Historically North American households have been characterized by a male breadwinner and a housewife. However, this pattern is becoming increasingly more rare as two-parent working households are three times more likely than they were just twenty years ago (Daniel, 2018 ). For many, this shift stems from the high standard of living or the expenses of necessities, food, clothing, transportation, and shelter, that require more than what most single-income households can provide. Other explanations suggest a large factor is the...

The Gothic Cathedral of Notre Dame was built between 1163-1235. Between 1170-1270 more than 500 Gothic Churches were built in France. The reason for the high ceilings and slender columns in the churches was to make it seem as if you were being stretched or flying towards heaven. Some cathedrals were as tall as 30-40 stories, though they eventually fell down. Over time the pope gained complete control of Europe. Nothing happened in the church, let alone the world, without...

Introduction to Emerson's Convictions âTrust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.â This quote is towards the beginning of Emersonâs âSelf-Reliance,â and it is the basis of Emersonâs convictions. âTrust thyself,â begins the quotation. The semicolon separates this idiom from the rest of the quote, because it has the power to stand alone. Emerson believed that to rely on others is cowardly, so to trust ourselves is what we can rely on. âEvery heart vibrates to that iron string,â...

Though Europe stands as one continent, the extreme variance in the way Jews were treated, lived, and worshipped up to the 1870âs casts a division between the East and the West. Western Jews ultimately were acculturated into society, rising from poverty into the middle class and pursuing more rational thought through the Haskalah, while Eastern Jews remained steadfast in placing the importance on their Jewish identity above all else. However, Jews in Eastern Europe suffered economically and legally to a...

Beyond the phenomenological understanding of the world, human ethics and morals are as fermented in human reason as our need for oxygen to breathe. Most discussions about ethics and morals seem synonymous with one association in particular: God. Divine Command Theory argues that whatâs good, and whatâs not, are determined by a deity, whether thatâs the God of Abraham, or a plethora of gods with their own ethical rules. In the theory of Natural Law, Thomas Aquinas, says that morality...

With thousands of self-help books published under âpersonalityâ each year, and with thousands of psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists and psuedo-scientists identifying a nondescript number of personality types and the traits which fall into them, the idea of the personality is something of a modern phenomenon. Particularly in modern history, the contemporary understanding of the âpersonalityâ finds its origins in âthe long eraâ (1955 to 1974) with political movements becoming centred around notions of identity: race, gender and sexuality, rather than simply...

As it has been claimed by Agheyisi and Fishman (1970), language attitudes have been the most indispensable concept in sociolinguistics. Ryan (1982) has defined attitude as âa learned disposition to think, feel and behave toward a person or a class of objects in a particular wayâ. This interpretation emphasizes the positive and negative emotional responses that attitude embodies, and thus, language attitudes consist of an affective component, and extend to thought and behavior as well. In addition to this, Oppenheim...

Traditional and Reformed Judaism was becoming a definite battle in the 19th century. Both sides fighting over who is right. Many Jews started converting to Protestantism and many assimilated men and women considered conversion. As was the case for Weininger. âThe conflicting pressures on sensitive young men and women invariably caused much bitterness. Among some of the most privileged or gifted it produced a reaction later known as âJewish self-hatredâ.4 This was a direct response to the times; as things...

Societal bilingualism can be accounted to movement of people and to movement of national borders, but there are also other reasons that lead to bilingual societies such as exogamous marriages and expansion, colonization and conquest. For example in the British Isles, speakers of Welsh, Scotish, Gaelic Irish Gaelic, Manx and Cornish became bilingual under pressure from England (Sebba, 2010). When we talk about the movement of national borders this not only implies expansion but also a division of territories that...
