...Valley Forge was the camp 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia where the Continental Army spent the winter of 1777 and 1778 during the Revolutionary War. Although the conditions were bad, and others may have quit, I wouldn't have, I would stay at Valley Forge and fight for Washington's army because only 15% of people died, the inspirational words of Thomas Paine and the help from the Congressmen.. One of the reasons for my opinion on this is because the graph in Document A, which if looked at explains how although a lot were sick, the death toll was much less. There were almost 4,000 who were sick out of the 8,000, but only ~1,800 of the 12,000 people were dead. This means that you would have an 85% chance of living, which is pretty reasonable for that time, and wouldn’t be make me want to quit. Another great piece of evidence are the words of Thomas Paine, an English-American political activist and political theorist. Even though many were going to quit, his words encouraged them to keep fighting despite the troubles at Valley Forge. The text in Document D are from him, saying to not be a “Summer Soldier” or a “Sunshine Patriot”. This means to not give up when times are tough and endure it all for the freedom of their nation, and themselves. In the same document it was also said by Thomas...

...Social Movements in India: Meaning, Features and Other Details! A social movement is a mass movement and a collective attempt of people to bring about a change, or to resist any change. The concept central to any social movement is that people intervene in the process of social change, rather than remaining mere spectators or passive participants in the ebb and flow of life. People seek to become proactive actors in altering the course of history. In order to achieve their aim of making a difference to the world they live in, they either initiate or become a part of collective action. Individuals consciously act together with a sense of engagement in a common enterprise. Social movements possess a considerable measure of internal order and purposeful orientation. It is, in fact, this organization that strengthens the movement to challenge the established institutions. A social movement can be described more or less as a persis¬tent and organized effort on the part of a relatively large group of people to bring about or resist change. However, the number of persons participating is not the criteria for describing any movement as a collective action. The movement must have a leader to guide and execute the plan of action and possess the power to sustain the movement. Social movements, however, are different from pressure groups or institutional movements. Institutional movements are highly organized, permanent, and primarily occupation-based. Social movements are spontaneous...

...At nineteen years old, being a varsity athlete and ending my freshman year of college; crisis’ are, or were, the least of my worries. Honestly, almost all of these crisis had never even touched the tip of my tongue let alone inside my brain. I know that this world is not by any means perfect; this world has an abundance of debt, wars, political differences, economic struggles, religious conflicts, etc. But this imperfect world is how we evolve and revolve. Sure there are crisis’ and many more that weren't discussed during this “revolutionary period” of humanities, but what is the common and REAL crisis? To me, the real crisis of our time is that we are so self-centered in a materialistic world that we are blinded by the importance of other people and the beauty in the nature of the world and most importantly a Christian lifestyle. We must work to be in touch with reality, connected with nature, and being in a Christ centered membership. As Dr. Frazier states, “The crisis of the crisis is that people don't perceive the crisis.” It is our calling to remain awake through this time and help others remain awake so that together we can make a change. But we must not look at crisis’ as always negative. It is here our crisis’ help us revolve and evolve as people and a society together. Everywhere we look we see people on their phones; at the dinner, in school, while driving, with friends, etc. This is the problem with society. It is like we are just going through the motions of the...

...attitude helps you to maintain calm and think things through clearly a rationally. This is crucial because improving your thinking depends on the habits and attitudes of others. Sometimes it can be hard to maintain a calm and critical state in times of stress or chaos. Problem solving and planning involves careful observation, interpreting, evaluating, and more, which can be difficult if distracted by emotions. The second one I think they may have used would have been Summarizing. Summarizing can help a person visualize all key elements. Samuel Adams may have used an analytical process. He assessed both sides of the issue and all consequences of their actions before he planned what he would do. Thomas Hutchinson most likely weighed the pros and cons in order to increase trade for the colonies and placing them in a better position economically. 2.

Overview and Purpose of the Research Project The role of women in combat has changed drastically over the years. Their inclusion in the military has increased followed by their involvement. However, the women are still limited in terms of what roles they are allowed to take. The general stigma against women depicts them as homemakers and their place in combat cannot exceed certain levels such as allowing them in the front line. There are other factors that have been linked to their limitation including their capacity to handle emotions, their need for extended leave when they get pregnant and their overall performance as compared to the men. People are constantly advocating for equal rights in men and women. In a bid to achieve that, women should be encouraged to uptake military positions...
