...Michael Conger AMH 2010 http://www.bostonteapartyship.com/sons-of-liberty Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Sons of Liberty This internet assignment that I will be writing will focus on the Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty was an organization of American colonists that was created to protect the rights of the colonist and to fight taxation that was coming from the British. One of their biggest contributions was that they protested against the Stamp Act which was created to tax printed materials. The name of the site that I will be using is http://www.bostonteapartyship.com/sons-of-liberty. This website that I am using on my assignment is associated with both a virtual and physical museum located in Boston Massachusetts. After doing some research on the website, I could not find any information that related to any missions or purposes but it did mention who the provider of the site was. On the website, it says “this page was developed with the help of one of our great cast members here at the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum.” On the bottom of the page, there is a picture of another contributor to the website. That is MCCA, which stands for Massachusetts Convention Center Authority. On the main page of the website I am writing about, there is no audio or video material but there are other links that can be clicked on and are accessible to watch learning videos on the Sons of Liberty and other events around that period in time. The way to access those videos is to...

...4/12/2012 By: Derek Putnam | | The Sons of Liberty | | The Sons of Liberty | The Sons of Liberty used their power and influence to manipulate popular opinion, thereby inciting the public to act against the laws and control of England. They were one of the most influential groups behind the American Revolution. The start of the Sons of Liberty is something of a mystery. The group always met in secret and it is disputed where it all began. Some say it started in New York and some will say under the leadership of Samuel Adams the Boston chapter was first. One thing is certain though, they all had the same goal, to organize public opinion and coordinate patriotic actions against Great Britain. The Sons of Liberty met at night so not to attract the British soldiers and to keep their activities secret until they felt it was time to make them public. One of the main reasons the groups were started was to protest and campaign against the Stamp Act. That was just the start of what the group would protest against and continue to fight for liberty against Britain. The Sons of Liberty name actually came from a speech given to parliament by Colonel Isaac Barre, “the behavior of Britain’s officials toward Americans on many occasions has caused the blood of those Sons of Liberty to recoil within them”, which wasn’t intended to imply disloyalty towards the crown but when word got back to the colonies and they saw his words they used them to their benefit. Barre...

...The Boston Massacre took place on the evening of March 5, 1770. This rebellion resulted in the killing of around five colonists and it raised the tensions even more between the colonists and the British government, which later on lead to the awareness of a possible American Revolution. The question to be addressed in this research paper is which were the major events that over time lead to the Boston Massacre, such as the “Stamp Act of 1765”, “Quartering Act of 1765”, and the “Townshend Act of 1767”. The British Parliament introduced the “Stamp Act of 1765”, this new act had the main purpose to help the British crown pay the expenses of the results from the “French and Indian War”. This new introduction by the British Parliament resulted in a negative reaction from the people of the colonies. They believed that this new Act was just a justification to obtain more money from the colonies and continue to benefit only the Mother Country. Also, they believed that the British crown had no right to tax them due to the fact that they weren’t allowed to choose their representatives (“No Taxation Without Representation”). Riots and protests were very popular during this time period especially aggressive actions toward the tax officials. This actions later lead to the arrive of more British troops to prevent more revolts and maintain a...

...Liberty Hyde Bailey proved himself to be a major contribution to the agricultural world, especially through his research on horticultural topics. Bailey was known as the “Dean of American Horticulture” and he was rightfully named in credit to his success in a variety of areas. These areas include botany, horticulture, plant genetics, teaching, lobbying, writing, environmental movements, and traveling (Banks, 1994). Bailey’s vast abilities lead to a strong biography including his contributions to agriculture through his books and reports, education, societies created, movements built, and even research after retirement. Bailey made a significant impact on the agriculture industry which created guidelines and a better public understanding of horticulture and botany. Liberty Hyde Bailey was born in South Haven, Michigan on March 15, 1858. Bailey’s parents began their home as pioneers by making their living from the natural land around them. They learned crop and animal farming methods from collecting eggs to planting their own orchard. Although he was the third youngest son, Bailey became close with his father through their passion for crop production. After losing his mother and oldest brother, Bailey’s father remarried which relocated the family, however, they continued the apple orchard. Bailey became a specialist in the orchard and mastered...

