a. Culture/pg. 34: The language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and even material objects that characterize a group and are passed from one generation to the next. Culture is a broad term describing the way people live. Each area in the world occupies a different culture. Each culture therefore has its own norms and expectations. In the United States we have the culture described as being a melting pot. One agreement across all cultures that occupy and exist in the United States is the…

The Battle of Passchendaele, or the Third Battle of Ypres, was a campaign fought in World War I by the Allies, namely the British Empire and France, and Germany. The campaign began on 31 July 1917, lasting until 6 November of that year, when Passchendaele fell to the Allies. Its impetus can be found in the long-term background preceding it, such as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the alliance system, the Schlieffen Plan, and trench warfare which resulted in a war of attrition; as…

“Well, as you all know, Nephilim are what you get when angels and humans have interspecies relationships, so this is no ordinary child. I have sent Eremiel back to Earth to care for it until we decide what to do with her, she has immense power within her, we can tell. As for the mother, she has paid for her sins by way of being stoned. Eremiel carried the deed out himself. The father, I know who it is, but I am not going to say. I have forgiven him of this sin and will not shame him for it, as…

Very few artists have captured the minds of audiences young and old quite like the way Vincent van Gogh has. His life and works have proven to fascinate time and time again. During his lifetime it was stated, "of his 700 paintings and thousands of drawings, of which he sold less than half-dozen in his lifetime." (Fiero, 2011) In this paper, the life of Vincent van Gogh will be addressed up until the point of his demise. Within this discussion, one of the most recognizable paintings titled "The…

A dirt road called Half Breed Drive stretches out of Auburn, Nebraska for just a few miles, through endless cornfields, past a single mailbox. But its history runs deep, with an origin story stretching back 185 years, long before Nebraska was a state, or even a territory. This road traces the top of the western boundary of the Half-Breed Tract, a failed reservation for people rooted in two cultures but welcome in neither. The story that follows only amounts to pieces that I’ve stitched together…

Butler County, like most sparsely populated counties in the South, has its small towns and villages where everyone knows everyone else, and the town of Ridgeville is not any different; we rarely see anyone we don‘t already know. So you can imagine my surprise at literally bumping into a complete stranger as my cousin Jenny and I walked past the new variety store, on our way to the mercantile. When he said excuse me, ma’am and I turned to look at him, I was rendered speechless, whereas moments…

Familiar terms such as “progress“, “freedom“, “prosperity“, “productivity” and “equality” have seemingly altered American society. Although they live in a nation that has the highest GDP in the world, most Americans are not able to truly afford what they need. The influence of the market stresses that everything is for sale and that we need to push to get all that we can. The social market has ultimately diluted the real values of American and created new norms for society. “Land of the free”,…

As a vet tech working in an emergency hospital, I see vomiting dogs a lot. It is probably one of the most common problems that are seen by vets, and there are many reasons behind it. Some are easy to fix, but other times it can be more serious. Below is a list of what you can do at home to help your vomiting dog, and when to seek medical attention. Any kind of irritation of the stomach can cause vomiting. A main cause is what we like to call food indiscretion. Pretty much, it is eating…

Millions of dollars were spent on luxury homes, private jets, ranches, and even historical artifacts (Drug). In 1984, Pablo Escobar was named the seventh richest man in the world (Gangster). Pablo even had his own zoo on one of his estates. It was complete with elephants, buffaloes, lions, rhinos, gazelles, hippos, camels, ostriches, and a herd of zebras. Pablo was also known for his immature, frivolous spending. He would have beauty queens to come and entertain some of his closest friends. He…
