I am a Creationist. And I Believe that God created the
Heavens and the Earth. There is much evidence to refute the Theory of
Evolution, including, but Not limited to, the Fact that Evolution is Not
Presently occurring. This is a Quote from Charles Darwin, “To suppose that the
eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different
distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of
spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural
selection, seems, I confess, absurd in the highest degree...The difficulty of
believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection ,
though insuperable by our imagination, should not be considered subversive of
the theory.”

The Letter of Recommendation for My Mother, Debra Katrena: My
Mother, Debra Katrena, like Me, is a Member of Several Organizations. And My
Mother was, for example, a Member of The Camp Fire Organization when She was a
Child. And My Mother, Debra, in addition to being the Mother of Three Children,
was a Board Member of The Clackamas Community College Foundation Board, and She
was a Member of a Chamber of Commerce, and She has been a Licensed Realtor for
about 21 Years. And Not Everyone can become a Licensed Real Estate Agent, also
known as being a Realtor, and being a Licensed Realtor involves Studying for,
and Passing, The Real Estate Exam, and Passing a Background Check, and Paying
Fees, and a Person has to be Very Intelligent and Very Knowledgeable to be able
to do these Things. My Mother, Debra, is also a Licensed Real Estate Broker.
Additionally, My Mother, Debra, was a Salvation Army Board Member, and She was
a Homeroom Mother in Her Children’s Schools, and She also taught an
Anti-Bullying Class to Children in a School. And My Mother, Debra, is a
Christian, and She is a Baptized Christian, and She has Professed The Articles
of The Christian Faith. My Mother, Debra, Graduated from High School. And My
Mother, Debra, was, or was about, 18 years of age when She Graduated from High
School. And Graduating from High School usually involves Successfully Passing
about 13 years of School, usually Kindergarten through 12th Grade, and, of
course, Not everyone is Capable of doing These Things, and, of course, Not
everyone Graduates from High School, and that is OK. My Mother, Debra, is also
a Senior at Marylhurst University, which is Her Alma Mater, and She has gotten
Many Grades of A on Her Report Cards. And My Mother Debra, in addition to being
a Licensed Real Estate Agent for about 21 Years, has had Many Jobs throughout
Her Life, for example, She was the Owner of a Restaurant, and She is a Very
Hardworking Person, and a Very Good Person, and a Very Intelligent Person, and
a Very Knowledgeable Person. And She has Won Awards for Her Realtor Work. --

An Exploration of an Invaluable,
Symbiotic Discovery
I greatly enjoy being a part of
multicultural organizations. My fellow members and I learn a lot. We give back
to the world. And we have fun, too.
It is amazing how much we learn by being a part of multicultural organizations. We hear opinions about various sections of the Bible, such as whether or not in The Book of Job a dinosaur is alluded to, find out about the intricacies of British and French politics, and from Seranthi, a fellow member of The Open Mind, Open Heart Club Online, gain knowledge about Sri Lanka's culture, for instance, that the lighting of a traditional lamp, the Kuthu Villakkuin, starts off the New Year's celebrations there. A sizable percentage of this learning takes place during formal meetings, although an even larger amount takes place during members’ ongoing conversations with each other.
My fellow members and I are also committed to public service. We sponsor cultural awareness events and roll up our sleeves to fund-raise for iodine deficiency relief programs. We may not be able to fix all of the world's problems, but we are making a positive difference.
We make a point to have tons of fun, whether going to the East Asian Cultural Festival and listening to the pleasant, sonorous sounds of Japanese Taika drums while reading pamphlets about the Chinese Dragon Boat and Lantern Festivals or whether meeting at the annual International Cuisine Fair and sharing delicious spaghetti and a tasty enchilada, taking in freshly made popcorn's ubiquitous buttery aroma, consuming (very salty) calamari, and acquiring a newfound appreciation for the miracle of H2O or whether hosting winter and spring fêtes for the college community, where we have a great time dancing, singing, playing Trivial Pursuit, drinking Juicy Juice, and eating ice-cream, apple and pecan pie, brie, crackers, and vegetable sticks. Everyone is cordially invited to attend these activities. I disseminate information about them throughout campus, well in advance, using a combination of printed, verbal, and electronic mediums.
My active involvement with multicultural organizations is a good choice. My fellow members and I are growing intellectually, helping others, and having fun. In the years ahead, I look forward to being a continued part of these wonderful organizations.

W100. For Most of The Day and The Night, a
Woman constantly kept on Filling 7 Bowls of Water for Her Small Dog. A Man
said, “I have been sitting on this couch watching TV and watching You fill Our
Dog’s Bowls of Water Non-Stop for about 12 hours. You haven’t even stopped once
to sit down, go to the Restroom, eat or drink. Why are you constantly filling
the Dog’s Water Bowls?” And the Woman replied, “I do Not want Our Dog to have
Lukewarm water,” and then She started to do Pushups.

establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of
grievances" (http://www.usconstitution.net). It is my theory that the
United States Supreme Court's decisions, rather than just being printed words
on paper, really do affect and shape society.
It has been about a year since there was machine gun fire
everywhere. Trenches were covered with barb wire. Shrapnel darkened the skies.
Airplanes, known then as Aero-planes, dropped bombs upon cities. Hundreds of
thousands of soldiers from the armies of the United States, the British Empire,
France, Russia, Germany, and the Austria-Hungarian Empire are dead. The year is
1919, and World War I ended a few months ago. On March 3, 1919, the United
States Supreme Court decided in a conservative ruling, reflecting society's
conservative world view, in Schenck versus the United States, that the freedom
of expression does not extend to acts that present a clear and present danger
to the United States, such as trying to disrupt military recruitment:
"Words which, ordinarily and in many places, would be within the freedom
of speech protected by the First Amendment may become subject to prohibition
when of such a nature and used in such circumstances a to create a clear and
present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils which Congress
has a right to prevent" (http://www4.law.cornell.edu). This affected society by
stifling more radical ways to protest the United States Government's policies,
which in turn might have led to more conservative actions on the part of
politicians . Six years after Schenck versus the United States, on June 8,
1925, in Gitlow versus the United States, the United States Supreme Court,
adopting a conservative view, decided that the freedom of speech again has
limitations, and that "freedom of speech and of the press, as secured by
the Constitution, is not an absolute right to speak or publish without responsibility
whatever one may choose or an immunity for every possible use of language"
(<www4.law.cornell.edu>). Again this United
States Supreme Court ruling had real-world implications for society, as people
were again reminded -- and in some cases sent to jail -- that individuals
cannot say or write everything they might want to.
On May 18, 1931, in Stromberg versus California, the United States
Supreme Court ruling upheld that states may pass laws that protect the state
from the overthrow of the government, which thus helped safeguard the normal
way of things: red Communist flags did not therefore fly over the state capitol
buildings after coups, which had the possibility of occurring if the United
States Supreme Court had decided otherwise. At the same time, the United States
Supreme Court upheld that the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees that
citizens should not be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without proper
due process of the law, "nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws" (http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am14), meant that it was
unconstitutional for a state to outlaw the displaying of a red flag, which
during that time period could mean solidarity with Communism. Similarly, in
DeJonge versus Oregon, the United States Supreme Court ruled that "the
legislature may protect against abuses of the rights of free speech and
assembly by dealing with the abuses; the rights themselves must not be
curtailed." Far from being just words on a page, the United States Supreme
Court again affected and shaped society by outlining some of the many protected
freedoms of speech.
For eighty-six years the law of Connecticut, reflecting
society's conservative world view, stated that it was illegal to provide
contraception to adults, and in 1965, in Griswold versus Connecticut, the
United States Supreme Court, in a 7-2 liberal decision reflecting society's
changing world view, decided that it was unconstitutional to outlaw
contraception, as people have a right to "marital privacy." The
United States Supreme Court ruled that the "spirit" of the First,
Third, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments creates a right to privacy. The
decision that people have a right to privacy under the United States
Constitution helped decide Roe versus Wade, decided in 1973, in which the
United States Supreme Court decided that a women's right to privacy includes
having an abortion (PBS). What helped make this possible? Society in the United
States of America had changed dramatically in the 1970s, and had become much
more liberal than it had in the past, with Flower Power, hippies, to mention
just two of the many changes, and as society changes, so do the world views of
the nine justices who make up the United States Supreme Court. In addition to
this ruling giving people more freedom to choose their birth control, also
affected the population growth of the United States of America, which itself
has economic, political, and social implications.
This change to a more liberal world view, and therefore more
liberal rulings, is shown in the case Cohen versus California, decided on June
7, 1971. The appellant wore a jacket stating an expletive about the military
draft, and was initially found guilty of violating a California law. The United
States Supreme Court decided that the First and Fourteenth Amendments allow for
four letter expletives to be displayed, which again means that people have
greater freedoms. The United States Supreme Court's liberal interpretation of
the United States Constitution was also demonstrated in Rosebloom versus
Metromedia in which it decided that "the First Amendment gives the news
media a privilege to report and comment upon the official actions of public
servants in full detail, without sparing from public view the reputation or
privacy of an individual involved in or affected by any official action" (www4.law.cornell.edu). This ruling has enormous
implications for society, as the news media can now report, in great detail, on
the activities of public officials, meaning a spot light can be shined on these
public officials, which causes more accountability and greater public knowledge
of what our public servants are up to.
