The Objectification of Women in the Things They Carried The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien is set in the Vietnam war, a historically male centered environment. O'Brien's narrative reflects this, as most of his main characters are men. Any direct dialogue from the war scene is relayed through men, and although he varies perspectives throughout the different stories, all of the various narratives are told from the male perspective.

Examine the language used by Turner. What does his use of such terms as “savagery” reveal about his social philosophy? The frontier thesis is the assertion that the American character, including such traits as democracy and materialism, derived from the frontier experience.
What if the Mongols had invaded Western Europe? If we look at Mongol invasions, by the 13th century they had already invaded much of Asia reaching all the way into Eastern Europe. Since the Mongols had superior military techniques, they could have had a chance to defeat Western Europe’s already fragmenting government. The founder of the Mongol empire, Genghis Khan, was a strong and powerful leader.
