...many states put off political reforms for decades, Europe as a whole developed political systems and organizations that value civic and human rights, and serve as a model for democracy around the world. Over the course of the last half of the 20th century, Europe combated Fascist dictators, economic recessions, and revolutions within African and Asian colonies. Together with American economic aid, Europe managed to overcome these obstacles and establish itself as an economic and political powerhouse. Several factors led Europe to rebuild from the rubble of the war, including the sheer extent of destruction caused, the ideological division of Europe during...

...Race in Turn of the Century America Natasha Stevenson HIS204 Leslie Ruff 12/3/12 In the 20th century life for many took a turn for the better….and worst. There were issues of equality, segregation, and feminine injustice. Many suffered greatly due to their current issues, and W.E.B wanted to take a stand for things. W.E.B du Bois was the African- American who predicted that one of the central problems of the 20th century would be how black and white Americans could live together in a just and equal society. The end of World War I back then was a real life changer for a lot of people in the 20th century. Women became less superior to men, and their legal, professional, and voting rights were degraded. On the other hand later in the 20th century women… and men fought hard for women’s equality, and finally made it to victory. After all the fights through the years justice was severed to many. The 20th Century was a major turning point the world because the majority of the century started at its worst but slowly became better over the years; also with the help of many who stepped forward. Once the Gibson girl came about many men and other women felt threatened by these strong- willed females and started to believe that women were becoming stronger than men. Men and women started to go around spreading thoughts about how they felt more females would want to become like “The Gibson Girl” and they would want to take over. This was why the issue of equality came to...

...people’s lives. Fame comes in many different forms in our culture today from professional athletes to actors to Kardashians, and people in today’s culture try to escape their own lives by reading about the lifestyles of these people. The notion of fame was not the same around the late 19th and early 20th century. There were large names such as Andrew Carnegie or JP Morgan, but working and middle class people were not obsessed over how these wealthy people were living. The closest thing to a magazine like People that existed was the notion of a painted woman. Painted woman stories were in the papers that covered sensational murders of women who were often incredibly beautiful and morally virtuous but for some reason strayed off course and paid the ultimate punishment for it. People around the turn of the 20th century were fascinated with these people, but the fascination was not an envy to be like them. There was not a fixation on becoming famous and well-known back then. American culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was undergoing serious change. The industrial revolution led to significant economic growth and concentration of wealth during the turn of the century, and with it came a complete change in cultural norms. Class formation started to become defining with the emergence of the middle class during the latter half of the 1800’s, and it led to the creation of new leisure activities, different social codes, and a new group of consumers. New industries started...

...social, economic and political factors of Technology in the 20th century. The constantly changing fashionable take on Technology in the 20th century demonstrates the depth of the subject. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, several of todays most brilliant minds seem incapable of recognising its increasing relevance to understanding future generations. Since it was first compared to antidisestablishmentarianism much has been said concerning Technology in the 20th century by global commercial enterprises, who are yet to grow accustomed to its disombobulating nature. Complex though it is I shall now attempt to provide an exaustive report on Technology in the 20th century and its numerous 'industries'. As Reflected in classical mythology society is complicated. When Sir Bernard Chivilary said 'hounds will feast on society' [1] he could have been making a reference to Technology in the 20th century, but probably not. Both tyranny and democracy are tried and questioned. Yet Technology in the 20th century smells of success.When one is faced with people of today a central theme emerges - Technology in the 20th century is either adored or despised, it leaves no one undecided. It breaks the mould, shattering man's misunderstanding of man. Derived from 'oikonomikos,' which means skilled in household management, the word economics is synonymous with Technology in the 20th century. We will study the Greek-Roman model, a classic economic...

...Psychology Laboratory at the Turn of the 20th Century Research Question or Problem The question is clearly stated, however this article is not posing the question as a problem to be solved. The purpose of the article was to explore the question of how the founding of the psychology laboratory shaped and individualized the field of psychology. Introduction The introduction shows the significance of the establishment of the research laboratory at the University of Leipzig (Benjamin, L. T. 2000.) Two sources are cited in this introduction. The creation of the laboratory paved the future for psychology, separating the field from previous associations with philosophy or spiritism (Benjamin, L.T. ) Methodology Benjamin L. T. (2000) does not indicate a study as such in his article but he does provide a table of data that was assembled from Garvey (1929) and Murray and Rowe (1979), documenting the year each university psychology laboratory was founded and who it was founded by. Because the nature of the article is to explain the history of the psychology laboratory, there is no definitive study to report of. However, the article does describe the research of Wundt and his "community of investigators" (as cited in Benjamin, L. T. 2000) in the first experimental psychology laboratory in 1879 which later became widely regarded as a milestone in the field's history....

