skin. You’re almost guaranteed to see one of these running around on October 31.

The principle walked out to the field looking down at the ground with a microphone in one hand. He slowly picked up his head looking at everyone, and it looked like our principle was going in slow motion, tapping the microphone, testing if it worked.

Orientalism, even going so far as to “[accuse] Said of perpetuating the same Eastern stereotypes for which he has faulted the Western imperialist” (“Edward W. Said” 336). Others simply focused on the imperfections in his arguments, stating that they were weak or could have had more impact (336). In his review of Orientalism in 1980, Malcolm H.

In 1796, a medical scientistic known as Edward Jenner who operated in Britain discovered that if you inject a weakened version of a disease into a body, then it will help it fight the real version of the virus. This method became to be known as a vaccination which comes from the latin word vacca which means cow. This is because the first disease to ever be combated with vaccines was cowpox, a less serious version of smallpox which was on an outbreak in 1796.As of now…

The notion and study of orientalism in the West reached a different understanding from an iconic book called „Orientalism“, written by Edward Said. Nevertheless, contemporary discussions have highlighted various types of orientalism in the Western world, their perception of the „East“ , frailty of epistemological distinction made between "the Orient" and "the Occident“ and have moved way further than Said's description of the phenomenon.

April 14, 1912, occurred the most remarkable ship catastrophe of the historical 100 years. The Titanic, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and sank with a loss of 1500 people. The Titanic’s captain, Captain Edward J. Smith, played a bewildering role in this catastrophe. Smith was an experienced seaman. He was considered a rational choice for his post. But on that day he acted quite strangely. It began with the way he navigated the ship, then the ship's…
