...Before the nineteenth century, maternal instinct was considered the only tool essential for successful childrearing. Beginning in the 20th century the science of child development was first established, and with each subsequent generation new theories are introduced about the most appropriate way to raise children. This scientific development brought about the deliverance of an abundant amount of child rearing advice that could be found in anything from books to magazines, journals, and public health pamphlets. This surplus of often-contradictory information frequently caused undue parental anxiety and stress. One 1920’s mother who was overwhelmed by all the wisdom confessed, “I just try to do what you say, but I am a nervous wreck just trying to stay calm.” Although parental pressure and anxiety has been seen as a recurrent grievance through every generation, stress levels have progressively increased to what they are now. An analysis of the child rearing advice given in the early part of the 20th century and that of the new millennium revealed the following things: a steady progression from an authoritarian type of discipline to that of a more authoritative type, the emergence of a paternal role in child rearing, the apparent difference in personality traits of adults that were raised under particular parenting methods, and several distinct reasons for the change in the advice being given. Even before the start of the seventeenth century, experts were concerned with how, if...

...Architectural Comparison Paper Jacob Willrich 11/20/13 General Humanities Architectural Comparison Throughout the centuries architecture has changed dramatically. Time is not the only factor of why buildings look so different; location/culture is also a reason for buildings shape and design. Technology available is one major aspect of how buildings are designed and built. Century after century humans have came up with new ways to design structures, in the beginning they were built with sticks and stones and now they are built with man made steel and other strong substances that allows us to build roughly 1,700 feet into the air. Roman Architecture is the second longest lasting structures, only behind the Greek’s structures, that are still standing. The Roman Era was from 500 B.C.E. to 500 C.E. The most significant architectural structure from the Roman Era would have to be the aqueducts they built throughout their cities. These aqueducts delivered over forty million gallons of water to each of their cities. The Roman’s used arches in almost everything they made. They improved the design of them and placed arches all next to each other to form tunnels for their aqueducts. Some other architectural structures of importance from the Roman Era are the Circus Maximus, Colosseum, and the Pantheon. The Pantheon inspired more works than any other Greco-Roman monument. The Early Renaissance from the years 1300 to 1600 was devoted to the ideas of Roman structures and...

...How To: Use Comparing Strategies DQ3: HELPING STUDENTS PRACTICE AND DEEPEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF NEW KNOWLEDGE Element 17 Examining Similarities and Differences Comparing is the process of identifying similarities and differences between ideas or things. A variety of strategies can be used when designing comparison activities. We will discuss sentence stems, Venn diagrams, double bubble diagrams and comparison matrices. Sentence Stem Comparisons This strategy can be used to have the students compare and contrast people, characters, places, events, concepts or processes. The comparisons can be general or specific. Marzano’s Becoming a Reflective Teacher, gives the following examples: General – House cats are similar to lions because ____________________. House cats are different than lions because _______________________. Specific – Sherlock Holmes and Gandalf are both characters who enjoy solving mysteries, but they are different because ____________________________. After a gym teacher has provided a series of critical-input experiences on baseball and fast pitch softball, he might assign a sentence stem assignment comparing and contrasting the two sports. A completed example can be found in Marzano’s A Handbook for the Art and Science of Teaching and looks something like this. Baseball and fast pitch softball are similar because they both… • Have 4 bases in a diamond shape • Have 9 defensive players. • Have the same ball/strike counts: 4 balls = walk & 3 strikes = out ...

Name | Genevieve O’Reilly | Student ID # | A001529414 | Subject | Financial Management | Subject Code | 712FMGT | AQF Level | 8 | Subject Credit Points | 10 | Word Count | 2103 | Executive summary The paper attempts to analyse and compare two listed companies who produce uranium oxide and what would be the best company to invest in. As the companies have different year ends, the 2014 annual financial statements were used to draw comparisons and analyses. The industry itself does not have a trend analysis on which to draw as many uranium producers are owned by companies with large portfolios. The limitations to this paper are noted in that investors should not make assumptions based on just a two-year comparison, especially within a market that has proven to be volatile and subject to small variations. Assignment topic Your task is to compare and contrast the historical (for the last 2 years) and expected future performance of a listed company and a competitor in a similar line of business, and present your findings in the form of a report which will cover both qualitative and quantitative performance elements in a logical cohesive format. The qualitative component of your discussion should include (but is not constrained to): * A brief background on each company including how they are placed within the industry * A brief overview of the recent stock price movements for both companies * The impact of general...

...IWT Task 1 Comparison of Art Nouveau with Fauvism Sandra Robbins Student ID: 000341001 Western Governors University RN to BSN online Comparison of Art Nouveau with Fauvism A1. Earlier Historical Art Period Art Nouveau was developed during the late 19th century and early 20th century. During that time there was increased industrialism and increase in technology. It was a time of social unrest, oppression, and environmental pollution. The artists of this style reverted back to nature with the discovery of new plants and animals. They reacted against the earlier styles. ("Gateway modern age," 2001). The artists used a sensual theme with ornamental details which included “S” curves and willowy lines ("Short History, n.d.). A2. Later Historical Art Period Fauvism was also developed during the late 19th century and early 20th century and the Industrial Revolution also affected the artists. They had to deal with the pollution and social unrest. They rejected tradition but did so in a more dramatic form. Fauvism looked to nature for inspiration but in much bolder colors and more abstract form. The artists used pure unmixed colors in combination with their own personal expression. It showed the world what color could do, how it can change meaning, create feeling, and cause commotion ("Fauvism," para. 3). Fauvism broke down the traditional styles and paved the way for new. A3.

