- 1361: Birth Order
- ... born child, is he or she going to be rebellious? If people are last born are they more likely to be on television? Are first born children inconsiderate and selfish or highly motivated? A person's birth order can affect his personality. Birth order… definitely affects your personality, your attitude, your children, your occupational choice, and even how well you get along with God (Leman, Birth Order 10). There is an awful lot of research and plain old "law of averages" supporting the affect of birth order on personality.

- 1363: American Reconstruction
- In the Spring of 1865, the Civil war was finally brought to an end. The five years of war was the nation's most devastating and wrenching experience.

There are two responsibilities that the characters came in contact with, taking care of people,including themselves, and being responsible ...

- 1366: Gentlemen
- ... thing; if it is not automatic then you are liable to forget to do it and then someone might think that you are shallow and not well mannered. You also have to realize that it’s not only the person that you hold the door open for that notices what you have done. Others that are around will take notice of this act. An act such as holding open a door should be done out of the goodness of your heart. You should not be looking for something like a “thank you” in return. That’s not the reason for holding a door open. In a perfect world a person will say “thank you” but it doesn’t always work like that. Just remember that if someone holds the door open for you then you should thank him or her. It’s only common courtesy, but it still amazes me how many ...

The first three chapters present most of the important ideas or ...

The attitudes and values that Shakespeare reveals through the text ... of Elizabethan society in England in the sixteenth-century. Although Othello is set in Venice and Cyprus, the attitudes and values shared in the text are probably reflective of the attitudes and values of Shakespeare's own society. It is difficult to assess the attitudes and values of people in sixteenth-century Britain to the relatively few blacks living amongst them. We are given an insight into those attitudes and values ... Iago and Roderigo. This attitude may have been encouraged by the widespread belief in the legend that blacks were descendants of Ham in the Genesis story, punished for sexual excess by their blackness. The Elizabethan's discussed at length whether this skin colour was due to life in a hot climate or whether it was a punishment for sin. To the Elizabethan's, who thought hierarchically, fair skin was the ...

- ... great authors to this date in history, as we know it. In my lifetime, J D Salinger is one of the most famous and powerful authors I read.
