...Prohibition Timeline& Facts • 1920: The manufacture, sale, and transportation of liquor (more than 0.5% alcohol by volumn) was made illegal via the 18th Amendment to the Constitution • Ends in 1933 • Owning any item designed to manufacture alcohol was illegal and it set specific fines and jail sentences for violating Prohibition. • Loophole: nothing about the act included DRINKING alcohol • Loophole: Since Prohibition went into effect a full year after the 18th Amendment's ratification, many people bought cases of then- legal alcohol and stored them for personal use . • Loophole: Alcohol consumption was ok if it was prescribed by a doctor. Needless to say, large numbers of new prescriptions were written for alcohol. * Stockmarket crash changes public opinion of alcohol consumption because legal manufacturing would create jobs The Gibson Girl The Gibson Girl was tall, slender, and full-chested. She had an exaggerated S-curve torso hape achieved by wearing a corset. Her neck was thin and her hair piled high upon her head, with curls framing her face.

...Your memo must be short, direct and clear. In fact, for this class, unless otherwise stated: memos must be no more than one page in length (not counting exhibits). This will aid the reader in processing the critical information quickly. The memo is like a sales pitch – you have only a brief instant to make an impression and convince the reader. A few suggestions: ♦ Put the recommendation (conclusion, suggestion or result) at the top ♦ Discuss only the most important reasons supporting you recommendation ♦ Do not bother with any fancy formatting – format above is just fine Organize the Memo Organization accomplishes two things: it helps the reader understand the material and it facilitates subsequent review of the memo. Good organization allows the reader to skip what he or she already knows and focus on what is new. A few suggestions: ♦ Use headings and font changes to delineate parts, reference exhibit numbers when you discuss analysis in the memo. ♦ Use bullet points when listing a set of facts that support a given point ♦ The memo is for your reasoning and the development of your position, a comprehensive description of what you did in your analysis should be in the exhibits. ♦ You need to have text to guide the reader (do not present just a list of facts without an organizing framework), at the...

...The Museum of Tolerance was an emotional and extremely eye-opening experience. The museum itself is filled with heaps of educational history, striving to reach a multitude of humanist issues by taking its visitors on a journey through time. Upon arrival we were instructed to walk up a spiraling white staircase, the walls lined with black and white portraits of holocaust survivors, leading all the way up to the Anne Frank exhibit. We were prompted with a brief introductory film on the Frank family then directed downstairs into a dimly lit hallway. Immediately, I am drawn to the walls that’re constructed with clothing. As you go further into the exhibit, going deeper into Anne’s story, the clothes gradually become dull and drab, then shifting into prisoner uniforms, and ultimately ending with all black clothing. The clothing served as a representation of the drastic changes that occurred in response to the war. The exhibit is a voice and light guided tour, with the voice reading excerpts from Anne’s diary accompanying the several photographs, artifacts, and information posted along the walls. The voice leads us through a door (which was an exact replica of the bookcase that enclosed the Annex) into a small theatre which showed a film that captured Anne’s uniquely positive view on the world within her confined circumstances. After the Anne Frank exhibit we stumbled upon one of the newest exhibits which featured the diverse lives of Maya Angelou, Billy Crystal, and Carlos Santana...

...According to Charles Darwin “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” One best way to be adaptable to change is learning all the amazing things that have marked the scientific evolution. You can learn about these things in some books, researches. However, what is better than a museum to see with his own eyes the evidences of all these evolutions? The Tellus Museum, situated in Georgia, is engaged to educate, and inspire visitors to make scientific connections through dynamic exhibits and enriching experiences. It is a Smithsonian Institution-affiliate natural history and science museum. Tellus was founded as the Weinman Mineral Museum in 1983, which closed in 2007 and was reopened as the Tellus Science Museum in 2008. If you decide to go to this museum, your tour will be focus on four permanent galleries. The first one is the Weinman Mineral Gallery to discover how the Earth was formed billions of years ago and to walk among hundreds of beautiful gems and minerals. Featured exhibits include more than fifty cases with a variety of gems, gold, and some Georgia’s most prized minerals. The second one is the Fossil Gallery.

From today’s generation, creators: William Wu and Jeff Yang combined archives of comics that served as racial propaganda during World War II. The exhibit opens with a large billboard with Marvels and Monsters written all over it. As you walk into the exhibition, each character is lit up by light bulbs hanging from the ceiling and followed by a description below. With unique character names like: Guru, Brain, Temptress, Manipulator, Alien, Kamikaze, Brute, and Lotus Blossom go beyond the typical Asian American stereotype.

