.... slowly started to take over the lives of many. Families became less “family oriented”; family time, for the most part, was now spent in front of the TV.

I suppose it could be concluded that from this, TV dinners came about; a quick and easy way to make a half way decent meal so that special program wouldn’t have to be missed. Today, television has created a lot of commotion. From the amount of time people spend watching it, .....

.... Chapel of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence. These frescoes were started by Masolino and ultimately completed by Fillipinno Lippi years after Masaccio’s death. This chapel is now a significant monument in the history of art. These frescoes had a tremendous impact on Florentine art thereof, and were used as a basis to teach new artists like Michelangelo and Raphael.

.... There has been conjecture that Iraq continues to disregard the no-flight-zones so that they may be pursued by U.S. warplanes, in hopes to perhaps capture a U.S. pilot in an elaborate blackmailing plot. This military clash was just one of the three military clashes which has happened in the past two or so weeks. Despite the close encounter, President Hussein stated that he would continue to send warplanes over the no-flight-zones. These blatant disregards for the no-flight-zone restrictions seem to be part of Saddam Hussein’s plan to force the UN to withdraw weapons inspect .....

.... second of these three values is responsibility and respect to one's family and elders, and responsibility and respect to others families and elders. This is most evident in Confucius' writings. He is constantly stressing family values and responsibility. One quote that shows this is "Let the sole sorry of your parents be that you might become ill."

.... and became a blazing inferno consuming the lives of the men, women, and children who crossed its incendiary path. After World War I, the social climate in Germany was dismal. The German people were humiliated by their country's defeat and by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The economic depression that resulted left millions of individuals out of work. The German government was weak, and the people sought new leadership. These conditions provided an opportune setting for a new leader, Adolf Hitler, and his party, the National Socialist German Workers Party. Hitler, manic and cha .....

.... decent houses in which the girls could live. These houses were supervised by older women who made sure that the girls lived by strict moral standards. The girls were encouraged to go to church, to read, to write and to attend lectures. They saved part of their earnings to help their families at home or to use when they got married.

This quote taken from the seventh chapter of Jordan's Gibbon and his Roman Empire sum up my feelings concerning the work; however, I will attempt to show some of Gibbon's Causes for this decline. Two of Gibbon's causes are the political blunders of its emperors and their search for personal glory. These are especially obvious in his chapters on Constantine. In them Gibbon accuses the emperor of destroying Rome for his own personal glory. Another cause would have to be the anti-Roman nature of Christianit .....
