English language (origin etc..)

Image
English English is a West Germanic language in the Indo-European language family, whose speakers, called Anglophones, originated in early medieval England. The namesake of the language is the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britain. Modern English is both the most spoken language in the world and the third-most spoken native language, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. It is also the most widely learned second language in the world, with more second-language speakers than native speakers. English is either the official language or one of the official languages in 59 sovereign states (such as India, Ireland, and Canada). In some other countries, it is the sole or dominant language for historical reasons without being explicitly defined by law (such as in the United States or the United Kingdom).  It is a co-official language of the United Nations, the European Union, and many other international and regional organizations.

 Top 3 Oldest Civilizations in the World A  cradle of civilization  is a location and a culture where  civilization  was created independent of other civilizations in other locations. The formation of urban settlements (cities) is the primary characteristic of a society that can be characterized as "civilized". Other characteristics of civilization include a sedentary non-nomadic population, monumental architecture, the existence of social classes and inequality, and the creation of a  writing system  for communication. The transition from simpler societies to the complex society of a civilization is gradual. Scholars generally acknowledge the 3 cradles of civilization.   Mesopotamia , Indus Valley  civilization and  Ancient Egypt  are believed to be the earliest in the  Old World .  Mesopotamia Civilization Mesopotamia is a place situated in the middle of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This region is now a part of Iraq. Mesopotamian civilization was known for the advanceme

Etiology

 Etiology  Etiology is the study of the causes, origins, or reasons behind the way that things are, or the way they function, or it can refer to the causes themselves. The word is commonly used in medicine (pertaining to causes of disease) and in philosophy, but also in physics, biology, psychology, government, geography, spatial analysis, and theology in reference to the causes or origins of various phenomena. In the past, when many physical phenomena were not well understood or when histories were not recorded, myths often arose to provide etiologies. Thus, an etiological myth, or origin myth, is a myth that has arisen, been told over time, or written to explain the origins of various social or natural phenomena. For example, Virgil's  Aeneid  is a national myth written to explain and glorify the origins of the Roman Empire. In theology, many religions have creation myths explaining the origins of the world or its relationship to believers. In medicine, the etiology of an illness

Neoplastic disorder Image of Neoplastic disorder Neoplastic disorders are diseases that involve abnormal growths of cells or tissues .  They can be either malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous) .  Malignant neoplasms can be classified into five main types, depending on the origin of the cells or tissues: carcinomas, sarcomas, myelomas, leukemias, and lymphomas . Neoplastic disorders can affect various parts of the body and cause different symptoms and complications. The diagnosis of neoplastic disorders involves a thorough examination of the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and blood tests. Further tests such as imaging and electrophysiology are ordered based on the symptoms and findings. Antibody tests are conducted to look for paraneoplastic antibodies in the blood, and hormone tests are performed to measure the levels of hormones such as cortisol, antidiuretic hormone, and parathyroid hormone, depending on the condition. Other tests used to diagnose neoplast

Theology  Theology is the systematic study of the nature of the divine, or more broadly of religious belief. It is taught as an academic discipline, typically in universities and seminaries.  It occupies itself with the unique content of analyzing the supernatural, but also deals with religious epistemology, asks and seeks to answer the question of revelation.  Revelation pertains to the acceptance of   God ,   gods , or   deities , as not only transcendent or above the natural world but also willing and able to interact with the natural world and to reveal themselves to humankind. Theologians use various forms of analysis and argument (experiential, philosophical, ethnographic, historical, and others) to help understand, explain, test, critique, defend or promote any myriad of religious topics.  As in the philosophy of ethics and case law, arguments often assume the existence of previously resolved questions and develop by making analogies from them to draw new inferences in new situa

They have been together for many a happy year. Sadly, they never produced any offspring. They feared that as they grew older, death would divide them.

Mythological stories and definition

Image
MYTHOLOGY   A mythology is  a collection of myths or stories about a specific person, culture, religion, or any group with shared beliefs . Most people don't consider mythology to be entirely true, but they still take it seriously.  There are four basic theories of myth. Those theories are  the rational myth theory, functional myth theory, structural myth theory, and psychological myth theory .  The rational myth theory states that myths were created to explain natural events and forces.  The word myth  derives from the Greek mythos, which has a range of meanings from “word,” through “saying” and “story,” to “fiction” ; the unquestioned validity of mythos can be contrasted with logos, the word whose validity or truth can be argued and demonstrated.  Myths are stories that are based on tradition.  Some may have factual origins, while others are completely fictional . But myths are more than mere stories and they serve a more profound purpose in ancient and modern cultures.   The ear
