Slaves did more work than ever before and rights of people were ignored. African American were slaves for too long and were finally getting sick of working…

America entered a time of progress and reform from 1890 to the 1920’s. This timeframe marked a great turning point for women in society. Progressive legislation, like the nineteenth amendment, helped create the flapper sub­culture that encouraged the liberalization of women in society. The sub­culture encouraged use of birth control, and encourage women to take control of their own lives. Before 1890, the role women played in society was very limited. They were to stay home to clean, raise and…

Euthanasia and assisted suicide are currently illegal in New Zealand, but I think they should be made legal. There are many different arguments for and against these topics which have been brought to light recently in New Zealand, with the case of Lucretia Seales being of major discussion. ‘The core of the euthanasia controversy is the tension between the values of life and individual liberty.’ I agree that it can be hard to determine what is best for the majority of peeople when it comes to…

In many places in his Inferno, the reason for Dante the poet’s placement of certain souls is murky at best. Nowhere is this problem so compounded as in Canto IV, where Dante the pilgrim meets the souls in Limbo. Dante the poet’s choice of whom to include among the “virtuous pagans” seems inconsistent and his removal of the pre-Christian monotheists from Limbo leaves questions about what it means, in his mind, to believe in God and to live a righteous life by His laws and the rules of the church,…