Not only was the United States Supreme Court having liberal
interpretations of the United States Constitution, but the cases themselves
reflected society's more liberal world view. For example, Hustler magazine published a cartoon of now
deceased pastor Falwell having a drunk intimate affair with his mother in an
outhouse. Could you imagine something like this being published in the 1800s,
let alone the United States Supreme Court ruling then that such expression was
protected under the United States Constitution? It would be nearly unthinkable
for either to occur in the 1800s. But both the cartoon and the United States
Supreme Court ruling that such a cartoon was protected under the United States
Constitution occurred on February 24, 1988, in Hustler Magazine, Inc. versus
Falwell. This ruling gave the approval for more liberal expressions, which in
turn helped change society. Furthermore, on June 26, 1997, in Reno versus the
American Civil Liberties Union, the United States Supreme Court ruled it
unconstitutional to make laws regarding the transmission of data on the
Internet that violate the First Amendment's guarantee of the Freedom of Speech,
which therefore helped turn the faucet for more freedom of speech on the
Internet, and more choices for what people in society have the option of
viewing.
In sum, then, the United States Supreme Court, as time progressed
and as society became more liberal, issued more liberal world views. A question
becomes why? The Supreme Court justices are of course members of society too,
and they like many people are influenced by changing standards. For example,
for many years there used to television and movie censors: swear words were not
to be used, and even a husband and his wife were never to be shown sleeping in
the same bed; this changed. As society became more liberal, so too did the
United States Supreme Court's rulings. And this more liberal interpretation of
the United States Constitution has enormous implications for society, ranging
from more freedom of expression to more options about birth control to greater
accountability from public officials.

The vegetable I'm talking about is a tomato.
What is a tomato good for? A lot of things. You can make
tomatoes into sauces for spaghetti and pizza. You can dice tomatoes and put
them on your salad. And you can even make fried green tomatoes, which is the
title of a movie.
Tomatoes have great nutritional content. From the website nutritiondata.com a person learns that
tomatoes offer a lot of vitamins, for example Vitamin E, Thiamin, Niacin,
Vitamin C, Magnesium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin B6. Additionally, tomatoes are
also loaded with lycopene, a very powerful antioxidant.
The history of the tomato is interesting. There are two main
theories on how tomatoes, which were native to Central and South America, came
to Europe. Some people believe that Spanish Conquistador Cortez brought the
tomato to Europe after conquering, in 1521, what is now Mexico City. Other
people believe that Christopher Columbus, in 1493, one year after embarking on
his famous journey across the Atlantic Ocean, brought the tomato to Europe.
From wikipedia.com a person learns that about
125 million tons of tomatoes were produced in the year 2008. China makes about
a quarter of the output, and the state of California accounts for about 35% of
world production of tomatoes.
In cooler areas of the world, tomatoes are grown in
greenhouses. Tomatoes reproduce by the pollination of its seeds, for example,
by the aid of bees and the wind. The preparation of tomatoes is interesting. I
learned that tomatoes are often picked when they are green and are then stored
with the organic compound ethylene, which helps with the ripening process. I
learned from wikipedia.com that "Tomatoes ripened
in this way tend to keep longer but have poorer flavor and a mealier, starchier
texture than tomatoes ripened on the plant. They may be recognized by their
color, which is more pink or orange than the other ripe tomatoes' deep red,
depending on variety." The alternative to buying these types of tomatoes
are either garden produced tomatoes, or tomatoes on the vine, which tend to
have more flavor. When you buy a tomato you can either place it in room temperature
or place it in the refrigerator, the former keeps the flavor better.
The tomato provides a lot of good nutritional content.
Furthermore, whether diced or chopped up, served as a sauce, or even thrown at
a giant penguin, the tomato has a variety of uses.

The
Integral Role Feudalism and Manorialism Played in Medieval Europe
Written by Brandon Katrena
Thanks to
such notable philosophers as Locke, John Stuart Mill, and Ayn Rand, modern-day
Westerners see Feudalism and Manorialism as being nefarious. Yet if one were to
peruse the annals of history, one would find that these social, political, and
economic systems of antiquity were born out of necessity. One would also
discover that along with the negative aspects attached to these two systems,
there were a plethora of positive ones as well, which helped meet the needs of
medieval Europe.
Manorialism
developed in multifaceted and complex ways. The seeds of Manoralism were
planted in the latter half of the third century AD when Roman Emperor
Diocletian ordered his subjects to follow the occupations of their fathers. A
few hundred years passed by, in which time the Roman Empire fell, Germanic Tribes
took over, and eventually the Carolingian Empire came in to existence.
History
has a proclivity to repeat itself. Like the Roman Empire before it, the
Carolingian Empire fell apart. With its fall, the seeds planted by Diocletian
came into full bloom. There are three reasons for these phenomena.
Firstly,
from the first half to the end of the ninth century AD, Frankish Nobles
encouraged members of the royal family to battle one another. This infighting
was enervating, and nobles were thus able to accumulate lands from the weakened
royals. Finally, worn out by internecine warfare, in 843 AD Louis the Pious’s
sons divided the Carolingian Empire among themselves. This action only
exacerbated the precarious condition of imperial authority, as greedy nobles
were able to seize even more land and power from a now fractured Empire.
