...Lennon, an ex-member of the famous Rock band Beatles, is also a gifted composer. He had admitted that he was influenced by “The Time Are a Changin”. In the journal “Bob Dylan and John Lennon's Weird, One-Sided Relationship”, Scott Beauchamp and Alex Shephard states that Lennon commanded that “For three weeks in Paris, we didn't stop playing it. We all went potty about Dylan” (Beauchamp and Shephard). After Beatles disbanded, Lennon started to compose his protest songs. By releasing the song “Give Peace a Chance”, he successfully demonstrated his ideas about peace and showed it to the world. As another protest song singer after Dylan, he came out the songs as good as Dylan’s. In the journal “John Lennon 1940-1980: History Professor Jon Wiener...

...| Emerged from Liverpool in the early 1960’s, The Beatles: George Harrison, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, together changed music, culture, lifestyles, clothing style, and political attitudes. They sadistically emerged into the American pop music scene and changed it forever. Their energetic lyrics and funky beats with their grazing controversial long hair had a the youth entranced and influenced for a lifetime. Yet those weren’t the only things that had influenced many people around the world. The Beatles involvement with the politics of peace, and experimentation with hallucinogenic drugs and Indian mysticism brought a new look into meditation and a different view of society in whole. John Lennon, the lead singer of The Beatles, was 17 when he formed his first band called The Black Jacks. The band was made up entirely of classmates from the Quarry Bank Grammar School in Liverpool, and almost immediately after they started, they changed their name to The Quarry Men, to represent their school. They played Skiffle music, which was a mixture of folk, jazz, and blues which was popular in England at the time. In the summer of 1957, The Quarry Men were setting up for a performance in a church hall when another member of the band introduced Lennon to Paul McCartney, He auditioned for the band, after they had finished their set, he was immediately invited to join in October, 1957. By February 1958 Lennon’s style in music started moving increasingly away from skiffle...

...“The earthly city, which does not live by faith, seeks an earthly peace, and the end it proposes in the well-ordered concord of civil obedience and rule, is the combination of men’s wills to attain the things which are helpful to this life.” (368) Augustine is saying that to find peace, the Romans are using politics, but their lack of faith in God, and their lust for possession will not allow for this to happen. They must find peace through the Lord. The Romans are slaves to lust. Being a slave to lust of ruling is the worst to be because it ruins men’s hearts very quickly and relentlessly. “And beyond question it is a happier thing to be the slave of a man than of lust; for even this very lust of ruling, not to mention no others, lays waste men’s hearts with the most ruthless dominion.” (366) The government is necessary for there to be order in the city, but the men in charge of the city are corrupt and through their example, the city is corrupted. The people must follow God to stay true. If the leaders are men of God, the city will be...

...radical. Seeger’s father was fired when he registered as a conscientious objector in WWI. Pete Seeger spent two unhappy years at Harvard and in 1940 dropped out. On March 3, 1940 at a “Grapes of Wrath” labor benefit concert Seeger met Woody Guthrie. They became close friends and Guthrie would later mentor Seeger, who would go on to spread Guthrie’s legacy through his own music and spend years covering Guthrie’s music. After they met at the event, Woody traveled home to Pampa to visit Guthrie’s wife Mary and their two children, Gwendolyn and Carolyn. Guthrie brought Seeger along for the ride to show him the Midwest. This trip introduced Seeger to the rambling lifestyle and it was love at first site. Guthrie taught Pete Seeger about music, politics and being a traveling folk signer. Seeger was one of the most important voices in the history of music. He was able to captivate folk fans with beautiful lyrics like this in the form of the song “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” Seeger though he recently passed away his music will go on forever. In the early 1960s possibly the most famous name in folk protest music found his way into a performance at “Cafe Wah?,” in Greenwich Village in New York City. It was the same club where five years later Jimi Hendrix would be signed and convinced to move to England. This moment may mark the next stage in folk protest music after Seeger and Guthrie as that man, Bob Dylan, would go on to be one of the most respected, if reluctant, voices of the...

