Early Modern Europe 16 Th And 17
865 words
In a history class last year, I was made aware of
a movement from some radical feminist groups that
claimed the slaughter of innocent women in the 16
th and 17 th century witch trials as a parallel to
the misogynistic persecution they perceive as an
integral part of culture today. The use of the
inquisition of witches as an analogy for the
contemporary subjugation of women is a historical
due to the evolution of the social dynamics that
occurred between the 16 th and 20 th centuries.
The politic...

Worker Bees Dominant Male
1,187 words
Altruism is thought of as being behaviour
exhibited by one individual to benefit another,
with no direct gain but at some cost for that
first individual. Apparent altruism is the idea
that although behaviour may seem to be fully
altruistic (i. e. non-selfish) behaviour there is
actually a gain for that individual. Genetically
this gain tends to refer to the fitness of the
individual i. e. their reproductive success. It
was Darwin who first suggested the problematic
paradox introduced by some alt...

State Of Nature Nature Of Man

Abstract John Locke and Thomas Hobbes lived during
a very turbulent century in Britain. Both men were
great thinkers of their time, but held very
different opinions on politics and many other
facets of life and man. Both of these men were
theorists on natural law and social contracts, but
this is where the resemblance between the two
ends. The time in which these two men lived can
account for the pessimistic views of Hobbes on the
nature of man and the ideal form of government.
Locke, however, h...

Sun And Moon High Water

The moon, Tides Lunar Tides The moon, being much
nearer to the earth than the sun, is the principal
cause of tides. When the moon is directly over a
given point on the surface of the earth, it exerts
a powerful pull on the water, which therefore
rises above its normal level. Water covering the
portion of the earth farthest from the moon is
also subject to this pull, so that another
distinct dome of water is formed on the farther
side of the earth providing the basis for a second
wave. The lunar ...
