- 26241: The Closing of the American Revolution
- ... goal, these different social and ethnic groups worked along side one another to establish victory in achieving a nation of self-rule. As a direct result of the American Revolution, ideals and beliefs about America’s social and political hierarchies were drastically changed forever. When the first gunshot of the revolution was fired on April 19, 1775 in the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the exorbitant social changes that would soon ... and wealthy begun wearing homespun clothing and military leaders respected all members of the militia. Egalitarianism was on the rise, allowing white men to nourish the idea that ability, exertion, and rectitude defined a man’s worth. At this time egalitarianism did not apply to anyone other than white men. Yet, it later supplied the basis for which women, Blacks, and others would fight for American social equality. Blacks joined the ... the Revolution through medical assistance. In addition to supplying most of the United States’ militia clothing, American women also ran business establishments while their husbands were at war. Moreover, some women even took their husband’s place in combat. These actions later became the subject of heated debates over the role of women, and the accountability of African Americans. After the revolution, and the official recognition of American independence, the ...
- 26242: Borders
- ... States government which has not respected the political borders present in this part of the world. We have stepped into territory in this area that we have no business being involved with. Under our government’s supervision, the CIA carried out a coup in Guatemala in which it installed a self-perpetuation pro-American gang of military criminals who have held power for almost forty years. Their reproductive mechanism has been ... their conditions did not improve, they just become more and more submerged into the web of oppression which they face. They were "human beings (being) ‘treated as an instrument of production’" (Berryman 93). Our country’s officials and investors used these people to achieve personal interests and economic investments by means of force and threats. The borderline of respect was not just crossed but completely annihilated. If we as a country could have simply minded our own business and not infringed upon Central America’s many levels of borders hundreds of thousands of innocent victims would not have had their lives destroyed or even ended. Borders are real. They cannot be ignored or surpasses without critical consequences. They exist ...
- 26243: Pallas Athene Versus Minerva
- ... alike, but this is not true. Athena was looked upon and spoken of very differently in Roman and Greek myths, though she remains with the same basic personality traits in both cultures. Rome acquired it's stories of mythology and religion from the Italians (who derived their beliefs from the Greeks), and therefore most of the myths of deities were the same as the Greeks', but with a few changes. The ... intelligence, sophistication and knowledge, Their version of Athena was mainly of a logical and sensible person, who would avoid a fight if possible. The Romans, who were a society of warlike men, focused on Minerva's war capabilities and short temper. Both cultures focused on the parts of the Gods which were most like themselves and best suited their needs. For the Greeks, the Gray-Eyed Goddess was not associated with ... as a powerful Goddess of war which watched over them was they went into battle, while the Greeks saw her as a thoughtful judge who guided them in their adventures. The Romans warped the Greek's beliefs into ideas and concepts which they could relate to better, and which everyone could have a firm grasp on because of it. This project was helpful to me in both teaching me about ...
- 26244: Actions of the Government and The Increase in Prices
- ... equilibrium is established. The real GDP and the price level have both decreased from the original long-run equilibrium level and the economy is operating under the full employment level. At this point the U.S. economy is at a recessionary gap and a monetary policy must be used to pull the economy from the current recession. There are three options that the Federal Reserve has to try and end the ... decrease. Because of this decrease consumption becomes less desirable by consumers and the aggregate quantity demand decreases. Another result of this increase in prices is the decrease of exports because the higher prices make U.S. products less desirable. Consumption and net exports are now decreasing. The level of aggregate quantity supplied continues to rise and the level of aggregate quantity demanded continues to fall until aggregate quantity demanded and aggregate quantity supplied are equal. This causes the U.S. economy to enter a state of long-run equilibrium at full employment. This new level of equilibrium should be very similar to the original long-run equilibrium. The total real GDP has not been ...
- 26245: Americas Vision Hamilton Or Jefferson
- ... distrusted centralized power, especially from an aristocracy or a moneyed class. Thomas Jefferson favored the spread of power ranging from the federal level to state and local levels. Jefferson stated, I have never observed men s honesty to increase with their riches. Alexander Hamilton, on the other side, distrusted popular rule and emphasized law, order, authority and property. Alexander Hamilton wanted to promote commerce and industry through a strong central government ... so. Hamilton argued for a loose interpretation. He relied on the implied powers clause which states that Congress can make all laws necessary and proper for the execution of its power. In retrospect, both men s views had merit. Both views were necessary for a fledgling nation and both left a priceless heritage to our future. However, it is Jefferson s faith in men and his idealism that gave more to our nation. The term Jeffersonian Democracy still means a dream of a limited government. Men in all classes from the urban workers to Western ...
