SummaryWorld history is full of brutality. Wars and conquests, rapes and massacres; savage displays of the primitive monster man has always been and always will be. Yet more disgusting than any military operation is the mutilation of religion in the face of political gain. Murderers claiming religious vindication, men and women cleansing themselves of blame in so-called acts of faith and holy bloodshed. The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, while narrowly averted, was simply another violent solution to the oppression of English Catholics that had steadily worsened throughout the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The optimism of the new Scottish ruler was evident in his attempts to satisfy both the Catholic and Protestant populations of his new sovereignty. “I will never allow in my conscience that the blood of any man shall be shed for diversity of opinions in religion,” wrote King James I in an early letter to Robert Cecil (Fraser 38). But the desire for religious supremacy loosely disguised as the desire for religious tolerance is not so easily satisfied by words and empty promises, and the stupidity of King James nearly cost him his life and lives of Parliament. The engineers of the Gunpowder Plot earned their infamy as the first modern terrorists. However, defining terrorism is a subjective process, and the question remains: was the Gunpowder Plot an act of terrorism or a justified act of desperation? Four centuries of debate have proven the former. The Gunpowder Plot seeped into historical texts not only as the first terrorist act of its kind, but as a defining example of terrorism and the difficulty of assigning such a label.
Table of Contents
- World history is full of brutality. Wars and conquests, rapes and massacres; savage displays of the primitive monster man has always been and always will be.
- It is important to remember the far-reaching effects of terrorism.
- The original conspirators designed the Gunpowder Plot on the grounds that the impact would devastate more than Parliament alone.

SummaryDNA technology is vital to our technological progress as a society. Without such things as gene therapy which is part of DNA technology many medical feats would not have been accomplished. DNA manipulation is used in many aspects of life, ranging from farms to hospitals and the gene cloning we attempted in our lab was but a precursor to all these great advances.
Table of Contents
- Introduction
- The DNA manipulation can lead to many advances and understanding how DNA works is important not only for the scientist but also for the general public
- Gel electrophoresis is a method used to separate DNA fragments for analysis and size comparison
- In the second week of the DNA lab (Part II), we resuspended the DNA pellet in 20µl TE buffer and vortexed the solution
- After everything was done, we mixed the restriction enzyme digests with the blue dye solution containing xylene cyanol and bromophenol blue
- Written Results
- The control gels in the experiment did not run out all the way making the result hard to interpret.
- The BglI cut at around 1700 and 1400 and the EcoRI and BglI cut at 1400 and 1600 base pairs, because the lightest ones go the farthest.

Summary(King James Bible, Psalms 34:1)
With patriarchal systems prevalent in most societies, masculinity is often exalted as a source of universal power. Critics, often focused on the issues of political correctness and moral integrity in such sexist assumptions, never object to the actual existence of beliefs in male dominance. But the strength of men born into these earthly patriarchies is meaningless before God, reduced to the weakness inherent to any subordinate group. Just as Eve was formed of Adam’s rib, so did “the Lord God [form] man of the dust of the ground, and [breathe] into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (King James Bible, Gen. 2.7). Men are entitled to the control of the carnal bodies of women but are not themselves in control of their eternal souls. Women, taught to follow since birth, fulfill their Christian roles naturally; Mary is idealized throughout the religion for her acquiescence and the literal contentment she feels when obeying the formative power of God (Podles 36). However, men can only be forced into obedience, feminized by their forfeiture of leadership and autonomy. They can only be controlled through fear.

Table of Contents
- With patriarchal systems prevalent in most societies, masculinity is often exalted as a source of universal power.
- Men fear sin because as sinners they relinquish their rights to Heaven.
- This Christian conviction that sin resides within the innate savageness, inseparable from the defining characteristics of masculinity, is best proven by the popularity of missionaries during the years of British Colonization.
- Missionaries took quite seriously the calling of Jesus Christ to spread the teachings of the Lord, but this brash goal for universal Christianity
- Based on conversation and action alone, Othello appears as Venetian as the other characters.
- The authority of his family is replaced with the authority of his teachers.
- A girl stood before him in midstream, alone and still, gazing out to sea. She seemed like on whom magic had changed into the likeness of a strange and beautiful seabird.
