Exegesis Of The Book Of Malachi, Malcolm M. Hutton
Exegesis Of The Book Of Malachi, Malcolm M. Hutton
Honors Theses
The work of an exegete is invaluable if one is to uncover the intended meaning of any passage. Contrary to what many religionists so demonstrably insist, scripture is no exception. Scholars declare that to shy away from scripture simply because it is God's Holy Word is to do great injustice to the passage. Scripture should be open to the same careful scrutiny as is applied to any other writing. Certainly a careful study of God's Word to mankind would not cause us to dismiss scriptural utterances but would only serve to enhance our understanding of what is being transmitted to …
Collingwood's Idea Of History : The Development And Form Of Historical Inquiry, Timothy A. Hartin
Collingwood's Idea Of History : The Development And Form Of Historical Inquiry, Timothy A. Hartin
Honors Theses
History was long considered a somehow second-rate discipline, incapable of producing true knowledge like math or the hard sciences. Whether viewed as the handmaiden of theology in the Middle Ages or simply denied a place among the sciences by the latter-day positivists, history's independence and value as a study in its own right have been denied from many points of view at different times. R.G. Collingwood takes issue with this attitude towards history by assert its autonomy both in subject and method in his The Idea of History. His inquiry into the nature of history is divided into two parts. …
The Palestinian Right To Self-Determination And Statehood, Beth Holland
The Palestinian Right To Self-Determination And Statehood, Beth Holland
Honors Theses
Israel and the United States believe that the Israelis have the right to exist as a nation and that the Palestinians do not have this right. The Palestinians believe that Israel, with the help of the United States, has usurped their land, and that they, the Palestinians, have the right to self-determination and statehood.
Who, then, is right, and who is wrong? The writer of this paper believes that Israel's right to statehood has been used to justify the suffering of the Palestinians. When right is used to sanction another's misery, it becomes wrong. Therefore, hoping that she may strengthen …
Cockney Dialect And Slang, Jamie Fowler
Cockney Dialect And Slang, Jamie Fowler
Honors Theses
This paper is the capstone of a personal project which I began three years ago only as a matter of personal interest. While the information the project divulges is not difficult to understand, it should be noted that the details of this subject are virtually inaccessible to Americans or any other person who is not a part of the subculture of the Cockney people. Very little substantial information has been documented on the subject of Cockney dialect and slang. Therefore, most of my knowledge was gained through research and personal interviews with key sources in the London area.
Danmono: A Type Of Japanese Koto Music, Jonathan Richard Besancon
Danmono: A Type Of Japanese Koto Music, Jonathan Richard Besancon
Honors Theses
Sokyoku (koto music) in Japan before the end of the seventeenth century is represented by only two genres: sets of solo songs with koto accompaniment which are called kurniuta, and koto solos called danrnono. Danrnono and kurniuta were the beginning of the sokyoku tradition which developed through the Tokugawa Period (1600-1868). It is the solo genre of sokyoku, the danrnono, which is the subject of this study. This genre is the most important of the few examples of Japanese music which are independent of literary influence. The danmono repertoire is also rather curious because it is limited today to only …
Life Without Reference To The French Revolution: A Study Of The Cultural And Intellectual Environment Reflected In Six Novels By Jane Austen, Kathy Olive
Honors Theses
Psychologists have argued for years over the effects of heredity versus the effects of the environment in the development of the individual. While both play an important role in everyone's development the artist or writer leaves behind a more visible record of these effects. Although not written from a psychologist's viewpoint, this paper will focus on the environment which helped to shape the novelist Jane Austen and the reflection of that environment which is found in her six major novels: Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Emma, and Mansfield Park.
Slavery In Hempstead County, Arkansas, Dena White
Slavery In Hempstead County, Arkansas, Dena White
Honors Theses
A great number of general works on American Negro slavery have been published, but most are based upon records from the plantation belt. With the notable exception of Orville Taylor's Negro Slavery in Arkansas, these works almost entirely ignore Arkansas. Although slavery had certain uniformity throughout the South, the study of these previously untouched areas add to, and may eventually modify, our knowledge of the Old South's "peculiar institution."
A relatively new concept among historians is the study of slavery at the local, or county, level. Alfred North Whitehead has written, "We think in generalities, but we live in …
