housing. Magnetic Los Angeles studies the many ways Los Angeles was, in fact, created through planning and industry. There are numerous reasons that factored into Hise’s conclusion, and he states at the end of the book, “In this study I have traced a genealogy back to Ebenezer Howard’s garden city and the planned dispersion of the nineteenth-century industrial city” (Hise 215). Hise studies the long history of California and the state’s city planning. In particular, Hise focuses…

to different viewpoints of how power can be displayed and interacted with. Although a cartoon, Maus I & II graphically depict the holocaust from a unique yet universal point of view. Nietzsche in his confusing and extremely dense essay ‘On the Genealogy of Morals’ show the role of power in relations with others and also with the self. Borges collection…

Moreover, the novel is ought to read as both universal and particularly a black story because Hurston novel is a bildungsroman where the reader sees Janie’s development to womanhood in the novel. Ralph Thompson’s, Books of the Times, review stated that “Their Eyes Were Watching God is a story of Janie, who marries three times…in the case of Janie, we follow a typical progress from girlhood to middle age”. Not only does Janie’s three marriages portray her search for love, it portrays the stages…

Bishop Roy Sano, who is part of the United Methodist Episcopacy, wrote an article for Ministry Matters about Jesus’ ministry on the earth. He gives many examples of how Jesus went beyond cultural boundaries. He also talks about how even in Jesus’ own genealogy there is a blending of Jews and Gentiles. “The Holy Spirit equipped the apostles to bring together the first multi-lingual, multi-cultural mega-church and blended this variety into a single faith community” (“Biblical Obedience”). The…

1 CHAPTER 1: COVENANT AND COVENANTS The Bible is a big book with many stories, laws, genealogies, and even dedicates a great amount of space to instructions for construction. Some of the content seems easy enough to understand. Other content seems strange. All of this content comes bound together as one book, but there are two so-called “Testaments” (old and new) as well as sixty-six individual books written over the span of about 1,500 years. Do all of these books fit together somehow? Is this…

assuming that non-patrilineal kinship systems encourage gender equality is simplistic. An array of sociological factors regulate ndividuals’ position in a given community and lineage is only one. However because of the link between inheritance and genealogy, it is safe to infer that the position of women in patrilineal and matrilineal societies are bound to somewhat differ. Moreover, I remain convinced that holding women as exclusive holders of group membership has ramifications beyond kinship…

William Stubbs had transformed the study of history to a continuous and research driven university discipline. It is important to note that the study of history was not created by Stubbs as it was present for centuries. However through Stubbs’s work the subject of history began to have an impact for academic studies and future historians. The legacy of Stubbs can be seen through the introduction of the Constitution History of England. Stubbs’s articulates a warning to his audience before reading…

One reason that DNA testing attracted people’s attention is it is ability to uncover that ancestry information that individuals who have been disconnected from their ancestor’s homeland. For instance, during the period of slavery, European brought a large of number of slaves from various parts of Africa to the New World and those slaves have in America for generations. DNA examination brings hope for these African Americans because it can trace back their ancestry which helps African Americans…

The African-American culture is made up of a group of individuals that have resided in the United States for the last 400 years or so. Most of them have descended from slaves who were forced from Africa to work on plantations in the South. Most, if not all, of them have faced a type of discrimination at some point ever since arriving to the United States. Despite the challenges African-Americans eventually moved to big cities like Detroit to thrive and live better lives. While residing in…

In seeking research to confirm the statement, “Heraldry has been a reflection of nations’ cultures throughout history”, research suggests that the answer is yes, it certainly has, although it is much more involved than what is commonly represented. The concept of heraldry is very complex and can be broken down into certain ideas. The idea of associative signs or armorial bearings is not pinpointed to a specific time, going as far back as Biblical times (Franklyn, 2). However, the specific idea…
