- 2202: Affirmative Action
- ... issue. From my own personal past experience, I had a friend that worked for a man who owned a restaurant. By no fault of her own, she could not get to work on time one day. When she called to let her boss know the situation as to why she would be a little late, the man told her not to bother coming at all. I can't help but feel ... preconceived notions about anyone who was different. But viewing a vandalized bulletin board, (when I moved to USA) filled with racist comments made the issue more of a reality for me, not just something I'd read about in textbooks and newspapers. Now looking back, I can see how I may have been subjected to sexism in a slight way, even in my own country. Affirmative action was never designed to ... highlights the potential for an atmosphere of racism in this country, which may cause for many generations on.

It has been shown how even the texts of Plato's day exceeded what he saw in them. The tales of Homer are far more than just pretty stories that express the way the world is. For Homer taught through his stories and it is that that ... Cited Aligieri, Dante. "Letter to Can Grande della Scalla." The Critical Tradition: Classical texts and Contemporary Trends. Ed.

Other than these few differences the Thor you read in Marvel comic books is the same one as in the legends. He still protects the people of midguard (earth) and waits for the day of Rangorak (Doom's day) where Thor will battle Jormungandr (the snake circling midguard) and the two will kill each other and destroy the world in the process. While today's version of Thor barely resembles his Greek counterparts, ...
- 2205: Brief Shao Lin Monk History
- A Short History of Shao Lin Monks and their Martial Arts The original Shao Lin temple was built in 495 A.D. by the ruling Bei Wei emperor for an Indian monk who came to China to preach Buddhism. The name Shao Lin derived from the fact that its original temple was located within a small forest ... Shao came from the name of the mountain and Lin comes from the Chinese character that stands for forest. The origin of Shao Lin being its own sect of Buddhism dates back to 540 A.D. when and Indian Buddhist named Bodhidharma, Tamo in Chinese, traveled to China to see the ruling Bei Wei Emperor. At that time, the Emperor had started local Buddhist monks translating Buddhist texts from Sanskrit to ... lost to history. When Tamo joined the monks, he observed that they were not in good physical condition. Most of their routine paralleled that of Irish monks of the middle ages, who spent hours each day hunched over tables where they transcribed handwritten texts. Consequently, the monks in Shao Lin lacked the physical and mental stamina needed to perform even the most basic of Buddhist meditation practices. Tamo then incorporated ...
- 2206: Watergate Scandal
- ... watchman, was making his normal checks when he noticed a door to the stairwell was taped. He figured that it was just some movers who used that door to go back and forth earlier that day, so he peeled the tape away and continued his work. He came back to that door about 2:00 a.m. that same shift and noticed that there had been a second taping. Once he found the second one he decided to phone the Washington D.C. police. An undercover officer named Sergeant Paul Leeper and officers John Barret and Carl Shoffler intercepted the call while on patrol. Flashlights were noticed by a former F.B.I. agent. The F.B ... worked as a writer. On June 20 the two reporters linked Hunt as an adviser to the Watergate burglary. With that lead the reporters found out about the payoffs and the cover-up.

Marriage in Chaucer's time meant ... of jealousy, and at the same time he would obey any command she gave him (Lines 745-750): Of his free wil he swoor hire as a knight That nevere in al his lif he day ne night Ne sholde upon hime take no maistrye Again hir wil, ne kithe hire jalousye, But hire obeye and folwe hir wil in al, As any lovere to his lady shal-- Arveragus' and Dorigen ...

- ... s grandfather's letters as a guide. The author wrote the book in an attempt to better educate herself about her Chinese heritage, and about a nation that seemed foreign to her, a place "you'd find yourself if you dug a hold deep enough to come out the other side of the Earth." The idea conveyed by means of the story is how Chinese culture places the importance of family ... ying and her husband Chan Sam lived together, she probably would have kept her behavior in check and not have had to become a prostitute. Also, time-wise, had the story occurred in the present day, nearly all of it wouldn't have happened. For example, the practice of hindering the growth of Chinese girls' feet with rope to keep them tiny would be looked upon as barbaric nowadays. The setting serves the purpose of allowing the reader to suspend their disbelief. It is hard for anyone living in the present day to believe that such things actually occurred, but if they show the reader that these events didn't happen in 1996, than they can make adjustments. My main dislike with the book was the ...

The brief act of copulation occurs continually for a five day period. Tigers are induced ovulators, and must be stimulated through frequent copulation in order to become pregnant.
