Raj is seen carrying this idea of Indianess, being an NRI, forward with him. All these…

However, now that I am older, I once again watched Mulan and realized that it should not have been a movie I watched as a child. It certainly is a lot darker than most animated Disney movies; the entire film is about war. It takes place in China when the Huns invade and every man must be drafted into the Chinese military, but Mulan’s father is not in the position to fight; therefore, Mulan decides to take his place and pretend to be a man in order to save her father. She becomes the best soldier…

The Domino effect. Things happen, and those things lead to even bigger things. Like a little mishap can lead to the destruction of an entire nation. Deplecion means to get smaller and fade away. That's what this empire just ended up doing. Rome was a great empire that ruled for many years. This empire made many important contributions to today's society.. Like the Republic, Dictatorship, an Aqueduct, and bettered agriculture. But what caused this thriving nation to crumble? The fall of Rome was…

army in place of her father. There are many references to Confucianism. Confucianism will be explained through obedience and worshipping ancestors. One of the traits of Confucianism is obedience towards government. When china was under attack by the Huns the emperor sent out conscriptions. Mulan family must send a man to fight in the battle. However, Mulan has no brother and her father is ill, but he must fight in the battle. He honorably accepts the conscription. Later that day Mulan begs her…

While the Catholic Reformation technically started before the Protestant Reformation, the onset of Protestantism gave it a new character. Before, the church was reforming due to inner necessities, but now the church had actual issues to respond to from the Protestants (Gonzalez, Vol. 2, pg. 138). The three types of the reformation were spiritual, administrative, and doctrinal. The spiritual type included the developmentive new orders. There were the Capuchin Franciscan monastics. They were…

their sides, one next to each other and then intentionally knocking the first in the line over to its neighbouring domino. This creates a chain reaction and eventually all the dominoes collapse. It was just like that for the Roman Empire, it was the Huns invading from the east that caused the domino effect, they invaded (pushed into) the goths, who then invaded (pushed into) the Roman Empire. The internal causes of the decline • The split of the empire into two part weakened the empire • Roman…

Over There I have always been a fan of musicals and the great songs sung on the musical stage or in the Hollywood movies. My one all time favorite musical was about the life of songwriter and composer George M. Cohen who wrote a lot of patriotic song in his time. One of most inspiring and wonderful songs which he wrote during WWI was “Over There”. It was equally inspirational to the young men marching off to war and fighting overseas as it was to everyone who remained on the home-front. On April…

How Christianity Led to the Fall of Rome The Roman Empire fell to many declines, and unbelievably, the rise of Christianity is one of the declines. The rise of Christianity all officially started when Constantine the Great, (Emperor from 306-337 AD) made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. As a consequence, they had to tear down old temples where the Romans worshiped their gods and build new churches on top of them which made people upset. Also, there were some…

After the demise of the Qin emperor, Shi Huangdi, a peasant warrior named Liu Bang united the warring kingdoms and formed the new Han kingdom. It was the fastest dynastic change in Chinese history.
