The Reformation period took place during 1300-1500 A.D. The Reformation was a response to the Roman Catholic Church which had become corrupt by its leadership and practices. This was also during the Renaissance era, which means “rebirth” (HIST 1). The Italian philosopher, Marsilio Ficino wrote, “If we are to call any age golden, it is beyond doubt that age which brings forth golden talents in different places. That such is true of this our age [no one] will hardly doubt.” This ushered in the age…

for the value of tolerance or the truth in descriptive moral relativism. But my argument will be against meta-ethical moral relativism: there exists moral truths but these truths are not absolutes but relative. If morality is relative, there is no ultimate right or wrong. Because, there isn’t an objective point of reference to differentiate between right and wrong. If one were to examine subjective morals, it could constitute two specific features - moral feelings and practical reasoning.…

Through his soliloquy, “To be or not to be” (III, i, 58), Hamlet reveals an enlightening first-hand view into his tumultuous life. Hamlet believes himself to be a man “more sinn’d than sinning” (III, ii, 1737) because of his ill-fated encumbrances and unfortunate circumstances.

evil is very present as Hopsin struggles to decide which path to follow and ultimately decided to stray from God. Next, Hopsin uses metaphors and examples from the bible to make his writing more effective and to exhibit his point. Finally, he uses ultimate questions which strongly convey his inner conflict to listener and which climatically lead to his final decision to leave his religious self behind. I believe the use of these themes and methods, especially the use of Hopsin’s talking directly…

Swift wrote a song titled “Love Story” that rewrites the plot of Romeo and Juliet to conclude with a happy ending. This essay attempts to address how Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a discursive model for the ultimate tragic romance that has shifted over time to stand in as, simply, the ultimate romance.
