However, in The Odyssey Homer portrays women differently than other men in his time. Due to this new outlook, women play…

Police officers have more powers than the average citizen; they have the power to arrest, seize property, and use deadly force. Many officers have abused these powers, and when they do, you would think they would be fired and prosecuted, right? Wrong. In most of these cases, officers have only been suspended or given probation, this seems like a minor punishment for such an unjustifiable crime. Police officers have gotten above the law and are now able to abuse their powers as they wish. When…

forecasting began with early civilizations using reoccurring astronomical and meteorological events to help them monitor seasonal changes in the weather (Griffin, 2005). During the 1800s, weather observations began to grow and expand across the United States (Uccellini, 2015). During the 19th century weather observations from distant points could be rapidly collected and analyzed at one location (Uccellini, 2015).

The United States and Russia maintain roughly 1,800 of their weapons on high-alert status”…

is a net zero emission. This is possible. We need the United States government to implement a plan to have zero gasoline and diesel powered vehicles on the road. Pollution regulations need to be raised on businesses. Finally, the way our homes and businesses are powered needs to be switched over to eco-friendly methods such as hydro, wind, or solar power. Understandably so, this will take time and a significant amount of money. Again, I state that I am a Republican and generally believe in low…

Abigail Williams defines this description of an accuser in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Abigail Williams immorally accuses others of witchcraft in order to gain power, which is her motive for vengeance and her desire to be accepted for who she is, contrasting the ideal image of a powerless Puritan woman in society. This rise to power in order to gain attention in society thus creates an outbreak of social hysteria evident in the play. Women in all societies are submissive to their husbands.…
