...History 110 / Midterm Study Guide During this part of the course we address several different themes that shaped modern America. The first is the importance of the Civil War and Reconstruction in setting the stage for the great industrial growth and development in the late 19th century. The second theme is the impact of industrialization in late 19th century America--economically, politically, socially, and culturally. A third theme centered on the emergence of an aggressive America foreign policy that in general sought to export American values and ideas so as to bring order to the international scene. The fourth major theme is the rise of progressivism in the first two decades of this century. Like the unions and Populists before them, the Progressives responded to the tremendous impact of industrialization and corporate capitalism on American society, however with much more success. A fifth theme centers on the American entrance into World War I and the war's impact on American society and politics. A sixth theme is the conflict over values and power in American society. Different groups (African-Americans, KKK, nativist/anti-immigrant, socialists, women, etc) with their own unique visions of what American society should be came into conflict over whose vision should predominate. A final theme is emergence of a powerful, welfare state in the form of the New Deal which finally addressed in a large-scale and systematic effort the negative consequences inherent in capitalism...

...The Influence of Mathematics on Daily Social Activities MTH/110 March 2, 2015 The Influence of Mathematics Society is an important concept in which stands the intellectual development of mathematics and science. Today, in society, mathematics makes extraordinary demands and so to the world of mathematicians and scientists. The purpose of the report is to identify the influence and effects of mathematics in society. It includes some history of math and its major demands and capabilities that come with the material and mathematicians. Math Background People have believed in mathematics and the discipline that comes with it since centuries ago, some may like, and some may not. Some people used to worship mathematics and believe in it for living like Aryabatta and Bhaskara. Back to the 4th century, Aristotle and Plato had already an idea of the existence of mathematics in their mind and the external world; also he argued about a positive effect on individuals (Dossey). In the middle ages, mathematicians were coming out and at one point competing without knowing in discovering new techniques. Archimedes had one of the greatest impacts on its work in mathematics but he was known later in the 16th century when Federico Commandino in 1558 translation into Latin most of his printing texts and spread it out with other mathematicians and physics of the time, that includes Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei (Toomer, 2014). Many other mathematicians...

...Discussion board Forum 2 Derrick Jarvis Bible 110 February 26, 2012 Mark 9:9-13 records a conversation between Jesus and three of His disciples, Peter, James and John. This event takes place immediately after the transfiguration of Jesus Christ on a mountain near Caesarea Philippi. In this passage, Jesus orders the disciples not to tell anyone about the transfiguration they had just witnessed until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. If Jesus was proclaimed Christ among the Jews before the cross and resurrection, the Jews might have tried to make Him king. Although Jesus had been teaching the disciples that He must suffer and die (e.g. Mark 8:31-38) these three disciples continued to question what Jesus meant when He spoke of “rising from the dead”. The true purpose of the Messiah was unclear to them. The three then asked Jesus about the prophecy of Elijah’s return prior to the coming of the Messiah. Jesus answered them by telling the disciples that the prophecies of Elijah’s second coming had been fulfilled. Most believe that John the Baptist fulfilled these prophecies. In the previous passage we read about Jesus preparing His followers by informing them about His upcoming death (Mark 8:31-38). We read about the revelation of God’s Son to Peter, James and John in the transfiguration (Mark 9:1-8). The disciples witnessed Jesus transformed and speaking with Elijah and Moses. They saw the visible presence of God surrounding the event in the form of a cloud...

...Week 4 Assignment 2 SCI 110 Nov 5th 2012 Everything around us is made up of particles, atoms, and molecules. All the substances there are to name are, at the core and in there simplest form, made of those three things. Different objects are made up of different molecules, and different molecules have their own properties with how they react to the elements and retain heat, how fast they heat, and how fast they cool. Heat is based on the total internal energy of the molecules of a body ( Tillery 2009). Larger object tend to have more internal energy than smaller objects, especially if the objects in question are the same substance, but if both object have the same temperature they are believed to have about the same molecular kinetic energy (Tillery 2009). The molecular energy is broken up into two different categories, external and internal energy. The difference between the two is that external energy refers the kinetic and potential energy of an every-day sized object, and internal refers the kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object. Take the tire on a car for example, it has external kinetic energy as it is rotating and that energy is transferred to the internal kinetic energy of the molecules between the tire and the surface of the road, which the consequence is both surface of the road and tire to be heated. The amount the road and tire are heated are directly related to how fast the tire is spinning and how much friction is being created...

