The Industrial Revolution was characterized by unprecedented economic growth, the factory system of production, and ... also possessed certain economic advantages over England and did not industrialize first. The first question the reader asks is why exactly did the Industrial Revolution begin in England? We learn this through Robert L. Heilbroner’s work “The Making of Economic Society: England the first to industrialize”. “The first of these factors was simply that England was relatively wealthy”(131).

- 19732: Cost Of Wwii
- ... to have spent the most on the war by far. Germany was next, having spent $272 billion; followed by the Soviet Union spending $192 billion. Next was Britain who spent $120 billion followed by Italy's billion and Japan's $56 billion. Although these are fairly accurate figures, the money spent by each individual country does not come close to being the war's true cost. Property damage was a huge cost following World War II. Entire cities including Stalingrad, Warsaw, Hamburg, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki lay in ruins following World War II. Cities in Japan such as Hiroshima ...
- 19733: The International Space Station
- ... medicines. Experiments aimed at developing advanced technologies and materials. The ISS will be equipped with furnaces to monitor the behavior of unfamiliar substances in space, and also tested to determine their characteristics. A scientific project's construction and assembly with such magnitude will involve the combined efforts of many space agencies and engineering firms, including the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain ... is an open secret that the project may never be completed and its designers have planned the project to enable limited use of a partially finished construction. In 1996, Russian space officials told the U.S. that it would scale back it's involvement in the ISS and signaled as on previous occasions, their intensions to upgrade and continue with the space station, Mir. It would seem that Russia would not want to have to bear the ...
- 19734: Macbeth
- ... is presented as a mature man of definitely established character, successful in certain fields of activity and enjoying an enviable reputation. We must not conclude, there, that all his volitions and actions are predictable; Macbeth's character, like any other man's at a given moment, is what is being made out of potentialities plus environment, and no one, not even Macbeth himself, can know all his inordinate self-love whose actions are discovered to be-and ... for worldly honors; his delight lies primarily in buying golden opinions from all sorts of people. But we must not, therefore, deny him an entirely human complexity of motives. For example, his fighting in Duncan's service is magnificent and courageous, and his evident joy in it is traceable in art to the natural pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of prodigious physical energy and the euphoria which follows. He ...
- 19735: Witches In Macbeth
- To what extent are the witches in the tragedy Macbeth responsible for Macbeth's actions? The Three witches in the tragedy Macbeth are introduced right at the beginning of the play. They recount to Macbeth three prophesies. That Macbeth will be Thane of Cawdor, Thane of Glams and King ... best for her husband. Before the speech that Lady Macbeth gives in act one scene five, Macbeth is resolved not to go through with the killing of the king. However, Lady Macbeth manipulates at Macbeth's self-esteem by playing on his manliness and his bravery. This then convinces Macbeth to commit regicide. It is like a child who is easily guided. Lady Macbeth knows this and acts on it accordingly ... Macbeth becomes subservient. She becomes pathetic and only a shadow of her former self. Ambition plays a large role in this tragedy. Both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have "vaulting ambition" that drives them. Lady Macbeth's ambition drives her to manipulate Macbeth into committing regicide. Macbeth's fierce ambition is present before the witch's prophesies. He would never have thought seriously about killing Duncan without the witches. Yet the ...
- 19736: Nuclear Energy
- Nuclear Energy The Earth’s natural resources are being used up at an extreme rate. As these resources lessen, people must seek alternative sources to generate electricity for heat and light. The only practical solution for the energy is nuclear ... gas or oil in a factory. In fact, nuclear power is much more dangerous. There are dangers with nuclear power plants that far out-weigh the benefits to society. About 20 percent of our nation's total electrical consumption per year is supplied by nuclear power from the 100 or so nuclear power plants throughout the country. Even though atomic power has been in use for over 50 years it was ... of 1979 caused large amounts of radiation to be released into the atmosphere. Accidents involving US nuclear power plants are very rare. This does not mean that they do not occur.

It was caused by some workmen who were using ...

- 19738: Comparing the Different Types of Love Evident in Romeo and Juliet
- ... which Mercutio believes in, is well explained in his Queen Mab story. Queen Mab, an English folk tale fairy was said to bring the dreams to men and her child is the midwife to men's fantasies. Mercutio wants just the physical part of love, that is, sex. This is evident in his queen mab story: “O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you. She is a fairie's midwife, and she comes In shape no bigger than an agate-stone On the fore-finger of an alderman, Drawn with a team of little atomies Over men's noses as they lie asleep; Her waggon spokes made of long spinners legs, The cover of the wings of grasshoppers; Her traces of the smallest spiders web; Her collars of the moonshine's watery ...
- 19739: Evil In Women and Its Effect on Macbeth
- ... My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man that function Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is But what is not." (1.3.140-143). Throughout Shakespeare's play, we see that Macbeth is the victim of evil seduction by women. In the above quote the evil is perpetrated by the witches. Lady Macbeth also plays a strong role in his moral corruption ... and she did eat it; and she gave it unto her husband..." (Genesis 3.6). Eve, out of fear, beguiled Adam. In Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and the witches, succumbing to greed, corrupted Macbeth. Lady Macbeth's actions parallel those of the witches. The witches planted the idea that Macbeth should become king. Lady Macbeth followed through with this idea by pushing Macbeth to kill Duncan. "... a very definition of the weird ... on them to unsex her to cram her with cruelty from top to toe..." (Bloom 29). This quote illustrates the connection between Lady Macbeth and the witches, showing us that they both participated in Macbeth's moral decline. Shakespeare, it seems, utilizes the symbol of the witches to portray the basic evil inherent in Lady Macbeth. One could not have worked without the other. If it were only the witches' ...

- ... characteristics. These four characteristics include the following: (1) he must be high born, (2) the hero must have human weaknesses, (3) he must be brave,and 4) he must be clever. In The Odyssey, Homer s character Odysseus was an epic hero because he possessed all four of the characteristics. One characteristic that Odysseus had to be an epic hero was that he was highborn. Odysseus was Prince Laertiades of Ithaca ... Polyphemos (the Cyclops) Odysseus stayed longer just so he could taunt him. He wanted to shout out again although [his] comrades tried to coax [him] not to do it (p.110). Odysseus, against his crew s wishes, shouted, Cyclops! if ever a man asks you who put out your ugly eye, tell him your blinder was Odysseus! (p.110). Another human weakness of Odysseus was that he had a bad temper. When Eurylochos refused to go back to Circe s mansion, Odysseus thought for a moment that [he] would draw [his] sword and cut off his head (p.121). If his men did not stop him, Odysseus probably would have killed Eurylochos and therefore ...
