- 9401: The Code of Hammurabi
- ... such binding human guidelines is testament to the evolution of secular thought. The evolution of “legal positivism,” which can be defined as tangible procedural law, created by man, codified and conventional, has emerged with mankind's ability to distinguish between secular and divine authority. To understand the differences between secular and divine law, we must first realize the different species of law that have bound man throughout history. These are, specifically ... will explain, characterized the legal authority of ancient Egyptian pharaohs to a degree to which their subjects were willing to submit. The absence of inalienable human rights in Egyptian society is also characteristic of ancien t Egyptian divine law. The actual concept of “human rights,” as we have come to understand them, is an understanding that has evolved with legal positivism, along with man's ability to distinguish between the spheres of the secular and vernacular. To prove these points, I also intend to explore Hammurabi's codification of natural law, and Socrates' interpretation of the state of legal ...
- 9402: Freud and Dreams
- ... plots in dreams point to deeper meanings and contain rational and insightful comments on our waking situations and emotional experiences. The ancients thought that dreams were messages from the gods. The cornerstone of Sigmund Freud's infamous psychoanalysis is the interpretation of dreams. Freud called dream-interpretation the "via reggia," or the "royal road" to the unconscious, and it is his theory of dreams that has best stood the test of time over a period of more than seventy years (Many of Freud's other theories have been disputed in recent years). Freud reportedly admired Aristotle's assertion that dreaming is the activity of the mind during sleep (Fine, 1973). It was perhaps the use of the term activity that Freud most appreciated in this brief definition for, as his understanding ...
- 9403: Cutting Class
- ... many drawbacks. Students in high school need to realize that a good education is very important for many different aspects of their lives. A high school education has a very high impact on a student's future. First of all, high school students need to realize that attending class is very important for a good education. When students decide not to attend class, they are very much jeopardizing their learning process ... Also, they miss out on the fun activities that actually coincide with learning in a classroom setting. For example, when I cut class, I missed out on a lot of different group activities. I didn't get to share personal experiences with other students that might have been rather enjoyable. Another very important reason for not cutting class has to do with responsibility. When a student cuts class, he/she can sometimes develop a negative sense of responsibility. Often a student becomes uncaring about many things. For instance, I began to care less about my family's feelings, my grades, and myself. Speaking of grades, it is almost certain that a student's grades will go down when he/she does not attend class on a regular basis. One reason is ...

However Grendel appears upset with the deer's actions. He says; “ Blind Prejudice” (Gardner 7) “Ah, the unfairness of everything, I say and shake my head. It is a matter of fact that I have never killed a deer in all my life ... his life. He always used to ask his mother “ why are we here” (Gardner 11) the only way he realized the truth was from the words of the old dragon. “You are mankind, or man's condition” (Gardner 73) Unfortunately the Dragon did not make a whole lot of sense. The dragon's final advice was “find the gold and sit on it” (Gardner 78). Unfortunately this advice left Grendel ...
- 9405: My Wedding Day, Or Is It?
- ... was August 17, 1974. The weather was hot; the people were gathered to watch. The moment had arrived; I was ready to walk down the aisle. Suddenly, someone walked in and stated, "The groom isn't here!" I couldn't believe it. The guests were told there would be a delay. The groom finally arrived; the wedding began, but only after… I met my fiancé in the summer downtown on the street in front of the Piggly Wiggly, a local grocery store. I was on a lunch break from work. I really don't know how we ever managed to get married; he never really asked me to marry him. We were at the movies one night, and he went to get popcorn. As he got out of ...

Since the 19th Century, it was known that all living things, whether they were plants or animals, were made up of cells. This whole idea has been given credit to an English Physicist ... is the control center of the cell. Between the nucleus and the membrane, there is a polysaccharide matrix called the cytoplasm, where organelles can be found. The organelles are attached to a framework. The cell’s cytoskeleton. Every living cell has the ability to detect signals from it’s environment. The signals are usually in the form of chemical molecules, that the cell has learned to recognize. The cell decodes ...

- ... the Blacks spoke a different degree of Ebonics which was discovered in newspaper articles.(Lewis p.2) In 1744 The New York Evening Post read: "Ran away...a new Negro Fellow named Prince, he can't scarce speak a Word of English" 1n 1760 an ad in the North Carolina Gazette read: "Ran away from the Subscriber,..., African Born..., speaks bad English." In 1734, the Philadelphia American Weekly Mercury read: Run away...;he's Pennsylvania Born and speaks good English," These articles show where each person came from and what there English was like.

In the confined spaces underground, a miner has no choice but to breath in large amounts of silica dust. The effects of long term exposure are a litany of elements related to ... to prevent silicosis. However, this was never medically proven.

Today, mothers and fathers affect their children so greatly that the thoughts of there not being mothers or fathers are just so far-fetched. People today wouldn t conform to that, because they are proud of having children and continuing certain traditions and family names. The next example of fantasy is the Bokanovsky Process. In the book they would have one egg that split into 96 eggs over a certain time which produced 96 identical twins.

- 9410: Robert Frost - Nature In His Works
- ... nature is strongly present and persistent. Robert Frost uses the world around him to create a mystic feeling to his writings, almost giving the reader a sense of nostalgia. The influence of nature in Frost’s works creates a palette to paint a picture filled with symbolism for the reader to interpret. The nature in the poems makes the poem an intimate piece in which most readers can identify with or imagine in some way because of the intense imagery used. In the analysis of Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken, Nothing Gold Can Stay, and Stopping By The Woods On A Snowy Evening we can pick out specific examples to illustrate Frost’s overall use of nature. In the first stanza of Robert Frost’s Stopping by the Woods on A Snowy Evening we find the speaker reflecting on the beauty of a wooded area with snow ...
