When the 67-year-old Prince of Wales is crowned as the King, he now has the right to make her 68-year-old spouse his rightfully Queen. It has been said that the Duchess of Cambridge is afraid that…

When examining historical events, such as the Holocaust, it is imperative to be aware of the dangers of hindsight bias. Although one could look at the history of prejudice, discrimination, and violence toward Jews and assume that the Holocaust was an inevitable outcome of previous events, this teleology produces a far too simplistic explanation.

He names his barn horse Rocinante and swears his services to Dulcinea del Toboso, a farm girl who Don Quixote adores. He asks a neighboring peasant Sancho Panza to…

Throughout Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, written in the 18th century, she describes her character’s traits and personalities through their actions, responses, and mannerisms. At the beginning of chapter sixteen, Austen notes traits that reflect Mr. Collins’ behavior for an event occurring later in the book.

In religious terms ‘Jews’ designates people of whatever ethnic background who worships the God whose temple is in Jerusalem. A “Jew” is an inheritor of the father Israel and a “gentile” is any person who is not a Jew which means the rest of us. The term “Jew” and “Israelite” are used usually in Scripture.
