Cyrus the Younger

modern day Iran. The ancient empire of Persia was founded by Cyrus the great in 550 BCE, and fell in around 330 BCE. The Persian Empire fell after being defeated by Alexander the great, due to the king (Xerxes) being weak and cruel. Darius the great was a mighty king who made huge commitments and contributions to improve the civilisation of Persia. Darius I was the king of Persia between 522 BCE to 480 BCE, taking over from King Cyrus II (Enc.Brit.2018). Darius the great was a prominent…

Ezra-Nehemiah is a historical account found within the Ketuvim detailing the Israelite return to Judah after the Babylonian exile. It focuses on the desire to restore Israelite society and quickly intermarriage arises as a major issue within this restoration attempt involving the more abstract issue of identity disintegration. The fight over intermarriage in Ezra-Nehemiah is not about racial purity but, instead, is directed at Israelite assimilation and the fear of an impending loss of religious…

Research Proposal The question I will be investigating is “Representations of Cyrus The Great - who was the real Cyrus?” The reason why I chose this topic and why I am interested in it, is because Cyrus The Great is a very famous Persian leader and I would like to investigate, study and learn about the history of my own country. I believe it is very interesting but also extremely sad to learn about a powerful empire, with a ruler who once created the human rights and gave absolute freedom to…

standardized money, and a highway, their successes are largely due to their leaders, Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great. Unlike many other rulers in his time, Cyrus held respect for human rights, different cultures and religions, and diversity in his people while Darius exhibited talent for organization and leadership. The Median, Lydian, Babylonian, and Egyptian empires ruled the east during 559 B.C. Cyrus II or “the Great” was the son of Kambujiya I and Princess Mandana, daughter of…

In 539 B.C., the king of Persia, Cyrus the Great, conquered the city of Babylon. Although defeating Babylon was a big accomplishment in itself, what Cyrus did next would change the course of history for mankind. Cyrus the Great did something that was unheard of at the time. He freed all of the slaves of Babylon. In doing so, he also declared that all people had the right to choose their own religion, and he advocated for racial equality. Unknowingly, Cyrus the Great began the first campaign in…

For this assignment, I chose to diagnose Demi Lovato. Ms. Lovato is a singer, songwriter, and actress, who started her career as a young actress in Barney and Friends. Later she starred in the Disney Channel hit show Camp Rock where she released her debut single “This is me”. I didn’t start listening to her music until just a few years ago, and I have grown to love Demi’s music. The lyrics in a lot of her songs have deep meanings and sometimes ironic inferences. This is what led me to look…

emotions and negative emotions from their fans. However, society tends to take what they see from celebrities and amplify the negative parts of the image. One of the most popular controversies over the last several years involves the singer, Miley Cyrus, and her dramatic change in appearance. It all started in 2010 when an abnormal picture…

Niatia “Lil Mama” Kirkland has had many roles throughout her career as she is a dancer, actress, and entertainer; but many now only know her as a meme, or a played out joke. Lil Mama’s first single, “Lip Gloss” came out in 2007 and was the game changer for her becoming career and had everything needed for a one hit wonder – a catchy beat, a catchy dance and something women of all ages could relate to, lip gloss. Although, her flow wasn’t awful and her dance moves were on point, people didn’t…

How do you think you would react if you had to be someone else for the majority of your life? Early in her life starring as Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus was always under someone else’s pressure. From performing and always having to be someone she isn’t, Miley Cyrus has finally set herself free after her breakup with former costar Liam Hemsworth. The on and off again couple has been together since 2012, but when the couple finally said their goodbyes, Miley had a different outlook on the whole…

it seems like nearly everyone is a Miley Cyrus fan and it's kind of infectious. Well, everyone except for perhaps Nicki Minaj. The recent 4th Annual Variety Show and Hilarity for Charity James Franco’s Bar Mitzvah was a star studded event. For those who don't already know, James is that guy from the Kim Jong Un movie. You know that one where they nearly got everyone killed and there was a huge Sony hacking scandal. Yeah, that one. Anyway, it was Miley Cyrus who stole the show once again,…