...There are many facts related to the deaths of innocent people because of the “madness” of . A perfect example for this statement is the assassination of John Lennon, a very popular British singer in 1980, in New York. When the murderer of famous rock-star, Mark David Chapman was asked at the interrogation what was the motive for kill Lennon, the answer appeared to be quite surprising: “He walked past me and then I heard in my head, 'Do it, do it, do it,' over and over again, saying 'Do it, do it, do it,' like that, and then I just pulled the trigger steady five times. I killed him because I admired him.” This is a very clear demonstration of fanaticism. Mark Chapman still does not understand what was wrong with his action. As his parents inform the journalists the marks of mental disorder on their son first appeared when he was about twenty two; besides Chapman could graduate successfully from the college. These facts prove that Mark was not a psychopath by his nature, that mental situation...

...History essay A history event that changed or had and effect on the world today would be the year 1968 can be recognized by the mass-youth appeal in late twentieth-century political and intellectual culture. It's most frequently remembered for the assassination of Martin Luther King, the May uprisings by students and workers in France, the assassination of Robert Kennedy, the riots in Chicago during the Democratic National Convention, the massacre of government protesters in Mexico City during the weeks leading up to the Olympics, and the election of Richard Nixon--to name just a few of the more infamous events. It was a year marked by the beginning of America's decline as the single dominant economic power to emerge at the end of World War II. Many social changes that were addressed in the 1960s are still the issues being confronted today. The ‘60s was a decade of social and political upheaval. In spite of all the turmoil, there were some positive results: the civil rights revolution, John F. Kennedy’s bold vision of a new frontier, and the breathtaking advances in space helped bring about progress and prosperity. However, much was negative: student and anti-war protest movements, political assassinations, and ghetto riots excited American people and resulted in lack of respect for authority and the law. Edward Sanders' book-long poem entitled 1968: A History in Verse depicts all areas of the year 1968 from January 1st through the end of December. Sanders avoids depicting...

...'Brilliant', 'Quite Good', 'What?', these are just some of the comments made recently in the press regarding environment effect on organisation. There are many factors which influenced the development of environment effect on organisation. Indispensable to homosapians today, environment effect on organisation is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the worlds famous painters. Crossing many cultural barriers it still draws remarks such as 'I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole' and 'i'd rather eat wasps' from those most reliant on technology, who form the last great hope for our civilzation. Relax, sit back and gasp as I display the rich tapestries of environment effect on organisation. Social Factors As Reflected in classical mythology society is complicated. When J H Darcy said 'fevour will spread' [1] she must have been referning to environment effect on organisation. Spanning divides such as class, race and uglyness, environment effect on organisation smells of success. When one is faced with people of today a central theme emerges - environment effect on organisation is either adored or despised, it leaves no one undecided. Just as a dog will return to its own sick, society will return to environment effect on organisation, again and again. Economic Factors Our world is driven by supply and demand. Of course, environment effect on organisation fits perfectly into the Spanish-Armada model, making allowances for recent changes in interest...

...neutrality”. With the aid of specific examples and relevant literature, support or refute this contention. A bureaucrat is an unelected official whose main purpose is to serve the public interests to his maximum capacity, with efficiency, responsiveness, fairness and effectiveness. This can only be achieved if the bureaucrats are politically neutral, as politics extends further than core party politics, to relationships, religion, blood ties and ethnic groups. Politics leads to partiality, favoritism, appointment of unqualified bureaucrats and inaccessibility of these officials by the general populace, and corruption. Therefore an efficient, responsive, fair and efficient bureaucracy is based on political neutrality. Nevertheless, this has remained only as a utopia as bureaucracy and politics have proved to be inseparable and bureaucrats have proved to have remained political. Van Riper 1984, asserted that “the field of administration is a field of business. It is removed from the hurry and strife of politics,” Dwight Waldo states that “administration should not be driven by partisan patronage and electoral politics” This stands to mean that, as a business field, it should act business like, which involves impartiality and efficiency .This aspect can be paralleled to the ministry of education. Even though the bureaucrats are stationed in Harare, one can see that the same education received in Harare and that received in Binga is the same, regardless of the difference in...

