“A Nation Cannot Exist Without a National Institute” Ireland had a plethora of existing literature before its nationalist movement, however, the majority of their literature was centered on British prejudiced. A unified movement to create a uniquely Irish dramatic form had not yet been attempted. William Butler Yeats saw this as his opportunity to develop his paragon of Irish theatre that could unify Ireland through literature. Yeats alleged that in order to create a mature society, Ireland…

Her research on the Ashby family begins with the journey of George Ashby, who sailed from England to Barbados. In Barbados, he would struggle to make a living.

The first article to review is “Don’t waste police resources,” and it was written by Debra Leach. She is against not raising the Blood Alcohol Limi because she wants our officers to focus on actual criminals. What she means are the ones that are murdering people, stealing, and performing violent crimes. She believes the law enforcement in the United States needs to focus on criminals that are doing much more to warm people. “Such a law could set back safety efforts and give criminal records…

Desiderius Erasmus’ “Praise of Folly” satirically examines the ignorance of those of mankind in the 1500s. In doing so, Erasmus strategically chooses to narrate the work from the perspective of the female personification of Folly, a goddess of foolishness. She seeks to promote and strengthen the faults and shortcomings of mankind’s relationships through foolishness. Folly claims to be the savior for trouble minds, the human race continues because of folly. In such a way, Erasmus, uses the…

Throughout this Spring Semester we discussed many different social justice issues all completely different, but none the less important. Our class adapted a learning through discussion type of approach; rather than being lectured for three hours we all discussed different topics, had debates, asked questions, stated our opinions on controversial topics, etc. The class was intriguing making it one of my favorite classes to go to. A couple of the topics we discussed were human and sex trafficking,…

Romeo’s response to the concept of love in Act 1 demonstrates his ingenuous and grandiose nature. Initially, we see him perplexed and almost angered by love, when he says “misshapen chaos… well-seeming forms!”. However, by Scene 5 we see that his earlier opinion has changed completely, and his response to his first meeting with Juliet shows this. His language is referenced from a Christian lexicon and puts the Elizabethan audience of the time period it was performed in at ease. His feelings…

Some people believe that money and greed seem to be the root of all evil. This in fact may be true, but, what causes people to behave in such a manner to where money controls their behavior? Manipulating and deceiving people out of their hard earned money is very frowned upon but somehow people get away with it and it still happens like nothing. Money and greed bring out the darkest part out of people’s souls and make them think in such an evil devilish way that they have never thought before.…

Sensation and Perception chapter 5 page 154. This chapter talks about how we humans feel pain, see, hear, taste, smell, touch, and how these sensations effect our very day lives. The evolution in humans has developed to acquire certain characteristics that people need to survive. Humans need sensations to be able to understand what can hurt them, or what stimulates them to react. This term sensation relates to me the most because without the ability to register and understand what is going on…

Throughout history there has been the much debated topic of whether or not Christians and Muslims worship the same God. This controversy still continues today, and both sides present very informative arguments. It is important to make clear that if one does argue that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, it does not mean they believe that both religions are the same. Many people on the side that Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God will argue that although both religions…

Is Islam and violence like a peanut butter and jelly combination? Do they always get along with each other? The growth of terrorist groups such as Boko Haram, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, who have Muslims as their group members, baffle the non-Islamic people regarding the true nature of Islam. Most analysts argue that the terrorist threat is unquestionably Islamic and is not much a deviation from Muslim tradition, whereas others defend that…
