- 2954: Biological Determinism
- ... of skulls easily biased results, without a scientist necessarily realising his own subjectivity. The theory of biological determinism appeared primarily to legitimate forms of social inadequacy and control. Such ideas were the product of industrial revolution, as well as cultural and ideological. Some ideologies of biological determinism assert that sophisticated behaviour is not taught, but develops automatically. There is a difference between mankind and animal's behaviour. For example, child learns ... humans ask the question of their "human" nature. They have attempted to find themselves in relation to the animal kingdom.

- 2955: Response To Civil Disobedience
- ... the time. Thoreau explains that "people must cease to hold slaves, and to make war on Mexico" (225). The constant references to multiple examples make Thoreau's essay a strong advocate of reform in the American government. I think that if he did not use such examples, his call for reform in the government would not be as strong. In addition, Thoreau uses multiple similes to convey his point. He describes the American government as "a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man ... is sort of a wooden gun to the people themselves; and, if ever they should use it in earnest as a real one against each other, it will surely split" (222). When he describes the American government in comparison to a wooden gun, it gives the reader a clear description of how people should learn to think for themselves and speak out against any absurdities of the government. Throughout the ...

For example, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION simply makes up for past losses. The diversity of problems and necessary reimbursements are too much for an American society to try to take on at a time that the deficit is at an all time high. One more addition to the fire is just too much. Since the passage of 1994 additions to the Civil Liberties Act, all that the American society has been concerned with is the discrimination.

- 2957: The Scarlet Letter: Symbolism
- ... piece of work. It is often used to represent a moral or religious belief or value. Without symbolism literature is just a bunch of meaningless words on paper. The most symbolic piece of work in American Literature is Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Hawthorne's use of symbolism in The Scarlet Letter is one of the most significant contributions to the rise of American Literature. Much of Hawthorne's symbolism is very hard to find but several symbols are also obvious. In the first chapter Hawthorne describes the prison as "the black flower of civilized society".

Colonies in these areas ... of North America, the St. Lawrence basin in Canada, territories in the Carribean, stations in Africa for the acquisition of slaves, and important interests in India.

The research article is about eighteen pages in length while the Times article is only about five. Furthermore the ... overall sample results. It does, however, provide a more intimate appeal to the average reader. The tone of the articles is, in fact, in direct relation to the audience to which each is directed.
