At that time, the trade is proven to be prosperous and has a high potential to increase the economy of a country. Because of this, many companies had set up monopoly of the drugs. However, the dealers are being hindered to gain huge amount of profit by the limitations imposed on drug trade. This is to retain the real purpose of the trade, and that is to use the drugs to treat the people’s illnesses. Unfortunately, ...

Myths are different from stories and legends, in that they express crucial ideas which characterize the belief system of the culture which created it, without drawing however from actual events , like legends do, and without being considered entirely fictional either, as fairytales are. The myth has been defined differently by various authors, depending on their intention and approaches. One researcher explains myth as “a traditional story that is thought of by a specific community to be of a fundamental importance and, moreover, is considered - perhaps in contrast to the common valuation categories - to be a “true‟ one” ( ...

For instance, the enslaved Africans were forced to work in the vast South Carolina plantations (Lockley, 1). The grips of slavery strengthened throughout the colonization era and the humanity of the enslaved people were too dishonored, to an extent as to be considered a property to be owned and sold.

Chapter 5: Morality and Religion

Religion is known to be one of the principles that motivate people to behave in moral ways. However, this type of motivation is considered problematic at times. The idea of eternal punishment normally motivates people to behave in particular ways and manner. This is in a bid to avoid or earn certain consequences for the actions committed. This is considered problematic since a change in the nature of repercussions would imply a change in the moral compass, which means that people are not acting morally for the purpose of being moral but to evade punishment (Shaffer-Landau 13). On the ...

The differences in societal and cultural expectations between men and women are often vast and complicated, and change greatly over time. Literature is a fantastic avenue by which to explore these issues, and the effects they have on women in particular (as women have historically enjoyed fewer rights and agency than men).

Jesus Christ is, regardless of what one believes about his divinity, undoubtedly one of the most important historical figures in human history. His legacy today is indicated by the 34,000 different denominations and sects of Christianity comprising 2.4 billion Christians—a full third of the world’s population (Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance, n.p.). But in order to fully appreciate what it means to follow Jesus, one has to look at the world in which he preached, and the state of his following by the end of the first millennium.

1) Explain three approaches within psychology: The biological approach to psychology attempts to understand mental processes in relation to the physical factors that make up the human body. Physiological, chemical, and genetic information can help to establish a better understanding of how the biological makeup of an individual has an effect on their cognition. Surgery, electrical stimulation, and neuroimaging grant biological psychologists the ability to analyze these processes on a more fundamental level. This approach to psychology is much more concerned with the impact that nature has on the human mind than nurture (Aos, 2013: 119). Behavioral approaches to ...

What role did Christianity play in Black communities during the colonial era to 1829?

Introduction Christianity played major roles in Black communities during the colonial era to1829. The black in the United States had been degraded into a miserable life of slavery. This degradation put them under very cruel conditions unlike their white counterparts. Thus, Christianity played a major role in the black communities at this time. Since most African slaves came from different regions in the continent, they lacked a common culture on which to coalesce. Their home religions and cultures had initially respected deities from where they came. Thus, Christianity acted as a representation of their ancient African traditions. The Africans ...

The Age of Enlightenment was an era of American history in which the rise of scientific inquiry and the rise of empirical knowledge was leading many Christians, including Puritans, to leave the faith (Smith 446). In response, Jonathan Edwards delivered the sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” in 1741, in which the author attempted to convince Puritans not to stray from their belief in Christ despite the Enlightenment-era secularism that was present during that time. However, in many more important ways, Edwards’ own perspective on God in this sermon solidified the Age of Enlightenment’s assertion ...

The world never saw a rainbow until long after most of the Gods on Olympus and the heroes of the land were tales told by grandmothers to the eager faces of their grandbabies looking through sparkling eyes looking at the old but still beautiful face of Chloe. Her strong but soft voice filled the quiet room aglow with the golden and orange light from the warm crackling fire at the hearth in the main room of the small but clean and welcoming house on the hill along the cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea. Chloe loved telling these old tales ...

