Did you know that in the ancient Mongol empire‚ the Mongol soldiers would throw human fat at their enemies to scare them off in battle? In my opinion‚ I think that the Mongols did more cultural destruction. I think that there was more cultural destruction because considering many facts and documents‚ the Mongols did more cultural destruction. I say this because in the spring of 618/ 1221 people of Nishapur would have many resources. But long after‚ they realized that those resources wouldn’t work

Student Assessment (PISA) has shown that although the US may spend the most on its students‚ we aren’t all high and mighty. U.S students ranked 36 in Maths‚ 28 in Science‚ and 24 in Language Arts. Shanghai‚ China ranked number one in every subject. You have proposed many times before on extending school hours or days to help students reach their full potential. I wish it were that simple‚ but nothing comes to us that easily. If this were to happen‚ it would surpass the real reasons we aren’t ranking

Southern literature paper In the short story “Where are you going and Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates one of the main things that readers find is the suspicion surrounding the character Arnold Friend. Supporting this is Friend’s words which are so impactful on Connie‚ and why she didn’t just pick up the phone and call nine-one-one to end the whole conflict in the first place. Much of the research I found was based off this question pointing out how a person would react to this scenario

lights in the night and some people who are wearing hood are wandering. This kind of people especially creates panic to women who go alone. Like this case‚ the general public cannot lead to a safe life because of offenders and other discouragements. I found that the prohibition of the hood would be a tentative way to make the society safe. For three reasons which are about crime prevention‚ ostentation‚ and the exact range of the law‚ I totally agree to enact ‘prohibition of hood’. By Legislating the

Have you ever played Wheres Waldo? By issuing students school uniforms‚ finding a problem child would be a lot like playing that game in a real life situation. Just like any other argument you will have your pros and cons of the idea‚ but in my opinion and many others‚ the cons highly outweigh the pros of wearing school uniforms. Many intelligent individuals will lose their motivation to excel and be prevalent because they are used to being ordinary like everyone else. School uniforms shout conformity

Failure of Prohibition The 1920s was a time of major surprising social changes in the United States. The social changes during this period were reflected in the laws and regulations that were brought into play during this time. Albert Einstein said‚ ¨Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.¨ This quote makes me believe that Prohibition did not succeed and it was a failure to society. I believe this because the ¨noble

Why do people have homophobia? Everyone‚ regardless of gender or race‚ more or less displays homosexual tendency (Kinsey‚ 1948).

In Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics‚ the idea of people finding happiness‚ which is the ultimate end and purpose of human existence‚ depends on having a moral character. The possibility of people being able to do the right thing would be more clear in situations where people’s lives may be on the line. Aristotle repeatedly reminds us that in ethics‚ there are no universal/absolute rules or laws in place that dictate how people should specifically act under specific conditions. Everything has the potential

PROHIBITION Nature and Scope The following features of the writ of prohibition may be noted: A writ of Prohibition commands the court or tribunal to whom it is issued to refrain from doing something which it is about to do. It prevents a tribunal possessing judicial and quasi-judicial powers from assuming or threatening to assume jurisdiction which it does not possess. Thus the writ lies both for excess of jurisdiction and absence of jurisdiction. Prohibition has much in common with certiorari
