They did not believe in any Bible or other books to tell them what to do, they lived by the theory of a higher power and spirits. they believed the Indian mind to be split into two parts, the spiritual and the physical. The spiritual was concerned with only the essence of things. On the contrary, the physical allowed one to see only things that were evident, avert danger or hunting. Each Indian had these qualities and they were all pure. From birth on, each Indian was a good person, not labeled bad or thought to have an evil .....

The Downfall Of Music Today
Number of words: 706 - Number of pages: 3.... they are trying to achieve through music videos. Bands like Limp Bizkit and Korn are chief examples of groups who try to attain a hard-core image but are failing. They claim to have a large underground following but in reality they are just another MTV band that is identified by its multi-million dollar music videos. If you have to spend that much money on a video you must be compensating for something. This is true with groups like the Backstreet Boys, N’sync and Brittany Spears. Without their music videos they would be nothing. The songs that these groups produce are very simpl .....

African And Native American Slavery
Number of words: 645 - Number of pages: 3.... They figured that when the White
Man came and showed all that hospitality they meant it. Of course, they didn't,
the Europeans captured the Indians to be used as slaves. They were also
slaughtered and raped because of resistance to leave their land. If any Indians
refused to leave their land they would be killed. The women were raped for sick
and disgusting reasons. Europeans didn't feel that the women, or men for that
matter, were worth anything as humans so they were beat and raped without any
thought about what they might be doing.
As we watched the movie Roots, I noticed a pa .....

HUME Vs KANT Causality
Number of words: 1751 - Number of pages: 7.... back to its impression, it was too abstruse. Hume separated the objects of human reason into two categories. First, the relation of ideas, which represented all that is ‘a priori’. Secondly, he created the category of matters of fact. Matters of fact made up the ‘a posteriori’ piece of the spectrum of reason. Matters of fact are contingent, meaning they could be otherwise.
In order to go beyond the objects of human reason, Hume proposed that reasoning was based upon cause and effect. Causal relations help us to know things beyond our immediate vicinity. All of our knowledg .....

Why Limp Bizkit Is NOT Heavy Metal
Number of words: 444 - Number of pages: 2.... Limp Bizkit, use Rap Turn-Tables and synthesizers to aid their mindless and annoying "ado do cha" beat. They sing and talk with an ebonic slur, as they shake their bodies erratically, making criss-cross motions with their hands, and raising each foot in turn while crouching. All this can be seen being performed by a common Rap fan or Rap artist. These points reinforce the fact that Limp Bizkit is Rap and not Heavy Metal.
Limp Bizkit is Rap and not Heavy Metal because all their song lyrics are laced with "gangsta-rap" lingo. For example,

Number of words: 3251 - Number of pages: 12.... popular. Today, in the late 1990’s rap music continues to be a prominent and important aspect of African- American culture.
Rap music was a way for youths in black inner city neighborhoods to express what they were feeling, seeing, and living and it became a form of entertainment. Hanging out with friends and rapping or listening to others rap kept black youths out of trouble in the dangerous neighborhoods in which they lived. The dominant culture did not have a type of music that filled the needs of these youth, so they created their own. So, rap music originally emerged as a way "fo .....

Articles Of Confederation
Number of words: 767 - Number of pages: 3.... for. Congress was charged with responsibility for
conducting foreign relations, declaring war or peace,
maintaining an army and navy, settling boundary disputes,
establishing and maintaining a postal service, and various
lesser functions. Some of these responsibilities were
shared with the states, and in one way or another Congress
was dependent upon the cooperation of the states for
carrying out any of them.
Four visible weaknesses of the articles, apart from
those of organization, made it impossible for Congress to
execute its constitutional duties. .....

Lysistrata
Number of words: 1220 - Number of pages: 5.... in Athens
while the younger men are out on campaign. When their husbands return
from battle, the women refuse to have sex with them. This sex strike,
which is portrayed in a series of (badly) exaggerated and blatant sexual
innuendoes, finally convinces the men of Athens and Sparta to agree to a
peace treaty.
The Lysistrata shows women acting bravely and even aggressively against
men who seem resolved on ruining the city-state by prolonging a
pointless war and excessively expending reserves stored in the
Acropolis. This in turn added to the destruction of their family life
