What Was Horace’s Concept Of Personal Ethical Cause And Effect?

Horace, also known as Quintus Horatius, was a Roman poet during the time of Augustus. He believed that you were never very good nor very bad; but instead, you should aspire to occupy the middle ground.

Death. Death, according to Horace, was the biggest thing in life. Everyone is destined to die one day, and thus the wealth you gain in your life means nothing. It doesn’t matter how rich or well off you are right now, because once you’re dead, all of your riches can’t save you; and you can’t take them with you. Continue reading

What Are The Main Differences Between Genesis 1 And Theogony?

Hesiod’s Theogony and the Book of Genesis from the Bible are both accounts of how the world came to be. However, only one is true. The Theogony is a Greek poem that says through the god of chaos every other god came to be by means of procreation. Whereas in the Bible we see that there is only one God. Continue reading

What Is The View Of The Biblical Materials On The Role Of Ethics In The Development Of History?

Think about how many laws there are in the world today. Millions? Billions? Trillions? No one knows. However, did you know that the vast majority of these laws have, in some way, been influenced by the Bible? For example, in the Bible, we have the “Ten Commandments”. The “Ten Commandments” are ten laws that God gave to Moses to show us how to live our lives. Continue reading

Discuss The Relationship Between Ethics And Sanctions In Proverbs 1-7

King Solomon wrote the majority of the Proverbs in the Bible. The first nine books in the Proverbs are a sort of introduction to the book. We do not see this happen in almost any other book in the Bible.

In the book of Proverbs, King Solomon seems to be giving a lesson to his son, by using stories. In these stories, he discusses good vs evil, and he uses a woman to represent each of Continue reading

Hierarchy In Genesis 1-3

Hierarchy is everywhere. Including the Bible. Genesis 1-3 is the first example we see of this.


“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.”

As A Writer Of An Autobiography About Life In The Woods, Would You Spend More Pages Describing An Ant War Or Loons? Why?

In the autobiography of Henry David Thoreau, Walden, we get to see him leave the comforts of his home and set forth on an exciting journey filled with adventure; as he lives alone in the wilderness on the edge of the world. Well… at least that’s what he would like us to think. In reality, however, he lives in a squatter’s shack two miles from town, while his mother comes to do his laundry and cook for him. He’s got it pretty rough, right? Yet, despite all of this, he still claims that he is a self-reliant man; who is one with nature. Yes, says the man who lived like this for only two years and then moved back in with his mom. Nice. The book is rather pathetic and extremely overrated.

For many people writing something from memory can be quite difficult. There is an art to writing; especially when you are writing about an event or story which has, for some time, passed.

Well, all of them are important in their own way; so, as a result, it is hard to determine which, out of these three, is the most important.
