In the relatively short span of the history of the United States there can be no more compelling single event than that time when Americans fought Americans, brothers fought brothers. That four year span when we fought against ourselves, we struggled to find our economic, cultural and moral values. The greed of the southern states caused them to fight for their way of life, that way of life rely

The Notorious Market Society By: A.I. The majority of the population in our society take for granted the standard of living we are blessed with.

THE OCTET RULE The Northwestern University's Holmgren Laboratory defines the octet rule as "Atoms will lose, gain or share electrons to achieve the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas." With the single exception of helium, which has only two electrons, the number is eight (an octet). Where it can exist, an octet of electrons imparts great stability and lower reactivity. There are inst

In this passage we see a lot of conflict between Odysseus and Achilles, the heroes muse on the differences between the two worlds they now inhabit, and each finds the grass greener on the other side. “… you lord it over the dead in all your power.” (256-552). In that quote Odysseus is telling Achilles how he is having a good time ruling over all the dead. Also how his world is better than him. “

“By a hero, we tend to cling to a heighted man…the sort who risks his life to protect his society’s values, sacrificing his own personal needs for those of the community” This is a quote from, The Adventurer: the Fate of Adventure in the Western World, which opinionatedly defines heroic attributes. Apart from being unnecessarily specific on gender, I agree with this definition of a hero. Though ev

The pros of bilingual education The role of schools, regardless of who is attending, is to teach. This requires students to know more than just English.

The cold cutting wind sliced through my cheeks in the eerie ominous night of 1917. An unforgetful sight! Weighed down by the immense load of our packs, we trudged silently through the thick sludge. A cough here, a wheeze there, it was all we could muster after what seemed like an aftermath of a laborious mission. Comrades marched with dopey eyes, numb legs, bootless and blood-shod. Bravo headqu

In “The Open Boat” the characters go through a long mentally and physically draining adventure. I cannot even fathom what being lost at sea must be like.

As you may imagine, the Earth did not just pop out of nowhere and suddenly life appeared on it; there were several processes that had to happen before we got the world we live in. First of all, the Big Bang, where atoms, stars and galaxies were formed as a result of this. Then, elements like carbon, hydrogen and oxygen were formed and were forced together by the force of gravity, and thus, the Ear
