The gender permitted to join the Benedictine order is male.The Benedictine order all started from a vision.

I chose to revise “Cinderella” because the power of female beauty and the presence of female passivity as a component of beauty has found its way into modern culture and it has warped society’s perspective of females. Cinderella’s impact on growing girls is enormous because it is the biggest of the three “Big Girl Tales” and it is embedded in the heart of our culture in regards to how little girls should grow to view themselves (Thomas, Tammis). The subliminal impacts of “Cinderella” on the…

In the psychological field, thought reform has been studied, proving that social influence has been able to change people’s attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. In the government, propaganda has been used to influence their citizens by altering the environment around them. In history, Hitler manipulates and molds the minds of the German population to follow his ideals and support his actions, therefore creating and elongating one of the world’s most terrifying times. In literature, George Orwell’s…

Have you ever heard of a rule in your school that no weapons, even toy ones, are allowed on campus? Well, surprisingly, there’s a “water-pistol ambush” game in a private high school called St. Ann’s in Brooklyn, New York. It’s a school tradition where a senior judge (who doesn’t participate in the game) assigns each team a student to attack with a water pistol. The last person who has not been killed wins the game and a cash prize. I think that the water pistol games should not be organized as a…

Equally enjoyable to watch, tragedy and comedies are polar opposites on stage. Tragedies are consumed by suffering, and death, while comedies include excitement and joyful scenes. Brutal scenes of violent combat, as well as internal combat, compete against the scenes of singing and dancing in a comedy. A tragedy focuses on the main character and their despair/pain, while a comedy is created the story of two lovers. By comparing Shakespeare’s plays, King Lear and Much Ado, the structural…

Video Games Do Not Cause Violent Behavior Over the years there have been several incidents that have stirred up the emotions of people, parents and especially investigators. These incidents include the Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting, the Columbine Massacre, and the incident in Colorado where a man went on a shooting spree in an Aurora movie theater. There was one key thing that aroused people’s emotions connected by investigators to all three incidents: video games. This led to the belief that…

test tubes where we have seen negative reactions to the three solutions A, B, C as the solution was in yellow colour and a positive reaction to the solution D as the solution turned to blue-black colour. Later we did the benedict’s test by adding benedict solute (CuSO4) in a 2.5ml pipette and mixed with 1ml mixed carbohydrate solution. The test tube was kept on a stand in a boiling water bath for 2mins and was removed to check the reactions. We have noticed positive reactions to solutions A and…

Alan Mathison Turing was one of the greatest mathematicians to have served this world. Without Turing, World War 2 would've raged on for about two to four more years. With Alan Turing's invention of the "Colossus", he was able to break the German code of Enigma. The "Colossus" deciphered the message that came from the German machine the Enigma. With the "Colossus", he saved up to ten to twenty-one million lives. He's a hero of World War 2 and a hero to countless people who could've been a…
