Milk demonstrated to Cleve Jones the responsibility that every person has as a citizen to help one's government and society grow and become better. 2. Harvey Milk guided the "boy from Minnesota" and helped him understand that no matter how anyone judges him, he is not in any way less than others simply because he is gay. 3. Milk showed Scott Smith that it is all right to be the first person to start a group to challenge something in politics, and that that group will soon gain popularity and appreciation. 3. Identify three (3) scenes from the film that support your thesis statement. Briefly explain.: 1.

...illnesses. Increasingly the human experience is medicalized, and then mitigated with a cocktail of psychoactive drugs. Today, 10% of Americans over the age of six take antidepressants. Human emotions are increasingly seen, by both the public and medical professionals, as something that should be fixed rather than understood. In short, it is becoming harder and harder to be classified as mentally “normal.” So, how did we get here? In order to understand this troubling phenomenon, we must look to the 18th century experiment in individualism, which constitutes the root of psychoanalytical practice, a practice that today’s psychoanalysts are rapidly distancing themselves from. Here, I will focus on two highly influential texts, Princess de Cleves by Madame de Lafayette and The Confessions by Jean Jacques...

...During the Wars of Roses, a European royal house of Welsh origins rose to power, a dynasty, which rules England for the next one-hundred and eighteen years. The powerful and most well known dynasty is the House of Tudor. Henry VII became king in 1485 and took Elizabeth of York as his wife.They had four children Prince Arthur of Wales, Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII, and Mary Tudor. Henry VIII was born June 28, 1491 at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich. Being the second born son Henry was raised and educated to take a secular role in life, most likely as the Archbishop of Canterbury. His grandmother Margaret Beaufort supervised his early childhood education. Henry was reported to excel at book learning as well as athletics required by those apart of the aristocratic society. But even as well educated, handsome, and athletic as Henry was his father continued to favor the elder Prince Arthur. When Henry had reach the age of 10 he took part in his brothers arranged wedding to the daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. His job was to escort the bride; the bride was Catherine of Aragon who was later to be Henry VIII first wife. Shortly after the marriage, Arthur died on April 2, 1502 from night-sweats. This left Henry the rightful heir to the English throne right before his 11th birthday. Fourteen months after Arthur’s death, Catherine of Aragon was betrothal to Henry VIII, and then he was too young to marry. As Henry VIII grew up his father became less willing to...

...reason for Henry sending diplomats and insisting on a delegation which included Melanchthon. The fact that he never arrives in England, combined with Henry’s personal rejection of the Lutheran Apology reveals that there was a definitive limit to religious curiosity as a motivation for foreign policy. McEntegart openly admits that this issue was secondary to the security of England, with the marriage to Anne of Cleves ultimately being an arrangement designed to undermine the Empire. Nonetheless the very reason that there was never a direct alliance with the Schmalkaldeners was because they had failed to meet his theological standards. Furthermore the fact he was willing to agree to much of the Augsburg confession demonstrates the importance of religion as a motivator in foreign policy. Nevertheless security tended to be more influential when the two factors conflicted. The end of significant relations with the Schmalkaldic league occurred in 1540. This coincided with the end of the foreign invasion threat, the personal embarrassment of the divorce with the Lutheran Anne of Cleves as well as the fall of Cromwell. Graves attribute this change in foreign policy to be motivated by the change in the security situation. McEntegart largely agrees, but emphasises the fall of Cromwell as ending a factional influence that had been affecting the foreign policy regarding the Schmalkaldic league, in order to further their own religious goals. Before this point there are multiple correspondences...

...member of parliament. In 1523, Cromwell became a member of parliament, where he greatly extended the power of the house. During this time, he also started to dissolve monasteries to help build a college and school for Wolsey. Cromwell is thought to have been responsible for drafting the Supplication of the Commons against the Ordinaries in 1532. This parliamentary petition resurrected the protests against church courts originally made in 1529 in the attack on Wolsey; it was used to secure the submission of the clergy, which finally subjected canon law to secular review. Cromwell took charge of the drafting of the Act in Restraint of Appeals to Rome (1533) and the Act of Supremacy (1534). Cromwell persuaded Henry to agree to marry Anne of Cleves, a German princess, in hope to secure support against the Catholic Holy Roman Emperor, and strengthen the bonds of Protestantism. The marriage failed Unlike Wolsey and his predecessors, Cromwell was never Lord Chancellor; he can be regarded as the first chief minister of a new type, a layman basing his influence on the office of principal secretary. In 1536 he was ennobled as Baron Cromwell of Oakham, in the county of Rutland, and in 1540 he was created Earl of Essex....

...Prior to the 1700s, some of the first American colonists were separatists. Separatists were Puritans who left England to escape religious persecution. The first were those on the Mayflower who landed on what is now called Plymouth Rock in 1620. One Puritan who fled around this same time was John Lothrop. Lothrop, along with his church congregation, left the English county of Kent and landed in southern Massachusetts in 1634. Unfortunately, disagreement split the congregation causing some to move to Martha’s Vineyard. Martha’s Vineyard is the earliest and perhaps the most unique record of a Deaf community in northern America. Martha’s Vineyard is an island off the coast of Massachusetts. What made it do unique was that nearly everyone there...

