- ... Nothing” depicts the story of a group of high-ranking soldiers who travel through a town called Messina. They had been to the town before, and this time Claudio confesses his love for the governor’s daughter, Hero. Because Leonato is so fond of Claudio, the wedding is set to be a few days away.

- ... the most famous of the early Greek teachers, Socrates. In order to be, one must think. Socrates was a seeker of truth, and the highest knowledge is knowing what is best for oneself and one’s community. He was penalized and served the ultimate sentence for his belief in the true nature of education. He was blamed for opposing the authoritative belief that education had the sole purpose of transmitting social ... been handed down from generation to generation. Socrates was more concerned with ethical knowledge: self-understanding means self-improvement. Not only must one know what it means to be a human being and understand one's own character (and how it falls short of the ideal), but knowing better means doing better. Knowledge becomes a virtue. One must transform one's own character in the light of one's vision of what is best. Socrates believed true knowledge or human wisdom was not abstract information or facts that filled the brain. It is knowledge that ...
- 22254: AIDS: Risk Factors / Modes of Transmission / W. Africa
- ... African continent in a uniform fashion but rather form an “AIDS Belt” in central, southern, and eastern Africa” (Bethel, 138). First, by mentioning the fact that the Third World contains three fourths of the Earth’s population, and combining that fact with that of those worlds having an overall lesser knowledge upon transmission, prevention, and AIDS in general, it is not surprising that these countries populations are greatly impacted by mortality. “Africa, with about 12% of the world’s population, is now reporting about 25% of the world’s AIDS cases. It is estimated to have over 65% of the total number of HIV-infected adults and 90% of the world’s HIV-infected children” (Stine, 364). An astonishing fact that further allows ...
- 22255: Can Intelligence be Measured

For example, children from a big school in Indianapolis certainly had different classes that could ... not. The only real thing that the IQ test tests is reading comprehension, vocabulary, and spatial relations. The test should really be based on a variety of traits. Standardized tests can also hurt a person's self esteem in some cases. If results are lower than expected, their expectations of themselves may also lower. I have seen many cases like this in my high school thought my four years. "The examiner ... privileges" (Gardener 10). "Psychologists generally agree that using tests to bar youngsters from educational opportunities, without careful consideration of past and present resources or motivation, is unethical"" (Microsoft Encarta). In order to gauge a person's intelligence, it would be necessary to set up everyday trials and tests that they would have to complete. They would then be judged on that. "Some weaknesses exist in every test" (Microsoft Encarta). Society ...
- 22256: Progressivism and The Progressive Era
- ... which reformers felt had crept into American society and government, as a result of industrialization and urbanization. Progressivism was the outcome of a number of forces in American life. The reform spirit of the 1880's and 1890's was still strong, despite the collapse of the Populist Party after the election of 1896. After the hard times of the 1890's, many Americans were anxious for a better life and supported reforms intended to achieve this.

- 22257: Immaturity
- ... most important "sense"). Let me illustrate further with a couple of quotes from Tom Robbins. "Therefore, if you're immature you're still growing, still learning, and questioning conventional concepts. Although in mature circles it's considered tedious, meddling, trying, and insubordinate." It is the atmosphere of immaturity in which change and progress thrive. This is not to suggest immature people are altruistic. They're far from it. They're immature solely for Immaturity's sake (it's rather fun). I'm certain the writers and artists of the Warner Brothers cartoons were pretty immature. The result? Quality artwork and humor that has stood the test of time. Hence, Daffy Duck was ...
- 22258: Theme Of Beowulf
- ... you not to, but no one could check such pride."(p.39, Beowulf). This quote best describes Beowulf as a child, full of pride and not that good at hiding it. "I fought that beast's last battle, left it floating lifeless in the sea." (p.40 Beowulf). Another quote that showed that in his older age, he had no problem expressing how good he was. A Knight , a hero in ... capabilities as Beowulf, even though they did both have the same roles in society and honor towards chivalry. Two qualities that did make Beowulf look a lot more heroic, unlike his absence of humility. Beowulf's role in society was almost identical to that of a Knight. Only, unlike the Knight, Beowulf made the choice to have this role in society. He was considered the strongest warrior around. He could fight anything, and would easily fight for his King and country. When King Hrothgar had trouble in his battle hall Herot, he asked for Beowulf's assistance. With honor and pride, Beowulf gladly accepted the Kings plea for help. Many believed he did so because it was considered his role in society. Either way, he fought off the two beasts, ...

- ... can be communicated between two people; even if the two agree that the censorship is okay, it is still censorship. Although the Internet was created in the 1960s as a communications tool of the U.S. military that would withstand even the most severe nuclear war and still be operable, it was not until after the government opened it up to public use in the late 1980s that the Internet became ... up information, we are also communicating to the world via electronic impulses.

- 22260: The Crucible: Social Deteriora
- The deterioration of Salem's social structure precipitated the murders of many innocent people. Arthur Miller's depiction of the Salem witch trials, The Crucible, deals with a community that starts out looking like it is tightly knit and church loving. It turns out that once Tituba starts pointing her finger at ... devil. A community living in a puritan society like Salem could easily go into a chaotic state and have a difficult time dealing with what they consider to be the largest form of evil. Salem's hysteria made the community lose faith in the spiritual beliefs that they were trying to strictly enforce. The church lost many of its parishioners because the interest of the town was now on Abigail ...
