Abstract
This paper explains that the Church led by Pope Gregory VII was very politically active in 11th century Europe: They ultimately had the power to exile an Emperor of an entire Empire. The author points out that this created a long time rivalry between the two powers, the sacred and the secular worlds. The paper concludes that, although his reforms had not gone 100% to plan, they put a system of ideas in place for which Pope Gregory VII must be well valued and respected because his expressions and ideas are still common place in today's society.
From the Paper
"Gregory felt that Emperors of the time were very deficient as rulers, for he felt they lacked the intelligence and common sense to rule an Empire. He felt because of family ties, and the inadequate father-son rulings that the rulers were corrupting society. For the most part he felt these rulers were very greedy and participated in very immoral behavior. He knew they were using their power to their advantage and felt it was not right. In the second letter to Hermann, Bishop of Metz he states: "what then will happen to those who have caused death to thousands of persons for the sake of the glory of this world? "

Abstract
This essay compares the Christian religion prior to and after the rise of Constantine from A.D. 50 to A.D. 100. The author examines the influence Constantine had on Christianity in forming a single unified Orthodox Roman Church.
From the Paper
"When Constantine the Great took the throne in A.D. 306, Christianity began to be more clearly adopted as the religion of the Roman imperial government. While a struggle for spiritual authority had been going on since the time of Jesus, it was from this official embrace of Constantine that the idea of forming a single, unified and orthodox Roman church began to develop."

The first section of the essay examines Gregory?s intellectual influences regarding his histories and his role as Bishop of Tours; the second section examines postmodern interpretations of Gregory as a bishop and as a historian; the third section examines the social history of Gregory?s time and how it affected his work, "The History of the Franks".
From the Paper
"Several schools of historiography may be examined to determine the historical significance of Gregory?s work, The History of the Franks. Most of the historiography dealing with Gregory?s work has been recorded in the twentieth century. Historians such as Walter Goffart, Lewis Thorpe, Patrick J. Geary, Kevin Knight, Jean-Jacques Ampere, Emil H. Walter, and M. L. W. Laistner are all influenced by, and critical of Gregory?s Histories. These historians all discuss Gregory?s writings in accordance with various schools of historical interpretation including intellectual history, postmodern history, and from a socialist historical perspective."

Abstract
This paper explains that Derek Gregory, in "The Colonial Present", spends much of the book describing the actions of Britain and the U.S. in trying to impose control over the peoples of the region. The author points out that former colonial regions of the world are virtually all encumbered today by tensions and state failures because of the condition these regions were left in when the colonial powers withdrew. The paper states that the Middle East, which has been of strategic importance to both countries for some time, often served as a staging ground for conflicts with the Soviet Union; however, the way the West has related to the Middle East has changed since 9-11. The author criticizes that Gregory, a geographer, does not delve deeply into the internal divisions now causing the factional war in Iraq.
From the Paper
"Many of the states in the Middle East are marked by repressive policies, violations of human rights, and non-democratic cultures. The irony is that most of these regimes were set up or propped up by Britain, France, and the United States in decades past, a fact which Gregory says means that the U.S. and the other nations area not innocent, which also helps explain the anger now directed at the West by the Arab world. Gregory notes how many people are asking questions about the guilt of the West and the response of the Middle East, and he says he does not intend to decide which view is correct but only to note the dichotomy they produce."

From the Paper

Gregory Hines was not only a superb dancer, actor, director, and choreographer, but was also a major figure in the revitalization of tap dancing in the late 20th century, in America ("Hines, Gregory"). He was "noted for his virtuosity, rhythm, and expressive style, and was credited with having modernized the form and facilitated its return to motion pictures" ("Hines, Gregory Oliver").

The first part of the film takes place in the tiny village of San Pedro in Guatemala. Enrique and Rosa are two young Indian ... "

During the era described by Gregory of Tours, the church was in the process of establishing itself in Europe and was working on guiding the people and their leaders slowly away from the pagan ideologies that had prevailed to that time. Religion is a major theme in the book by Gregory, which is not surprising since he himself was a cleric and would become a bishop. He notes how the Christians were persecuted by the Vandals and others: "At this period the churches of God were assailed with..."

Origen and Gregory Of Nyssa, 1995.
Discusses the major theological views of these early Christian writers.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"This paper is a study of two writers who helped to lay the groundwork for Christian theology. The first, Origen, was one of the most influential early writers on the meaning of the scriptures and the basic underpinnings of Christian thought. He wrote at the time when Christianity itself was just beginning to take hold throughout the Roman empire. Fighting against paganism and Judaic traditions, followers of this new religion were also struggling with fundamental questions, and Origen's clearly thought-out answers bridged the gap between the old and the new. His thinking continues to influence modern theologians, especially regarding the nature of evil, sin, and free will. A hundred years later, Christianity had come to dominate the empire, and Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, elaborated on Origen's seminal writing on these subjects. A sampling of these two ..."

From the Paper
" The issue of military spending and the size and power of the military-industrial complex has been argued heatedly for decades, but the discussion has shifted decidedly in favor of down-sizing the military and reducing military-oriented spending significantly since the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the breakup of the Eastern bloc. The end of the Cold War has given impetus to efforts at reducing military expenditures across the board. Ever since World War II, the size of the military budget has been tied to fears of Communist aggression and the perception that the Communist nations were intent on spreading their ideology to every other nation of the world. The disintegration of the Soviet empire has not removed all of the threats from the world stage, and indeed that disintegration has itself created new tensions in some parts of the world as ethnic groups long.."

From the Paper
"In the film El Norte (Gregory Nava, 1983), the disparity in economic strength between two regions contributes to an ongoing flow of immigrants from Guatemala to the north, with Los Angeles being a preferred destination for those seeking economic advantage and a degree of political freedom. The people making this journey also find themselves moving from a traditional society, closely-knit and centered on community, to a major industrial city with different values and a shifting community structure. These immigrants leave Guatemala because of exploitation and find a different sort of exploitation in their new home.
There is a great contrast between the world from which these Guatemalan peasants come and the world to which they aspire. They come from villages in Guatemala where people pursue a.."
