History

Anywhere you go today you will find hundreds of beautiful and delicious pastries. In particular, we have become so used to differing types of bread, mouthwatering baked goods, and specifically cakes that from time to time we may ask a baker or a host exactly how they revolved. I explored the development of breads and other baked goods to learn about their evolution.
For example, around 2600 BC Egyptians were already learning how to bake and by 2500 BC they were baking breads, cakes, and pie crusts made with yeast. Much later, in 450 to 385 BCE torts and pies were really popular, and the first Greek doughnut made from flour, and honey was created.7
In 300 BC Romans started exploring the baking field, and the baking profession was known

    Before writing this paper I knew what a discourse community was on the exterior but I never really looked into the definition of a discourse community. After reading the articles and having in class discussions about discourse communities I have a better understanding of what they are and how they impact our daily lives. A discourse community is a group of people who share a set of discourse, understood as basic values and assumptions, and ways of communicating about those goals. For discourse community topic I was considering writing about greek life because I for one am a member of a fraternity and would want to represent the aspect of communal gathering. People that are Greek all have things in common; whether it be just that we are part of a sister/brotherhood or deeper things…

    Breaking Stereotypes One Step At a Time Greek life contributes a lot to the average college community. Whether it being, giving student’s connections, philanthropy, or providing a fun atmosphere for several stressed college students. The affect it has on the students individually is huge too.

    Lehigh faces a conformity problem as I imagine most universities do. People try so hard to fit in that they do not mind if they lose their identities in the process. Greek life is possibly the biggest source of this problem. It offers many beneficial aspects to society, while also offering detrimental experiences to students. Throughout all the schools that I visited and the stories that I have heard, there is no university with a more dominating Greek life presence than Lehigh.…

    Greek life on college campuses is an effective way to ensure that students get the most out of college, and all that it has to offer. Greek organizations actively challenge students to be a well educated, and active part of the surrounding community. However, some view fraternities and sororities on college campuses in more of a negative light due to stereotypes and generalizations, influenced by the media. Many of these stereotypes are untrue, and often over exaggerated. Greek life has many advantages to offer, and outweigh many of the misguided arguments of the opposition.…

    Greek Colonization Settlements or trading outposts were the two types of colonies traditionally founded by the city-states of the Ancient Greeks (Stein, 2005:12). Trade was the primary reason for the Greek colonial expansion into Illyria. Illyrian exports included wool, slaves, bitumen, metal ores, hides, stock, mercenaries, timber, and cereal grains. Imports from the Greeks consisted of ornaments for clothing, wine, olive oil, weapons, armour, vessels, and utensils (Hammond, 1992; Wilkes, 1992).

    When we first were signing up to choose our topics, I chose baking because I like to simply bake. I thought that there could be some chemistry involved due to heat in the oven changing food from liquid to solid. I was so wrong. Even though the oven and heat portion plays a major factor, a good portion of the real chemistry lies in the ingredients we use to make such delicious dessert treats and our different breads. From the ten different sources I looked up previously, for the Annotated Bibliography portion, I found that each of the websites say roughly the same thing.…
