shape and to create our modern world?
The modern world was shaped by a range of events and powerful people. One of the first most influential people was Clovis. Clovis was the founder of the Merovingian dynasty of Frankish kings, and one who defeated the Roman rule in Gaul along with defeating a range of Germanic people, creating the kingdom that is known as France nowadays. Most notably, it was this ruler's conversion to Christianity which had a profound impact on the nation for years to come. Charles Martel might not be as famous as other rulers, but he had a significant impact on the development of the modern world in that he was able to stop the advance of the Moors into his land. Charles the Great is remembered more profoundly throughout time in that he was the leader of numerous holy wars against a variety of non-Christian groups.….

20th Century Modern Art
An Analysis of Three orks of Mid-20th Century Modern Art

assily Kandinsky helped open up the door to abstract art with his book

Concerning the Spiritual in Art. A lawyer by trade and a latecomer to the art world, Kandinsky made art that was an expression of the "spiritual" side of life: an abstract representation of the world beneath the world. Kandinsky's works were everything modern art wanted to be: real, acerbic, playful, and mysterious; soaking up the subjective character of modernism, but boldly proclaiming life through the interaction of line and color. Much of mid-20th century modern art has its roots in Kandinsky. hether pop art, fashion art, or abstract art, there is something of Kandinsky's spirit in all of it: individualistic, kitschy, and chaotic, it attempts to reflect through an act of creation a culture that is in collapse. This paper will analyze three works mid-20th century….

Nature vs. The Modern World in William Wordsworth's
"The World Is Too Much With Us"

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was an English poet and writer widely-acclaimed for his literary works during the English Romantic era. orn on April 7, 1770, in Cumberland, England, Wordsworth was born to an affluent family, and grew up in great commune with nature, because Cumbersome is an area that is often termed as a 'rustic society,' and his growing up years was spent within its (Cumbersome) confines. In fact, Wordsworth's love of nature is reflected in his activities while still a young man: he "enjoyed hiking," and tramping along the Cumberland country, and whenever he has the chance, Wordsworth explores nature by trekking along different places (examples of these places are France, Switzerland, and Germany, all of whom he had visited in 1790) (Everett 2000). His love for nature is also deeply reflected in his poetry, and Wordsworth,….

Christianity in the Modern World
Modern Christians looking back into history may find it hard to comprehend the various atrocities that have been committed in the name of Christianity. While religion has consistently been an excuse for one group to claim superiority over another, nowhere was this more apparent than when the Puritans came to America. While the lens of time reveals the Puritan actions against the native population to be both arrogant and cruel, it is important to remember that the Puritans did not view their actions in the same manner. In contrast, their actions were motivated by their deeply held religious belief that it was their divine mission to come to America and begin a colony where they would be free to practice their religion.

Like many modern-day advocates of religious freedom, the Puritans had a narrow view of the term. They did not seek religious freedom for all,….

Media in the Modern World
PAGES 7 WORDS 2270

Cable television is also prevalent in Hong Kong, which has adopted a free-market approach to cable programming (Oba and Chan-Olmsted 2005). Any attempts to limit this "intrusion" of information that could be interpreted as culturally imperialist or as an "invasion" of the West would be met with a huge public outcry from the people of Hong Kong, who are by now accustomed to having this type of media access.
t should also be noted that STAR TV also reaches ndia. Pashupati et. al. suggest that the reluctance of government-run media to welcome companies like STAR TV may stem not from their "westernizing" influence, but from the decreased advertising revenues that come with competition. This pragmatic approach to examining the relationship between public- and privately-owned media may well explain many of the governments' reservations about welcoming other media outlets (see Pashupati et. al. 2003, pp.266). t is possible that the preservation….

Salt
In the modern world there are many different uses for salt. To fully understand their various applications requires carefully examining how this natural resource is utilized. This will be accomplished by looking at: the foods, roads and chemicals. Together, these elements will highlight the numerous uses of salt.

Food

Salt is a necessary ingredient that helps to make food safe. At the same time, it is enhancing the flavoring and preserving cuisine. As far as flavoring is concerned, it helps to improve the taste and it is ensuring that it is easily digested. The way that it preserves cuisine is to allow the food to remain at room temperatures longer. This prevents it from spoiling by having added amounts preserves. ("Food and Salt Health," 2012)

For example, many people will often include extra salt with their meat. This is to protect the flavor and mitigate the chances of it going bad. In….

