social order is achieved has been the subject of
many theories presented by respectable
sociologists such as Emile Durkheim, Thomas
Hobbes, George Herbert Mead, and Karl Marx. Among

Political Forces Strong Military

The new imperialism was caused by a variety of
factors, including the onset of industrialization,
nationalist feelings and unification movements.
Economic, social and political forces accelerated
the drive to take over all parts of the globe as
well. The race for new colonies came from national
pride, patriotism and economic competition. People
thought that if a country had a large territory
then it was more powerful and other countries of
smaller size, were inferior. All great nations in
the fu...

Quote Shows British Government
1,908 words
A nationalist who preferred constitutional
methods, Jinnah's moderation in politics was
tactical, not strategic; he recognized the need to
keep inarticulate, but potentially disruptive
communal passions at bay. There was nothing
mendicant about his approach. Proud, with an
assurance painfully constructed in difficult
circumstances, he was never prepared to compromise
over principles and had little liking for Indias
white masters with whom he never felt wholly at
ease. A pragmatic politician, he ...

Things In Nature Moby Dick
815 words
Moby Dick What the White Whale Symbolizes I looked
at chapter 42, The Whiteness of the Whale, and how
Melville uses symbolism of color. In many parts of
the world the color white has a religious meaning,
it gives a god like appearance. To Captain Ahab he
has a totally different outlook of the White
Whale. To him the whale represents all things evil
in the world and Here Melville points out that it
is not good to look at something and give it just
one meaning. Ahab sees the evil, the crew sees

Point Of View Willa Cather

My? nokia has been called nostalgic and elegiac
because it celebrates the past. The inscription on
the title page of My? nokia is a quotation from
Virgil: Optima dies prima fugit. This sentence,
meaning the best days are first to flee, helps
incorporate all the elements of the novel I would
like to discuss. It not only makes clear that
Willa Cather will deal with memories of a glorious
past, but also allows suitable basis to show how
nature can change and affect a relationship. It
also hints at ...

My Zambezi Valley If the average person was asked
about the Zambezi Valley, how many would actually

In 211 BC the great general M. Claudius Marcellus
returned to Rome after his decisive defeat of
Syracuse. With him came a vast booty of
Hellenistic artifacts. Remaining outside the
sacred precincts of Rome, he supplicated the
Senate for the purification and glory of a
triumphal procession, realizing that they would

also be an ornament for the city. He opened his
triumph impressively with an allegorical painting
of Syracuse made prisoner. Paintings...

United States Government Amounts Of Money

(1) Introduction The word treaty could be defined
in many ways. It is most likely to be defined as
agreements made between two nations. But to the
Indians, treaties were simply an inevitable
agreement, which the whites requested. The madness
started when the European explorers reached North
America. The Indians lived scattered in the area.
Some lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle, moving from
camp to camp to harvest vital foods, such as maple
sap, venison, and wild rice, according to the
seasons. Bec...

One Wanted Quot City

Thomas McGrath What is there, out here on the
edge, that makes our experience different from
that of the city poet? First there is the land
itself. It has been disciplined by machines, but
it is still not dominated. The plow that broke the
plains is long gone and the giant tractor and the
combine are here, but the process of making a
living is still a struggle and a gamble is not a
matter of putting raw materials in one end of a
factory and taking finished products out of the

Coy Mistress Writing Process

Few would argue that on the surface level of
Marvels To His Coy Mistress the speaker is a lover
advancing a conventional carpe diem line of
thought. He systematically reasons with his
desired object about the futility of delaying
their interlude when the hours available to them
are limited, but the lyric may simultaneously
function as a metaphor for Marvels endeavors as a
metaphysical poet. Metaphysical writers view
poetry as an intellectual exercise, an opportunity

Our oceans cover approximately 75 % of the planet

The air around us is what keeps the flame of life
from fading and flickering out. Why would anyone

what the cost. China, a country with an extensive
