Mobile Food Pantry Paper
The most memorable chance to serve others this semester has been volunteering at the Mobile Food Pantry through the Community Compassion
Network. On November 14, a group of Honors Students spent several hours sorting and distributing a whole truckload of food, which was out to over
three hundred people in need.
When I chose to participate in this event, I knew that I would be handing out food to people who are less fortunate than I am. However, what I did not
know just how many people from Isabella County were in need of groceries and food to eat. I had been told that Isabella County was one of the
poorest counties in Michigan, which is also true of my home county, Montmorency. This cause is close to my heart because many people from my...

Next, we were told to mingle around and make the guests feel comfortable. In Finch Fieldhouse was hundreds of people who were here to receive
the food we provided, and each of them had their own story to tell. I spent about a half an hour talking and getting to know some of them while we
waited for the food truck to arrive. When it arrived I helped unload some of the boxes of food, which were surprisingly varied. I expected to see loads
and loads of non–perishable foods, but instead I unloaded potatoes, apples, cakes and squash. I prepared bags to hand out, and arranged them on the
tables. The people of the community began to line up, and I volunteered at the dessert table. Every person who went by was given one or two
desserts like cookies, donuts, pie or cake. I could see the happiness on their faces as I handed out treats and laughed with them. The most
memorable moment was when a young girl and her father came through the line. They had been waiting in line almost the whole time, and the
dessert stand was the last table. When they walked by, I asked the young girl what kind of dessert she wanted, and she looked at her father as if to
ask permission. He told her to pick one out, and she quietly asked for a cake. I spent some time searching for the perfect cake, one that had chocolate

Bill of Rights & Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen...
The Bill of Rights and Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen are based on the same principles of natural rights; therefore each document is
similar in protecting the people's natural rights. However, despite their similarities, their differences are apparent due to the social situations in which
they were adopted. The Bill of Rights stood to protect the freedoms of each individual by establishing a democratic government. The French
Revolution eliminated the hierarchy of class and established equality among men with the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen. Several influences
from past philosophers and documents assisted the frame work of the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Rights and Citizen. Declarations of the Rights...

"Property being an inviolable and sacred right, no one may be deprived of it except when public necessity..." The Declarations of Rights of Man and
Citizen differ to the Bill of Rights because of the different social and economic institutions. The Bills Of Rights protect citizens through the security of
the government. The ten amendments don't directly address the rights of individuals, instead allow the government to enforce them, such as; congress
will make no law inflicting rights of speech, press, and religion. These are objectives of the government to keep in tact, not necessary a right upon an
individual. However, in the Rights of Man and Citizen it addresses the individual and their equality before the law. In article four it announces that
liberty is based on the individual not to harm another. Thus, has no limits but the law will determine the limits. In article one it states, "Men are born
and remain free and equal in rights."4 The diction in the Declaration gives the impression of the equality among individuals first, than law will follow.
It contrasts to the Bill of Rights; which established a government for law, to protect the rights of individuals. In The Declaration addressed the
responsibility of individuals and general will to mold the law. The Bill of Rights was ratified together with the Constitution in 1791. The Bill Rights

Abbot Suger Of St. Denis And The Rise Of Gothic Architecture
Enrio Rico Evangelista
Professor Rui de Sousa
Medieval Civilization Section 11
18 November 2015
Abbot Suger of St. Denis and the Rise of Gothic Architecture Religion has always been a part of our identity. Today, the population wander around the
world seeing these wonderful churches and religious buildings all around us. The architectural style of the Middle Ages was very prominent: high stone
vaults, internal elevations of multiple stories, rounded arches, and thick walls. This was characterized as Romanesque architecture. Suger revolutionized
everything. He reworked these ideas and introduced, to the world, what is now known as the Gothic architectural style. Although Gothic architecture

People were criticizing the new building and was not very keen of the idea of renovation. Suger still pushed for his project and fulfill his dreams to
glorify the church. He began to rebuilt the church in 1137. One of the reasons behind this construction was that he was not contended with the dark and
sinister style of Romanesque architecture. He wanted the church to be an expression of modernity and enlightenment. (Verdon and Dally 190–191).
Suger considered it as modern because it was not heavy looking and inspiring. His critics, including Bernard of Clairvaux, called it "Gothic" because it
was unrefined, barbaric and non–Roman (Bradbury 295). These criticisms were all wrong because it was completely renewed and this symbolized the
top achievement of the medieval civilization. However, they were right that it was completely not Roman. This building represented the apex of
achievement because, after centuries of being under the influence of the Roman empire, Suger gave birth to something new, something extravagant and

Jean Jacques Rousseau Research Paper
Jean– Jacques Rousseau and Karl Marx were both well renowned philosophers who have contributed vastly to society through their works, their
philosophical thinking, and their revolutionary like mind set. However, compared to many other theorists we covered in class, Rousseau and Marx are
very critical towards the contemporary society. The contemporary society or one could say the modern society, in existence to the time being and the
social features it connects thorough, contains human interconnection, evolution of ways of life, and anthropological and ecological transformation.
Both Rousseau and Marx view society as representative of a form of inauthenticity or alienation. However, in order to understand why they view

