...Captains of Industry? Or Robber Barons? [pic] Overview: The thirty years plus, following the end of the Civil War, is often referred to as the “Gilded Age”. This was a term coined by Mark Twain, the most renowned American writer of the period. It refers to a superficial period of intense economic growth. During this time, businessmen created large business organizations known as trusts. The ingenuity of these entrepreneurs earned the titles of “Captains of Industry”. Yet, their ruthlessness in building wealth at the expense of their competitors, workers and consumers often earned them the title “Robber Baron”. This DBQ (Document Based Questions) asks you to decide whether these businessmen were “Captains of Industry” or “Robber Barons”. Background Essay During the post-Civil War period, an era commonly referred to as the Gilded Age, the economy of the United States grew at a fantastic rate. With the exception of a recession during the mid-1870s, and another during the mid-1890s, the economic growth was in unprecedented in United States history. Manufacturing output increased by 180 percent. Railroads, an important catalyst of growth, increased in miles by 113 percent. Steel production grew to over 10,000,000 tons per year by 1900. Every aspect of the American economy expanded from traditional activities to new enterprises brought about by the huge influx of cutting-edge technological inventions. The gross national product almost doubled during the period and the per...

...Many of you are aware that throughout your High School education you will have to present a speech whether in English or in your other subjects. I personally hate speeches as I am a very shy person but what can you do about it? Well, we can learn from the experts in this field whose speeches were given many years ago but their voices still linger today. So why does it still have an impact today? It is because of their abilities to express a distinctive voice throughout their speeches. What is a distinctive voice? How are great ideas communicated? What do you want your audience to think, feel, act or do? I am here to tell you all these things so listen up as I try to convince you that effective speeches require a distinctive voice. I will explore the effects of distinctive voices in Martin Luther King’s ‘I have a dream’ speech, John.F.Kennedy’s Inaugural address and Nelson Mandela’s Inaugural address. Passion is a fundamental aspect of speeches and it comes through the sustained use language techniques, which Martin Luther King Jr explored in his ‘I have a dream’ speech. MLKJ was a passionate leader and a civil rights activist who pushed for racial equality in America in 1963.King’s lavish use of metaphors such as ‘America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked insufficient funds’ which signifies how America has overlooked the Negros, is a clear representation of how distinctive voices need great ideas. One of the key ideas King proposed was...

...Rebellion and introduces the reader to Nathaniel Bacon, the leader. In that year, the individuals in Virginia contained feelings of distress, anger, suppression, and felt poverty-stricken. This made it easier for Bacon to form a rebellion. Zinn then covers the topic of indentured servants and expresses their sufferings. Many tried to rebel or go on strike, but many succeeded more in escaping. Zinn also mentions the separate social classes in that time. In Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States first three chapters, he talks about( synonym, contrasts, talks about controversial topics, ) Christoper Columbus and the Indians, the need for human progress and their fatalities, African slaves, racism, rebellions (read chapter 3 lmao). Zinn makes sure to include everyone’s side of the story. He even criticizes other Historians and their methods of excluding truths to blind the reader. Zinn not only tells the story from the popular point of view, like columbus, but also the lesser point of views, like the indians. He does this not to create pity or sympathy, but to make sure to include everyone's story. He includes the bad and the good from both sides, allowing the reader to decide who to see with or what to believe. Howard Zinn includes the Indians’ poorly mentioned point of view. He includes Columbus’s accomplishments but also the cruelties done to the indians. The indians greeted the sailor with hospitality but the europeans were blinded with the ambitious need for...

...of legislation. We could create new laws that make owning any sort of technology illegal, and if you’re caught breaking the law the first time, you will receive a ticket with a fine of $10,000, but the second time you will be sentenced to life in prison. We could melt batteries and make them into sports equiptment so maybe we could end obesity at the same time. As for the broken down parts of televisions, cell phones, and game systems, we could break the parts down and build houses for the poor. The banning of electronics and social media will benefit our society tremendously! Just think about all of the car accidents that happen yearly due to cell phones. Really? You had to look at your phone and cause a fatal accident all to reply with LMAO? Well now that will not be an option, and drivers can simply go out for a relaxing “Sunday drive.” People will also be able to actually have a conversation face-to-face with someone, and will no longer have to type LOL when you can actually laugh out loud. This will greatly increase society’s communication skills. We could also reduce the rates of childhood obesity by abolishing technology because kids will have nothing to do, so they will be forced to go outside and experience the great outdoors! You will no longer have to hide your phone behind a book in class to tweet about how you just found a penny, and no more typing in a calculator to see if two times zero equals zero. All of these things will cause society to become far more educated...

...I. INTRODUKSYON Tungkulin ng mga kabataan ang mag- aral. Kapag ang mga mag-aaral ay napagod na sa kanilang pag-aaral halimbawa’y sa kanilang pagrerebyu , may dalawang bagay sila na maaaring gawin: Una ay ang magpahinga o matulog para may lakas sila na ipagpatuloy ang kanilang pag-aaral at ang ikalawa ay ang paghahanap ng mapaglilibangan at random na kaalaman sa pamamagitan ng pagsangguni sa tinatawag na “digital miracle” – ang Internet, na kung saan ito’y isang sistema na ginagamit ng buong mundo upang makipagkonekta sa mga kompyuter sa iba’t ibang uri ng telekomunikasyon at iba pa kung saan walang nakatagong datos sa publiko. Sa tanang kasaysayan ng edukasyon, malaki na ang naimbag ng internet. Sa katunayan, ang internet ang isa sa mga pangunahing paraan kung bakit ang pag-aaral ay nagiging madali, mabilis at mabisa. Kung kaya naman at napakaraming mag-aaral ang sumasangguni sa internet para sa kanilang pag-aaral. Ngunit, ang internet ay nagbibigay rin ng kaligayan at kaaliwan sa mga mag-aaral. Dalawa ang pinakamadalas na ginagawa ng mga mag-aaral kapag sila ay sumasangguni sa internet: Ang “social-networking” na kung saan ito’y naging pangunahing instrumento sa madaling komunikasyon tulad ng Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram at iba pa. At “Online Gaming” na kung saan kinahuhumalingan dahil sa mga grapiko nito tulad ng Defense of the Ancient, Mercenary, iDate at iba pa. At dito, isinisilang ang mga kakaibang salita na pinagtatakahan...

...In recent years, there has been an extraordinary rise in digital communication, especially through mobile phones and social media; reading the newspaper has become reading a blog, watching the television has become watching YouTube videos. Younger generations have been pretty much born in a world that resolves around sharing and reading content on the web. Digital communication considerably influences the way we speak. But is this good or bad? Multi-modal language is simply any type of commination that isn’t in person, face-to-face. One of the most common forms of multi modal is through social media. Because of it’s popularity, social media is clearly having an impact on language, however there are advantages and disadvantages to the way they influence it. Advantages include that it is usually free, you are able to keep in contact with distant family and friends and make potential friends who have common interests as you. Disadvantages however are that there is legal and ethical issues such as cyberbullying and fraud, people may become addicted and distract themselves from reality and that people rely on social media and lose real life social skills. Majority of the people that use social media are teenagers. There are plenty different language features used in digital communication. They each have different purposes and effects. Emoji’s/Emoticons -- Emoji’s are used to show the overall emotion of the message. Through texting you are not able to see a person’s facial expression...
