His wife was religious and it discussed how hard it was for them with him not completely on board with the god theory. The article also broke down the age struggle of science and church.

...AIU Online September 19, 2012 Unit 2 Individual Project Latin was a large impact on the medieval ways. For very many years it was dominating the western world. The Latin language spread wherever the Roman Empire ruled. Around 1200 A.D. the empire began to fall and the Latin language began to fade. The people farthest away began to undergo the changes first and the ethical renewal began. Many individuals choose to use their vernacular language rather than Latin. In England they returned to old English with great influence from Alfred the Great. While in power he had written many books in old English; including many religious pieces. Beowulf and the Anglo Saxton Chronicles are also examples of literature written in old English. These pieces incorporated Latin characters. The English had many vernaculars during this time period. Your vernacular language depended on you social class. Lower classes tended to speak English. Traveling entertainers and many judicial situations utilized the vernacular in spoken form in France. A large percentage of the vernacular in France was romance; which stemmed from individuals jotting down stories as they were told by musicians that were passing through. Some of the oldest pieces date back to Charlemagne during the twelfth century. Germany used vernacular as early as the eighth century. Many attempts made to convert failed and was not accepted. During the 12th century many of the...

...philosophy, science and mathematics, medicine, drama, and poetry profoundly. It has served as a basic model for the development of later European literatures and, consequently, the writings of the historians, geographers, philosophers, scientists, and rhetoricians are read today as sources of historical information and enjoyment. Alfred Whitehead, the famous British philosopher-mathematician, once commented that: “[A]ll philosophy is but a footnote to Plato” (Comptons Encyclopedia). A similar point can be made regarding Greek literature as a whole. The Greek world of thought was far ranging and ideas discussed today have been previously debated by ancient writers. In fact, until recently, in Western culture, an acquaintance with classical Latin (as well as Greek) literature was basic to a liberal education. Roman literature such as epic and lyric poetry, rhetoric, history, comic drama and satire (the last genre being the only literary form that the Romans invented) serve as today’s backbone for a basic understanding of expression and artistic creativity, as well as history. Greek comedies such as those of Naevius and Andronicus, as well as historical writings in epic poems (First Punic War), tell the story of Rome and its conquests and served as prototypes for Aroman epics. Later poets imitated early Roman writers as they used these early writings for springboards into further development of drama. For example, Plautus’s lively plays were a model for much subsequent European...

...Parte de nuestros males proviene de que hay demasiados hombres vergonzosamente ricos o desesperadamente pobres. Hoy en día, por suerte, tiende a establecerse el equilibrio entre los dos extremos; las colosales fortunas de emperadores y libertos son cosa pasada; Trimalción y Nerón han muerto. Pero un inteligente reajuste económico del mundo está todavía por hacerse. Cuando subí al poder renuncié a las contribuciones voluntarias ofrecidas al emperador por las ciudades, y que no son más que un robo disfrazado. Te aconsejo que también renuncies a ellas cuando te llegue el día. La anulación completa de las deudas de los particulares al Estado era una medida más osada, pero igualmente necesaria para hacer tabla rasa después de diez años de economía de guerra. Nuestra moneda se ha devaluado peligrosamente a lo largo de un siglo, y sin embargo la eternidad de Roma está tasada por nuestras monedas de oro; preciso es, entonces, devolverles su valor y su peso, sólidamente respaldados en 2 las cosas. Nuestras tierras se cultivan al azar; tan sólo dos distritos privilegiados — Egipto, el África, la Toscana y algunos otros— han sabido crear comunidades campesinas que conocen a fondo el cultivo del trigo o de la vid. Una de mis preocupaciones consistía en sostener esa clase, que me proporcionaría instructores destinados a las poblaciones rurales más primitivas o más rutinarias. Acabé con el escándalo de las tierras dejadas en barbecho por los grandes propietarios indiferentes al bien...

...We hear that Kevin is studying at a grammar school, and he has problems in latin classes. His father is a barman, and as Kevins mother says, they never got the chance of going to school, but his father would certainly have passed it, but his mother probably wouldn’t. Kevins mother doesn’t seem to have a education, but she might have a job, but we doesn’t hear about that. The Sweenys is a not a wealthy family, but they’re not concerned about money, which mean that they aren’t poor, but it’s not possible to make more money than they currently are, so there is no need for concern. Money isn’t a subject of conversation at the Sweenys, it is a well functioning family. The boy and his father have a relationship which isn’t characterised by a paternal dominance, the way they talk to each other is reflecting that. Kevins father, whos name we doesen’t know, is a calm type and is pleasant for the boy and his brothers to be around, and they to admire him, as in when he gets home from work, sits in his chair and simply commands “Slippers”, and the boys come as faithful dogs, to take of his shoes and put on his slippers. His father helps him with some latin grammar, as he is in a hurry to get to work, and Kevin trusts his father with deep faith, so he is sure that it must be correct, but at school he is picked out by the strict and respect demanding teacher, Waldo. He slowly and reads up the latin grammar his father gave him, but they were all wrong. But Kevin shows that...

