Egypt and Australia: The Power Behind European Domination Treading along the shore with Jared Diamond, New Guinean local politician Yali casually asks, "Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?" (Diamond 14) As a response to Yali, Jared Diamond first negates the assumption that the biological differences in humans from different parts of the globe affected the rate of development of their civilizations…

During 1938 in Switzerland, a man by the name of Dr. Albert Hofmann, discovered Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in the pharmaceutical-chemical department of Sandoz Laboratories. Hoffman hoped that this drug could be used to stimulate circulation and respiration, though this idea fortunately failed. He soon had forgotten about the new found drug, and didn’t utilize it for the next five years. In 1943, he continued to observe the drug, and by accidentally ingesting LSD he later experienced some…

Have you ever wondered about how people back then worked? Back then so many things were very different. It wasn’t easy as it is now. People that worked in the 1800 in Hawaii can show that. Plantation life in Hawaii in the 1800s was not easy. Living conditions were harsh, the reason why is because of living situations, racial and gender differences, and labor with working in the fields. Conditions were crowded. Often, two couples would share 10-foot-square room that had a kitchen and a home-made…

The Grizzly man also known as Timothy Treadwell thought he could be one with nature by going to Alaska and living with bears for 13 years. Some would consider him a transcendentalist like the writers Emmerson and Thoreau. Some would argue he is just a nut case playing with bears just like Thoreau was a loser who played in Emmerson’s back yard only to move back with his parents. Thoreau was so into nature he only lived about 2 miles from town. Some would consider Treadwell and Thoreau very…

The undignified treatment shown to women is seen most clearly through the lens of popular media (i.e. magazines, television, social media, etc.).

preached and how much I "thought" I knew all about its meaning. When I look back over my experiences I realize that many of our awesome preachers have all been focused on the returning son and never really given the older brother much thought. Author Timothy Keller has a very unusual and distinctive theological approach to presenting both sons as failures in the eyes of the Lord, which turns into a great lesson for the rulers of the day. I was very intrigued after getting through the first three…
