- 1591: Compressed Gas: Helium
- Compressed Gas: Helium Helium was discovered by a French astronomer named Pierre-Julius-Cesar Janssen. The French astronomer got evidence for the element during solar eclipse in 1868. He detected new lines in the solar spectrum. Later in 1895 Sir William Ramsay discovered it in clevite, a uranium mineral. Although it was ...
- 1592: Ronald Wilson Reagan
- ... with the USSR, and called it an evil empire. He launched a crusade against governments and movements under Soviet influence. Another point of Reagan s foreign policy was to reverse the momentum of the Marxist revolution in Central America. After a revolution in Nicaragua had disposed of former leader Anatosio Somoza, the U.S. accused the new Sandinista government of aiding rebels in El Salvador with weapons. So the Reagan cut his aid to Nicaragua and started ...
- 1593: Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau
- ... and their property. The social contract is formed to improve things and create order. A government is formed with the basic purpose to serve the rights of the common good of the people. Locke justifies revolution if the government is not protecting the rights of the subjects. The job of the legislature is to represent the will of the majority. If the rights of the people are not protected, the legislature ... people in awe, they will continually be in war against each other. For this reason, the power of the sovereign must be absolute. His idea of government is typical to that of a fascist regime. Revolution was only justified if the people were in a state of war with the government. In Rousseau’s social contract, the individual must give up personal freedom to the general will, which is the sum ...
- 1594: James Cameron
- ... but it was deemed too costly at the time. He also had some ideas concerning the doomed ocean liner Titanic, but nothing specific at the time. Arnold Schwarzenegger finally made him aware of a small french movie called La Totale!, which could easily be turned into an overbudget American blockbuster, and Schwarzenegger couldn’t think of anyone better than Cameron to do it. Cameron signed on and wrote a screenplay based upon the french movie. It was the movie True Lies. The movie was actually an action comedy, but it also featured some of the most stunning and expensive effects at that time. The movie went way over budget ...
- 1595: Europe And The New World
- Europe and the ‘New World’ Tutorial Question: Why were the ‘westerners’ (Spanish, English, Portuguese’s, French etc) able to displace the native people’s of America with, seemingly, relative ease? Was this evidence of a superior ‘civilisation’? Many believe that there is a great difference between ‘westerners’ and the native people of the lands they conquered. The truth is, that there is not great distinction, except in the minds of white men. ‘Westerners’ such as the French, Spanish, English and Portuguese have always believed in their own superiority. This confidence gave them the strength to displace the natives and also the justification for doing so. The civilized world seemed to grow, and ...
- 1596: The Beliefs of Martin Luther King Jr.
- ... that enabled so many people to have trust and faith in him. Through King’s integrity he believed that America, the most powerful and richest nation in the world will lead the way to a revolution of values. This revolution will change the way society views itself, shifting from a “thing-orientated” society to a “person-orientated” society. When this occurs, King believed that racism will be capable of being conquered and this nation will ...
- 1597: Joan of Arc
- ... was going. While in France Joan used the voices in her head to help the Dauphin, Charles VII. She told the Dauphin how she was capable of saving France and she was given a large French army to lead. The army she was given won many wars against the English and helped the French in the Hundred Years' War. This gave her a place of honor next to the king in the Cathedral. Charles was against any further battles against the English. In 1430 Joan fought the English again ...
- 1598: Andrew Carnegie
- Andrew Carnegie was not only an outstanding industrialist, but also a great philanthropist. In the excerpt from page 105, Carnegie is stating that an end to Individualism would result in a revolution not an evolution because it is changing human nature itself, and there would be no way to know if it would even be a change for the better. This excerpt was one trying to convey ... one that arises with each leader (especially communist) trying to change a society during this period of history. I don’t believe, however, that Andrew Carnegie was trying to become a leader or begin a revolution. He was strictly stating his opinions on wealth and in turn giving that wealth away. Carnegie was a man of many contradictions. He was the wealthiest human being of all time, and he was convinced ...
- 1599: In The Time Of The Butterflies
- The main point of Julia Alvarez’s "In the Time of the Butterflies" is to show individual personality in each character. This book shows that the people involved in the revolution led personal lives and had feelings just like those of us who read about them. By telling about the characters’ families and personal issues, Alvarez draws her readers into the book and makes them feel ... children to grow up without them? I see that they were trying to prove a point, but it also seems that they were working against themselves at the same time. They could not further the revolution while they were sitting in jail. I also wondered why Trujillo all of the sudden started killing people left and right. I concluded that he was desperate because he knew he was not going to ...
- 1600: The Crime at Compiegne
- ... that she had a divine mission to save France. Approving her claims, she was granted a small detachment of troops to command. Dressed in armor and carrying a white banner that represented God blessing the French royal emblem, the fleur-de-lis, she led the French to a decisive victory over the English at Orleans. Having accomplished this miraculous feat she convinced Charles to risk the journey to Rheims in order to hold coronation ceremonies in the cathedral there, according to ...
