- ... is the case with Drosophila nigrospiracula(the Sanoran desert fruit fly). Michal Polak et al.(1995) conducted a study examining the effects of Macrocheles subbadius (a Ectoparasitic mite) on the sexual selection of the fruit flies. The mites feed off of animal dung and rotting plant tissue (Polak et al., 1995) and relies on the fruit flies for transportation between feeding sites as well as a food source. Polak et al. found that male flies infested with the mites had less of a chance of mating compared to males that had never been infested. But Polak et al.(1995) also found that once the mites were removed from the ...

- 433: Sexism-Patriarchy
- ... being then we at least look like him and women were only created to bear our children. Also when God created Adam and Eve he took a rib from Adam to make Eve. "Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; he breathed lifegiving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live." "Then the Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and grow it. Then the Lord God said,"It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him.

- 434: Catch-22
- ... anything in your cheeks? This conversation is so ambiguous and had such little meaning that the answer to “why?” is never explained to Yossarian. For no reason, Yossarian and Orr convince Appleby that he has flies in his eyes. Appleby becomes extremely worried and asks Havermeyer if he truly has flies in his eyes. Havermeyer confirms that he does not. A few minutes later, Appleby says to Havermeyer, “You’ve got peanut brittle crumbs on your face.” Havermeyer quickly responds by saying, “I’d rather have peanut brittle crumbs on my face than flies in my eyes.” Havermeyer contradicts himself because he first says that Applyby has nothing in his eyes and then moments later abruptly says that he has flies in his eyes. Another example of when ...
- 435: Premarital Sex
- ... feel guilt when you loose your virginity before marriage because God did not intend for that to happen to you. 1Corinthians 6:13 says, "The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body".

Marriage is the only place that God set as the right place for sex. If sex ...
- 436: Personality Traits of Romeo
- ... Rosaline, she does not respond. As a result he forces himself to live in an artificial night. He also keeps to himself by avoiding every person who tries to talk to him. When Bevolio and Lord Montague learn of this, they try and figure out why Romeo is in the state that he is. Lord Montague says, “...And private in his chamber pens himself,/ Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out,/ And makes himself an artificial night” (Act One, scene two, lines 137 to 139). Romeo gets over Rosaline when he sees Juliet at the ball at Lord Capulet’s house. Obviously, Romeo’s inability to find true love forces him to become lovesick. Another personality trait that Romeo demonstrates in the play is being impulsive. One of the parts where this ...
- 437: The Book Of Matthew
- ... The Gospel of Matthew is the perfect link between the Old and New Testaments. Matthew wrote especially to the Jews to prove that Christ is their promised Messiah and the eternal King of kings and Lord of lords. Therefore, Matthew is careful not to alienate his Jewish readers. Matthew also shows how Jesus fulfilled prophecy and how He is the Person who will bring in God's kingdom. Because the "Kingdom ... discover that He is the answer to all of our physical needs. We need only to look to Him. This is followed by a section on miracles. These are illustrations of the benefits that our Lord can bestow on the level of the physical life if we accept him. Matthew assembled several of Jesus' miracles and recorded them as proof that Jesus is the promised Messiah. There are five main points ... to Christ, so when He returns it will also be a time of commendation. Finally we arrive at the last section. It is here that we are told of the betrayal, the trial of the Lord Jesus, the agony, the crucifixion, and the miraculous resurrection. We are told of how God offered opportunity to all those suffering adversity. When, for example, Peter was given the opportunity to repent, he wept. ...
- 438: The Lust For Power: How Politics and Personal Relations Become One
- ... ways. The success that swept over the Israelites was short-lived, however, and for the next two hundred years the people of Israel struggled against neighboring tribes. The new generation of Israelites “knew neither the Lord nor what he did for Israel” (Judges 2:10).

To save His people from their enemies and from their “evil ways,” God “raised up” judges to rescue them (Judges 2:16). These so-called ... increasingly associated with personal relationships. In the period of the monarchs, the separation between politics and personal matters was no longer delineated as it was before, and politics and personal relations became interrelated. "Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived" (Judges 2:18). God sent judges to ...
- 439: How Literature was Affected in the Victorian Age
- ... of reading among all classes(Stuart 5). The lower-class became more self-conscious, the middle class more powerful and the rich became more vulnerable(6). The novels of Charles Dickens, the poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Robert Browning, the dramatic plays of Oscar Wilde, the scientific discoveries of the Darwins, and the religious revolt of Newman all helped to enhance learning and literacy in the Victorian society. Of all ... Queen Victoria encouraged reading among all of her people. She gave out free books to children and she built schools for the lower classes. Also the Queen invited prominent Victorian age writers such as Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Charles Dickens to read privately to her in Buckingham Palace(Packard 59). The Victorian Age was also an era of several unsettling social developments. This forced writers to take positions on immediate issues ... Victorian period could not help but reflect the social and intellectual controversies of the era(Richardson 9).

- 440: Ophelia: The Tragedy Of Love
- ... educate' her about love, in lines 10-44, but his advice falls on deaf ears because Ophelia does not truly 'understand' until she becomes mad. Starting in act 4, scene 5, line 42, Ophelia states: "Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be" (4.5.42ff). It seems clear that Ophelia, in her madness, knows what others "may be." She has become enlightened in her insanity ... of act one, Polonius forces Ophelia to confess the nature of her relationship with Hamlet. Lines 98-101 particularly shows this: POL: What is between you? Give me up the truth. OPH: He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders of his affection to me. POL: Affection? Pooh! You speak like a green girl. (1.3.98-101) With these few lines Polonius attempts to dismantle Ophelia's feeling for ... of spying but also forces her to lie to Hamlet. In the final line of Hamlet's "Get thee to a nunnery" speech, Hamlet asks "Where is your father?" and Ophelia responds "At home, my lord." (3.1.126-7). This, of course, is a lie, one instigated by an uncaring father. Polonius would never have put Ophelia into the horrible situation of lying to the person she hold most ...
