...Symbolism: Regeneration of French Society The Regeneration of French Society came from the revolutionaries’ aggravation with the government of France. King Louis XVI was an incompetent and ineffective ruler. The Monarchy and nobility engaged in political conflict over reform of the tax system, leading France to bankruptcy. In order to regenerate French society the revolutionaries had to reform the main leading figure and symbol of power, King Louis XVI and the absolute monarchy. Although the revolutionaries at first did not intentionally try to inspire nationalist symbols from the events of the French Revolution, the republican ideals of liberty, freedom, and equality that arose from the fighting, nevertheless came to be embodied in French art as powerful symbols that helped to further drive the revolution. The events of the French Revolution were not intended to create nationalist symbols, and only later developed symbolic significance, they were at the time rational acts in attempt to reach a goal. Nevertheless, paintings of the events reinforced republican ideals and symbolism and artwork became a visual aid to the revolution. The artwork was a way for the revolutionaries to visually express nationalism and their goals in a coterminous fashion, combining the two and linking them. French art in a way advertised the revolutionary ideals and the events which publicized the French Revolution. In July 1788 the announcement that the king was going to make the Estates...

...To what extent can housing led regeneration schemes tackle social exclusion? Written by: Rosalie Burke – University of Westminster MA Housing Policy and Practice (April 2012) In order for housing led regeneration schemes to tackle social exclusions, the regeneration organisers and the residents of the area will have to play their parts. This paper will be looking at how regeneration schemes can tackle social exclusion by creating mixed tenures, and what roles residents can play in sustaining mix tenures in order to tackle social exclusion. This paper will also look at if social exclusion can be kept out of housing regeneration schemes in this bad economical climate which has seen many job losses and the changes in which the Localism Act has introduced. Regeneration programmes, are normally conducted in areas which are deemed to be poor and is usually based around improving the quality of housing and tackling social exclusion. Regeneration can be funded by the public sector and a mixture of private and public sources (Muir, 2008). Regeneration schemes can bring in investors to the area which in turn can create employment opportunities and from employment, this would lead to money being spent in the area, people would want to raise a family, work and continue to live for a very long time. Regenerating an area does not always mean knocking down the whole community and starting again, it can be that some of the properties are knocked down because...

...THE DOCTRINE OF BAPTISMAL REGENERATION: AN ANALYSIS OF ITS ASSOCIATION WITH THE RESTORATION MOVEMENT A Research Paper Submitted to Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Online In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course Systematic Theology II (TH 530-D09) By Justin Hartpence (23828793) May 12, 2013 THESIS STATEMENT This paper shall argue that this is an inaccurate depiction and seek to put forth the common view of baptism in the Restoration Movement as distinct from the common understanding of baptismal regeneration, while pointing to key factors that play a role in popular inaccuracies. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 DEFINING REGENERATION 2 DEFINING BAPTISM 3 The Mode 3 The Subject 4 The Meaning 6 According to Classic Baptismal Regenerationists 7 According to Restoration Movement Theology 8 BAPTSIM AS THE OCCASION OF SALVATION 9 John 3:5 9 Titus 3:5 11 BAPTISM'S RELATION TO FAITH 12 CONCLUSION 14 SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY 15 INTRODUCTION Change: it is an inevitable fact of life. Whether it is plant, animal, human or thought nothing exists for very long without addition or subtraction of some kind. Unfortunately theology is not immune. One need only survey the history of Christianity to see this disconcerting fact. Like a pendulum, however, as theology sways outward from its starting point there are inevitably forces that pull it back. This happened most notably in the Reformation under the guidance of reformers...

...What comes to mind when you hear people say “women should be in the kitchen” or “men should be playing sports and being tough?” Do you agree with this statement? This leads to my extensive question, is gender more than biological differences between men and women? Good afternoon, my name is Marco Loproto and I’m here to enlighten on the issue within in today’s society, gender. Society depicts females and males of having different attributes but some may disagree with this. In many cases women are perusing their dream and participating in task that is perceived to be masculine, whilst males can be portrayed as obscuring their manhood. This is exemplified in the movie Bend it like Beckham and the novel regeneration. In society Gender roles are constantly changing; women are often made to feel inferior to males but it is through one’s talents that they are able to prove their superiority, which is evident in the film ‘Bend it Like Beckham’ directed by Gurinder Chadha. Thus supporting the statement gender is more than biological differences between men and women. Throughout the film, the protagonist Jess who is of Punjabi background is constantly challenging the gender stereotype. This is demonstrated in the extreme long shot which sets the scene for the movie. Within the film Jess consistently contemplates with her gender stereotype within the film. Chandha cleverly demonstrates this when Jess is playing soccer and she makes a run with the ball. The low angle shot, works to...

