Name: Paradice Date: Founded in Age 1850 Description: Paradice is Booga's third largest continent, located in the western hemisphere, mostly in the southern hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the northern hemisphere. It is surrounded by Empire State (North), Empire Ocean (West), Rim Ocean and Shina Ania (East) and Constringitur (South). The Southern sections of Paradice are warm to cold, while far northeastern areas are very cold more often than not. The continent, which has long been home to the development of Magic by Humans, if often compare to Empire State in a historical and cultural construct to showcase the clear differences between the two. History It was around Crisis Era Year 40, that the first group humans that departed from Shina Ania, arrived in this mysterious continent. When they arrived, they found that it had plenty of natural resources. Thus, settlement was not difficult and able to flourish as a society. Their goal was to gain information and reported back to people in Shina Ania and give Suyoi further place to explore. However, Lucifer's 50 Year War had erupted, throwing the plan off course. The war resulted Demons from the Under World to escape and invade Planet Booga, causing destruction on the planet …show more content…
alike. However, despite the war being over and the Reaper Guild captured most of the demons, demons still roam the earth due to taking accustomed to the planet. However, they wanted to drive humans to extinction and take over the world for themselves. Thus the bitter tension begun between Humans and Demons. The first of these conflict on the continent erupted in Age 150, referred as the "Land War" that lasted about 25 years. At the end, it ended as a stalemate and lead to a temporary truce. The Natural Resources on Paradice had some effect on the Demons. The environment, the plant life and the overall atmosphere drawn the Deimos than any continent. Thus in Age 175 the agreement was that, if human s and demons were to lived together, they would agree for peace and live in harmony as long they share the resources equally. However, peace did not last long. Only after 5 years, in Age 180, the Demons and Humans broke into a war, due to the accusation of one other of stealing the goods from one another. However, due to the second industrial revolution occurring a few years prior, it gave humans an edge to force the demons to submit and flee the region. As the demons were driven off the region, humans began to expand through the entirely of Paradice, becoming a stable civilization.
However, unlike Shina Ania, there was no monarchy, but rather adhere to a democratic government. Without any form of wars, aside from occasional monsters and demons appearing in Paradice, it was relatively peaceful. Until Year 814. The Demons they have encountered before had change greatly. They are now referred as Deimos due to the sheer differences between the two. Deimos, coming from Deimos Valley, has wage a full scale invasion, with their new secret arts, magic, that even their technology is able to countered. Thus, lead to a thousand years war where Deimos was practically dominated the
region. Magic has always existed, but it was never tapped beforehand. Deimos are the first users of magic and became valuable against humans. Leader of Deimos Valley, urges that the land is simply too small to contain all the deimos and have to expand. With their all mighty magic, they're able to repel Humans and their technology and regain control of Paradice and eventually, Empire. Magic has existed for thousands of years on Planet Booga, but it was never tapped into the usage of tackling their enemies; however, the first users of magic was brought upon the Deimos from the Deimos Valley, who cast their enemies and bathe in the blood in battle, making the weapons built by man worthless in battle. This causes constant invasion and raid in the Paradice Region. Over time, there was developed of the few humans that was able document and study the "foundation" of magic used by the Deimos. This was the beginning to defend the region against the invaders and-overtime, grew to significant numbers of human beings capable of using the arts of magic - they were known as "Mages". Yet, as time passes, greed grew within the hearts of the those significant amount of people. As people beg, cry and willingly to give up their valuables to repel the Deimos from their lands, the Mages began to use the chance to gain their fortune. If one was able to pay up, they will stop the Deimos from coming into their land. If not, then they will simply pass by until they developed enough funds for their services. This created a rift between on whether or not "Magic can be trusted". For hundreds of years, on top of Deimos constantly attacking, the Mages were robbing the people of the region from their worth. Thus, it sparked the rebellion against Magical beings - and serves of the first "Witch Hunt", leading to the deaths of many that practice the arts of magic. Paradice Region was on it's road to destruction due to destruction, corruption and greed. One day, there was a man, thought to be the destroyer of worlds due to being a child of that of a human and a "devil", step into the stage between the border state of the Paradice Region on a mountain that can reach the heavens. What he called was nothing more than a state of bloody violence between humans and makes, humans and Deimos and the cries of those who were caught in-between. With a stroke of his beard, the man raises his hand over the horizon and cast a spell that no-one-ever-knew. With a snap of his fingers, the energy radiating from his palm beam across the skies: It forces the Deimos to flee from the region. It took away the those that were capable of wielding