During the 80’s, when _________________ was published, being in a fandom was not cool. People were not openly discussing fandoms amongst each other, that was held only for very close friends. In comparison, today theater fandoms are very open to acknowledging others in the fandom. Fans openly wear Wicked shirts or have Phantom of the Opera memorabilia in their rooms. Due to this fans of musicals have become very open about uniting for a certain cause. This has been seen within the Hamilton community quite often.

...and the eras in which they have evolved. Within this document the evolution of today’s prison systems will be discussed, along with the complications of prison overcrowding. Finally the comparison of today’s prison to the prisons of the past. The penitentiary era changed using the Quaker’s system converting the Walnut Street jail into use instead of using the older method of stocks, flogging, and public humiliation. This was a more humane way to deal with the individuals who chose to break the laws set before them. The inmates were able to work on crafts to keep themselves occupied and their sanity level was maintainable. The mass prison era changed the ways of the jail to a prison in which there were more solitude and less rehabilitation. Inmates were not allowed to speak to make contact with each other, but vocational job training was introduced. Not until the reformatory era was the idea of education introduced into prisons to allow children and adults to become educated with incarcerated. Also the ability for early release for good behavior was introduced. The industrial era introduced prison work labor. Inmates within the prison system would create goods for the public for a minimal wage. The punitive era did away with the industrial aspect of prisons. The ability for education became a luxury, and maximum security prisons were built. As the restrictions became harsher the more riots and escape attempts there were. After the punitive era ended the treatment era began...

...Desire can take many forms; romantic, familial, material, spiritual and emotional. It’s treatment within literature has been widely explored, as demonstrated in the novel The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald and Sonnets from the Portuguese, a collection of poetry from Elizabeth Barrett Browning. These texts convey the notion of individual desire contrastingly and only through comparison can the reader understand their distinctive qualities. The same issues of desire arise within Gatsby and EBB but it is the context that discerns their importance. EBB wrote her sonnets during the romantic era of Victorian society; consequently her treatment of desire was influenced by romanticism, gender expectations and social hierarchy. Her subversion of these influences are unique to her period and through comparison with The Great Gatsby, readers can see how distinct this quality is. Fitzgerald portrays his jazz age America as a spiritual wasteland; a lack of moral values led to the characters to desire the vain values of money, power and status. Thus, desire is seen as a motivating force towards such negative ideals, personified in Daisy and Gatsby’s relationship. Gatsby...

S incarceration rate to northern large metropolitan areas and a comparison of Alexander’s evidence and statistics to Texas incarceration rates. The Southern strategy of appealing to white peoples’ fears about African Americans to blunt the gains of the Civil Rights movement, the Rockefeller legislation along with Reagan’s “War on Drugs” have led to dramatic increases in the incarceration rate of the U.S. that probably was initiated with the passage of the Rockefeller laws in New York in 1973. In 1972, prison population was less than 350,000 as compared to more than 2 million today.19 Other states followed New York’s lead in establishing harsher penalties for possession, distribution, and sale of drugs. By 2010, 410,000 people were employed as prison guards.20.

...cover of the News week magazine is photo of an African man Adam and woman Eve in what appears to be the Garden of Eden. The cover of this magazine not only conforms to the ideology that the first man was African and thus, all other races came from the black man, but it also suggests that Eden was in fact located somewhere in Africa, man’s original place of birth. As we continue to examine the articles presented several Articles really struck a chord with me. “The Earth from Birth”, “Skulls in Ethiopia Is Linked To Earliest Man”, and “Fossils May Be Earliest Human Link”. In the Article” The Earth from Birth”, it describes the development of the earth into five lengths of time, the Archeozoic era, Ptoterzoic era, the Paleozoic era, the Mesozoic era and the Cenozoic era. Each of these eras played an important role with how the earth became populated with Microorganisms to large animals and reptiles. After reading this article a few questions came to mind, the first question is where did these organism come from? Did they always existed, and if they did, then if they were created who did was it God? Or were they a result of the so called “Big Bang theory? The next question is how were they able to sustain life? Where did they get their food...

...The modern Civil Rights movement in the United States was a pivotal period marked by significant strides toward racial equality. Historians have often drawn parallels between this era and the period immediately following the Civil War, known as Reconstruction, prompting some to refer to the modern Civil Rights movement as the "Second Reconstruction." This comparison highlights both the enduring struggle for African American civil rights and the efforts to address the legacy of racial oppression in America. The Reconstruction era sought to establish civil rights for African Americans through constitutional amendments and federal legislation. However, these gains were short-lived as they faced significant backlash from Southern states and white...