...Running Head: HSCO 500 – RESEARCH PAPER TOPIC Overcoming a Forced Disability Promises R. Huff Liberty University HSCO 500 – Introduction to Human Services For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Romans 8:18 – 21 What is disability? Disability is the consequence of an impairment that may be physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental, or some combination of these. A disability may be present from birth, or occur during a person’s lifetime. What is child molestation? Child molestation is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation. I choose to research the effects of experiencing child molestation has on the mental, emotional, and human development of an individual. Research becomes more attractive and trustworthy when the researcher is able to provide concrete evidence to support noted hypothesis and or theories. Throughout my research paper, theories and documented claims will be utilized...

Christians believe that God uses them on earth by his holy power to gather and encourage those that are lost. This is done by the message that Christ gave to the kingdom. 1 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Christians no matter the race or gender must know that God reigns and that God is the only one who can give favor, peace, love and joy through faith in his son Jesus Christ...

...Albanian Women in their Culture Sociology 101 CRN 70759 September 25, 2015 Abstract This paper examines some over views of the cultural diversity of women in Albania. In Northern Albania there are some women who had decided to take on a gender role of a man. I had some really interesting insight after reading authors’ facts and opinions on a woman’s role in Northern Albania. This paper will explain my insights I have learned from my research about women of Northern Albania. Women in Northern Albania had no liberal rights and were not equal to a man. In particular; what I wrote about in my findings of research was the Albanian women who decided to take on a gender role of a man in their society. Albanian Women in their Culture In this case, my researching of some Albanian women choosing to take the gender role of a man is understandable under their circumstances. I do look at this from a walk-in-my-shoes point of view. The best way to understand is with an open mind and considerate respect of Albanian’s culture. The question in our essay prompt; is can we use a standard “quality of life” evaluating people from their culture? Probably so; but in my research it would be hard not to avoid cultural relativism and or ethnocentrism in examining cultures different from our own. If I were to visit Northern Albania and have the opportunity to meet with these women who decided to take on the gender role of a man; I would not judge their actions of their choices. In amazement...

...Research Paper: The Impact of Divorce on Children Jimmy Trolinger Liberty University On-Line Author Note Jimmy Trolinger, Psychology Student at Liberty University Prepared for Professor Jennifer Kennedy Psychology 210 D-12 Liberty University Abstract Divorce causes many problems for children and has many implications. Psychological implications include mental health problems and behavioral problems. Social roles are turned inside out and upside down. Children are often pulled in many directions. In the United States divorce is very common and often leaves children confused and without options. Many turn toward violence, crime, drugs, and isolation. Studies show how adults can reduce the tension for these children. Other studies show how we can help guide them through religious implications as well as legal problems. Parents and caregivers need to be able to identify and know how to help children with their psychological, social, religious, and legal issues in this critical and chaotic period of the child’s life. How Divorce Affects Our Children Researchers have done many research projects and studies on how divorce can affect children. Many problems can develop in a child during and following a divorce as well as the period of pre-divorce. Some of the problems that a child can have before during and after a divorce are mental health, behavioral, social, and religious problems. Psychologists, councilors, teachers, and parents...

...Many historians have had trouble finding information about his life as a child. You would think there would be endless supply of info on someone so historic and monumental to this country. Now that you know George Washington’s basic background, I want to touch on three major topics that truly affect what this paper is all about. The Prism of History, first I will discuss the religion that George Washington believed in, and how that affected his leadership. Secondly I will cover the Arts and Ideas George had for our country. Lastly I will touch on his family and his views on society. George Washington’s great, great grandfather Lawrence Washington was a pastor for the Anglican Church. Naturally as in most families, Religion and personnel views are passed to future generations. We all know we learn everything from our parents and relatives. So George Washington’s background is with the Anglican Church. However research showed George had a different relationship with God and many aspects of religion of that time...

