Corporal Punishment is the intentional act of disciplining by inflicting physical pain as retribution for an offense or wrongdoing. The purpose of corporal punishment is to prevent the offense or wrongdoing from happening again by instilling or associating fear with these undesired acts.

Unconscious Desire and Fear: Is an Innate Force of Nature. Euripides uses metamorphism in a way that may have been, somewhat, disparaging to Greek, particularly male, audiences. Although, the play portrays so many of Dionysus godly attributes such as long flowing locks, extreme attractiveness, and the power to drive one mad, Euripides makes no mistake to characterize the human qualities of Dionysus being deliberate, plotting, angry, and vengeful. While all Greek gods seem to have the aforementioned

The bubonic plague, or Black Death, was a deadly disease that swept throughout the Afro-Eurasion landmass. Carried by black rats, the bacillus, Yersinia pestis, wiped out two-thirds of the population in some areas of China, Muslim towns, Southwest Asia, parts of the European population, as well as parts of North Africa.

William Styron depicts slaves almost cheerfully in The Confessions of Nat Turner. He glazes over the hardships they endured and did not depict a slave very well. He wrote “Because of the drought there was nothing to be done in the fields; and so Moore [his owner] gave us five days of absence” (2041).

In this case, those who were deemed inferior were individuals who were non-white, non-Puritan, non-European, a female, and impoverished. By limiting these individuals’ availability of opportunities and resources, these wealthy, Christian, white men created a powerful infrastructure

The Ku Klux Klan's long history of violence grew out of the anger and hatred many white Southerners felt after the Civil War. Blacks, having won the struggle for freedom from slavery, were now faced with a new struggle against widespread racism and the terrorism of the Ku Klux Klan. Despite what many might like to think, the KKK is still active today. The bare facts about the birth of the Ku Klux Klan and its revival half a century later are baffling to most people today. Little more than a year

The indigenous people of California had existed on the lands as hunters-gathers before the arrival of the Spanish who were the first Europeans to reach this part of the Americas. These settlers who began surveying the area since 1530, helped introduce the mission system around 1697 as part of an effort to set up permanent bases for new arrivals and as a bulwark against other European powers. This establishment caused the natives to transition from their original lifestyle into agrarian farmers to

Europeans began infiltrating West Africa in the 1500’s, a time where many various empires thrived. The Portuguese forcibly took young men, women, and children to Cape Verde to work day-by-day on a sugar plantation. The idea of slaves skyrocketed in popularity ever since.