...Brian A Coleman Presents: “Financial Project” MAT--105 Academic Course Section: MAT 105 Summer 2011 To: Professor: Robert Johnson Strayer University- White Marsh Campus White Marsh, Maryland 10 September 2011 In order to pay off the loan in 20 years instead of 25 years you need to make $89.09 extra a month to pay it off. This is not reasonable simply because the bulk of my income goes to other finances. The only way to make this work is to go to my boss and ask for a $1.00 raise so I could make an $89.09 payment to my principle every month. By making $89.09 more a month to my principle my interest rate will go down. Paying $89.09 extra a month comes out to $1069.08 extra more a year that goes tours the principle payment. The only way that it would be reasonable is for me to get a second job or to get a raise at my job that I have right now. It would be better for me to refinance my loan to at rate of 3.6% that would give me a 30 year paid out of $784.08 a month. I would be saving $200.60 a month if I refinance my loan right now. Even with me having to pay $2000.00 closing cost it would benefit me to refinance my loan so I would have a better rate. The first year saving would be $2407.20 which would cover my closing cost that I had to pay out. My current payment a month is $984.68 and if I refinance my pay would be $784.08. If I could get the bank to let me refinance my loan at 3.6% for a 20 year loan...

...One of the major ideas expressed in Buddhism is that of the Three Gems. These Gems consist of: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. The Three Gems are clearly expressed in three of Ninian Smart’s dimensions of religion and are also interlocking. The first Gem, The Buddha, fulfills Ninian’s described mythological dimension. The next Gem, the Dharma, expresses the doctrinal dimension. Finally, the third Gem, the Sangha, deals with the social dimension. The first Gem, the Buddha, can clearly be categorized under the mythological dimension of religion. This Gem consists of stories of the life cycles of Shakyamuni, who is the Buddha of the current era. Most of the stories however focus on the life cycle of Siddartha, in which the bodhisattva(one who has dedicated himself to achieving Buddhahood) actually achieves enlightenment and becomes Buddha Shakyamuni(Oxtoby/Segal p377). The stories explain how, “Siddhartha travels the path from a vow to seek enlightenment, to its attainment, to the teaching of others how to follow that path”(Buddhism Lecture One, Week Four). These stories and legends are considered mythological as they are not scripture for Buddhists, and they are not a direct biography of Buddha Shakyamuni’s life, yet they serve the purpose to outline a path for other Buddhists to follow to reach enlightenment (Introduction Lecture, Week One). According to Ninian Smart, “… we shall include stories relating to significant historical events under the head of the mythological...

...Chemistry of DNA The chemistry of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is not as mysterious as some make it out to be. DNA is simply the hereditary material in all of living organisms; the biological instructions that make each species unique (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2012). Every part of our bodies contains tiny cells of DNA and within the nucleus of these cells is the information of hereditary. Nucleic acids are the building blocks of information storage; DNA and RNA (ribonucleic acid). According to Simon & Reece (2010), “There are four kinds of DNA bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). A always pairs with T, and G always pairs with C. These base-pairing rules enable DNA to act as the molecule of inheritance” (p. 52). “Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix” (Genetics Home Reference, 2013, para. 3). Conversely, all four of these molecules are involved in all of the structures and processes of cells and organisms. Each molecule; proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids have specific functions, but each type of molecule usually has more than one function (University of Idaho, 2008). As an example proteins can act as enzymes but also transport other molecules around, act as structural support and even act as protection for the cell. “Of the literally...

...Radiation is part of life and is comes in different forms. Radiation from the sun provides warmth and light but other forms of radiation can cause harm to the human body. Scientists have also found ways to cure the body with radiation. The different types of radiation highlighted in this paper are Alpha, Bata, and Gamma. Radiation particles with an electrical charge are alpha particles. Alpha particles have the lowest penetrating power of the primary forms of radiation. These particles cannot travel more than inches and cannot penetrate the outermost layer of human skin. Even a piece of paper will block alpha particles. Although alpha particle cannot penetrate the skin, if the radioactive material makes it’s way into the body, by inhalation or ingestion, the concentrated radiation can destroy tissue and organs. Beta particles are more powerful than alpha particles. Beta particles are capable of traveling faster and can penetrate deeper into the skin than alpha particles. Beta particles can travel about ten yards depending on the isotope and can penetrate tissue several millimeters. Beta radiation causes a slight risk to skin and will generally burn skin with prolonged exposure. The danger comes with contact to the mouth or eyes. Very similar to alpha particles, the greatest threat of radioactive beta particle is when the particles entry the body. Beta particles are capable of immense internal damage to tissue and organ in much the same way alpha particles affects...

