The Authority

Unit Paper #2 “Look into my eyes, tell me what you see. You don’t see a damn thing because you can’t relate to me. You blinded by our differences. My life makes no sense to you. I’m the persecuted one. You the red, white, and blue” (Outlandish 2005). As Americans, we are given the privilege of not fearing for our lives every waking moment. For many of us, our biggest concerns are quite miniscule. For instance, my biggest concern at the moment is if I’m going to pass my microbiology class…

In "The Nakba: The Palestinian Catastrophe of 1948," by Lost Islamic History, Palestinians consider the formation of Israel a catastrophe because it was built on the land owned by Palestinians. Also because Israel and Palestinians had different ideologies, it was harder for them to tolerate each other especially since they were so close. Another reason is because Israel organized groups to forcefully take the homes and belongings of Palestinians, leaving them miserable and homeless. Around the…

The Tale of Sinuhe is filled with Ideological underpinning of authority in ancient Egypt. Pharaoh is the monarch of the Egypt. An Egyptian community leader is the one to makes the decisions to benefit the country. Also a pharaoh needs to judge people’s action and redistribute wealth.

divergent outlooks of Nathan Bedford Forrest and Abraham Lincoln, similarities can be concluded from each man in regard to the Civil War. Within the Civil War, both men displayed a tremendous amount of authority over their subjects. However, Forrest and Lincoln portrayed and managed their authority in differing methods.

Argumentative Essay In discussions of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict one issue has been the rights to the land?

I do support the Israelis on retrieving their land if in fact it was theirs to begin with, but since there is no proof whose land…

This quote signifies everything wrong with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The Israelis and Palestinians have barely worked with each other, so they have not been able to make peace and they choose to remain enemies. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict had been on and off for 100 years. After World War II, six million Jews were killed, and the remaining…

The purpose of this essay is threefold: first, to explore exactly why this war was fought in the…
