The main characters in Euripides’ plays, Medea and The Bacchae, both reject the gender roles placed upon them, but also know how to work them to their advantage. After murdering her father, Medea fled from her homeland of Colchis with a man named Jason, who she married. They took refuge in Corinth and had two children, so when Medea learns that Jason’s going to marry a princess, she’s angry. As a foreigner, Medea’s only tie to Corinth is Jason, and in lines 244–247 she says, “I am alone and stateless, dishonored by my husband: plundered from a barbarian land”.
Table 4.1 presents the characteristics of the milk market participant and non-participant households. There are statistically significant differences between the two groups on 17 covariates.

The government has put a limit on the amount of milk powder that can be purchased by Chinese who travel to Hong Kong.

Gambling has made immense impacts on the everyday lives of a countless amount of people. Somehow this western pastime has integrated and almost taken control of the Asian and American Asian communities. The gambling issue within the Asian culture has affected families, and individuals in such drastic ways. Within the last few years we have seen an immense outburst of gambling in Macau, which is now the gambling capital of the world. Along with the recent outburst of gambling in Macau we find the dark side of gambling. The illegal activities that follow gambling have taken a toll on society as well as the people involved. Also we quickly see the economic impact made by all the money flowing through Macau. Gambling
I discovered a love for art history my freshman year in an honors course with Dr. Esther Sparks. She was so passionate about art history and her students. Dr. Sparks painted such a vivid picture of the history behind the art, its importance and significance. When considering study abroad locations, because of the class I took on a whim and Dr. Sparks whom I adored, I knew I wanted to travel somewhere with rich history, culture, art, and architecture. On every street corner of Florence, Italy, stands some piece of history; therefore, I have chosen this location for my study abroad experience. I am completely awestruck by not only the beauty of these masterpieces, but by the stories they hold. I find myself daydreaming of the people who created these magnificent structures, who they were, and what they thought of themselves and their creations. My goal is to immerse myself in the culture and absorb as much knowledge and understanding of Italian history and traditions as I possibly can so that I may, in turn, become a more well rounded individual.
The amount of employment that casinos offer also goes along with the economy. Without any of the jobs that the casinos have the economy would be endangered. The casinos offer jobs like accounting, dealing cards, and security. Some of these jobs require some education like accounting, but security and dealing cards does not require any sort of degree (Garrett). The biggest part is that building a casino in a city is that it decreases the unemployment rate.

Life of Everyday Macanese- Macau the Imaginary City 1557- present by Jonathan Porter is the fifth annotation I want to do for my research project. Macau is a port nation surrounded by sea and there are no supplies of food or water that Macau can self-sustain. Instead of growing food, Macau became a busy port for European and Asian traders where they collected taxes as a form of living. Of course, under the Portuguese government, all the taxes were given to the crown. In Macau, there is no such position as a farmer or a blacksmith. Instead, merchant and bankers became the most popular form of making a living due to the lack of resources. Today, Macau's economy heavily depends on the European and Chinese tourists coming here to gamble. Gambling is the main source of
Imagine a large university full of nothing but young Caucasian Americans. Would you see a problem? What if I told you these students were the top applicants; then would you still see a problem? In the world we live in today, one would think that there would be no more racial profiling because it is 2015, but this is not the case for college administrations. Quota systems that use race to exclude or include people from higher education and the opportunities it offers are divisive, unjustifiable and difficult to square with the constitution. As a country, government, people, we must battle to react to prejudice wherever we find it, yet as we work to address the wrong of racial prejudice, we need not use means to create another virtual unethical stigma. According to virtue ethical system, ethnicity should not be a deciding factor despite the common belief that diversity help students learn by creating diverse perspectives.
“Finally, we get to go on vacation.” I said as we got up to leave. My parents had already loaded up the car and we were ready to go. All morning while I was getting ready was the sound of suitcases being dragged around and the beeping of the car as the trunk opened and closed.

Undoubtedly, casino industry is one of the profitable industries in the United States. Setting up a casino with a huge investment may be easier. However, management of casinos requires much groundwork for the casino managers. Traditional way of running the casino is no longer viable in the current scenario. The days have gone when casino meant only a few slot machines for people’s entertainment. Tough competition in the casino industry made the task of casino managers more complex.
