- ... in American history many will try to forget, but will be embedded in the minds of all. The Great Awakening was a time of spiritual revival from the bland, monotone speakers of the past. The new speakers were crazed with enthusiasm and used unheard of methods of preaching, which greatly upset “old lights” or orthodox clergymen. The Great Awakening caused the creation of many new denominations, preaching styles, and competitiveness in America’s churches. Jonathan Edwards was one of the first men to revolutionize the nation with these new preaching techniques. His most famous speech, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” gave a graphic depiction of what eternal damnation was like. He used an example of a spider hanging from its ...

- ... goal does raise serious issues. One, is the definition of high employment. It obviously does not mean zero unemployment, as there will always be some frictional unemployment. This results from workers leaving jobs to find new ones, new entrants into the labor force, and from a geographical mis-match or occupational mismatch of workers and jobs. Even if an appropriate level of un-employment is determined, there is not a good statistical measure ... in the equity and reasonableness of social conditions in general. Page 6 Foreign Exchange Rate Stability The foreign exchange rate market has become so much more important in recent years, as the economies of the world have become more integrated, and foreign currency exchange rates have begun to affect even larger segments of the economy. Because ex-change rates are clearly dependent in some ways on the monetary policies of ...

- ... roofs and extended lines that blend into the landscape. Between the year of 1903-1906, Wright began using more modern materials, such as concrete. In 1904, he designed the strong, practical Larkin building in Buffalo, New York. In 1905, Wright left the United States for the first time to travel to Japan for three months. In 1911, feeling too restricted by building primarily suburban structures, Wright began the construction of his new home and studio, located on his uncle s Wisconsin farm, called Taliesin (Welsh for shining brow ).

- ... being regenerated. Convection currents beneath the plates move the crustal plates in different directions. The source of heat driving the convection currents is radioactivity deep in the Earths mantle. Advances in sonic depth recording during World War II and the subsequent development of the nuclear resonance type magnometer (proton-precession magnometer) led to detailed mapping of the ocean floor and with it came many observation that led scientists like Howard Hess and R. Deitz to revive Holmes' convection theory. Hess and Deitz modified the theory considerably and called the new theory "Sea-floor Spreading". Among the seafloor features that supported the sea-floor spreading hypothesis were: mid-oceanic ridges, deep sea trenches, island arcs, geomagnetic patterns, and fault patterns. Mid-Oceanic Ridges The mid-oceanic ... Seismic studies show that the mid-oceanic ridges experience an elevated number of earthquakes. All these observations indicate intense geological activity at the mid-oceanic ridges. Geomagnetic Anomalies Peridically, the Earth's magnetic field reverses. New rock formed from magma records the orientation of Earth's magnetic field at the time the magma cools. Study of the sea floor with magnometers revealed "stripes" of alternating magnetization parallel to the mid- ...
- 4949: To Have Intellectual Freedom Or To Be Censored
- ... that the “thought” is the most dangerous weapon for the security of the statehood. They try to exploit the people’s sensibility in that way. They think that there is only one truth in the world and that truth is theirs.

These people can’t accept that “düþünce özgürlüðü ... in order to show their different ideas about the state and its supremacy. Of course there is no way to support such illegal actions but the PKK and their actions all over Turkey and the world show that the censorship of freedoms does not conclude the conflicts and the contradictions among different political groups.

- 4950: What Is Sociology
- ... actions for structures. Mills termed the sociological analysis of actions the sociological imagination (Mills, 1970). This involves being able to think outside the box of taken for granted assumptions and look at actions in a new way, based on the reasons behind actions, for example what is the symbolic value of a particular action and what could the social and economic reason be for carrying it out. From this, a sociologist develops a social conscience and cannot, as Giddens suggests, be unaware of the inequalities that exist in the world today It would be strange if sociologists did not take sides on practical issues (Giddens, 1993: p23). To conclude, Sociology is the study of society. Sociology is as broad and intricate as society itself. Sociology ...
