In the Inferno of Dante, which depicts an allegorical journey through Hell, Dante is guided by Virgil through each canto of sins. As Dante travels through the levels of Hell, parallels between the physical and the spiritual are made. Dante parallels his physical journey into the Inferno with his spiritual journey into the individual. The further Dante travels in Hell is like one getting deeper and lost in his own mind. Desire and lack of the knowledge of truth consumes and destroys us so that we…

The Naturalism and Realism era was a time period where writers focused on applying scientific principals to study human beings. This movement was most prevalent in the late 19th century through the early 20th century. Within this window a writer that stood out to me was Stephen Crane and specifically his piece “The Open Boat”.

When a transverse wave is a high point is called a crest, and when it's on a low point is called trough. An example of a transverse wave could be a ripple on a pond.

popular among rightist Catholics, there is a straight line from Luther to the French Revolution, Marx, and Lenin; the other one, enthusiastically affirmed by many Reformed Christians, claims that Luther and Calvin are responsible for democracy, republicanism, freedom, Enlightenment, progress, individualism, and perhaps also socialized medicine, psychoanalysis, "freelove" and the Manchester School of Economics. These concepts are not so different because mutually the one is the caricature of the…

The embryonic development period between three and eight weeks are when the most birth defects occur, but pregnant women are advised not to consume alcohol during their entire pregnancy due to the adverse effects that alcohol can have on their child2.

Our Relationship with Nature: Do children suffer from “Nature-Deficit Disorder?” Nature can be defined as the natural resources that have been on earth for several years such as trees, the ocean, animals, sand, the desert and so on. In our technological era, we have neglected the true understanding of nature. The genuineness of nature is when we are emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually engaged with the natural world around us; it is also when we can touch and use our senses with…

“Addiction is a family disease; one person may use but the whole family suffers.” (Shelly Lewis) Growing up in a family where both of your parents battle the disease of alcoholism is something no one should ever have to deal with.

This topic is something I struggle with every day, talking about it is something I struggle with too. I’m not asking…

What is meant by “agonist and antagonist muscle pairs”? Give an example What is meant by agonist in muscle pairs is that it does the majority of the workload in an exercise and is considered the prime mover (primarily responsible for movement). The antagonist in respect to the agonist counteracts. The antagonist helps allow the agonist to perform a task. An example could be the biceps brachii contracts when doing elbow flexion. While the antagonist would be the triceps brachii relaxing during…
