Light And Dark Oedipus The King
1,161 words
In Sophocles story of Oedipus Rex the author uses
various literary elements to expose the main heros
personality and create a constant impression of
tragic and disastrous setting throughout the whole
play. Many contrasts are done through numerous
allusions to the light and dark side of each
situation to portray the duality of everything
that happens and is predestined to happen. This
symbolism is mainly used to show the hopelessness
of the main heroes to change their fate and the
prophesied futu...

Liquid Water Aquatic Life
655 words
What would the world be like if solid water was
denser than liquid water? Density is a property of
matter. It is defined as the amount of material
that fits in a given space. Denser objects are
naturally heavier than objects that are less dense
and of the same size. In the same manner that
solid objects have density, liquids also have
density. In that connection, water is denser than
oil. If two objects of different densities come
into contact, then the one that is less dense will
float on it. T...

Position Of Women Independence
597 words
The Roles of Females in Dramatic Literature Women
have always fought for independence from men from
the earliest days of existence. In earlier
centuries it was not as powerful as a movement as
it is today because so many more women push for
independence than they did before. Yet, many women
in the past have fought for their independence
even until death. We know very little about these
women because they were suppressed and not told
about. Only a few of their stories found their way
into storyte...

Foreign Secretary British Foreign

Castlereagh and Canning were foreign secretaries
who both unashamedly kept British interests at the
forefront of their actions. The two men sought to
defend Britains position in Europe and her trading
interests throughout the world. However, they
disagreed over the methods by which these goals
would be achieved. Castlereagh was a friend of
established autocratic regimes who, in pursuit of
his anti-liberal objectives, involved Britain in
close alliances with the monarchs of Europe.

World War 1 Triple Alliance
782 words
War is caused by one or several countries
aggression and rivalry to expand their powers,
army or land. Lenin also mentioned that war is
also over annexation over who has more colonies
and power. War is also the response by which one
society tries to reduce the capacity of another
society to obtain its objectives. Thus, Lenin s
analysis of the causes of World War 1 is right.
The 3 main reasons for the cause of World War 1
are: capitalism and acquiring colonies in order to
gain access to cheap res...

Violent Crimes Violent Acts

Young teenagers must get the message that violence
will not be tolerated in our academic institutes,
that these violent acts will be met with the
severest reprimands. Some people believe that
enforcing harsher penalties on young offenders is
not a good idea as current laws are more
effective. Many parents resent the fact that they
should be held responsible in many situations.
Stricter rules should be placed on young offenders
who break the law. Young offenders who commit
violent crimes should b...

Sense Of Morality Moral Code
1,439 words
When reading Niccolo Machiavelli s The Prince, one
can t help but grasp his argument that ordinary
morality and politics cannot exist in the same
forum. However, when examining Machiavelli s
notions in depth, one can conclude that perhaps a
moral end fuels his suggested use of force and
violence. First and foremost, one must have the
understanding that this book is aimed solely at
describing what conditions and actions are
necessary for a would-be prince to take in order
for him to obtain and ma...

World War Ii United States And Russia

Beginning in the Thirteenth Century, Europe has
undergone tremendous changes and has hit its
proudest and most shameful points. Historians have
long debated whether Europe+s past leads us to
think pessimistically or optimistically in terms
of the future. The events which occurred in the
pre-Renaissance and Napoleonic eras, when combined
with the Cold War and both World Wars can lead the
human race to expect pessimistic outcomes for
Europe+s future. Due to the poor conditions which

To Be A Slave Essay submitted by Anonymous The
only things that come to my mind when I think of
slavery and of the book To be a Slave are either
misunderstanding or very negative. During the
slavery years, African people were subjected to
some of the worst treatments of the history of
this planet. They were forced to work for white
people as slaves, but that is nothing compared
with the treatment they received. Slaves were
beaten, mal-nourished, and disrespected as a
whole. Slaves were considere...

Acute Golden Rule
951 words
To discuss a statement of this nature, it would be
necessary to define the meaning of evil. In my
opinion, any act, which inflicts harm on another
individual (or group of individuals), is evil and
is to be avoided at all costs. Taking that in
mind, one (usually! ) restricts his behaviour to
acts that do not fall under the category of being
evil. Following this golden rule, all is well and
good until we face a situation where evil acts may
(seem to) lead to good. It is not hard to think of
such s...

World War Ii Institution Of Slavery

The civil war was doubly tragic because it was
completely unnecessary. Slavery had been ended in
other nations with the stroke of a pen, and yet in
the mighty United States the country was willing
to go to war over the issue of whether slavery
should remain. The southerners felt that it was
their constitutional right to own slaves and did
not see a time when they should be required to
give up that right. However, upon the election of
Lincoln as President, the southerners felt
threatened, and fel...
