(Weintraub, 229) When Dorian inevitably discovers the secret of the picture he considers praying for forgiveness of his sins ... swirls in the air. A place where "there were opium dens where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new."

- 882: Christianity and Change
- Christianity and Change The Holy Year 2000 is approaching rather quickly. For Christians all over the world this is a very significant time. It is a time for Christians to celebrate their relationship with God, but it seems that over the last millennium many Christians have turned away from God in different ways. The new technologies and modern day life have left many spiritually unsettled with no relationship with God. The problems with faith become a significant issue especially among the youth of today. Christian churches are beginning to prepare ... having a negative influence. The negative influence would come from the fact that people might come back to the church only because they fear that the year 2000 will bring about the ending of the world. There was a time when Christians naturally turned to God when they had problems. Today that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Traditions have drastically changed. It almost seems as if religion ...
- 883: Hackers: Information Warefare

However, on the net the behavior is far more pronounced since it effects a much greater response from the limited online environments than it would in the real world.

This term is so overused and under analysed that these pseud-master, have managed to use it as a veil, as a euphemism to downplay the historical change, brought about by the fall of the eastern block and the subsequent degeneration of the Asian "peoples' republics". The "expanding world market"or the "world market",on its own, has always existed and expanded to new markets, so the above terms , when applied to the monopolization of the world market by the imperialist nations (see ...
- 885: The Maori of New Zealand
- The Maori of New Zealand The Maori people, the natives of New Zealand, have played a strong part in the development and success of the small island nation. Their ferocity and determination won the respect of the colonizing English, and to this day they are esteemed members of the society. They hold positions in their government and are in control of their own destinies. Their greetings and posture when having their picture taken for the outside world is a part of culture that I would like to discuss. Years ago, back in the days of rampant imperialism, the English navy found the part of the world that today is referred to ...

For most people, the sight of his bulging biceps wielding ridiculously large arsenal of weapons is not an uncommon phenomenon. The strange, thick accent that escapes his lips does not seem ludicrous anymore. Labeled as king of mayhem and mass destruction, he proclaims to the world he has a sense of humor. He backs up his word with an image-shattering vehicle that automatically thrusts him to the top of the comedy A-list. Arnold Schwarzenegger is, arguably, the number one American Icon and movie box office draw not only in America, but in the entire world; although he represents different concepts to different people, the result is usually the same, staggering box office receipts. The violence of his films speak a universal language, ensuring that international markets are ripe prospects. ...
