4. A thematic dialogue between several early Modern Jewish literature prose is this discussion of exile. This is perhaps unsurprising, given exile of the Jewish people is often a narrative framework for the Jewish way of life. The roots of this theme can be traced in to one of the inaugural Jewish literary prose authors, Medele Mocher Sforim, who writes in Shem and Japeth on the Train, “life in exile-this precious gift from God’s store- belongs only to Jews-His chosen people” (Sforim 35). In…

speculation that she was buried before King Tutankhamen. Nicholas Reeves had a theory that Nefertiti had a burial chamber just beyond the burial chamber of the young King Tutankhamen, but that it was sealed behind a hidden door that may have been sealed years before (Where is Queen Nefertiti’s tomb?). Recent geological scan of that area has revealed two separate rooms of the boy kings burial chamber. One of these rooms lies just to the right of the north end with a small doorway to allow…
true henge, as its ditch runs outside its bank; within it, there is a circle of upright stones, some with other stones placed across them to form what looks like a doorway. The earliest date associated with Stonehenge is 4050 BC, when the site was a burial ground (Burl 2007: 86); however archaeological evidence shows that the site was often modified and reworked, and that sarsen stones and bluestones brought from Wales (Childe 1955: 283) are thought to have first been erected in 2900-2550 BC…
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” In Antigone two sisters are disputing ther view on morals and the law.

I do agree with Michael Sandel that using his three ideas for determining justice or injustice for social issues is valuable. Maximizing welfare, respecting freedom and promoting virtue will contribute to deciding whether or not that a social issue would be under the notion of justice or injustice. The Dakota pipeline is a controversial topic in the news today. I believe that the Dakota pipeline goes against all three of Michael Sandel’s ideas and is injustice. The Dakota pipeline is not…
others and can further the human race as a whole and do what others said could not be done. The first point appears many times throughout the story especially at the beginning when Mau is giving the people of the Nation their water burials. The importance of the burial is very high with Mau’s religion because if the people are not buried correctly then they cannot be transformed into dolphins and continue on living until it is time for them to be reborn again. A second time this idea appears…
Most health care practices revolve around the traditional fasting Ramadan that occur in the months that may affect the patient’s health behaviors.

Any consumption of alcohol is forbidden smoking as well because the substances are harmful to the body. This culture believes that every illness has a cure, and this…
Some better huts might have foundations made of stone, set into trenches, and supporting walls of large timbers (Stokstad, p.13). The Styles of houses were vary in different regions. These houses were rebuild again and again over time, and human burials were found under these houses. That makes it very difficult to determine whether or not these houses were used as special purpose. Numerous of art works like sculpture, wall painting and potteries were also found inside these houses. For example…
not realize that she has given her freedom to the gods, and she believes that she is the one making the decisions in her life. In all reality, the gods are “possessing" Antigone. Antigone shows this when she goes against Kreon to give Polynices burial rights. As much as this action may seem to be free thinking and something that she is passionate about, it was highly pressured and completely influenced by the expectations set by the gods. The gods have so deeply engrained it into Antigone’s…
