- 21581: The Crucible
- The Crucible The Crucible written by Arthur Miller is a story that explains a down side to human nature. This shows how human nature can be cruel to it’s own kind. In such a way that killing of it’s own species begins to take place. The Crucible takes place in a little town called Salem where not too much happens besides a few disagreements between neighbors. The horrible, unexpected events that take place show ... spite. In this story mankind takes on a different kind of role, one in which is not explainable.

- 21582: Enochian Scripture
- ... documented translation of the original Enochian scripture, the Necronomicon Manuscript. The Necronomicon was first translated in Damascus in 730 A.D. by Abdul Alhazred. The Necronomicon, is not, as popularly believed, a grimoire, or sorceror's spell-book; it was conceived as a history, and so "a book of things now dead and gone". An alternative derivation of the word Necronomicon gives as its meaning "the book of the customs of the dead", but again this is consistent with the book's original conception as a history, not as a work of necromancy. But the author shared with Madame Blavatsky, who has a magpie-like tendency to gather and stitch together fact, rumor, speculation, and complete balderdash, and the result is a vast and almost unreadable array of near-nonsense which bears more than a superficial resemblance to Blavatsky's "Secret Doctrine". In times past the book has been referred to as "Al Azif", or "The Book of the Arab". Azif is a word the Arabs use to refer to nocturnal insects, but it ...
- 21583: The Emergence of Heavy Metal
- ... as solid as the Experience. Increasingly, the effects of the music being produced, both by Jimi, and other acts relied heavily on the use of volume as a musical component. Most bands of the 70's would hold true to the mantra and turn their amplifiers to the symbolic ten. Lyrical messages were also changing. The main themes of sixties music were peace and unity, the 70's brought a loud cynicism, songs became darker, and more atmospheric in nature. Early heavy metal was produced as a direct descendent of the musical experimentations in sheer volume of the 60's psychedelic guitar "noise." In the same way the Stones turned R & B into Rock and Roll, Led Zeppelin turned traditional blues into an entirely new form of musical expression, a form that has come ...
- 21584: The History of Music
- ... for written music that man developed is notation. The system of musical notation generally used today is the result of centuries of development- from about the end of the ninth century to the early 1700's. This development began in the cathedrals in monasteries of the Roman Catholic Church. Since many of the Church's services were sung, they were sung from memory. Towards the end of the ninth century dots and dashes and squiggles were written over the words in the church books. These signs, called neumes, showed the ... it possible to show the length of each note was developed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Notes took new shapes and stems were added to some notes according to their length. By the 1600's the notes had become round and musical notation began to look like it does today. Today music is written and printed in a picture language. This language of notation indicates the pitch of the ...
- 21585: India
- ... no meaning and equality is nonexistent, but I also feel that it is somewhat impossible to understand fully, due to my lack of knowledge. The Hindu social structure is characterized by a caste system that’s determined by birth, geography, language and customs. Karma and dharmas concepts justify and perpetuate the regulations of the caste system on account of their similarities. In dharma one must prioritize life, starting with duty of ... maintain good karma in order to preserve a stable society. In karmic ideology every negative action in any of the recurring past lives will degrade an individuals position in the caste system, therefore effecting believer’s actions. The caste system is outlined as follows: Brahmins (priests) Kshatryas (royalty) Valshyas (merchants) Shudras (laborers) Harijans or outcasts (garbage cleaners, low occupation) The problem with the social caste system deals mostly with its strict ... concentrating more on birth and geography of ones past in order to determine ones rank in life. One can not determine his or her past, everyone is created equal, but it seems due to India’s ignorance ones past can not be changed. The Bhagavad-Gita synthesizes the conflicting goals of Hindu society/religion. The Bhagavad-Gita has been considered scripture dealing with a compilation of stories with varying motifs. ...
- 21586: The Crucible: Deteriorated Rational and Emotional Stability of Salem
- ... and Emotional Stability of Salem The trumped-up witch hysteria in Salem, Massachusetts, deteriorated the rational, and emotional stability of its citizens. This exploited the populations weakest qualities, and insecurities. The obvious breakdown in Salem’s social order led to the tragedy which saw twenty innocent people hung on the accusation of witchcraft. Arthur Miller, author of The Crucible, used hysteria to introduce personality flaws in vulnerable characters. A rigid social ... to what the masses had decided as proper, then the deviated, but innocent, were to blame. This practice contributed to the tragedy in Salem. The fear of what was unknown created an uneasiness within Salem’s population that added to Salem’s social demise. The circumstances surrounding the witchtrials gave residents something to blame the supernatural on. The condemning of Tituba was mainly due to this.

The human's role in the Hebrew story was to multiply, be fruitful, and rule all things on the earth. The Hebrew story consisted of only one god, unlike the other stories in which there were many gods, who had a distinct power. The human's role in this creation story is to multiply and rule, whereas, humans in the other stories are ruled by the gods or humans are not even mentioned at all. This story is like the ...
- 21588: The Crucible - Inner Struggles
- Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, is a great portrayal of humans and their inner struggles. This play takes place in the 1690’s in a small Puritan community based on a rigid social system. An outbreak of rumors claiming witchcraft contaminated this small village. This caused conflict among the people of name and ultimately resulted in absolute chaos.

- ... School Welcome Back Dance, I departed with vivid, fun memories of listening and dancing to a variety of melodies. Come and take the journey down memory lane! The dance was sponsored by the B.M.S. cheerleaders and was held in the school’s gymnasium. The lobby was well lit with white glistening lights. Red concrete bricks led the walkway to the gym. Natural sound absorbing qualities of oak wood furnished 2,600 square feet of flooring. The walls were decorated with sixth, seventh and eighth grade students’ spirit banners. Its main attraction was focused on the black and gold art of the school’s mascot, Bulldog. To correspond with the school’s colors, the 1,500 seating capacity, pullout bleachers were stained black and gold. The facility also contained a full-sized training room and fitness center. Bodie, ...
- 21590: Immigration
- ... The United States Government and the welfare of its citizens are chaotic enough, without having to deal with the influx of thousands of new immigrants each year. Along with the myriad immigrants to the U.S., come just as many economic problems. Some of these problems include unemployment, crime, and education. There are numerous amounts of U.S. citizens who are currently receiving welfare benefits from the government, many of whom are immigrants. The unemployment rate has been on a steady decline, which has started to level off in the past few years ... as the number of open work positions increases merely arithmetically; therefore contributing to our nations national debt, tax, and unemployment rates.
