.... very carefully. Individuals were appointed to rule each as tyrants; citizens were required to serve in the Persian army and to pay fairly steep taxes. In 500 B.C., Aristagoras, the Persian tyrant of Miletus, proposed to the Persians that they should conquer the Aegean Islands starting with Naxos. The Persians launched the expedition, unaware of the strong defense of Naxos, which was due to the active organization of its democratic system. The Persians failed and Aristagoras, fearing for his life, began a democratic rebellion in 499 B.C. He went to the Greek mainland for support but Sparta denied him aid, fearing their Helots might revolt. Athens, .....

.... God. The Bible was a Puritan's road map toward that duty. While Puritans respected authority, they did not revere tradition or ritual. Their churches were plain and unadorned. Prayer and listening to sermons were constant companions to the righteous Puritan. The family was a homage to God. A man's gift to God was a happy, prayerful family centered within the church. A Puritan considered it a kindness to his neighbor to keep an eye on the neighbor's behavior and to guide him when guidance was deemed necessary. Corruption in the community could easily spread into the church, and the good Puritan was ever-vigilant against scandal in either place. A personal scan .....

.... violation are two concepts that are easily misinterpreted depending on culture’s ideals. Since cultures have different attributes it is impossible for two cultures to exist and share a view of a situation or event. Heroism and violation are two concepts that are addressed by Geertz in his relating of Ryle’s story of the sheep raid. From the different cultures involved, two different interpretations are concluded. To the protagonist, Cohen, and the perpetrators of the crime, his raid on the Berbers was seen as heroism. Cohen risking his life for his redemption of crime that was committed against him is viewed as heroic. On the contrary, when Cohen return .....

.... 123 votes, they now polled 1,742, a respectable 28 percent of the total. The nationwide success drew even faster... in just three years, party membership would rise from about 100,000 to almost a million, and the number of local branches would increase tenfold. The new members included working-class people, farmers, and middle-class professionals. They were both better educated and younger then the Old Fighters, who had been the backbone of the party during its first decade. The Nazis now presented themselves as the party of the young, the strong, and the pure, in opposition to an establishment populated by the elderly, the weak, and the dissolute. .....

.... The following are some of the responses I received: The first question that was asked was about what Kennedy accomplished during his term in office. The stories and memories did not differ for the most part. The most common accomplishment that was mentioned was the Cuban Missile Crisis. The memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis were very clear. As one voter said, "Sometimes the things you will remember the most, are the scary situations in your life. The Crisis, although eventually was resolved, was frightening due to the nuclear response. The thought of nuclear fall-out was devastating." Another voters response was, "Even though I was thinking of all the nucle .....

.... the manufacture, sale and transportation of all intoxicating liquors. Shortly afterward, the Volstead Act, named for author Andrew J. Volstead, was put into effect. This complimentary law determined intoxicating liquor as anything having an alcohol content of more than 0.5 percent, omitting alcohol used for medicinal and sacramental purposes; this act set up guidelines for enforcement as well (Altman 15). Prohibition was meant to reduce the consumption of alcohol, and thereby reduce crime, poverty, death rates, and improve the economy and general quality of life. This, however, was undoubtedly to no avail. After the Volstead Act was put into place to determ .....

.... weren’t for their existence. Right from the start of the play he doubts the importance of things. We are introduced to his philosophy in his second line when he says, “For hair falling out... two ounces of naphthalene in half a bottle of alcohol… to be dissolved and used daily...Let's make a note of it! No, I don't want it… It doesn't matter.” At the point when he is drunk, he takes this philosophy to a higher level and believes that his life and others are pointless. Chebutykin seems to be an intelligent and pleasant man because of the way he treats other people and talks but now he has withdrawn from this and taken to alcohol. He feels like he is shallow yet .....

.... for Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, and others to appear, and organized publicity for this seminal event. Allen Cohen-Allen Cohen was a young poet from New York, drawn to the Haight-Ashbury by the prevailing bohemian spirit. One night, he dreamed of a psychedelic “rainbow-colored” newspaper, which would be seen throughout the world. With the support and funding of interested locals, the first issue of “The Oracle” appeared on the streets of the Haight-Ashbury in September, 1966. With its stunning split-fountain printing and psychedelic artwork, The Oracle was one of the most beautiful newspapers ever printed. At its peak, over 100,000 copies a month were .....
