- 2981: How Did World War 2 Change The
- ... women were thought of as inferior. Ever so slowly though, the men’s view on women began to change. The change started in the 1920’s but it was going slowly and needed a catalyst. World War II was that catalyst. So much so that women ended up participating in the rise of the United States to a global power. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, mostly in ... women in the work force occurred because the war had ended. The U.S. didn’t keep all the factories, that were used to build wartime machines and equipment, open. Thus, the high pay and new options that had brought women into the work force, had disappeared. World War II’s impact on women can be looked at as positive and then as negative. Yes women entered the work force and basically ruled it for about five years, and were also the ...
- 2982: Book Report on "The Lost World"
- Book Report on "The Lost World" Characters: The main character in the book is Ian Malcolm, a middle aged mathematician and a little bit of an explorer. The man who set up the exploration, Richard Levine, is a rich and reckless yet well known adventurer who spends a lot of his time and money exploring different places around the world and helps at a middle school to give students of ideas of careers in science. Sarah Harding is a zoologist who was hired to possibly deal with some of the animals. Jack Thorne is the ... record all the footage he wanted until all the cameras went out. What did you learn from it, did it inspire you, or what impression did it make on you? I learned a lot of new things about dinosaurs like some of the predictions about they're behaviors, and the way they lived.
- 2983: The Poetry of John Keats
- ... reading of his poems as mere parts of a larger whole, the reader may miss specific themes and ideals which are not as readily apparent as are the obvious stylistic hallmarks. Through Keats' eyes, the world is a place full of idealistic beauty, both artistic and natural, who's inherent immortality, is to him a constant reminder of that man is irrevocably subject to decay and death. This theme is one ... poetic device to indicate a visionary activity is about to follow with the admission to a state of "drowsey numbness". In this case, the visionary action is the poet slowly lapsing into the nightingale's world, opening his senses to the true nature of the bird while other "men sit and hear each other groan" (Norton 1845). This state of semiconsciousness allows for his understanding that, although it is mid-May ... being mid-May. In stanza seven the poet reveals the nightingale for what it truly is: a symbol nature's immortal beauty. The bird has now entirely escaped the physical limitations of the poet's world where all is subject to death and decay, for it "wast not born for death", and is an "immortal bird" living in an imaginary realm. It lives outside of the human world "where beauty ...
- 2984: Social Welfare And Its Effects
- ... possessions were freely exchanged. Since no organized government or state was established, these early civilizations thrived on sharing. Labor was divided by childbearing and food gathering tasks. As societies migrated to different parts of the world, organized governments, and states were developed. With the advent of organized governments and states came the beginning of social policy. Egyptian social welfare was based on both the economic need for workers and the religious ... as social policy during this period. Yet, these policies were grievously insufficient social problems of this time (Jansson, 1997, p.2). Jansson calls this time period the “Reluctant Welfare State.” Not until Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal” social policy would Americans adopt a federal program designed and targeted towards the economic and social problems of welfare. As a nation, America, devastated by the depression, became united behind this policy. Since then ... through Truman’s failed policies, Johnson’s war on private, up until Clinton’ wolfram, national social policy has gone from one extreme of life long guaranteed assistance, to another extreme, welfare time limits. During the New Deal, social policy makers attempted to design policy that acted as a buffer to combat homelessness an hunger.Although these were noble goals, controversy continued to plague social policy Jansson, 1997, p.3). Social ...
- 2985: Thoeries of Evolution
- ... to adapt to the changing environment. The earliest known fossil organisms are the single-celled forms resembling modern bacteria; they date from about 3.4 billion years ago. Evolution has resulted in successive radiations of new types of organisms, many of which have become extinct, but some of which have developed into the present fauna and flora of the world (Wilson 17). Evolution has been studied for nearly two centuries. One of the earliest evolutionists was Jean Baptiste de Lamarck, who argued that the patterns of resemblance found in various creatures arose through evolutionary modifications ... born than survive to breed, constant winnowing of the less fit-a natural selection-should occur, leading to a population that is well adapted to the environment it inhabits. When environmental conditions change, populations require new properties to maintain their fitness. Either the survival of a sufficient number of individuals with suitable traits leads to an eventual adaptation of the population as a whole, or the population becomes extinct. Evolution ...
