Wars throughout Time

In the aftermath of World War II, tensions heightened between the two dominant powers: America and the USSR. The differences between the ideologies of the communist USSR and the capitalist United States led to a rapid deterioration in relations. The era between 1945, which marked the end of World War II, to 1991, when the Soviet Union dissolved, became known as the Cold War due to the fact that despite the lack of large scale conflict, both sides still feared a nuclear holocaust. Both the United…

Yesika Suazo The Civil War Tensions grew between the North and the South causing what is known as the worse war tragedies of all time.

The Great War of Our Time was a pleasure to read. It was an emotional ride for me throughout the entire book. It made me laugh out loud; giggle to myself, tear up, become upset and sometimes it caused a pleasant grin to grow across my face. From the beginning of this book to the very last page, I thought was an easy read. He starts the book off talking about the three primary missions of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA): collecting secrets clandestinely, conducting all-source analysis…

Since the creation of time women have always had to submit to the power and authority of men; starting with ancient civilizations such as Egyptian and Greek and up to the Renaissance period women had always come second to men. The powers in government, roles in society, and duties at home during these two time periods have moderately transformed over time but continued to be suppressed by the male dominant figure leading up to and through out the Renaissance period.

Development of Tools Throughout Time Our world today has many different kinds of tools. I realized this when I was walking through The Home Depot a few weeks ago. On one isle are nails, and screws, the next isle there are power drills to go along with power saws and power sanders. Now imagine the world with no tools, no nails or screws. It would be pretty difficult to do most anything. We would have no houses to live in, no cars to travel to work in, and we would have no place of employment…

short, shaved or bearded. Did he look different from everyone else? No one truly knows what the savior looks like because there is nothing in the bible that gives a description of Jesus.

The Roman Christian Art also known as byzantine Art marks the beginning of religious art and the image of Jesus. Which…

Out of the many great and famous leaders of the world, two important men are universal household names. Winston Churchill, through his bravery and calm during World War II, achieved world renowned honor. President George W. Bush’s poor handling of the Middle Eastern wars and conflicts, however, left a bitter taste in the global community’s mouth. Though British Prime Minister The Right Honourable Sir Winston Churchill and President George W. Bush were both wartime leaders with similar upbringings…

Gender inequality is a grave issue throughout the history of time. However, black women have gotten the shorter end of the stick, and Marita Bonner addresses this issue in her essay, “On Being Young – a Woman – and Colored.” Bonner believes that time will heal the disjunction between men and women, and more specifically the ignorance of black women’s presence in society. This essay proves that Bonner’s solution – allow time to heal – is pragmatic and history proves that it worked. Women in the…

When you think about war you think about fighting, allies, and death. But the idea or even meaning of war is not the same as it was 150 years ago. The idea of war has and never will be based solely on skill or intellect. Sure they're not going to give an untrained man a gun but the idea of war is far more perplexed than just that.
