The Erie Canal has been praised for years as a well-known legendary waterway around the world (Larkin 1998). The canal has been termed as “the greatest public work undertaken by a free society solely for the benefit of its people…the undertaking was a prodigious one” (Edmonds 1960, p. 1). Not only was the forty feet wide, four foot deep and 363 miles canal, which originally contained 77 locks, able to bridge a connection from Lake Erie to the Hudson and a 66 mile link to the Champlain Canal as a…

Police brutality is a real issue in today’s society due to the media making a big deal about it. This author swears, with his right hand on the bible, to tell the truth, the whole truth, and everything but the truth. Police brutality doesn’t just occur in the US it happens all over the world but however there are justified reasons why police have to do what they got to do to survive. On the other hand some police do brutally use too much force and those are the police that get put on the news…

Both the 2013 historical novel, ‘Burial Rites’ by Hannah Kent and the 2003 independent film ‘Lost in Translation’ directed by Sofia Coppola explore the ways in which isolation can be shown through more than just the protagonists eye. Kent and Coppola create a harsh setting that works to alienate protagonists from their surroundings. Combined with dissimilar social statuses and the overarching effects of sound, a sense of separation within the two texts is developed. The implementation of film…

and philosophies, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe introduces a single theme around the capacity and limitations of a man who, under a tailored philosophy of a hero, flunks miserably! A hero is someone that humanity idolizes as a god, like Superman to Metropolis, and model themselves to, like humanity to God. Someone who can be esteemed by the masses as an individual of divine morality and strength, an individual that never forfeits their beliefs under any strain. Therefore, through his perverted…

The first great heresy for the Christian religion is considered to be the Arian heresy-- with the name deriving from its most influential preacher, a parish priest named Arius from Antioch. The Arian heresy arose, in the year 318, from the fact that it was difficult to explain the difference between “the One and the Many, between the ultimate unity that lay behind the visible universe and the incapable variety that exists in the world as we know it”. Arius resolved this problem by preaching…

Bees are the most important providers of ecosystem services globally(Roubik, 2006) with an estimated 20,000-30,000 species worldwide; as they are also important indicators of biodiversity. They have co- evolutionary relationships with plants and therefore their services are inevitable for the maintenance of the life cycles of many plant species(Sasidharan & Kunhikannan, 2007). Stingless bees (referred to as meliponine bees) are important pollinators and also valued for the honey they produce.…

A shining metropolis carved from the finest of white marble, with pristine columns reaching towards the heavens and grandiose sculptures of alluring deities, guarding the city with devotion. A thousand brilliant tiles depict scenes of it’s illustrious history, while tiered fountains, scattered about the commons; although filled with water, no longer run. Years of neglect have allowed the elements to erode some of the intricate carvings decorating the façades. This city, once fit for a king, is…

The change from a small suburban town to a large, bustling metropolis could not be more drastic. My first impression of the city was that everyone walked at an uncomfortably rapid pace. One could easily identify a New Yorker based on his fast walking, fast talking, fast eating, fast thinking…It was clear to me that…

Modern Policing’s Evolution Since its Inception First Phase of Modern Policing: 1829 – 1945 The first phase of modern policing commenced in April 1829, as Sir Robert Peel introduced “A Bill for Improving the Police in and Near the Metropolis” (Lyman, 1964, p. 150); this bill mirrored Peel’s nine principles and established what modern ethical policing would constitute. It was operationalized into what was known as the London Metropolitan Police (LMP). The LMP, a government police force (p. 150),…
