- 21831: A Review Of The Article Infide
- ... The difference researchers explain is that there is an existence of a jealousy gender gap. In order to explain what causes the jealousy between genders scientists are now creating tests to prove whether the mind s ability to reason, rather than genes, can explain the jealousy gender gap (59). Scientists theories differ on the science of sexual infidelity. Some scientists use a theory referred to as my genes made me think it (58). This theory proposes that jealousy is triggered depending on our genes being passed down from Neanderthal days. Evolutionary psychologists argue that the jealousy gender gap is a legacy to humankind s past, and these genes shape how we think feel and act. These psychologists believe the reason why men go crazy over adultery is because it is embedded into their genes. This bothers men because they can never be sure of paternity. For example, if a woman strays from her partner there are possibilities she could become impregnated. Hence, her partner would be supporting another man s child. Another theory scientists offer to explain sexual infidelity looks at reasonable differences between the sexes in how they interpret evidence of infidelity (58). This may explain the gender gap. This means that a ...

- ... imposed on the Holy Land. He told them all of the destruction and desecration of churches, and the torturous treatment of the Christian inhabitants of the Holy Land.

On their way to the East they terrorized the Balkans by looting and persecuting the Jews ... made its way across the Balkans and assembled in Constantinople" (Hollister,p.189). The warriors of the First Crusade numbered around 25,000 or 30,000. The number of troops may seem minuscule by today's standards it was " immense in the eyes of contemporaries " ( Hollister,p.189).

- 21834: Grapes Of Wrath: Jim Casey As A Christ Figure
- ... burgeon of migrant families facing West. Steinbeck manages to give Jim Casey the exact initials as the historical savior (J.C.), which allows the reader to latch onto this connection from the beginning. Yet, Caseys relation to Christ goes beyond such mere coincidences, and plays out rather in their similar plans of action. One of the many similarities between Casey and Christ is that Casey had also drifted out to the forests in order to "soul-search" and discover the answers to sometimes hidden questions. In this particular situation, Casey himself states the comparison of Christs and his actions while giving a grace at the Joads breakfast table, "...I been in the hills, thinkin, almost you might say like Jesus went into the wilderness to think His way out of a mess of troubles" (Steinbeck ch.8). Casey further goes ...
- 21835: Balances of Values and Academic Freedom of Inquiry
- ... material presented to us. When there is a difference, we should not ignore the idea or block it out. We should feel free to learn and question new ideas. Just because we learn something doesn't mean we have to accept it. We should leave ourselves open to new ideas. When we do this we become very well rounded individuals. An example of this is the issue involving the debate between evolution and creationism. As Christians, we naturally believe in creationism, but we shouldn't stop learning about evolution because we don't believe in it. This makes us very close minded. We shouldn't stop learning about a subject just because we don't believe in it. One of our freedoms is the academic freedom of ...
- 21836: A Tale Of Revenge In The Cask
- ... regret, and as he sobers with terror, the final blow will come from the equalization that his craving for the wine has led him to his doom. "The Cask of Amontillado" is about one man's family revenge on another family. In structure, there can be no doubt, that both Montresor's plan of revenge and Poe's story are carefully crafted to create the desired effect.

Hades already rules the Underworld, don't you think he can rule this country? Hades is the choice for President of the USA. Hades could solve a lot of the bad problems.

- ... these spheres of power the colonists believe, justifies their rebellion. The uses of the word power set the tone of the Declaration of Independence.

- 21840: My Great-Grandmother was not a Person
- ... a Person My Great-Grandmother was not a person. Neither was yours. Up until about 67 years ago no females were. We were supposed to be pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen. At least that's the perception that the laws enforced. (For ex: The Election Act of the Dominion of Canada and The Common Law of England) As part of the British Commonwealth many of our laws were the same as England's and enforced by British parliament. One such law from the Common Law of England stated that "A woman is not a person in matters of rights and privileges, but she is a person in matters ... hard as the one the famous five women have fought. The Election Act of the Dominion of Canada states that "No woman, idiot, lunatic, or criminal shall vote." So women are equal to criminals? It's not a crime to be a woman. We should not be judged by our sex. On April 19, 1916 women in Alberta were granted the right to vote. A small battle was won. Five ...