Travis Collins finds in his study of the Declaration of Ibadan that missions and national churches can partner effectively to establish a level of world evangelization that can fulfill the target objectives and aims of successful saturation evangelism. The study examines the relationship between the missions and the unions, which function together to establish the "role of the mission, joint decision making" and personnel deployment.[footnoteRef:1] This source is relevant to the thesis of this study because it highlights some possible strategies that missions and national churches can coordinate between themselves in order to better effect the level of saturation evangelism that they strive to maintain. The idea behind the strategy is that the network of churches can support the needs of the missions and that the missions in turn can reach and attract otherwise hard-to-reach persons and bring them into the fold of the national churches, whereby they can grow….

North American Spirituality and the Modern World
The role of the following themes in North American tribal religions: nature, place/location, rituals, visioning, sacred beings, the afterlife and traditions.

There is a great variety of different themes in tribal religions. The native religions are passed down through oral traditions. Anthropology also made great contributions to understanding the traditional customs of the North American tribal peoples during the 1800s when these peoples were on the brink of extinction. Even to this day many of the activities that are carried out within these religions are completely private because of the inhibitions that grew out of the persecutions of the tribal people during colonialization.

Most of the tribal religions are somehow based on space. For example, a tribe might worship a particular feature of nature such as a place called "Holy Mountain" or "Niagara Falls." Many of the celebrations were also well-planned and required a great deal….

Introduction
Intimate relationships have changed in contemporary Britain for a variety of social and economic reasons. In the past, marriage made economic sense for both men and women. Today, however, with a combination of social factors from the sexual revolution of the 1960s to the Women’s Movement of the 1970s (which helped women to establish themselves independently of men) to the advent of contraception (liberating sex from procreation) to the proliferation of pornography (thanks to liberal ideals and technological advancements like the Internet), the idea of matrimony as an expression of economic dependence has diminished while the concepts of monogamy, virginity having value, and sex being linked to marriage, family and community have by and large given way to more liberalized concepts in which intimacy is linked with pleasure and self-satisfaction without social, economic or personal responsibilities necessarily being part of that equation. The rise of the idea of romantic love….

Diversity -- with the exception of homophobia -- was beginning to be commonly accepted and praised. Technology -- such as the use of DNA in criminology and the introduction of the PC -- was becoming more prominent in the lives of everyday Americans. In the Cold War, President Gorbachev asked for openness and economic freedom, while President eagan asked him to tear down the Berlin Wall, which he did. However, the discovery of AIDS had a far more profound impact on the American people than any of these events. In 1981, the first case of AIDS was reported in the United Kingdom, and this eventually caused quite a crisis in the U.S., as it was first noticed among gay men, and then in women and children as well. People became scared because they were not sure what was causing the disease. esearch continued throughout the 1980s, but the fear….

million Africans who were enslaved and transported to Europe and America between 15th and 19th which was part of the Atlantic trade.

World Is Flat A Brief
PAGES 7 WORDS 2218

Friedman considers insourcing to be flattener number eight, because it allows small companies to compete like major supply-chain companies. Insourcing refers to hiring another company to handle a company's supply chain. UPS is the major supplier for insourcing services in the United States. Friedman believes that insourcing flattens in three ways: by letting little companies compete in the global market; by dissolving barriers between companies; and by standardizing business practices across companies.
Finally, Friedman looks at a group of flatteners that he refers to as the steroids. These are small flatteners that have the effect of amplifying the other flatteners. Mobile steroids are those technologies allowing people to work in non-traditional environments and include cellular phones, laptops, and wireless internet access. Personal steroids are those things that give power to the individual, and include personal computers, search engines, and peer-to-peer file sharing. While these flatteners are not powerful enough to….

Zionism
"Diaspora" is a Greek term meaning "to disperse," or "to scatter," and is often applied to the Jews and their dispersion out of the land of Israel. Many scholars point to the year 588 B.C., when the kingdom of Judea was conquered by the Babylonians as the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. ("Diaspora") The Jews were forced to relocate to Babylon where, even after the Persians conquered the Babylonians and allowed the Jews to return to Judea, many remained. It was also when the Babylonians conquered Judea that many Jews fled to Egypt, where they created a Jewish community in exile that continued for centuries. After the return of the Jews to Judea in 538 B.C., the entire area became embroiled in a series of conflicts that resulted in the creation of a Hellenic culture throughout the middle east. As a result, Jews spread out from their traditional homeland to….
