Many people argue with the viewpoint on the despotism of Parliamentary Policies. Some argue that the British imperial policies towards America were set in place to rob Americans from their natural rights, basically enslaving them. Others argue that it was a convenient idea to justify rebellion for self-serving reasons. I believe that the parliamentary policies robbed Americans from their natural rights. The British policies were irrational for Americans giving them the right to start an American…

How did the Confederate States of America lose the Civil War? Though a stimulating question that deserves contemporary debate, many historians claim the reason the Confederacy lost the war is based on southern resources, military strategy, civilian leadership or the institution of slavery. However, while all explanations can be classified as valid reasons as to why the Union won and the Confederacy lost, the case can be made that all four reasons were significant causes to the final result of…

at a very young age. Probably the most ironic thing, as well as unfortunate, is the fact that when he died he truly believed that once his life was over, no one would remember him or his poetry. He even had the words, “Here lies one whose name was writ in water” engraved on his headstone. However, today we consider him to be one of the most famous English poets. Although he is important in literature today, it is sad that he did not get the recognition he deserved during his short…

Capabilities of Women, Or, the Dual Aspasia As literacy and questions of equality rose, many began to question the values they held, and to varying degrees argue for the discrepancies between race, class and very importantly, sex. Both Mary Wollstonecraft and Hannah More can, and should, be seen as the dialectical evolution of femininity in literature, and more importantly, in the social consciousness. Their efforts despite opposing views helped to steer the conversation on “where” all women…

This dream is for romantics and lovers. Certainly the dream isn’t the sum of the colorful patterns of Hawaiian shirts, coconut bras and grass skirts alone. It’s not in the Pina Colada, or the Surfer on Acid. The boutiques of Waikiki teeming with Japanese tourists, those we can ignore all together, laugh at their circumstance. The accoutrements of hustle and bustle such as these have all been and will continue to be part of the Great Marketing image of a Paradise, and everyday life grows like…

Eyewitness testimony is being able to choose the suspect out of a lineup or an array of photos. Sometimes the witnesses' testimony is not always accurate. When a witness falsely testifies they can send an innocent person to prison. An example of a case where the eyewitness testimony was incorrect was in the murder of 78-year-old Jack Sasson. The man who was convicted of the murder of Mr. Sasson was 18-year-old Kash Register. On April 6, 1979 in the middle of the afternoon, a 78-year-old…

People can often be fooled into thinking their weaknesses are what empowers them. Their minds convince them that the things they use as crutches are the only thing that enables them to stand. In Arthur Millers the Crucible, he communicates through the characters that false self-righteous portrayals lead to an overall struggle of facing the truth. The theme of cowardice versus bravery is consistently evident through characters such as Reverend Hale, Abigail Williams and Danforth. It is presented…
