CHRISTMAS STORMS This following essay is going to be about the story of Christmas Storms and  Sunshine, and how the events that occur are related to two values,which are citizenship and commitment. This is a very important and unique story because its events and plot lead to a very important moral in life. Christmas storms and sunshine does not have an specific setting , neither place and time.  Just says it was named the Victorian Era, and for the background story that everything may happen in British.

THE LADY OF SHALOTT The following essay is going to be about the Story The Lady Of Shalott and the personal view of the author on how is this text related to values, specifically patience and caring. The poem narrates the life of this Lady (that has no name in the story) that lives in Shalott Island. Even to the natives, this woman was a mystery, no one has ever seen her. This woman is sentenced to live in a very tall and gloomy tower for the rest of her life. She is not allowed to go out because there is a spell within her body structure that does not allow her as I mentioned to go out and also just to simply look out of the only window she had.

Now described the situation, in my point of view , the poem has everything to  do with patience,  she actually did have a lot of patience because she was just spending, not living her lif...

In this essay I am going to talk about how the values of fairness and justice are applied to the story of “A modest proposal” by Jonathan Swift. The point of this author in his essay is to confront the Irish society with the working and living conditions of the less fortunate of Ireland. This essay is wiring with satire and with what we call “black humor”. Most of the people who read this story didn’t really understand that it wasn’t literal so this lead to a lot of bad critics. The values of justice and fairness are not really applied to the story if we see the story in a way of critique, for example how can we see fairness if in the story the proposal of the author is that poor people to reduce overpopulation are almost obligated to sell their babies to people with a lot of money for them to eat their children, this wouldn’t be fair because fairness is basically treating people in a way who is right or reasonable and clearly selling a baby for people to eat it isn’t right and it is k...

This nation shares boundaries with four different countries, Panama at the North that once was part of Colombia, Venezuela at the East side, Ecuador at the West side and finally Brazil.

These are facts that prove why Colombia is such a rich country. Another amazing thing about this incredible p...

Discrimination is a social problem that has been seen since historians can take track of human kind. Discrimination can be' performed ' towards men and women that have any type of condition or characteristics , and however along the time the stigma that men are the ones who are in charge of the leadership slowly has been slowly modified, there's a lot to be fixed. Causes of rejection in women all over concentrates in that the society we live in , is commanded by a patriarchy mentality. And the definition of patriarchy is a system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it, and it basically explains why women are discriminated and restricted to many work related activities and labeled to do certain things and to act in determinating ways. The first examples of this is that many companies don't allow women to be their leaders, they lowkey do not accept that they are capable of doing "men's job" effectively b...

The following text is going to be about a controversial and sensible topic, and that is violence against women and children worldwide. And in order to accomplish this task , also this text is going to be providing real life examples of the many forms of violence all around the world. It is good to expose that any treatment such as bashing and shaming is considered a violent act. But after explaining all this, there is no lie that since the beginning, the image society has about women is that they are the vulnerable gender. Even though nowadays the stigma of being the inferior being has been slowly clarified, through all the feminists movements, campaigns, advertisements, the society we live in still tolerates the fact that women are mistreated in plenty forms , and many of the time violently. For instance, women for not being as "though" as men are  seen as not capable of accomplishing as many as goals as men and even to perform some activities as effective as men. Mor...

The following text is going to be about of the author on an specific topic, which is the process of the democratic elections that were recently performed in Colombia, in order to choose the 258 members of the senate chamber and the two candidates that are going to run for presidency. It is affirmative to state that the elections in Colombia wee democratic because every person with the colombian nationality had the opportunity to vote for the candidate they stand for thanks to all the voting centers stipulated all around the country and even out of it, problem who where not located in Colombia had the chance to profess their right of suffrage through the colombian consulate in the placement they were in. As well I consider this past elections to be democratic since every colombian could see the variety of candidates, however not only political parties, but of all the foundation of ideals that were within those political parties.

In this essays topic is on discussion how should this religious event conforming to the authors of this text opinion. Chrsitmas is a worldwide festivity for people whom firmly believe Jesus Christ is the depiction of God. This holiday is celebrated in order to praise the Messiahs arrival to Earth. Because of the previous mentioned facts, we can infere that this is a religous date. So in my opinion this holy day, christians and other religions that see Jesus Christ as the one and only, should spend this day with family and/or friends, with the inital objective of appreciating this ethereal being.  However I also think, If people rather to perform all the traditions of this period of the year such as, the ornament of the christmas tree, the exchange of gifts and dinner at midnight, the mistletoe decoration, it is completely fine, even though divers scriptures of the Holy Bible state this are blasphemous actions towards God. According to my point of view this is kind ...

The objective of this essay is to determinate whether Christmas is a religious event or a commercial date. In this text I am going to state my point of view on the topic. Lets explain the definition of this holy word Christmas, it means mass of Christ. This a religious festivity for Christians and catholics believers , which is performed in December, specifically the twentieth five day of this month because it is claimed that this was the Messiah's nativity . The early Roman Church established this date in order to praise our "Savior's birthday". After saying all this , is good to mention that Christmas is a tradition that almg the years, such as everything has changed and not precisely for the best means. The merchandizing, advertising and the pressure of spending money are factors that make this special epoch a commercial festival and actually the most one. To summarize, accordingly to my opinión Christmas is a date that most of Christians do not celebrate ...

Both explained how the moon was ¨born¨ In both of the stories there was the presence of people with creative powers. The two of the literary works are unrealistic. In the twain of the narratives there were animals. CONTRAST  In Genesis there was nothing , while in The World on the Turtle´s Back there was already an ocean. In Genesis the land was made bhy God but in the The World on the Turtle´s Back land was made by the Wife. In The World on the Turtle´s Back there was more than one god unlike Genesis where there was just one. In The World on the Turtle´s Back did not exist any humans meanwhile in Genesis there were two.
