There are two principles: The first is the idea of “no account of proximity or distance.” The second is the idea of “this principle makes no distinction between cases.” Sometimes, one person can deal with everything about cases of disaster, but other times one person can just help in one situation with a few people. Singer states that his idea in the second principle is the need to defend those in need more. For example among the Bengali refugees, many people are in a terrible situation, but…

religious or spiritual people share a universal belief in a relationship - or a covenant - between humanity and the divine, yet they struggle to understand the barrier between the two. Structural analysis of Aeschylus’ Oresteia Trilogy illuminates the distinctions between humans and gods, focusing on the concepts’ amalgamation in one paramount act that unites humans and divinities. Clytaemnestra sparks this series of polarities by mercilessly slaying her husband, Agamemnon, who sacrificed their…

Since these animals are found in almost every environment on earth, it has become possible to study their characteristics and construct evolutionary relationships, noting morphological and molecular similarities and differences. The relationships between the most primitive of animals were determined by the morphological traits of symmetry, tissues, body cavity, embryological development, and molecular evidence. [1] Symmetry and tissues are major…

Drugs are chemicals, when a person places these chemicals into their human body, either by introducing, eating them, inhaling, or smoking, they wire into the brain's communication system and interfere with the way nerve cells generally receive, send, and process facts. Certain drugs, like heroin and marijuana have chemical forms that mimic that of a neurotransmitter that normally occurs in our bodies. However, they do not operate the same way as a regular neurotransmitter and the neurons…

Alfred F. Young seeks to shed some light on the American Revolution by telling the life of George Robert Twelves Hewes, a shoemaker, who fought for a better future in hopes of providing for his family. However how did a poor shoemaker end up being an essential character in several important events during the revolution? As well as, why had Hewes been granted a place in history when the majority of people from his social class have been forgotten? Young “discovered Hewes through an inordinately…
