... commended this because he was a strong believer in national unity. He believed that everything should be nationalized because putting state authority above national authority would be "the main instrument by which our government is sought to be overthrown." The blacks at this time were persistently struggling for their civil rights. They declared that they should have the privilege of voting because they fought in the war to preserve the union. In a petition, American citizens of African descent stated that " It (the government) can afford to trust him with a vote as safely as it trusted him with a bayonet." At this ...

... for bravery. At the end of the war Hitler decided to take up politics. By 1921 he was already the founding leader of the Nazi party. Hitler was an incredibly racist man and he had a great hate for Jews. By 1933, Hitler gained political power by winning the election. Soon after he made himself absolute dictator, calling himself the Fuhrer which means "Leader". By the end of the 30's he was already sending Jews off too concentration camps to meet a horrible death. I believe that Hitler was one of the greatest causes of World War 2. Although there are many other reasons, he was definitely one of them. An ...

... pure and good. However, a serpent was present in the place where God had put the man and woman. The serpent was evil and it persuaded the woman and man to disobey God's wishes. The human's role in the Hebrew story was to multiply, be fruitful, and rule all things on the earth. The Hebrew story consisted of only one god, unlike the other stories in which there were many gods, who had a distinct power. The human's role in this creation story is to multiply and rule, whereas, humans in the other stories are ruled by the gods or humans are not even mentioned at all. This story is like the other creation stories be ...

... Ogoni for what is, by right, Ogoni land has resulted in extreme tension in the area and the severe punishment of the community. Shell has been operating in the Niger Delta since 1958. In its thirty-six years of operations, rather than setting standards and promoting a positive relationship with local people, as well as sound environmental and social policies, the company seemingly has done little. The importance of Nigeria's oil to Shell cannot be underestimated, accounting for almost 14% of the company's production which equates to the greatest production outside of the USA. Therefore, both Shell and the N ...

... of using pictures to represent things can be traced all the way back to caveman times, but the main influence for the Egyptians came from the land of Sumer. In fact, the beginning of Egyptian civilization was very similar to that of the Sumerians. By 500 b.c., farming settlements were established all along the Nile River (Warburton, 69). Civilization in Egypt brought problems similar to those that arose in Sumer, but it was the growing government bureaucracy, not business, that created the need for writing, and the eventual development of hieroglyphics. Because the Nile flooded every year, the Egyptian farmer ...

... killed him will also be killed for sure. Some of the “gangster� words are now used in every day speech such as enforcer, the man who does al the “dirty work�; knock off and take care of ,both meaning to kill; and doing hard time, which is being behind bars or in prison. These words have become commonplace. It is also possible that they were commonplace and “the Mob� sort of took them as their own. There are also saying used by gangsters to explain things.

Some Mausoleums had kitchen facilities and eating areas for these occasions. Most Romans belonged to a funeral club. These were ...

... did they know, as a result of the war, total war broke out and crushed all the hopes and accomplishments that the people had established. This shocking reality was unbearable and uncomprehending to the people's hopes and dreams. And as this lasted over the years, the age of anxiety was created. People didn't know or what to expect anymore. They did not know what was going to happen after the war. They're so devastated by the war that many who were still alive lost faith and all hopes. Many intellectuals began to doubt the Enlightenment and even the future of Western civilization. This state of uncertainty and u ...

... education. In Erasmus's book "The Abbot and the Learned Lady", The church's position on this issue says that education does not protect the chastity that was necessary for women. There were still, however, a certainty that women could and should be educated. For example, in Castiglione's book "The Courtier", it is stated that women are capable of everything that men are. Also, Roger Ascham has described his female student(the future Queen Elizabeth I) as equally bright as any other male student of his. Furthermore, in a letter by the poet Louise Labe`, she states a need for women to "raise their head above their s ...
