Edmund Burke and Abbé Sieyés: A Political Contrast

France in the late 1700s was in a time of turmoil. The institutions of the old regime were failing and new, seemingly radical institutions were put in its place. This sudden and radical change sent shockwaves throughout Europe. Could the ways of old be replaced by this new republican form of government? That is the question many statesmen such as Edmund Burke and Abbé Sieyés had to ask themselves. Sieyés and Burke differed ideologically in many ways. Burke was a conservative and Sieyés was a liberal. However, just as in modern politics, they both had the same goal in mind; a better government for France.

Nature's Peaceful World of Wonders

Not too long ago I found something that would change the way that I thought about this campus. It was the first Sunday of college. The air was cooling as the sun slowly crept behind the horizon to visit her friends on the other side of the globe. I was slowly walking through campus letting my curiosity lead me to whatever adventure lay ahead. If only I had known what I was about to find, I might have walked a little faster.

The 60s and 70s Decades

The person whom I interviewed was Bethel Hart, my grandmother. She is about 65-years-old and has lived in Winchester, Tennessee for all of her life. When I asked Granny Hart if she would mind getting interviewed she said that I should interview someone else because she wouldn’t remember anything. I told her that was the exact reason I was interviewing her. Last time when I interviewed Granddad Arnold he remembered too much and I had to do allot of writing. I didn’t feel like writing that much this time.

The Autobiography of Michael Arnold

On December 1, 1983, an amazing event happened; an event that would someday affect the outcome of this world. This event, or rather a miracle, was me, Michael Wayne Arnold.

I was born to two loving parents, Joy and Ken, in the Republic of Panama. My parents were living there because my father was in the US Army and we were stationed there. After I was born we stayed in Panama for about another six months. In the summer of 1984 my mother, father, and I were racing into a plane so that we could get out of a tropical paradise gone bad. A few hours and airports later we were at or new home, Fort Benning, Georgia. We would live at Fort Benning for about a year and two months. During this time I would learn to talk, walk, eat with utensils, and many other things that new babies learn. From Fort Benning we moved to Fort Cambell, Kentucky. For Cambell is where my younger brother Matthew was born on November 14, 1986. From this dat on my life would be completely changed. I was no longer an only child; I would have to learn what it means to be a big brother. After about three years of living in Kentucky we moved to my mother’s hometown of Winchester, Tennessee. We moved to Winchester for two reasons. The first reason was that my mother was pregnant with the third and last addition to the Arnold family. Secondly, my father was going to California to learn a different language, Dutch, so that he could become a foreign area officer. On September 17, 1988, a month after my dad left, Jason was born. After about only nine months we moved once again; ironically, we moved back to Fort Benning, Georgia where it all began some eight years earlier. Fort Benning is where I would start something that would take a lifetime to complete, my education.
