All messages aside, this piece is meticulously crafted to get through to his audience, no matter who that may be. Crawford reminds us that the classical appeals and subtle style changes in writing can still make a much larger impact than elegant word choice and gets straight…

The 17th century up to the early 18th century is considered one of my favorite time periods. It is just something about the way the people spoke to one another, the way they wore their hair, and the way they dressed that always caught my eye, especially the women. Madame de Pompadour was the person I have chosen to write about for my research paper. I chose Pompadour because I read a brief summary of her life story seeing that she was born into the 17th century and I happened to like that time…

Why has college become such a trend in this recent decade, despite the spike in overall costs and poor job economy for recent graduates? College is now seen as the gateway into a glorious career with prospects of a good salary and good benefits, even though not every degree is…

health benefits (Ferguson, 2003). The leaf of ti kouka was used by early Maori for weaving, praised for its strength and resilience notably in sea water hence its use as an anchor ‘chains’ for boats and fishing line. Ti kouka was used by travellers in the form of a type of legging to protect them from spiky speargrasses that grew in the high country (Scheele, 2007).

male and female, were selected at birth or during infancy to become berdaches by their parents. Some were even determined around the ages of 6-10 when the child would show more interest in the roles of the opposite sex. That would be young boys weaving baskets and making clothes and jewelry, and young girls preferring the glory of hunting and fighting in war. If the child took more interest in the roles that did not fit their sex at birth, then the parents would discard their previous identity…

The Paleolithic people’s main source of income was hunting and gathering, and they lived in egalitarian societies where men and women were equal. The plants women gathered made up about 70% of the food the families ate while the meat men brought only made up for about 30%. These people did not need much so they barely put in any hard work or effort, and just got what they needed.…
