The pomposity of the belief that intervention is the key to salvation instigated a shift in political depiction of Muslim women on both a national and international spectrum. The indication that it is the West’s responsibility to protect the orient women stems from orientalist values and strengthens the “sense of [Western] superiority”. It is this savior thinking that Lila Abu-Lughod critiques as other women experience many of the issues these women faced across the world. The male-dominated…

Behavior Although mostly terrestrial, Didelphis virginiana also uses arboreal and aquatic locomotion. On the ground, its gait resembles that of primitive mammals [6], which is unsurprising given that opossum-like mammals first appeared over 65 million years ago around the time when the dinosaurs were going extinct [12]. Though the opossum’s arboreal locomotion is aided by the adaptations mentioned earlier, it is still relatively slow and clumsy. However, it is a strong – if slow – swimmer, and…

In the fifteenth century, the introduction of gunpowder revolutionized warfare and rendered the previously impregnable walled fortifications of cities weak and defenseless. It led to an arms race that reorganized political boundaries and shifted the mindset of Christian and Muslim regimes.

Safavid Persia rose in 1500 with the crowning of…

People see the world differently, even if you grow up next door to each other, have the same friends, and work at the same place, the way…

Systems Theory is the interdisciplinary study of systems in general, and this paper will mainly explore the Systems Theory developed by Talcott Parsons, an American sociologist. The aim of his theory is to explicate the structure of a system in social sciences. Parsons perceives the social system as a composition of primary constituents of a general system of action with three other constituent units of subsystems of action. Three subsystems of action are the cultural system, the personality…

In the high middle ages, Europeans celebrated a number of victories. The increased lay religiousness created a widespread sense of scholasticism. New roads and bridges were being built in Europe to make trade easier. The expansion of the European economy in the 13th and 14th centuries lead to an increased prosperity--- shifting interest and focus on what was becoming a new middle, merchant class. This emphasis on a newly-powerful group of people, though, was a catch-22. The medieval papacy,…

Watch any movie about a high school graduate going off to college for the first time. Mostly, enthusiastic freshmen are saying goodbye to teary eyed parents. The student will then show an initial struggle to orient themselves to college life. Ultimately, they rapidly become knowledgeable students, party attenders, and romantically involved. Nope, not even close to what college life is like. Students in high school leave with little or no understanding regarding how to be a college student. The…
