The Puritans in New EnglandInstead of coming to the colonies for the incentives of economy and freedom, the Puritans came to create a purer Christian society based on a strict code of morals and emphasis on the community and family. New England was not, at first, a land of economic opportunity but a place to put firm roots down for a truer Christian Society. Although the Church did lose a significant amount of power by mid-century, it remained a significant foundation and guiding force in New England. John Winthrop talks about how we must stay tightly knit and stay as one in his city on a hill speech. While a map shows a town that looks as though someone literally knit their houses to be almost the same size. Although some family farms were slightly different sizes, the houses were similar in size. The family side of Puritan New England was perfect, it gave everyone equal housing and a piece of land. Without any of this, the North would not have prospered as well as it had. The formation of New England towns were built on this. It also shows a school house in the tow |

The New Colossus and Dirty BlvdThe lyrical texts The New Colossus and Dirty Blvd, written by Emma Lazarus in 1883 and Lou Reed in 1988 respectively, focus on the notion of the American Dream. The New Colossus emphasizes the great difference between the Colossus of Rhodes and the Statue of Liberty, where the poem is engraved on a plate. Unlike the Colossus of Rhodes with his conquering limbs (l. 1) in accordance with his myth, the Statue of Liberty, holding up a torch (l. 4) for the world to see, being the Mother of Exiles (l. 6) and having mild eyes (l. 7), is positively attributed. It supposedly welcomes immigrants from all over the world. The poems second stanza states that people having suffered hardship in th |

Brutality of War - All Quiet on The Western FrontAll Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque is a suspense filled War novel that describes in detail the horrors of World War I in Germany. The commonly misconstrued thoughts about the war are quickly reversed by instances depicted to perfection, and the reader feels a sense of fear for the soldiers for the majority of the novel. The theme that Remarque portrays is one of the devastating horrors the war brings to young men who do not deserve it. He brings to life the harsh trench-warfare scene and many times states that no man should ever have to go through that. Remarque also ties in many smaller sub topics within the theme to display other characteristics not usually noticed by people not involved directly in the War. Ideas like comradeship and the feeling of indifference are greatly used to show a more accurate depiction of what life as a soldier was really like during this awful time. Although this book is not a biography, or necessarily based on a true story, the eve |

World on a Search for JusticeIn this essay, I will be discussing the concept of justice and how the weekly online posts have helped me build my understanding of ideas that surround this topic. I will include my own posts that I have added into the weekly forums and expand on it further discussing how the students' different view points have shaped my opinions and have given me different perspectives. This essay will then conclude to answer the topic question, "When people say they want justice, what do they mean? " What is Justice? This may seem like a straightforward question to answer, but in modern-day society it is not. Justice is an arbitrary value, and everyone's own sense of justice would have to be satisfied for universal justice to be achieved. Although ˜justice' has a vast list of meanings, it can somewhat be defined. The traditional answer is suum cuique, which is a Latin phrase meaning "to each his own " or "to each he deserves "(Crispin 2010, p.23). Justice is described as fairness, where all |

Generation Y and Social Media AddictionThe internet has been an indescribable power to influence, connect, and mobilize current population with technological advances. In today's society, the primary focus is on the internet when it comes to maintaining peer-to-peer connections. Social media is a web-based technology that helps enhance interactive conversations.

Betrayal in Kite Runner and The CrucibleBetrayal, a word so ugly in its meaning and so common in its practice. The word belittles the importance of the word trust, thereby causing strong bonds between people to be broken and the kind hearts of many to be replaced by hatred. Betrayal is seen daily as good friends become foes, countries turn against each other and families are torn apart. We begin to comprehend the hurt that comes with betrayal when we think of the suffering of a dedicated and faithful wife betrayed by her husband or a young child who is betrayed by the parents. Betrayal has been the most common thing in any human relationship, from lying to cheating, distrust and keeping of secrets. In the two novels, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and The Crucible by Arthur Miller, betrayal can be seen as the base of the stories as characters like Abigail Williams, John Proctor, Baba and Amir destroy the trust they have with their family and friends. Through their lies and actions, Abigail ruins her relationship with Tit |

Obligate Mutualism - Figs, Wasps and their ParasitesAbstract A mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which each organism benefits. The mutualism between the pollinating fig wasp, Pleistodontes imperialis and the fig tree, ficus rubiginosa is a form of an obligate mutualism where one cannot simply survive without the other. Here we report that seed set in the fig tree Pleistodontes imperialis is affected by parasatoid wasp numbers and that the obligate mutualism is kept intact by the parasatoid wasps. In the study we collected fig fruits from two locations in the New England area of NSW and counted the number of seeds, pollinating wasps, non-pollinating fig wasps, male and female flowers in the fruits from two locations and compared the results. The results showed that where there was a greater presence of parasatoid (non- pollinating fig wasps) the seed count present in the fruit was higher, and concluded that parasatoid wasps are beneficial to the obligate mutualism by stopping the pollinating wasp species Pleistodontes imperialis o |