...role of a museum is to entertain. Museums are tourist attractions, and their aim is to exhibit a collection of interesting objects that many people will want to see. The average visitor may become bored if he or she has to read or listen to too much educational content, so museums often put more of an emphasis on enjoyment rather than learning. This type of museum is designed to be visually spectacular, and may have interactive activities or even games as part of its exhibitions. On the other hand, some people argue that museums should focus on education. The aim of any exhibition should be to teach visitors something that they did not previously know. Usually this means that the history behind the museum’s exhibits needs to be explained, and this can be done in various ways. Some museums employ professional guides to talk to their visitors, while other museums offer headsets so that visitors can listen to detailed commentary about the exhibition. In this way, museums can play an important role in teaching people about history, culture, science and many other aspects of life. In conclusion, it seems to me that a good museum should be able to offer an interesting, enjoyable and educational experience so that people can have fun and learn something at the same...

The concluding paragraph, therefore, may have significant impact on the urgency question which will be covered more fully later. Exhibits Many cases contain exhibits after the text portion of the case. Turn to the exhibits as they are referenced in the text to understand their context and content. Scrutinize them thoroughly. Some exhibits, such as financial statements or organization charts, may appear fairly standard. Still look for anything odd or unusual about them. Other exhibits are unique to the case and provide a summary or illustration of key data. Make sure that you understand the purpose of each exhibit. Part 2: Analyze the Case A generic approach to case analysis includes the following steps: A) define the issue; B) analyze the case data with focus on causes and effects as well as constraints and opportunities; C) generate alternatives; D) select decision criteria; E) assess alternatives; F) select the preferred alternative; and G) develop an action and implementation plan. Note that some parts of this model will not apply to every case and some aspects will receive more emphasis than others at different times during the course.

...Harvey to visit the local zoo. After spending approximately four hours there visiting the various exhibits, they decide to visit one final exhibit building. Although this building looked like all the rest at the zoo, it was set apart from the majority. Upon walking up the building, they spotted a large dog that seemed friendly at first. The dog nuzzled them and they made note of a small plastic device on the collar. In jest, the son made a snowball to throw at his father, inadvertently hitting the dog with it. The dog proceeded to attack Harvey and bit him four times on his right elbow causing lacerations that required twenty stitches. Upon investigation, the attorney for Mr. Woodley learns that the building in question is not an exhibition building of the zoo, but rather the private residence of the zoo groundskeeper (the dog belongs to Mr. Androcles as well). Although there were no posted signs that this was not part of the zoo, the defendant’s attorney maintains that they building’s residential status was obvious due to the electric fence – as evidenced by the collar on the dog. Procedural History: None Issue: Whether the Illinois Dog Bite Statute applies in cases where the plaintiff is unknowingly trespassing. Holding: None Rule: Cause of action (remedy sought): The following is an action to hold Mr. Androcles liable for injuries sustained to Harvey Woodley (under the Illinois Dog Bite Statue).

...Fethullah Cap Professor Eisenberg DED-51 26 February 2013 Young Sailor 1-) First of all, When I saw the exhibits at MET there were many historical fine arts and painting on the other hand when I go to one exhibit I feel like I am at that time because they mention lots of details for example design of the place. And also I experienced history of art like at Matisse exhibition often painted two or more versions of the same scene to experiment with the style and techniques. 2-) The most what I like is The Young Sailor II the details are simple figure drawing made up of fewer lines the young men has soft body his heads hangs at small angle and he has quick curve for nose and youthful lips. The whole figured was an eighteen years old fisher man and it seems to be more childlike expression of the first portrait the decorative elements are simplified as they are painted as large gloves of color fingers bolt. And also there is major contrast between mask like quality of the sailor face and the wild eyebrows, nose, and lips are painted detailed. On the other hand what I like of The Young Sailor II is there is a portrait one normal person explains and mentions that time art and work in public. Because most of artist painting good view or something else I think this kind of portrait is more enjoyable then other kind of view or painting...

...In J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, Holden experiences difficult challenges in his daily life. He has no friends and thinks that the exhibits are humans. Holden enjoys seeing the exhibits and it would be the one place for Holden to go if he wanted everything the same during his childhood. That is what makes it so strange. The museum never changes and helps Holden escape from his reality life. “You could go there a hundred thousand times, and the Eskimo would still be just finished catching those two fish” (121). Holden liked knowing that the glass cases in the museum would never judge him from his mistakes in the real world. He visits the museum to escape from all the chaos in his life. He likes the glass cases that the museum places all their exhibits in. He desires to place parts of his life in glass cases because they won’t change. He decides not to go in the museum. He is afraid that the museum and Jane Gallagher has changed. Holden knows that if the museum has change, then it would hurt him, so he doesn’t enter. He remembers happiness and laughter when he was with his friends and family. Holden wishes to live a simple and uncomplicated life. “Nobody’d be different. The only thing that would be different would be you. Not that you’d be so much older or anything. It wouldn’t be that, exactly” (121). The Museum of Natural History symbolizes the world Holden would love to live in. For example, he says,“ The best thing, though, in that museum was that everything...
