When we think of the ancient classical civilization of the Romans, what comes to mind? Perhaps it’s the amazing architectural feats, or rather the advanced forms of government that we still use to this very day? I submit that neither is as spectacular as the ancient underground catacombs that hold the mass graves of around 2000 skeletons.

Because of its beauty, fragrance and appearance it always inspired poets and writers to use this particular flower as a metaphor for the expression of their love.

In the first semester of Introduction to Sociology three main contributors/theorists have been discussed. Those three contributors/theorists include Carl Marx, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim. Without these three men we would not have the sociological theories that we have today. Emile Durkheim was born in France on April 15, 1858. Durkheim believed that science is one of the greatest inventions of the human mind. One of main goals in his studies was to get sociology to be recognized as a science…

Under the guise of sarcasm and an erratic and fantastical plot, Voltaire’s Candide examines human nature and the human condition in the context of an 18th century France.

I've just opened a bottle of 'Esprit de Puisseguin;' a sampling from the Bordeaux region; well it seemed appropriate while reading through de Montaigne's essays... in truth they're really…

healthy when they went to bed at night could be dead by the next morning. Y. pestis could be found almost everywhere in Medieval Europe, but it was particularly at home aboard ships of all kinds. By the end of 1348, the Black Death had struck Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, and London. In the middle of the 14th century, there seemed to be no rational explanation for it. No one knew exactly how the Black Death was transmitted from one patient to another, or how to prevent and treat it. “Physicians relied…
