...Memorializing events from history are based on different criteria that come for the specific event. In some cases a memorial can pay tribute to a great achievement. Others are show respect for a tragedy that can never be changed. While these are good reasons to provide a memorial there are other things needed to be considered in order to be worthy of a memorial. Without certain criteria every signal failure and success to ever happen would be memorialized. With history being as eventful as it was I believe that understanding what deserves to be remembered is an important thing. The three factors that should considered when creating a memorial are the number of lives impacted, the purpose of this moment in time, and the ability for this memorial to bring healing to the people who need it. The first piece of criteria to consider is the number of lives impacted by the moment. In order to memorialize a moment in time it needs to have a lasting impact on people. Whether this impact has to do with people finding new land to colonize or burying the dead the lost in a tragedy. According to Source D, Savannah Memorial Park holds more than 3,000 graves dated back to as early as 1847. Kosareff states, "The pioneers from the Santa Fe Trail would bring their dead along with them, preserved somehow, and buried them here." Due to the fact the...

...There are a lot of memorials, monuments and markers across the United States. Their very existence serves the purpose of honoring the memory of an event, a person or a span of history. The significance of the landscape can be expressed in admonishing or admiring terms. In either case, these landmarks manage to garner both the local and the world’s attention. Such important monuments and memorials abound in the U.S. As 9/11 Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Liberty Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Korean War Veterans Memorial, and Washington Monument, among a myriad of others. This paper attempts to make a rhetorical analysis of one of the most important monuments in America, Washington Monument, in order to find out the relevance of this great monument conveys to its audience and how it...

...Facebook Alive or Dead Nichole M. Osborne Bis/221 2/16/15 Jamie Telesca MEMO Dear CEO, I have completed my research on the Facebook memorialization of its deceased members as you requested. I based my research on an article I found about Facebook memorializing deceased members by having the members set up an executive for their Facebook account in the event something happens to them. Below you will find my summary of what I read within my research. Facebook is starting to allow members to name someone as their executive if they were to die. Not only will members have what is usually in their will’s but now we have the option to have someone take responsibility of our social media accounts. Is this Ethical? Im sure we all will have many questions on this matter like these below. * If I die, and I want to be immortalized forever in Facebook glory, do I count toward the membership numbers? Does Facebook make advertising money on me forever? * Will Facebook run ads for tombstones, caskets, and flowers on my page when I die? * Can I set it up so certain "likes" disappear when I die? I mean, it was one thing when I "liked" Justin Bieber when I was alive. But do I really want people judging me when I'm dead? * What happens if my executor dies, too? Can he or she pass it on? Can I have 10 generations of my family running my Facebook page for me, so I can make sure everyone remembers two hundred years from now that I once watched How I Met Your Mother...

...“Once you crossed the gate to the Camp , There was no chance to get out of there alive”.- Chaim Hirszman.Memorials and monuments show, in part, the ways that communities and people have answered these questions. The gallery of images below exhibits a variety of memorials and monuments that have been constructed to remember the Holocaust. The introduction that follows explores the complex questions that memorials raise about how we choose to remember history. Memorials raise complex questions about which history we choose to remember. Some people distinguish between the two, saying that memorials are a response to loss and death and that monuments are more commemorative and celebratory . “Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator,...

Another incident included two German artists who switched the two American flags near the bridge to white flags. This is considered disrespectful to our country and won’t be tolerated. Future Scientists are beginning to wonder how much longer the Statue of Liberty will stand. As climate change and Global Warming get worse, scientists think it could become submerged underwater. Sea levels are rising and Statue of Liberty workers believe that it will be destroyed or submerged one day. When Hurricane Sandy hit the statue wasn’t affected, but everything around it was. They have had to restore buildings, roads, and many other things to make it a safer park. ...

