topic: how the inevitability of death affects the character.

My topic is about the inevitability of death and how it affects the character. I chose this topic because i assumed that it would be present present through the whole book. The setting is during world war II. Men were drafted into the war instead of choosing to enlist. this fact alone lets me know that most of the men that are apart of this war are not their because of patriotism but by force and are not ready for the hardships that are in war. This is the same time civil rights was a problem and that will show throughout the way people will treat minorities. many soldiers are inexperienced and not ready for war like in his attempts to avoid death in world war one yossarian fakes

    Today, my topic is about the backgrounds of indentured servants, and slavery. I will be answering how they are similar, different, how they originated, and who was affected during this period. This takes place during the 1600’s through the 1800’s. I will first explain how they are similar. The first reason they are similar, is because in 1619, when the first Africans arrived in Virginia, they were treated equally as an indentured servant.…

    My topic is over The Oregon Trail, it was a 2,200-mile east-west trail that served as a critical transportation route for emigrants traveling from Missouri to Oregon and other points west during the mid-1800s. Travelers were inspired by dreams of gold and rich farmlands, but they were also motivated by difficult economic times in the east and the diseases like yellow fever and malaria that were decimating the Midwest around 1836. The Oregon Trail began in St. Louis, Missouri, in early spring to begin the four- to six-month trek. This would be the last big city most would visit. Settlers loaded wagons and supplies onto steamships to travel 200 miles upstream on the Missouri River, departing when the river began heading north.…

    My topic is the Cambodian Genocide. It all started with the Khmer Rouge party leader Pol Pot who tried to make Cambodia an agrarian society. I found this topic interesting because the Cambodians were fighting against the French for their independence and the Khmer Rouge came and the Cambodians thought they were being helped out by the Khmer Rouge. In fact, the Khmer Rouge’s only goal was to defeat the French so they could take over. I found this interesting because how does it feel to know you’re being saved, then in the blink of an eye you’re in a worse situation.…

    African-American not only faced injustices in everyday society but also in the military. During the commencement of World War I, a large portion of the African-American community saw the war as a chance to demonstrate their patriotism and to take their place as equal citizen in the United States (Williams OL). Over a million African-Americans responded to the draft calls they received and an estimate of 370,000 were inducted into the army to fight during World War I, the war that would make the world safe for democracy (Williams OL). Even though the African-Americans were risking their lives to fight the war, their ultimate goal was to secure a democracy in the US in which African-Americans and whites were treated equally. However, racial tensions…

    Although all young men were subject to the draft, most college students received deferments. The army was mostly composed of working-class whites and poor racial minorities. Blacks complained of having disproportionately higher casualty rates than white soldiers. And the military was not immune from domestic social and cultural changes. More and more soldiers wore peace and Black Power symbols, used drugs, refused orders, deserted, and assaulted and killed unpopular officers.…

    My final paper’s topic is about the fracture of the Civil Rights Movement. This has helped shape the development of the United States because when civil rights were first past they did not gave people their total freedom and rights. The African Americans still did not have the right to vote, go to public places, or have all the rights that whites were allowed. They were able to protest, sit-ins, speeches, songs, etc. to obtain equal rights. With new Acts and laws in place Americans were able to gain more equal rights.…

    In “Why Immortality Is Not So Bad,” Fisher argues that immortality need not to be as bad as William says it would be and is inadequate. He argues that if an immortal life would be characterized by different experiences, there is no reason one to become bored with life. Although william argues that immortality would be as bad, he uses an example to prove it of a woman named EM who is immortal, for drinking a certain potion, and gets bored with life. In the end, she refuses to continue drinking it, because life has become a dull a state of boredom, indifference, and coldness. Williams claims that any kind of eternal life would end up being like this at the in the end,which is boring, meaningless, and undesirable.…

    Unavoidable Fate Great tales live forever; they continue to be passed down from generation to generation. These tales have the ability to take a person to another place, different era, and bring powerful feelings to the reader. When looking at two great tales, “The Tale of Sohrab” from the Shahnameh, and Oedipus Tyrannus, fate is a theme that can be found between the two. The main characters in these two tales are very powerful individuals, Knight Rostam from Shahnameh, and King Oedipus from the Oedipus Tryannus. For both Rostam, and Oedipus their power, and stature meant nothing when it came to their fate, that could not be altered regardless of how they tried to change their circumstances.…

    When you think about health care overall there are lots of positive characteristics may come to mind. Especially with end-of-life care one would be inclined to think that spirituality would be something that would go hand in hand. Entertainment options such as television and movies tend to show us this view, most of the time. It tends to be shown that there is some kind of healthcare worker who is there 100% for their chronically ill patient and this said healthcare worker is there for the patient in their last dying breaths. Reality is usually a lot different from Hollywood fiction.…
