.... allowed to study religion, history, art, poetry, architecture, music, and dance. This education was for the sole purpose of making women a toy for the entertainment of men. In physical appearance, women were to be everything that a man was not. They were to be soft and tender, rather that solid and sturdy. In public a man should make his presence known, whereas a woman should be passive and try not to draw attention to herself. For women, beauty was seen as the most important feature. This goes on to show how women were simply objects of affection for fulfilling the pleasures of men. Many humanists viewed women with distrus .....

.... There are, as Huston Smith tells us, four paths to the goal. The yogas are the specific direction taken to unleash the human potential of Moksha. The goal of the yogas is to come in to and remain in touch with Brahman. The first way to God is through knowledge. The three steps taken on this path is learning, thinking, and the third, a little more complex, consists of separating one’s material ego form one’s Atman. The second way to God is through love. The love we show to others can be translated into a love for God. The third path to God is though work. Through a devotion to one’s work, God can be seen through the highes .....

.... hundred years later in 1785 the word power carried the same meaning of control, strength, and force, "power to produce an effect, supposes power not to produce it; otherwise it is not power but necessity" (OED 2536). This definition explains how the power government or social institutions rests in their ability to command people, rocks, colonies to do something they otherwise would not do. To make the people pay taxes. To make the rocks form into a fence. To make the colonists honor the King. The colonialists adopt this interpretation of power. They see power as a cruel force that has wedded them to a King who has "a h .....

.... a few southern white plantation owners and that most of the white population was unaffected by it. The author spends nearly half of his thirty-seven paragraph article displaying the past and present attitudes of the general population through several case studies which he lists chronologically and explains in brief detail. He tries to discredit a handful of them while, at the same time, injecting his own views. In an attempt to persuade the reader he sets up his side of the debate by citing a few case studies that promote his hypothesis and concludes by relating some of his own opinions and findings including a study where he m .....

.... life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But the men who wrote and supported this revolutionary declaration of separation from the British did not believe that this equality applied to the slaves. This statement is supported in the Dred Scott decision. This is something that the Southern states would argue, that the men who built this nation like George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay and John Marshall all had slaves. They would argue that men like Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, defenders of American democracy, owned slaves. Even though it’s not .....

.... Chambers accused Alger Hiss, a high State Department official, of being a Communist. Nixon, a member of the Un-American Activities Committee, personally pressed the investigation. Hiss denied further charges that he had turned classified documents over to Chambers to be sent to the USSR. Alger Hiss was later convicted and indicted for perjury after sufficient evidence was discovered. Nixon was reelected to Congress after winning both the Republican and Democratic nominations as a result of gaining a national reputation as a dedicated enemy of Communism. In 1950, Nixon was chosen as candidate for the US Senate from California .....

.... such as oil-well fire smoke, vaccines, or chemical agents. Originally, the cause of these various symptoms was assumed to be post-traumatic stress, but the persistent and varied nature of the symptoms resisted that label. Pressure from veterans has prompted the government to investigate further the possible causes of the illness: were the troops exposed to Iraqi chemical and biological weapons? Or were experimental drugs the cause? Or is the Vietnam Agent Orange and the Atomic fallout issue all over again? Is the government cooperating or covering up? The results so far are surprising and often conflicting. So what is this myster .....

.... once ruled, was derived in part from his cult. After he established the new religion, sometimes referred to as solar monotheism, he changed his name from the royal designation Amenhotep IV to Akhenaton, meaning “Aton is satisfied.” He moved his capital from Thebes to Akhetaton (now the site of Tell el ‘Amarinah), a new city devoted to the celebration of Aton, and he ordered the obliteration of all traces of the polytheistic religion of his ancestors. He also fought bitterly against the powerful priests who attempted to maintain the worship of the state god Amon, or Amen. This religious revolution had a pro .....

.... time Euripedes was different in his subject matter and how he portrayed his characters, especially women. He created a play where he opposed a barbarian to someone “civilized”, as with Medea and Jason. The civilized Jason is more barbaric in his emotional callousness than the barbarian Medea, but by the end of the play she loses any sympathy the audience may have for her with her truly barbaric revenge. The Nurse calls Medea a "strange woman." She is anything but typical. Euripides admits from the outset that this is a bizarre tale of an exceptional human being. Two great pains tear Medea; her betrayal of her own country and h .....

.... effort to systematically murder them. In late 1939 Hitler invaded Poland, beginning the Second World War. In mid-1941 Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. At about the same time - historians do not agree on exactly when - Hitler also decided that there should be a "Final Solution" to "the Jewish question." The "Final Solution" was the murder of the Jews and was mainly carried out by a military group known as the SS and a security service known as the SD. The Gestapo was part of the SD. They arrested Jews and other victims, ran the concentration camps and organized the murder squads. During the first part of this extermination .....
