- 781: The Information Super Highway
- The Information Super Highway A small boy climbs onto his chair and starts his computer as if it were his gateway to a New World.

The boy quickly turns around but he is alone. Engrossed in this picture with no one to scold him, he finds a new area of the Internet.

- 782: The History Of Greek Theater
- ... to others. As the Greeks grew toward city-states and colonization, it became the destiny and ambition of the hero to gain honor by serving his city. The second major characteristic of the early Greek world was the supernatural. The two worlds were not separate, as the gods lived in the same world as the men, and they interfered in the mens lives as they chose to. It was the gods who sent suffering and evil to men.

A second actor was added by Aeschylus and a third actor was added by ...

The year is now 1831, and we see a young man (age 22) that is soon to depart on a vessel known as the Beagle set to travel around the world.

- 784: Book Review: Changing Concepts of Race in Britain and the United States between the World Wars.
- Book Review: Changing Concepts of Race in Britain and the United States between the World Wars. Scientific racism claims that biological inheritance determines the character and behavior of social groups we identify as races. Despite its history of oppression and genocide, the scientific defense of racial inequality demonstrates a disturbing ... shows that both racists and antiracists often expressed a more virulent prejudice in private than in public. Ballen avoids a crude internalist/externalist dichotomy, and develops a more subtle approach which recognizes the place of new ideas within science, as well as the background of the scientists. Nonetheless, it was an external event, the emergence of Nazi Germany, which mobilized a politically active minority to challenge the intellectual foundations of scientific ... in Britain and in the United States, for the case against racism developed quite differently in the two scientific communities. On both sides of the Atlantic, physical anthropology and racial taxonomy lost ground to the new social and cultural anthropology. This shift away from biological determinism was significant, but Ballen too readily equates environmentalism and cultural relativism with a defense of racial equality. (p. 34) In the British case, as ...

- 786: Ride Of The Second Horseman
- Robert OConnell explains to us the decline of organized warfare between people. This is stated in three different regions of argument; the nomads having to change to cope with the new geographic changes find it easier to just try to take the agriculturalists food sources rather then find their own. Second the new divisions of government cause a more humanistic approach to settle disagreements rather then warfare, and thirdly the total demise of how warfare once was. The shift to domesticated farming, away from nomadic pastorals, led to ... fight for food. The agriculturalist have superior strength in numbers and after a few attacks from the nomads the will be ready to take them out for good and worry about them no more. This new age of society is just too profitable for them to leave it, crops that a few men farm yielding the food for twenty. The economics itself are just to great to turn back now. ...
- 787: The Population Problem
- The Population Problem Two hundred years ago, Thomas Malthus, in An Essay on the Principle of Population, reached the conclusion that the number of people in the world will increase exponentially, while the ability to feed these people will only increase arithmetically (21). Current evidence shows that this theory may not be far from the truth. For example, between 1950 and 1984, the ... 1984 to 1993, grain production had grown at barely 1 percent per year, a decrease in grain production per person of 12 percent (Brown 31). Also strengthening to Malthus' argument is the theory that the world population will increase to over 10 billion by 2050, two times what it was in 1990 (Bongaarts 36). Demographers predict that 2.8 billion people were added to the world population between 1950 and 1990, an average of 70,000 a year. Between 1990 and 2030, it is estimated that another 3.6 billion will be added, an average of 90,000 a year ( ...

The year 1928 marked a new beginning for Eliot. He resigned from his job at the bank and joined Faber and Faber Publishing. Also, in 1928 Eliot joined the English Church. Eliot began to devote allot of energy to the church ... of them. Eliot went as far as to avoiding any places she might possibly be, and to end contact with mutual friends, for fear of running into Vivian (Headings, 139). By 1939 Eliot began a new chapter of his life. His religious convictions were starting to dominate his life. He no longer felt it appropriate to be editor of The Criterion. He did not want to pass on his position to another, so publication ended. Eliot was now free to devote all of his time to the Church, and to his writings. His first publication of his new life was "The Family Reunion". This poem dealt largely with his religious side, and showed a new Eliot to all of the world. Some believed that the end of The Criterion ended Eliots ...
- 789: The Industrial Revolution
- The Industrial Revolution In the last part of the 18th century, a new revolution gripped the world that we were not ready for. This revolution was not a political one, but it would lead to many implications later in its existence. Neither was this a social or cultural revolution. This revolution was an economic one. The Industrial revolution, as historians call it, began the modern world. It began the world we live in today and our way of life in that world.

In my opinion the most important factor in governing the history of the people of earth are the conflicts between peoples and countries. These conflicts being what causes the ... countries, as well as their culture. To prove this, one only has to look at the Space Race, between Russia and the US, and the impact it has created on the US specifically and the world in general. In the beginning of the Space Race, The countries of the world were still disheveled because of World War II, which is too long a story to describe, Communism was a threat ...
