They are probably the most important document in understanding history. Without writing we would have a difficult time understanding archeological data. Also journals give great detail about wars and other major conflicts that would otherwise be unknown to historians.

Should religious belief influence law,five paragraph argument.
konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

Whatever we make of the substance of Judge Andrew Rutherford's ruling in the Cornish private hotel case, his citation of a striking and controversial opinion by Lord Justice Laws – delivered in another religious freedom case in 2010 – is worth pausing over. The owners of the Chymorvah hotel were found to have discriminated against a gay couple by refusing them a double-bedded room. They had appealed to their right to manifest their religious belief by running their hotel according to Christian moral standards. Given the drift of recent legal judgments in cases where equality rights are thought to clash with religious freedom rights, it is no surprise that the gay couple won their case.

But quite apart from the merits of the case, judges should be warned off any future reliance on the ill-considered opinions about law and religion ventured last year by Lord Justice Laws. Laws rightly asserted that no law can justify itself purely on the basis of the authority of any religion or belief system: "The precepts of any one religion – any belief system – cannot, by force of their religious origins, sound any louder in the general law than the precepts of any other."

A sound basis for this view is Locke's terse principle, in his Letter on Toleration, that "neither the right nor the art of ruling does necessarily carry with it the certain knowledge of other things; and least of all the true religion".

But Laws seemed to ground the principle instead on two problematic and potentially discriminatory claims. One is that the state can only justify a law on the grounds that it can be seen rationally and objectively to advance the general good (I paraphrase). The question is, seen by whom? What counts as rational, objective and publicly beneficial is not at all self-evident but deeply contested, determined in the cut and thrust of democratic debate and certainly not by the subjective views of individual judges. Religiously inspired political views – such as those driving the US civil rights movement of the 1960s or the Burmese Buddhists today – have as much right to enter that contest as any others. In this sense law can quite legitimately be influenced by religion.

Laws' other claim is that religious belief is, for all except the holder, "incommunicable by any kind of proof or evidence", and that the truth of it "lies only in the heart of the believer". But many non-Christians, for example, recognise that at least some of the claims of Christianity – historical ones, no doubt, or claims about universal moral values – are capable of successful communication to and critical assessment by others. Laws' assertion is also inconsistent with his own Anglican tradition, in which authority has never been seen as based on the subjective opinions of the individual but rather on the claims of "scripture, tradition and reason" acting in concert.

How do the formal properties of Poe’s poem (rhythm, meter, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, repetition) relate to the poem’s mean
zhuklara [117]

"The Raven" is a poem by American author Edgar Allan Poe. The poem was published in 1845, and became an instant sensation due to its many striking characteristics.

The poem employs rhyme in a way that provides an extremely musical tone to the work. Moreover, the language is vivid and stylized, and Poe employs imagery that creates a supernatural atmosphere. This allows the many devices employed (alliteration, assonance, repetition, etc.) to contribute to the meaning of the poem.

Moreover, "The Raven" reflects many of the common topics of the time. The death of beautiful women due to consumption is a common theme during this time period. The poem appeals both to ideas of the Romantic, as well as to the culture of mourning that developed around such deaths. In the poem, a young student receives the visit of a raven, which keeps reminding him of the recent death of his girlfriend. The poem traces the man's descent into madness. The development of the poem and the ideas that Poe had about it are explained carefully in his text "The Philosophy of Composition."
