.... in the southeastern states during the Reconstruction after the Civil War. The birthplace of the Klan was in the state of Tennessee, in a small town called Pulaski. Pulaski is the capital of Giles County, located in the middle of southeastern Tennessee. It had a population of 3,000 people and it was a town full of churches at the time of the Klan’s beginning (Wilson and Lester pg. 50). This birthplace was the birthplace of future misery and despair and the beginning of a new era( Oneline pg. 1). On an evening in May 1866, a few young men met with one of the most prominent member’s office at a Pulaski bar. In the course of the evening’s conversation, one of the mem ....

.... the principle values of society. As in many of her novels, this marriage at the end of the novel shows us Jane Austen's ideal view of marriage as a social institution. The novel Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen gives us the reader a very good idea of how she views marriage, as well as society. The theme of marriage is set in the very opening sentence of Pride and Prejudice; "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife" (Austen, 1) As Norman Sherry points out, this is Austen's way of implying that 'a single man in possession of a good fortune' is automatically destined to be the object of desir ....

.... as: "[a] low-pay, low-prestige, low-dignity, low-benefit, no-future job in the service sector" (Generation X, pg.5). They each are misunderstood by their parents and are seen as underachievers in a society "that has it easy." It is easy for parents of the "X-ers" to believe this because all they've know is rise. Rise in population, rise in American business, and rise in overall success. These days all jobs are taken. The jobs out there are low paying and demeaning to overqualified applicants. Left only to scrap by, it is not unusual for an "X-er" to feel "Boomer Envy" described as the "envy of material wealth and long-range material security accrued by older membe ....

.... Library can be easily mistaken for a bank as you come upon it from the exterior. The first feature about the Elton S. Karrmann Library that makes it seem as if it were a bank is the solid construction of the library. Much like the construction of a bank, the library was also constructed with security and protection in mind. Also, the impressive exterior of the library resembles that of a modern bank. The concrete support pillars not only add strength but also give the library this impressive look of a bank. These light white-grayish, square pillars are 2 by 2 ft. and almost half the way up them there are two engraved lines that run all the way around them about ....

.... like playing sports, camping and joining the school clubs, the parents do not want their children to spend too much time outside. In contrast, the children who raised in the United States can go outside more freely. In fact, all of the parents are scared of their children having accidents. However, most of the parents in the United States prefer their children to have more outside activities than just stay at home. In addition, most of the children in Hong Kong have no human rights than the children who are raised in the United States. Traditionally, many parents in Hong Kong punish their children by hitting when they make some mistakes. Because of there are no for ....

.... Throughout every story there seems to be truth and fiction; sensation and sensationalism. This is what I find so disturbing about the Littleton case. I know that school children don't usually kill each other before recess, and I can understand the want of the media to capitalize on the opportunity to instill in us some sense of pathos, but to take on the persona of the "older brother" with regards to how the media mediated this event was wrong in my eyes. By "older brother" persona I mean that they bullied us into believing what they believed. First we were supposed to be angry and horrified that something like this could happen in such a small town. Then we kind of fel ....

.... nineties with Betty Friedan’s, in her essay: The Way We Were - 1949. She dealt with a society that expected women to fulfill certain roles. Those roles completely disregarded the needs of educated and motivated business women and scientific women. Actually, the subtle message that society gave was that the educated woman was actually selfish and evil. I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to be a psychologist, of a story in McCall’s in December 1949 called "A Weekend with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother, divorced, an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes to the country to spend a weekend with her father a ....

.... of high academic achievement, and most of our nation's presidents were members of a Greek association. According to Irving Klepper, the first fraternity (Phi Beta Kappa) was founded for "social and literary purposes" at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia on December 5th 1776. After half a century of existence, it became and has since remained a scholarship honor society. Throughout the nineteenth century, many new fraternities were founded, but none of these were permanent. Then, in 1825, the Kappa Alpha Fraternity (now Kappa Alpha Society) was born at Union College. Two years later, Sigma Phi and Delta Phi had been founded at the same ....