...demanded in the economy. In the following section, we will discuss the relationship between automation and unemployment. Primarily, we will emphasize on two issues- 1) Automation does not result in permanent unemployment, and 2) Automation actually creates more jobs in the economy Unemployment created by automation, or technological unemployment, is a type of frictional or temporary unemployment as unemployed workers eventually find new jobs. However, some people believed that technological unemployment might lead to structural unemployment. For several decades, indeed for centuries, the main controversy about technological unemployment has been whether it can ever lead to structural unemployment. The notion that unemployment created by automation may lead to structural unemployment is known as Luddite fallacy. The Luddite premise was originated from Britain in the early 19th century, sometimes after automation had been introduced during the industrial revolution. At that time, many people feared that automation would take their jobs and people would remain unemployed forever because human labor would never be necessary. However,...

...How is the concept of PLC useful? Product life cycle concept is useful for firms to develop sustainability strategies towards their products (i.e. how to allocate marketing funds in accordance with the phase of the cycle the product has entered). The PLC defines that a product goes through a cycle during their lifetime, which starts when the product is launched where the product cycle grows until one day, it falls to an end. The good aspect about this model is that it divides the life of a product in several stages with different characteristics based on sales level and growth of the product: introduction; growth; maturity; decline. This allows the adoption of different strategies according to the consumer behaviour and considering the sales of the product. The PLC model is not capable in predicting the duration of the phases since that depends on the product and industry (i.e. PLC of a smartphone is much smaller than the PLC of a shampoo). In addition, a sudden drop of sales does not really result in new product cycle since this change can be provoked by external events or factors like changes in market or consumer preferences or the introduction of substitutes by the competition can turn planning based on a product life cycle prediction totally useless. There is little or no guarantee that a product will even make it out of the introduction stage, or it may move through the cycle faster or slower than anticipated. The PLC can...

...Quintero Toro, Camilo. Birds of Empire, Birds of Nation: A history of Science, Economy, and Conservation in United States- Colombia Relations. Bogota: Universidad de los Andes, 2012. Intro. This book seeks to answer these and other questions by focusing on the study in perception of Colombian birds from the late 19th century through the first half of the 20th century, as a pretext to analyze social, scientific and environmental relations between the United States and Colombia. Understanding how ornithologists and collectors formed bird collections reveal s a rich story of international scientific relations and power structure throughout the 19th and 20th century. Reconstructing the story of Colombian birds allows the author to build a history that not only analyzes the early and complex scientific relations between the United States and Colombia, but also takes into account the importance of North America's growing influence over Latin America as well as Colombia's changing economic, cultural and social history to understand different perception of the natural world in both countries. For a North American, the study of birds brought forth a natural world where US imperialist intentions over Latin America were entirely legitimized. For Colombian naturalists, the study of birds offered another way to promote relations with the United States and incorporated Colombia into the international arena of science. At the same time, a toucan in 1940 had a different meaning to a North...

Hutchison argues that the efforts of Herbert Hoover, who was the 31st President of the United States and a former Secretary of Commerce, in reforming the U.S. housing policy are largely overlooked, partly because his name evokes the image of “Hoovervilles”; however, it can not be neglected that under his leadership, the suburban ideal, a whimsical notion that permeated nationwide during the interwar period, became an integral aspect of the American identity. This, in turn, helped the subsequent leaderships cement federal programs that further improved the American housing system....

...Democracy) and the Third Reich (Dictatorship) are also significant, however in political terms they are not as significant as post 45. The significances of post 1945 can be seen by its success of creating a working democracy in Germany after 1945, the FRG. One reason why the FRG was successful revolves around the sudden decline in German militarism and nationalism. This is evident in the fact that the FRG’s constitution was based on the Weimar Republics concept of ‘Grundgesetz’, which means basic law. The implications of this is evident in that German nationalism after WW2 no longer believing in Sonderweg after the defeat of the Third Reich. This caused the abhorrence towards western democracy (being seen as weak and disorderly) to fade and in turn allowed the Germans to become more open towards the ideas of democracy and made them see themselves as an important part of the West.

For the working class, however, who were unable to afford these new technological luxuries, their difficult lives went on just the same as they had before. Work For working-class Australians at the turn of the century, there was almost no time for anything other than work because their lives revolved around their jobs. Many men felt pressured to work because of the popular belief that the man should be the 'breadwinner' (the person responsible for supporting the family). Women and children from poor families also had to seek employment because a single wage was often not enough to provide for the entire family. They usually had to work exceptionally long hours, in poor conditions and received little pay in return. Awards, such as the four weeks annual leave that Australian workers are entitled to today, were inconceivable at the turn of the century. (For more detail, refer to Chapter 1: Life and Working Conditions) Housing The housing of the working class was dangerous, unsanitary and overcrowded. At the turn of the century, the size of the average family was much larger than it is today. It was not uncommon for families to have in excess of eight...
