Medicine And Doctoring In Ancient Mesopotamia, Emily K. Teall
Grand Valley Journal of History
Medicine and pharmaceuticals in Mesopotamia during the span of c. 3000-1000 BCE were more sophisticated than many ancient and modern scholars from other cultures would concede. The limited historical evidence in the form of cuneiform texts and the complementary archaeological material allow for medical practice in this long time span to be examined as a whole. There were two dichotomous traditions of healing present in ancient Mesopotamia, one more therapeutic and one more religious; they were non-competitive and both considered reputable and essential. The therapeutic tradition is given a closer examination in order to provide a picture of how pharmaceutical ...

Religion As Memory: The Urge To Remember As A Vehicle Of Religious Revival, Danny Blinderman
The Undergraduate Journal of Social Studies
According to standard definitions, a main tenant of secularization is the weakening of belief in the divine. Even as the secularization narrative has been challenged and critiqued from almost every angle, few scholars have chosen to challenge the core definition of religiosity at the heart of the secularization paradigm. This paper rejects as insufficient the definition of religion as a relationship between an individual and his or her deity and posits a more nuanced alternative: that religion can be understood as a relationship with one’s past and that secularization can be understood as the severing of those bonds of ...

The Religion Of Communism And The Spiritual Stalemate, Brendan Z. O'Donnell
The Undergraduate Journal of Social Studies
The Cold War is frequently remembered as a battle for technological supremacy between two international superpowers: the Soviet Union and the United States of America. Often overlooked is the underlying spiritual battle in which the United States competed with the Soviet Union on a spiritual plane, trying to establish an international set of religious symbols throughout the world to combat the godless atheism associated with Communism. This establishing of an international civil religion failed for two reasons: first, the United States failed to overcome Communism, which was acting as an alternative to the civil religion that the U.S. sought ...

In God We Trust: The Cold War And The Creation Of Modern American Civil Religion, Julian A. Theseira
The Undergraduate Journal of Social Studies
In his article, “Civil Religion in America,” Robert N. Bellah attempted to demonstrate the existence of a unique American civil religion that was the product of an organic tradition dating back to the time of the Founding Fathers. This paper will however challenge that conception by historicizing some of the iconic rituals and symbols of American civil religion and examining them within their historic contexts. In doing so, this paper hopes to demonstrate that modern American civil religion is very much a product of the Cold War era. Nevertheless, the fact that many aspects of American civil religion appear to ...

Rethinking The Relationship Between Religion And Modernity: The Emergence Of The New Christian Right In America, Scott Elias
The Undergraduate Journal of Social Studies
This paper critically examines the secularization thesis, a theory that broadly posits that religion will “die out” as a force in public and private life. Focusing on understanding the emergence of the New Christian Right in the 1980s and its consequences on the American political system, this paper argues that we must re-imagine the relationship between religion and modernity and rethink the intermeshing of public and private spheres. By focusing on the historically peculiar process of secularization in America, this paper embraces an understanding of different kinds and levels of religiosity that are historically contingent on long-term preconditions, the effects ...

"Hunger Is The Best Sauce": Frontier Food Ways In Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House Books, Erin E. Pedigo
Dissertations, Theses, & Student Research, Department of History
This thesis examines Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House book series for the frontier food ways described in it. Studying the series for its food ways edifies a 19th century American frontier of subsistence/companionate families practicing both old and new ways of obtaining food. The character Laura in Wilder's books is an engaging narrator who moves through childhood and adolescence, assuming the role of housewife. An overview of the century's norms about food in America, the strength of domesticity as an ideal, food and race relations, and the frontier as a physical place round out this unexplored ...

In July 2011, Australia and Malaysia entered into an arrangement in which Australian asylum seekers would be removed to neighboring Malaysia to have their asylum claims processed. Following widespread criticism in the media, Australia’s High Court ruled that such a deal violated Australia’s refuges protection laws. While this ruling should have put an end to the deal, Australia’s Immigration Minister indicated that the agreement might nevertheless be feasible. Policy makers proposed amending Australian domestic immigration laws to allow the deal to go forward unencumbered. A bill to amend Australia’s Migration Act was subsequently introduced. As it ...

The Cost Of Fear: An Analysis Of Sex Offender Registration, Community Notification, And Civil Commitment Laws In The United States And The United Kingdom, Kate Hynes
Penn State Journal of Law & International Affairs
Sex offenders are often seen as a notorious group in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The public opinion of the masses has often found its way into the laws which restrict the privacy and freedoms of many sex offenders. This comment will examine the often divergent trends in lawmaking and judicial authority in both countries in regard to sex offender registration, community notification, and civil commitment. Further, the comment will study the lasting effects on the sex offender population and potential civil rights implications.