Rousseau believed that man was born good, but it is society that corrupts him. In a state of nature, there is no war, people are isolated, desires are
minimal, and people lived for themselves. It is when people are hurled into society where the corruption begins. For Rousseau, he saw that society's
negative influence of men centers on the transformation of self–love, which we wish to preserve, that when combined with reason creates a fear that
allows men to take pleasure in the pain and weakness of others. Evil, greed, and selfishness emerges as human society begans to develop. And as
society grows stronger, these ailments grow stronger with. In Discourse on the Arts and Sciences, Rousseau states that the arts and sciences had not
been beneficial to man–kind because they are not human needs, but rather the result of pride and vanity. And these technological opportunities lead to
further corruption and in a way makes the government more powerful at the expense of freedom. Also, due to advances in science and technology the
people who had a talent in this field grew with and those who did not have that talent were left behind, thus causing inequality. And with all of this
came dependency. Those who have talent to create them were dependent by those who bought and sold those products. And so, everyone become

Essay on Major-General James Wolfe
The history books should be re–written as to include Major–General James Wolfe as one of the founding fathers of our country. During the Seven years
War he served as part of the British military and was the commander–in–chief of the British, American, and Highlander forces at the Battle of Quebec.
His plan of attack up the Anse du Foulon to the Plains of Abraham was not only incredibly daring, but highly effective as it was this decisive move that
allowed Wolfe's army to capture the city of Quebec. He caught the French forces completely off guard and was therefore able to even out the numbers
to almost completely even fighting forces. The question that lies ahead of me in this paper is to answer a two part question to the best of my ... Show

In response Wolfe rebutted with the statement, "My commission is at your Highness's disposal, but I can never consent to be an executioner" (Hart,
216). In this act, Wolfe was able to show that one person can be enthralled with war without being consumed by it entirely.
In previous courses that I have partaken in it had always been told that Captain James Wolfe was a "mad–man at the end of his wit," and that his attack
at the Anse du Foulon was a "last ditch effort for Wolfe to die with honor on the field of battle." Indeed James Wolfe had his share of problems.
Before being able to rejoice in being promoted to captain of the 4th Foot, he was passed the grave news that his brother Edward, one year his
inferior, had died from the inclement conditions at Flanders. However, Wolfe was one of the lucky people who understood death as part of war.
Wolfe's main problem was the way that the military was handled by those in charge. Speaking on the refusal for his leave to Metz to study in
artillery, he sent a private letter in which he described his unhappiness with their (his superiors) decision; "They oppose the only method that can be
fallen upon to preserve any knowledge of military affairs in the army." "This is a dreadful mistake and, if obstinately pursued, will disgust a number of
good intentions, and preserve that prevailing ignorance of military affairs that has been so fatal to us in all our undertakings ..."

The Analysis of "The Irish Stew" by J.Jerome

give high praise of his works and some literature critics thought that his novels and romances didn't concern serious and actual problems of life being a
little bit senselessness. But these suggestions were erroneous. On the contrary we can see his attitude to modern English reality and how he discloses
absurdity of well–established norms of behavior, morals and manners. Jerome is best known for the humorous travelogue "Three Men in a Boat".
The novel narrates about three fellows George, Harris, Jerome, who discuss their problems with health of which they suffer so much. So they take a

The author uses different stylistic devises to communicate to reader his image and a comic situation happened to him as exact as he can. Actions of
George seem to be really silly because he tries to present himself as an expert in this sphere, we can understand by his yearning to make a dinner, for
example he wants to show his friends what could be done up the river in the way of cooking. And soon in the end of the extract reader can see the
result of his attempts to do an Irish stew.
Harry plays there a role of such kind of a man who is a chap and simpleton. We can see the funny side of the situation when he is ready to add a
dead–water rat into the stew. He is a nice fellow and takes everything easy despite of George's big words about the precedent.
Special attention should be also paid to the narrator Jerome. It's a usual thing the presence of the narrator in Jerome's works of art. Here the narrator
Jerome plays an important role, it means that he steadily observes everything that happens and notices all the nonsense of life, and moreover he
comments on this or that situation speaking ironically of it. For example the situation with the dead–water rat, he thinks over if it is such kind of sarcasm
or a real desire to make a contribution to the dinner. The purpose of the narrator is not the fighting with man's vices, it is a desire to show things as

Previously France had been ruled by Henry II, a strong experienced ruler. It was, however, an unfortunate jousting accident lead to the swift decline
of the French monarchy. Henry's successor, Francis II, was only fifteen years old on his accession to the throne in 1559. He was inexperienced and

Francis Duke of Guise quickly assumed control of the army, church and foreign affairs. The Montmorency family had been stripped of office. The
sudden shift of power towards the Guise family heightened tensions between the aristocratic factions.
The monarchy in France operated through a clientage system. The King was at the apex and he would give money and protection to the clientage
beneath him, who, in return would offer the king loyalty. Those beneath him included large aristocratic families and below these families were the
nobility, and further down still, the lesser nobility. The three aristocratic families were therefore reliant on the nobility below them in the system for
support. In return they would give offices and jobs to their clients. Due to a weak monarchy this clientage system broke down. The clientage system
was a good way of exercising control over the major aristocratic families. However, in order for such a system to function there needed to be a strong
monarch and a large sum of money, neither of which were available in 1559. After the vast amount of money spent in the Hapsburg– Valios wars the
royal treasury was drained of resources. The monarchy not only lacked a strong ruler but was also economically weak. It meant that the King could no
longer keep the aristocratic families under control by the means of the clientage system. The Guise's, who had

Villehardouin: Grandeur and Nobility Essay
Geoffroy de Villehardouin was a French noble born in the middle of the twelfth century who participated in the Fourth Crusade. After the crusade he
wrote Chronicles of the Crusades which covers not only the foundation of the Fourth Crusade and events up through the conquest of Constantinople,
but the ensuing conflicts after as well. Prior to the crusade he was Marshal of Champagne, and while this did not give him direct experience in war he
probably took part in disputes in Champagne. This position probably gave him an administrative and military focus which explains the general
statesmanlike tone throughout the book, as well as his choice to describe strategies. Throughout the book, Villehardouin makes his religiosity clear.

