...Historical Timeline and Essay Michael Meisenheimer AAGN10AA62 December 11, 2011 Kelly Cantrell Historical Timeline and Essay Timeline 1793 Eli Whitney Invents the Modern Cotton Gin Slavery was becoming less and less profitable in the South prior to 1793. One reason was because cotton was not a profitable crop for farmers because preparing it for sale was so labor intensive. Eli Whitney's cotton gin turned cotton into a profitable crop and raised the demand of slaves in the South to grow it. This coincided with the North becoming a more industrialized region that didn't need to depend on slaves. 1819 Missouri Compromise The Missouri Compromise was brokered by Senator Henry Clay to settle the dispute between the North and the South about if the Western territories would be slave or free. Under the terms of the Compromise, slavery would only be allowed in Missouri and south of the 36th parallel. The need for the Missouri Compromise illustrates how the North and the South were beginning to hold very different views on how allowable slavery was to the nation. Bitter feelings about the compromise persisted in both the North and the South. 1828 The Nullification Crisis The Nullification Crisis grew out of a protective tariff of 1828. The tariff was popular with the Northern states, because it provided protection for American made goods. Southern states traded heavily with Great Britain during this time, and felt it would damage their economies. With the support...

...School children across America are taught that the Civil War began at Fort Sumter, South Carolina in 1861. Fort Sumter was the physical beginning of the Civil War, however the reasons as to why Confederate forces attacked that day (and even why there were Confederate forces) goes back into the very beginning of American history. The problems between the North and the South dominated the national discourse almost from the time there was a national discourse in America. As far back as the drafting of the Constitution the North and the South were fighting to be the primary voice shaping what America would be. Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 is an early example of the need for compromise between the North and the South. Since representation for the House of Representatives was going to be based on population, it behooved the states to count everyone who lived within their state boundaries. The South wanted to count slaves. The North, who wanted to be the dominant region, did not want slaves counted. Oddly, the debate put the South in the position of arguing that slaves were people under Federal law, and the North fighting against this concept. The rise of the abolitionist movement in the coming decades would soon flip this argument. Out of this debate came the Three-Fifths Compromise, which allowed each slave to be counted as 3/5's of a person. The North had also used slaves to build its economy. However, the landscape of the North lent itself more easily to smaller farms...

MEĐUNARODNI SIMPOZIJ PALIJATIVNE SKRBI SLAVONSKI BROD TRAVANJ, 2015.g. SAŽETAK Neizmjeran je niz definicija ljudskog dostojanstva, no još su brojniji primjeri deklarativnih navoda o dostojanstvu čovjeka posebice u raspravama i argumentacijama o humanističkom karakteru zdravstvenih poziva. Brojni su primjeri globalizirane utilizacije svega ljudskog, pa onda i u okviru realiteta sustava zdravstvene skrbi. Oni razotkrivaju bolnu istinu suvremenog Svijeta: stanje latentne krize humaniteta, anomalno razdoblje u kojem je tzv. „ financijska kriza“ samo vrh ledene sante i eufemizam za tektonske poremećaje u aretološkom smislu; kriza vrijednosti i sadržajnog određenja čovjeka kriza je vječne ljudske i plemenite težnje traganja za smislom kako života općenito, tako i vlastitog postojanja. U tom kontekstu čovječanstvo lišeno jasnih humanističkih ideala, u okviru kojih je ljudsko dostojanstvo vrhunski cilj, postaje nejasna skupina živih bića u tegobnoj borbi sa silama prirode i banalnom egzistiranju bez smisla i svrhe. U svim zdravstvenim deontologijama, kao i profesionalnim kodeksima zdravstvenih profesija tematika i deklarativno normiranje ljudskog dostojanstva neizostavni je dio. Istovremeno, brojni primjeri ugrožavanja dostojanstva pacijenata ali i zdravstvenih djelatnika, kako u okviru zdravstvenih...

