- ... apart. Nationalism had once again replaced communism as the dominant force in the Balkans. Slovenia and then Croatia were the first to break away, but only at the cost of renewed conflict with Serbia. The war in Croatia led to hundreds of thousands of refugees in the 1940's.

- ... much compassion for him. Another way to interpret this contradiction is that he knows that he’s doing wrong but he has to do some of these things to survive and make it in his world of poverty and hardship.

A positive and ... difference between this and the rest of the violence on the album is that, for a change, he isn’t talking about doing the violent acts himself.

- ... compare with our own ordinance survey maps; but I found that Bistritz, the post named by Count Dracula, is a fairly well known place” (Stoker 2). In contrast, Rice sets her story in the modern world. New Orleans is the main area which her story takes place. Her vampires like to live in houses rather than castles. This now brings up the subject of contact with people. Lestat likes to talk ... of five female vampires living with him in his castle. Other than that there is no mention of contact with other vampires. Actually there is no mention of any other vampires that exist in the world Stoker created. Anne Rice, obviously with more space to explore her vampires, made an entire world of vampires living incognito with mortals. She actually has a family tree of vampires which decends from a vampire in ancient Egypt. Her vampires can be found in every country and area in her ...

- ... of the poem. He uses terms that refer to creation as he describes a darkness as "mankind-making," "bird-" "beast-" and "flower-fathering," and "all-humbling." This darkness is represents the nothingness from which the world evolved, and we also know it is a great power by the descriptor "all-humbling." According to this first stanza the same darkness will also mark the end of the world when the end of the world when the "last light" breaks and the seas are silenced. This stanza establishes a cycle of darkness before creation and a darkness after destruction that lays a symbolic foundation for the rest of the ...
- 6746: Syndretizm And Abstraction In Early Christian And Roman Art
- ... Rome, amidst a growing trend toward abstraction, classical forms and values were yielding to a symbolic realism in imperial secular art, setting the stage for later abstract spiritual values in Christian artworks. The late Roman world was experiencing a variety of problems.The rapid succession and violent overthrow of the imperial leaders, military disasters, growing inflation and taxation, along with the abandonment of traditional religion, opened the door for new trends in philosophy and religion that offered an escape from the realities of a harsh world.The Greek concept of a man-centered humanistic art was fading.

Clearly, for the artists who made these images, material reality counted for nothing, and one can only suppose that this habit of shutting their eyes to the physical world was a whole-hearted adoption of the new faith, in which the spiritual world was man's sole concern." (The Catacombs, p.73 ) The visual aspect of religion was very important, especially in an ...
- 6747: Computer Mediated Evnvironment
- ... the last several years, the increased diffusion of computer and telecommunications technologies in businesses and homes has produced new ways for organizations to connect with their customers. These computer mediated environments (CMEs) such as the World Wide Web raise new research questions. In this paper, we examine the potential research issues associated with CMEs in five areas: (1) decision processes, (2) advertising and communications, (3) brand choice, (4) brand communities, and (5) pricing. In the last several years, the world of the marketing has changed dramatically with the rapid diffusion of computer and information technologies throughout businesses and homes. The two most notable changes that have increased potential of linking buyers and sellers are the number of households owning personal computers (over 33% in the U.S.) and the exponential growth of applications of the Internet, most notably the World Wide Web (WWW). With increased penetration of computers, particularly multi-media computers equipped with CD-ROM drives and modems, subscription-based services such as America Online (AOL), Prodigy, and Compuserve, where consumers are able ...
- 6748: Holocaust Revisited
- ... From the facts of the Holocaust and the thousands of volumes of literature written about the Holocaust, I have derived that the “policy of genocide” was prefigured in Nazi persecutions of the Jews before the war. This paper will discuss the measures in which the Jews were tormented by the Nazi regime. I have read several books on the history and theories of the Holocaust. Although Michael Marrus has written a ... is that the Holocaust is unique because the intentions of it were unprecedented. The Nazis’ first and foremost goal was to eliminate the Jewish people as a whole. The result of the conditions of the war, in my opinion, were merely an excuse to cover this apparent elimination goal. Writer Emil Fackenheim comments that this unique due to the fact that in other historical events, the methods were that of conversion ... weak-kneed cosmopolitan and became an anti-Semite.” (Hitler) The goals of Hitler were well thought out years before the persecution of the Jews and certainly long before the result of the conditions of the war itself.

A wide diversity of crops are grown by the subsistence farmers of the world, but larger commercial farms frequently concentrate on a few crops or even a single crop that bring them greatest returns. The continuous growing of a single crop can be financially efficient but can lead to ... it more difficult to meet future needs of changing climate, soil, and challenges from unforeseen pests. In an effort to preserve the size of the gene pool, international centers and experimental stations scattered throughout the world are beginning to develop collections of genetic samples of these local crop strains. Much irreplaceable material has been lost, but an increasing commitment by funding agencies and scientists offers hope that this genetic waste will cease. Accurate statistics on world crop production are difficult to assemble. Much crop food is consumed privately or sold in local markets for which statistics are not gathered, and many countries do not perform regular crop surveys. Several organizations, ...
