... history. In Julius Caesar, women are portrayed as less than equals. This is shown by how in the entire movie, you never saw a woman fighting with, or against the men. Neither were women shown very often in scenes out in the city. Furthermore, men always presented what women had seen in their dreams and visions. The women that had one of these "revelations" never presented what she had seen by herself. This to me suggests that in the time frame of Julius Caesar, women were still treated as though they should be at home looking after the children and cleaning the house. Compared to today, that portrayal is completely different. Today many men and women believe that ...
... care of their own actions, laws, economy, etc. For instance in east Germany they tried to lengthen the work day without paying more money, or also in Hungary and Czechoslovakia, these countries were forced to conform to the Soviet model. Just to go into one's country and try to change everything around, is not justified at all. Americans fear of communism during the 1950’s was justified in a way, but not very fairly in some cases. Since the fear was growing, a Red Scare swept the country. Congress had then taken matters into their own hands by setting up panels to investigate suspected communists. The hearings that were settled had put well-known writers jailed ...
... not just focus on African American struggles, but for all races and creeds. King’s strategy was one of peace and embracing the oppressor. “The sons of slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down at the table of brotherhood” (King 1963). He encourages his followers to remember that all people are God’s children and that hopefully one day all Americans from all backgrounds can join together to sing "My country ‘tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing…" Malcolm taught a message of self-help and personal responsibility. This was and still is the message from the Nation of Islam. Like the Nation, he also spoke of a sepa ...
... is a very dangerous man and one of the missions of the war was to kill him. However, we were unsuccessful, and today he is a huge threat. Hussein’s control of Kuwait affected the U.S. economically. All of Kuwait’s oil was in Hussein’s power and the U.S. was unable to trade with him because of sanctions. Therefore, oil based product prices raised 50 percent due to the lack of oil and a high demand for it. The U.S. was also giving financial aid to the Middle East to help drive out Hussein. These attempts were hopeless which gave the U.S. even more reason to send military aid into Persian Gulf. The final reason the U.S. sent military aid to the Persian Gulf was b ...
... The writer s of the Constitution wanted people to feel safe that they could express their thoughts, but they did not mean that a pornography store should be allowed to do business a few blocks from public schools. I myself like speaking and telling other people what I think is right and what I think is wrong, but the well being of the public has to be taken into consideration. The freedom of speech insures me that right to speak out. When I turn eighteen, I am permitted to vote for people representing my state. I actively watch the news and think about politics. With all the corruption and "bad politics", the wrong people have forced some of the "good" people ...
... Also during the Renaissance Italian literature, clothing, furniture, and art were imitated in Holland, France, Germany, Spain and England (Renaissance 30). In the nineteenth-century England and Wales were divided into fifty-two counties. In this century the English hunted foxes (Pool 24). The middle of London, known as “The City”, dropped from one hundred twenty-eight thousand to fifty thousand, while the rest of London grew from one million to four and a half million. In London the fancy area was the West End. The East End was full of poverty and misery (Pool 28). The 1950s, which followed World War II, were part of the Truman Years and ...
... of an increasing population were not being met. Governmet was inefficient and unrepresentative. Economic problems made the heavy tax exempt but neary so, while the peasents and middle classes were subjected to greater and greater burdens. Crops falied, and trade was stagnant. The people could no longer be taxed, but the government faced bankruptcy unless new revenues were found. The only soulution was to tax the privileged classes. But they were jealoous of their privileged posistion. Altought they were not completely unwilling to contribute some additional taxes, they never understood how grave the economis crisis was. They say the crise ...
... have been made as to the real meaning of this scene, many incredibly different and most equally plausible. Despite their differences, however, all have one thing in common: an overwhelmingly optimistic vision for the future. A few example interpretations include alien intervention: an idea that alien technology has helped man progress to the ‘next level’ of consciousness; to an understanding beyond the physical realm. Others adopt the idea of the emergence of man as pure thought completely of his own accord. It is for this reason that the futuristic vision expressed in this scene cannot be labeled simply utopian. What viewers are offered during this s ...
... Semele, a princess of Thebes. Hera was jealous of Semele and convinced her to make Zeus show Semele his true form, only knowing that this would kill her and her baby. When Semele is burned to death Zeus saves his unborn son and transplants the fetus into his leg. Once born Dionysus was taken to Semele's sister, Ino the Queen of Orchomenus. To hide the child from Hera, Ino disguises him as a girl. Hera was not fooled, so to punish Ino she drove her to madness. Zeus changed Dionysus into a goat and sent him to live with the Nymphs in Nysa. It was Nysa where Dionysus learned of fertility and wine. When Hera found him she imposed the same madness on him as sh ...
... released. He said he wanted to work with political groups to form a new constitution for South Africa. Although De Klerk’s decision was a great step forward for blacks, there were many possible reasons for his drastic change in government. A journalist in Cape Town at the time wondered if De Klerk fully realised what he was doing. Perhaps De Klerk thoguht he could remain in power by sharing it with the ANC. There were also economic pressures; business men were meeting with the ANC and liking them. De Klerk was practical as he was trained as a lawyer, and also religious. Apparently his brother had said he thought God had chosen him to lead South Africa ‘at a cros ...
