The model breaks down culture into easy to look at portions, which makes it easier for both student and teacher to study. The end of the article is dedicated to giving a lesson plan and examples of how to use the model and implement culture into the classroom.

.... through the mountain passes straight to Pampelona.

Apart from the moral effect of this campaign upon the Moslem rulers of Spain, its result was insignificant, though the famous ambuscade in which perished Roland, the great Paladin, at the Pass of Roncesvalles, furnished to the medieval world the material for its most glorious and influential epic, the "Chanson de Roland". Much more important to posterity were the next succeeding events which c .....

However, when Senator Stoddard came back for Doniphon’s funeral, no one knew who Doniphon was. He died with Liberty. The even sadder thing was that he killed his own self in a sense, as he killed Liberty. The audience was meant to feel this, though as the free and .....

.... father was part of one's honor and had to be done. All three of the sons swore vengeance and then acted towards getting revenge for the deaths of their fathers. Because of all of this, revenge is a major theme in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Fortinbras took his revenge out in a proper way and rose to power in the end. Both Laertes and Hamlet, however, used force to accomplish their revenge. The lack of thought used in exacting their revenge led to the deaths of both Laertes and Hamlet. When Laertes found out about his father's death, he immediately returned home and confronted the king with accusations of the murder of his father. When Claudi .....

.... the foremost corrupting influence on the Islamic world today. The Hizballah have taken this further by labeling the Unites States as "the Great Satan."(22) This growing animosity the Islamic nations feel toward the Western world has been continually demonstrated by the increase in international terrorism. However, Muslims do not view their actions as acts of terrorism, but self defense and their religious duty.

.... about issues such as witchcraft. Since there were laws against being a witch, the people thought that witches were therefore bad and used the laws to their advantage to point fingers at those of whom they were jealous, or wanted vengeance upon. As another example, contributed to the case of Quok Walker resulted in polarization of the people about the issue of slavery. Although American society has evolved considerably over the past few centuries, there are still refinements needed. Our current congress, I believe, takes too long to make simple decisions.

.... A very disturbing aspect of this case is the overwhelming evidence that some in the Federal Government had prior knowledge of the impending disaster in Oklahoma City. If this is the case, could they have done something to protect those in danger? Was a truck bomb allowed to roam our streets? And was this a “sting operation� that ended in tragedy? Officials deny these allegations, but evidence outlined here suggests they did know. Carol Howe, an informant recruited by ATF agents in 1994, reported that al least two months before the Oklahoma City bombing, members of a white separatist group had been staking-out federal buildi .....
