Throughout human history, people have come together to form small, independent city-states or large, expanding empires. From the Egyptian Empire in the 16th century BC to the British Empire in the 19th century AD, humankind has seen large and small empires rise and fall. Some empires have been more conventional to the Western understanding, such as the Roman Empire where there was a central capital that had direct control over other territories in which it conquered. Other empires consisted of a more complex system, like the Aztec Empire which consisted of a capital, Tenochtitlan, but had very loose control over its conquered territories. The Aztec Empire and Tenochtitlan rested upon as very complex and important social structure that provided

Author William Hazlitt in his essay “On the Want of Money” describes his feelings on the topic of money. Hazlitt employs stylistic devices to illustrate the deception and illusions that come with having or working for money. He explains that money is sought for by everyone, yet few have it, and the ones who do, usually do not enjoy it because they are worried about losing it. Through lengthy syntax, scholarly diction, and repetition, Hazlitt creates a negative mood for the reader to discover the raw truth about money and the horrible things that it can do to people.

Opening the documentary with scenes of chimpanzees navigating the forest while wielding rudimentary spears is quite frightening. Often, it is thought that humans are the only species on Earth that can make and utilize tools (such as weapons), and that is largely attributed to humans' advanced bipedalism. However, chimps have begun to use stripped down branches that are then sharpened by their teeth to hunt and catch a variety of prey. This means that chimps took distinct steps to create a weapon and conduct a hunt, and that can be related to humans' early ancestors and their rudimentary ways of life. This has major implications for two reasons: the first being that chimps are advancing intellectually and possibly socially as they seem to organize

Throughout time empires have risen and fallen and taken various approaches in doing so. Some of these society were warlike, while others focused on intellectual discovery. Among these various societies were great empires like the Ottoman, the Mughal, the Spanish, and the Ming. All four of these great empire ruled at overlapping times but all eventually fell for different reasons. All had strengths and weakness and can be used as a learning opportunity for an empire that came after them. From the Ming and the Ottoman you can learn strength such as religious tolerance and government structure. On the other hand, the Mughal and the Spanish teach us the dangers of over taxing and over centralizing government. In order for an empire to successfully function they must have an accepting culture, a balanced economy, and manageable size.

Money— sweeter than honey but oh so destructive. It facilitates a man’s life, while a lack of it imprisons him in the streets of penury. It raises his social status, while an absence of it leaves him unnoticed. It gives him an aura of superiority and importance among others, while a deficiency of it makes him worthless in society’s eyes. Considering these two roads, most do not take more than a second to decide to chase riches.

An empire is a political construct in which there is an unequal relationship between the core power or the state dominates and influences the other states or provinces. The empire uses the resources gained in their influence and divides their power amongst the provinces, yet still upholding a federal power in its center.

Empires have shaped world history in both good and bad ways. From changing regional and global power dynamics to diffusing goods, ideas, animals, vegetation, people, and even illnesses, empires have cultivated peace and instigated war (Spiegel 2012). Groups of people have been decimated while others flourished (Spiegel 2012). Before imperialism, empires did exist (i.e. Aztecs, Incas, etc) but were separated by geographical barriers, such as deserts, oceans, mountains, etc. It was with the invention of the sextant that allowed European

I think that Brett is the more dominant personality in their relationship since she comes from a wealthy background and doesn't have to get with anyone in order to live. In comparison, Frances is a dominant personality in terms of giving direction to an aimless Cohn, however he has the money and so she has to give in to his wishes. Money talks. I agree that Jake has a more pragmatic view of the world because of his war experience, compared to Cohn's romantic fantasy view. This is probably why they seem to be drawn to each other; opposites attract.

”One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed. On guard Rainsford.” Said the general neither of them went to the hounds for a repast but rather they both slept in a cozy bed.

The excerpt from “On the Want of Money” by William Hazlitt is an outcry to humanity in response to the realities of a world that revolves around currency. Hazlitt implores his audience through his rhetoric to reflect on what they deem to be important, and to realize that their desires can be the very thing restraining them from attaining their ambitions. Through the use of irony, hypothetical examples, and figurative language William Hazlitt warns of the dangerous paths the pursuit of money can lead to, and the ultimate demise of anyone who takes these paths.

Humanity is a part of everyday life, but what if your humanity was lost? All throughout the human existence, there has been humanity. In the time period of humanity, humanity was put to the test. Mass genocides, cruel leaders, world wars, and many more have shown humanity at its lowest. It shows how humanity is completely destroyed in times of injustice and war. Surviving Hitler, by Andrea Warren and The Diary of Anne Frank by Goodrich and Hackett show how the Nazi party dehumanized all Europeans that opposed the Nazi party and how they destroyed their humanity in the process.

Money has different meaning for different level of people. Some see money as food, shelter or a roof on their top, however it means pleasure and enjoyment for wealthy group of society. Money has an essential role in shaping societies, it enables the economy to grow and helps people to have better health and education. Furthermore, money has direct relation to inequality. Inequality acers when the wealth is unevenly distributed within the society, in other words the unequal distribution of resources among the people, such as money, education, time and so on. The relationship between money and inequality could be further explained from the findings of Michael Sandel’s argument, money in the form of debt in china, distribution, exchange and consumption of coffee.

Years ago, bank used to create money only if they have the real gold with them or someone deposits the gold to bank. But this is not how the bank operates today. Nowadays, banks create money as long as we, as individuals, borrow it and give the promise to return that money back. So, today, money is backed by the loan or mortgage. However, bank loans money that does not exist. Furthermore, as soon as people realize that bank creates money out of
