Similarities Between the Edicts of Ashoka, the Bible, and...

Jared Sidney Messer Hi 101, Essay 2 Option 2, A few thousand years ago, three sets of laws were composed that show remarkable similarities in their instructions on how to live a moral and righteous life. Although they were written hundreds of miles apart from each other, and in totally different cultures and civilizations, the Edicts of Ashoka, the Bible, and Hammurabi’s Code all elucidate the moral principles of self-control, justice, and abstention from harming living beings. In the Thirteenth Rock Edict, Ashoka, the greatest Mauryan king of India, points out that he desired to have self-control. This is the act of self-denial and the ability to control your impulses. Ashoka obviously considered this to be a virtue and in†¦show more content†¦Justice was held up by these three sets of laws as a quality of utmost importance. One of Ashoka’s most convicting beliefs was the abstention of harming any living being. This is evident by his conversion to peace loving Buddhism after the gruesome Kalinga war. However, he did make it clear that if his subjects did not reform or submit to his rule, he would have to punish them

Argumentative Assignment Saving Private Ryan - 1163 Words

â€Å"Saving Private Ryan† Argumentative Assignment Steven Spielberg, in his 1998 cinematic classic â€Å"Saving Private Ryan†, documented the retrieval operation of Private First Class James Francis Ryan, the last surviving of four brothers to fall in action during WWII. The film, set in late WWII, opened with a half hour rendition of the macabre American occupation of Omaha beach during D-Day. Spielberg tied viewers to protagonist Airborne Ranger Captain Miller, played by Tom Hanks, as he fought through the heavily German fortified shores of Normandy. The Americans eventually took the beach, and CPT Miller then received direct follow on orders from General George C. Marshall to go and pull PFC Ryan from the frontlines of battle. The†¦show more content†¦This promise to leave no one behind can mean several things. Literally it translates to the US military, both as an institution and as an organization of people, will not voluntarily disregard the life of a soldier, regardless of context. Moreover, the implicati ons of this commitment even extend to those closest to soldiers: their families. The reason why the military implements lofty life insurance plans and facilitates on post resources for family members is because the soldier and his family are rooted as one. In the film, the General ultimately considers PFC Ryan’s mother in the final decision to send him home. His reasoning considered the fact that she already sacrificed three sons to the war. Ryan’s mother completed her civic duty through her son’s service and no longer owed the country any more of her children. To allow last of his name PFC Ryan to continue the fight meant that General Marshall accepted that PFC Ryan’s mother’s vote was not important. Indeed, this would be leaving her behind. Thus, the choice to bring PFC Ryan back to his mother was made in the light of the Army’s most consecrated promise and with all military families, past, present or future, in mind. Chartering the mission to save PFC Ryan was the best option because it reinforces the values of the US military where compassion for others is cherished. The US military is the most trusted organization because it operates on a family basis. ThisShow MoreRelatedMastering Graduate Studies 1e32499 Words   |  130 Pagesenticing.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin free essay sample

Led Zeppelin is one of the most influential and is widely regarded as the best rock band of all time. I proudly regard them as the best band of all time, and as the fore fathers to many new groups and musicians. Their fourth album titled simply Led Zeppelin IV included such influentially experimental songs such as Stairway to Heaven and Battle of Evermore while sticking to the tried and true Zeppy methods through Rock and Roll, Black Dog, and When the Levee Breaks. Some of my personal favorites include Four Sticks, Going to California, and Misty Mountain Hop. With Jimmy page shredding on guitar, Robert Plant providing his now iconic screaming and at times lyrical vocals, John Bonham’s in your face drums, and John Paul Jones laying down some smooth bass Led Zeppelin was able to influence not only a generation, but also the world and those to come. We will write a custom essay sample on Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Led Zeppelin IV was able to masterfully blend hard rock songs, mystical ballads, and bluesy rock to create an album unlike any other in existence. Even those who are not fans of Led Zeppelin or even rock and roll cannot help but sing along when they hear the lyrical vocals of Robert Plant as he lulls you into a new world during the eight minute run time of Stairway to Heaven. Unfortunately the band broke up after the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980, and the world is a far poorer place for having lost out on what could have been.

Today, for example, we’re looking at writing percentages. Words and Numbers As with any numbers, percentages can be written as either words or numbers: Words: Around nine percent of people dislike coffee. Numbers: Approximately 91% of people like coffee. The examples above reflect three important guidelines when writing percentages: Numbers up to ten are usually written as words, while larger numbers are written as numerals When a percentage is written as a word, it should be followed by â€Å"percent† When a percentage is written as a numeral, it should be followed by the â€Å"%† sign However, this can vary depending on the context (e.g., measurements in scientific writing are almost always written as numerals, even for numbers under ten). It’s therefore a good idea to check your style guide for advice on how to write percentages. Percent vs. Per Cent The question we’re asked most often about writing percentages is whether to use â€Å"percent† or â€Å"per cent.† Ultimately, though, this doesn’t really matter: both are accepted spellings of this term. Again, we recommend checking your style guide if you have one, as some publishers and colleges have a preference. And â€Å"percent† is much more common these days than â€Å"per cent.† But other than that, the main thing is picking one spelling and using it consistently throughout your work. Percent vs. per cent When to Use â€Å"Percentage† Finally, we have the word â€Å"percentage.† Although similar to â€Å"percent,† this word has a slightly different usage: â€Å"Percent† is used with specific numbers, while â€Å"percentage† is used when referring to a general or non-specific amount of something. For example: A small percentage of the forms were coffee stained. Almost seven percent of the forms were coffee stained. As shown above, you should use â€Å"percentage† when the exact amount is unspecified.

Health Effects of PBDE Absorption

Health Effects of PBDE Absorption Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) is a common flame retardant used to reduce the risk of fire in a wide variety of products, such as childrens pajamas and your computer. PBDEs are excellent flame retardants, but the chemicals have been accumulating in the environment and in human bodies. Relatively recent reports have indicated that exposure to low concentrations of these chemicals may result in irreparable damage to the nervous and reproductive systems. The European Union will ban two of the three most common PBDE formulations starting in 2004. California is the only U.S. state to take action, passing a law to ban certain PBDEs, but not until 2008. Several Japanese electronics companies will be phasing PBDEs from their products. Other countries and individual manufacturers are taking steps to eliminate their use of PBDEs. PBDE concentrations are 10-20 times higher in North Americans than in Europeans. European concentrations are about twice those of Japanese levels. Calculations performed by Ronald Hites of Indiana University show that body concentrations have been exponentially increasing, with a doubling time of 4 to 5 years. PBDE-containing products are being phased out, but the chemicals remain a health concern because they are so persistent in the body and in the environment.