Secondly,
like internal divisions, periodic external attacks by Vikings, Magyars, and
Muslims took their toll on the Carolingian Empire. Not only did these invasions
hasten The Empire’s Collapse, but they also “created [. . .] individual
insecurity” (MHB 262). Individuals need protection, so what did they do?
Answer: they got protection from local lords. In return for this protection,
lords obtained allegiance from the peasantry, and at the same time increased
their own power and prestige.
Thirdly,
and lastly, with an attack upon society by internal and external forces, things
broke down. Economic life became almost totally agricultural; non-commercial
bargaining supplanted the usage of money. Urban centers were an endangered
species; rural life became dominant.
In sum,
then, royal infighting, along with external attacks, were taken advantage of by
opportunistic local magnates. As a decentralization of government came into
being, an increase in power at a localized level came about. Gradually,
agricultural activities began to reign supreme and Manorialism took shape.
As McKay,
Hill, and Buckler state, “Feudalism concerned the rights, powers, and lifestyle
of the military elite, manorialism involved the services and obligations of the
peasant[s] [ . . . ]” (261). While these two systems were in many ways
dissimilar, in other ways they were quite analogous to each other. Land was the
form of wealth of the military elite. One did not find nobles beating their
swords into plowshares and tilling the soil under the perpetual glare of the
scorching sun; nor did one find peasants beating their hoes and spades into
weapons of war. Rather, the peasantry worked the land, and in return the
nobility provided protection. Therefore, Feudalism and Manoralism were in a
symbiotic, inextricable relationship: without serfs to work the land, the
military elite could not exist; without the military elite, serfs would have
fallen prey to bloodthirsty invaders.
How did
Manorialism work in practical terms? Serfs formed the backbone of a Manorial
Society. To become a serf, unless born into it, a person would come to a lord
and request to become his serf. If the lord acquiesced, that person became the
lord’s subject. From then on, He or She gave their Person and their lands to
the lord; they were thus bound to the land and were subject to the lord’s
rules.
Unlike
modern-day Western Civilization where industry is King, Manorialism was an
economic system where agriculture was hegemonic. Accordingly, a serf’s main job
was to farm the land and give a portion of the harvest to the lord. In return,
he or she received the lord’s protection.
Furthermore,
“Rugged Individualism” was a phrase that was unheard of in the early Middle
Ages. It follows then that on the manor the serf’s emulated society’s ethos and
were very collectivist. For example, in farming they pooled their labor,
thereby working as a team and pursuing a common goal. (Perhaps modern-day
society could benefit by taking heed to some of the practices of the past.)
Lest one
think otherwise, lords and peasants were not in a collective, egalitarian
relationship. On the contrary, while peasants dirtied their hands tilling the
earth, the lords’ defense of the manor gave their hands an incarnadine hue.
Even though the two group’s obligations were multifarious, for Manorialism to
work both lord and peasant were counted upon to diligently uphold their part of
the bargain.
Upon
close examination of the duties of the lord and serf, it is apparent that a
peasant’s most time-consuming duty was to work the land. Primitive agricultural
tools, such as the harrow, meant farming was exhausting. In addition, typically
they worked from dawn to dusk, and days off were rare indeed.
Besides
having to work their own land, the peasants also had the duty of cultivating
the lords’ private plots of land; usually, all of this harvested food became
the property of the lord. This chore, on average, consumed three or more days
per week of the peasants’ time. In addition to this, a peasant had to do other
manual labor types of jobs around the manor (e.g., animal husbandry, craft
making, et cetera).
Lastly,
peasants were expected to be deferential to their lord. This entailed not
leaving the manor without his authorization. Moreover, they had to obey the
lord and take heed to his every command. And they were restricted in many other
ways. For example, in addition to having to give a percentage of the annual
harvest to the lord, in many cases they had to pay him before they married
someone, and they also had to pay a fine before inheriting property.
While the
peasants worked their fingers to the bone, a lord worked at a more comfortable
pace. His primary duty was to make sure that his estate ran smoothly. He
accomplished this, in part, by hiring overseers who were competent. A lord also
helped ensure the smooth running of his estate by overseeing legal proceedings
and disciplining those serfs who got out of line. With the latter, English
lords were aided by their serfs who, upon seeing criminal mischief taking
place, “[ . . . ] were expected to chase the perpetrator themselves and yell to
others to join in.” (WRW 140).
Equally
important, a lord provided military protection for those living on his manor.
Besides being well-armed themselves, many could rely on knights to help with
this duty. It was important that lords guard their territory well, as an
undefended manor was a tempting target for many an avaricious foreign invader,
who not only looted but who also, “most terribly [ . . . ] oppress[ed] the
Christians” (Rogers 295).
Additionally,
lords were supposed to look out for the general welfare of the peasantry. For
example, they were to provide for the peasants in lean times (class notes).
Whether or not they always did this is another matter all together.