This displays not only the way that Villehardouin looked at the world, but also the way his audience, the people of medieval Europe, perceived
events in a very religious context. Through most of the chronicle, Villehardouin says that God punishes those who sin and blesses the crusaders
with victories. Villehardouin describes that every deserter during the winter of Zara either drowned or was killed in Sclavonia. He also
emphasizes that all of those who went to Syria instead of Constantinople did nothing useful because it was not part of God's plan for them to go to
Syria. He even describes some of those who were captured or died uselessly in Syria as "one of the best knights in the world" or "one of the most
innocent souls alive". This implies that in Villehardouin's worldview, being of good character is irrelevant if you are not in alignment with the plans
of God. Similarly, he is confident that God wanted them to take Zara, otherwise the crusade would have fallen apart due to all those inside the army
who wanted it to disband,. a group which Villehardouin repeatedly notes. It seems that Villehardouin viewed the world as something that God acted
upon and that humans had to try to coincide with, or at least he wanted to share this view with his audience to create a certain tone. Even when the

Many people at this time did not like the stronghold the Guise had on the young Francis II and wished Francis to be freed of their influence. Prince
Code decided to free the King from the stronghold of the Guise as he was in rivalry with the Guise at court, so in August 1559 there where
discussions about a possible palace revolt. However this does not mean that Prince Code is doing this for the kings good, but because he wants the
Bourbon family to have influence at court. There is a great amount of factionalism at court due to the Guise stronghold over the king. However the
Bourbons where very cautious of the Guise after the treason of Constable Bourbon in 1523, and they resented the Guise as they believed they where
the rightful people to be the kings advisers. The principal conspirators along with Prince Code where Jean du Barry and Lord Renaudie, a Calvinist
nobleman. Renaudie loathed the Guise as he believed they where responsible for the execution of a relative, he gained 500 plotters for the conspiracy,
all members of the old word–nobility, who wanted 'to return the government of the kingdom to its ancient and legitimate form.' However he used

Neo– Classicism in France and the United States
The classical style of the ancient Athens, derived from Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome in the 15th century, has had a universal impact on many
cultures during previous time periods. The classical period reflected traditional forms focused on symmetry and elegance; it flourished during the time
of the Renaissance through artist such as Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo De Vinci. The artists' main goal was to attain the absolute beauty in
their art by showing emotion through detail, almost through perfection. Some examples of well–known classical arts during the Renaissance were
'Belvedere Torso' and the 'Medici Venus'. In the 17th century the classical style was revived, now called the neo
–classical style. It was born in Rome but
its popularity flourished all over Europe. The neo–classical movement clashed with the age of Enlightment and continued through the 19th century. The
neo–classical principles were based around the same characteristics as the classical arts such as: balance, proportion, order, simplicity, clarity, and
reason. It was strongest in architect, sculpture, and decorative arts. The neo– classical style continued to spread throughout the world and became
sought after in the 17th and 18th century in countries such as France and The United States, and it influenced some of the greatest government buildings
in America.
Neoclassicism can be seen as a political movement as well as an artistic and cultural one.

The Last September Essay
h bowen Published in 1929 The Last September written by Elizabeth Bowen highlights the difficulties which faced the Irish–Anglo genre. It was one of
many novels published in the nineteenth and twentieth century, based on "Big House" life in Ireland. Bowen herself is critical of the Anglo–Irish
gentry as she believes that they are responsible for the downfall in the society. The denial of their predicament and also their refusal to except change
had caused Bowen to be censorious of them. She expresses her points of symbolism, imagery and characterization using a variety of tactful
techniques. In the analysis these factors and techniques will be discussed in greater detail. " She was to later describe her writing as 'verbal paintings'...

The author emphasizes the pressure that is now forcing Lois to marry and to produce an heir so the property can be passed on for more
generations. Lois no longer sees "Big House" lifestyle as viable and therefore further adds to the confusion in which she is facing. " Lois, as the only
alternative heir, complains that she feels trapped in a " cocoon" and longs for some other kind of existence." (Genet., J, p149, 1991) The ante–room in
which Lois visits frequently serves no particular purpose and therefore symbolizes that indeed the room compares to Lois' feelings within herself of
feeling lost and lonely. "In her life – deprived as she saw it – there was no occasion for courage, which like an unused muscle slackened and slept"
(Bowen., E, p33, 1998) Another point which suggests Lois is lost and confused is the fact that often spends time walking outside the boundaries of the
house which symbolizes her need to escape from this faГ§ade, the so–called birthright of her generation. Fantasizing how life would be with out having
the responsibility of running the Danielstown House. Throughout the novel Bowen uses the unusual technique of personifying the Danielstown house.
It is a presence that becomes frequent throughout the poem. (For in February, before those leaves had visibly budded, the death– execution, rather of