...MMLS NOTES: Possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns Introduction: Possessive pronouns are used to show ownership. They indicate who the owner of a certain thing is. Those Pronouns can accompany, describe and replace a noun. When they accompany and describe a noun they are also known as Possessive Adjectives. Example: • Mi coche es nuevo – My car is new (observe that “mi” accompanies and describes the noun “coche”) Possessive pronouns used after nouns can also be used alone, without the noun they’re referring to. When they replace the noun and are used alone, they are accompanied by definite articles (except if they come after verb to be) or by the neutral article and have masculine, feminine, singular and plural forms. Example: • Mi coche es nuevo. El tuyo es viejo – My car is new. Yours is old. (In the first sentence “mi” accompanies and describes the object “coche”. In the second sentence observe that “tuyo” is masculine, replaces the word “coche” and it is used along with the definite article “el”) Very important: Possessive adjectives agree in number with the possessed thing, not with the owner except for nosotros-a and vosotros-as which the possessive adjectives form agrees with the nouns in gender also. Observe the table. |Person |English |Possessive Adjectives-|Possessive Adjectives– Plural | | | |Singular...

...L’Erin Ferguson HITT1305 Lesson 1.1 1. Identify and define the four basic word parts and their purpose associated with medical terms. Give an example of each word part, a definition of each part and cite a medical term that demonstrates correct usage of the word part. In medical terminology there are four basic word parts. They are word root, prefix, suffix and combing vowel. While each has its own functions they come together to make an endless array of words to describe many different medical terms that are helpful for reporting and transcription purposes. Word roots will never change its meaning. The purpose of word roots help you to determine the origin or subject of that word making reference to it in regard to the medical term. The definition of a word root, is a word that does not have a prefix or a suffix and is determined as the base word. Some even refer to it as a stem word. For example, aden/o meaning gland used to make the word adenocarcinoma. Adecarcinoma means a malignant tumor formed from glandular structures in epithelial tissue. Prefixes begin at the being of a word and is often incorporated to change the meaning of that word .The definition of a prefix is an affix paced before the stem of a word. It can be a word, letter, or a number. The prefix ab which means “away from” added to oral produces the word aboral (away from mouth).In addition, a suffix is attached to the end of a word root. All medical terms has a suffix unless the word root creates a word...

...The native language of the Romans was Latin, an Italic language the grammar of which relies little on word order, conveying meaning through a system of affixes attached to word stems. Its alphabet was based on the Etruscan alphabet, which was in turn based on the Greek alphabet. Although surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin, an artificial and highly stylized and polished literary language from the 1st century BC, the spoken language of the Roman Empire was Vulgar Latin, which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar and vocabulary, and eventually in pronunciation. While Latin remained the main written language of the Roman Empire, Greek came to be the language spoken by the well-educated elite,...

...Vernacular Language in the 12th Century Michelle Hinton Lisa Feder 6/15/12 Abstract “Latin was the official language of law, government, business, education and religion in Western Europe” (http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied _history/tutor/endmiddle/langlit.html ) the universal catholic culture. The French would be the first to spread the Vernacular Language. The shift from Latin to Vernacular was very important. Throughout the former empire, languages started to develop and would become what we now know as Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, etc. They were known then in the beginning as Vernacular tongues. Christianity in all its form was in Latin only. The common people and even some of the elite could not speak or read Latin, there for the Vernacular Language became an alphabet and literature so the people could use the language they knew. Even though the Latin Language had begun to be translated to the Vernacular Language in the 10th Century amongst the Slavic Orthodox Christian community Latin was still the dominant language within the educated community, until the 12th century. (Sayer, 2010). The Vernacular Language was spoken in the streets, a language known as the (meaning “of the people”) (ucalgary). It was a way for different cultures to stabilize and bind there cultures together. Each city had their own Vernacular Language. In the 12th Century the French were amongst the first to spread the Vernacular Language in righting’s such as “the Song of...
