Response In the first part of the article the author discussed how Darwin viewed his religious life. At the time he wasn’t able to decline the church so he pretty much had to hide his doubts. 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,...

...How Latin Effected the Medieval times Lisa J. Schneider AIU Online Abstract Latin had a great effect on the world as it is today, but it all started around the twelfth century. Latin was a language that was used among people that were educated and throughout literature. It was the language used around the time of the Roman Empire, but started to fade after the Empire fell in 1200 A.D. How Latin Effected the Medieval times After the fall of the Roman Empire in 1200 A.D. the Latin language began to fade, and most of the other countries at this time went back to their vernacular language. At this time only the educated people and people throughout literature used this language. However soon after the fall of the Roman Empire the Latin language faded away slowly. Because of the fall of the Roman Empire along with the fade of the Latin Language, vernacular language became its replacement. French After Latin faded away as a language because of the Roman Empire falling, France became the first country to take on the vernacular language and roughly around the fourteenth century, vernacular works spread throughout Europe. The changes that arose presented an important change in the interest of courtly literature. This gave people a greater freedom of expression. This is seen in the poems of troubadours about courtly love. Christianity Christianity was easily spread using vernacular language, as the bible was already translated into the vernacular language in the...

...the language spread. Latin has significantly influenced the creation of the Spanish language as well as the development of many other Western languages. I will also discuss the ways in which Latin has influenced Western language development. History of Vernacular Language Spanish has one of the richest and longest histories of any of the world’s languages. It is the fourth most-spoken language in the world after Chinese, Hindi and English. Native Spanish speakers exist throughout Europe, the United States, Pacific Islands and Africa (Penny, 2002). Spanish originated on the Iberian Peninsula which is located in the southwestern region of Europe. The vernacular language was not originally known as Spanish, it was referred to as Vulgar Latin. The Celts were a nomadic tribe from central Europe who moved into the peninsula towards the end of the sixth century. The Celts mixed with the peninsula’s residents, the Iberians resulting in a new people known as the Celtiberians who spoke a form of the Celtic language. By the nineteenth century B.C.E., the region in southwestern Europe was known as Hispania and the inhabitants learned Latin from Roman settlers, traders and soldiers. Soon after the people in Hispania learned Latin, a new language was created as a mixture of the Celtiberians language and classical Latin (Penny, 2002). The new language became known as Vulgar Latin which developed into modern Spanish. Vulgar Latin was similar to classical Latin but implemented many...

...vernacular language should also not be understated as it was commissioned work to be written in or translated to vernacular language. By the fifteenth century, vernacular language was well established as the language of literature historical record and personal expression. However, vernacular language was often subject to standardization. It was possible to rise and spread because many people did not speak Latin, not even Noble men. Vernacular made it easier to convert people to Christianity. The desire is to spread Christianity. Women wanted take part in cultural debates and technology advance. The translation of the bible is vernacular language. Most of the vernacular languages branched off from Latin and depended on the social class. Latin was wide spread during the rise of the Roman Empire and was the main spoken and written language until the fall of the Roman Empire in 1200 A.D. Latin “allowed for people of diverse linguistic backgrounds to be able to communicate,” (Sayre). Latin also changed form over time depending on who was speaking or writing it (Sayre). Latin was more spread around upper classes and members of the clergy, not the general population. Once literacy started to spread among the general population, women became involved in learning to read and write. This included the poetry aspect of literature and romance during the middle Ages (Tillotson, 2005). The everyday language spoken by a people as distinguished from the literary language is called...

...How Does Medical Terminology Work? ________________________________________ Most medical terms can be broken down into one or more word parts. For simplicity in explanation, we will say that there are four possible word parts, and any given medical term may contain one, some, or all of these parts. We will classify these word parts as (1) roots, (2) prefixes, (3) suffixes, and (4) linking or combining vowels. An example of a word with three of the above parts is the medical term "pericarditis", which means "inflammation of the outer layer of the heart". Pericarditis can be divided into three parts: peri - card - itis. Once divided into its essential parts, pericarditis can be translated: the prefix "peri" translates to "surrounding", the root "card" translates to "heart", and the suffix "itis" translates to "inflammation". Hence, pericarditis is an inflammation of the area surrounding the heart, or an inflammation of the outer layer of the heart, anatomically known as the pericardium. Medical terms always consist of at least one "root", although they may contain more. The root of a word is that part which contains the essential meaning of the word. An example of this was seen above in the term "pericarditis". The root of the word - card - refers to the heart, so any prefix or suffix added to the root (card) will only function to add to the specificity of that word. An example of this would be the prefix "brady", which means "slow". If "brady" is added to the root "card"...

...Grammatically, the text shows examples of what a modern day audience would consider non-standard. However, to an 18th century audience, the grammar used is evidently standardised as there is clear pattern throughout. One example of how language has changed is through the implementation of standard capitalisation. Whilst it is now used for the onset of sentences and proper nouns, the text shows it being used for both proper and abstract nouns, an example of this being “Blow”, in the declarative, “having received a sever Blow”. The capitalisation here is used to add emphasis and focus the reader’s attention on the lexeme. The focus works as a persuasive device in Preston’s favour as it adds to the severity of the action, making him seem like the victim in the situation. This links to the mode of the text as it is a transcribed version of his spoken testimony, intended to persuade the reader of his innocence. A further grammatical change is the use of irregular past tense verbs. The newspaper article, written using a narrative style uses both directed and reported speech. Reported speech indicates that the author must be telling the story in past tense. However, the article states how “two soldiers were attacked and beat”. The past participle nowadays would be “beaten”, indicating how the standardisation of language has resulted in a change of suffix’s in order to indicate the tense. Furthermore, in terms of grammar, the article is written wholly using compound and complex sentence...
