Themes of the Renaissance
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The Renaissance (French for "Rebirth) is
known as the period of the individual
(1400-1650); in that man was no longer a "cog in
the machine" enduring life, but rather, he viewed
himself as a unique person, who could shape the
world, as in fact shaped him, with the new
knowledge that was now accessible to him. One of
the things, which came with this awareness was
place of function in society. This discussion
will examine the roles of Prince, Warrior,
Dissenter, Merchant, Artist, and Scientist.

Theodora and Justinian: Partners in Ruling the Byzantine Empire
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses one of the ancient world’s most
renowned leaders, the Byzantine emperor, Justinian (483-565).
Historians have often referred to him in some variation on the
theme of “the last of the great Roman emperors.” His wife, the
Empress Theodora, became known for her ravishing beauty as well
as her ruthless manner and haughty disposition despite her early
years as an actress and “dancing girl.” Theodora and Justinian
personify what has come to be known as something of an archetype
regarding the way the ancient and near ancient kingdoms and
empires were once ruled. The person gaining the throne through
birth, usually a male, was balanced and complemented by his (or
her) partner in terms of actually ruling. Bibliography lists 6
sources.

Vampires: Myth Verses Legend
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of vampires of legend and the threats which those vampires may present even today. Some contend they are simply folklore while other contend that they wander the earth even today as estranged souls, separated from the living by their own immortality. Fiction, fantasy, cultism, or reality? The author of this paper leaves that decision for you to make. Suggested for consideration, however, is the premise that the threat of vampires may have little to do with losing our souls to the living dead, that perhaps it has more to do with allowing the circumstances of the time to control our thoughts and our emotions. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
