- 13542: Tactics of a Revolution: The Protestant Reformation
- Tactics of a Revolution: The Protestant Reformation The Protestant Reformation was a long time coming, with the influences of John Hus and John Wyclif. However, Martin Luther’s attempt to reform organized religion in Germany, especially, was far more successful than the efforts of Hus and Wyclif.

Luther’s beliefs were much the same as Hus and Wyclif’s. All three fought against the wealth of the church and the extent of the power of the pope; desired an end to pilgrimages and veneration of saints; believed that priests were no better or ...
- 13543: American Exceptionalism
- ... this singular philosophy, such as Seymour Martin Lipset, a professor of public and political affairs, claims that America is "qualitatively different" in origin, individualism, patriotism, and optimism. History professor Ian Tyrrell disagrees and denounces Lipset's aim to "reaffirm" American exceptionalism. He foresees a time when historians will view the United States only through the "comparative analyses" of other developed countries, creating a collaboration of history termed "transnational": the evolution of specific "themes" of history common to each country studied. In light of Lipset's and Tyrrell's arguments, it is necessary to note that while both positions are authoritatively convincing, each does entertain specific inconsistencies. This thereby entices a further opinion regarding exceptionalism in America to emerge that encompasses both sides. ...

- 13547: Epic Theatres
- ... outside, studies." (Bertolt Brecht. Brecht on Theatre. New York:Hill & Yang, 1964. p37) The concept of “epic theatre” was brought to life by German playwright, Bertolt Brecht. This direction of theatre was inspired by Brecht's Marxist political beliefs. It was somewhat of a political platform for his ideologies. Epic theatre is the assimilation of education through entertainment and is the antithesis of Stanislavsky's Realism and also Expressionism. Brecht believed that, unlike epic theatre, Expressionism and Realism were incapable of exposing human nature and so had no educational value. He conjectured that his form of theatre was capable of provoking a change in society. Brecht's intention was to encourage the audience to ponder, with critical detachment, the moral dilemmas presented before them. In order to analyse and evaluate the action occurring on stage, Brecht believed that the audience must ...
