My best friend, Alyssa, identifies as Greek Orthodox, so, over Spring Break, I attended a service with her. She belongs to Assumption Greek Orthodox church in Des Peres. Greek Orthodox is a denomination within Christianity. In the past, I have been to several Greek Festivals and large gatherings with her, so I was slightly familiar with the Greek atmosphere and culture. At the festivals there was a lot of Greek food, crafts, and dancing. The people are extremely proud of their Greek heritage and…

Maria Shaw’s argues in her article that the Priest-King depicted in the fresco described has just won a tournament and has been labeled as the “athlete of the year”. So goes on far enough to say that he could even have been the “missing Minoan ruler”, and finishes with the idea that these sports (such as bull-leaping, boxing, and acrobats) were the precursor to later Greek Olympic games. The three broad forms of evidence she references are the fragments and restorations, the architectural and…

I’ve observed a lot in my 17 years of living, the good, the bad, the happy, and the very sad. Growing up in the inner city areas, of Richmond California, I have seen plenty of starving people struggling to get their next meal. I feel like there’s way too much food in this country for anybody to be starving, and I see so much waste. I’m not talking about someone being hungry, but I’m talking about the people that don’t know where their next meal is going to come from. People who are malnourished…

even more so that to Poe. Nonetheless it seems that Wilde himself was a true fan of Poe, in his letter ‘De Profundis’ Wilde writing to Lord Alfred Douglas states that he is not ashamed of the actions which led him to prison, instead insisting “Dumas pére, Cellini, Goya, Edgar Allan Poe or Baudelaire would have done just the same”. (Wilde, 2003, 1042) Wilde’s need to justify his own life and actions against…

I feel particularly ashamed that I wasn 't able to read the book of Karl Marx “Capital” ( 1 st edition, 1867) until now.

The work of Karl Marx is the culmination of classical political economy, he had a…
