Knights And Chivalry
Number of Words: 935 / Number of Pages: 4
... such as the English Order of
the Garter and the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece. By this time,
however, chivalry had become largely a system of etiquette. Tournaments, in
which knights had originally risked their lives in jousting combat before
the ladies, became simply elaborate, stylized, and harmless entertainments.
Moreover, the expense of this and other trappings of knighthood led many
nobles who were eligible for knighthood, having served the customary
apprenticeship of 7 years as a page at a noble court and another 7 as a
squire, or attendant, to a knight, not to become knights at ...

Outdoors Or TV?
Number of Words: 250 / Number of Pages: 1
... reason why I think kids are becoming more violent and committing crimes is
because, they sit in front of the stupid TV all day long. They don't spend
enough time outdoors, hunting, fishing, surfing, and doing all those fun
exciting things.
The outdoors offers so much to do and takes your mind off reality and

aren't too many rules. The one rule I go by is; “have fun.” When you're
outdoors you don't have to think about being robbed or hurt by crazy people
because, they stay in the city.
If you are outdoors you c ...

... bobcats, lynx,
coyotes, muskrats, nutria, and other animals are trapped each year in the
United States for fur".2 They suffer from unbearable pain for several
hours before their lives are ended by the trapper's club. Is the price of
live worth the price of fur? Psalm 104, 27-30. All creatures depend on you
to feed them throughout the year: you provide the food they eat, with
generous hands you satisfy their hunger. You turn your face away, they
suffer. You stop their breath, they die and revert to dust. You give
breath, fresh life begins, you keep renewing the world. Disections have

spears, and military exercises that were done on horseback. He was also
taught dancing and playing of musical instruments in their leisure time.
As a page, a boy was taught how to carve and serve food as a waiter, and

Money Can't Buy Love
Number of Words: 323 / Number of Pages: 2
... in the country or
in a small town such as Haskins with their spouse.. Living in a mansion or
million dollar subdivision hardly guaranties happiness or love. In million
dollar sub-divisions a person has no chose in what their lawn will look
like, or even what color their house will be. What kind of life is that?
In a small town, a person never worries about the little things and has
more time to love.
The "money can by love" article is absolutely a black and white
fallacy in every possible way. The author fails to point out any examples
that would badly represent her point of view. She neve ...

... us what to eat, drink, wear, drive, and think. Advertisers start this form of brainwashing on us at a very early age. They lay the groundwork of ideals early on because it is easy to persuade a child. Now, with the two income family, children are left to interpret not only advertisements but television programming as well without supervision. Children are forced to make their own evaluations and most of the time they go along with the views of what they see. How many times do children want something because they saw it on television? With the unending viewing of shows and advertisements who could bla ...

... excessive amounts of porn for all of his murderous ways," states Ron Mitchell. He came from a good home, had a good upbringing, and cannot seem to pinpoint anything in particular that would lead to his murderous spree.

... of people. Some ideas have come from these groups of people. These ideas may have been words or types of agriculture but these do not begin to relate to the true meaning of the melting pot theory.
In today's society most ethnic groups have to become accustomed to an American way of life which means the English language. This is a problem because these people have to learn English to survive or they will not be able to succeed in America. This idea also holds true for their children as they will also have to learn American ways rather than their real ethnic backgrounds. If the U.S. was a true melt ...

... in the
same class as each other, again throwing comments at each other when one said to
the other; "lets take this out side". Everyone around them urged them to fight
so after the class that's exactly what they did. Arms were flying everywhere,
the other students were shouting anger at them to hurt each other more, and more.
I remember standing there helplessly wanting to stop them, but knew if I got
involved I would most probably be suspended for interfering. This made me sad,
for I didn't have any control of any of my good friends. ...