The patience exhibited by these females in the text for waiting for the light also implies that for humanity to achieve happiness and realize the aim of life they have to be patient.

Locke wrote his concepts of the self in a response to Descartes and used similar terminology and addressed many of the same issues. Although there are several disagreements in their work, both can be considered analogous in many ways. One distinct difference between the authorships, is the motivation of Locke in penning An Essay concerning Human Understanding. Both a direct motivation, and the ironically innate thesis of Locke’s work on identity, was to make an argument about the idea of moral culpability. The Renaissance was dwindling and a new era of thinkers in Europe were emerging, and with ...

Abstract Global warming is no doubt the the greatest and most far reaching societal and professional long term threat to every end of human livelihood. Agriculture is quickly growing into one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gases. And therefore, global warming. The recent development of industrial farming has exasperated the amount of methane and nitrous oxide gases being released into the atmosphere. This has been done under the pressure of many different stimuli, including government lobbyists and stimuli, and companies like Monsanto. Indifference and lack of public education has ensured that this remains a problem for the immediate ...

The story of mankind is created every day, but it is told through history. It is only when he looks back, that he realizes how far he has come. History has been instrumental in shaping the present and most likely the future of humanity. One of the greatest flaws associated with history is its inaccuracy. The inaccuracy is not, however, because of lack of information but because of the prejudice and perspectives that are captured by most historians (Woolford, Andrew, Jeff, and Alexander 43). Information is abundant; the only problem is the indifference that people show to the available ...

Question 1: Hobbes Leviathan

The creation of a commonwealth without a leader provided an uncharted political region for England. There were no regulations to govern the people. The monarchy came along after the 17th century after the insights of Thomas Hobbes. Later on, the parliament prescribed an executive form of leadership contributing towards a fluid political setup with corruption and factional fighting. Many individuals doubted the advantages of an unregulated democracy. Thomas Hobbes reflected on the political turmoil and wrote the Leviathan to contemplate on the fear and insecurity in England that led to the civil conflict.

As it stands, the many governments, like the United States, refuses to agree upon whether global warming even exists.

Science fiction, regardless of its medium, is often thought to be a means of projecting our ideas of the future – what it could be, what it might become, how it should be, and so on. This is often demonstrated in the utopian and dystopian genres of SF, in which future societies, either good or bad, are showcased in order to explore sociological and philosophical ideas about humanity and society. As Jameson notes, this kind of future projection and prediction can be complicated to express, as semiotics and symbolism grants us the ability to investigate those ideas in more abstract ...

The technological progress of the last several decades never ceases to amaze. There are many recent inventions that have made people's lives more comfortable and joyful.

One of the most worrying matters in terms ...

Fear is a relative term, at least from the human perspective. This suggests that humanity has experienced its own sets of fears, depending on the prevailing dangers of a particular physical environment and epoch. In this regard, it has always been common knowledge that survival is an integral part of every species, including the Homo sapiens, and that compromising the sense of safety of animals and humans is most likely to instigate a reaction of fear. As such, it can also be said that fear is a beneficial aspect of existence, given that it triggers reactions of alertness, fighting ...

Despite having the same overall nature, religions are distinguished based on their respective principles, practices, rituals and beliefs.

Arts and Humanities Majors are important, and many students want to pursue them, but the fact is they are offered everywhere. The audience’s conjecture is removing them from this university means no student can have them ever, and the argument negates that assumption. Moreover, the stasis ...

The search for a sense of self is one of the most important quests in the history of Western philosophy. Notably, it has been the main preoccupation of philosophers in the past few centuries. Before, people accepted people to have a certain nature, due to them being creatures made by and for God. They were all more or less alike, acknowledging a particular human nature given by this deity. Nevertheless, with the decline of the power of the Catholic Church and its consequences, along with the end of philosophy that G. W. F. Hegel heralded, the systems of thought ...
