... Beatrice Hahn of the University of Alabama. Her studies tracked HIV back to a virus that infects four sub-species of chimps that live in Africa. (AIDS came from Chimps, 1999) Hahn and her team studied frozen tissue from a chimp that died of complications at childbirth. In this frozen tissue their was the chimp version of the AIDS virus, called SIVcpz. The genes in SIVcpz are genetically similar to the AIDS virus. (AIDS came from Chimps, 1999) Chimps who have probably carried this virus for thousands of years do not get sick from it. Researchers are trying to find out why chimps are not effected by this virus, because it may lead to a cure. (Aids in Africa,1994) T ...

... to divide themselves based on economic status and social status. Those who were poor, homeless, or native to the land were outcasts within the community while the political and religious leaders enjoyed great popularity, wealth, and respect. People who weren't "in" did not have the same choices, opportunities, or advantages as the people of high status. These are among the reasons that the statement "After discovery and settlement, an individual in New Spain had even fewer choices and opportunities than that person would have had in his or her original culture." is absolutely true. When the situation in New Spain is viewed from the political aspect, the phrase " ...

... funded. In Quebec, general and vocational colleges (CEGEPs, or Colleges d'enseignement général et professionnel) are also publicly funded and require only a minimal registration fee. Most other post-secondary schools, however, charge tuition fees. A provincial responsibility Unlike many other industrialized countries, Canada has no federal educational system: the Constitution vested the exclusive responsibility for education in the provinces. Each provincial system, while similar to the others, reflects its particular region, history, and culture. The provincial departments of education--headed by an elected minister--set standards, draw up curriculums, and ...

... were above the poverty line, did not live in a slum, and had a decent occupation youre were almost expected to have a frescoe in your home. Frescoes were a form of painting where a painting was directly applied to a wall, often when the plaster was drying so it would become part of the plr and last nearly forever providing it were in the right conditions. Roman literature was also some of the greatest in history. It is often overlooked because it is compared only to Greek literature which the Romans tried to emulate. They did have their masterpieces though. The Ænid is arguably the greatist books in history. It is all to often thrown out as erotic garbage fro ...

... United States into the Korean War. And territorial disputes lay behind the Mexican-American and American Indian Wars. Like most countries, the United States, at different periods, has been victimized by the dark forces of war. Though reasons (or excuses) the American people have been given to the American people to justify military action were given before most of our wars, not every war has been popular. Ever since the Revolutionary War up until the Vietnam War, and even through to the Gulf War, public support has sequentially increased or decreased. For example, less than half of the early colonists backed America’s war of independence.1 According t ...

... each of the cities in the empire. Augustus turned our city of Rome from a city of brick into a city of marble as he liked to say. A building material was discovered and was used to make roads and bridges. This building substance was concrete. We figured out that if we mixed lime mortar, pour it into a wooden mold, and then wait for it to dry then we would have a substance that was as hard as stone. This was a new age for us because the concrete formed the backbone of Rome's bold architecture. This material was then covered with a costly material, usually marble, to look more decorative. This was used around the city and people claimed that it looke ...

... is over a vastly more important issue: who owes what to whom. This most hoary and basic of all social debates usually afforded reverence and inattention of great art: People know its there and mostly they ignore it”(Wines238). Society will constantly debate this issue. By very definition, however, there will also always be a wide spectrum of opinions because of social status. Naturally, the poor will always feel cheated because they feel as if opportunity never has and never will pass them by. The rich, conversely, will always feel as if they are doing society a great favor simply by having their wealth. Poor versus rich debates will never go away no matter how mu ...

... tool only truly necessary to those who were socially powerful. The later Roman education system was, although theoretically more accessible due to more schools, very similar to that of the Greeks. Those who were "truly educated" were well versed in Latin and were able to speak efficiently. However, when the Roman power system shifted from political to military, the valued vocation changed in correlation with the valued focus of education. The role of the orator diminished as the role of the soldier increased. In the Greco-Roman times education as an institution was geared to those with time and money, therefore few were able to partake. Clearly if only a small perc ...

... has gained the technology and capital that, over a period of time and development, improved its quality of life. Indian economy was transferred into a colonial economy whose nature and structure was determined by the needs of the British economy. High revenue demands and rigid manners of collection forced peasants into the clutches of the moneylenders. Expanding population put greater pressure on land as there was no corresponding development of industry. India "inherited" from Britian a cheap and easy system of transport was important for the flow of British ready made goods and the export of raw material to Britain on large scale. Roads were improved and ste ...
