... of Macedon had a great influence on his son's way of life, and one cannot begin to understand the magnificent achievements of Alexander's short life without understanding the influence and accomplishments of his father. Before Philip's rule, the Greeks held most of the power and influence over Macedon. Therefore, Macedon's power and influence are due almost entirely to Philip. At the time, Greece was not a single nation, but rather a collection of individual states, each with its own government. The Greeks did not derive their power form military strength, but from the cultivation of new ideas in the different areas of study. Due to the fact that Macedon was a ci ...
... from Kroton to Metapontion, where he died. It is stated that he was a disciple of Anaximander, his astronomy was the natural development of Anaximander's. Also, the way in which the Pythagorean geometry developed also bears witness to its descent from that of Miletos. The great problem at this date was the duplication of the square, a problem which gave rise to the theorem of the square on the hypotenuse, commonly known still as the Pythagorean proposition (Euclid, I. 47). If we were right in assuming that Thales worked with the old 3:4:5 triangle, the connection is obvious. argued that there are three kinds of men, just as there are three classes of strangers ...

The question always was “did I change after the accident?”. Every choice that you make every experience that you go thought is what makes you one of a kind. Alice had it hard enough she thought, growing up in the 1940’s as a black girl. Now with this extra burden it was the straw that broke the camel back. Alice had it hard enough with her burdening eye, she believed that she did not deserve this, she asked what did I ever do? Alice Walker felt that her life was over, but amazingly she en ...
... that the Soviet Union was one hundred years behind the West and that they had to catch up as quickly as possible. This is where the idea of his "Five Year Plan," came about. The five-year plan basically got the people involved and motivated them into a modern life. From the 5-year plan, 25 million farms were produced which were only big enough to feed the families that were harvesting them. The more successful peasants were called the Kulaks. Along with the five-year plan, Stalin launched a campaign for the "collectivization of agriculture,’’ where millions of peasants were recognized as part of the civilization. Between 1934 and 1938 he built u ...
... The poetry of Langston Hughes, the poet laureate of Harlem, is an effective commentary on the condition of blacks in America during the 20th Century. Hughes places particular emphasis on Harlem, a black area in New York that became a destination of many hopeful blacks in the first half of the 1900ís. In much of Hughes' poetry, a theme that runs throughout is that of a "dream deferred." The recurrence of a "dream deferred" in several Hughes poems, especially this one, paint a clear picture of the disappointment and dismay that blacks in America faced in Harlem. Furthermore, as the poem develops, so does the feeling behind "A Dream Deferred," growing more serio ...

That a man burst out of the audience and yelled “ my boy, my boy… he’s dying, just sign this it would mean the world to him” but not only did he sign the ball but he also visited him in the hospital After a eccentric conversation with Johnny Sylvester. Babe promised to hit a home run for the kid but Johnny Sylvester declined he didn’t only want one home run he wanted two. So Babe laughed and promised, in the next game Babe did do that for him. And more, after the much-anticipated home run Babe ran to the microphone and told him ...

Lenin changed from, "an apolitical schoolboy into a radical to be reckoned with."

... no longer raised it's own food, or depended on it neighbors - the town baker, butcher and druggist - for it's simple needs. Food supply was now distanced from the source, making preserved and canned foods necessary. Corporations and large manufacturers took on the business of supplying food and were prepared to make more profit at any cost. Honest manufacturers were put at a competitive disadvantage and were forced to adopt the practices that could enable them to meet the prices of the less ethical competition. These practices were evident in the debasement of food, and in "patent" medicine. At the turn of the century selling goods under another name, and substit ...