The Battle Of Religion During The 16th And 17th Centuries
During the 16th and 17th centuries a series of religious wars raged throughout Europe. In the fight to gain religious tolerance it created a split
between the Catholics and the Protestants. The Dutch Revolt in the Spanish Netherlands was part of the series of religious wars in Europe. For ten
years, a civil war raged in the Netherlands between the Catholics and the Protestants. Religion and politics were at the center of this revolt. Calvinism
was spreading rapidly and became popular among the lower classes, lesser nobles, and town leaders. However, the strong Catholic King, Philip II
desired to eliminate Calvinism within his territories. Philip II believed if he tackled Calvinism, then it would enhance his power in his monarchy.
Therefore, politics were at the heart of this revolt since Philip II desired to impose Catholicism in an attempt to centralize his power in the Spanish
Netherlands. Furthermore, politics and religion were also at the center of the French Wars of Religion. The religious differences between the two
religious sects, the Huguenots and Roman Catholics, reveal that religion was also responsible for these series of wars in France. Therefore, politics
and religion were both at the heart of the French Wars of Religion because it created fractional rivalries between the major families in France, members
of the Royal Family made several attempts to sustain their power within the estate, and caused several religious battles between the Huguenots and the

When Silence Becomes the Most Powerful Scream
Elizabeth Bowen's The Last September is a wartime novel that tells the story of an Anglo–Irish family and their houseguests living in Ireland in the
midst of the Irish Independence war. Initially, thenovel seems to center on a love plot involving characters that seem to be frivolously navigating their
way through a series of dinners, tennis parties, and other such formalities. While there is a war going on in the background, the characters seem unable
to speak of it– and generally live in a way that would suggest that the war is all but a petty annoyance that only marginally impacts their life. However,

While it may seem like the penetrating silence on the part of the characters is a result of their lack of appreciation for the gravity of the war, Bowen
slowly and powerfully reveals through the detailed reality of her characters' lives that their muteness is a silence of survival rather than a silence of
nonchalance or dispassion. Ultimately, the characters become utterly caught between their Irish and English identities. Any shred of self–awareness or
verbalization can be perceived as expressing loyalty to one side over the other and therefore silence becomes their only mechanism of survival. Thus,
The Last September becomes dominated by an intense muteness and instability on the part of the Anglo–Irish as they struggle with their deep cultural
confusion and paralyzing insecurities. Eventually, Bowen's silence on the part of her characters leads to a far more powerful expression of the anxiety

Battle of the Plains of Abraham Essay example
Sealing the Fate of North America The battle of the Plains of Abraham was fought on the 13th of September 1759. It was the result of a three–month
British siege of the French North American capital of Quebec City. Although the battle lasted for a short period of time, involved comparatively few
troops, and caused few casualties, the effects of the battle were far reaching. The British victory at the battle resulted both in the death of the French
general – the Marquis de Montcalm – and the British major general James Wolf. More importantly, the battle resulted in the capture of Quebec, which
in turn, led to the capture of the remaining French territories of North America. In the previous years of French and Indian war – the North... Show more

The battle resulted in 644 French casualties to 658 British dead. Following the battle, the majority of the French army abandoned Quebec and the
defensive works to the East of the City, marching west to combine with the 3,000 men. Quebec was left under the command of
Jean–Baptiste–Nicolas–Roch de Ramezay who, on the 18th surrendered Quebec to the British. The battle had a huge impact on the war in North
America. The remaining French troops attempted to re–take Quebec but were unable due to lack of siege equipment and reinforcements. French forces
retreated to their last Canadian stronghold – Montreal. Montreal, in turn, surrendered on the 8th of September 1760. Following the capture of
Montreal, French resistance had collapse, and there were no more real threats to the new British territories of North America. In the treaty of Paris,
which officially ended the 7 years war in North America, France ceded the Louisiana territory to Spain to compensate for Spain's losses, and
regained Guadeloupe and Martinique as well as Saint Pierre and Miquelon and fishing rights in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence. While the Battle of the
Plains of Abraham was not particularly large and caused few deaths on both sides, it was one of the most important battles fought on Canadian soil.
The results were the deaths of the Marquis de Montcalm and general Wolf, as well as the British capture of Quebec. The capture of the city

As a food product, chocolate provides most of the substances required for human nutrition, with roasted beans containing approximately 15 to proteins,
20 to carbohydrates, and fat, as well as a variety of minerals. Fat is a key factor in achieving high quality taste in most confectionery goods, and fat
generally constitutes the highest component of ingredient cost, particularly for the premium quality chocolate segment. This high fat content is
derived from cocoa butter, which is also responsible for many of chocolate's distinctive characteristics, including its brittle, non–greasy texture at or
below room temperatures; excellent keeping qualities, which reduces the risk of spoilage; and rapid melting at close to http://ng.cengage.com/static

Research Paper On Suger Of St-Denis
Abbot Suger of Saint–Denis(1081–1151) helped define and popularize two things in his lifetime: the Gothic architectural style and the peacekeeping
and feudal mission of the Capetian monarchy, which enabled their ascension to dominance in medieval France. Suger has been regarded as the first
person to recognize, describe, and analyze the socio–political structure of Capetian France as a feudal hierarchy, a pyramid of tenure with the king at its
top (Grant 3). He is also commonly seen as an influential ideologist, a man who glorified the Capetian monarchy. Suger is best known for his
architectural reconstruction of the Saint Denis abbey church, of which the renovations' purpose were not only for the monks' benefits, but also for the
populace... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The worshipers that arrived largely contributed to the economic boom that helped spread Saint–Denis' innovations (Gilgoff). On religious feast days,
displays of holy relics were used to lure in worshipers by the church while tradespeople set up shop outside. Merchants knew there would be a surge
of people on feast days, which also meant more people attended feast days because of the large number of merchants. The economical boom was also
fed by surges in "agricultural production, the advent of currencies, and increased trade" (Gilgoff). The later half of the twelfth century was one of rapid
and immense development in economical, political, and cultural matters. By 1150, Paris was inarguably the most important city in Capetian lands.
Trading patterns now favoured the Seine river nexus, with its access to the Channel and North Sea rim, instead of the Loire. Louis VI had invested
heavily in the urbanization of Paris, both politically and economically, by building new bridges and setting up an important new market in Champeaux

