...sorrowful wail of the weeping La Llorona? The mythical urban legend, La Llorona, hunts for and captures wandering children by quiet and lonesome rivers. She forever will be searching for children that resemble her own to mourn their grieving deaths. The La Llorona has forever done so after her own death by suicide in the same river as her beloved children. The reason for her wailing and searching for her children for so long is because she was denied at the gates of heaven and will not be sent into the afterlife until she finds her children that are unknowingly already in the afterlife and that she will never find them. The La Llorona has been around for many centuries and has been known to wail a horrible weeping that exclaims, “Ay, mi hijos!”, or “Oh, my children!” The La Llorona has been reported in many states and U.S. territories along the southern border of the America’s.

...As we move out of the 20th century into a world where technology is changing the way we work and play and are educated, college enrollment is at an all time high. But based on the SAT and ACT scores, academic achievement has declined leading to the question in Joyce Baldwin's article, "Liberal Arts for New Millennium", of whether or not a liberal arts background should still be included in the definition of "an educated person". A half a century ago the traditional college degree was a bachelors in a liberal arts discipline. Recently a large number of degrees acquired are in a specific profession or in business, or business administration type discipline. While that worked for a long period of time, we are now in a changing world of advanced technology and globalization and reshaping and remodeling college curriculum to be up to-date needs to be evaluated. One of the issues is identifying the best way for colleges to prepare students in all facets of their life in the new millennium. There is an urgent need for a new set of guidelines, a revamping of our educational system to keep up with the times and to prepare students, as Baldwin puts it, "for life, work, and citizenship, safeguard our democratic society, and meet our obligations in the world" thus preparing students to be well rounded educated citizens. The sharp rise in tuition cost and the expectations of both students and parents have them scrutinizing whether or not they are getting the education they are paying...

...Bartolome de Las Casas was a Spanish historian, a religious leader, and a social reformer who has gone down in history as the “protector of the Indians.” He abolished the use of encomiendas, stressed equality, and influenced the Spanish crown to grant the native americans human rights. His brutally honest accounts of Spanish mistreatment have influenced not only the way people view natives, but, how they view the Spanish. As a young man, Las Casas found himself disgusted at the treatment of the Natives, and, when working as a merchant, he refused to use an encomienda for cheap labor (Stacy). In 1512, Las Casas was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest, and he dedicated himself to stand up for the rights of the Native Americans, arguing that they were “sons of God” with religion, history, and government. Las Casas sailed back to Spain in 1540 with a mission to reform laws that regulated relations between the races. The New Laws were adopted in 1542, limiting ownership of natives to one generation. In 1544, Las Casas returned to Spain to enforce the New Laws, which were met with great resistance by many...

... Cultura Griega y Romana – Sexo Grecia La sexualidad jugaba un papel importante dentro de la cultura griega. Educaban a sus hijos sobre una sexualidad plena y el erotismo. Dentro de la mitología griega existían muchos relatos sobre infidelidades entre dioses y mortales. La virginidad era celebrada con cultos y era representada por la diosa Altemisa, la cual era una diosa virgen. Los griegos veian la perdida de la virginidad como una especie de muerte. No obstante, la diosa que representaba la virginidad estaba casada con Endimion. Todas las jóvenes debían hacer voto de castidad y las que querían pertenecer a la orden de Altemisa debían ejercerlo o de lo contrario debían abandonar la Orden Sagrada. La homosexualidad era aceptada en Grecia tanto de hombres como de mujeres y esto no conflijia con su status social, económico o el prestigio del que gozaran. El cuerpo de los hombres era símbolo de perfeccion por eso era lógico admirarlo y que los mas viejos gozaran de disfrutar admirar su belleza física. El sexo entre hombres era para el disfrute y culto a la belleza, pero el sexo entre hombre y mujer era solamente para procrear. Esta cultura utilizo a los dioses para reflejar sus instintos y hacer del sexo una practica aceptada por la sociedad, ya que los dioses eran sus ejemplos a emular. Existian burdeles de hombres jóvenes que ofrecían favores sexuales. Los hombres adultos se podian prostituir. Debido a las largas jornadas en guerra, los hombres buscaban el placer...
