Chapter 10 focuses on the environment and development. Many of the effects of development impact the environment greatly, and these negative externalities tend to fall on poor people who don’t have the resources to escape the conditions. The chapter opens with a quote from Nicholas Stern that reads, “The poorest developing countries will be hit earliest and hardest by climate change, even though they have contributed little to causing the problem.” I wanted to talk about this quote and what exactly it means because it’s an important fact that often goes overlooked.…

During the 1600’s many ideas and values affected the political, economic, and social development of the New England colonies (specifically from 1630 through the 1660’s) . The puritains had a close kinship, for example “working as one man”, and entertaining eachother in brotherly affection. The Puritans were a significant grouping of English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries. Puritanism in this sense was founded by some Marian exiles from the clergy shortly after the accession of Elizabeth I of England in 1558, as an activist movement within the Church of England. The designation "Puritan" is often incorrectly used, notably based on the assumption that hedonism and Puritanism are antonyms: Historically, the word was used to characterize the Protestant group as extremists similar to the Cathari of France, and according to Thomas Fuller in his Church History dated back to 1564, Archbishop Matthew Parker of that time used it and "precisian" with the sense of modern "stickler".…

Many of C.S. Lewis’ poems have spoken to me on a deep level over the last few years, this one in particular holds the most meaning for me and has impacted my life in multiple ways. In this paper, I will first discuss why I believe this piece to be about the regret Lewis felt in regard to the negative effect his selfishness had upon a relationship that he was a part of and how this relationship was with a woman he cared for deeply and romantically. I will then discuss how it has affected me on an emotional level and applies to my life personally as a follower of Christ.…
