Strasbourg

caused the dancing plague to occur in 1518. Some people believe it was caused by the ingestion of ergot by the local people of Strasbourg, France(Israel, n.p). Others believe it was caused by a mass hysteria that broke out amongst the local towns people(Waller, n.p.). While there are many theories and beliefs about what actually caused the Dancing Plague of 1518, the actual cause was a religious belief mixed with the conditions the people had to endure at the time.…

Think of an urge that is almost uncontrollable to ignore. This is what the citizens of Strasbourg began to feel in July of the year 1518. All along the streets, and anywhere that could be seen, the people of the city were involved in an uncontrollable dance. Only heart attacks and strokes would result in the ending of the dance. While this may sound unbelievable, or unintelligent, the victims could not help their ill-decided fate. When the first woman, known as Frau Troffea, began to dance,…

Arising from this, Conservatives also criticise section 2 of the HRA as per “to take into account” Strasbourg interpretations . This requirement along with the proportionality principle that the ECtHR employs, allows Strasbourg judges to bound UK courts in a way that serves the sole interest of the Council and not the country. Adding to their criticism, Conservatives also mention section 3 of the HRA, which allows domestic courts to derogate from statutes by interpreting provisions as widely as…

Florence was not one to favor bullies. If he saw someone being bullied, he was the first one to stand up to the bully. Many of Florence's peers looked up to him for his bravery and for standing up for them. This made him very popular in school, everyone liked him and they almost never said anything negative about him. After three short years in lycée, Florence passes the Baccalauréat exam and graduated. A few months after Florence graduated lycée, he attended college in late September at the…

Bonjour! Thank you for taking the time to see why I’m so passionate with this unbelievable offer. I am going to travel to two specific regions. First, I will begin my visit in Alsace, the heart of Europe. Alsace lies on the west bank of the river Rhine, between the Rhine and the Vosges mountains. To the north and east it shares a border with Germany; to the south with Switzerland. The region of Alsace is separated into two French departments with the Bas-Rhin in the north of the region,…

The common law states anyone who assisted a person to bring about his or her death ought not to be subjected to criminal consequences even for those acting in a professional capacity, if found to be assisting or encouraging a person to commit suicide within their professional powers, they are likely to face prosecution in accordance with Section 2 of the Suicide Act 1961.

Albert Schweitzer was born in Alsace, Germany, where he developed his basic understanding of the world in a religious and musical way. He pursued his education in theology and philosophy and had got a job in Strasbourg. However, Albert decided to follow his call to become a missionary doctor and built a hospital in Lambarene. Though he had hardships during the way, Schweitzer still followed his call and contributed a great service in Africa. His works influenced different people around the world…

switch to the Reformed faith. By 1528 Calvin went studying civil law and received a humanist education. The following year Calvin fled Paris because the new theological teachings opposed the Roman Catholic Church. Over time, he was gradually affected by the new thinkings and teachings. For the next three years, Calvin kept working on his famous book whose name is Institutes of the Christian. He studied on the first edition by himself. By 1536 Calvin had quitted the Roman Catholic Church and…

institutions include The European Parliament; The European Commission; and The European Council. However, there are other institutional bodies such as The European Court of Justice, The European Court of Auditors, and The European Central Bank all which have their own intrinsic functions. The European Court of Justice, for example, plays oversight in ensuring that ratified EU laws are observed and upheld. On the other hand, The European Court of Auditors largely plays an economic role, ensuring…

Nürnberg for the rest of his life, even though he wasn’t an Anabaptist. Hans had to promise not to come within a 10 mile radius of the city. Which means he was also banished from his Wife and Children as well. And so, he found himself alone and homeless, in the dead of winter with nothing but the clothes on his back -- and the inner conviction that he was doing what was right. Upon leaving Nuremberg, Denck joined the Anabaptist movement. In May 1526 he was baptized as a believer by…