...| World view | | | | | Word count 603 | Te Ao Māori For Māori, the sun rising in the east, moving slowly across the sky and setting in the west, signifies the birth and growth of mana or power, throughout the world. For many, it is a symbol of birth, life and death, resurrected daily, as a reminder of our existence. Māori believe that everything is interrelated, be it people, fish, animals, birds, trees, even the mountains and the weather. These relationships were told in various kōrero tawhito, or stories of the past and are referred to as whakapapa, meaning to lay one thing upon another (Barlow, 1994). Everything has a whakapapa, a genealogical descent of all living things, from the atua, the gods to the present time (Barlow, 1994). These relationships helped Māori to act accordingly and to understand the world they lived in. For Māori, their world view changed when they first arrived in Aotearoa New Zealand, and had to adapt to life in a new world. Their diet changed dramatically as their normal diet relied heavily on plants and vegetables. Here in Aotearoa New Zealand there was an abundance of meat and fish. The crops they normally grew, were not used to the climate. They had to learn what plants they could eat and grow. The Māori world view changed even more with the arrival of whalers, their first contact with European people. The introduction of disease had a dramatic effect on Māori causing many deaths. Europeans partnering with Māori women, leading...

...Entrepreneurship Leadership Abstract The purpose of this paper is to inform about the common elements found in the thinking of Case, Kouzes, and Drucker about the entrepreneurial. Include the new definition of entrepreneurial leadership presented in Understanding Entrepreneurial Leadership in today’s Dynamic Markets. Describe what type of organization a transactional, transformational, and authentic leader would thrive in the most, as well as which type of leader would thrive the least. Evaluate and explain the resources available through Small Business Administration (SBA) and SCORE, and how new entrepreneurs can take advantage of these. Also include a list of leadership “best practices” according with the author of this paper that would apply to the greatest small and large business. Entrepreneurship Leadership Entrepreneurship leadership is defined as a social influence process that facilitates the discovery, evaluation, and also the exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities. Entrepreneurship as a concept is a symbiotic bond between the creation of a new venture and playing the role of entrepreneurship as a leader-founder. The main idea presented in all the sources points out on the fact whether a leader is made or born. Entrepreneurship in the past research and studies was based on trait theory and the focus was only on the individual. However, Kouzes pointed out that leadership as a whole fails if the leader does not understand the people they work along...

...They had one daughter together named, Clarissa Brown Pike, which was named after her mother, and later married John Cleves Symmes Harrison, one of the sons of President William Henry Harrison. Zebulon Pike then went off into the military, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant of infantry in 1799, and was then promoted to first lieutenant later that same year. Pike’s military career included working on payroll and logistics at a series of frontier posts, including Fort Bellefontaine. General James Wilkinson became his mentor. In 1805, Wilkinson ordered Pike to find the source of the Mississippi River, so Pike then traveled into northern Louisiana Territory which was newly purchased from France. 100 some years later, France released official records showing General Wilkinson received personal trade concessions and could be labeled a spy for Spain at the...

...general are following their procedures, then they have no reason to fear being filmed. Outfitting police with body and dashboard cameras is costly, but this is pretty much the only downside. Body cameras go for about $400 per camera, while dashboard camera systems are significantly more expensive (BGGSL Law). However, the cost of these cameras is not a big deal when compared to the rate of police violence in America. It is obvious that things can’t stay like they are right now. Police are still uncomfortable with being labelled as abusers, but also refuse to just stop killing Black people. Just a few days ago, a mural in New Jersey memorializing Mike Brown was ordered to be painted over by police, who said it made them ‘uncomfortable’ (Cleve Bryan, CBS). It is clear that in general, the police cannot be trusted not to use excessive force against people. For this reason, and also to protect their safety, regulated video surveillance of police is necessary. ...

...Danny Meiselman Intro to Art 08/30/14 The Monuments Men: A Post Viewing Analysis The story of the Monuments men has been called the greatest treasure hunt in history. It is a story of a World War II platoon made up entirely of 7 art experts, who president Roosevelt assigned to be in charge of rescuing the countless priceless pieces of art stolen by the Nazis, and return them to their rightful owners or Museums. The president was convinced to do so by a man named Frank Stokes, who learned that Hitler was stealing are great works of art in order to store them in his personal museum. In the movie, Frank Stokes (George Clooney) is the leader of the troop they call the Monuments Men. He convinces President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to let him and his men try to save the thousands of years of culture that was at risk of being lost forever. His argument was that if you take away a culture’s greatest achievements, then that culture will be forgotten forever, and it will be as if it never existed. As Clooney elegantly puts it in the movie, “While we must win this war, we should also remember the high price that will be paid if the very foundation of modern society is destroyed.” It is the task of Stokes to recruit six more men, all museum curators and art historians, to accompany him in this dangerous mission across enemy lines. After he gets his team together, they are put through basic training with the rest of the infantry. When they were in training, they did not have the...