...Power refused to integrate. The antiwar movement also sparked a new generation of people that became known as Flower Children or Hippies. They promoted nonviolence and advocated love, peace, and simpler idealistic values. However, many of the flower children were known to use drugs which increased the amount of people utilizing alcohol and drugs to get away from all the negativity. Even the music was influenced which began to promote love and sent out antiwar messages in its lyrics such as those by John Lennon. Later on a new genre emerged which was known as hard rock. Bands such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath played loud and hard music which became appealing to the younger generations. In 1969 the Woodstock Music and Art Festival had emerged as a means to exemplify the counter culture of the late 1960s. The antiwar movement continued to have a profound impact on society throughout the years to come. Many students from that point on began to take a larger stance in politics and continued to become peace activists. It also gave rise to more movements such as the Women, Chicanos, and LGBT Rights Movement. ...

...Bryant-45099 Part I.qxd 10/18/2006 7:42 PM Page 36 5 FEMINIST METHODOLOGIES AND EPISTEMOLOGY ANDREA DOUCET Carleton University, Canada NATASHA S. MAUTHNER University of Aberdeen, Scotland O ver the past 10 years of teaching courses on research methods and feminist approaches to methodologies and epistemologies, a recurring question from our students concerns the distinctiveness of feminist approaches to methods, methodologies, and epistemologies. This key question is posed in different ways: Is there a specifically feminist method? Are there feminist methodologies and epistemologies, or simply feminist approaches to these? Given diversity and debates in feminist theory, how can there be a consensus on what constitutes “feminist” methodologies and epistemologies? Answers to these questions are far from straightforward given the continually evolving nature of feminist reflections on the methodological and epistemological dimensions and dilemmas of research. This chapter on feminist methodologies and epistemologies attempts to address these questions by tracing historical developments in this area, by considering what may be unique about feminist epistemologies and feminist methodologies, by reviewing some of sociology’s key contributions to this area of scholarship and by highlighting some key emergent trends. The chapter begins with a brief overview of the theoretical and historical development of feminist epistemologies, followed by a similar overview...

...How did the feminist art movement influence expressionism? Gender equality is an issue that has gradually become a day to day affair in our society; it’s near impossible to avoid seeing it or hearing about it. However, gender equality as an issue is often associated with politics, not art, but as a result of it, feminists began to illustrate the issue through expressionist art forms. Feminist art was used to shock, educate and mock, as well as be used as an outlet for women to tell their story, which, through traditional values, was almost impossible. As a result, the expressionist art form evolved more than anyone could have ever imagined. The amount of new mediums and outlets that were explored and created as a result of feminist art was phenomenal. However, like with any other significant change, there were many critics that wished it hadn’t. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Traditionally, men were the dominant gender; the boss, and women were mere selfish pleasures used to sexually gratify a man. She must also cook for him, clean for him, bear his children and just simply act as the man’s object. These values carried over into the art world, where, female artists were virtually unheard of, they were only art works; objects of the male gaze. When women appeared in art, the majority were only half dressed or nude, as well as being placed in a vulnerable position; waiting for the man do dominate her. It was as the snowball effect started of feminist movements...

...Nixon is one of numerous public figures that turned to selfish and excessive means for winning. His desired success and attempted preservation of public ignorance through bribery, burglary, spying, and forgery reflects the culture of the American people themselves (Royster 257). Watergate, however, helped create more ethical standards for politics and therefore society as a whole (Dean). After Watergate, more than 40 percent of scandal-tainted politicians did not survive, whether it be through loss, retirement, or resignation (Basinger 395). This statistic depicts an improvement in societal and electorate standards and judgement for a specific...
