Before 1935, welfare was not a very widespread or prominent movement, largely due to the lack of an extreme economic depression leading up to 1929. Government involvement in poverty outreach was present, but very minimal. For the most part, the government left churches and volunteer agencies as the primary source of aid to the poor. Congress did contribute to several programs to help those in need, and many states had already generated their own welfare programs, but there were no programs…

In The Republic and certainly in many of his teachings, it was no secret that Socrates held contempt for democracy as a regime. Athens, at the time, was a democracy which meant that many people held power in politics: something that Socrates found great fault in.

They simply had to convince people to vote for them, and after that, they did not require much, if any knowledge about the state, to rule. Although this may…

Many of their fans want to invest in products which their star athletes wear, which is most of the time expensive branded products. Most of the time, children get influenced and ask their…

If you were asked one question, one question that would determine your future, do you know how you would respond? If I were to ask you, what is one thing that you would do for free, and enjoy doing it? What would your reply be, do you know?

The only major scholarship on the artist is a biographical account of her life that was written in 1983 by art historian and leading authority on the Bloomsbury group, Frances Spalding. While the work provides a detailed account of Bell’s life, the reappraisal of her life does little to re-examine the work of the artist and the ways in which it has been marginalized. Consider too, Jan Marsh’s Bloomsbury Women: Distinct Figures…
