The Canadian poet Robert Service remains a paradox. He is the best selling poet of the twentieth century and yet his work has been reviled and criticized by literary critics. His biographer, Mallory, claims that “his poetry has touched the lives of millions of North Americans” (xv).
Because of his enormous success, Service’s life was a real rag-to-riches story. Born on January 16th, 1874 to Scottish parents (his father worked in a bank), he followed his father’s footsteps when he first left school, joining a bank in Glasgow, the family having moved back to Scotland where Service joined them at ...

There exists in the world of sociology some controversy between two theories of thought. The debate is usually over a question like this “Which has more control over an individual’s life agency or structure?”
One side argues that people are confined behind the boundaries of social structures. How a person behaves within the structure is controlled by the boundaries or his perception of the boundaries.

Wild West was fundamentally the American Frontier. Contrary to the popular opinion the Wild West was not truly wild as portrayed in the Hollywood movies. The history of west is laden with conquests, hence it never truly escaped this aspect of human behavior. The portrayal has been such that the hardy settlers were power hungry plunderers, as if they were always on the hunt of resources and means to control the human population (Anderson & Hill, 2004). Despite the exaggeration about the Wild West there are certain elements that have led to the fantasized version of the west. Many famous ...

The story of John Wayne Gacy is a curious one but not entirely unprecedented in the context of some of the world’s most famous serial killers. A well-respected member of the community, practically everyone was shocked when it turned out that he was an incredibly prolific serial killer who was also known to the police for sexually assaulting young boys. It is the contention of this paper that he was so successful precisely because of his double life – by becoming such a well-respected member of the community he created the perfect alibi for his behavior and made himself ...

Women have long been suppressed and prevented to hold higher office or positions since the ancient times. There were suppositions that women are not politically savvy or capable of handling responsibility outside the home, let alone have a voice in society. Some societies even restricted women from becoming educated to suppress their desire to fight for their rights. However, as the years progressed, societies around the globe slowly became divided in how they treat their female constituents. Jamaica, for instance, had been open to women empowerment but they still held certain reservations on allowing to dominate in the political arena. ...

Learning about women mathematicians and inventors is an instance that presents must scepticism due to the Romanisation that only men in the early years have held interest in math or science.

One of these women was the Frenchwoman Sophie Germain. Sophie Germain was born to Ambroise Francois and Marie Germain on April 1, 1776. France, in this period, was filled with political conflicts considering the late 18th century France was ...

I am an African American female born in the fall of 1984. I am the second born of four daughters and consider myself to be somewhat outspoken. Growing up with three sisters meant there were no “boy” toys in my home. We were expected to be family oriented and well-mannered as children, but I expect that would have been the same if I had brothers. I was also never restricted from expressing my opinion. My mother was supportive of her children, allowing us to choose our own career paths and dress how we choose. She never set a particular ...

Muhammad’s name appears only four times in the Qu’ran, and all the thousands of details that are known about his life in Mecca and Medina during the 6th Century were probably passed down as oral traditions before being written down in the Hadiths about 100-200 years after his death. He believed that the Islamic faith was the final and perfect revelation of God. Muhammad claimed to be only a Prophet and Messenger rather than a Messiah or Son of God. Salvation came not from believing in him but from following the moral and spiritual teachings of the Qu’ran ...

In his lifetime his writings caused him to be thrown out of cities and he needed to move to different parts of Europe, spending some time in exile in England. After writing the book Émile he made both Protestant and Catholic leaders angry enough to ban him even when trying to support the church. And his friend Mary Wollstonecraft was very angry with him for how he portrayed women in the book. Maybe Rousseau ...

What if Edmund Burke were alive today? London and Washington D.C. are bound together in so many ways whatever his modern views might be he would be an influence on the politics of both countries. Would he still be the conscience of morality for conservatives? In this essay we will look for insight to his moral and political perspective on the East India Trading Company and the French Revolution.

Mary Whiton Calkins grew up in a male dominated society. This was during the late 1800s and early 1900s when almost every one was a male chauvinist.
