Sociology's Approach To Understanding The Nature & Character Of Religion
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages. The connection between sociology and religion is unmistakable; without question, these two elements of existence are distinctly intertwined within the framework of every global society. Indeed, without religious inclusion, which is truly a key component to contemporary living, the world as it is today would cease to exist. Sociology's approach to understanding the nature and character of religion begins as far back as the Stone Age and reaches as far forward as the Space Age, for there is not a single episode of life that has occurred without the presence of religion. The writer discusses these concepts as they are effectively addressed in Joel M. Charon's 'The Meaning of Sociology: A Reader.' No additional sources cited.

Star Wars, Episode II: Relation With Ancient Greek Mythology And Its Heroes
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. One of the most prominent literary motifs of mythology is that of power and the tragic hero. Examining the fundamental interpretation of Star Wars, Episode II, the student will find that this film also struggles with the concepts of power and the tragic hero, as well. It may appear as quite contrary in nature to have two such divergent literary approaches upon which to draw the same conclusion, however, it becomes much more acceptable when one realizes that beneath all the garishness associated with heroic deeds, the protagonist is still just one being who is in constant struggle with his own existence. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
