...2014 Was Andrew Jackson suitable for being awarded the honor of being on the twenty dollar bill? This discussion talks about what made Andrew Jackson a respectable human being and President as well as what did not. During the 1820’s into the 1830’s Jackson had accumulated many American supporters who helped him become situated in the country’s most glorified position. Jackson served two terms as President of the United States. When someone is elected as President for a second term they are most likely doing something right in the eyes of countless people. Andrew Jackson was certainly not the perfect President or a human being in general but there are many great things he did for this country. Jackson found himself to be a great political figure in earlier times before becoming President. In the 1820’s Jackson became one the forerunners for the Democratic-Republicans. Towards the end of the decade Andrew Jackson established what was known as Jacksonian Democracy with supporters all over. “Jacksonian democracy was an effort to control the power of the capitalist groups.” Jackson’s supporters eventually broke off into their own political party called Democrats. This was the beginning of the oldest political party ever established and also the beginning of the second party system. Jackson’s idea of the Democracy system was to “provide equal protection and equal benefits to all its white male citizens and favor no region or class over another.” This shows how Jackson...

...it is no doubt that the war was bloody and the Indian fight for survival was fierce. Nevertheless, these tribes were a people that joined until the very end. Native Americans have played a major role in the history of the United States and its growth. While they struggled against the taking of their land and fought many battles, there were those in battle that sought peace and only wanted to protect their people. There were marked differences in the culture and religions of all the tribes as well as differences between them and the white man. Yet they were some remarkable men and women that came from those tribes. Native Americans have a unique relationship with the history of the United States. Creek Indians The Creek Indians were a great part of history for early Georgia and Alabama. They lived there most of the early days and during the colonial period. While the Indians outnumbered the colonist, they also owned more land and enslaved the African people. By the year of 1760, the Creeks had become a minority population, and by the 1800 they had given their land to the new state. Christopher Columbus arrived in the America’s to find the entire Southeastern area filled with the Indian villages and societies. Soon these natives found themselves devastated by outbreaks of disease not known to them. The small pox infection wiped out a majority of the native population. This was something that the natives had no knowledge of and surely was unprepared for the consequences...

...Defying Society Perhaps one of the most popular books ever written by Mark Twain is Huckleberry Finn, reflecting a time of racial discrimination whose language could arguably be deemed “ inappropriate”. The Scarlett Letter published in 1850 was considered at the time sexual and overtly offensive. Pablo Picasso illustrates his view of women in the painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, where five naked prostitutes obscene postures are anything but traditional. The Color Purple directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel written by Alice Walker, displays a plot that depicts the hardships African American women went through in the 1900’s concerning racism, prejudices, and poverty. All of these works of art have been deemed as socially offensive, improper, or distasteful, however these are the exact reasons why they are so significant. Artistic endeavors, including film, do need socially unacceptable content in order to evoke emotion, fit into a specific genre, and to present familiar material in an unconventional way. Unpleasant images are a form of artistic symbolism that creates a story without any words. The audience can digest the meaning and emotion behind what is on screen without having to be told. For example, American History X displays racism through the use of symbols and colors when Derek, one of the main characters, steps out on his front porch half-naked showing his bare white skin covered in dark tattoos of swastikas and white-power...

McDonald’s has been a staple in the restaurant business for as long as most of us can remember. It has achieve around the globe, but not without overcoming a fair amount of challenges in its pursuit of the title “King of Fast Food”. The basis for the entire business is ethical, truthful and dependable. It takes time to build reputation. McDonald’s has developed a successful strategy for operating their fast-food enterprise across the globe. This strategy has been one that is developed based on existing operation as well as the local cultures and customs that make each McDonald’s relevant to the international markets in which it operates. However, McDonald’s could not rely merely on its brand success and simply run their international locations. They needed to attune their brand to the needs and wants of the local customers in each of the markets they had entered. Within this awareness about brands and brand development, McDonald’s faced a challenge that needed some serious considerations in order to insure its chances of success in international markets. Marketers need to be aware of the cultural and societal connotations the brand is taking on and the way these are changing or staying the same as norms of interacting are changing or staying the same as norms of interacting are changing...

...John Keats John Keats (/ˈkiːts/ 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his work having been in publication for only four years before his death.[1] Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his lifetime, his reputation grew after his death, and by the end of the 19th century, he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2] The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. This is typical of romantic poets, as they aimed to accentuate extreme emotion through the emphasis of natural imagery. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. 1 1.1 Biography Life mask of Keats by Benjamin Haydon, 1816 Early life John Clarke’s school in Enfield, close to his grandparents’ house. The small school had a liberal outlook and a progressive curriculum more modern than the larger, more prestigious schools.[11] In the family atmosphere at Clarke’s, Keats developed an interest in classics and history, which would stay with him throughout his short life.

... Pauketat Excerpt More information 1 Civilization in North America This wasn’t a chiefdom; it was a kingdom! Robert Carneiro1 “Civilization” is not a word typically associated with ancient North America. The cities, stone pyramids, and writing systems of the Old World, Mexico, or Peru are not generally thought to have existed in the pre-Columbian Mississippi valley. However, if we define a civilization as a kind of political culture or as a great tradition associated with popu- lated administrative centers and spread across some portion of a conti- nent, then it is clear that there was a pre-Columbian civilization in the Mississippi valley, or at least the early stages of one. Archaeologists often call it “Mississippian culture” and refer to the many peoples of the time simply as “Mississippians.” There were political and religious centers associated with the Mississip- pian civilization, the largest of which was Cahokia, along the middle por- tion of the Mississippi (Fig. 1.1).2And there were historical effects em- anating from each Mississippian...

...movements. Be sure to identify key players in both movements. (5 page maximum, single spaced.) The scientific management and the social person movement differ noticeably. In its very initial stages, engineers had become vital to the development and installing advances in both technology and power. They were to become a prime source of information about management practices. One strong example would be Henry Towne as it was he whom called for engineers to look beyond the technical side of manufacturing and become involved in the economizing of efforts within the factory itself. The greatest player in the scientific management era being Frederick W. Taylor whom was a central figure in the development of management thought. Taylor gave a push and provided credibility to the idea of management. Taylor and others promoted systematic management with its popularized label of scientific management. It was characterized by advancing technology, market growth, labor unrest, and a lack of knowledge about management, industry in the United States was ripe for methods, systems, and better ways to produce and market products. To meet this need, Taylor provided a voice. Taylor's book 'Shop Management' provided the text for the teaching of industrial management to a growing body of college students who sought positions in industry. Frederick Taylor’s theory focuses on individual worker-machine relationships in manufacturing plants, while Henri Fayol focuses on the...

The pH scale goes from 0 - 14 with a pH less than 7 described as acidic and a pH greater than 7 described as basic or alkaline. One can use pH paper (litmus) or indicator solutions, such as methyl orange and phenolphthalein, to determine whether substances are alkaline or acidic. f Strong acids and weak acids differ in the number of molecules that react or dissociate to form ions. For a strong acid, a vast majority of the molecules form ions, while only a small proportion of ions are formed from a weak acid. f Dibasic and tribasic acids can form both normal and acid salts. f Soluble salts can be prepared from the action of an acid on a metal,...
