America: Shaped by Pre-history
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the ways in which the first to arrive in America between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago have served to shape today’s American civilization and national culture. The paper discusses the resolve that they certainly must have had in leaving everything known for everything unknown, then using in the new places only those things available to them in the new environment. Asian cultures are enigmatic in their reverence for their ancestors, and it remains a fact that Westerners often dismiss. Ancestry does direct the paths of the future, however. Our pre-history, Renaissance and colonial ancestry well serves the world’s only “mongrel” country, one made up of many ancestral strains, all of which have proven to represent magnificent stock. The paper also includes a discussion of American reaction to Pearl Harbor and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Ancient Egyptian Cosmetology
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Women's vanity is a social ill that has existed as long as the female has walked this earth. To think the twentieth century reflects the most vigorous and invasive types of body art is to overlook the Ancient Egyptian trendsetters who set in motion several practices that remain as prominent now as they did thousands of years ago. The female form has long challenged the aspect of beauty, with myriad global cultures applying the tenets of attractiveness as they believe them to exist. For the Ancient Egyptians, physical transformation in the form of body art meant more than mere outward enhancement; rather, hennas, tattoos and other implements of improvement had significant traditional implications.