The Battle Of Quebec And The British Army
The Battle of Quebec took place on 13 September 1759. This battle was part of the French and Indian War between the French Army and the British
Army. The French–Indian war was the North American front of the Seven Years' War, which was fought on the European continent and on the Indian
subcontinent. The outcome of the Battle Of Quebec would prove pivotal in determining who would control Canada. The British exhibited successful
tactics in deception, exploited false assumptions, took audacious actions, and benefited from unity of effort. The French suffered due to a lack of
standardization between regular army and militia members, which led to an embarrassing defeat at Quebec. Events leading to the Battle Many
European empires began serious colonization efforts of North America in the1500's. The main colonizers of North America were the French, Spanish
and British. The British colonization efforts were concentrated along the east coast of America, while the French began their colonization in Canada.
Sieur de La Salle, a French explorer, traveled down the Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico in the mid 1500s. France claimed ownership of
"everything from the Appalachian Mountains to the Rockies" (Davis). France now had two major colonies consisting of Canada, and Louisiana as well
as control of overland trade routes connecting the two colonies.In 1754 colonial growth forced the English to expand west of the Appalachians. This

Who We Are Is Truly Tested When We Encounter Conflict
Year 12, 2010 Writing Folio ENCOUNTERING CONFLICT– WRITING FOLIO – PIECE ONE Who we are is truly tested when we encounter
conflict The true test of someone's character is not determined by how we deal with conflict in our life, but how we deal with all the aspects of our
lives, for example; how we are when we are happy, grieving or angry. Our maturity levels also play a huge part in defining who we are. There is no
doubt that conflict alters our emotions, thus it effects our actions, but this does not determine who we are. It only shows how we act in times of stress.

These decisions that we make under the influence do not completely define who we are, but they do, however, define how we act when we are
under the influence, which again, is only a small part of one's life. Another place where we encounter conflict is at work. Work environments can be
exceptionally interesting when dealing with conflict. At work, people can seek to impress and perform to exceed expectations, and at the other end
of the spectrum, people can often say they are better than everyone and refuse to do what is required or expected of them. Often when taking part in
large work groups of varying hierarchy, people may be keen to impress and show great work ethic, or they would rather complain about inefficiencies
and management structure causing conflict between colleagues and managers. Whether passive or aggressive, humans tend to react very differently to
their core personality when under conflict. Conflict that is encountered at work is often dealt with very differently to that of conflict encountered in
home or social environments. At work there may be some conflict encountered with a customer, and in this case, the rules may suggest certain ways,
or procedure to deal with this conflict. An aggressive person may be forced to deal with the situation on a passive way to avoid putting their job at
risk. This does not truly show who the person is, merely showing how well they have been trained by an

caress them gently with love and care. On the other hand, Montmorency would go wild at the sight of cats and the 'whole street would come to know

Quebec City Research Paper
So I`ve finally left Quebec and I am currently in Scottsdale, Arizona. However, I felt I needed to do one more article on Quebec that covers some
of the amazing places you need to go and checkout outside of the city. One of the best ways to check out the countryside is to rent a car or take a
tour. Renting a car is nice because it gives you the choice to decide where you want to go and how long you want to be somewhere. The road signs in
written in French can be intimidating for some though, especially without someone helping you navigate. We opted for a tour because we liked the
structure and didn`t have to worry about getting lost. So without further ado let's jump in!
My favorite place outside of Quebec city has to be Montmorency Falls. Montmorency Falls are taller than Niagra Falls by about thirty meters, but
Niagra Falls is wider. I personally love Montmorency because of the suspension bridge right above the falls which give you an amazing view of the

Mobile Food Pantry Paper

  • 1. Mobile Food Pantry Paper The most memorable chance to serve others this semester has been volunteering at the Mobile Food Pantry through the Community Compassion Network. On November 14, a group of Honors Students spent several hours sorting and distributing a whole truckload of food, which was out to over three hundred people in need. When I chose to participate in this event, I knew that I would be handing out food to people who are less fortunate than I am. However, what I did not know just how many people from Isabella County were in need of groceries and food to eat. I had been told that Isabella County was one of the poorest counties in Michigan, which is also true of my home county, Montmorency. This cause is close to my heart because many people from my...

In Finch Fieldhouse was hundreds of people who were here to receive the food we provided, and each of them had their own story to tell. I spent about a half an hour talking and getting to know some of them while we waited for the food truck to arrive. When it arrived I helped unload some of the boxes of food, which were surprisingly varied. I expected to see loads and loads of non–perishable foods, but instead I unloaded potatoes, apples, cakes and squash. I prepared bags to hand out, and arranged them on the tables. The people of the community began to line up, and I volunteered at the dessert table. Every person who went by was given one or two desserts like cookies, donuts, pie or cake. I could see the happiness on their faces as I handed out treats and laughed with them. The most memorable moment was when a young girl and her father came through the line. They had been waiting in line almost the whole time, and the dessert stand was the last table. When they walked by, I asked the young girl what kind of dessert she wanted, and she looked at her father as if to ask permission. He told her to pick one out, and she quietly asked for a cake. I spent some time searching for the perfect cake, one that had chocolate frosting. When I handed it to her, her face lit up like the sun. I had ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The Bill of Rights and Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen are based on the same principles of natural rights; therefore each document is similar in protecting the people's natural rights. However, despite their similarities, their differences are apparent due to the social situations in which they were adopted. The Bill of Rights stood to protect the freedoms of each individual by establishing a democratic government.

