...women were cultivated like those of men, they would be equal to the minds of the latter.” (Doc.2) Marie is standing up for herself, believing that her gender does not affect the way she learns and that the mind of men and women are the same. In Maria Sibylla Merian’s Wonderful Metamorphoses and Special Nourishment of Caterpillars, she wrote, “I collected all the caterpillars that I could find, in order to observe their metamorphoses. Thus, I withdrew from human society and engaged exclusively in these investigations.” (Doc.5) In this piece of work she mentions how ever since she was younger she was interested in science and that she had finally taken action about her interests. She mentions how she had stopped doing everything to give all her time to her investigations and even though this was socially acceptable she still continued to do what interested her. Dorothea Erxleben was the first woman to be granted a M.D. in Germany, she had wrote in the Inquiry into the Causes Preventing the Female Sex from Studying “Some will feel as if I declare war on men [by practicing medicine] or at least attempt to deprive them of their privilege.”...

...Early Modern. During this time period, scholars in Florence--and then much of Europe--revived the ancient ideas of the Greeks and Romans. That being said, the Renaissance was a completely different era due to: the birth of Humanism, revolutionary ideas, and the amazing pieces of art that were created during this time. Stunning pieces of art distinguished the Renaissance as its own time period unrelated to Medieval times. The best place to start is with the medieval mosaic, “Justinian & Attendants” by San Vitale. The mosaic is flat, depicts Christian themes, has no vibrant colors, and its most important figure has a halo around them (Doc 11). On the...

...The teachings of Socrates successfully shaped Ancient Greece into an advanced civilisation. To what extent is this statement correct? In 469BC, one of the most important philosophical influences in the Ancient Greek civilisation was born. Socrates’ teachings would continue to heavily impact on philosophical thought throughout the ages. Socrates began as a stonemason, but quickly made the change to a life pursuing the answers to all moral problems with emphasis on the right conduct by which one should live their life. His teachings attracted groups of young men who adopted his methodologies and became fascinated with the ideas he presented, which although popular with some, were often in conflict with the politicians in Athens at the time. Socrates lived through one of Athens’ most advanced eras and he saw firsthand the rise of the Athenian Empire. He often passed judgment and was highly opinionated on many issues which were putting Athens on the map, including democracy. He also promoted honesty and virtue as key contributors to a happy life. Socrates was one of only a few philosophers to be recognised for his work in his lifetime and this indicates that he must have been significant in some capacity. However, Athens was an ever-expanding empire, which meant that their culture was heavily impacted on by not just Greek people on the inside but also by the countries that they conquered and the foreigners who came to Athens as slaves or traders. These outside influences...

...8/2/2016 Twelve Olympians Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Twelve Olympians From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the ancient Greek religion and Greek mythology, the Twelve Olympians are the major deities of the Greek pantheon, commonly considered to be Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus.[1] Hades and Persephone were sometimes included as part of the twelve Olympians (primarily due to the influence of the Eleusinian Mysteries), although in general Hades was excluded, because he resided permanently in the underworld and never visited Olympus. Contents 1 Concept 2 Membership 3 List 3.1 The major Olympians 3.2 Other Olympians 3.3 Minor residents of Mount Olympus 4 Genealogy 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References Concept The Twelve Olympians, also known as the Dodekatheon (Greek: Δωδεκάθεον from δώδεκα,[3][4] dōdeka, "twelve" and θεοί, theoi, "gods"), were the principal deities of the Greek pantheon, said to reside atop Mount Olympus. The Olympians gained their supremacy in a war of gods in which Zeus led his siblings to victory over the Titans. Fragment of a Hellenistic relief (1st century BC – 1st century AD) The concept of the "Twelve Gods" is older than depicting the Twelve Olympians carrying their attributes in any extant Greek or Roman sources.[5] The procession; from left to right, Hestia (scepter), Hermes (winged cap gods meet in council in the Homeric epics...

...College Education “College graduates with a bachelor’s degree typically earn 66 percent more than those with only a high school diploma; and are far less likely to face unemployment” (U.S. Department of Education 1). Think of it this way: A big family with a mother and father. The father has a college degree and is earning as much money as he can for his big family, while the mother struggles to find a job with only a high school diploma. The father’s income is barely enough for the family to live off of from month to month, and it puts great strains on the family. College education is worth the cost. A person’s mindset can vary depending on the resources they’ve had. Many people will argue that high school and parents should have already prepared a person for life on their own. Parents should be teaching their children how to spend their money wisely and give them advice, but not pressure them into taking actions. The cost of college is worth it because it will better a person’s...
