    The Spaniard civilization can date all the way back to the Stone Age. Because of its agricultural wealth, Spain was acknowledged to have people occupy its land approximately 32,000 years ago. In A.D. 409, Spain was overrun by German invaders, but they were later forced out of the country and into Africa by a group called the Visigoths. The Visigoths, however, would soon lose control over Spain from a battle lost by the Byzantine Empire in 507. By 585, they would regain control over Spain and lived side by side under two separate laws between themselves and the Spaniards. In 711, North African Moors sailed across the straits, swept into Andalusia, and within a few years, pushed the Visigoths up the peninsula to the Cantabrian Mountains.

Cephalus says that old age is really not as bad as people say it is; if you're a moderate and contented person, your virtue makes old age pleasant. Socrates notes that some would say that it is Cephalus' wealth that makes old age bearable for him. Cephalus says that this is not true, wealth can help someone be virtuous, but it isn't the deciding factor. Cephalus defines just behavior as paying one's debts and speaking truthfully, and notes that wealth does help in these things.

    “ The Big Little City,” also commonly know as the city of Pittsburgh, is one of the largest cites in the state of Pennsylvania. With over 144 square kilometers of land area, and approximately seven square kilometers of surface water (Pittsburgh Pennsylvania), the city of Pittsburgh is large by anyone’s standard. The city, which is located in western Pennsylvania, has a very diverse geography which sets it apart from many other cities in the United States. Pittsburgh and its suburbs are known for steep hillsides covered with buildings, streets which have steps for sidewalks, and sidewalks which are named streets. From the highest point in Allegheny County, 1,401 feet at River Hill in Forward Township, to the 710 foot normal pool level of the Ohio River at the Point in Pittsburgh, and down to the 682 foot elevation on the banks of the Ohio as it exits the County in the west, the elevation varies by a bit more than 700 feet (Allegheny). Other locations may have greater relief, but they are not as heavily urbanized; other cities may be more densely built, but they will tend to be on gentler terrain than the city of Pittsburgh.

  • The Past and The Future of Spain

    828 Words  | 2 Pages

    The country I chose to write my paper on is Spain. The capital of Spain is Madrid, and is located right in the center of Spain. Other major cities include Barcelona, Bilbao, Malagá, Sevilla, Valencià, and Zaragoza. Spain is part of the European Union, so the citizens of Spain can travel to other countries in the European Union with less documentation. The Spanish currency is the Euro, and some of their natural resources include copper, coal, iron rod, and uranium. Spain is a democratic state that follows a Constitutional Monarchy, which means that the written constitution limits the power of the monarchy, and power is shared between the monarchy and a elected branch of government. An interesting fact about Spain is that not only do they have a Parliamentary Government they have Royal Monarch as well. The current Prime Minister of Spain is Mariano Rajoy, and the King of Spain is Juan Carlos I.
