- ... for their own benefit.

Another example of the demise of chivalry occurs at the Green Knights castle. Sir Gawain manages to keep his word for two of the days, but on the third day, he keeps the lady's scarf. The reason he does this is obviously for its protective properties. This seems like a good idea, but this violates his promise to give everything he gets back to the lord of the ...

- ... in their lives. There are often comparisons between a urban civilization to rural civilization. Humans adopt to different environments that would be the most suitable for their style of living.

- 8997: Slavery in the Eyes of the South
- Slavery in the Eyes of the South It was during the 19th century that differences on the issue of slavery built to it’s peak level in United States history.

Today, with all the events that have occurred in the 20th century to improve race relations, this is the side that the American people support.

- 8999: The Scarlet Letter: How are Life's Lessons Learned?
- The Scarlet Letter: How are Life's Lessons Learned? There are two sides of consequences for almost everything that happens in life, directly or indirectly. In life, we could learn mostly from the consequences, rather than from the punishments of our actions. If the consequences are good, we know that the action should be repeated, sometimes. If bad consequences outweigh the good, we know repeating would not be wise. Hester Prynne of Nataniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, learns from punishment and the consequences of adultery, but from which does she learn more from? Punishment from the magistrates was usually strict and severe. Hester's punishment was to stand on the wooden platform, in the town square, for three hours.
