In the book-Taking Sides
Clashing Views in World History, Volume 1: The Ancient World to the Pre-Modern Era
here is an argument.-
ISSUE 7. Did the Byzantine Empire Benefit from the Rule of Justinian and Theodora?

YES: Paolo Cesaretti, from Theodora: Empress of Byzantium (The Vendome Press, 2004)

NO: Procopius, from Secret History, trans. by Richard Atwater (P. Covici, 1927; Covici Friede, 1927; University of Michigan Press, 1961)

Professor of Byzantine studies, Paolo Cesaretti, presents a balanced view of the accomplishments of Justinian and Theodora in the Byzantine Empire of the sixth century. Procopius, a contemporary of the Byzantine rulers, offers a "secret history" of their personal and administrative failings.



can anyone explain both sides please?please please!

TOKYO (Reuters) - Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Monday Japan will not apologise again for forcing women to act as sex slaves for Japanese soldiers in World War 2 even if a U.S. House of Representatives resolution demanding an apology is adopted.
But Abe said he stood by a 1993 Japanese government apology that acknowledged that the military played a role in setting up and managing wartime brothels and that coercion was used.
"I have to say that even if the resolution passes, that doesn't mean we will apologise," Abe told a parliamentary panel, reiterating the government stance that the U.S. resolution contains factual errors.
Abe has said since becoming prime minister last September that he stands by the 1993 apology, a statement he repeated on Monday. This has disappointed many of his conservative supporters who shared his past criticism of the statement.
But last week, Abe sparked a fierce reaction from South Korea when he appeared to question the degree to which physical coercion was involved in recruiting the women for the brothels.
"There is no evidence to back up that there was coercion as defined initially," he told reporters on Thursday, apparently referring to accusations that the Imperial Army had kidnapped women and put them in brothels to serve soldiers.
On Monday, he said there seemed to have been some apparent cases of coercion, such as by middlemen, but added: "It was not as though military police broke into peoples' homes and took them away like kidnappers."
On Saturday, South Korea's foreign ministry issued a statement saying Abe's denial of coercion was regrettable and cast doubt on the sincerity of Japan's previous apology.
Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki said on Monday that the government stood firmly by the 1993 apology.
"Looking at the various media coverage and comments, I believe they were not based on an appropriate interpretation," he told a news conference.
U.S. House of Representatives member Michael Honda, a California Democrat, has introduced a non-binding resolution calling on the Japanese government to "formally and unambiguously apologise for and acknowledge the tragedy that comfort women endured at the hands of its Imperial Army during World War Two".
"Comfort women" is a Japanese euphemism for the estimated 200,000 mostly Asian women forced to provide sex for Japan's soldiers at battle-zone brothels during the war.
Honda, one of a handful of U.S. lawmakers of Japanese descent, has said he is alarmed at efforts by some conservatives in Japan to withdraw or revise the government's earlier admission of a state role in the brothel system.
A group of ruling party lawmakers was set to urge the government to water down parts of the apology and had drawn up a report on changes it wanted made, the Yomiuri Shimbun said last Thursday.
But Shiozaki said he did not believe this was the case, adding: "I don't think there are efforts being made to amend or retract the statement."

According to Wikipedia, the word premonition refers to a situation when future events are foreknown or forecast. Premonitions are attributed to the presence of supernatural or paranormal abilities. Many people have experienced a premonition, some more so than others. It can be as slight as a gnawing or gut feeling that something is not right or as overwhelming as a dream, such as Sandra Bullock's character in Premonition, where one can see what is going to happen.

Although it is often hard to prove, there have been many famous premonitions recorded throughout history. On of the most talked about is a premonition President Abraham Lincoln had just days before his assassination. He dreamt of people crying in the East Wing of the White House. As he went to investigate he was told that the weeping was for the President who had been assassinated. Days later he was killed in Ford Theatre by John Wilkes Booth and his body was later held in the East Wing so that people could pay respect.

Harriet Tubman, who could neither read nor write, was rumored to have premonitions that helped her lead herself and hundreds of slaves to freedom, safely. She often dreamt of soldiers capturing her and later avoided those places during her journeys. Many believe this is what ultimately allowed her to escape slavery and return five times to lead out some 300 slaves without getting caught or punished.

The sinking of the Titanic on its maiden voyage is one of the most talked about events in history. However, what many people do not realize is that only fifty-eight percent of the ship's passenger load was filled the night of its journey. Further investigation led psychiatrist Ian Stevenson to record more than nineteen incidents of premonitions and precognitions. Some cancelled their reservations after dreaming of the ship's doom while others said it was bad luck to sail on the ship's maiden voyage.
