- 7281: The Press and Media Cause Rampant Swaying of the Election Votes Through Their Opinions and Reports
- ... to publicly slander and deface the character of their opposition, his ideals, and even the innocent people related to him. These concepts did not start recently, or even in our century. The press and media's views affected the early presidencies too. Let's start with the first president elected by vote, John Adams. John Adams took the office of president in the year 1797. He was a close admirer of Washington and was sometimes said to be Washington's shadow (Presidency of John Adams, Ralph Adams Brown 1975). He and the Federalists believed that nothing the Anti-federalists and their supporting press could say would be enough to shake their control. Yet it ...
- 7282: The Life And Times Of The Man
- ... the study of sound and the mechanics of speech, inspired in part by the acoustic experiments of German physicist Hermann Von Helmholtz (1821-1894), which gave Bell the idea of telegraphing speech. When young Bell's two brothers died of tuberculosis, Melville Bell took his remaining family to the healthier climate of Canada in 1870. From there, Aleck Bell journeyed to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1871 and joined the staff of the ... The following year, Bell opened his own school in Boston for training teachers of the deaf; in 1873 he became a professor of vocal physiology at Boston University, and he also tutored private pupils. Bell's interest in speech and communication led him to investigate the transmission of sound over wires. In particular, he experimented with development of the harmonic telegraph --a device that could send multiple messages at the same ... Sanders, fathers of two of his deaf pupils backed Bell financially in his investigations. Early in 1874, Bell met Thomas A. Watson (1854-1934), a young machinist at a Boston electrical shop. Watson became Bell's indispensable assistant, bringing to Bell's experiments the crucial ingredient that had been lacking--his technical expertise in electrical engineering. Together the two men spent endless hours experimenting. Although Bell formed the basic concept ...
- 7283: Who Was Jesus?
- ... Hebrew Scriptures; however, constantly breaks the Sabbath (Matt 12:13 and others), and gives VERY flimsy and unconvincing explanations for it. I am not sure what his message was in those actions. Perhaps he didn't care? In general, Matthew was a good, entertaining story to read, with a very dramatic ending, and great character development (a little sarcastic humor here)! I was very surprised to find much of the Book ... with a little less detail, and a few stories omitted. Jesus goes a little overboard on the parables! Most of the parables needed to be explained to his disciples, and some of them I wasn't able to understand either! Although many parables have a good, inspiring morals to them, I would question Jesus as to if they were an effective way to witness to common people. Even today, too many ... know, historically, that Pilate was NOT a friend to the Jews? After reading these books, I get the feeling that Jesus was here to save the Jewish people, not the gentiles (like most of today's Christians). I can't find the spot, but Jesus seemed reluctant to pay attention to a sick gentile, but finally healed her because of her faith. Yes, he is the king of the Jews, ...

- ... Pap as a symbol for the radical non-conformist ideas that attack and ridicule the, so called, established myths of society. This is another very important point to understand because Huck likes going against society s standards. Huck says, Two months or more run along, and my clothes got to be all rags and dirt, and I didn t see how I d ever got to like it so well at the widow s and have old Miss Watson pecking at you all the time.

- 7286: Science and Ethics
- ... to accomplish. These ambitions were to rid the world of disease, bring the dead back to life, and creating life. Victor did not think about the consequences of going through with his experiment. He didn’t take into account if these objectives were morally right or not. Victor wouldn’t let anything intrude on his outlandish experiment of creating life- not his wife, his teachers, or his own conscience. He kept going on with his experiment for 2 long years and finally one of his ambitions were reached, he created a life. But it wasn’t until the creature killed everyone Victor cared about when Victor started to realize what he had done was wrong. Victor realized that he never should have tried to play God. There is a fine ...
- 7287: Walt Disney
- Walt Disney Unfortunately for later generations, “…Walt Disney’s earliest drawings were not preserved. Since paper was scarce on the farm Walt resorted to drawing on toilet paper. For obvious reasons, those drawings did not survive” (Cole 13).

Walt Disney’s life began on December 5, 1901; Walt was one of four boys and one girl. When Walt was a toddler, his family lived on an apple farm outside of Marcline, Missouri (Montgomery 7).

Through continuing his love for music - especially calypso - Farrakhan gained local fame and, in 1955, was invited to a Savior's Day convention to hear Elijah Muhammad (head of the Nation of Islam of the time). That was a turning point that saw him convert to the Nation of Islam (NOI). His natural gifts allowed him ... representative for Elijah Muhammad. His popularity spread, even outside of NOI, with blacks from the around the country listening him, promoting his message of black rage. (Alexander, Pp. 132- 135) However, three years Elijah Muhammad's death, Farrakhan left the mainstream Islamic group and resurrected the Nation of Islam again in 1978. He then preached its members to his new interpretation of the old Nation beliefs: "that separatism is salvation; that black right is righteous; that the poor are not mere pariahs; that prisoners are potential princes; and that black folks are God's real chosen people." There was the promise of the transition of race into the language of black self-determination and a resistance to white supremacy. (Alexander, P. 136) Farrakhan's Beliefs incorporate the ideas ...
- 7289: The Storm by Kate Chopin
- The Storm by Kate Chopin Introduction In Kate Chopin's short story "The Storm", the narrative surrounds the brief extramarital affair of two individuals, Calixta and Alcée. Many critics do not see the story as a condemnation of infidelity, but rather as an affirmation of ... and passion cojoined with a condemnation of its repression by the constraints of society. The Awakening If one is to attempt to interpret "The Storm", it becomes necessary to examine the conditions surrounding the story's genesis. The story was written in 1898, very shortly after Chopin had completed "The Awakening", "the boldest treatment so far in American literature of the sensuous, independant woman" (Seyersted 1969, p164). "The Storm" was not published, however, until well after Chopin's death, doubtless because of the as-yet unparalleled sensuousness of the story and its characters.
