...Anthony A. Mason American History -1110 Exploration and expansion Europe 1400’s The 1400s marked a time of exploration and expansion. The three developments that stimulated the age of exploration and expansion for Europe was agriculture, growth, and technology. Europe was a country based upon agriculture, farming and the raising of livestock which had had been practiced in Europe for thousands of years. Europe was mainly Christian und the authority of the Catholic Church which was also a powerful land owner. During the time of exploration and expansion, many explorers to include the Spanish made voyages that changed world events. Explorers set out to explore for economic growth and expansion of commerce, new trade routes, knowledge, and wealth. But they discovered so much more than that. Religion had spread, new technology came about, maps improved, and of course they discovered new land, food, and people. There were both positive and negatives of the exploration. Although exploration impacted our world in a positive way, technology improve as so did trade and commerce that allowed Europeans and Spanish to dominate. It also impacted in a negative way. Many deaths occurred during this time period because of various reasons to include disease famine and slavery. The age of exploration was very good for our culture as a whole. Exploration and trade contributed to the growth of capitalism. This economic system is based on investing money for...

...Specifically, he wanted ministers that would be better suited to serve as Confederate ministers, should the Confederacy achieve international recognition. He selected John Slidell of Louisiana and James Mason of Virginia. Both men were respected throughout the South and had some background in foreign affairs. R. M. T. Hunter of Virginia was the new Confederate Secretary of State. His instructions to Mason and Slidell were to emphasize the stronger position of the Confederacy now that it had grown from seven to eleven states. An independent Confederacy would restrict the industrial and commercial ambitions of the United States and lead to a mutually beneficial commercial alliance between Great Britain, France, and the Confederate States. A balance of power would be restored in the Western Hemisphere as the United States' territorial ambitions would be restricted. They were to liken the Confederate situation to Italy's struggles for independence which Britain had supported, and were to quote Russell's letters which had justified that support. Of utmost importance, they were to make a detailed argument against the legality of the Union blockade. Along with their written instructions, Mason and Slidell carried a number of documents supporting their...

...Eyre, Edward Rochester, and Jane’s aunt, Mrs. Reed, learn that one lie or secret can accumulate into many lies or secrets and affects everyone around them as time progresses. In the beginning of the story Jane’s aunt, Mrs. Reed, hides things from Jane as a child, which affects her as a young adult, and Jane learns the secret of Thornfield which not only changes her life, but many others as well. In other words, characters’ lives, personalities, and so much more can change due to lies and secrets, just how Mrs. Reed keeps secrets and lies to Jane as a child that affect her as a young adult. Initially, Mrs. Reed kept secrets and lied to Jane as a young child to not allow Jane to have a good life as a child, and an adult due to her jealousy. For an example, as a child, Jane was punished for actions she did not do, but her cousin John did and got away with because of Mrs. Reed’s jealously. As her punishment, she was sent to the red-room which frightened Jane because her uncle, Mr. Reed, passed away in it. In the red-room there was a secret drawer in the closet. Inside of the secret drawer there were papers, clothes, a jewel-casket, a portrait of Mr. Reed, “and in those last words lies the secret of the red-room—the spell which kept it so lonely in spite of its grandeur” (8). While Jane was in the red-room she began to wonder why she deserved such awful treatment and what has she done to her aunt for her to dislike her so much. Not only has Mrs. Reed kept secrets and lied to Jane as...

...Mr. Culbertson V. Mr. Brodsky 788 S.W.2d 156, 1990 Tex. App. LEXIS 1008 Texas Court of Appeals, 1990 An illusory promise is a statement which appears to form a legal contract; however, it is vague, and lacks mutuality, providing an option for the person making a promise to have no actual obligation to perform as stated. For example, if someone says "I will make you a pie tomorrow”, this is an illusory promise, because the subject of the pledge is not being asked for anything in return and the baker is receiving no consideration for the promised activity. Because there is no consideration, there is no contract and neither party can enforce the deal (Beatty Sameulson). Mr. Brodsky signed an option contract with Mr. Culbertson, and deposited a check of $5000, representing “earnest money”, to be held by the bank for the period of 60 days. Mr. Brodsky intended to purchase the real estate property from Mr. Culbertson, if the results of an engineering study and property inspection satisfied the requirements of his intended purpose for the property. The contract required the title company to hold the “earnest money” check in escrow until the expiration of the 60 day feasibility period. If Mr. Brodsky determined the property was unacceptable within this time frame, he could terminate the agreement, at his sole election, and demand the return of the earnest money with no further obligation of either party. An option contract is a “right, which operates as a continuing offer...

