A Common Life Shared Among Three Faiths In chapter 17 of ‘A Vanished World,’ Chris Lowney talks about “A Common Life Shared among Three Faiths.” The discussion entails analysis of the scope of potential coexistence among Muslims, Christians, and Jews in the turbulent Spanish world in the middle ages. Lowney explores the existing degree of mistrust among the three religious communities. The Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 defined the dress codes and other styles for Jews and Muslims (Lowney 205). Vatican principles set the roles and moral responsibilities of the Christian leaders. However, some monarchs despised the Church’s order despite the Church’s demand. The actions of defiance were mostly related to economic factors rather than egalitarian and noble decisions. Spanish leaders shied away from connecting to their Muslim and Jewish subjects in the struggle to safeguard their natural abilities and skills. Despite their religious differences, the three religious communities had similar interests that brought them together to cultivate unity in society. The discussion provides significant insight into the relationship between the three central religious communities. Lowney explores the challenges…
how I obtained the knowledge of heroism over one semester For the one-pager of how I obtained the knowledge of heroism over one semester, I attained two quotes from talented people that explain how courage and the act of being selfless are valued traits in the interpretation of heroism. I chose a quote and the scene of Polyphemus vs. Odysseus from the Odyssey that shows courage in a valuable way. “Courage-no panic, no one hang back now!… I dragged the stake from the flames… straight into the monster’s eye…However, I was already plotting…” (223-224). Throughout the Odyssey, the main protagonist (Odysseus) tries to return homeward after fighting in a ten-year-old war, but as legends go, the path was not straight. He had to go through many obstacles and was tested not only physically but also mentally. To overcome these challenges, Odysseus inhibits a considerable amount of courage and uses it to challenge monsters and not to give up. To demonstrate this, I placed pictures of the sinister journey back on the border to show how difficult it is to be…
Jerusha, a feminist heroine. Daddy-long-legs by Jean Webster is a tale of Jerusha Abbott, who has been brought up in an orphanage. According to the orphanage policies, when a student completed high school, he was required to leave the orphanage, but Jerusha was an exception because she was allowed to extend her stay for two years (Webster 12). Daddy-Long-Legs is a novel that emphasizes on female education and female voice. Most of the trustees who visited the orphanage only supported boys, and this shows that girl’s education during that time was not considered necessary. Jerusha is a feminist heroine because she became the first girl to be sponsored by the benefactor to go to college. When Mrs. Lippett calls her to the office, she says to Jerusha, “the letters you will write describe your studies progress will be addressed to Mr. John Smith and they will be sent in care of the secretary”( Webster 13). Jerusha’s academic excellence and hard work made the headmistresses refer her to the benefactor who she nicknamed “Daddy-Long-Legs.” Webster’s novel combines the features of the…

Article Review on Lymphatic Filariasis (Elephantiasis) Elimination: A public health success and development opportunity David Molineux in his article “Lymphatic Filariasis (Elephantiasis) Elimination: A public health success and development opportunity” he bases his arguments on the approaches which have been adopted in different countries to eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis. He argues that despite of the achievements which have been made to eliminate the disease being looked down upon, the program has registered a remarkable progress from the year 2000 where treatments were 2 million to 60 million in 2002. Different countries are said to have expressed their interest in the programme and therefore expected to expand more and more.

The article has also presented this programme as beneficial…
Rhetorical Analysis of Smarter Than You Think The advent of computer technology and diversification of its services has led to multiple criticisms on how it has destroyed Millenials and increased dependency on its services. One factor that has been blamed on the internet and computers is continued decline in the reading culture in America. Critics also add that computers and the internet have created a generation of lazy people who spend a lot of time on computer screens than actually living. However, Clive Thompson has a lot of praise for computers since the author believes that computers have enhanced intelligence rather than erode it. In his opinion, Clive Thompson states that cooperation between computers and humans promises more intelligent human beings. Social media is one of the aspects of computers that Clive Thompson praises as contributing to increased intelligence in human beings. According to this author, social media enhances creativity among its ardent users. He notes that social media facilitates collaboration on a global level that increases an individual’s knowledge horizons. Clive Thompson adds that social media users have more…
Separation of Power and Checks and Balances The separation of power, as well as the existence of checks and balances, was indeed valid. Even though not all may agree but the form of government that was proposed by Madison in conjunction with other federalists has much value than the counter-offer that was being given by those who were pro the centralized government. Leadership is about roles, responsibilities, and accountability. To whoever a responsibility has been bestowed, several things would expect of them. Even though the government is working as a unit in that all arms of government are supposed to work together, there is a need to ensure that each unit of government is held accountable, and this can only be done when there is the separation of powers as well as checks and balances. The government is organized in the form of three arms. There is the judiciary, the Congress as well as the Executive. Congress is the one that is mandated in the making of the laws. There are cases where the laws that are made are indeed…

Palaeolithic archaeologists are trained to recover and sort ancient material residues, and their interpretative frameworks stem primarily from cultural anthropology Reading 1 Thesis: “Palaeolithic archaeologists are trained to recover and sort ancient material residues, and their interpretative frameworks stem primarily from cultural anthropology.” (pg 17, paragraph 1) Human paleontologist attributes morphological changes to natural science or gene flow. Paleontologists do reject biological explanations for the behavioral difference in modern humans. Cultural explanations downplay archeological evidence that human behavior grew with time. Reading 2 Thesis: “these creatures are not the missing link we know from so many sci-fi tales” (pg 25, paragraph 1) They had no resemblance to humans, chimpanzees, or the hominin lineages. They had skills that set them apart from other primates These groups gave rise to other population of ape-like creatures Discussion The article by Richard Klein (2000) looks at archeology as the study of human behavior via the things we depend on for survival as well as material culture. The author notes that changes in behavior were among the fundamental factors in human evolution; thus,…
