Act 1 Richard III             Act One, Scenes One and Four of the Richard III by Shakespeare, is the passage I find more educative. The two scenes of Act one depicts thematic issues such as greed for power, betrayal, justice, man and the natural world, and hypocrisy. The themes set the mood of the play and are a reflection of the current world. Act 1 introduces us to Richard, Edward’s brother, whom Shakespeare portrays as a hunchback with a deformity “Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time.” Richard is the villain in this play who manipulates, betrays, and murders people in his pursuit of the throne. He associates his determination to prove a villain on his deformity. His monologue reveals his plot to kill Clarence, his brother, as well as King Edward, who is ailing by setting them against each other. In scene one, Clarence, Richard’s brother, is brought before him accompanied by Brankenbury following his arrest as a command from King Edward. Clarence claims that the King hears a prophecy of a person…

Josiah Henson  Josiah Henson was born in June 1789 into slavery in Charles County, Maryland. He was later sold to another slave owner called Isaac Riley while he was still a child. He was separated from his mother but later re-united after he fell sick. His mother had brought him up strong and had some Christian background. From an unusually young age, Henson showed commitment and robustness in his work. Sometimes, he would encourage the other slaves to work harder and for longer hours to earn a kind word from their master. He was regarded as intelligent among other slaves, for he had an intellectual capacity and resilience that surpassed other slaves in the estate. I agree with the suggestions that the Henson family’s story contains much of what slavery and freedom looked like for Black people. The family name Henson was given to them by Dr. McPherson, who was their owner. As a child and even later in life, Henson and his family suffered the typical hardships that every slave went through. The author notes that the only recollection…

The Impact of Byzantine and Roman Worlds to African Art The Byzantine is part of the Roman Empire, which shared similar cultural aspects with the rest of Rome. Their art was mainly religious, featuring messages that connected to the Roman Catholic Church until the split experienced in the 11th Century (Cormack, 2018). Byzantine and Roman worlds, therefore, focus on making religious-related pieces that connect to what the rest of the world experiences. Africa also paid attention to religion as they worshipped their traditional gods, and also, later on, adopted Christianity passed through by missionaries. The impact of Byzantine and Roman regions towards African art is, therefore, evident through the kind of sculptures, mosaics, paintings, and woodwork that the people produced concerning their gods and powerful beings (Cothren & Stokstad, 2018). The factor of religion borrowed from Byzantine art profoundly influences Egyptian and began to show it mainly through statues and sculptures as well as a mosaic in their temples. The artwork praises their different gods for the roles they played in society. Some of these gods featured included Ma’at, Hery,…

Spirituality in Nursing Religion and spirituality have close relations but distinct meanings. Religion refers to a set of organized beliefs and practices shared by a group of people (Zaidi, 2018). This statement implies that individuals in faith share a standard set of values and ways of life. The common forms of religion include Christianity, Islamic, Hinduism, and Judaism. However, spirituality is a more personal practice that gives an individual a sense of purpose and peace (Zaidi, 2018). In this case, spirituality depends on what a person considers being moral. This aspect may vary among those people show to share a religion. Therefore, spirituality refers to a more individualized set of beliefs when compared to religion. Religion and spirituality differ in terms of beliefs and practices. According to Van Niekerk (2018), faith is an organized approach to the mystical reality through human activities. People develop different ways to approach the free environment. In their struggles, they experience strange influences that manifest in various deities. For instance, different religions have unique divine beings like God, Yahweh, Zeus, and Allah, among others (Van…

Shiite and Sunni Islam Groups Islam is the second-largest religion in the whole world after Christianity. The followers of the Islamic faith make up close to twenty-five percent of the total world population. There are also two primary denominations, that is, Sunni and Shia. Of the one point seven Muslims around the world, the estimated number of Sunni people accounts for about eighty-five to ninety percent. This case means that Shiites are in the minority. Initially, the two groups were one under the prophet Muhammad. However, there erupted a lot of disputes over belief systems and political warfare. These began in 632 A.D, following the death of Muhammad (Holtmann, 2014). Muhammad did not select a successor before his death. After, a dispute arose as to who should take over. The contest was between his son in law Ali, who had married his stepdaughter Fatima, or his most trusted companion, Abu Bakr (Coughlin, 2020). A meeting of tribal leaders, shura decided on Abu Bakr after a lengthy process. The process resulted in more fighting and the eventual split of the groups.…

 Great Awakening In the 1720’s the Great Awakening occured, this was a time of religious reintroduction that affected English colonies in America. The Great Awakening began because civilians became curious about their individual role in religion (Kelly, Martin). Biblical leaders traveled through multiple towns, preaching about the gospel and the importance of salvation (“Great Awakening”). This began to undervalue authority of the church doctrine whereas it was wanted to put a urgent attention on an individual’s divine involvement (Kelly, Martin). The First Great Awakening, also called the Enlightment, in which was a European movement. This was introduced to the colonies when colonist crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the American colonies (“Great Awakening”). During this time it was emphasized the power of the individual to understand the universe based on scientific laws, while they downplayed religion (Kelly, Martin).

Cultural Causes of the Decline of the Western Roman Empire The decline of the Western Roman Empire was the fall in which the Western Roman Empire did not oblige to its rule. This led to the division of the territory into smaller successor polities (Arnold, 2014). The decline is attributed to social, cultural, and economic causes. Some of these reasons are also related to state failure in the modern world (Arnold, 2014). The main aim of this essay is to discuss the cultural causes leading to the decline of the Western Roman Empire including, the invasion of the Barbarians during the migration period and the transformations away from the traditions. The Barbarian kingdoms invaded the Roman Empire together with the Goths, and it led to a tremendous territorial loss. Their increasing pressure for the west made it difficult for them to be expelled. The western roman emperor had limited political and military power (Arnold, 2014). Also, the available armed forces in the Empire seemed ineffective. The Germanic barbarians conquered the Empire and established its cities in most areas making the…