From
ushering in relative stability to protecting the populace from invaders’
battle-axes, Manorialism and Feudalism met the needs of Medieval Europe in many
fundamental ways. Yet, in other ways these systems let society down. While
hedonistic lords went to bed with full bellies, throngs of peasants suffered
from want.
The order
that Manorialism ushered in greatly benefited Medieval Europe. Except when an
“act of God” struck, the Manorial System usually ensured that a steady supply
of foodstuffs would be produced. Also, those who lived on the manor knew what
their daily routine was and were kept busy. (As the old adage says, “Idle hands
make for idle minds.”) Consequently, this absence of chaos meant Europe was
poised to advance herself.
Furthermore,
Manorialism’s inextricable link to Feudalism brought about a measure of
security. The lords helped protect the peasantry from being molested and
slaughtered by the so-called “Barbarians.” And at the same time, lords hindered
the destruction of property, which in turn was good for the
agricultural-intensive economy.
While in
many ways Manorialism benefited the peoples of Europe, the movie called “The
Name of the Rose” testified to the base side of this system. For example, the
scene where peasants frantically scavenged through the monastery’s trash for
food illustrated that not all lords fulfilled their obligations to the
peasantry. One can also surmise from that scene that the Manorial System did
not always yield sufficient quantities of food.
Moreover,
serfdom was just one step up from slavery. While they could not sell “their”
serfs (yes, they were regarded as property-like), from floggings to mutilations
to executions, lords could be as autocratic as they chose to be. In this way,
this system retarded the development of a society based upon egalitarian
principles.
In sum,
both Manorialism and Feudalism played an indispensable role in the society of
yesteryear. Manorialism was an economic system that was well-suited for the
agricultural-based economy of Medieval Europe. Likewise, Fedualism helped bring
about a sense of order and security where there had been none before. Together,
both systems, while not without flaw by any means, left a positive,
long-lasting mark on Western Civilization.

One
of My Papers/Plays
Written
by Brandon Katrena
The year
is 52 BC, and Rome is in Chaos. There are scenes of lootings and much
screaming. Pompey, Caesar’s new rival, obtains the consulship. In the following
years, Roman senators attempt to strip Caesar of his soldiers (Heichelheim,
Ward, and Yeo, 199-200). This is too much for Caesar to handle, and he crosses
the Rubicon. Caesar’s forces conquer Rome and Spain. Battle scenes are shown.
By 47 BC, Caesar, on battlefields throughout Europe and Africa, defeats those
who openly oppose him. In 46 BC, he celebrates four lavish triumphs, and a year
later puts down a rebellion in Spain (Heichelheim, Ward, and Yeo, 204). The
play visually shows triumphs and the Spanish rebels being pacified.
The play’s
announcer states: “As is the case on the battlefield, when it comes to reforms,
Caesar is the crème de la crème. He increases the size of The Senate, and he
drafts lex Julia Municipalis, which ‘provide[s] for local self-government.’
These two important moves create good will between Rome and Italy (Heichelheim,
Ward, and Yeo, 205). In order to help alleviate overcrowding and unemployment,
Caesar becomes passionate about colonization projects. Moreover, Caesar
regulates the calendar” (Heichelheim, Ward, and Yeo, 206).
Caesar
walks past a man who warns the dictator, “Beware the Ides of March.” Caesar, in
his typical fearless fashion, walks to The Senate, undisturbed. Once seated,
The Senators do what they are known to have done. Caesar, startled by Brutus’s
treachery asks, “Et tu, Brute?” (Shakespeare is in the play’s credits). The
play’s curtains close and re-open within two minutes.
Yes,
Caesar died a tragic death. More importantly, he lived a Very Noble and Heroic
Life. It is why many of the Romans of antiquity thought him a god. The last
scene of My play shows Caesar’s and Venus’s hands joined together; they
recollect the events that transpired during Caesar’s 56 years on Earth, and She
murmurs in His Ear, “My Child, You make Me proud.” Aeneas pats Caesar on the
back, and the Trojan draws parallels between his battle against Turnus, prince
of Rutuli, and Caesar’s battle against Pompey; both were formidable foes who
had huge armies under their command (Livy, 36). A few seconds later, Mars,
donning a toga, nods approvingly. Romulus, looking adoringly at Caesar, says,
“You were a Soldier. And You helped make My Wish, expressed hundreds of years
ago, come true: ‘let them know, and teach their children, that no power on
earth can stand against Roman arms’” (Livy, 51). Caesar’s eyes, as they had
done when he was an infant, glow bright, and he yearns for the day when the
very thought of Rome strikes fear into the heart of all barbarians, and when a
Roman is filled with an infinite amount of pride, reverence, duty, and honor
when He or She says, “I am Roman.”

A
Case for More Female Governmental Officials being Needed
Written by Brandon Katrena
It is Important that
females serve in the government for four main reasons. Firstly, it encourages
more females to run for government office. Secondly, when females serve in the
government, it helps shatter myths about females, such as that they are overly
emotional, weak, and lack fire in the belly. Thirdly, in some – but nonetheless
important – ways, many females govern differently than their male counterparts,
the underlying cause of which is caused by differences in socialization.
