Another one of my Humanities coursework discussion postings:

If one could attribute a theme to the history of humanity it would be this: “we can’t do this on our own”. If we just take western culture as an example, we see that humanity has washed, rinsed, and repeated revolutions of philosophical thought over and over again. We have gone through several micro-cycles of chaos, adjustment, and balance.

By proud admission, the Ancient Romans were imperialists. They believed they had the ideal culture, and that it was their destiny to conquer and rule the world under their system. While America has certainly been accused of imperialism, the American way is truly different.

This is a discussion posting I wrote for a Humanities course that I am taking. I decided to post it here for posterity.

I love what I like to call “mental morsels”. I am talking about those interesting little tidbits of information that you get when studying subjects like this where certain elements of cultural development and etymology are discussed. These kinds of thoughts that the mind can savor, are some of what makes history so important to me.

The Virginia Tech shootings still weigh heavily on many minds. Even now words cannot fully give credence to the horror of this event. Much could be said and has been said regarding gun ownership, mental illness, personal privacy, information sharing in law enforcement, and personal freedoms.

Food for thought:

Do the rules listed below sound bad to you? They sound good to me, but apparently there are leaders of our country who think these words should be banned from the public setting. I guess freedom of speech only applies to those who agree with their ideology.

Maybe you don’t believe in God, but don’t you think if we read and applied these words to some degree then maybe we wouldn’t have some of the trouble we have in our country like Murder, Rape, Theft, School Shootings, Corporate Plunder, Political Corruption, Suicide, Drug Addiction, Alcoholism, Sexual Immorality, broken homes, Racism, Fraud, Child Abuse, and even heath issues related to stress? Maybe, just maybe if we started with these rules, things would be a little better. And don’t we all want that?
