Greek Mythology Online Presentation “I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that’s the basis of Greek mythology” (Brendan Fraser). Known throughout our modern world perhaps even more than any nursery rhyme or scary story, are the tales of the Gods by the Greeks. From an early age I was drawn to the epic adventures of Jason and the Argonauts along with Perseus, and I still find them very interesting today. In honor of these…

Thus, through exploring the origins of the Hamlet story,…

There was a time when women were not allowed to vote and were seen mainly and solely as the supporters and nourishers of their families at home. Even though there are still some characteristic inequalities between men and women in today’s society such as uneven pay, uneven job opportunities, and even some lingering ill feeling towards working women, the rights of women have…

Touching the Breeze: Sue Goyette’s Ocean “Objects are the way things appear to a subject – that is with a name, an identity, a gestalt or a stereotypical template. … Things, on the other hand, … [signal] the moment when the Object becomes the Other, when the sardine can look back, when the mute idol speaks, when the subject experiences the object as uncanny and feels the need for what Foucault calls ‘a metaphysics of the object, or, more exactly, a metaphysics of that never objectifiable depth…

how they can be either lengthened or shortened in terms of time. As a result of progressive climate change, phenological changes are becoming more apparent in the world. In some cases of phenological shifts, an organism can directly affect their genealogy due to the climate change. These specific organisms have a trait that is known as temperature-dependent sex determination. The microclimate that the embryos are developing in will determine the sex that they will be born as. This specific…