...Part 1 Richard Slotkin The notion of Regeneration through Violence is not new to the American cultural concept, nor is the intensive use of myth. Richard Slotkin’s book meticulously accounts how the use of violence has been integral to the construction of a distinctly American mythology. Slotkin argues, “In American mythology the founding fathers were not those 18TH-century gentlemen who composed a nation at Philadelphia. Rather, they were those who tore violently a nation from implacable and opulent wilderness”. As a result regeneration ultimately became the means of violence, and the myth of regeneration through violence became the structuring metaphor of the American experience. In describing the evolution of the myth of regeneration through violence, Slotkin describes North America as an empty, unoccupied wilderness where resources are rich and land is free for the taking, or if not exactly free, the land becomes the rightful spoil of war for those representing the interests of civilization and progress. The symbolic landscape of the frontier narrative is marked by boundaries and by the encounter of opposites; civilization and savagery, man and nature, whites and Indians, good and evil. These encounters are characterized in terms of conflictand violence as the protagonist struggles against the harsh environment, the unknown and potentially hostile Indians, and the savagery of the empty land. As Slotkin argues, European American encounters with the wilderness produced...

.... Comparing Gods and Goddesses HUM/105 June 15, 2011 Comparing Gods and Goddesses Myths are narrative stories that describe the creation of the world and how the first humans came into existence. According to Leonard and McClure (2004), human societies began as goddess-oriented and matrifocal (women-centered). Human societies evolved from primitive beginnings to a superior culture system of patriarchy (Leonard & McClure, 2004, p. 104). Although myths may differ from culture to culture, common elements and roles exist in each myth. In today’s society, myths and legends are fantasy-filled tales from ancient societies long gone. Therefore, Team A will describe the elements and functions of goddess myths, and compare two myths of the female divine from different cultures. Second, the team will describe the elements and functions of god myths, and compare two myths of the male divine from different cultures. Last, the team will summarize the elements and functions shared by both divines. According to the euhemerist Gimbutus, goddesses have three basic roles life, death, and regeneration (Leonard & McClure, 2004, p. 114). The goddesses of life are Mother Earth, nature, sea, and universe. These goddesses are nurturers and overseers of security and contentment, prosperity and growth, and creativity and artistry. The mother earth goddesses are creators of earth and universe, such as Gaia of the ancient Greeks, and Tellus of the Romans. These two Earth goddesses gave...

...Early successional forest provides countless benefits not only to wildlife, but to sportsmen, bikers, hikers, photographers, as well as conservationists and naturalists everywhere. It also contributes to the overall diversity and health of the forest. To wildlife, ESH provides many necessities for survival. The rapid growth of young vegetation provides avid cover and nesting habitat for game and song birds, as well as small and large mammals-- such as the american woodcock, ruffed grouse, whitetail deer and more. Regeneration forests produce a multitude of diverse foods. ESH bears a plethora of insects-- preyed on by nearly all bird species--fruits from berry plants, stems and shoots of new trees, and other young vegetation eaten by wildlife. This diversity of plants also benefits forest health, creating a rejuvenation of old forest, transition zones, and mature forests. Sportsmen recognize the benefits of ESH too. Populations of game in areas managed for regeneration forests tend to be much higher, and it is no coincidence. Fifty six to sixty percent of mammals use early successional habitat. However, many species that depend of this habitat populations are declining....

...Explore the ways in which the three texts present the suffering of soldiers in the war. World War One is known as “the war to end all wars”[1]. The war cultured “extreme suffering” which inspired many writers. The war also aided the advancement of attitudes towards the emotionality of men. Individual suffering is manipulated to intensify the pain by isolating singular characters. Sacrifices of the men force the reader into an uncomfortable atmosphere. Sebastian Faulks’ Bildungsroman Birdsong highlights the suffering of individual to understate that of the masses. Regeneration, written by Pat Barker in 1991, uses factual occurrences of Sassoon and Owen’s lives in Craiglockhart to detail historic experiences of suffering. The poetry features both pro and anti-war perspectives from historical figures featured within Regeneration. Birdsong emotively persuades readers that individual anguish has detrimental effects on soldier’s lives intensifying their suffering. The texts use third person narrative to create emotive circumstances which manipulate the reader into understanding the suffering as either mass or individual. The writers’ portrayal of individual suffering was the most poignant compared to the subversion of widespread suffering. The texts expose the stigmatization of physical disability as a cause of individual suffering. Historically, the dependence of disabled life reflects the burden faced by soldiers of returning to normality. Wilfred Owen’s poem Disabled explores the...

