Qualified women are entitled to be in the frontlines too.

Walking into this church I noticed the large sanctuary infused with people. Some people were standing in the parking lot talking. Others such as the parking attendants were watching and monitoring the traffic as people hurried to make their way into the building where praise and worship was in progress. I visited an evangelical non-denominational church, predominantly African American, where the energy and excitement was nothing like I had ever experienced growing up in the Catholic Church. People smiled, prayed, and danced and shouted before and at the start of the service. Everything was neatly and nicely decorated: folding ...

The Crusades are the series of the religious military campaigns in the XI-XV centuries from Western Europe against the Muslims and not only.

In an effort to create more perfect societies, people have historically relied on conformity and rebellion as tools of human progress. Humans have for centuries been pre-occupied with questions on how to create the best society. The ultimate goal is utopia, a world that grants everybody freedom and happiness.

Le Guin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” and Ralph Ellison’s “Battle Royal”. ...

Social media needs to be policed, to maintain peace and order. However, not to silence the freedom of expression, there are a small minority of people who see social media as a platform for either bulling other users or coordinating antisocial acts.

Edgar Allan Poe’s renowned short story, entitled “The Fall of the House of Usher,” is a story with typical characteristics of the Gothic genre, depicting an ancient, crumbling mansion, whose inhabitants haunt its hallways and rooms, and where the protagonist enters the scene, in an effort to save the damsel in distress, Madeline, from an early entombment done by her ill brother.

Differences between efficient and group-level explanations for war

The efficient explanation for war is centered and derived from the constitution as well as from the legal structures within an entity. This means that wars are constitutionally appropriate if the lives of the citizens are threatened by an outside entity. This means that the decision to engage in war is independent on social or other cultural background (Danziger 35). The group-level decision is centered on the idea of dominance. Countries decide to engage in war for reasons that are defined buy cultural and social differences. Countries are therefore in a rush to enter into war with other countries, not ...
