The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society.

There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior.

I would like to start with the words Megan Chao (1998): “For many centuries, discovering the fountain of youth has been just a dream for humans. Aging is an inevitable process in human life, the result of a highly variable biological cycle. (p.1) Nevertheless aging people continue living full of life, continue working and changing conditions of their lives to the better side. Czaja and Moen (2004) predicted “by 2010 the number of workers age 55+ will be about 26 million, a 46 percent increase since 2000, and by 2025 this number will increase to approximately 33 million.”( ...

Success and achievement of the dreams and goals do not tend to come by accident, but rather as a result of great efforts and strong determination. The starting point to self-realization and personal fulfillment is by no means self-awareness, understanding of personal values, strength, and weaknesses, as well as identifying one's passions and interests in a certain professional field, on the basis of which certain goals are defined and set. Thereby considering one's life as a project and reflecting on some core issues in self-management is by far essential activity for anyone who strives to advance in one's life ...

The Corn Laws were laws passed by the British Parliament in 1815 to keep the prices of grain high so that British grain farmers would be favored in the market.

The Great War was the bloodiest war in world history up to that point. Many historians claim that the buildup to the war was caused my militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism (MAIN). This might be the composite indicator, but special importance should be placed on the Dual-Alliance between Austria-Hungary and the German Empire.

The distrust between East and West may be as old as the confluence of the two parts of the world themselves. After all, it was during his attempt to conquer India that Alexander the Great fell ill with the fever that was the only thing that kept him from world conquest (Biography.com Editors). The ongoing war between the feverishly fervent establishment of Islam and the coolly complacent secular-Christian West is only becoming more and more entrenched by the news cycle, as the West seems to have forgotten that it’s only been a few centuries since its leaders were ...

The Articles of Confederation became the first official constitution of the USA. The document functioned from the 1781 to 1789 when the existing Constitution was ratified.

Insrtuctor’s Name

It is truth universally acknowledged that the theme of the human’s choice has always been popular with the poets and writers. It is not surprising that Robert Frost, an iconic American poet, addresses it in his most famous and most quoted poem, The Road not Taken (“The Norton Anthology of Poetry” 1232-1233). In spite of the widely spread opinion that the poem raises the problem of “being an individual” or “taking a different road from the masses” (Fagan 293), I strongly believe that the poet’s major intention is to emphasize that no matter what choice we make ...