Fourthly, the aforementioned three reasons cause meaningful social change to
take place.
Female
governmental officials’ presence encourages more females to enter the political
sphere. Most people do not like being trailblazers. When they see someone like
them who has already entered politics, they have a proclivity to think that
they might be able to do that too. After Madeleine Kunin became Governor of
Vermont, for example, many females who had previously settled for either lives
in the domestic sphere or low-level government posts began to see that they too
could achieve more; consequently, there was “a very big reservoir of female
applicants for positions all over state government” (Kunin 354-355). Symbolic representation
produces meaningful social change because it encourages more females to aspire
to greater heights in the here and now, and because it makes an indelible
impression on the self-esteem of female children, who will one day grow up and
be in positions to lead this nation. With regard to the former, later on in
this paper it is explained how female governmental officials, especially
high-level ones, cause meaningful social change. With regard to the latter, as
then-Governor of Texas, Ann Richards, stated: “There will be a lot of little
girls who open their history texts to see my picture [ . . . ] and they will
say, ‘If she can do it, so can I’” (qtd. In Thomas 56).
Additionally,
a shattering of myths about females occurs when females serve in the government,
which produces meaningful social change as it helps ensure that when female
children grow up, they will be able to do anything that they want to do,
including leading the nation; it also helps female adults, as it helps tear
down some of the many myth-produced barriers that they must contend with on a
day-to-day basis. Two prevalent myths are that females are overly emotional and
weak. Female politicians like former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
help shatter these myths. She earned the sobriquet “the Iron Lady”: pleas to
compassion did not deter her from slashing Britain’s welfare rolls; in 1982,
she refused to surrender the Falkland Islands, opting instead to battle it out
with Argentina until she achieved her objective – victory; nine years later, on
the eve of the Persian Gulf War, she instructed then-U.S. President George Bush
to not be “wobbly”. Another myth is that females lack the necessary fire in the
belly to be politicians. Female politicians like U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein shatter
this one also. For example, Feinstein was twice unsuccessful in attaining San
Francisco’s mayorship before winning two, four-year terms (Clift and Brazaitis
174).
The
shattering of myths and the benefits conferred with symbolic representation are
not the only positive things that occur when females serve in the government.
We also need more female governmental officials because, while Reingold was
right in the assessment that female and male governmental officials are mostly
alike in their governance (215), they still tend to govern in some different –
but nonetheless important – ways. One such way centers on political
appointments. Many females who hold executive positions in the government
actively seek out qualified females to appoint to government posts. Unlike many
of her male predecessors, for example, then-Governor of Vermont Madeleine Kunin
realized that although being confined to the domestic sphere for years on end
made females’ credentials typically different from males’, it did not mean that
females were unqualified for government posts. She therefore tapped into her
“Old Girls” network and appointed females in much greater numbers than had been
done previously (Kunin 355). Likewise, in 1993 then-Governor of New Jersey
Christine Todd Whitman appointed the “first woman attorney general and the
first female African-American secretary of state” (Clift and Brazaitis 178).
The question arises: why is it important that females be appointed to
government posts? Answer: because it is important that females serve in the
government.
Female
governmental officials also tend to be more passionate than male governmental
officials about improving and strengthening social programs such as day care,
education, and welfare, which, it can be argued, produces meaningful social
change, as when such programs are improved and strengthened people are treated
more humanely and are given the tools necessary to help live up to their full
potential. Furthermore, female governmental officials have a great proclivity
to ratify legislation that deals with issues that directly affect females. As
this writer mentioned in a previous paper: “A researcher found that over 80% of
female candidates for U.S. Congress and state legislatures ‘had positive
attitudes toward the women’s movement, and that substantial majorities
supported feminist positions on such issues as the ERA’ (Amy 101) (6).”
That
researcher is not alone in the assessment that a large percentage of female
candidates for political office are passionate about those issues that
disproportionally affect women: the Center for American Women and Politics at
Rutgers University also concurs (Kunin 365), which is exciting because:
“as more and more women
have been elected to government office over the years, their positive attitudes
toward the women’s movement and support for feminist positions have translated
into many victories for women. For example, U.S. Congresswomen played an
integral role in ratifying The Family and Medical Leave Act, and they also
helped change the practice of naming all hurricanes after women, which is good
as hurricanes are destructive” (Clift and Brazaitis 107) (Katrena 6).
And there are many
examples of victories on the state level as well. For instance, in 1990 in
Vermont, among the most passionate about establishing family courts were female
governmental officials. Family courts are good for women as they can “equalize
the balance of power between men and women within the judicial system by
recognizing the vulnerability of women and children when they [are] at the most
fragile point in their lives” (Kunin 368).
