feelings, and personal boundaries. That is why some people respond to conflict in a bad way. There is a better way to respond to conflict even in the hardest of times. Examples of how to respond to conflict in a good way are in these two selections. Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl and "Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat." Simply being a more positive person can help someone respond better to conflict. The main reason why people respond to conflict in a negative way is because they perceive it as…

Starting in the late 1929’s and lasting till about the outbreak of World War II in 1929. The Great Depression and the Stock Market Crash were the worst world wide crisis’ of the modern industrial era. The crash of the stocks was the most famous financial collapse. For eighty years now assumptions and analysis have been made about what went so horribly wrong. It took people awhile to figure it out because it’s not about who did what; it was a chain reaction by the faults of many people. People…

Even during PaxRomana (A long period from Augstus to Marcus Aurelius when the Roman empire was stable and relativly peaceful) there were 32,000 prostitutes in Rome. Emperors like Caligula and Nero became infamous for wasting money on lavish parties where guests drank and ate until they became sick. The most popular amusement was watching the gladiatorial combats in the Colosseum. There were many public health and environmental problems. Many of the wealthy had water brought to their homes…

After retiring from performing for a live crowd, Gould focused on studio recordings and radio shows. His anxiety while performing at concerts did not disappear after his retirement from stage, instead it shifted to the studio. In addition since he possessed limited amounts of education, Gould resorted to using sophisticated terms while conversing with others. Sadly, often what he said make very little sense as he used these words in the wrong context (Ostwald, 225). This in turn, affected his…

The Great Depression was the economic slump that began on October 29, 1929, which occurred after the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street crashed. Since many European countries were dependent on US loans, this recession spread into Europe and lasted nearly a decade. It caused unprecedented levels of poverty, hunger, unemployment and political unrest. In Germany, this meant that the US asked the banks and businesses to repay the money they had borrowed at high rates of interest. It also…

The Fall of The House of Usher, was not a disappointment. The short story was another tale that Edgar Allen Poe captured his gloomy, dark, and unsettling way. At times I am thankful that I left the lights on while reading this story right before bed as I am easily prone to bad dreams. From the beginning, of the first paragraph I was entrapped by Poe’s description of his ride to the House of Usher. His descriptive words make the picture so clear in my mind that I can almost see myself riding…

In this chapter, Sarah had died and Abraham is finding a proper place to bury her. I am thankful to God that we live in in a world where there are sin and death, but because of Jesus, we can enter into heaven when we die. I am also so grateful that God has allowed us to be with Him for eternity when we pass just like Sarah and I think that is amazing in its self. In this chapter, it shows how Abraham took care of his son, by finding the right women to marry him. Abraham believed the promise God…

This story is about philosophical and intellectual infatuation, and consequently it isn’t action packed. The two lovers constantly communicate through letters for over a year of time. The connections they make are deep enough for them to take it a step further and consider marriage. I, sometimes, relate to such connections, which are not necessarily romantic, even via modern texting and emailing. These emotions and deep connections, to me, are determined by things such as usage of emoticons, to…

Dear Your Holiness, Galileo studied Copernicus’s theory about how the sun and other planets circulate around us. So then Galileo wanted to see for himself, he made his improved telescope and took a look at jupiter, then made a discovery of four planets that are circling around it. Galileo wrote many books as well and published them, most of them were about his theories and inventions. Galileo had made many discoveries and many inventions. He made mostly inventions because, after being banned…

On some regards, salvation is still a mystery. Though some people accept the Gospel, many reject it. Why? After all, everyone has the same heart. “The heart is deceitful, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9, NKJV) Why is it that two cities, Athens and Corinth, responded so differently to Paul’s message? On the surface, personal corruption seems to be the answer, yet the difference may be from God Himself. Athens was a city of intellectual galore. Their livelihood was…
