.... different times call for different views on moral behavior. There is no “universal truth” and objective standards should not be applied to criticize one societal code more than another. In his collection of almost scandalous stories, Boccaccio portrays 14th century society. Perhaps he is a little overboard in his descriptions, but this gives the 2 readers an opportunity to distance themselves from the material and better analyze the point that Boccaccio wanted to get across. He wanted to provide a forum into the study of culture during his time. As a society, we have learned to deem different types of behavior either acceptable or unacceptable. .....

He made material data of his stories symbolic representations .....

.... able to go out more. Baseball games and dinner-dancing lounges became overcrowded. George H.(“Babe”) Ruth became better known than most statesmen, and fans bought tickets in such numbers that Babe’s hometown park, Yankee Stadium, became known as “the house that Babe built.” Dinner and dancing lounges became very popular by the mid-1920s. Friday and Saturday nights were their most popular nights. People went out to these lounges not only to enjoy a good meal, but to bask in it’s excitement and glory. At 10 o’clock, after dinner and socializing with the town folk, many would think that the night would be over but it had just begun! The men loosened their shirt .....

.... His father, Louis XIII died when Louis was young. He had it better than many other young French rulers did. “His father’s death spared Louis XIV the beatings and abuse usually given to French princes” (Buranelli 23). His mother and Marzarin, the cardinal, raised him. He had tutors who gave him an education. Marzarin taught him everything he would need to know about court ceremony, war, and the craft of kingship. It is obvious that Louis has been brought up very different than other young kings. That is what might account for his unique style of ruling. When Marzarin died in 1661, France was shocked to find out that Louis refu .....

.... a miser. He thought that the role of a millionaire was to gather as much money as possible, than redistribute it throughout the community for the betterment of the people. He thought that a millionaire, by being able to make the money in the first place, had proved himself able to better manage the money than the community as a whole. The biblical aspect, in comparison, is very wary in condoning great wealth. It cautions that it is the reason for gathering the great wealth that matters, not the final distribution of it. If one gathers great wealth merely for the purpose of gathering great wealth, that is greed and it is sinful in the eyes of the bible. .....

.... in the United States. The best-known investigator, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, gave his name to an era of intense anticommunism. In 1948 the United States launched the $13 billion Marshall Plan to rebuild Western and Central Europe. When Stalin responded by extending his control over Eastern Europe and threatening the West's position in Germany, Truman helped to create a military alliance, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and to establish an independent West Germany.

.... defeat of Russia in the Crimean War in 1855 and 1856 exposed weaknesses of Russia's various organizations. For the first few decades of the 1800's, Russia's outlook was brighter under Alexander I, who was relatively liberal. He became more reactionary however, and following his death, a group of young army officers tried to overturn the Czardom. This was called the Decembrist Revolt. The next czar, Nicholas, was a die hard authoritarian. The Administrative system continued to decay regardless of his iron fisted rule. The gap between the rich and the poorer continued to widen. Over five hundred peasant revolts took place during his reign. Al .....

.... and big business after buisness that looks down on the culture and sees it only as a music type. We are not that. Hip Hop is more. It is not rap/Hip Hop. Rap is a part of hip hop. It is some of the music that comes out of hip hop. There have been M.C.s since before hip hop. Hip Hop brought emcees that perfected this art. Hip Hop is first people only see rap, r&b, and the other musics as Hip Hop; when these are only part of Hip Hop. Hip Hop is a feeling. You feel it everywhere, you're at a party and you hear that beat in your head, the tingle in your arm, and that feeling you get to jump out and say "hey shorty whutz ya name?" thats Hip Hop.
