I agree and disagree on certain points here. Firstly it's not just knowledge that we use to survive but more so the knowledge we use to manipulate the environment around us. With out the ability to manipulate the environment in which we live we make it easy for other life forms to control us and manipulate us into either servitude or death, which ever suits them best. Now how did humanity get into it's high position that is is in today? We as a species have developed a sixth sense, not sight, nor taste or smell, but more so the aforementioned manipulation. We have formed the mountains and minerals into towering metropolitan nightmares. Somewhere along the lines of human evolution though this sense developed it's own consciences know as "social morals" or standards. Civilizations use these to conform and reformat the minds of the human so that there are few defects and the process of life continues to go on. Every once in a while though you get someone who can manipulate these forces and eventually a type of social momentum is reversed

wow. when i wrote this, i was totally not thinking. i think i whipped it out in about 15 minutes. maybe 20.
you make some definate good points. actually, it pretty much all good points. and there will be about.... i think it's 5 more paragraphs to support my thesis. and none of the rest deal with "the importance of knowledge". but i do have to stick within the confines of the books i read "for" this project. (i read four random books and am trying to get them to fit together. not working that great.)
at any rate, it's for a teacher who doesn't posses the ability to have thoughts like you have expressed.... so... i'm pretty much guranteed an a right there if i slap on a conclusion and biliography.... but i want to make this an actual good paper, something that might actually make her think.
and i really really appreciate the comment. it made me think. that doesn't happen nearly often enough.
*hugs*
if you can, give me a call later?

Gay behavoir in roman times wasn't nessicerily 'accepted'. Men were still expected to have wives. It's not like they would approve of homo-sexual marriages either. You just had a wife, and then went and screwed young boys.

As for the things that you are trying to explain. I have a sociology book man, you can read through it if u want. It explains some of the stuff u were trying to say here. The Deviance chapter is exceptionally cool.
