This type of certainty only signifies authority, but it shows Danforth to be truly powerless over his convictions or any sort of lasting truth. Like Proctor, he is also described upon his first appearance, with Miller commenting that he was of "some humor and sophistication that does not, however, interfere with an exact loyalty to his position and his cause" (Miller 73). Though Danforth has authority over life and death in Salem, he has no real power because he has already completely given himself over to his position as a Judge and his cause of seeking out witches. When the truth and all things eternal cease to matter, all power is gone, and though John Proctor and many others meet death essentially at Danforth's hands, they retain power over themselves in their refusal to give in to Danforth's authority. Earlier, Elizabeth has given him news of Giles Corey's defiance, which allowed his land to pass to his sons uncontested. This is in some ways an even greater comment on Danforth's lack of power; he cannot even force a man to give up his property. His authority is strictly limited by his position, and he has no real power beyond those limitations -- and thus no real power at all. Giles Corey, John Proctor, and the others who resist the court, however, have names and souls that cannot be touched or altered by anyone else -- and this is true power.

The environment, has been a scientific argument since the Victorian Era. The nature vs. nurture and stability vs. change arguments remain quite controversial. In essence, it concerns the importance of an individual's innate qualities (their nature) versus the way they were raised, the interactions they have had, and their personal experiences (nurture). One asks, would we have had a Stalin had he remained in seminary, or not been part
Constantine did not require all Romans to adopt Christianity (given that Christians were still a minority, this would have been too radical a measure for the time) but his sponsorship, in Lactantius' eyes, and his own, personal faith was seen as evidence that God himself had blotted out the bad emperors who had killed Christians and taken their land -- the land subsequently restored by Constantine. During the 10th century,
Over the centuries, the message of public rejection of homosexuality has ranged from outlawing of homosexual acts, to violence and death threats against homosexuals themselves, forcing many who had genuine, loving relationships to keep those relationships a deeply hidden secret, lest they face the wrath of society and the legal system (Rupp, 2002). The dichotomy between the acceptance of homosexuals by society and the attainment of legal rights for homosexuals
European Union a state, or what else distinguishes it from other International Organizations The primary question concerning global organizations as a medium of global governance relates towards the quantity and excellence of this governance within an era where we now have an overdeveloped global economy as well as an under-developed global polity (Ougaard and Higgott, 2002). There's a powerful disconnect amid governance, being an efficient and effective collective solution-seeking process
heart:" the "great design" of Toomer's Cane, William Dow addresses the themes and intentions of Toomer through both and interpretation of the work and through Toomer's own words in personal documents. Dow in fact begins his work with a quote from a letter Toomer wrote to a contemporary: "I want great art. This means I want great design." Jean Toomer, "Open Letter to Gorham Munson" The quote sets the
