... states were originally governed by kings; because the Hellenes were under royal rule before they came together, as the barbarians still are. Every family is ruled by the eldest, and therefore in the colonies of the family the kingly form of government prevailed because they were of the same blood. As Homer says: Each one gives law to his children and to his wives. For what each thing is when fully developed, we call its nature, whether we are speaking of a man, a horse, or a family. Besides, the final cause and end of a thing is the best, and to be self-sufficing is the end and the best. Hence it is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is ...

... violence and children has been shown. Some are trying to fight this problem. Others are ignoring it and hoping it will go away. Still others don't even seem to care. However, the facts are undeniable. The studies have been carried out and all the results point to one conclusion: Television violence causes children to be violent and the effects can be life-long. The information can't be ignored. Violent television viewing does affect children. The effects have been seen in a number of cases. In New York, a 16-year-old boy broke into a cellar. When the police caught him and asked him why he was wearing gloves he replied that he had learned to do so to not leave fin ...

... This leads to the question, “Is it dangerous to think to much?” Is it sometimes better to let things be, in order to keep the peace? One of the many charges brought against Socrates was the charge of corrupting the youth with his teachings. Instead of letting the laws govern their lives, he was attempting to show his pupils ways of rationalizing their own world. God originally gave mankind free will so that we would not become a bunch of robots walking around doing his bidding, and yet this is what traditions were doing. The customs of early Athens were limiting on what a person could or could not believe. Socrates believed independent thought in itsel ...

... you. Don't shut your self from the real world and glance at the rich and famous. They are nothing but the minority, look at what is surrounding you. Go ahead and take a walk down an inner city street if you dare, where the homeless sprawl across sidewalks and children roam the streets like wild dogs. The real world is lying right under there feet. We are starting to believe that the poor will always be with us, its something we must learn to live with. So we build more prisons and hire more police to protect us from the underclass. Unfortunately we forgot to ask ourselves a very important question, is that the way to cooperate with the poor? It is not th ...

... food industry has made many attempts to advertise as many different ways so they can possibly get the consumers to buy their products. Through commercials on televisions and radios, advertising in the newspapers and magazines, advertising has made it possible for most people to go in the restaurant or store and to buy their products. Advertisement contains a lot of false promise. Advertisement may contain a lot of satisfaction, happiness and exaggeration. But people tend to become subcontious with that advertisement. The viewers would often feel like he or she wants to be associated with the advertisement. To make the consumers feel they are associated with ...

... high prices for something as intangible as a smell. Puzzles by my own inexplicable fondness for aftershave, I've spent sometime researching our culture's partiality to perfume. Evern if you're someone who doesn't especially like to dabble Chanel or Pole behind your ears, you probably smell someone else's fragrance everyday. Or maybe yor use a product made with perfumes- such as soap, facial tissue, insecticides, or even cattle feed. With that in mind, we'll first discuss the ingredients of perfume and then we'll examine some of the new commercial applications of perfume Let's start with the ingrediets. Quite likely, you think of perfume only as a smelly liqui ...

... falls with the water level, opening the water supply inlet valve just as the outlet is being closed. Water flows through the bowl refill tube into the overflow pipe to replenish the trap sealing water. As the water level in the tank nears the top of the overflow pipe, the float closes the inlet valve, completing the cycle. From the oldest of gadgets in the bathroom, let's turn to one of the newest, the toothpaste pump. Sick and tired of toothpaste squeezed all over your sink and faucets? Does your spouse never ever roll down the tube and continually squeezes it in the middle? Then the toothpaste pump is for you! When you press the button it pushes an internal ...

... receiving -- or distorting, or losing -- signals of varying import and value. This plot -- the plot of signals that are launched on perilous Odyssean journeys, and that reach home, if they do, only through devious paths -- parallels and augments the novel's more central journeys, its dangers encountered, and its successful returns. ULYSSES works rather neatly as a cybernetic allegory, in fact, not only in its represented action, but also in its history as a text. The book itself, that is, has reached us only by a devious path around Cyclopean censors and the Scylla and Charybdis of pirates and obtuse editors and publishers. ULYSSES both retells and re-enacts, that ...

... is also seen. One thing present in Luther’s views that was also present in Calvin’s views was the neglect ion of the power of the Church and its clergymen. Laws, rules, or regulations, which were set by the Church were not obeyed by Lutherans or Calvins. However, when the idea of the separation of Church and State aroused, the two were in opposition. Luther felt that a separation of Church and State must be present, but the loyalty of the people should be evident to both parties. Luther also explained that the Church is subordinate to the State, which Calvin greatly disagreed with. Calvin believed that there should not be a separation of Church and State ...

... we see people voyaging to America in search of a new life and new opportunities. Whether it be the Puritans escaping religious persecution, the Colonists in search of a new crop to make them rich, or immigrants looking for a better place to live and raise their children, all are given a chance to achieve the goals they have set for themselves in America. For example, when the Puritans came to America in search of religious freedom, they were given the opportunity to start fresh and practice their faith; most of them cherished this occasion and eventually achieved spiritual fulfillment. Of course, this achievement was not effortless: the Puritans demanded more ...