- 26246: Was The Grand Prix Beneficial For Melbourne
- ... part-time jobs and 1,000 full-time jobs were created over the weekend. The "greenies" are still trying to stop the race at Albert Park. First it was "Save The Park" and now it's "Stop The Grand Prix." At first they protested about the cutting down of hundreds of trees to make way for the track. But this has been overcome by the replanting of 5000 new trees which would cover 16 football ovals. This is almost double the amount of trees that were there previously. They don't care about the huge impact that the race had on Melbourne, instead they unsuccessfully protest against it and by doing so it has cost the Victorian taxpayers $1.3 million. But the track has already ...
- 26247: The Scarlet Letter- Scaffold A
- ... to be the only place in the Boston community in which unbridled- and often brutal- honesty can be found. Hawthorne uses the scaffold as a tool through which he demonstrates the public revelation of one s sins. Public penitence upon the scaffold was the only way society would acknowledge, and later forgive one for their sins. It is the first step on the long road to acceptance back into the strict ... miracle; while the minister stood, with a flush of triumph in his face, as one who, in the crisis of acutest pain, had one a victory. Then, down he sank, upon the scaffold! (232) Dimmesdale s confession of his act of treacherous sin freed him from the restraints, which had held him back for so long. Now, finally, his soul could be laid to rest, no longer forced to endure the ... for these actions, but serves as the only place where the people of the community accept, and later forgive the sins and wrongdoings of the offenders. The scaffold is the most prominent motif in Hawthorne s The Scarlet Letter, for the significant events that occur upon it lay the groundwork upon which the novel is constructed. Ultimately, no truths would have been uncovered without the presence of the scaffold, leaving ...
- 26248: Classical Theory Structure
- ... distortion of employees' rational judgment in carrying out their assigned duties. Employees working in a classically structured organization are encouraged to maintain distinction between their private and professional lives. The last tenet of Max Weber's theory involves security and advancement. He held that security in a position was gained by tenure. For motivated individuals who want to advance their careers, hard work and achievement are viewed in this type of organization as the best way to develop a good rapport with the supervisor. Because responsibility is so easily laid on individuals, awarding recognition on an individual basis is the rule. In today's society, even as we progress from the so-called Industrial Age to the Information Age, such organizations still exist. The police department is a high visibility organization that continues to utilize the ideas founded in classical theory. Potential officers are given a series of tests, both physical and mental, which determine to a great extent their probability of being hired. In line with Weber's work, each position in the department has a title which is representative of their level in the hierarchy (Pace & Faules, 1994, p. 30-31). Strict self discipline is praised and there are many policies ...
- 26249: Descartes' Skeptical Argument and Reponses by Bouwsma and Malcolm
- ... by Normon Malcolm. I would like to examine the significant points each has made in their criticisms and then discuss why I believe each argument is damaging but not sufficient to refute Descartes' argument. Bouwsma's criticism focuses on Descartes' idea of an evil genius creating an "illusory" world. His intent was to prove that Descartes' ideas of illusion and deception were misleading. First, Bouwsma set out to define "illusions" and ... New evidence could turn up in the future that could drastically alter that figure. This statement that is considered fact could be disputed. But what about a statement of near certain belief, such as Malcolm's example: "There is a heart in my body."10 This statement seems impossible to deny, but what if one were presented with incontrovertible evidence to the contrary. Eventually, the person would come to believe the ... it does not prove that the evil genius does not exist. It is as impossible to prove that the evil genius does not exist as it is to prove that God does exist. Also Bouwsma's criticism focused primarily on the evil genius example and did not take into account the rest of Descartes' argument. There is a lot more to Descartes' argument than that particular point. Descartes only brought ...
- 26250: Strengths and Weaknesses of the Roman Catholic Religion in Modern Society
- ... Hinduism for instance do not believe this. For everything you do wrong you will be punished. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, if not in this life, then the next. Hindu's also believe that punishing the body is part of the path to salvation. Christianity is nothing like this. Many Christians live in high©class society. Christianity is one of the most appealing in that any ... a guilt upon his sub©conscience, man can never be truly happy. Yet another strength with the Christian faith is that it is one of the more flexible religions. Under the leadership of the pope(s), the Catholic faith has evolved with modern society and become a more "reasonable" faith. Such practices as not eating meat on Fridays, and so forth, have been abolished as the Christian faith has bent to ... was written much later, after Jesus' death. Therefore the stories contained have been transferred by word of mouth, which has certainly been distorted and exaggerated. The Shroud of Turin used to be the Christian religion's artifact which was believed to be the original shroud that Jesus was wrapped in when he was buried and therefore solid proof he existed. Recently due to modern carbon dating, this "artifact" has been ...