Contemporary Racial FramingPART I: In this week's lectures Dr. Jendian talked about Contemporary Racial Framing, stereotypes and prejudices. In the first two centuries of our Nation whites considered African decent people as foreign, uncivilized, and unchristian. Now, in modern day blacks are framed as being dangerous or violent. Anti-black stereotyping aids to keep segregation between races in America because the more segregated races are the more people are shrinking their bubble and stereotypes have a bigger influence on people. Residential segregation all though it may be illegal is still a problem in America. When people get to know someone from other races they realize that they are not all the same and some stereotypes may fall off. On Racist America, racial prejudice was defined as "antipathy toward a racial other based on a faulty generalization, such prejudice can be directed toward a group as a whole, or toward an individual as a member of that group. " (Feagin, pg. 102) Also, Jendian talked about how the farther you are away from the problem the easier it is to moralize your stand on the issue, such as a white person having no sympathy for a black person because they have no i |

That was until they found a place that contained judgment and hardships along with happiness, and corruption and cruelty along with the work industry.

When Giving a Speech, Let Your Body SpeakDid you know that when presenting a speech, the verbal component is only seven percent, the vocal component is 38 percent and the visual component is a whopping 55 percent! (Albert Mehrabian). So basically, when giving a speech eye contact means everything. During your speech if you are not making efficient eye contact, your audience tends to drift off or get bored because eye contact is how you connect with your audience and feed to them what your message is about. Most people like myself, have been told that you should look over top of the heads of your audience which is wrong! Even if you think that the audience can't tell the difference believe me they can. It's just like talking one on one with a person, you usually look them in the eye, and you can most definitely |

Descriptive/Narrative Essay - My Very Busy LifeThe alarm clock is ringing in my ears, so I put the pillow over my head and wish for five more minutes of sleep. I start to doze off despite the buzzing, but then the baby cries. It's time to get out of bed. Even the sun is struggling to get over the horizon as I turn off the alarm, cursing it in my mind. I would give anything to go back to bed. My son needs to go to daycare and I need to go to work. Will I find time to do my studies today? Juggling a family, work, and school is not an easy task, but somehow I get through the day accomplishing my goals-mostly. I am 28 years old, happily married, with a busy family life. I only have one child, our son, but he is 10 months old and still requires a lot of attention. I am a full-time working mom-your typical 8 to 5 job-and between all of this, it's hard to focus on my school work or find the time to study. I have been going to school online for a couple of years now and last year when I found out I was pregnant, things heated up. I worked |

The Strenuous Life by Theodore RooseveltA man by the name of Fred Harloff (1910-2004), was a small, but perfect example of someone who epitomized the idea of the Strenuous Life. Growing up in Evanston, Illinois, he was a competitive baseball player, sharing a home with six sisters and two brothers. Similar to Theodore Roosevelt, Harloff lived through extreme hardships as a young individual and strived to exceed the expectations of society in his time. Through hard work and motivation, which stemmed from experiencing the effects of the Great Depression, he managed to open and run a grocery store and an IGA market, which allowed him to support his wife and children. This man exemplified the importance of the Strenuous Life's emergence from the Victorian Era in America. The Strenuous Life was a period of transformation in the country's thinking and social expectations. Americans converted from a bureaucratic and neurasthenic form of society to a self-confident, motivated, and introspective culture. The realization that the Am |

Learning to Love to ReadWhen I was growing up in Miami, Florida I never developed an appreciation for reading. Living in a place where people usually vacation there was always some outdoor adventure calling your name. Rarely, would I ever find myself sitting inside for something else other then meals. Biking, boating, fishing, and playing pick up sports where just a few of activities that I would find myself regularly participating in. So, as a naive child, I never knew what I was missing out on. I was convinced that something that couldn't get my heart pounding was tedious and boring. However, I would soon discover that reading would have it's own way to receive my attention. I was boarding the Southwest airlines plane to New Orleans leaving from Baltimore and I was dreading the situation. Like always, I was about to board a seemingly never-ending flight without any form of entertainment. Unable to sleep, I would sit there starring at the seat in front of me for the entire flight. Even though I was on my wa |

Rape - Guilty Until Proven InnocentWhat is rape? The definition of this word is shrouded in ambiguity, there is no single meaning for it. The most widely accepted definition is forced sexual intercourse, including vaginal, anal, or oral penetration. Penetration may be by body or foreign object. It may also be said that anytime during intercourse a female says no, and the male continues anyway that is also rape. The definition may even be stretched to consider a weak "yes " as rape. Hypothetically speaking, if a female says no to sexual intercourse, then five hours later after a few shots of tequila seduces the same gentlemen into having sex with her, the following day she accuses this individual of rape claiming he should have respected her earlier statement, is she right? Where do we draw the line? If you were drunk behind the wheel of a car and killed innocent civilians you would be guilty of murder, why should it be different with whom you sleep with? Everyone should be responsible for what they do in their drunken s |

From religion, to architecture, and art have been handed down generation to generation and improved along the way.
