The point of view in the scene appears confusing as it appears to show the use of ...

There are those who would justify the enslavement of humans by pointing to the enormous amount of wealth generated through that enslavement and that that enslavement was a sacrifice to which blacks willingly, though unwittingly, took part. If that were a valid assessment of the enslavement of so many for the benefit of so few, then its validity would sit on the testimony of those who were enslaved. However, that testimony, as found in Fredrick Douglas’ Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglas does not support such an outlandish premise. On the contrary, Douglas’ Narrative witnesses the atrocity that ...

Friedrich Nietzsche is one of history’s foremost philosophers and philologists, often called the father of nihilism. This extends to his portrayal of women in his literary works; while he focused primarily on works of dramatic theory rather than writing stories himself, these books are nonetheless the expression of his thoughts on women as a species, particularly as they relate to the overall condition of man of which he was so concerned. Nietzsche’s own personal views on women were hardly positive, as he seems to believe that women were the essence of everything that was unreasonable and distracting to ...

Introduction to antennas

Traditionally, people had problem with communication especially where it involved long distances.

They work through transmitting RF signal that travels on a conductor into an electromagnetic wave in free space. An antenna maintains the same characteristic regardless of whether in use ...

Chopin through her plot and choice of ...
