Abstract
This paper will compare and contrast Greek mythos of creation along with the Biblical one. By analyzing the elements that seem to make them connected, yet different, we can see the nature of the ideas that both seem to have in their philosophy. The idea will be to tell how the Earth elements and human traits were formed in relation to each other.

Abstract
The paper takes the position that political acts are those that adjust the structure of a community and that God's creations directly modified existing natural orders which made them inherently political acts.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the charge that superhero comic books are invariably sexist in their production and speak to deep-seated and traditional gender stereotypes. Historically, the writer argues that this has been almost exclusively the case, with some notable, if controversial, exceptions such as Wonder Woman. However, content analysis of three works by Alan Moore, 'Watchmen', 'Tom Strong' and 'Top 10', illustrate that it is possible to appropriate the traditionally sexist imagery of the superhero genre and utilize it to call attention to the gender stereotypes that permeate much of the comic book industry. The writer notes that Moore's work has progressively satirized tropes in the superhero genre and have helped, inadvertently or not, through satire to call attention to the wealth of sexism apparent in portrayals of women in comics. The writer maintains that the implication of this hypothesis is that there may be an emerging trend toward the dissolution of traditional gender stereotypes in comic books.

Findings, Discussion, and Conclusion

From the Paper
"Content analysis is the approach by which one examines a particular cultural text, and critically examines it to unearth specific socio-cultural trends and realities. Some might question this as a viable research method. After all, how useful is a critical analysis of comic books, when one is talking about a pervasive problem such as sexism? How can content analyses of popular movies add anything pertinent to contemporary discussions of poverty in Western nations?"
"The reality is, however, that cultural productions--such as novels, movies, and even comic books--can be powerful, if unintentional portals into the manifestations of cultural trends. Culture and society is really little more than the way in which people interact with one another and the artifacts that they create in the process. These artifacts might be songs or books or movies or ephemeral speeches and behaviors. But what they all share in common is an innate reflection of the socio-cultural trends and attitudes possessed by their creators or society at large. In other words, targeted content analysis of items such as comic books can reveal important information about the attitudes and beliefs of the society in which those particular artifacts were created."

Abstract
"M. Butterfly" deconstructs Western stereotypes of the East and the women of the East. It reveals the multiplicity of individual relationships and their meanings in social and political contexts. Within the duality of masculinity-femininity and West-East, the play brings forth the aspects of power embedded in Western stereotypes of the femininity of the East, which is comparable to the power involved in political imperialism. With the deconstruction of the stereotypes and reversal of the duality, the play leads the audience to new political consciousness and look at the Western as well as Eastern stereotypes critically.

Abstract
This article offers a discussion of the two creation stories in the Genesis book of the Bible. In this paper, the writer compares and contrasts the two versions. The writer discusses their similarity to creation stories of other religions. The writer examines the two varying creation myths and attempts to identify reasons for the different creation stories appearing in the same source.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to compare and contrast the two creation stories that appear in the book of Genesis. The plan of the research is to set forth the basic components of each of the stories and then discuss ways in which the pattern of ideas contained in each resonates with the other, with a view toward identifying reasons grounded in theology for which two disparate creation myths might be deliberately included in a single scripture source. Anybody who does not have a religious background ... "

Abstract
This paper considers two creation stories that appear in the Bible, suggesting reasons for them. According to the paper, one theory suggests that the verses have different authors and different time order of creation. Another theory sees one creation story as having a different use of language reflecting more of a social paradigm than a physical paradigm. A careful study of the first two chapters in Genesis including linguistics will show that the first theory is not true, while the second theory can be justified.

From the Paper
"Does the Bible contradict itself with the accounts of creation? Why are the two different descriptions of creation different? These are questions that people continue to ask because the Scriptures appear to be confusing. Different theories have been created to explain the Scriptures in Genesis 1:1-2:3 and Genesis 2:4-25. Two theories of these Bible verses are that the verses have different authors and different time order of creation, and secondly, one creation story has different use of language reflecting more of a social paradigm than a physical paradigm. A careful study of the first two chapters in Genesis including linguistics will show that the..."

Abstract
This essay describes the mythology of creation and its lineage of being passed down over generations. The writer presents various myths over the centuries and discusses their meaning with symbolism and metaphor. Some myths the writer uses are from the Zuni tribe, early Chinese cultures and also some baBylonian myths. In the end, the paper concludes that all myths essentially tell the same tale and that the basic purpose of mythology is to explain the creation of the cosmos and the maintenance of a social order.

From the Paper
"Perhaps it is more imperative that the world be organized in a way that can be universally explained that drives the power of comparative myth. It is this very similarity
and thematic commonality that not only poses questions, but proves, in some small way, of the universality of human though patterns, of the way humanity structures its idea of the universe, and of the cross cultural importance of a shared set of basic beliefs. Three of the most interesting creation myths; one from the Zuni tribe in North America, one from China, and one from the very heart of Middle Eastern Civilization, Mesopotamia, show interesting commonalties and perceptions about humanity.
"The Enuma Elis is the Sumerian/Babylonia creation myth. Rather than simply an oral tradition, the Enuma Elis was recovered in 1849 from the Mosul, Iraq area, on seven clay tablets, no all of which have been recovered and translated. It is one of the seminal studies for understanding the early Mesopotamian worldview, which was centered on the supremacy of the Gods, and the creation of man to serve those Gods. However, modern scholarship holds that rather than being a sole exposition of the power of a certain religion or philosophy, the primary purpose was to unify the city-states into a nation in which the chief god, Marduk, became the prime God of the culture (Dalley, 2009)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer firstly defines creationism as a system of belief that maintains that humans, the earth, and the universe were created by a supreme being or deity. The writer explains that creationists believe in a god who is absolute creator of heaven and earth, out of nothing, by an act of free will. The writer then examines the history of creationism.

From the Paper
"Creationism is generally defined as a belief system which holds that human beings, the earth, and the universe were created by a supreme being or deity, either ex nihilo or from preexisting chaos. Many Creationists consider their beliefs to be compatible with science, explain that certain scriptural accounts of creation should be interpreted as metaphors, or believe that scientific laws and mechanisms were created by supernatural intervention."

Abstract
This paper attempts to discuss, in a non-judging manner, creationism and evolutionary thought. The paper reviews the theory and scientific facts of evolution. Then the paper extrapolates on the creationists' theory of Intelligent Design.

From the Paper
"As humankind continues to move forward into the future, it also searches the past to reveal what the past can teach it in an effort to understand where life-kind as a whole is going. In some cases people..."
