1. One element that I have learned from the Greek Drama Oedipus the King is the concept of predestination. Throughout the play, this idea that a person’s destiny is already predetermined for them was clearly emphasized. Even when Oedipus tried to run away from his destiny, by the end of the play he fulfilled the foretold prophecy. This way of thinking made me draw a conclusion about how the culture of the Greeks were. Based off the play, I drew the conclusion that the Greeks highly revered their

Abstract: - This is an article on Islamic Mathematics. Islamic mathematics is dated back to the 8th and 13th centuries CE. The mathematics in the Middle East is an expansion of what great Greek philosophers had already found and studied. Much of what the Middle Eastern mathematicians discovered helped influence European mathematics. In fact, a lot of what high school math teachers teach our current generations is Algebra, which was discovered by an Islamic Mathematician. Key-Words: - Al-Khwarizmi

Mana was only able to remain isolated because of its access to vast quantities of natural resources, which allowed it to remain self-sufficient. In 1828, shortly after her arrival in Mana, Javouhey wrote to her sister, Marie-Joseph Javouhey, “je ne m’attendais pas à trouver tant de ressources pour le bien.” Later, Javouhey marveled, “la position de Mana [était] admirable. Le sol [était], par expérience, le meilleur peut-être de la Guyane; les terres basses [étaient] d 'une fertilité rare.” The

Anna Safavi Algebra and algorithm are two of the most used branches of mathematics. They are used in everyday life, algebra is used in financial planning, physical health and cooking, and algorithms are used in driving and finding the shortest path, scheduling and in computer programming. The history of algebra dates back to 1800 BC, in countries such as India, China, Greece, Persia and England. With the understanding that algebra and algorithms have a huge impact on our lives today, we will take

The colonists sold excess produce; in 1839, Javohey wrote that the colony hired two ships per month for their goods which had earned them more than 100,000 francs. Mana’s natural resources also benefited the Sœurs de Saint-Joseph de Cluny’s other colonial missions, as Javouhey frequently sent her sisters wood and other resources from Mana. Javouhey welcomed the colony’s extreme isolation because it granted her the freedom to do almost anything that desired. Javouhey believed that isolation allowed

His father didn’t really seem to care for his education and his future. He told me that “Hindi sila naging handa para sa future namin. Parang iniisip lang nila is masaya lang kasi marami.(They weren’t ready for our future. It’s like they thought that it was happy because we were many)”. His mother, on the other hand, did her best to at least let him have a secondary education

Zitkala-Ša was a woman, who along with hundreds of thousands of others, was stripped of her true identity to become a person she knew she could never truly be. As Zitkala-Ša grew up she was recruited into a missionary school that was designed to remove the remnants of Native American culture and replace them with white culture. One of the problems of this was that it made Zitkala-Ša estranged from every culture, belief, and person that was thrown on her. This problem, that I saw reflected time and

American people into establishing American customs went down in history during the 1700s. Famous author Zitkala-Sa, tells her brave experience of Americanization as a child through a series of stories in “Impressions of an Indian Childhood.” Zitkala-Sa, described her journey into an American missionary where they cleansed her of her identity. In “Impressions of an Indian Childhood,” Zitkala-Sa uses imagery in order to convey the cruel nature of early American cultural transformation among Indian

The story of Zitkala-Sa, a Native Amerucan taken into an missionary boarding school, is captivating. Zitkala-Sa is at first very excited to see the “Land of Red Apples, but she soon realizes that the white man’s world is much different than her own and she is fearful. “under a sky of rosy apples we dreamt of roaming as freely and happily…we had anticipated much pleasure from a ride on the iron horse, but the throngs of staring palefaces disturbed and troubled us.” When she arrives at the boarding
