    Kingdom? Natural barriers provide a good barometer of shaping countries. Germany actually doesn’t have effective natural barriers. Ethnicity and Religion‚ Language and Currency‚ Culture‚ and so on. A nation has citizens.

Again‚ WHY ISNT GERMANY UNIFIED? It had no common language at the time‚ it doesn’t have natural boundaries

    Theory of Natural Law According to Thomas Aquinas The natural law is a moral theory that is said to be written on the hearts of all humans and is a guide for behavior. Thomas Aquinas held this theory to be part of the divine or eternal law that God made known and applied. Humans‚ as recipients of the natural law‚ from this and through reason‚ derive their natural inclinations on how to act properly. So‚ according to Aquinas‚ to practically achieve their proper end‚ these rational souls desire self-preservation

    Immigration has been the primary way that the United States has grown since its founding as a nation. We can detect several key periods in which immigration has helped to shape its character. In the nineteenth century there were at least two critical periods of immigration.

    In the Postbellum and Industrial nineteenth century‚ many religions adapted their beliefs and practices to the environment around them. Catholicism‚ as it was worshiped by Greek and Italian immigrants‚ looked vastly different from the ways in which the Americanized Roman Catholics worshiped.

    Whether it is now in the 21st century or as early as the 19th century‚ there was a lot expected from women. Their main roles had always been carrying mothers for their children and loving wives for their husbands.