...Outline the argument that supermarket power is a zero sum game When looking at the concept of a zero sum game it is important to understand the key players and the power supermarkets hold. Do they regenerate a community with ailing high streets in times of economic hardships or are they a knife in the back for small businesses offering a monopoly on goods, influence and advertising power. unmatchable by the smaller shops. In today's consumer society, we are what we buy. Data collected by the office of national statistics show that food is the third biggest expenditure in the average British household. With the average weekly spend being around £40 to £50 per week. (ONS, 2008) Which is a lucrative market indeed. It seems undeniable when considering the big four supermarkets: Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's take almost three out of every four pounds spent on food and groceries (Bevan, 2006) that these supermarket giants hold a vast amount of power. However is this power used in a positive or negative way. Do they bring regeneration or do they cost us as the consumer a degree of independence? Is supermarket power a zero sum game where the positives and the negatives balance so there is no true winner or could it be said that supermarket power is a positive sum game that the positives far outweigh the negatives. One of the most controversial points of the debate surrounding supermarket power is the effect that these "superstores" have on the smaller independent businesses...

...et al. 2014. Society: Realizing China's urban dream. Nature. [Online]. 509(7499), pp. 158-160. [Accessed 15 October 2014]. Available from: http://www.nature.com/news/society-realizing-china-s-urban-dream-1.15151 The source is an e-journal that looks to discuss China’s new urbanization plan, its impact, and the issues this plan would cause the Chinese people and the environment. The journal is not targeted at a specific audience, but, rather, for anyone interested in this subject to read. This journal is very relevant because China is a developing country which is proved by the urban expansion between 1978 and 2012 where “the fraction of the nation's population dwelling in cities increased from 17.9% to 52.6%”. This article is useful for constructing the body of the essay and offers many examples of challenges China faces as a developing country. A primary example of an issue is that in the last ten years, the urban built-up land area in China has grown by 78.5%, but the urban populations has grown by 46% which “over-reliance on income from land release” This source is recent (2014), and speaks about a proposed urban development plan in China, so, therefore, there was not any definitive successes provided. It does however offer numerous challenges of urban development that can be used throughout the...

...Foote examines class and gender in the novel Little Women. The first section in the article discusses anger and resentment. Details how the girls in the novel deal with gender, anger, and repression. The home is a safeguard for the March girls. The second section discusses the gender roles learned at home and the March girls going out into the world. The failures and successes, and how the roles in the family set their roles in society. Foote writes how Jo’s ambiguousness for society made it harder for her to become accepted in society, and as Meg’s love of the social graces gave her an open door for her future. Amy’s domestic life choices make her the first sister to marry, and how Mrs. March speaks of hoping her daughters move up in class as they enter into society. The third section Foote focuses on the distinctive difference in the classes the three sisters live. How they find love and how each marriage is so very much different. Grasso, Linda.

...they wield in the modern world is of interest to social scientist as a means of understanding consumer society. The market power and buying power of the four major supermarkets, and their expansion has brought claims and counter claims from pro and anti supermarket factions. This essay describes supermarket power, and using social science concepts, claims and evidence explains both pro and anti supermarket viewpoints. Consumerism is a way of life in Britain today, and the way people shop has changed, with shopping malls and the big supermarkets taking a large percentage of the profit once enjoyed by local smaller shops. (Kevin Hetherington, 2009, pg.20). For those with more disposable income the brand of trainers they wear, the food they eat, the cars they drive may become a status symbol. Warren Susman believes people buy goods to express their personality, which gives them a sense of self esteem or status, a desired lifestyle to aim for. (Susman 2003,pg.280cited in J Allen 2009). Whilst other sections of society with less disposable income may find themselves excluded. Although of course people do still shop for essentials, shopping has become much more of a leisure pursuit, or pastime, whole television channels are dedicated to shopping, and the after Christmas sales often make the headlines and the national news. Social scientist Zygmunt Bauman describes modern society as the seduced and the repressed. Bauman uses these words to illustrate and convey his concept, of consumer’s...

...Kibble HPE/170 September 6, 2012 Linda Morrow * * 1. What can influence an individual to not meet their training plan expectations? * Time and goals take precedence when developing a plan for physical exercise program. One must evaluate the individual for mental and physical health limitations. Physical fitness programs must be conducive for the individual’s occupational, family, and personal life. Goals of fitness programs require accurate and achievable marks. Setting goals too high for individuals can guarantee high failure rate. Developing a fun program is essential for the success of the individual; if one hates the routine the odds are good, one will not see the program through to completion. * 2. If society has the knowledge of fitness factors, why do people continue making unhealthy choices? Why do they not develop sound physical fitness training habits? * Most individuals who do not heed the importance of exercise are usually from a family that has sedentary lifestyles or are not able to exercise because of impairments. Exercise is a conscious thought for some and others it is like a trip to the dentist. Knowing exercise is important one thing and using that knowledge is another. Some individuals are happy overweight and less than physical fit. Individuals often use obesity and little or no exercise in personal lives as a way to cover emotional problems or past traumas. Reasons for not exercising virtually have no limits. * 3. How...
