Evolution Of Profanity
... sexism, jealousy, profanity, satire, and controversy of
all kinds" (Macrone 6). In his time, religious and moral curses were
more offensive than biological curses. Most all original (before
being censored) Shakespearean works contain very offensive profanity,
mostly religious, which is probably one of many reasons that his works
were and are so popular. "Shakespeare pushed a lot of buttons in his
day- which is one reason he was so phenomenally popular. Despite what
they tell you, people like having their buttons pushed" (Macrone 6).
Because his works contained so many of these profane words or phrases,
they were censored to protect th ...

Crime
... “The average earned income in major league baseball is over $800,000 a season”(Fizel, 83), and some of these players just ride the pine all year. How is it fair that a man that can hit a ball four hundred feet to send a baseball out of the park make $30 million a season. Barry Bonds is truly a great athlete, but to be paid that much he should be able to hit home runs with his eyes closed. I know that these baseball stars bring in a lot of very good paying customers, and they like to watch the games. Then though, I could eat for a week on what they are charging to get into Wrigley Field with good seats for one game. If you will step back with me in time for a m ...

The Cheese We Eat
... world. Before the mechanical age
began cheese was mostly produced in the farmhouse. The farmer would milk
his cows and use some of the extra milk to make cheese. This way none of
the valuable nutrient was wasted, since milk cannot be stored and cheese
can. The oldest cheese making artifacts found date back from 2000 BC. It
is thought that man stumbled on cheese accidentally. It would have been
produced when milk being carried in the stomachs of cows reacted with
enzymes in the wall of the dead animals stomach. This reaction would
produce a cheese like curd.
It is the production of cheese in so many regions of the world that
created so many differen ...

Sexual Attitudes Have Changed
... Kinsey in the USA conducted a major investigation in the 1940's and 1950's of sexual behaviour and faced condemnation from many religious organisations for being immoral. He persisted and eventually obtained sexual life histories of 18,000 people. This showed a gap that can exist between publicly accepted attitudes and actual sexual behaviour.
Sexual attitudes had undoubtedly became more permissive over the last 30 years. The 1960's brought openly declared attitudes more into line with the realities of sexual behaviour. Social movements challenged the existing order of society. The 'New Left' and Hippie Lifestyles broke with existing sexual norms, free love ...

Illustrate How The Way People
... very much. For example, on the 7th month of Chinese Lunar calendar (Month of August), Chinese old folks believe that the gates of the hell will open to release dead souls and they are allowed to roam at the human world for one month. The Chinese believe that throughout this month, children and young toddlers alike should be kept from going out of the house, or the unrest souls will lure them to dead. Visiting the beach would not be allowed also, since there are many tragedies have taken place in the waters, and evil ghosts may be eager to take more lives. Besides that the people who is having a wedding or moving into new house during this period is considered ba ...

Ernest Sosa: Externalism
... conducive process. A belief is
weakly justified iff it is "blameless" (not the result of an intentional
mistake?) but ill-formed, and the believer is not aware that the belief is ill-
formed. A belief is superweakly justified iff the process that produces the
belief is unreliable but the subject did not intentionally come to hold the
belief because it was acquired unreliably. And, finally, a belief has strong
meta-justification iff the subject neither believes that nor can determine if
the belief is ill-formed (hence the "meta-" prefix), and the subject is aware of
the process by which he got the belief and that the process is reliable.
OK, seems reasonabl ...

John Locke: Property Rights
... the extent of this impact.
Locke was a micro based ideologist. He believed that humans were
autonomous individuals who, although lived in a social setting, could not be
articulated as a herd or social animal. Locke believed person to stand for,
“... a thinking, intelligent being, that has
reason and reflection, and can consider itself as itself, the same thinking
thing in different times and places, which it only does by that consciousness
which is inseparable from thinking.” This ability to reflect, think, and
reason intelligibly is one of the many gifts from God and is that gift which
separates us from the realm of the beast. The ability to reason and ...

Sim City Forever
... of a modern city. At the beginning of the game, the player is given three vital options. First, the player must decide what time period he/she wants the games to take place in. The times consist of 1900, 1950, or 2000. No matter where you have started, the game ends at the same point. Second, they must choose a size for their city.
