- 24471: Vegetarians
- ... tradition of vegetarianism was kept alive in dark and dingy Christian abbeys where monks abstained from meat to suppress their animal passions. (The belief that meat consumption is associated with base urges that hinder one's spiritual progress lingers on in the minds of some contemporary vegetarians, as we will see later.) The Benedictines, Trappists, and Cistercians are all examples of monastic orders that practiced vegetarianism for a period of time ... look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men." The vegetarian "Renaissance" can be said to have occurred during the late 18th and 19th centuries. During this period, Darwin's theory of evolution destroyed the notion that animals are fundamentally different from humans, and in so doing, challenged the religious and philosophical justification for eating them. The new view was that of a continuum of ... forefront of the burgeoning vegetarian movement. The Bible Christian Church, founded by William Cowherd in 1809 in Manchester, England, played a major role in advocating and furthering the cause of vegetarianism.

They also believed that a vegetarian diet was healthier than one based on meat and that Christians have a duty to ...

- Trifles was written in the early 1900 s by Susan Glaspell. This occurred far before the women s movement. Women were generally looked upon as possessions to their husbands.

Next, the Aids virus goes after certain chemokines. Chemokines are proteins or (protein receptors) on the surface of T-cells and microphages, they are used to "talk" to, arouse, and attract cells. There are two variants of chemokines, alpha and beta chemokines. Among these there are many different chemokines from CCR5, CCR3, CXCR4, etc… Now AIDS needs the CD4 molecule and the CCR5 protein to be present on a T-cell to successfully infect the cell. It needs the CD4 molecule to latch on to the cell. Once this is accomplished it needs the CCR5 protein to be able to get inside of the ...
- 24474: World War I Propaganda
- ... United States took this as a direct attack on the nation and so did the newspapers. They saw this as a perfect excuse to go to war with the rival Germans. What most people didn’t realize was that the German government ran an add in the newspaper the day of the departure of the Lusitania.

- 24475: Do Men Have Symptoms of PMS?

- 24476: I And II Thessalonians
- ... by Paul and they seem to be uncharacteristic of him. The phrase, "shaken in mind", is in 2:2 (NRSV) and is another example of something that is not in any other part of Paul's writings. The style of II Thessalonians seems different than Paul’s usual means or writing. This letter is written in a very formal way as if to people that the author may not know very well (Freed 320). Paul would have known these people since he ... first letter. (320) The major basis of the argument that Paul did not write II Thessalonians deals with the situation of eschatology. Eschatology is dealt with in opposite ways in the two letters. In Paul’s agreed work of I Thessalonians, he says that, “the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night” (5:2 NRSV).

- 24477: The Relationship Between Snowb
- The relationship surrounding Snowball and Napoleon in George Orwell s Animal Farm tends to be on rocky grounds. Snowball, a clever pig, tends to be loyal, brave, and outgoing. These are just a few excellent qualities of a leader. Napoleon, a boar, on the other hand, is quite frankly rude, wretched, and full of greed. Both have had their share of leadership on the farm, yet both have had their share of conflict as well. Snowball, Animal Farm s first and foremost leader, is and always should be well respected. He bravely fought at the battle of Cowshed, the first conflict between man and animal. He took wounds, he took control, and he spoke ... excess. Or No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets. Napoleon grounded the rations of each and every animal. The farm slowly fell into a dark abyss with every wretched move Napoleon made. What s worse, Napoleon came to constantly use Snowball to shift the blame on every small mishap on the farm. For example, when the windmill was first destroyed by the tornado, Napoleon blamed it on Snowball. ...
- 24478: The Argument against Female Circumcision
- ... ever say anything on the matter, even if they object. Speaking of issues regarding women and sex in these countries is a taboo. One woman, Nawal El Saadawi, a medical doctor who later became Egypt’s Director of Public Health was brave enough to come forward. The fact that she did ultimately lead to dismissal from her position and actual imprisonment. Her writings are forbidden from many of the Arab countries ... external organs led to retention of urine. Everytime I wanted to urinate the burning sensation was so bad I could not bring myself to pass water…” (171) There has also been much in El Saadawi’s work to prove that there is much psychological damage done, especially in the area of sexual shock. This sexual shock lead to great fridgety making it almost impossible for a woman to ever enjoy sex ... unimportant to reproduction and therefore unimportant to women. “The clitoris however, is an organ neglected by medicine, just as it is ignored and disdained by society.” (El Saadawi 171) It seems according to El Saadawi’s research that educated families are beginning to understand the dangers of this operation. A study she did showed that 97.5% of uneducated families have their daughters circumcised while only 66.2% of educated ...
- 24479: Osteoporosis and Effects of Gavity and Space
- ... an absolute decrease in the amount of bone present to a level below which it is capable of maintaining the structural integrity of the skeleton. To state the obvious, Human beings have evolved under Earth’s gravity "1G". Our musculoskeleton system have developed to help us navigate in this gravitational field, endowed with ability to adapt as needed under various stress, strains and available energy requirement. The system consists of Bone ... of return to 1G. There is also significant evidence derived primarily from rodent studies that seem to suggest decreased bone formation as a factor in hypogravitational osteoporosis. Boy Frame,M.D a member of NASA’s LifeScience Advisory Committee [LSAC] postulated that "the initial pathologic event after the astronauts enter zero gravity occurs in the bone itself, and that changes in mineral homeostasis and the calcitropic hormones are secondary to this ... than proving a theoretical principle in preventing hypogravitational osteoporosis. Skylab experience has shown us that in spite of space related osteoporosis humans can function in microgravity for six to nine months and return to earth’s gravity. However since adults may rebuild only two-third of the skeletal mass lost, even 0.3 % of calcium loss per month though small in relation to the total skeletal mass becomes significant when ...
- 24480: A Comparison of the French and Russian Revolutions
- ... situation grew worse. In 1917, the Russians were fighting in World War I. A good majority of the Russian people were weary and uncontent with the way the war was going and with the Czar's rule. This uncontent along with economic hardships caused riots and demonstrations to break out. The Czar called for the army to put down the revolution as they did in 1905. But the army joined the ... Lenin gained the support of the peasants and gained control of Russia and setup a communist state. The French revolution was also caused by a bad ruler and a bad economy. During the early 1780's a big percent of annual budget went towards king Louis XVI's lavish estate at Versailles. France also had no central bank, no paper currency, no ways of getting more money, and an out-dated tax system which only taxed the poor who had no money ...
