...history classes and debated and the same with civil rights. Slavery is abolished in the United States but we still have issues with it happening. Civil rights is a topic that is always present. Turn on the news and there will be another new story about how a cop killed a black man. Civil rights is an issue that yes many seem to be getting out of hand but it’s something that we need to change in society. Everyone should be treated equally. People are born a certain race and they cannot change that. Just because someone is a certain race people need to respect the person for who they are and not judge them based on their race. There is a Bavarian saying that they live by “Mia San Mia” which stands for we are who we are and they live their lives by that and respect each other. That’s something that is not seen in the United States. Birth of a Nation, Gone with the Wind, Burn!, and Spartacus are a good representation of how America’s view on slavery and the mixing of races changed over time. Birth of a Nation was made in 1915 when segregation was still huge in American society. Burn! was made in 1969 which was right after the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was passed. It’s a big time frame to look at but it gave a good understanding on how viewpoints changed over time. The films Birth of a Nation and Gone with the wind were made 25 years apart and mainly took place during the reconstruction period after the civil war. But they both presented different viewpoints on the issues. The first...

...States joined World War II on the side of the Allies. It was yet another large destructive war in Europe, and the Allies needed assistance in defeating Germany quickly. The Soviet Union was successful in pushing Germany westward in this battle. As Germany got closer to other fronts, the Allies knew that something needed to be done to aid the Soviet Union in stopping them. The United States and Great Britain felt the air bombings on the German cities of Dresden and Hamburg were the way to cripple Germany. The fire bombs caused much damage to the cities and many lives were lost; however it did put an end to the war sooner and a victory for the Allies. (Ross, 2003) These cities of Dresden and Hamburg had most of Germany’s needed resources and materials needed for their military were made and produced. Some deemed these bombings to be unnecessary and immoral for killing many innocent people. However is also viewed as a necessary part of the war and some had to die to prevent even more deaths. Because of how many lives were lost due to these bombings it is hard to imagine, but it was an action of war that was crucial to take down Germany. The bombings were destructive but extremely successful by taking down these cities stopping them from producing need supplies for the war. The bombings did put the war to an end quickly. (Ross, 2003) Great Britain and the United States (on the side of the Allies) bombed the city of Dresden Germany during World War II. These attacks were a destructive...

With his wife, Catherine, he "reached for the worst," rather than cultivate the comfortable middle class.In 1878, by a fortunate inspiration, the name was changed from the "Christian Mission," to "The Salvation Army." Immediately, the movement captured the public imagination. Incorporating paramilitary ranks and uniforms, the movement spread throughout the British Isles. In 1880 the first missionary, George Scott Railton, was sent to New York. With the aid of seven untutored "lassies," The Salvation Army was soon on its way along the East Coast.Work in the West beginsConditions around San Francisco's Barbary Coast begged for a religious revival. Some sincere Christians, feeling that Booth's organization was needed, asked for officers to be sent there to form their group into the first corps in the West. Aided by reinforcements from England and new converts, Major Alfred Wells and Captain Merry Stillwell founded the vibrant, innovative Army that is today's Western Territory. In ten years there were 67 corps, (Churches), spreading north to Seattle, south to San Diego and east to Montana and Utah.The west now encompasses the 13 western states...

...History of the Illuminati Master Conspiracy In dealing with an emotionally-charged topic such as conspiracy, to avoid confusion it is necessary to begin with a definition of the concept. Conspiracy is a human activity involving more than one person. The parties to this activity are advancing basically the same or common objectives, and are advancing objectives which, by very reasonable standards, are personally harmful, evil or destructive. And, finally, they're doing all this either in secret or without fully advertising in advance what they're planning to do, and certainly not to their potential victims. It is also important to note that the definition says the parties to a conspiracy are doing the same things, or advancing common objectives, but not at all necessarily are they all doing so for the same personal reasons or motivations. So the essential focus of conspiratorial research should be on the actions of individuals, not merely their backgrounds or organizational affiliations. Down through the ages there have been many secret societies and conspiratorial movements desired absolute rule of the world, the overthrow of all existing governments, and the final destruction of all religion. It is possible to trace the origins and developments of these many movements, such as the early anti-Christian mysticism of the Gnostics; the conspiracy against orthodox Islam and for world power that was founded by Hasan Saba in Persia in 1090 A.D. as the Order of the Assassins; the...

...61 Easy Ways To Lose Weight A few years ago, one of my friends at Men's Health stepped on the scale and was horrified by the result. He'd somehow managed to pack 20 pounds of flab onto his previously skinny frame. When he looked into the mirror, he saw a fat guy staring back. He decided to make a change, quick. That day, he gave up his beloved soda. He was only drinking two or three bottles a day, but over the course of six months, he dropped those 20 pounds. It was a small change to his lifestyle -- no big deal, really. And yet, it had a massive impact on his health and his body. (No surprise: Drinking calories is one of the 20 Habits That Make You Fat.) My point: Making small decisions each day can result in big-time fat loss. Below are dozens of simple ways to lose weight. Start with one -- today! -- and watch the weight begin to melt away. Trust me, this is going to be easier than you think. 1. Have a clear goal. It should be one that anyone in the world can measure and understand. 2. Drink tea. Research suggests that those who drink tea -- black, green, or white, as long as it’s from real tea versus herbal tea -- have lower BMIs and less body fat than those who don’t consume tea. 3. Eat cayenne pepper. A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition showed that when compared to placebo, capsaicin -- the active ingredient in cayenne -- increased fat burning. 4. Decrease/eliminate processed carbs. They do nothing for you outside of creating a favorable...

