‘Romeo and Juliet’ is an Elizabethan tragedy, telling the story of ‘two star-crossed lovers who take their life’ due to a family feud as old as time. Over the course of the three-act play, Romeo, the tragic hero, develops from being impulsive and reckless to a more mature individual, beginning to understand the real notion of love. Through this, Shakespeare enlightens the audience about the difference between unrequited, immature love and true love and ultimately encourages them to pity the lovers

to describe this period because of Immanuel Kant’s essay,” Answering the Question: What is Enlightenment?” Kant states that,” Enlightenment is the human being’s emergence from his self incurred minority” (Kant). In other words, it is one’s way of surfacing by using one’s own mind. He believed that people’s laziness was to blame for them being left in the dark. It is easy to pay someone to think for them than to use their own minds. In order to be enlightened, he states that people must free themselves

Serious violations were committed at The Boeing Company by former top Air Force procurement official Darleen Druyun who admitted to helping The Boeing Company obtain a $23 billion tanker refueling contract in exchange for an executive job at the company. While verbally accepting a position with Lockheed Darlene Druyun did not disclose her job negotiations with a Mike Sears a Chief

​Throughout history, fashion has been the gateway for self-expression. With fashion, people have been able to highlight their culture, social class, and emotion. Through the passing of time alternative materials have surfaced to take the place of killing animals for fashion purposes. While animal rights groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Animal Liberation argue against the killing of animals for fashion, opposing views point to the personal, physical, and economic

There are differences in attitudes towards the use of force by police. There are some groups that support police and there use of force. There are also groups that find the use of force by police excessive and biased.

They found that ones opinions of race are related with their opinions of police use of force. Racial resentment as measured by two criteria developed by the

national media outlets reported Jerry Sandusky was a major part of an ongoing, three-year sexual abuse investigation (Klein & Cooper, 2016). The weeks following increasingly became harder to read news stories as more and more cryptic details began surfacing. Young children are so innocent and pure, what causes adults to rob them of their innocence? Reasons can vary from the thrill of molesting children, to feeling power and dominance over the child; furthermore, combining reasons like these to the childhood

Additionally, once the zeolite molecular sieve columns are saturated with radium, the resulting solid radioactive waste must be disposed of because the radium binds too tightly to the zeolite and cannot be removed for future use in energy or heat production. Thus, this method still produces radioactive waste, which has reached a total of one million tons in just one year.17 Because the solid waste produced exceeds radioactive material soil application and landfill limits, this waste must be disposed

Dry rivers do flow ... so does intimacy. You are finally doing this long hike in nature, something you have contemplated for quite some time. The clearly marked trails lead you over mountainous terrains with a multitude of valleys, peaks and cliffs. You find yourself crossing another dry riverbed, which is filled with enormous boulders, massive rocks and a collection of stones, all in the process of being rounded during millions of years of torrents of water rushing downhill.

Only twenty years ago, domestic violence was seen as a private family matter rather than of public community concern.

The social issue up until this stage had little to none empirical

In this TED talk, biologist and geneticist, Jennifer Douda, presents a way to edit our DNA with the use of CRISPR technology. This technology allows scientists to change the DNA within our cells that could ultimately allow scientists to cure various genetic disease such as sickle cell anemia, Huntington’s disease and cystic fibrosis etc. The way this technology works is that the Cas9 protein seeks foreign DNA, and precisely cuts that DNA out and eventually degrades it. After the mutated DNA is removed
