De Bore’s book provides behind the scenes access to the ups and downs of shovel bums using a humorous tone. Without the first chapter, readers that are not necessarily members of the archeological community would find the book incoherent and uninteresting. The book is presented in an unconventional manner. The author does not present the stories in a sequential chronological order but rather categorizes the stories depending on the themes. Despite the lack of continuity and omissions, the book provides invaluable insight on the lives of shovel bums.
One of the most important questions to be asked in this story is whether or not Aaron Wechler sent the bomb to his former working place or not. There are several reasons to believe he did not. For instance, the declaration he gave the police was an exact paraphrase of what he read in the newspapers. This does point in the direction that Aaron did have nothing to do with the actual bombing. He also tells himself that he couldn’t have come up with such a brilliant scheme.
The prolonged failure of the excavation has even encroached upon the controversial topic of religion as extremist, biblical minimalist and legalistic Jewish scholars have abused this issue into debating the bible’s historical accuracy. In the midst of such chaos, Eliat Mazar conducted an extensive excavation outside the walls of Jerusalem and boldly claimed that she had discovered the remnants of David’s Palace as described in the bible. The ground breaking results of Mazar’s excavations rest on unorthodox perspective that transcends the frustration exhibited by traditional archaeology in its attempt to uncover David’s Palace. The phrase “Looking in the Wrong Place,” well summarizes the conventional method for excavation of the highly sought-after structure. By latching onto 2 Samuel 5:17, where it says that David “descended to the fortress,” Mazar concluded that the palace must have been north of the fortress, not south of the fortress.

In Ray Bradbury's short story "There will come Soft Rains" technology negatively influences society. Ray Bradbury demonstrates the technology can and will lead to war, pain, and laziness. To begin, mankind’s misuse of technology leads to their end. Humans were so thoughtless and selfish that they fought until "a radioactive glow could be seen for miles" (Bradbury 90). Mankind was consumed with technology they ended up not thinking of the damage they could cause with a nuclear war.
The ritualism of how we convict criminals usually does not help them in the long run; taking away their legitimate means for obtaining a job. The result is a rise of deviant subcultures. The bureaucratic rituals blind what is really at hand, “After the terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, the U.S. postal Service continued to help deliver mail addressed to Osama bin Laden”-(Groups and Organizations Chapter 5): The role of the criminal justice system is so concerned with its rituals, it would contradict its sole purpose, so it could carry
The death of Algernon took a huge toll on Charlie’s understanding of what could and might happen to him. When he realizes that the surgical procedure is flawed, he throws himself into his own personal research to discover the flaw due to two reasons. First, his intelligence has gotten to its peak, making him much smarter than Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur; he understands their own research to a greater depth than they understand themselves.

All the cultures were technologically stuck in the Stone Age,and ,combined with their lack of immunity to European diseases meant that these civilizations were overrun and conquered by Europeans. Columbus proved to the Europeans that the world was likely round and not flat. He didn't really prove that it was round, but his voyages increased the perceived likelihood that it was, and inspired other explorers who really did demonstrate that you could head west and end up east. That increased global trade significantly. It also increased global awareness of the other cultures that share this planet.
This led to millions of albums beings sold because people began to feed into the hype and joined in on the war. Their carelessness led to multiple people being killed including 2pac and Biggie. They clearly did not care about the message they were sending to the world and to the youth but rather how much money they could make, even at the expense of others. Secular rappers produce the vulgar and sexually explicit lyrics that they do because they know that today's youth are curious and that they are trying to quench their sinful desires.