The Declarations of Rights of Man and Citizen differ to the Bill of Rights because of the different social and economic institutions. The Bills Of Rights protect citizens through the security of the government. The ten amendments don't directly address the rights of individuals, instead allow the government to enforce them, such as; congress will make no law inflicting rights of speech, press, and religion. These are objectives of the government to keep in tact, not necessary a right upon an individual. However, in the Rights of Man and Citizen it addresses the individual and their equality before the law. In article four it announces that liberty is based on the individual not to harm another. Thus, has no limits but the law will determine the limits. In article one it states, "Men are born and remain free and equal in rights."4 The diction in the Declaration gives the impression of the equality among individuals first, than law will follow. It contrasts to the Bill of Rights; which established a government for law, to protect the rights of individuals. In The Declaration addressed the responsibility of individuals and general will to mold the law. The Bill of Rights was ratified together with the Constitution in 1791.

Today, the population wander around the world seeing these wonderful churches and religious buildings all around us. The architectural style of the Middle Ages was very prominent: high stone vaults, internal elevations of multiple stories, rounded arches, and thick walls.

People were criticizing the new building and was not very keen of the idea of renovation. Suger still pushed for his project and fulfill his dreams to glorify the church. He began to rebuilt the church in 1137. One of the reasons behind this construction was that he was not contended with the dark and sinister style of Romanesque architecture. He wanted the church to be an expression of modernity and enlightenment. (Verdon and Dally 190–191). Suger considered it as modern because it was not heavy looking and inspiring. His critics, including Bernard of Clairvaux, called it "Gothic" because it was unrefined, barbaric and non–Roman (Bradbury 295). These criticisms were all wrong because it was completely renewed and this symbolized the top achievement of the medieval civilization. However, they were right that it was completely not Roman. This building represented the apex of achievement because, after centuries of being under the influence of the Roman empire, Suger gave birth to something new, something extravagant and ...

The contemporary society or one could say the modern society, in existence to the time being and the social features it connects thorough, contains human interconnection, evolution of ways of life, and anthropological and ecological transformation.

In a state of nature, there is no war, people are isolated, desires are minimal, and people lived for themselves. It is when people are hurled into society where the corruption begins. For Rousseau, he saw that society's negative influence of men centers on the transformation of self–love, which we wish to preserve, that when combined with reason creates a fear that allows men to take pleasure in the pain and weakness of others. Evil, greed, and selfishness emerges as human society begans to develop. And as society grows stronger, these ailments grow stronger with. In Discourse on the Arts and Sciences, Rousseau states that the arts and sciences had not been beneficial to man–kind because they are not human needs, but rather the result of pride and vanity. And these technological opportunities lead to further corruption and in a way makes the government more powerful at the expense of freedom. Also, due to advances in science and technology the people who had a talent in this field grew with and those who did not have that talent were left behind, thus causing inequality.

During the Seven years War he served as part of the British military and was the commander–in–chief of the British, American, and Highlander forces at the Battle of Quebec. His plan of attack up the Anse du Foulon to the Plains of Abraham was not only incredibly daring, but highly effective as it was this decisive move that allowed Wolfe's army to capture the city of Quebec.

In response Wolfe rebutted with the statement, "My commission is at your Highness's disposal, but I can never consent to be an executioner" (Hart, 216). In this act, Wolfe was able to show that one person can be enthralled with war without being consumed by it entirely. In previous courses that I have partaken in it had always been told that Captain James Wolfe was a "mad–man at the end of his wit," and that his attack at the Anse du Foulon was a "last ditch effort for Wolfe to die with honor on the field of battle." Indeed James Wolfe had his share of problems. Before being able to rejoice in being promoted to captain of the 4th Foot, he was passed the grave news that his brother Edward, one year his inferior, had died from the inclement conditions at Flanders. However, Wolfe was one of the lucky people who understood death as part of war. Wolfe's main problem was the way that the military was handled by those in charge. Speaking on the refusal for his leave to Metz to study in artillery, he sent a private letter in which he described his unhappiness with their (his superiors) decision; "They oppose the only method that can be fallen upon to preserve any knowledge of military affairs in the army." "This is a dreadful mistake and, if obstinately pursued, will disgust a number of good intentions, and preserve that prevailing ignorance of military affairs that has been so fatal to us in all our undertakings ..." ...

Actions of George seem to be really silly because he tries to present himself as an expert in this sphere, we can understand by his yearning to make a dinner, for example he wants to show his friends what could be done up the river in the way of cooking. And soon in the end of the extract reader can see the result of his attempts to do an Irish stew. Harry plays there a role of such kind of a man who is a chap and simpleton. We can see the funny side of the situation when he is ready to add a dead–water rat into the stew. He is a nice fellow and takes everything easy despite of George's big words about the precedent. Special attention should be also paid to the narrator Jerome. It's a usual thing the presence of the narrator in Jerome's works of art. Here the narrator Jerome plays an important role, it means that he steadily observes everything that happens and notices all the nonsense of life, and moreover he comments on this or that situation speaking ironically of it. For example the situation with the dead–water rat, he thinks over if it is such kind of sarcasm or a real desire to make a contribution to the dinner.

