“But if injury ensues, you shall give life for life, eye, for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.” These words, stated from Exodus 21:23-25, are often used to justify the death penalty and serve as a purpose to make punishment fit crime. In today’s society the Catholic Church teaches that capital punishment erodes respect for life, which was clearly evident in Dad Man Walking. Through Catholic beliefs, as well as viewpoints, we see how Dead Man Walking ties in with the Church’s teaching.

Despite Willy’s claims that his sickness activates as a result of his two children, Biff and Happy, and his desire for them to meet success, his true sickness originates from his own personal flaws, those mainly being his poor judgment and weak character. Throughout the play Death of a Salesman, Willy is influenced by the media and seems to believe everything he hears. Willy believes, for example, that his refrigerator should be top notch because Linda says, “[it] got the biggest ads of any of them” (Miller, page 36). One may take this idea as fact, and immediately assume that the media is the ultimate cause for Willy’s stress and, in turn, illness. Examined more in depth, however, and one could conclude that Willy’s problem is a deeper one, one which launches as a result of his weak character and poor judgment.

The “Scramble for Africa” could not have been better timed than during the industrialization of Europe. Under such slogans as ending slavery and civilizing the barbarians, the Europeans marched into Africa to divide the wealth of a continent.

Through chartered companies, the governments at home were able to profit, while those companies exercised political, as well as military control of the Africans.

"Oh, well tell her that I came by and just to give me a call, OK?" Tony said. "One problem" Tim said. "Oh, and what's that?" Tony replied. "Didn't Gwen tell you?" Tim said "we don't have a phone, or a T.V or any other appliances, we are gutterpunks. Why do you think we live in this shed?" "Well I guess I will just come back later" Tony said with a strange look on his face.

As early as 300BC, Egyptians have referred to Mars as “Horus of the Horizon”. From the beginning that this massive red rock that boarders the terrestrial planets in their orbit around The Sun has been discovered, it has mystified and left civilians and mainly scientists wondering if there will ever be a chance that our neighboring planet will ever be set foot on by a human being living on our planet, Earth. Mars has been extensively researched and tested in the best of scientist’s ability and technology that was available to them at their point in history for hundreds of years. In 1894, The Lowell Observatory was established specifically to study Mars and all the wonders that our neighboring planet has to offer. As the years have passed and technology has improved, more and more information has been discovered about Mars and hypothesis made on if there was ever life on Mars, and if there could ever be life on Mars again. Photographs have been taken from high-tech telescopes and rationales have been made from the discovery of other objects in the heavens, such as Pluto, suggesting that Mars either had or could have life on its surface someday.

Women lose their identity as soon as they get married and begin a family. Every little girl dreams of getting married and raising a family, because this is what women are taught to seek at an early age. When a woman achieves this goal, she loses her identity due to the many roles that she is now forced to play. Once married, a woman is expected to be a mother, nurturer, housekeeper, teacher, doctor, cook, chauffeur, and more increasingly, a career woman. Women are forced to carry out these roles because of society's traditional view of the role women should play, and young women are pressured to follow in their mother's footsteps. Because a woman's life revolves around her children and husband, her responsibilities are never far from thought. Consequently, women lose their identity because they are so caught up in being a wife and mother that they no longer have time to pursue their own desires and goals.