In chapter eleven in the book discusses marketing this was an insightful chapter as I have not taken a marketing course yet in my study. Getting introduced to marketing helped me understand some of the processes of marketing that my business would use in the future. As a small business owner I would be responsible for all marketing activities distributing, pricing, and promoting of goods, services and ideas. Being a small business owner of a clothing boutique would also make me responsible for buying, selling, transporting, storing, grading, marketing research and risk taking. The first activity of buying, is knowing what to buy. I plan to target a clientele of young teenage girls to middle aged women. There are several market places I can shop at in different states, the closest to where I plan to set up shop in the lowcountry would be a market in Atlanta Georgia. This type of market is built around the business of small business owners with boutiques and is a whole sale warehouse if you will where store owners can go and hand select the merchandise they want to put in their stores. They often hold fashions show for the owners to view the upcoming seasonal trends and show owners what is projected to be trending in the future seasons. Once I have bought the merchandise the next...

...Adam Howard ES 110G The Dust Bowl April, 28, 2014 The Dust Bowl The dust bowl happened in the 30’s. It was a period of severe drought. Severe drought and wind erosion ravaged the Great Plains for a decade. The drought damaged the agriculture and the environment in a detrimental way. Because of the drought and the farmers not using dry land farming methods at the time to prevent wind erosion during the dust bowl. The farmers had plowed the soil before the dust bowl disrupting the grasses that would have normally kept the soil in place during high winds. Excessive cultivation of the land in the 1930s exposed dry soil to the wind. The water that was in the ground no longer soaked in it just ran off because there were no roots to help it soak into the ground. When the winds blew it turned the soil into dust that blew everywhere. The dust storms were called “black blizzards”. Visibility was greatly reduced during these times of high wind and made it very hard for people to see in front of them. The drought and erosion of the Dust Bowl affected many people and a lot of land was compromised. The dust storms greatly degraded the productivity of the soil. People’s health was hindered greatly by breathing in all of the dust and particles in it. The air quality was horrible making it unbearable to live in those circumstances. Families had to leave their homes because they couldn’t breathe with the dust getting into their lungs. They were getting pneumonia from the dust in their...

...How Good Are Your Communication Skills SOC110 Antron Davis Instructor: Janet Hrncir Date: 06/13/2016 Having the capacity to impart well is a standout amongst the most essential abilities that a man can have. Correspondence is the demonstration of passing on data starting with one place then onto the next utilizing one of a wide range of types of correspondence. Individuals impart in a wide range of ways, yet the most discernible routes in which individuals convey is in a verbal and non-verbal way (Engleberg and Wynn, 2010). Verbal correspondence joins any strategy for correspondence connecting words, verbal or composed. This can incorporate the discussion that you have with a companion or an email that you may send to a collaborator. People are one of a kind for the way that we are the main species that can speak with each other utilizing words or innovation. Verbal correspondence is essential since it is utilized to advise. Elucidation is critical with regards to verbal correspondence. Verbal correspondence backings to clarity with regards to mix-ups and offers data that is required and might miss. Verbal correspondence is vital and runs as one with non-verbal correspondence. The non-verbal correspondence...

...Zihua Wu 11237004 GenEd 110 section 01 Final Paper Impact of Invasion and Migration by Japan on the Chinese Society Introduction The Sino-Japanese Wars were the largest wars in the Asian battlefield during the World War II. The Sino-Japanese Wars were conflicts between China and Japan in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. There were two Sino-Japanese Wars: the first one lasted from July 1894 to April 1895; the Second one, which was known in China as the war of resistance against Japan, lasted from the outbreak of the fighting on 7 July 1937 to 14 August 1945—although recent Chinese historiography tends to date the war from the Japanese occupation of Manchuria in 1931. Both wars were crucial in the formation and ultimate defeat of Japanese imperial expansion in East Asia and in the development of a sense of Chinese nationalism. Although the Sino-Japanese Wars were end in 1945 with the victory of China, it made up more than 50% of the casualties in the Pacific War if the 1937–1941 periods are taken into account. The impacts of invasion and migration by Japan on Chinese society are various. This essay will present these impacts on three aspects, which are politics, economy and culture. The Impacts on the Chinese Politics During the invasion and migration of Japan, Sino-Japanese War broke the confrontation between pre-war China's major political parties and other parties. As the Japanese attempt to monopolize China and launch a comprehensive war against China...