magic and struck eternal damnation to those using it for malicious efforts. As people turn their heads to the mysterious bearded man-he spoke: "Magic shouldn't be the tool for destruction and bloody violence. It shall be the tool to express the understanding and capability of ourselves-and-Mother Booga, for thy provided us the stimulus to protect her from the destruction that come from unruly forces-and from our hands." The powerful words swirls upon the population. Before, they were seconds away from painting the landscape with the colors of their bloods, but now? They turned to each other in agreement and understanding. The vast power of a single man have done, was enough to convince to seek for a better future. Thus, lead to the development of the Paradice Region, truly begun. The interest in magic soon became favorable- people flock from left and right in attempts to become students of this man, whom the people dubbed him as "Merlin". With another stoke of his legendary beard, Merlin happily agrees to handle his teachings of magic upon the people and founded an academy called "The International Society of Magic". This truly opens the doors for humanity and magic to be fully connected with one another. Eventually, this leads to new types of magic, of being developed and gain world-wide interest across the world. Merlin rejected the notation that magic should be an "exclusive" thing to a single species and praise that Mother Booga loves all creatures on the planet and wished to spread the knowledge to far and wide. Thus, Paradice Region became the epicenter of Magic and peoples around the world traveled in order to become Magicians or truly expanded their abilities. The sheer number of people, number of different kinds of magic and the site was so large, that Merlin decided to split the International Society of Magic into Two Factions: The Brotherhood of Black Magic Society and The Sisterhood of White Magic Society. From there, The Merlin picked out his best students capable of leading the two factions into greater prosperity- Doctor Strange for Brotherhood of Black Magic and Usagi Tsukino for Sisterhood of White Magic. Felt that his goal was accomplished after all these years, he had passed on and supposedly ascended into the higher plane of existence. Since then, the sheer popularity of Magic on Booga will continue into the today's times. Doctor Strange and Usagi Tsukino, similar to Merlin, have both ascended to the higher plane of existence and left their positions that they chose to be the best capable for the job.

Prior to the advent of Greek navies, Thucydides claims that “wars by land there were none, none at least by which power was acquired; we have the usual border contests, but of distant expeditions with conquest the object we hear nothing among the Hellenes” (I.15.2).... ... middle of paper ... ... The privations and suffering war forces people to turn their attention to themselves and lose sight of the good of their city, just as Pericles predicted it would, and without a leader like him willing to direct them away from this mindset rather than pander to it to get votes, the political constitution of the city was doomed to dissolve.
It is surprising indeed that Even today, tyrannies and dictatorships exist in the world when more than two and a half thousand years ago the ancient Athenians had developed a functional and direct form of democracy. What contributed to this remarkable achievement and how it changed the socio-political. scene in Athens is what will be considered in this paper. The paper will have three sections, each detailing the various stages. of political development from the kings of Attica to the time of Pericles when, in its golden age, Athens was at the height of its. imperial power.
Jonathan Rauch’s essay “In Defense of Prejudice” essay immediately stood out to me for a few reasons. As a black Muslim woman living in America, I’ve dealt with my fair share of prejudice and for that I’ve always had a negative view towards it. Also, I found the title to be striking and unconventional which automatically drew me towards it. In “In Defense of Prejudice”, Rauch makes it clear that while he is not in favor of prejudice, he is in favor of allowing people to express their prejudice as openly and freely as they choose to. He takes a somewhat controversial stance with his belief that banning hate speech actually goes against freedom of speech and that eradicating prejudice should not be the goal of Americans, but to use prejudice

Prejudice: is an unjustified or incorrect attitude (usually negative) towards an individual based solely on the individual’s membership of a social group, for example a person may hold prejudiced views towards a certain race or gender. A prejudiced person may not act on their attitude. So that means someone can be prejudice towards a certain group but not discrimate against them, an example of this was in the scene when the couple was walking down the street and as the two black man walked towards them she clinched her purse and held her husband even tighter. She judged them without even knowing what their intentions were. The interesting part was she was right and they need up carjacking them
David Guterson depicts real-life prejudice during World War II in his fictional novel Snow Falling on Cedars. During World War II, prejudice towards the Japanese was strong. Japan had attacked America, and because they had attacked us that meant that every Japanese person was responsible in some way. Similarly, in the novel, Kabuo Miyamoto was blamed for committing the murder of Carl Heine because of his race rather than facts. The white people were eager and willing to point their fingers at the Japanese because it was easy for them to do so during this time period.
