... would have been mad if an Anglo-saxon girl would
have talked bad about a hispanic guy or girl.
Another time hispanics thought I was Anglo-saxon, was when my best
friend's dad got me a job at his company. The first day he showed me around and
majority of the workers were hispanic; once again they all looked at me again.
My first encounter with my racist co-workers was during lunch. As I sat down to
eat my sandwich, the guy I got to know asked me if I wanted to try some Mexican
food. That's when I gave him this expression that must have stunned him,
because he asked me what was wrong. I told him, “ ...

Tall Stories
Number of Words: 2161 / Number of Pages: 8
... would need is a
considerable slice of real estate. Tall buildings require a large base to
support their load and keep them stable. In general, the height of a
building should be six times its base, so, for a skyscraper 900-m tall,
you'd need a base of 150 square m.
That much space is hard to come by in, say, downtown Toronto, forcing
you to look for an undeveloped area, perhaps the Don Valley ravine, next
to the Science Centre. Bear in mind though that the Don Valley is overlain
by loose sand and silt, and tall buildings must stand on firm ground, or
else risk the fate of edifices like the Empr ...

Do What You Love And The Money
Number of Words: 759 / Number of Pages: 3
... this energy that is created.
Since, as the author contends, that money is the "Chief representative of 'life on earth' " than money is what drives us, we chase it, money, in the author's eyes does not follow us. Therefore the statement " will follow" is contrary to Needleman's beliefs and in a sense would seem like a new age fantasy. Human life to him is money, to be human in this day and age is to require money and our own conciseness needs to accept this fact. To understand you're individual life, you must accept that money is the most important piece in our culture at this time in human evolu ...

The Republic
Number of Words: 4990 / Number of Pages: 19
... and to his wives. For what each thing is when fully developed, we call its nature, whether we are speaking of a man, a horse, or a family. Besides, the final cause and end of a thing is the best, and to be self-sufficing is the end and the best. Hence it is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal. And he who by nature and not by mere accident is without a state, is either a bad man or above humanity; he is like the Tribeless, lawless, hearthless one, whom Homer denounces -- the natural outcast is forthwith a lover of war; he may be compared to an i ...

The History Of Greek Theater
Number of Words: 2430 / Number of Pages: 9
... how an audience could observe tragic events and still have a pleasurable
experience. Aristotle, by searching the works of writers of Greek tragedy, Aeschulus, Euripides and Sophocles (whose Oedipus Rex he considered the finest of all Greek tragedies), arrived at his
definition of tragedy. This explanation has a profound influence for more than twenty centuries on those writing tragedies, most significantly Shakespeare. Aristotle’s analysis of tragedy began with

... the Jundland Wastes of Tatooine, watching over Anakin's son, Luke.
Luke Skywalker is the unwitting hero of Star Wars. He is reluctantly thrust into helping out the Rebel Alliance after his aunt and uncle are killed by the Evil Galactic Empire. In him we see all the naivete that is in a provincial boy. Lucas keeps the outcome of the movie in doubt by making the hero a child who must grow into his role. But the character is not an original one, he has no personality at the beginning of the story and Luke's character is only defined by the events that he passes through. And all of these come from Jos ...

... or of women with women would of course be sterile – though the participants would at least “have some satiety of their union and a relief,” (191 c) and therefore would be able to carry on the work of the world. Sex, therefore, is at this stage a drive, and the object is defined only as human. Sexual preferences are to emerge only as the human gains experience, enabling them to discover what their “original form” had been.
Aristophanes has mildly insulted the previous speakers in two ways. By claiming that one of the original forms was androgynous, he has suggested that heterosexuality is at least a ...

... highlighted the fact that the Sioux people were not savage killers, but simply fighters for peace. The reason that this tactic did not work on the whites was because the white man’s ethic of fighting was no where near the ethics of the Sioux. White man believed that they had a given right to annihilate anyone they wanted. This is why the tactics of the Sioux people were not successful when it came to fighting off the whites of the time.
