- 6851: Civil War - North Vs. South
- ... the south and the north developed into two distinctly different colonies. Although their origins were both from Europe, their customs and living habits became so different that it would play a major role in America’s history. There are many reasons why these differences occurred but only a few major reasons stand out. Religion, greed and the composition of the colonies are some of the major reasons why the north and south grew to be so different in the late 1600’s. Different religions in specific colonies varied, but the people from the New England region were generally more devoted to their religious beliefs, whereas people from the south felt religion wasn’t as important. Children from the north are taught from The Bible as soon as possible and this instills high moral values into the people. In the south only the wealthiest families could afford education, ...

- 6854: Air Bags
- Airbags Crash! Your car just smashed into the car right in front of you at a speed of 35 mph. The whole front of your car is smashed but luckily your head isn’t, thanks to the airbag deploying. This scenario happened over 2.9 million times through August, 1998. Airbags significantly reduce the risk of being killed in a crash. The risk of being killed, if you have your seatbelt on, is reduced by 26% and 32% if you don’t have a belt on and the airbag goes off. Airbags also reduce the risk of serious head injuries by 75% if used with a shoulder and lap belt. Yes, airbags save lives, but they have ... Since 1990, about 113 deaths have been caused by airbags inflating in not serious accidents. 51 of these deaths were children, most of whom were not using a seat belt.

Never put a rear facing child seat in the front seat of the ...
- 6855: The Changing Roles Of Women In
- ... in God. Beneatha, however, does not find solace in God. Instead, she believes that man deserves credit for his own efforts. In Act I, Beneatha says, "How much cleaning can a house need, for Christ's sakes." (p. 34) Lena gets mad and Ruth says that Beneatha is "fresh as salt." (p. 34) Beneatha retorts, "Well- if the salt loses its savor." (p. 34) Lena gets offended even at this mild sacrilege. Later, Lena says, "You going to be a doctor, honey, God willing." (p. 38) Beneatha replies, "God hasn't got a thing to do with it." (p. 38) She goes on to say, "God is just one idea I don't accept I get tired of Him getting credit for all the things the human race achieves through its own stubborn effort. There simply is no God- there is only man and it is who ...
- 6856: Cornel Wests Challenges For Th
- Cornel West's Challenges for the American Youth "Diversity and American Democracy." What does this mean? On September 29th, Cornel West tried to answer that question in front of some very young and naïve Syracuse University freshman. As ... and have the youth of today continue the democratic tradition for tomorrow. All of his challenges are obtainable and realistic goals if the youth of America band together and make some serious changes. Mr. West's first challenge was to end the wealth inequality, which although extremely ambiguous, is absolutely possible. Mr. West believes in the old cliché, "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Although the government would like to deny such a claim, it seems as though Mr. West is right about this. With the wealthiest people owning all of the property and the businesses, it doesn't give people with fewer resources the opportunity to compete. I doubt that Bill Gates would ever allow any small business competition, even though it would never hurt the billion-dollar monopoly of Microsoft. Gates ...
- 6857: Julius Caesar
- The story of Julius Caesar’s assassination has been told both historically and fictionally. Historical sources focus on the facts of the assassination, while fictionary works focus more on the characters and the drama of the story. Because of the different purposes of the sources, there are many differences between the historical and fictional stories. William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar adds certain details and dramatic elements to make the story more interesting and to make the play more enjoyable. Historical sources such as Roger Bruns’s Caesar and Manuel Komroff’s Julius Caesar present an more accurate account of the events that occurred on and around the Ides of March. There are however, because all of the sources are telling ...
- 6858: The Beginnings of a National Literary Tradition
- ... literary thought. Lampman was one of our first major literary figures to try and identify a "national" literature. He realized the importance of having a specifically Canadian literary tradition. An important stepping point in Lampman's career came after he read the work Orion by Charles G.D. Roberts. Lampman describes his over powering emotion when as a youth he came across this published work(in the quote on the title ... literary tradition. His upbringing was in a very conservative environment as Lampman descended from Loyalists on both sides of his family and his father was an Anglican clergyman. It seemed that "every element in Lampman's upbringing told against the development of Canadianism in [him], but Canadianism did develop very early"(E.K. Brown 97). As a child growing up around Ontario he had the pleasure of holding acquaintance with both Susanna Moodie and Catherine Parr Trail at Rice Lake. Both of these writers were in their 70's when Lampman met them but perhaps they were an influence on his desire to explore the Nature of Canada. As a young adult Lampman was educated first at Trinity College and then he pursued ...
- 6859: Pride And Prejudice Austen’s M

There are four main marriages in the novel: Charlotte’s to Mr.Collins, Lydia’s to Wickham, Jane’s to Mr. Bingley, and Elizabeth’s to Mr.Darcy. ...
- 6860: Ben Franklins Religion
- ... that at a young age he "became a thorough Deist" (1359), Franklin saw God as much more than a blind watchmaker. Among his frequent references to practicality, reason, and the value of experimental science, Franklin's metaphysical beliefs [2] easily get lost, especially as he distances himself theologically from colonial Christian doctrines. It becomes convenient but incorrect to let Franklin's "virtue" stand apart from his religious beliefs. Franklin maintained a firm belief, however, in "a Being of infinite Wisdom, Goodness and Power" (165) [3], a God who by "providence" [4] acts frequently in the world ... a purely deterministic view of a God-created universe was absurd and useless precisely because it would require God to blind himself ("On the Providence of God in the Government of the World," 166). Franklin's God is useful first because he chooses "to help and favour us" via divine intervention (168). [5] Franklin's God is useful, second, because he inspires us to perform our own good actions. [6] ...