In the years following the Persian Wars in 479 B.C., Athens had come out on top being the most dominantly powerful of any Greek city with a navy that had superior strength that increased day by day. The Athenians “ruled with heavy-handed, even brutal force as well as with reason” (Kagan 2). This was due largely to the fact that Athens had a stable and effective government, which only increased their advantage in proving themselv...
America has always struggled with discrimination and prejudice throughout its history. On July 2nd, 1964 the United States took a step in the right direction, when it recognized the principle that all men are created equal with the passage of the Civil Rights Act. The Act outlawed all discrimination formed on the basis of race, religious affiliation, gender or ethnic origin. In addition, it ended racial segregation in educational institutions and in the workplace. However, it can be argued that discrimination and prejudice remain today. America has attempted to stop this by instituting anti-discrimination laws, however the laws can only do so much.
For example, the Persian Wars sent the Assembly into downward spiral of chaos, restored only after Greek victory. The institution of new rulers, city-states, and alliances such as the Delian League have fluctuated the very foundation of democracy. Despite how effective it was, politics were still biased. In an act of hostility, Athenians turned against Themistocles because he became “too powerful.” According to episode two of “The Ancient Greeks: The Crucible of Civilization,” Athenian government could “turn its back on anyone, even its greatest war hero.” Democracy also faced uproar once again following Pericles death, who single-handedly supported the system. This chaos, as mentioned in the third episode, crippled the Athens from fighting in t the Peloponnesian war. Because of this, the Athens faced a humiliating defeat against Sparta, their militarily advanced
Why does racism exist? Who created it? In the society we live today, discrimination and racism occur everyday, yet nothing is being done to stop it. Being an Asian-American living in a predominantly white society, I have encountered racial stereotypes directed towards me not just from friends, but strangers as well. Are you good at math? Do you eat rice? These are just a few questions that I have been asked regarding my race and the stereotypes that surround it.
they still tend to go along with - ie conform to - the social norms
According to history, the migration of the first humans into what is called Near Oceania began around 40,000 years ago and over time produced considerable cultural, linguistic, and genetic diversity in Oceania and Polynesia. There were no original inhabitants, it was bare land.
Racial prejudice was blatantly displayed in the form of slavery 150 years ago. These negative racial attitudes were still obvious over 50 years ago when black Americans were discriminated against by the act of segregation. Prejudices toward black Americans may not be as evident as they were then, but they still occur. Prejudices present themselves in a fashion where black children are aware of them and begin to hold their own. Racial prejudice contributes to discrimination and impacts the perceptions held by black youth and their self-image.
Religious prejudice is defined as the act of treating a person or group differently because of what they do or do not believe in. There are many cases throughout history of established religions tolerating other practices. Specifically, religious prejudice is when believers of different religions are treated unequally, either before the law or in institutional settings such as employment or housing. Even in societies where freedom of religion is a constitutional right, sometimes supporters of religious minorities voice concerns about religious prejudice against their group. Cases that are perceived as religious discrimination might be the result of an interference of the religious sphere with other spheres of the public. For a religious establishment to mistreat other religions for being ‘wrong’ ironically puts the oppressing religion in the wrong, undermining its own validity. Religious intolerance is unacceptable in general and more specifically, in the Holocaust and simply the idea that started the Holocaust. People have an inherent right to express their beliefs and not to be treated indignantly and inhumanely based on those beliefs.