It was this new weak monarchy that acted as a catalyst for the many underlying problems that had been previously controlled. The weaknesses of the monarchy allowed ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Francis Duke of Guise quickly assumed control of the army, church and foreign affairs. The Montmorency family had been stripped of office. The sudden shift of power towards the Guise family heightened tensions between the aristocratic factions. The monarchy in France operated through a clientage system. The King was at the apex and he would give money and protection to the clientage beneath him, who, in return would offer the king loyalty. Those beneath him included large aristocratic families and below these families were the nobility, and further down still, the lesser nobility. The three aristocratic families were therefore reliant on the nobility below them in the system for support. In return they would give offices and jobs to their clients. Due to a weak monarchy this clientage system broke down. The clientage system was a good way of exercising control over the major aristocratic families. However, in order for such a system to function there needed to be a strong monarch and a large sum of money, neither of which were available in 1559. After the vast amount of money spent in the Hapsburg– Valios wars the royal treasury was drained of resources. The monarchy not only lacked a strong ruler but was also economically weak. It meant that the King could no longer keep the aristocratic families under control by the means of the clientage system. The Guise's, who had ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

After the crusade he wrote Chronicles of the Crusades which covers not only the foundation of the Fourth Crusade and events up through the conquest of Constantinople, but the ensuing conflicts after as well. Prior to the crusade he was Marshal of Champagne, and while this did not give him direct experience in war he probably took part in disputes in Champagne.

This displays not only the way that Villehardouin looked at the world, but also the way his audience, the people of medieval Europe, perceived events in a very religious context. Through most of the chronicle, Villehardouin says that God punishes those who sin and blesses the crusaders with victories. Villehardouin describes that every deserter during the winter of Zara either drowned or was killed in Sclavonia. He also emphasizes that all of those who went to Syria instead of Constantinople did nothing useful because it was not part of God's plan for them to go to Syria. He even describes some of those who were captured or died uselessly in Syria as "one of the best knights in the world" or "one of the most innocent souls alive". This implies that in Villehardouin's worldview, being of good character is irrelevant if you are not in alignment with the plans of God. Similarly, he is confident that God wanted them to take Zara, otherwise the crusade would have fallen apart due to all those inside the army who wanted it to disband,. a group which Villehardouin repeatedly notes.

Many people at this time did not like the stronghold the Guise had on the young Francis II and wished Francis to be freed of their influence. Prince Code decided to free the King from the stronghold of the Guise as he was in rivalry with the Guise at court, so in August 1559 there where discussions about a possible palace revolt. However this does not mean that Prince Code is doing this for the kings good, but because he wants the Bourbon family to have influence at court. There is a great amount of factionalism at court due to the Guise stronghold over the king. However the Bourbons where very cautious of the Guise after the treason of Constable Bourbon in 1523, and they resented the Guise as they believed they where the rightful people to be the kings advisers. The principal conspirators along with Prince Code where Jean du Barry and Lord Renaudie, a Calvinist nobleman.

The siege ended when, in the middle of the summer with both Rivers Brian and Cesse dry, the crusaders, led by the notorious Simon de Monfort, destroyed the village's only water source, Saint Rustic well, whose remains can be still seen today. Minerve, the village hovering above two canyons and surrounded by strong defensive walls, was a not to be ignored place during medieval or late medieval warfare and so it participated also in the religious wars of the 16th century when it was a hiding place for Huguenots who were defeated here by the armies of the Marshall Anne de Montmorency.

  • 22. The Classical Style Of The Ancient Greece And The United... Neo– Classicism in France and the United States The classical style of the ancient Athens, derived from Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome in the 15th century, has had a universal impact on many cultures during previous time periods. The classical period reflected traditional forms focused on symmetry and elegance; it flourished during the time of the Renaissance through artist such as Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo De Vinci. The artists' main goal was to attain the absolute beauty in their art by showing emotion through detail, almost through perfection. Some examples of well–known classical arts during the Renaissance were 'Belvedere Torso' and the 'Medici Venus'. In the 17th century the classical style was revived, now called the neo –classical style. It was born in Rome but its popularity flourished all over Europe. The neo–classical movement clashed with the age of Enlightment and continued through the 19th century. The neo–classical principles were based around the same characteristics as the classical arts such as: balance, proportion, order, simplicity, clarity, and reason. It was strongest in architect, sculpture, and decorative arts. The neo– classical style continued to spread throughout the world and became sought after in the 17th and 18th century in countries such as France and The United States, and it influenced some of the greatest government buildings in America. Neoclassicism can be seen as a political movement as well as an artistic and cultural one. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The denial of their predicament and also their refusal to except change had caused Bowen to be censorious of them.

The author emphasizes the pressure that is now forcing Lois to marry and to produce an heir so the property can be passed on for more generations. Lois no longer sees "Big House" lifestyle as viable and therefore further adds to the confusion in which she is facing. " Lois, as the only alternative heir, complains that she feels trapped in a " cocoon" and longs for some other kind of existence." (Genet., J, p149, 1991) The ante–room in which Lois visits frequently serves no particular purpose and therefore symbolizes that indeed the room compares to Lois' feelings within herself of feeling lost and lonely. "In her life – deprived as she saw it – there was no occasion for courage, which like an unused muscle slackened and slept" (Bowen., E, p33, 1998) Another point which suggests Lois is lost and confused is the fact that often spends time walking outside the boundaries of the house which symbolizes her need to escape from this faГ§ade, the so–called birthright of her generation.

