.... for an independent Arab State in former ottoman Arab Provinces, including Palestine. The first war began as a civil conflict between Palestinian Jews and Arabs following the United Nations recommendation of Nov. 29, 1947, to partition Palestine, then still under British mandate, into an Arab state and a Jewish state. Fighting quickly spread as Arab guerrillas attacked Jewish settlements. Jewish forces prevented seizure of most settlements, but Arab guerrillas, supported by the Trans-jordanian Arab Legion under the command of British officers, besieged Jerusalem. By April, Haganah, the principal Jewish military group, seized the offensive, sc .....

.... from their tyrant. In this document, it states, "All men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The great men who wrote this down had a strong sense of morals. They believed that men were given rights by God that no one could take away. This is essential to the issue of morality because it determines the rights-that are agreed upon all- are wrong. This brings us to religion. Religion is a major contributor to how we think and act because it mirrors our beliefs in what we hold as right or wrong. An example of this is .....

.... in French; in fact, he felt they needed no explanation. Frequent explication of his views, mixed with Matisse’s inspired advocation of his own way of painting, failed to entertain Picasso, and thus most viewed him as a rather disagreeable character. Still Picasso returned each Saturday to sit aloof and observe the conversation of Paris’ elite intellectuals. It was not until Picasso began his portrait of Gertrude Stein that their relationship began to flourish. Over ninety sittings brought Stein to Bateau Lavoir to be Picasso’s first live model in years. Rodenbeck in her essay entitled “Insistent Presence in Picasso’s Portrait of .....

.... came. The Ancient Egyptians had a very interesting background and culture which led to very interesting myths. In Ancient Egypt the father was the head of the family, and upon his death the son stepped into the head position. Due to a loose culture the women had almost as many rights as men. Women could own land, buy and sell goods, make a will, and obtain a divorce. In Egypt like in most other places only a small percentage of boys and girls attended school, and they were from upper class families. Most boys took on their fathers trade while the girls were taught by their mothers the ways of wife and motherhood. Throughout most o .....

.... known. His teachings were never written down by him, but his conversations and sayings were written down by his disciples in the analects. CONFUCIANISM Confucianism was the single most important thing in Chinese life. It affected everything in China; education, government, and attitudes toward behavior in public and private life. Confucianism is not a religion, but it is more a philosophy and a guide to morality and good government. At the time Confucius was born, China was in a constant state of war, and rapid political change altered the structure of Chinese society so much that people no longer respe .....

.... leave it be. The early Israelites believed that a messiah would return as promised from God. It is then believed that God’s kingdom would reign and the good will be vindicated. Jesus used parables such as the ones in Mathew :13 to teach faith to his followers. The parables were stories that used physical things that his followers could understand. Parables that Jesus used had special meanings which would teach a certain aspect of the religion to the followers. The parables that Jesus used were not for everyone. They were for those who chose to listen and take the teachings to heart. Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is all a .....

.... pushing their agendas were hastily assassinated. First consider Tiberius Gracchus. It is imperative to analyze his style of leadership and his political strategies.

Tiberius tried fairly and squarely to gain the support of the Roman senate, but this effort was to no avail. Tiberius then resorted to unfavorable tactics when he impeached another tribune, Octavius, the major opponent of Tiberius’ bill. Thus Tiberius willingly destroyed the long-held and quite favored notion of an immune tribune. However, this is .....

.... second bomb necessary? Was Japan about to surrender? Was there a way to end the war less savagely? Would our current leaders have made the same decision? Was any authority opposed to the idea? Should we have bombed military bases instead of cities? These and many other questions arise. Before these are analyzed, a brief background on the bombs and the tests are in order (O’Neal 47). When a man from the Soviet Union successfully split an atom, the question of a bomb immediately arose. Einstein wrote a letter to President Truman stating that if a bomb was possible then the country to own it would have complete power. In light of this .....
