Only A Few Times In The Course Of Human History Has A Single

lifelong journey home. The Iliad was an epic poem that got its toes wet with topics such as human thought and introspection, but that was all secondary to the actual themes which were power and war. Homer’s Odyssey is exactly like its prequel because it is also an epic poem. Aside from that one large similarity the two stories could not be further apart. Rather than delving back into the topic that is human interaction and conflict Homer chose to write about much deeper thought inducing themes such

ownership of human beings far exceeds what the majority of Americans hold to be true. Consequently, the rightful historical context differs greatly from modern portrayals. When slavery is brought up, an individual may likely conjure up images of enslaved Africans by white Americans, enslaved Africans by Southern white Americans, enslaved Africans by Europeans, or at best, Africans enslavement in the Western hemisphere. Problematic to this selectively narrow understanding of history is what is removed

Penicillin has had an enormous effect on society. One of the most famous examples of serendipitous science in the 20th century and what some would consider a miracle, penicillin constantly effects society to this day. This discovery saves lives every day and has for almost eighty years. This discovery is scientifically unique and ideal as a medication, even if surrounding circumstances aren’t always ideal. In 1928 Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin when he left a plate of staphylococcus

The Enlightenment was a period of history throughout the mid-decades of the seventeenth century and during the course of the eighteenth century, in which intense revolutions in science, philosophy, society and politics occurred. This part of history was important because it was an enormous departure from the Middle Ages. Seldom before and after this time, did the Church have as much power as it did during the Enlightenment. There were three main eras of the Enlightenment: The Early Enlightenment

The Boiling Frog Theory on Population Systems thinkers have given us a useful metaphor for a certain kind of human behavior in the phenomenon of the boiled frog. The phenomenon is this. If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a

“I can’t believe how much time has gone by.” This was my first thought when I looked at the clock on my laptop screen. I had done it again. I was researching a topic we had discussed that day in history, and I got side tracked. Instead of just reading what needed to be read, I dug even deeper into the subject, reading article after article on The Renaissance. “Why did I have to be so fascinated with The Renaissance?” I asked myself. I could have this entire assignment done by now. I looked down at

Over the course of the past 250 years, the United States has proven that it is a world leader. It has shown that all you need in order to make something great of your life is grit, spit, and determination. Decade after decade, century after century, America has continually astounded the international community with its creative and forward-thinking might. With many of the most commonly used pieces of technology having their origins in the United States, it is safe to say that every generation of

The New York Department of Education is debating re-zoning some of Manhattan’s schools in order to diversify the student bodies. Of all of the proposed integrations, the re-zoning of Public School (PS) 199 and PS 191 has led to the most persistent parent protests. On the one hand, this change would lead to a more diverse student body, reduce overcrowding at PS 199, and break down the walls of racial, political, and socio-economic division. On the other hand, it would potentially cause disruptive

Many people in this world have heard about the Artificial Intelligence (AI) but they never knew how it was developed and how is t growing. AI has been planned for years and is still one of the most mysterious subjects in Computer Science. In this essay I will be taking you into more of a short summary of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence has been one of the most important things that was invented and without it we would not have gotten to where we are in technology. This partly due

1973, the Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade changed the course of American history. The outcome of this case made abortion, “the termination of a pregnancy resulting in the death of the fetus,” legal in all fifty states (Abortion Facts). Abortion has become one of the most controversial topics in our nation, and is becoming a substantial issue (Sproul 47). Every abortion takes the life of a child, the most innocent of human beings. Not only does an abortion kill the fetus, but the procedure itself