...Memorials are variant by nature. They can be as complex as a whole museum based off a historical event, or they can be as simple as writing a tune that’s dedicated to a close friend. They can be completely personal - or they can be simply for remembrance. Monuments, however, are a bit more formal. A monument, by definition, is a structural figure whether it being a building, statue, or any other construction, that was built solely for the purpose to pay tribute to an acclaimed or significant person/event. When the location, size, material, and purpose for the monument is all carefully thought out, the monument becomes greatly successful in honoring what or who it was built for, thus achieving it’s purpose for existence. Therefore, these factors must be considered by the group or agency when constructing a monument....

...Victoria Pompei Acts of terror during the Korea War Many visit the Washington Mall without ever having seen the Korea War memorial, which is indicative of how misunderstood the Korea War is, hence its other name : The Forgotten War. Overshadowed by the Lincoln monument just a few feet away, this memorial commemorates the American men who served during the war that took place between 1950 and 1953. Nineteen stainless steals statues stand in a triangle form, surrounded by bushes and on their right a wall representing the 38th parallel. These statues evoke feelings of sorrow and anguish unlike any other monuments on the Mall, but what it fails to do is recall the lives lost due to acts of terror committed by US troops during that time....

...Source A shows that Gibraltar is interpreted as a fortress that became a little world of itself with 300 Jew and Genoese "the fortress became a little world of itself ... 300 Jews and Genoese "this was published by Drinkwater in 1785. The evidence that supports the statement that Gibraltar was a fortress is that there were sentries to prevent confusion and riot which means there was presence of military forces which showed that it was big enough to support military forces Source C supports Source A as it is interpreted as being a fortress in 1761 by colonel William Green , Royal engineers believed hat "Gibraltar was as tenable as any place in Europe. It was vulnerable from the sea, but as long Britannia ruled the waves, it was possible to make the Rock near impregnable as any fortress can be". This supports that interpretation of Gibraltar being a fortress. Source D supports source C as Governor Cornwallis said in 1768 "Gibraltar has its faults, but with them, as tenable as any place in Europe : where it is vulnerable is the sea .. Though it has often been said that Gibraltar is impregnable which no place is according to my notion, while you command the sea. the bay is extensive, our garrison small". However this also contradicts source C as it believes that Gibraltar is only interpreted as a small garrison. Source E supports Source D and C as in 1772 Major general Robert Boyd and colonel William Green supported by lieutenant Governor Edward Cornwallis remodelled Gibraltar's defences...

...The 9/11 memorial consists of two enormous reflecting pools that sit in the very footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood. A cascade of water falls from each wall and into the pools in a continuous stream. The pools are surrounded by bronze panels that are inscribed with the names of the nearly three thousand people who died in the attacks of 2001 and the World Trade Center bombing of 1993. Each of these components highlight the gigantic void that resulted from the attack. That is, they symbolize devastating loss. Encompassing the memorial is the memorial plaza. The surface of the plaza is decorated by a forest of swamp white oak trees. One tree, however, is different. It is a callery pear tree, now known as the, “Survivor Tree”. This tree was at the site on September 11, 2001. It was discovered in a pile of debris, nursed back to health, and returned back to the site. This is meant to represent...

...------------------------------------------------- Guidelines for writing a MemorialParticipation in the Telders International Law Moot Court Competition consists of an oral and a written part, the memorials. Through the years, many teams have lost vital points on editorial technicalities in their memorials even though these memorials were of a very high legal quality. Considering the fact that the memorials make up 50% of the total score, a proper presentation of the written arguments, in conformity with the Rules of Procedure, is vital in a competition that is getting more competitive each year. Why such an emphasize on presentation? Is the legal reasoning not the most important issue in this competition? Certainly so, but every participant should realize that also in legal practice, solidly and neatly presented legal documents are a "must". A well-written submission, a logically built-up argument is easier for a judge to understand. He or she is more likely to pick up counsel's line of argument and, hopefully, its submission. Uniformly used editing rules make it easier for a judge to find the documents, referred to in the Memorials and it will be easier for him or her to read through the document in general. A well written and neatly and uniformly presented document will show the judge that effort is being put into the case. Combine that with excellent legal arguments and most judges will at least be willing to listen to your case with an open mind.Clarity and consistency...
