While both of these societies practiced religion in a similar manner, they also had a number of noticeable differences between them. Often, it would seem that each of the societies chose to…

Cultural Change and Adaptation Both Thomas Sowell and Michael Schwalbe think cultural change and adaptation are necessary to the social world but their views are different. Sowell, has conservative views while Schwalbe views lie on the liberal side. Sowell views are cut and dried (everyone should be treated equally), whereas Schwalbe views seem to be more flexible taking the situation into account (everyone should be sociologically mindful).

Originally created to facilitate and improve the lives of humans, technology--through reshaping of social interactions--allows humans to communicate in a widespread, anonymous manner that both unites strangers while simultaneously depriving individuals of physical, and personal interactions. After observing technology’s presence in my daily events, social media evidently allows individuals to express their emotions, beliefs, and opinions without the essential underlying need to make it personal…

As is historically the case when any concept, invention or discovery is slated to help mankind, Christianity, in all its self-appointed divine glory, waltzes in with a bottle of holy water and squelches even the most vehement of would-be do-gooders. My statement may be overdramatic, but there is no denying that there was (and still is) much contention between the Church and the artists & creators of their respective eras. Most notably of these, the Dark Ages (Middle Ages, Early-Middle Ages),…

Badass U Articles Summary True Alpha? True Alpha The word “alpha” has become very popular in the last decade or so when describing human social dynamics. But the definition of the term isn’t so clear. Most define it as being the leader of men (or women). Or, as some insecure douchebag who is excessively aggressive. And with the first definition, interestingly, people will look at wolves and gorillas to give examples of alphas in the wild. But there really are no alpha males there. Scientists…

Technology is one of the few foundations that the world is built on. Even in the early 1900s, the spectacular advancements made around the world aided the result that it is today. Aldous Leonard Huxley was a part of a family famous for their stupendous accomplishments in the fields of science and literature. In the 1930s, Huxley wrote Brave New World, a stunningly revolutionary novel that depicts the progress of extreme rapid growth of technology, which creates a quite radical culture when…

Manson dominated Family life, even to the extent of telling members who they could have sex with. No one questioned his…