This is
not to say that male governmental officials’ legislation is always, or even
often, bad. Rather, as Oregon Congressperson Jackie Winters said during the
“Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Women and Work” panel discussion, and former
Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland said in the videocassette “Women
World Leaders,” men and women tend to have different perspectives. The
inclusion of both perspectives in legislation is beneficial, as both men and women
have good points.
Some
assume that because female governmental officials tend to have different
perspectives than their male colleagues it is indicative of inherent differences
in the mindsets of men and women. This too is a myth; it is shattered by an
elementary understanding of sociology. Men and women tend to have some
differences when it comes to governing because they are usually raised
differently, and they are treated differently throughout their live. Boys are
usually encouraged to compete against each other and be aggressive; girls are
usually encouraged to cooperate and play nice. Until very recently, men were
usually the sole income producers; women were the ones who took care of the
home. (In contemporary times, while husbands are taking a larger degree of
responsibility for the care of the children and the home than they did before,
the average husband still does not spend as much time on these things as his
wife does.)
Some of
the media often helps perpetuate this gender stratification by, for example,
having movies and advertising depict men as being aggressive and women as being
subordinate. Not surprisingly, then, men’s and women’s thinking tends to differ
in some ways, and their governing-styles reflect this, with male governmental
officials often having a tendency to care more about competitive things, such
as war, and female governmental officials often having a tendency to care more
about nurturing/family things like child care and education. Governor Madeleine
Kunin, for example, was passionate about child care because – like most women –
her personal experience with the issue as a mother made her much more
insightful and interested in it (Kunin 365). As Phillips stated:
“We do not have to resort
to either mysticism or socio-biology to explain social differences between
women and men, and it would be most peculiar if the different responsibilities
the sexes carry for caring for others did not translate into different approaches
to politics and power (75).”
When
society has more female governmental officials, it will most likely never go
back to the days when one could count the number of female governmental
officials on one hand, as female governmental officials’ presence encourages
more females to run for political office. When more females are governmental
officials, myths about females shatter. Moreover, females bring to the table
their unique (socially-created) perspectives, which is good, because the
perspectives are good. Our society may never become perfect, but as the numbers
of female governmental officials increase, it will become more just.

Livy’s
History of Rome: The Twin Disciplines of War and Peace, and the Lessons
Conferred
Written by Brandon Katrena
Although
war and peace are antithetical by definition, during the reigns of Romulus and
Numa those two opposites, according to Livy, brought to Rome and to Romans many
benefits and dangers. Specifically, Romulus’s specialty – war – gave the city
women, other tangibles, and valuable intangibles, while Numa’s specialty –
peace – brought about development and religiosity, and, because of the latter,
more respect from other states. Additionally, while Livy wrote about events
that occurred from 753 to 674 BC, in many ways his discussion about a society
at peace more than 600 years from the time he was living was very relevant to
the Rome he and his countrymen inhabited.
According
to Livy, the Romans of antiquity loved war. This amorous fixation with it was
why they “declare[d] that Mars himself was their first parent” (Livy, 33), and
why they so highly valued bravery, strength, and constance. Romulus’s reign did
his first parent proud: not only did he wage war against Rome’s adversaries (an
egregious exception was the non-retribution for Tatius’s murder), when it came
to being a warrior and military strategist, he was la crème de la crème.
Perhaps after a battle like the one against the men of Caenina, Mars was proud
of His Children’s prowess.
War is,
for good reason, associated with devastation to both sides of a conflict. The
severely weakened states of the Trojans, Latins, and Rutuli after their
conflict (Livy, 36), the Allies and Central Powers after World War I, and the
European Countries after World War II being three examples out of a myriad.
However, when Romulus was on the throne, war conferred a number of benefits to
Rome.
War gave
Rome women, whose ability to procreate was normally needed for the maintenance
and/or increase of the population. Exceptions included mergers and non-violent
acquisitions, such as when the Sabine women convinced their husbands to lay
down their weapons and join with the Romans, which caused an approximate doubling
in the population of Rome.
“Woe to
the vanquished!” the adage goes. From spoils (Livy, 45) to territory (Livy, 46
and 50), war gave the Roman community other tangible benefits. These allowed
Mars’s Children to survive and expand.
War gave
valuable intangibles. Experience from former conflicts, for example, meant
that, “the sheer power of [Romulus’s] veteran troops sufficed for victory” over
Veii (Livy, 50). With the fall of Veii came many of the aforementioned
benefits. Rome obtained another intangible – protection – both from the
negation of retribution from (now conquered) foreign people, and from those
like the men of Fidenae, for whom Rome’s exponential expansion caused worry.
Moreover, victory on the battlefield was a means to accomplishing the paramount
goal of pleasing the gods. For instance, after the battle against the
revenge-seeking men of Caenina, Romulus gave the enemy commander’s armor to
Jupiter Feretrius (Livy, 45). An argument can be made that whether or not the
gods really existed was not too important; it only mattered that the Romans
believed the gods were pleased, as a worried populace caused a fall in morale,
and that spelled trouble.