...In Jennifer Price’s “The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History”, the history of the popularity of pink flamingos in the United States’ culture is explained. Price’s historical knowledge of the pink flamingo and examples of its use in American culture reveals her view that Americans brighten and pizzaz the already beautiful in order to make money and exploit its beauty. In the first paragraph of the essay, the author describes the growing popularity of flamingos in the United States. Price utilizes historical details to convey this acclaim of flamingos. This shown in the name of “Miami Beach’s first grand hotel, the Flamingo” and the fact that “developers built hundreds more modest hotels” for the middle class so that they could experience the newfound pizzazz of flamingos. Americans are shown to almost worship wealth because of the want to appear as affluent as possible. As soon as flamingos became synonymous with wealth, everyone and their brother wanted to stay in a flamingo hotel or have the new playful Art Deco style. The next paragraph continues down the timeline of the flamingo while also exploring the dark side of the nature of its popularity. Price reveals the fact that “Americans had hunted flamingos to extinction in Florida in the late 1800s.” This historical detail illustrates the irony of the flamingo’s sudden...

...Milestones in Psychology Ebonie Matthews Strayed University PSY 105 The two dates that I chose to write about is my birthday, which is January 14th and my mother’s birthday which is February 4th. These dates are significant because there are the days that my mother and I were born; and also reminders, of the worst that was to come. My mother became ill around my birthday and was hospitalized on her birthday and died later that year. In this essay I will write about all the other significant events starting on January 14th, that happened on those same dates many, many years ago which include births, experiments, developments and discoveries. Starting the new year off, on January 14th 1847 Johannes, Orth was the founder of the Wurzburg School, which stressed difficult to understand, “imageless” nature of thought and conscious process. The basic thesis of the Wurzburg school consists in the postulation of the existence of special states of consciousness—“thoughts”—which cannot be reduced to the sensory content (Great Soviet encyclopedia, ed. A. M. Prokhorov (1979). Johannes Orth and his studies at the Wurzburg School were the initial starting point on the conscious process because Florence Rockwood Kluckholn born on January 14th 1905; believed that specific patterns of behavior can be that influenced by culture. Orth’s belief was that the thought...

...Introduction Nursing is one of the oldest professions and its roots can be traced to ancient Greece. Nursing history Has evolved significantly since religion and the military days, which are relevant to nursing and are responsible for its development as a profession. Nursing role was recognised for thousands of years, demonstrated by an interactive timeline of education. Religious nuns and monks established the care as an identity rather then profession. Presents how p.xiii until the evolution of nursing as a separate profession, nursing wasn’t recognised as a profession; it was a spiritual, vocational, and probably considered more of a nursemaid relationship, based as holistic care rather than integrally providing care. The purpose of this essay is firstly, to explore those significant historical periods along historical characters and their theories which influence the way care is planned and delivered in today’s context. Furthermore, This essay will examine some of the key theories which came about from the war, and its evolutionary influence on future nursing practices and theories. Before the Crimean War, unpaid, religious nuns and monks established the care for the sick, as mercy act, with no regular system. When the Crimean war began in 1853, the whole nature of nursing changed: the need in care increased, the requirement of help for the sick and injured people was growing rapidly. Nurses status change into saving life. Educated nurses served as army nurses since 1898...

...An Analysis of “How I Wrote Jubilee” Margaret Walker’s essay “How I Wrote Jubilee” is an essay that summarizes the author’s vast research for the Novel Jubilee. Based on stories her great-grandmother portrayed as bedtime stories in her childhood, the novel itself depicts the life and times of a character named Vyry that went through slavery, the Civil War and reconstruction. This responsive essay gives way to an establishment of educated and factual data through timing, oral history of the stories of those who were in slavery, and primary research of the subject matter, thereby providing ample documentation of the credibility of her novel. When gauging whether an author’s writing is credible, one must first inquire what their educational background is. Keeping this in mind, there are several references of the educational background of Walker in the essay “How I Wrote Jubilee.” Graduating from Northwestern University in Iowa at the young age of 19, Walker went on to obtain her master’s in English from the University of Iowa in 1939, graduating in just a year in 1940. Here she studied at the Writer’s Workshop and began writing her thesis on the Civil War, compiling and reading a laundry list of books about the South, the Negro during slavery, and the slave codes in Georgia. Although Walker’s poem “For My People” was published in 1942 her father heeded warning by stating, “I would have to eat if I wanted to live, and writing poetry would not feed me (Walker 52).” It is clear...
