Revealing Marx
.... a labourer. This process is
thoroughly explained throughout Estranged Labour. This study will reveal this
process and argue it's validity. Appendant to this study on alienation there
will be a micro-study which will attempt to ascertain Marx's view of freedom
(i.e. positive or negative). The study on alienation in conjunction with the
micro-study on Marx's view of freedom will help not only reveal why Marx feels
labour limits mans freedom, but it will also identify exactly what kind of
freedom is being limited. Estranged Labour
Karl Marx identifies estranged labour as labour alien to man. Marx explains the
condition of estrang .....

Richard M. Nixon
.... Then, on January 9, 1913, Richard Milhous Nixon was
born in that very house. Hannah and Frank would have three more children: Donald
(born in 1914), Arthur (born in 1918), and Edward (born in 1930).
The Nixon family lived on the edge of poverty. The lemon ranch didn't
make enough money to provide for the family of seven, so Frank started doing odd
jobs (namely building houses) AND ran the lemon ranch to provide for his family.
In 1922, the Nixon's moved back to Whittier, and things took a turn for the
better. Frank bought a plot of land and built a gas station and a general store
on it. Business was good, but it took much wo .....

Rush Limbaugh
.... work at several
different stations, none of which were getting him anywhere. During one of his
first radio jobs Rush went by the name Jeff Christie while working for KQV in
Pittsburgh. He was fired by a man named Jim Carnegie, who now says that he was
instructed to fire him, but as soon as Jim got his next job, he hired Rush again.
At the age of 28 Rush took a job organizing community events for the Kansas
City Royals. This paid him $18,000 a year. Rush spent five unfulfilling years
with the Royals. “No fault of people at the Royals,” Limbaugh told Talkers, a
radio-industry magazine several years ago. “I was just doing the w .....

A Martyr's Victory In A Spiritual Sense
.... the virtue
of fortitude, by not leaving the war-torn country and staying to try to pursue
good.
During this time of war, many would wonder what was the reason for him
to stay in China, and what was his why to live? In the Novel A Mans Search For
Meaning, Nietzsche says "he who has a why to live can bear with almost any
how". If Ford had left the country during the time of war, there would have
probably been no hope for the war refugees that didn't have the option to stay
or go. His why to live was not to save himself, but to save others. In the
Novel Frankl describes the human person as a meaning maker, who has the .....

Saint Bernadette Soubirous
.... to remain
there rent-free. Each evening, the family gathered around the old fireplace for
family prayers. This concluded with the recitation of the Rosary - often led by
one of the Soubirous girls, Bernadette.
BERNADETTE
The marriage of Francois Soubirous and Louise Casterot produced six children.
The eldest of these was Bernadette. She was born on 7th January 1844, and was

by the diminutive form of the name, Bernadette. Six months later, .....

Saint Francis Of Assissi
.... a
century and a half later, or in the Summa Theologiae of Thomas Aquinas.
Bernardone was not in Assisi when his son was born. At first the child was
called John but upon his father's return he was christened Francis, in memory of
France, whence Pietro di Bernardone had just returned. More than any other
character in history, St. Francis in after life retained the qualities most
characteristic of childhood, so that it is not difficult to imagine him as he
must have appeared during his early years, with his combination of vivacity,
petulance and charm.
Childhood
At the proper time young Francesco Benardone was sent to cle .....

the predicament he was in. David summoned Bathsheba's husband Uriah back from
battle. He told Uriah to go lay with his wife for the night, but Uriah was loyal
to King David and would not leave the King's side. That night Uriah slept with

The Unjust Execution Of Socrates
.... private and intimate thoughts of Gods. Socrates also states
that he is not a teacher, however he was not at all happy with the analogy, but
took it as a compliment and used it in his defense. He used these accusations
to his advantage by saying that he never charged charged anyone for believing or
listening to them. The combination of these arguments should have cleared
Socrates of the charge of heresy.
The second charge brought against Socrates was that of corrupting minors.
Socrates battled this charge through the use of the same arguments. The
argument that he did not consider himself a teacher, the fact that he never

Tiberius Claudius Nero Caesar

Germany. On his return to Rome he was awarded a triumph, the highest official
tribute that was given to honor a victorious warrior.
Augustus died in AD 14 and Tuberius assumed sole power of the whole
Roman empire. Tiberius was a large, strong man, and very tall. He had a fair
skin complexion that was sometimes subjected to outbreaks of skin disease.
According to Suetonius, he wore his hair long in the back. This was an old
fashioned style for the time. Perhaps it was adopted in memory of his
distinguished ancestry. Tiberius remained in excellent health most of h .....
