According to philosopher Isaiah Berlin, writers can be divided into two categories, those who know about many things, and those who decide to fixate on a single subject. Gordon S. Wood says he belongs to the second kind as his ...

In Louis Menand’s “Live and Learn: Why We Have College,” the author discussed the utility of a college education, and the different functions and expectations colleges have of its students. While there is not a lot of quantitative evidence used, it is tangential to his overall argument, which was emotional and pluralistic in nature. In essence, Menand believed there are two equally valid uses for education, encapsulated in two theories: one in which college is a gateway to a future career and financial rewards, and one where college is meant to be an avenue for learning and bettering oneself as a learner and ...

One of the most common sports-related knee injuries is medial collateral ligament (MCL), which occurs in almost every contact sport, such as football, hockey, wrestling, and martial arts.

Section One: Japan was a large country and America could have chosen many places to bomb. However, according to the author, Hiroshima made more sense than others. It was a highly strategic economic and military base and it “commanded the defense for all of southern Japan.” (HERSEY, p. 12) It seems like Tokyo would make more sense but Tokyo was more a symbolic place for politicians and not home to the bustling industrial and military bases that Hiroshima was. Furthermore, it was a place where many munitions were made that Japan would have used in places like Tokyo. It would also be easier ...

The role of the feminist theologian remains a complicated one, even as feminism has made so many advances in the other disciplines. One factor making this especially complicated is the variety in responses to women in the various wings of religion. Even now, a woman in the Sudan stands under a death sentence that has only been delayed, to this point, because she needs to nurse her newborn child. Her crime? Marrying a Christian from another country. Even though she was raised by a Christian mother, she is considered the property of Islam on the basis of their theological doctrines.

Even though his rule contains firm grounds in terms of the several drives such as date of birth and family background that paves ways for attaining success, Gladwell openly dodges the value of determination and hard work. His theory for achieving success has some cogent, but he intentionally takes out the most important part of the person’s endeavor within his analyses. The key to success lies in the individual’s power to persist through setbacks and difficulties, but his ...