War was
not all good to the Romans, as it came with the specter of danger. Until Rome
first became an expansive Empire and could afford to lose a skirmish here, say
in Greece, and there, say in Northern Africa, losing a single battle carried
with it the possibility of the sack of the city and its citizens being led away
in shackles. What is more, with a plethora of the men off fighting, not only
was Rome vulnerable, but lots of the farming did not get done. Yes, the spoils
of war could help; however, victory was never assured.
Much to
their first parent’s chagrin, during the reign of Numa, the Romans turned away
from their bellicose ways and embraced peace. Like war, this path too conferred
several benefits to Rome. It also had its downside.
Peace
allowed Rome to develop. Numa created a calendar. He created holidays, which
boosted morale. Numa encouraged the maturing of religion through (a) the
appointment of priests and virgin priestesses, (b) the consecration of an altar
to Jupiter Elicius, and (c) the empowerment of the Pontifex, Senator Numa
Marcius, with control over many of religion’s facets (Livy, 55).
This
religiosity gave Rome newfound respect from other states. During the reign of
Romulus they thought the Children of Mars would forever don the shawl of
belligerence and with it beat them senseless. They treated Romans accordingly.
During Numa’s reign the surrounding states “came to revere [Rome] so profoundly
as a community dedicated wholly to worship that the mere thought of offering
her violence seemed to them like sacrilege” (Livy, 56).
As is the
case with war, peace was not 100% good. Livy stated that it could cause
slothfulness, leaving a city like Rome vulnerable to attack (Livy, 54). In
addition, while peace may have sometimes brought reverence, it could just as
well have caused other states to not fear Rome and, as Machiavelli’s The
Prince stated, there were benefits to being feared; namely, it helped ward
off attack.
Livy’s
treatment of peace applied to his contemporary Romans. He wrote in the preface
that his Rome’s “might [ . . . ] [was] beginning to work its own ruin.” And it
was. During the time period encompassing 25 to 5 BC, large Roman armies were
fighting the so-called “Barbarians” on the outskirts of The Empire. The Roman
Generals, gorged with the power war accorded to them, were trying to seize
control, causing chaos in the meantime (Heichelheim, Ward, and Yeo, 247). As
Livy pointed out in his writing, during Numa’s reign, peace provided internal
developments and -- much more importantly for his countrymen -- also lead
through religiosity to Rome’s enemies not waging war. Furthermore, religion --
except in those religions where Dionysus, Liber, and their ilk were held in
very high esteem -- could lessen the sensual excesses that plagued Livy’s, not
Numa’s, Rome (Livy, 34 and 36).
War and
peace benefited the Rome of antiquity. They also entailed risk. I believe that
the moral behind Livy’s story was that either of these polar opposites,
depending on the context, could be warmly embraced and would probably produce
good results, but a Person should not fall so much in love with either War or
Peace that it blinded Him or Her to the danger lurking in the shadows of their
friend’s eyes.

there is often No Foul.” Aka, “No Harm, No Foul.”
Some Jokes that I Wrote:
A Man said to another
Man, “You better Belly up to that Soda Fountain.”
A Man said to a Woman,
“I’ll be ready in 2 minutes.” And The Woman said, “I have My Stopwatch going
right now, and if it is even a nanosecond more than 2 minutes, You are in Big
Trouble, Mister.”
Regarding someone saying,
in response to a Question about how his day went, that He was Voting for a
Presidential Candidate that would seek to Peacefully Eliminate all Nuclear
Weapons around the World, a Man said, “What has that got to do with the Price
of Fish?” And a guy started talking about how that affected the Price of Fish,
before The Man said, “I did Not mean that Literally when I asked what that has
to do with the Price of Fish.”
A Man said, “I guess I’ll
have a piece of cheese. I haven’t had any today.” And a guy jumped up and down
and yelled at Him, “That’s Not True! That’s Not True! 23 and a Half Hours ago
you ate Cottage Cheese. Don’t You Remember?! Don’t You Remember!? What’s Wrong
with You?!”
A Man got a Very Hard
Question Right on a Game Show, and a guy said, “I would have gotten that
Question Right if I wasn’t preoccupied in thinking about Me Spilling Milk that
one day 18 years ago.”

Proclaim September 7th a Legal Holiday in Recognition of both The
Importance of Proper Food Digestion and The Ability to Read.
I remember watching on Cable Television a Famous
Comedian who had Pictures of President Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, and
The Comedian took away the Beard on the Picture of Abraham Lincoln, and Abraham
Lincoln and Jefferson Davis then looked almost Identical. – Brandon
As The End Result of The US Civil War Demonstrated,
the Fifty States that Comprise The United States, in addition to The Federal
Government, are in an Unbreakable Pact: No State can Really Leave, and No State
can Really be Kicked Out. There is No Real Exit Clause. And that is OK.
