Throughout the chronology of civilization across our terraqueous globe, there has been one aspect of society which facilitates our stability. That aspect is our adherence to moral ethics and just laws. This developed cultural trait has ensured the progression of society and the safety in developing a complacency to fear or harm. It is law, that protects us from the dangers of ourselves and the malevolence of others. However, the law has never been indefectible or paradisiac. The laws of man often

Being tall, lanky, and uncoordinated (and therefore not particularly good at traditional sports), I was signed up for the Wallingford YMCA Dolphin swim team when I was 10 years old. I certainly wasn’t a Michael Phelps, but I definitely found more success in swimming than baseball, soccer, or basketball, so I stuck with it. During the next few years, I continued to improve my technique in all four strokes, and other intricate parts of swimming including starts (dives), turns, and finishes. I eventually

For the love of Money, People will steal from their brothers, For the love of money, People will rob their own mothers… People who don’t have money Don’t let money change you… -- The O’Jays      After reading "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg," by Mark Twain, the (above) song "For The Love of Money," by the r&b singing group The O’Jays resounded fervently in my head. The song’s ongoing message of the ill affects money can have on a person

Colonial America In 17th Century Colonial America was divided into three regions. The New England colonies which consisted of (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire), the Middle colonies (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware), and the Southern colonies (Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, and the Carolinas). They all had similar goals but also had different ways of achieving them. New England colonies were difficult to farm because of their harsh climate conditions.

Creating Contrasting Colonies The development of the thirteen British colonies of America majorly varied from region to region, but their similarities them to later unite into the superpower the world knows today. Due to lack religious freedom and tolerance in England, Protestant faiths set up self-governing colonies in 1620-1700s in what is later known as as New England. Following the defeat of Spanish Armada and England’s new major naval power status, England charted several royal, proprietary

Come one, come all to the greatest show on earth! Phineas Taylor Barnum is commonly known as the greatest showman. However, his diabolical actions are frequently overlooked. From public humiliation and dehumanization to inhumane treatment of animals to deceptive advertising, Barnum was certainly not the picture of inclusion and amazement that historians paint him to be. Because of P. T. Barnum’s dehumanization of people, mistreatment of animals, and deceptive advertisement, he should not be considered

Zain Alvi Kearny AP Language & Composition 8 September 2017 Synthesis of Culture During colonial times, America was home to multiple cultures despite the considerable differences between one another.

Between 1607 and 1733, Great Britain established thirteen colonies in the New World along the land’s eastern coast. England’s colonies included Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maryland, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Though the colonies were classified as New England, middle or southern colonies, the colonists developed a unifying culture. With this new American culture, the colonists throughout the colonies

During 1607-1753, Colonial America was founded. Starting on 1492, when Christopher Columbus discovered land beyond the England, people were launched into a new life. A group of puritans departed from England to escape the growing stress of the English government. Searching for freedom, in both religion and government, they sailed towards America. Their main goal was not only to start e new life, but also to convert the savages; “Indians.” With this move they experienced many difficulties. Upon starting

“That all sounds a little extreme.” “It’s the furthest thing from extreme. You may have carved out a sweet little community for yourself, but you are an island in a sea of misery - the tide is rising quickly. It’s only a matter of time before you and your estate are consumed by famine, pestilence, and death. We have a small window; I’m thinking maybe three to five years to try and put the genie back in the bottle.” “How?” “We have men and women in place in state capitols across the region who
