... as far back as Christopher Columbus and the founding of our country. He thought the native Americans that were already settled on his new land would serve his civilized people well as slaves. Even Columbus was discriminatory against people who were of a different race and way of life. Columbus has been blamed for "introducing slavery to the new world". But at the time, Columbus was commended for having done so. The racism did not end there. Discrimination was everywhere, but no person had the means to address it as a problem, or fight to end it. It wasn't until 1862 that a political fi ...

... lead the government and had supreme control over all of the verdicts and criminal accusations in Athens. Problems arose when aristocrats become jealous of one another and rivalries ensued under the early stages of Athenian democracy. The result of this jealousy was the establishment of a code written by the appointed ruler Draco. This code of laws promoted stability and equity. These laws however did more to hurt the democracy of Athens than to help it. It seems that Draco wrote this code of laws in order to benefit himself rather than to benefit the government of Athens. The democracy of Athens was used in m ...

... are able to interact with sales people and be able to get the highest quality of service. Technology may be an essential part of our lives, but it will never take over our daily lives. Computers are a valuable source of technology to humans these days. Everyday people use these machines to do their work, but when it comes down to shopping, it is a different experience. Shopping on the Internet may seem like an easy way out from the traffic and the crowded malls, but nothing can beat the hands on experience of shopping. Shopping in malls gives the consumers the chance of using their four out of five senses: to look, ...

... with the so called "new world order" planned out by Mr. Bush. With some other Central American countries in mind, we should be looking out for the intervention of the American CIA, which could show yet another example of American intervention to topple elected governments which do not fit to their standards or liking. Letter to the Editor, Re: How would Quebec's separation affect us? Watching the crumbling situation in Quebec, (almost crumbling literally, due to Olympic Stadium, the billion dollar fizzle) it is interesting to think what would happen if they did separate? Would Canadia ...

... it a hindrance to the establishment of stable households (266). Marriages certified by the state had their foundations not in religion or romance but in pragmatics-e.g., the joining of socially prominent households (266). At the beginning of the thirteenth century, facing schisms and heresies, and seeking to consolidate its power, the Catholic Church institutionalized marriage, confirming it as a sacrament and requring that a priest officiate-a crucial step in the intrusion of organized religion into what had previously been a private transaction (266). So instead of just having any person marry a couple yo ...

... 1858, in New York City. Roosevelt grew up with the challenges of asthma and poor eyesight, but did not let them keep him from his passions. Summers in Roosevelt¹s childhood were spent in the country. He enjoyed collecting live animals and hunting ³specimens² to study. At age eight, after obtaining a seal¹s skull, Roosevelt and two of his cousins started the ³Roosevelt Museum of Natural History.² The skull stayed on a bookshelf in the Roosevelt household throughout the remainder of his childhood, and items such as bird nests, insects, minerals, and shells were added to the Museum¹s collection. At age th ...

... they live, both in the field and at their home base. It is hard for a man or women to get undressed in front of someone of the same sex, that may be looking at them with different eyes. When I say different eyes I mean a man looking at a man and thinking wow he’s cute, or a women looking at a women and thinking the same thing. It would be very awkward for non-gay soldiers to deal with this problem. Any political issue deals with people, and the gays in the military controversy is no different. Joe Steffan was kicked out of Annapolis one week before graduation after revealing he was gay. Alan Schindler was a gay man ...

... gender have already been laid out and embedded in the minds of the teachers from their own teachers and parents while growing up. I think that teachers have many preconceived notions of the gender relations of their students. The teachers unknowing pass the ideas that they learned as a child onto their students, who also do not realize that it is being done to them. Peggy Orenstein very effectively tackles the question "are boys and girls treated differently in school?" (Italicized paragraphs 7). She concluded from her field studies in junior high schools that the teacher sometimes treats boys and girls differentl ...
