He decreed that the body of Antigone’s brother Polynices would not be buried, in opposition to the gods’ mandate regarding burial. Against the advice of many, in particular, his son Haemon, Creon persists with this order, believing that any modification of his decision would somehow diminish his authority. In this tragic play by Sophocles, Haemon and…

policy on their dress code, which parents and students enjoy. Dress codes are good to them, because it means that everyone is treated fairly. “There is no guarantee of free speech or expression in the classroom. Students must do what school policy mandates or face the consequences. Schools are charged with maintaining an environment conducive to learning, and strict dress codes or uniforms help encourage this,” (Chittom). The argument could go either way; either you love school dress codes, or…
George Orwell, in a way, shows the reader how the world could eventually turn to: with no privacy from anyone, especially the government. Through the use of the Thought Police, telescreens, Newspeak or Oldspeak, and the 4 Ministry’s The Party can mandate and know the entire lives of the Inner Party, the Outer Party and the Proles. The Thought Police is a secret force who are always watching, and listening to scope out who is betraying Big Brother, the leader of Oceania, or is committing…

When investigating pictures after the crash, The NTSB realized that a trail of fluid was coming out of the left wing. They find out that several of the DC-10 hydraulic lines ran at the leading edge of the wing. When the Engine of the Left…
Just War Theory Just war theory is not exclusively a Christian idea, rather it is rooted in classical Greco-Roman thought. The phrase “just war” can be traced back to Aristotle (384-322 BCE), but it was the Roman statesman Cicero (106-43 BCE) who proliferated and debated the idea of just war. Christianity did not begin to embrace the idea of just war until Ambrose (340-397 CE) and his disciples Augustine (354-430 CE) began to suggest that some wars may be justifiable. Ironically, both Ambrose…

Whilst debate and discussion simulated my imagination, I wanted to understand how to make a difference. Thus, I have become used to critically analysing current events, from EU membership to the refugee crisis, conscious that political…

This picture is a reflection and provides insight as to what black South-Africans endured from 1948 to 1991(Staff, 2010). This photo can be examined and debriefed through three different social sciences, anthropology, sociology and psychology. Using anthropology, the time era will be examined, what exactly was happening in south Africa. Along…
