.... of several religious and historical prophecies. These are largely opinion-based interpretations, so their true meaning may not be what the original person or group had intended. As with any non-concrete research as this, facts will vary. As far as a time that the end is supposed to come, many of the prophecies focus around the new millennium; especially between 1999 and 2280. There is a larger concentration involved in the 2010-2020 range. For one, the majority of psychics claim they cannot see past 2012 in the future. Also, the Mayan calendar, recently revered as a major clue holder, ends on December 21st, 2012. The Mayans believe time on earth will roll ov ....

.... I mean, would it be impossible for some one not to cheat on a test if they could, even if they were getting a D in the class?... (the answer is yes), would it be impossible for some one to not take a million dollars if they found it? Even if the answer is, "Only Ghandi" it is still yes. Trying to get rid of temptation is like trying to fix a leaky boat by draining the ocean. A lot of people would have us believe that if God is all powerful, he is not all good, and if he is all good, he is not all powerful. I disagree. Some people would have tell you that life is about trying to become more like Jesus by letting God take us over and letting him "steer". This is pointless, if ....

.... in the market and developing from a “Sellers” market into a “Buyers” market. This means that the only difference between one Seller and another will be in the quality of the service rendered to them. In addition to this, the expectations and demands of clients have been increasing and have been rapidly dynamic over the past five years and in order for you to please, and indeed, maintain a client then the services rendered to them should be adequate and ready to fulfill their needs. Most service industries, if not all, are all client/customer oriented and they depend on the client to pay for their services that are intangible. With this in mind, it is in their best in ....

.... is similar to the way people act in society. Ethnomethodology is basic common-sense used in for general situations in everyday life (Ritzer, 77). Exchange theory is a given relationship is found to be attractive whereas the rewards tend to outweigh punishment (Blau, 1964). Structural functionalism and conflict theory are two types of macro-theories. Structural functionalism (Perrucci, 1983) has three main ideas: 1) society is a system containing interdependent and interacting parts bound together in time and space, 2) shared values among members of the system are social “glue” that helps hold it together, 3) and systems have a need for stability and therefor attemp ....

.... past, as an example, he would see how racially diverse people were. Now look around. Just walking across any given area, groups of people of the same race are seen walking together. Most people do not notice this, but very rarely are groups of ethnically diverse people seen. Although there are no longer any laws stating that there must be a separation between different races, people still practice it unconsciously. Dworkin states that the long-term goal of preferential treatment "is to reduce the degree to which American society is overall a racially conscious society (294)." Preferential treatment does nothing of the sort. It was used widely in the past and still ....

.... pilot in the ways of the Force. This is Anakin Skywalker, Luke's father. Anakin finds the dark side of the Force much easier and more expedient than the light and becomes a dark Jedi, Darth Vader. He becomes so powerful that his body starts to be eroded by the dark side energies, forcing him to wear a suit and respirator. Ben blames himself for Anakin's failings and lives like a hermit in 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 ....

.... and 1502. During those trips, he touched the coasts of South and Central America. In that time, the continent was known by the earliest explorers and historians as the Indies, the West Indies, or the New World. In 1499, Alonso de Ojeda and Juan de la Cosa visited South America, and with them went Amerigo Vespucci who wrote such popular accounts of his own deeds that the German geographer Martin Waldseemuller coined the word "America" in Cosmographiae Introductio, a small work designed to accompany and explain a wall map and globe executed by Waldseemuller. In this work two names were suggested for the "fourth part" of the world, one Amerige (pronounced A-mer-i-gay wit ....

.... of all people. One of the main controversies in the education system of the United States is the content of what is taught. Everything that is taught in school is uniform for the entire grade. However, not every individual student is uniform in what they already know and how capable they are of learning new things. Not only that, but also is each student interested in learning what everyone else is learning? Today there are many schools that have put more emphasis in teaching learning skills rather than the knowledge that is needed to move on to the next level (Hirsch 129). Some schools have gone to what is known as “core knowledge” to make sure that each an ....
