... farming or fighting. This idea is taken from the statement, “For he (God) made mans body and mind more capable of enduring cold and heat, and journeys and campaigns; and therefore imposed on him the outdoor task”(page 69). “…knowing that he who deals with the outdoor tasks will have to be their defender against any wrong-doer, he meted out to him again a larger share of courage”(page 69). The wife is saying with this remark that Greek men are naturally braver that the women are. In Greek society, according to this work, It is mans place, given to him by God, to be courageous, correct, attend the outside work, and be the master of woman. The second work shows a ver ...

... was a big rivalry between France and Great Britain there as well. There were also British and French clashes at Fort Duquesne, one of the prominent Ohio River valley forts. Whoever had control over fort Duquesne had a quite a strong hold over the Ohio River Valley. The British had many strategic advantages over the French and Indians. They had a strong militia in their colonies that could fight at any given time. They also had many more people, about one million. They also had a very strong navy and control of the Atlantic Ocean. Having control over the Atlantic Ocean meant destroying French supply ships that tried to enter North America. The British colonies ...

... there in Jerusalem for the next 32 years. Secure on his throne and dwelling in a magnificent palace of cedar and stone, David began to be concerned that he, the visible king, dwelled in a magnificent house, but the invisible King of kings still dwelt in an aging temporary tent, the Tabernacle of Moses. At first the prophet Nathan gave David approval to construct a temple, but the following night God intervened. Speaking to Nathan in a dream God laid out for David an amazing covenant whose promises continue to this present day. God committed himself to establishing the house of David forever, to a specific land and people ,Israel, and to a temple. David, a man ...

... it. The Spaniards began to slowly annihilate the Indies with many sorts of torturous tactics. During this horrific process they also chose to enslave substantial amounts of natives. One could argue that the Spaniards viewed the Indians as an inferior race that was placed on earth to serve the superior race: the Europeans. This can be argued effectively because the Christians had no regard whatsoever for the Native's humanity. The Spaniards literally treated dogs with more dignity than they did with the Indians. The "Defender and Apostle to the Indians" (xiii), Bartolome , did not represent the same views as the Spaniards. "Las Casas's entire life was dedicated to d ...

... listening to a man named Lueger, who was at that time the mayor of Vienna. Lueger was a Nazi, with strong anti-Semitic views, which seemed to be a logical answer for Hitler and his problems. It was around this time that Hitler was drafted by the army. Instead of going to fight for his country, he chose to flee to Germany. Which is a bewildering thought seeing as how he voluntarily joined the German army when he got there. After the war, Hitler joined up with a right wing campaign whose job was to spy on other government groups. Upon spying on one of the parties, the N.S.D.A.P. or Nazi party, he found that he had a lot in common with their views. He decided th ...

... one of Clay's hometown newspapers, used reports from the Associated Press. The only articles that were not written by a member of the Associated Press were the very rare editorials written about the fight. The use of reports from the AP and the UPI shows that most newspapers did not think the fight was very newsworthy. Only one newspaper published an article that was not written by a member of the Associated Press or the United Press International, however that one article was an editorial about Cassius Clay's new found wealth and not the actual fight. The lack of coverage also proves that even though blacks were supposed to be equal to ...

... said that chariots were allowed on the streets only after sunset. The streets were also very crowded. So even when the chariots weren’t there, the people were. Another very chaotic place was the Argiletum. This is the most known shopping center in the empire. Most Romans didn’t own land. "The average Roman had little privacy and still less money." Most Romans who lived in the city were craftsmen, shopkeepers, or general laborers. "Trade was always conducted on a small scale." This was because each merchant was responsible for himself. The large trading place was between the Forum and the Tiber. The tradesmen and the bankers worked together. The artis ...

... of young army officers tried to overturn the Czardom. This was called the Decembrist Revolt. The next czar, Nicholas, was a die hard authoritarian. The Administrative system continued to decay regardless of his iron fisted rule. The gap between the rich and the poorer continued to widen. Over five hundred peasant revolts took place during his reign. Alexander II, who took the throne in 1855 tried to avert revolt by attempting reform. In 1861 he freed the serfs and gave them expectations of free land allotments. But to their surprise, and anger, they were only given the opportunity to share it as members of a village commune(mir). In addition, the m ...

... the water. The painting seems busy, yet not overpoweringly so. There is much for the eye, while allowing room for personal interpretation. Visually appealing, “Green Reflections” is a classic example of Monet’s personal style, being both scientific and painterly. This particular painting has captivated many admirers with its pretty pastel colours, prevalent in many of Monet’s works. The yellows and pinks of the lilies are in strong contrast to the deep blues and jungle greens of the water. Monet brought the study of the transient effects of natural light to its most refined expression, through the “Waterlilies” series. Therefore tone is an important aspect of ...

... state of mind. For instance Augustine’s beliefs on religion were quite exploratory. To absolve himself from his lust of the fine flesh he abandoned Catholicism for Manicheism, which had the aspects of “a little Christian symbolism, a large dose of Zoroastrian dualism, and some of the quiet refinements of Buddhism. (49)”. Although this would not satisfy his intellectual hunger and he would move onto studying the works of Plato and Socrates. In the end though he would come across the letters of a Jew named Paul who would show him the light of the Christian god. Thus, he would purify his soul, absolve his past sins, and “ submit himself to the death of the flesh ...