In the fight to gain religious tolerance it created a split between the Catholics and the Protestants. The Dutch Revolt in the Spanish Netherlands was part of the series of religious wars in Europe. For ten years, a civil war raged in the Netherlands between the Catholics and the Protestants. Religion and politics were at the center of this revolt. Calvinism was spreading rapidly and became popular among the lower classes, lesser nobles, and town leaders. However, the strong Catholic King, Philip II desired to eliminate Calvinism within his territories. Philip II believed if he tackled Calvinism, then it would enhance his power in his monarchy. Therefore, politics were at the heart of this revolt since Philip II desired to impose Catholicism in an attempt to centralize his power in the Spanish Netherlands. Furthermore, politics and religion were also at the center of the French Wars of Religion. The religious differences between the two religious sects, the Huguenots and Roman Catholics, reveal that religion was also responsible for these series of wars in France. Therefore, politics and religion were both at the heart of the French Wars of Religion because it created fractional rivalries between the major families in France, members of the Royal Family made several attempts to sustain their power within the estate, and caused several religious battles between the Huguenots and the Roman ...

While it may seem like the penetrating silence on the part of the characters is a result of their lack of appreciation for the gravity of the war, Bowen slowly and powerfully reveals through the detailed reality of her characters' lives that their muteness is a silence of survival rather than a silence of nonchalance or dispassion. Ultimately, the characters become utterly caught between their Irish and English identities. Any shred of self–awareness or verbalization can be perceived as expressing loyalty to one side over the other and therefore silence becomes their only mechanism of survival. Thus, The Last September becomes dominated by an intense muteness and instability on the part of the Anglo–Irish as they struggle with their deep cultural confusion and paralyzing insecurities.

Following the battle, the majority of the French army abandoned Quebec and the defensive works to the East of the City, marching west to combine with the 3,000 men. Quebec was left under the command of Jean–Baptiste–Nicolas–Roch de Ramezay who, on the 18th surrendered Quebec to the British. The battle had a huge impact on the war in North America. The remaining French troops attempted to re–take Quebec but were unable due to lack of siege equipment and reinforcements. French forces retreated to their last Canadian stronghold – Montreal. Montreal, in turn, surrendered on the 8th of September 1760. Following the capture of Montreal, French resistance had collapse, and there were no more real threats to the new British territories of North America. In the treaty of Paris, which officially ended the 7 years war in North America, France ceded the Louisiana territory to Spain to compensate for Spain's losses, and regained Guadeloupe and Martinique as well as Saint Pierre and Miquelon and fishing rights in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence.

Suger has been regarded as the first person to recognize, describe, and analyze the socio–political structure of Capetian France as a feudal hierarchy, a pyramid of tenure with the king at its top (Grant 3). He is also commonly seen as an influential ideologist, a man who glorified the Capetian monarchy.

On religious feast days, displays of holy relics were used to lure in worshipers by the church while tradespeople set up shop outside. Merchants knew there would be a surge of people on feast days, which also meant more people attended feast days because of the large number of merchants. The economical boom was also fed by surges in "agricultural production, the advent of currencies, and increased trade" (Gilgoff). The later half of the twelfth century was one of rapid and immense development in economical, political, and cultural matters. By 1150, Paris was inarguably the most important city in Capetian lands. Trading patterns now favoured the Seine river nexus, with its access to the Channel and North Sea rim, instead of the Loire.

  • 31. The Battle Of Quebec And The British Army The Battle of Quebec took place on 13 September 1759. This battle was part of the French and Indian War between the French Army and the British Army. The French–Indian war was the North American front of the Seven Years' War, which was fought on the European continent and on the Indian subcontinent. The outcome of the Battle Of Quebec would prove pivotal in determining who would control Canada. The British exhibited successful tactics in deception, exploited false assumptions, took audacious actions, and benefited from unity of effort. The French suffered due to a lack of standardization between regular army and militia members, which led to an embarrassing defeat at Quebec. Events leading to the Battle Many European empires began serious colonization efforts of North America in the1500's. The main colonizers of North America were the French, Spanish and British. The British colonization efforts were concentrated along the east coast of America, while the French began their colonization in Canada. Sieur de La Salle, a French explorer, traveled down the Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico in the mid 1500s. France claimed ownership of "everything from the Appalachian Mountains to the Rockies" (Davis).

These decisions that we make under the influence do not completely define who we are, but they do, however, define how we act when we are under the influence, which again, is only a small part of one's life. Another place where we encounter conflict is at work. Work environments can be exceptionally interesting when dealing with conflict. At work, people can seek to impress and perform to exceed expectations, and at the other end of the spectrum, people can often say they are better than everyone and refuse to do what is required or expected of them. Often when taking part in large work groups of varying hierarchy, people may be keen to impress and show great work ethic, or they would rather complain about inefficiencies and management structure causing conflict between colleagues and managers. Whether passive or aggressive, humans tend to react very differently to their core personality when under conflict. Conflict that is encountered at work is often dealt with very differently to that of conflict encountered in home or social environments. At work there may be some conflict encountered with a customer, and in this case, the rules may suggest certain ways, or procedure to deal with this conflict. An aggressive person may be forced to deal with the situation on a passive way to avoid putting their job at risk.