...McCarthyism and The Second Red Scares impact on Media in the 1950-60s decades (Research and Analysis Paper) In 1950, fewer than 50,000 Americans out of a total US population of 150 million were members of the Communist Party(Gilder Lehrman). However following WWII the the time period of the 1950-1970 was marked as a period of mass fear of Communism. American fears of internal communist infiltration reached Its highest point since the First Red Scare of the 1920-30s. Government organizations investigated millions of americans, “asking what books and magazines they read, what unions and civic organizations they belonged to, and whether they went to church” (Gilder Lehrman). This time period was also marked by the major shift and blacklisting of celebrities primarily in show business. One of the people who took full advantage of the mass hysteria was Senator Joseph McCarthy from Wisconsin. McCarthy began his crusade by giving a speech at the Women’s Republican Club of Wheeling, in West Virginia, where he stated that he had a list of over 220 confirmed communists living in the US. The numbers of this statement dropped over the years as people began to watch him more closely. However this didn’t stop him from rising to more power, after the Republicans regained a majority in the senate, McCarthy took control of a subcommittee, and performed investigations on government agencies. Other Cold War “activists” consisted of Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey, union leader Walter Reuther...

...Reflection Paper 2 Eduardo E. Mendez HLTH 551 Liberty University Part I “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6, NIV) Summary From the very first time man sinned in Eden, the question of deception, truth, and lies has been a difficult one. Our enemy, satan, is the father of lies. Jesus Himself said to the Jews, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44, NIV) Jesus is the truth; satan is the deceiver. The question remains, who is our real father? We want our answer to be Jesus, and once we receive Him as Lord and Savior our salvation is sealed, and our names are written in the Book of Life, yet who’s character do we reflect? It seems a lie can often be excused if it is said with good intentions. However, lying is never excused or encouraged in the Bible, on the contrary, many are the warnings against it including the ninth commandment which exhorts us to never “give false testimony”. (Exodus 20:16, NIV). Although not an easy task in this fallen world, it should be a Christian’s desire to be more like Jesus, and “speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ”. (Ephesians 4:15, NIV). Part II Abraham’s...

...facts and reliable sources that can be verified. In Judith Levine article “I Surf, Therefore I am” (Salon magazine, 1997) Levine, says, “most of the data my students Net is like trash fish.” I believe she made this statement because she feels most of the information students acquire from the internet is not useful and reliable. Students need to make sure they are getting information from reliable sources. I am guilty of using an internet as a resource to study for a quiz and I did not do well on the quiz because some of the information was not reliable. On another note, the internet has been a valuable educational resource for me and other online students. University’s like Liberty University that offers online education is a great resource for adult learners. I work full time and have two sons, therefore my time is limited, and so going to school online has made it easier for me to balance work, family, and school. I feel blessed and privileged to be able to go school online. Online education is also a valuable resource for students who are handicapped or who may not have dependable transportation to and from school. In addition, the internet...

This process must not be taken lightly to ensure that these ideas and strategies are successfully implemented in the organization. Comcast can ensure success by making certain that they observe each of the four phases in the innovative process and using tools and techniques to their full advantage. One thing that must not be ignored is how to measure these implemented innovations and make certain there is continual improvement toward success. Comcast has what it takes to be successful if they can successfully implement the innovative process in their future ideas and strategies. Four Basic Phases of the Innovative Process There are four basic phases in the innovative process; utilizing these phases will ensure success for Comcast in their future endeavors.

...hear her frustration with students who feel that using the information on the computer is the way to an easy passing grade. However, I also can see where a little guidance from her will go a long way toward helping these students sort through and discover the pieces of information that will help them. Students look to their teachers to guide them. Many schools and teachers have not realized that there is a variety of ways students can access information over the internet. According to a study conducted by the American Institutes for research, “Students report that there is a substantial disconnect between how they use the Internet for school and how they use the Internet during the school day and under teacher direction.” (Levine and Arafeh, p. ii) There is no doubt that the students encountered by Ms. Levine and her contemporaries will continue to turn in sub-standard work without guidance from them on what is a quality piece of research and what is a “dog” (Levine, p. 223). As an older student, I recall the days...
