more to the Revolutionary War than is seen on
the surface. It is true that the war was fought
for intellectual freedoms, as well as political
and economical freedoms. However, the mere ideas
of free intellect and politics and economics could
not have grown into a nation-wide motive for war
without gossips, rumor mills, pamphlets, or
boycotts. The social aspect of the Revolutionary
War enabled the growth of the intellectual,
political, and eco...

his jealous nature, others feel Othello proves
that he is not prone to jealousy. I tend to favor
the notion that Othello's flaw is a jealous
passion that he cannot con...

Women belong in the kitchen, a colloquial phrase
used in many cultures to paste the role of women
right smack in their faces. What brought about
such a confining and discriminatory conception of
women s lives? It may date back to the earliest
