The purpose of these crusades was to overtake and gain control of the Holy Land from the Muslims. The Holy Land was Jerusalem and the Christians believed that gaining control of it was their fate. The pope would gather the people together and incite them. The origin of the crusades was a result of the expanding Turks in the middle east. These Turkish forces invaded ... and each group would be self- directing. All the groups planned their own ways to the Constantinople, where they would meet and regroup. They would attack the Turkish forces in Constantinople and hope to regain control of the city.

Tools allow us ... chips have made possible compact, low-cost microcomputer or personal computers - computers that can serve as personal mind tools for individuals. Moreover, computer chips can be incorporated in other machines that can benefit from computer control, such as washing machines, microwave ovens, television sets, cameras, and automobiles. Entirely new machines, such as pocket calculators and video games, become possible. A computer stores and manipulates data under the control of a set of step-by-step instructions called a program.

- 614: Religions
- ... in both Mecca and Medina (Ahmad, et. al., 572). People from all around the region would come to those cities to trade, and were attracted by the religion. As Islam developed and spread rapidly, its control quickly began to encroach on Byzantine territory where it found diverse groups of people, who resented the foreign control of the flailing western power. The people viewed the Middle Eastern Islamic conquerors as liberators from the oppressive Byzantine Empire, and welcomed both Islamic soldiers and religion. In addition to other non- violent means of ... in the name of Allah, as Christians often did. The Muslims were tolerant of both foreign religions, peoples, and traders. They welcomed Far Eastern merchants into their territory. In India, while they did militarily gain control of the South Asian subcontinent, they never forced conversion, nor did they enter the territory with a religious intent. Indeed, the reason that the Hindu and Muslim clashes arose was based on religious differences, ...
- 615: 1984 Orwell
- ... who commits an independent act, such as having an affair, and thinking against the normal ways. This government is so powerful that it not only controls the present and everything people do, but they also control the past. Anything that does not comply with what the government wants they just erase from the past. The Party keeps watch over everyone. Each house has at least one telescreen mounted on the wall ... they would rebel. This is also why the government's motto is ignorance is strength. As long as the people do not realize what is going on, then the government will continue to have complete control over them. The head figure of this all-powerful government is Big Brother, which Winston is unsure of his existence. When he asks O'Brian if Big Brother really exists, the response was "You don ... existing are destroyed, in other words vaporized. This leads to another sign Orwell warns his readers about, and that is controlling the past. Consequently this is Winston's job. The Ministry of Truth has complete control of the past. They erase any record of history that would be dangerous toward their complete control over the people. Revisionism is another term used meaning changing of the past. Winston after having a ...
- 616: How Adolf Hitler Got To The To
- ... men have done to them. They also share the mentality that they are the only ones to blame for rape and sexual abuse committed against them. Both Jordanian and North American men alike seek to control women. The Arabic expression "a man's honour lies between the legs of a women" sets the stage for Jordanian men and their quest for power and dominance over women. In Jordan, men are expected to control their female relatives. If a woman strays from her man, it is commonly believed that the only way his dignity can be restored is by killing her. Jordanian men are also quite often exempt from punishment after committing an "honour killing". This results in the mentality that they have control over the lives of the women they are related to, and have the power to treat them however they wish. In North America, men constantly abuse and disrespect women. It has been proven countless ...
- 617: Charles Manson
- ... of the most sinister and evil criminals of all time. He organized the murders that shocked the world and his name still strikes fear into American hearts.

Manson was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on November 11, 1934. His mother, Kathleen ... thing he did was to deprogram both their ego and their "hang ups," about conventional society. By "hang ups," he meant anything he did not like. Richard DeMargeno, a criminologist, believed Manson was able to control these people by replacing their father figures. "It wasn't a very difficult process. He was dealing with lonely insecure people in need of a father figure, people who didn't have much ego to begin with. What he did, in effect, was to tear down that ego and substitute himself, thus gaining enormous control over his followers." 2 To his girls, Charles Manson was a "beautiful man who loved us all totally." Later, a group of young women outside of Manson's murder trial replied, "We're waiting ...
- 618: Leprosy 2
- ... years, the use of modern molecular and immunological tools has become a valuable method in revealing what is known to date about the disease. However, until the epidemiology of the disease is completely understood, effective control and prevention of leprosy can be difficult. Classification of Leprosy Leprosy is classified according to symptoms and histopathology (abnormalities of tissue cells affected by the disease). Patients with leprosy are classified into two general groups ... the "leonine faces" associated with the disease. Mechanism of Infection As mentioned previously, leprosy infects the skin, mucous membrane, and peripheral nerves. Perhaps the most severe consequence of the disease is the loss of neural control that patients often experience in the later stages of the disease. Because of the severity of this infection, only the mechanisms of neural infection will be discussed. It is interesting to note that leprosy does ... in the world?

- 619: Lord Of The Flies Themes
- ... p. 29 and how the younger children spent most of their days playing on the beach. But this is because they were only children and therefore acted like children. Another theme was the struggle for control of the island but this would happen with any group of people (ie: one person wants to be in control and do anything to get it). At the start Jack was embarrased when he was not made chief, and probably resented the fact that Ralph, who was smaller than him, had control of the group but Jack still had a small part of authority over the choir and most of the children that were smaller than him. This was not enough for him though because as ...
