- 575: Realism And Naturalism In 20th
- American people and the authors among them were left disillusioned by the effects that World War I had on their society. America needed a literature that would explain what had happened and what was happening to their society. American writers turned to what is now known as modernism. The influence of 19th Century realism and naturalism and their truthful representation of American life and people was evident in post World War I modernism. This paper will try to prove this by presenting the basic ideas and of these literary genres, literary examples of each, and then make connections between the two literary movements. Realism and Modernism not only depicted American society after World War I accurately and unbiasedly, but also tried to find the solutions brought upon by the suffering created by the war (Elliott 705). The realistic movement of the late 19th century saw authors accurately ...

- 577: American Exceptionalism
- ... do not- only as a result of the permanent and perpetual American mind set of individualism, the next point. American so-called individualism may be traced back to the country's origins as the "first new nation" (besides Iceland) to gain newfound independence. These "revolutionary origins" based upon the principles declared in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, which caused certain upheaval centuries ago, no longer ... people. Minority groups, blacks, women, and even animals seem to win in rights struggles. While they may win in some areas, Americans short-change themselves in others by behaving independently from the remainder of the world, proving Lipset's main theme: "American exceptionalism is a-double-edged sword." In explaining what is meant by the "double-edged sword of American exceptionalism, Lipset admits that for America, being different, being an "outlier" does not necessarily mean being better. America has the highest crime rates in the world, the highest divorce rate, the greatest number of people behind bars, the greatest number of people who could vote, but do not, and a fluctuating amount of unnecessary "litigiousness." However, Lipset refuses to expatiate ...

- 579: Virtual Reality - What it is and How it Works
- ... the illusion of reality with a piece of machinery known as the computer. This is done with several computer-user interfaces used to simulate the senses. Among these, are stereoscopic glasses to make the simulated world look real, a 3D auditory display to give depth to sound, sensor lined gloves to simulate tactile feedback, and head-trackers to follow the orientation of the head. Since the technology is fairly young, these ... in real life, people rely mainly on vision to get places and do things. The eyes are approximately 6.5 centimeters apart, and allow you to have a full-colour, three-dimensional view of the world. Stereoscopy, in itself, is not a very new idea, but the new twist is trying to generate completely new images in real-time. In 1933, Sir Charles Wheatstone invented the first stereoscope with the same basic principle being used in today's ...
