Discordianism is a religion, Chaos magic is a method of witchcraft or magic. There is an element of humor in Chaos magic and that element is similar between the two, but Chaos magic is not about Discordianism or Eris.

    Short Biography And Informative Essay On Kit Carson

    On Christmas Eve of 1809, Christopher Houston Carson was born in Madison County of Kentucky. He would be the eleventh child out of fifteen children in his family. When he was younger, the Carson family bought the famous Boone family's farmland to live on because Carson's father was a farmer and pioneer just as the Boone family was. His father wanted to emulate Daniel Boone. Christopher and his family were of Irish and Scottish descent, therefore they belonged to the Presbyterian church. Later in life, Christopher took on the nickname Kit, and lived as "Kit Carson" until his death in 1868.…

    Psychopathy

    There have been many studies linking conduct disorder to antisocial personality disorder and sometimes to psychopathy as well. Conduct disorder appears in children and adolescents and involves behavior that violates rights of others and/or societal norms or rules. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), the individual’s behavior must include actions such as aggression to people or animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft, serious violations of rules, as well as a clinically significant impairment in the adolescent’s social, academic, or occupational functioning. The DSM-IV states that in order for a child or adolescent to be found to be presenting Conduct Disorder he or she must present with three or more of the above listed behaviors in the past twelve months, including at least one in the past six months (McCaullum, pp. 6-12, 2001).…

    Chartism

    Chartism

    In Britain, the tough times of the late 1830s and 1840s, sometimes called the “hungry forties”, and the underwhelming increase in voters in the Reform Bill of 1832 gave birth to a political movement named Chartism. Chartism was a movement based on improving the political, social, and economic conditions of the working class and is considered the first mass working class movement in the world. The main points of the Chartist movement are defined in the People’s Charter, a document calling for six changes: universal manhood suffrage, the end of the property requirement for Parliament members, annual elections, equal electoral districts, and an income for Parliament members (Doc. 1). During the years of the Chartist movement there was much debate over how extreme and revolutionary they truly were. While many from the higher classes considered Chartism revolutionary and some individuals within the movement were willing to use violence, most Chartists were people who were only willing to try and pass the People’s Charter through the current system.…

    mental illness

    The debate over mental illness and homelessness has been around for years. Everyone has a view or an opinion about whether or not mental illness is related to homelessness. The fact is that most people who are mentally ill cannot do the basic things that are needed to be able to maintain a balanced life, therefore they find themselves out on the streets. Statistics show that most people who are living on the streets suffer from some type of mental illness. Some people may say that this is a life that they chose for themselves and some people may say that the mentally ill have no choice. And this is why we must do something about the problem because whether you agree or disagree the fact is every time you drive down the street or go into a store the face of the homeless is there.…

But even though all these men have had the weapons to achieve their acts, they have had one more characteristic that's sometimes overlooked in common, their unstable minds and serious mental illness.

    Alienation

    In How It Feels To Be Colored Me, Zora Neale Hurston responds to her alienation by writing an essay that celebrates her uniquess and pride rather than creating an essay about racial injustices like many other essays. Hurston justifies her individuality through the sentence "I am colored but I offer nothing in the way of extenuating circumstances except the fact that I am the only negro in the United States whose grandfather on the mother's side was not an Indian chief" (812). By inserting the word "only," Hurston separates herself from all the other blacks in America, implying that she is truly different because Indian blood does not run through her veins. Her heritage really reflects that although Hurston may be different, she does not consider it a disadvantage. Another way she responds to her alienation is when she says, "At certain times I have no race, I am me. Hurston does not want to conform to a race, to a color but she tries to be herself. In this essay Hurston shows self-confidence and self-veneration. Her work makes it clear that she wants to be recognized as an individual rather than being seen as just another "negro." This seperates her from the rest of her race because unlike them she want to just be noticed as her own person rather just being known as another negro she wants to stand out.…

    Conservatism

    Conservatism

    I do believe this is a fair assumption to say that conservatism should not be a single ideology because so many conservatives are so divided amongst themselves nowadays. According to Google search the definition for conservative is the act of holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion. I believe the ideology of conservatism is used as a political base that many other forms of conservatism branch off into its own political ideas and ideologies. There is a political spectrum that goes: Far Left (Consistently Liberal) to Mostly Liberal to Moderate to Mostly Conservative to (Consistently Conservative) Far Right. There are several different forms of conservatism that go along the spectrum, such as Neo-conservatism, Traditionalist conservatism, Classical conservatism, Libertarian conservatism, Social conservatism, and the list goes on. For example, the Neo-conservatism wanted to convert the current conservatism groups and Republicans “into a new kind of conservative politics suitable to governing a modern democracy.” (Kristol, pg. 189, Online) This would hold true…

    Conservatism

    Just like Liberalism, Conservatism had undergone a historical transformation in America. Early conservatives urged the support of the government in economic enterprise and government intervention within certain groups. In today’s society, conservatives argue that more government involvement will interfere with our individual lives and cause limitations. Thus, we now have a branch from early conservatives to contemporary conservatism. Contemporary conservatism is not always opposed to state intervention. For example, they may support military expenditures and allow some government intrusion into our personal lives. By supporting these ideas, contemporary conservatives hope to further their purposes.…

    Alienation

    In our society, how you look can determine your status and how much power you have in society. If someone is aesthetically unpleasing, it can affect their social status, how people see them, and even cause them to become alienated. In The Metamorphosis and District 9 the main characters, Wikus van de Merwe and Gregor Samsa, become isolated and lose their social power after they go through their metamorphosis and the aliens were isolated and didn’t have social power from the start.…
