Friedrich List

Even our best friends can be our own family. A German inventor, Friedrich Koenig once said, “We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.” We surely have so many blessings until we are unable to list all of them, yet we often take them for granted. Our family is a big blessing to us and we should be very grateful and happy to…

the ongoing ressentiment between the Middle East and the United States and there should have been no one hurt because of it. This leads effortlessly into the explanation of stages of symbolic empowerment. In Terror in the Mind of God Juergensmeyer lists the four stages of symbolic empowerment. The first stage being a world gone awry. Secondly, the foreclosure of ordinary options. Thirdly, santanization and cosmic war. Fourthly, symbolic acts of power. The film portrays the United States getting…

It outsold its nearest competitor by over 40,000 units.

Introduction When we hear the term substance abuse, we think about illicit drugs like crack, cocaine, marijuana, or heroin, we hardly ever think about the more mundane drugs such as caffeine. “In the US, more than 90% of adults use caffeine regularly, with an average consumption of more than 200 mg of caffeine per day - more caffeine than in two 6 ounce cups of coffee or five 12 ounce cans of soft drinks” (Nichols, 2015). This makes caffeine the perfect drug because it is widely-available, cheap…

Introduction - Historic Enron Financial Scandal The merger between Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth produced Enron in 1985 which started off slowly specializing in the natural gas and then grew to start increasing its product range.

been to Dresden Germany. I bet, when you ask your friends, family and colleagues right now if they have heard of Dresden or been to Dresden, they would say NO or probably say WHERE IS IT? I would also bet that if you ask them what’s on their Bucket list or places they would want to see, DRESDEN, would not be one of them. This is one of the many reasons why I chose Dresden as my first Blog post. Dresden is a big revelation to me when it comes to architecture and history. I simply fell in love…

According to the article I read online. I discovered Engels and Marx pointed out how the worldview had changed into a form of materialistic nature.

Essentially, this theory…

been performed almost constantly since their debut. Reading Shakespeare is even mandatory in high schools across the United States. Just like Shakespeare’s influence can be seen in other plays throughout history (and even across languages), such as Friedrich Schiller’s Wilhelm Tell1, it can be found in tons of other more recent visual media as well. For example, Disney’s The Lion King draws on the story of Hamlet. In the Looney Tunes episode “A Witch’s Tangled Hare”, Shakespeare writes Macbeth…

Although homosexuality’s existence no doubt preceded scientific or academic scrutiny, its study and differentiation from heterosexuality emerged at the same time as boundaries of black and white bodies were being studied. In the Jim Crow segregation era, relationships between two people of the same sex would already be troublesome, but two women of different races, would be especially alarming. The existence of race within sexuality, and vice versa, amplified the other’s presence more. Through…
