After centuries of neglect from the various Tsars, the common people of Russia successfully revolted against sovereign rule and established a new government, one that was intended to be for the working class. Spearheaded by Vladimir Lenin, Russia became the first Communist country, giving equal rights to all (including women) and distributing property evenly amongst peasants. Lenin was praised by the people of Russia for being a man that focused on the common good of all and had the best…

In The Market as God, theologian Harvey Cox draws an intriguing analogy between The Market (capitalized as a deity) and the biblical God; Cox argues that The Market has taken control of our world like God to the religious, and as such has become the main religion in the world today. He draws a variety of parallels between the treatment, actions, and powers of The Market and God, and uses these parallels to draw conclusions about how to relegate The Market to a more appropriate role. His central…

submissive, and inferior. However, The Wife acts quite the opposite. The Wife “prompts misogynist notions: is masculinity any less and femininity any more a characteristic of females than of males?” (Oberembt 290). During the Middle Ages, there was an omnipresence of misogyny and anti-feminist bias. Many of the women were seen as lustful, dishonest to themselves and their husbands, and were after essentially on the prowl for wealth. The Wife of Bath was no exception. Through adultery, deceit,…

The word family is defined as “the basic unit in society, traditionally consisting of two parents rearing their children;” never does it mention specifics to the gender of the parents ("Family." Merriam-Webster.com.). When a child is born, it comes into the world with no social knowledge of right and wrong. An infant only knows the two people that hold him when he cries, that feed him when he’s hungry, and that try to make him laugh and smile. This infant will grow to love these parents in the…

over by an ingloriously annoying jingle, “Lynn, Lynn, city of sin, you’ll never come out the way you came in.” I heard it chanted through elementary school hallways, mocked by middle school kids, and hummed by high schoolers. You would think its omnipresence would keep away travelers, but, then again, my grandmother didn’t speak English. She came over from the Dominican Republic thirty-six years ago, with my mother and her five other kids. She was single, couldn’t speak English, and…

Question One: African Societies, pre-European led colonization, and imperialism had a distinctly different cultural and geographic structure. Traditional African society was organized around several different institutions such as kinship, and nonkinship, as well as early political structures. The family unit falls mainly under kinship, as one would expect. The institution of marriage as it existed then is not the current idea of it being a contract and a union between the two individuals…

The Vietnam War’s protests are some of the most well-known in United States history. This is because of the near-omnipresence in public opinion against the war, with support coming from women’s peace groups, clergy, black civil rights groups, youth organizations, and many others. However, the interesting question is why was so much of the public vocally against this war? In other words, what made the war in Vietnam worse than other wars the United States engaged in? This research paper seeks to…