(Walsh, 2010) The court concluded that (TVA) hiring process was subjective and allowed racial discrimination against the Plaintiff and African American applicants. (Walsh, 2010) The Plaintiff’s claim of disparate impact failed because TVA employment practices lack discriminatory content, but affected one group more than others. In this case affect the African American applicants. During Dunlop claim of disparate treatment was succeed because the different treatment had to only show difference on the individual’s race, religion, national origin, disability, sex, age.

...This paper will be analysing a newspaper article from The Australian in relation to assimilation and Australian culture. Rintoul (2012) reported in the article that there was support from leaders of multiple faiths in Victoria to install prayer rooms in Australian Rules Football (AFL) venues. However, a former Victorian premier (Jeff Kennett) was against the move, positioning Muslim culture at odds with Australian culture and identity, deeming it incompatible with an iconic part of ‘traditional’ Australian culture. Therefore, this newspaper article may raise the question of whether migrants or Australians of faiths other than Christianity, particularly Muslims, are still expected to assimilate into a “traditional” Australian culture. This is...

Joan, acted against his father‘s wish. She established a trust and without considering the transaction, she initiated to move the house into the trust.

The court also accepted her claim. If her father had not had any document to show that Joan was no longer his power of attorney, Joan could claim that she was not aware of her father‘s decision.

...to this dichotomy, in Jane Eyre I found that Jane was not just limited to being this monstrous image since she also had a more angelic and dispassionate side after Lowood. As a result, similar to what Gilbert and Gubar had discovered, Bronte did not blend in with the male literature dichotomy (what is the male literature dichotomy?), but rather decided to merge the two traits in her protagonist Jane Eyre and showed that Bertha was her dark double (Hart 77). Therefore, by providing personal perspectives from Jane Eyre and relating them to Gilbert and Gubar’s theory, this paper will try to prove that indeed Bertha Mason was the ultimate madwoman figure that Bronte had illustrated in a methodical and deliberate manner: by first developing the character and second by creating a dark double which Bronte herself and Jane could relate to. Initially, as a reader I wondered, why would even the character of Bertha Mason be so important? Irrationally, it was not just because Bertha’s situation provided the title to Gilbert and Gubar’s famous book, The Madwoman in the Attic. However,...

...Vulnerable Population and Self-Awareness Paper Nancy Estrada NURS440 April 7, 2014 Mr. Steadman McPeters, MSN, CPNP-AC, RN * * * Vulnerable Population and Self-Awareness Paper I would like to introduce Yvonne Johnson. She is a 35-year-old African American woman raising15-year-old son Randall by herself. The father helps occasionally with child support, but it is Ms. Johnson who has primary custody of her son. Ms. Johnson works as an administrative assistant, however, she has a degree in marketing. Her job is stressful and although she has asked her boss to hire someone to help her, he has not done so. Ms. Johnson is unhappy with her job as she is clearly overqualified. She has not been able to find a job in marketing and does not want to move out of the area to look for employment because she’s lived there all her life and her family is there. Ms. Johnson’s family situation is not an uncommon one. According to Jacobson (2003), the Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated in a report that came in out in August, 2012, that approximately 67% of the African American homes in America children are being raised by the mothers. It is also suggested in "Incarceration Rate For African-Americans Now Six Times The National Average" (2013), that there are more African American males who are either uneducated or spend time in jail and therefore, this leaves the women little selection for a marriage partner. According to Culvert (2007) this same...
