Moral Decline
.... Other people may think that moral decline is stimulated by immoral leaders. This is partially true. Leaders like Bill Clinton need to be moral to set a good example. But American citizens need to ask themselves: “Who elected him to office, twice?” The answer: a society of generally immoral people.

We are caught in a hypnotic downward sp .....

.... things they see in everyday life. In the United States, sad but true, most whites are racist whether one likes to say it or not. Even though the people living in a particular neighborhood may not have a preference as to who lives near them or around them, the real estate agent already assumes that it is for the best of the neighborhood not to integrate on a large scale. This general statement is clarified in the following example taken out of the article.

Intergrating Technology And Le
.... In today’s society, the same principles apply. Mentors teach and guide others. They inspire and convey a sense of vision to the people around them. Proverbs 29:18 reads that where there is no vision, the people perish. Effective leaders do not allow this to happen. They keep the team energized until the vision is no longer a dream, but a reality. Leaders walk the talk; and this creates the trust and respect necessary to achieve the team’s purpose. Leaders are mentors.
Those w .....

Medieval Weapons
.... things. Small-scale missile weapons include other spears, bows and arrows, throwing axes, and crossbows.

The earliest melee weapons were clubs. Existing f .....

2. Being such a good source of reaching people, the internet can change the way society works. It is an entire new way of communication. A small phone wire or data cable from a network can transmit data that is then interpreted by us, the user, as communication, interaction. By using the internet we are not only looking up information, we are also communicating to the world via electronic impulses.

Scenario: A crude oil tanker crashes into a port off the coast of Africa. The oil spills into the water, killing millions of animals, land and sea alike. These sea animals are vital to the ecology of the world, but nothing can be done to save them now. If it just so happens that ABC reporters are the first and only ones to find out about this catastrophe, nobody will ever know it hap .....

We have our mail delivered to this place, and everything else we order. People know us sometimes by where we live or where our home is. For example, if a person was to have a large, extravagant home in a very nice neighborhood and we knew nothing else, except their house, we would probable assume these people had a lot of money. We make our homes like ourselves, they are very differe .....

Mythology

How did humanity originate? Why is there evil in the world? What happens to people after they die? Myths also try to account for a society’s customs and rituals. Myths are used to justify the way a society lives.
Ruling families in several ancient civilizations found justification for their power in myths that .....

Interpretation 2
.... in Don Quixote. The same is in George Orwell’s 1984. People are banned from reading books, owning books or even writing anything. It is because the government is afraid what kind of thoughts people may have after they read. It is possible to govern the body but not the mind. Thus if no material is given to the mind to process, there may be no evil thoughts that arise. Even Don Quixote, by the prodding of his neighbors and niece, begins to believe that the books’ influence on him was unaccepta .....