- 2986: Harry Elmer Barnes
- ... America of his day. Barnes argued that propagandists and "court historians" were fashioning a present, based on a falsified and inaccurate telling of the past, that was designed to meet Establishment desires to participate in world wars. Ironically,Barnes' article was omitted from the first edition the collection.(1) Barnes may be best remembered as the author of the generally accepted definition of "revisionism," "Revisionism means nothing more or less than ... light of a more complete collection of historical facts, a more calm political atmosphere, and a more objective attitude." (2) Barnes had discovered that a more nearly accurate version of the history of the First World War was only possible after the fighting had ended and the emotional excesses had lessened. He was unable to predict that similar corrections of Allied propaganda and popularized conceptions of the methods of warfare in the Second World War would meet even sterner resistance. Today - half a century after the conclusion of the Second World War - it would be fair to expect a less emotional environment, one in which historians, researchers and ...
- 2987: The Evolution Of The World
- ... all maps created. This eliminated the need for any latitude or longitude. Before hand, there had been more than six hundred maps created, not one having this holy city as the center. There was nothing new about putting "the most sacred place at the center" says Boorstin. The Hindus placed Mount Meru, a mythological 70,000 foot high mountain at the center of their map. In the Muslim faith, the Ka ... was categorized by a complete silence where people in general, forgot about the issue of whether the earth was flat or whether it was a globe. Another reason that brought the theories of a globular world to rest was because the priests told the general public that the earth was flat. Priests such as St. Augustine and others invented the Antipode theory, which stated that a world shaped like a globe is impossible because objects would be hanging downwards and growing backwards. Once again, religion played a major part in this argument that would rage on for many years to come. ...
- 2988: Slavery - The Anti-Slavery Effort
- Slavery in America can be traced as far back as when Europeans began settling the North American continent. The first town established in the New Worlrd was Jamestown in 1607, and the first slave arrived on the continent in 1619. European pioneers that colonized North America brought slaves with them to help settle the new land, work their plantations growing valuable cash crops such as tobacco and sugar, and to cook and clean in their homes. Most people didn’t see slavery as a problem at this time because it was quite rare in the New World with only a few wealthy landowners who owned slaves, however, public opinion would be swayed. Abolitionists first started appearing in America at about the time of the American revolution. Opponents of slavery included ...
- 2989: Orwell And Marx
- ... The edition, which sold several millions copies, however, omitted the rest of the sentence: "and for democratic Socialism, as I understand it.² It is in Animal Farm, written in 1944 but not published until after World War Two in 1945, which Orwell offers a political and social doctrine whose ideas and ideols can be seen in all of his proceeding works. In an essay published in the summer of 1946 entitled ... Orwell did not want change in the system. Orwell did, like Marx, want revolutionary change to occur and agreed with the Marxist principle that rebellions would spread and hoped that they would eventually lead to new democratically Socialist societies. Orwell did not, though, believe that revolution would be successful. We see this in Animal Farm when Animalism is suppressed by farmers after word of the Rebellion and its apparent success spreads ... to rise up and rebel as Manor Farm's animals did, if they can at all. When a revolution does occur, however, as it does on Manor Farm, it eventually shatters and forms a whole new society in need of another, as it does on Manor Farm, a microcosm of revolutionary societies. It is a comment on the ever-increasing gap in the distribution of wealth and its affects on ...
- 2990: The Roaring Twenties: A Time of Great Advancement and Excitement
- ... Advancement and Excitement The 1920s was a time of great advancement and excitement for America. Wilson, Harding, and Coolidge reigned during this decade which was later nicknamed the Roaring Twenties. Wilson lead us out of World War I, while Harding and Coolidge directed us onward and upward. Lifestyles became more luxurious, and entertainment became more popular. In 1928, Henry Ford manufactured a new car, the Model A, which was more luxurious than his previous Model T. Ford’s mass-production techniques cut the costs of production dramatically, put the automobile within reach of the working person’s purse ... Hawkins. Lastly, Fats Waller was another swing era favorite who sang hilarious parodies of popular songs while playing stride piano. The dress of this era became more extravagant. The once-modest maidens now proclaimed their new freedom as “flappers” in bobbed tresses and dresses. Young women appeared at these dinner-dancing lounges with hemlines elevated, stockings rolled, breasts taped flat, cheeks rouged, and lips a “crimson gash” which held a ...