...Kennedy declared that “A new generation of Americans had taken over leadership of the country. The Unites States White House states that he told Americans “Ask not what your country can do for you…ask what you can do for your country. From his early life to his career in congress and as president of the United States, John F. Kennedy proved himself to be one of the most influential men in US history. Simkin writes that John F. Kennedy’s family was of Irish decent. During the great potato famine of the 1840’s John F. Kennedy’s Great Grandfather, Patrick Kennedy, immigrated to the United States and settled in Boston Massachusetts. It was here that politics entered into the Kennedy gene pool. Patrick Kennedy’s son, Patrick J. Kennedy was a successful saloon owner and a United States Senator. John F. Kennedy’s father, Joseph P. Kennedy, served under President Roosevelt administration as the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain. He also was first chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Joseph P. Kennedy was a very good business man and politician making himself into a self-made millionaire. John F. Kennedy’s mother was of political origins also. Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy’s father John F. “Honey Frits” Fitzgerald served in congress and as mayor of Boston for many years. Joseph P. Kennedy and his wife Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy had their second son, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, on May 29th, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. The president had eight brother and...

...American Propaganda and the Suppression of Dissent in World War I “May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. “ – Dwight D. Eisenhower On June 28, 1914, the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated. That event marked the first phase of World War I (Grayzel 10). Soon afterward nations throughout Europe announced declarations of war. By the end of October countries as far away as Japan, China and Brazil had become involved (Grayzel 11). Susan R. Grayzel in the “Introduction: The First World War and the Making of a Modern, Global Conflict” from The First World War: A Brief History with Documents”, explores a variety of contributing reasons for the Great War (Grayzel 9). The causes most often cited included the rise of nationalism, increased militarism, imperialism, and a willingness among the population to allow their governments to persecute a war (Grayzel 9-10). Ironically, it was a complicated series of competitive alliances and international peace agreements that caused such a rapid global escalation of hostilities (Grayzel 5). With its vast immigrant population, and their own ties to European and Asian interests, America was not immune to finding itself dragged into the war. Hence, during the first years of the war, President Woodrow Wilson struggled to maintain neutrality. So much so that he issued a declaration of neutrality to Congress on August 14, 1914. In his speech he entreated Americans to remember, “Every...

...The society has become too weak and corrupted to sustain itself – it is a “world without balls” as Leone himself put it (Cumbow 2008: 12). Although Leone is often credited for reinventing the western,*7* it would be more precise and pertinent to say that he reformed it, much the same way as Luther reformed the Church by taking it back to its supposed origins. Spaghetti westerns were not a “new” kind of western, they were western taken back to its roots – a clear-cut story of a frontier hero establishing order in a lawless society, based on nothing else than his own private judgement and virtue. However, The Man with No Name is strikingly different from the traditional western hero. He is a dishevelled and solitary outsider, a morally ambiguous antihero. He employs...

...earnings for women fell from £413 to £411. This means the gender pay gap has now risen from £89 to £97 pounds a week as weekly earnings for men rose from £502 to £508. With this in mind, I am proposing to argue the fact that women are still not treated equally to men within organisations in the UK based on my three chosen chapters that are ‘The History of Women and their Rights’, ‘Gender Equality Governmental Laws and Gender Pay’ and ‘Influential Women’. Within my chapter of the history of women and their rights I will focus on the timeline of history of working women and the people who fought for the rights to get to where we are today. I will also focus on the dates of massive movements towards equality for women within the UK and how this was achieved. In the second chapter I will be discussing Gender Equality Governmental Laws put...

...HUM 1000: WORLD CIVILIZATIONS NOTES BY DR. KAKAI P.W THE NATURE AND ORIGIN OF CIVILIZATION IN AFRICA Definition of key terms As we begin this course, it is crucial to first discuss our understanding of the concept ‘civilization’. This is a comparative term which is usually applied in comparison to such words as ‘barbarian’ ‘savage’ and ‘primitive’. In classical antiquity the Europeans used the word ‘barbarian’ to refer to a foreigner who was regarded as inferior (Ogutu and Kenyanchui, An Introduction To African History, 1991 p33). Do you think this is still the way we use the word barbarian? The Latin speakers referred to hunters, food-gatherers as savage. In the 17th century this term ‘savage’ referred to a person without art, literacy, or society who lived in fear of existence and death. ‘Primitive’ on the other hand, in Latin meant ‘the first or original’. Europeans used these words interchangeably when referring to non-Europeans while the word civilization was preserved to describe historical developments of European people (ibid). Now the term civilization is no longer confined to the above development but also extends reference to non-European communities. Attributes of civilization includes observance to law, belonging to an organized society, having a society of literate people with advanced developments in urbanization, agriculture, commerce, arts and technology. The French thinkers of the 18th century referred to a person of the arts and literature...
