- ... on the other hand, the rainfall leaches them. The combined heat and moisture tend to produce very deep soils because the surface rock is rapidly broken down by chemical weathering.

- 27235: Tv Shows Influence On Society
- Influence of Shows in Society There are many shows that have had an impact on society, but the three that I believe had the most influence on society is Three's Company, Cosby Show and Mash. These shows had strong influence on society, and made us look at certain things with a different point of view. Three's Company had an influence in the way of the sexual revolutions. People started to see that it was ok for one guy to live with two women. People saw that women were the same as men and asked the question, why is it not ok for these people to live together. Three's Company made its influence in society by dealing with the sexual revolution and showing that men and women are equal. The Cosby Show had a great impact on society by being the African American ...

Mankind, firstly, is explored in both ... mariner now must search for moral, spiritual and internal rationality, and this goal is expressed in the poem as a type of blessing or relief which he must earn. In 'Kubla Khan', Coleridge expresses man's social instinct to conform and belong to a group. This also relates to the creation of rituals and rules by the human- being and the obeying of the cycle of life to death, again and ... creativity and imagination of mankind, where neither can be controlled. The humanisation of nature and the naturalisation of humankind are clearly but creatively defined in KK and RAM, and probably only so due to Coleridge's poetic expression. The experience his poetry leads his reader through is one which can either lightly waft them through a flow of endless rhythm or haul and scrape them through a definite grating pattern. ...
- 27237: Moral Decline
- ... morality is a worldwide plague. I think that it has something to do with the idea that no one is watching that closely anymore.

- ... rebelling against a society where she was forced into a loveless marriage and hence she would be the "good guy," or girl, as the case may be. Also the townspeople, the magistrates, and Chillingworth, Hester's true husband, can be seen in both lights. Either they can be perceived as just upholding the law -she committed a crime, they enforce the law. On the other hand are they going to extreme measures such as wanting to take Pearl, Hester's daughter, away just because Hester has deviated from the norm, all to enforce an unjust law that does not even apply to this situation? Although the subjects of the novel do apply to important issues ... with irrelevant drivel. Also by expanding on the symbolism of the scarlet letter umpteenth times he wears it out so that the reader wants nothing more to do with a dumb "A" on some woman's chest hundreds of years ago. Other than that, great book.
