- 3151: A Reborn Nation by a New Democracy (Mao Tse-Tung)
- ... He wants the ignorant old culture to be enhanced into innovative China (Tse-Tung, 1). A significant turning point took place in China’s bourgeois-democratic revolution after the wide spread of the first imperialist world war in 1914 and the founding of a socialist state on one-sixth of the globe as a result of the Russian October Revolution of 1917. The Chinese revolution has changed greatly since the Chinese bourgeois-democratic revolution came within the old category of the bourgeois-democratic world revolution. Portions of the proletarian-socialist world revolution are caused by the alignment of the revolutionary pressures (Tse-Tung, 1). The socialist system eventually replaces the capitalist system. The flip side occurs when the ...
- 3152: The Alchemist
- "That's the principle that governs all things. In alchemy, it's called the Soul of the World. When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force" (80). Anything I've ever wanted to happen bad enough, there has always been a way for me to achieve that goal. Or an alternative that could be more beneficial appears. Except, I wouldn't quite call it the Soul of the World. I'd call it the will of God. Both Santiago in "The Alchemist" and the priest's son in "The Water's of Babylon" worked with the Soul of the World or the will ...

- 3155: Candid Analysis
- ... other characters differ from Candide by their pessimism (most notable Martin, who seems to be the antitheses of Candide's optimism), Lord Pococurante is unhappy with life because he is supremely jaded with what the world has to offer. He is thus Candide's opposite as much as Martin, though the opposition is based upon the noble's jaded state versus Candide's naive one. By the book's conclusion Candide ... Martin represents pessimism and worldliness more than any other character in the novel. He refutes Candide's idea that this is the best of all possible worlds, speaking instead of the harsh realities of the world, one in which men war, rape, pillage, envy, lust, are miserable and just don't seem to get along with each other. In face of the happenings within the novel, Martin is somewhat justified in being a pessimist, and ...
- 3156: American Revolutionary War
- American Revolutionary War Were the Colonists Justified in Their Rebellion against England? Did They Have an Adequate Cause for Revolution? Starting after the termination of the Seven-Year’s war, by the Peace of Paris, England repeatedly violated the American Colonists’ rights.

Children can get robbed of a special experience and protection called "Family." They move on in their lives as individuals without the understanding of what familial security and bond is.

- 3158: An Analysis Of If Men Could Me
- ... Men can make simple aspect such as physical size and strength, positive factors of their superiority, what would their command of a menstrual cycle and the ability to bear children cause an already male dominated world. Women would be subjected to further suppression and neglect by the now ultimate dominant specie. These views are not circumstantial; they are based on the human behavioural tendency to supersede the competition, in this case ... begin to study the cycle and its effects in dept. They would create new and more effective ways to menstruate, all because the need arose. The menstrual cycle would become the centre of man’s world, because the demand became present. This hypothesis as presented by Steinem is again showing how the real world functions, in term of what is considered a priority and who decides what the priorities are. This is male dominance at its slippery best. Steinem analysis on the topic of sexism and dominance is ...
- 3159: Lewis' "Surprise by Joy": Analysis
- ... his "distaste for all that is public, all that belongs to the collective." The record of his life, to the extent that it contributed to his defense of Christianity, would be temporarily opened to the world at large--but only under his conditions. It would not be submitted for approval to those pundits or self-styled critics of his career who were merely searching evidence to undermine his arguments for Christian ... less a sinner than anyone else, but it is chiefly his intellectual journey that needs charting; his is not a grand repentance from fleshly indulgence but a recovery of a child-like wonderment at the world and its mysteries. To further this specific goal, the volume contains only those people and events, ideas and contexts that help Lewis explain his conversion--first to himself, and then secondarily to his readers. Never ... fleetingly available in earthly loves and aesthetics. It is, for Lewis, only finally received in heavenly glory at the consummation of the age, a joy to be found in the Creator who himself invented both world and word, person and personality. It is He alone who redeems his fallen creation and provide them joy. From his earliest intimations of this joy, Lewis depicts himself in Surprised by Joy as precociously ...
- 3160: Iliad 2
- ... men. They both display behavior that could be described as heroism. The first way in which Achilles, who fights for the Greeks, and Hector, who fights for the Trojans, act differently is how they approach war and the inevitable violence and death that accompany it. Although Achilles knows that he is fated to be killed in battle, when his faithful and devoted friend Patroclus is mercilessly and dishonorably cut down in combat, he puts aside his pride and chooses to temporarily forget about his previous feuds with Agamemnon that have, up until now, prevented him from participating in the war. He joins the fighting with a deadly and vengeful mindset that will likely play a major factor in the outcome of the war. Today, this lust for revenge might be considered a glaring character flaw. However, this passion for retribution undoubtedly conforms to the heroic code of Greek society. Meanwhile, Hector is full of indecision and reluctance ...
