... about the art of tattooing in Tonga. Apparently dUrville demonstrated a picture of a Tongan man’s tattoo. Tattoos in Tonga were done with tools made out of bone or shell. One of the tools was heated with a flammable oil that came form a certain type of nut called “Candlenut.” Unlike here in the United States tattooing in Tonga was long and painful. This took a long, long time and was a symbol of someone’s manhood. In the article a man of Tongan and Hawaiian roots named Aisea Toetuu was interviewed. Tracy Allen, the author of this asked him many questions of his hobby, which was tattooing. When asked about how he became interested in the art of tat ...
... time says the National Coalition on Television Violence, is filled with degrading sexual material and incidents ‘where violence is strongly glamorized or used to excite.’ There have been 85 major studies of the effects of such violence on children. Eighty-four of the eighty- five concluded that it caused an increase in all manner of aggressive behavior, up to and including homicide. What happened to the one study that disagreed? Well, they were paid off by the National Broadcasting Company that just shows how guilty they are of producing violence from television. Another study shows that American children are having sexual intercourse at an average age of 16 ...
... interpreted by only one sensory organ. Many other animals on earth do not just rely on there sight for information about their world. For instance fish in totally dark areas of the ocean have no eyes and yet can still maneuver around in there environment by sensing ripples in their area with special sense organs on their body. Birds also seem to use the magnetic lines of the earth to navigate south for the winter each year. It would be foolish to make the statement that all sensory perception of the world is circumspect and is exactly the same for all creatures. All animals on the planet earth live in a hermeneutic spiral meaning that we all live in the pa ...
... United States Army compiled a superb record for courage and endurance" (Sulzberger, 149). Just because Japanese-Americans were allowed to enter the armed services they did not escape racism. During the campiagn in France, the 442nd could have been the first combat regiment to enter Paris. They were ordered to to wait at the side of the rode to allow white combat units to pass them. They became the last unit to enter Pairis. This racist ideaof them was even present in the enemy. "One of the puzzeled and astonished Germans asked an American Lieutenant, 'But aren't those Japanese?' 'Yes,' said the Lieutenant, 'Didin't you know they were on our side? or do you bel ...
... navy used this new technology to transfer images back and forth to its ships. In 1929 David Sarnoff invested $50 million dollars into the development of television sets. In 1935 Sarnoff committed RCA to the development of television sets. Several networks had to begun to form in Europe such as the British Broadcasting Corporation which provided the first television service. Programs were only shown for 3 hours per day. During the next year the united states set up eleven television stations. RCA demonstrated a television set at the New York World's Fair were Franklin D.

... and saved her life. Immigrants that came through Ellis island usually got jobs earlier and easier. Perhaps because they came to America in a time of great need, of that job offers felt more comfortable because they were legal, trying hard learning English and they had been in America for longer. Maybe it is because Ellis island immigrants didn't live in a time of such great discrimination. No matter who, immigrants came and still come for the same reasons. Coming to America is a great dream, and it seems that they get all they are looking for. They escape political, economic, and religious persecution. But mostly they come to escape poverty. They find bad con ...
... What is Constructivisim? Fraser and Walberg (1995) state that considers knowledge of the world outside as human construction, although a reality outside the individual is not denied it is claimed that all we know about reality is our own tentative construction. Trowbridge (1996) relates this general view of to teaching by adding that is a model of teaching in which students construct knowledge by interpreting new experiences in the context of prior knowledge, experiences, episodes and images. Thus, as suggested by Kelly (1995),a constructivist approach to learning does not view learning as the transfer of knowledge to the learner, but rather an active con ...
... a different idea on what the perfect form of government is. Hitler thought it should be totalitarian, Washington thought it should be democratic, and Stalin thought it should be communist. So who is right? Is anyone right? Under a utopian society, totalitarianism wouldn't be the best because that society would be more perfect for one person than another. Communism wouldn't be the right choice because the government would have too much control over everyone's lives and being controlled isn't ideal for many people. A democratic society wouldn't work either because you would always have people like Hitler and Stalin walking around that wouldn't agree with it theref ...
... Ancient Egypt held the same legal rights as men. A woman could own property and manage it as she saw fit. One example of this, the Inscription of Mes, provided scholars with proof that women could manage property, institute litigation, and could act as a witness before a court of law. Surviving court documents not only showed that women were free to take action with the court, but the documents also show that they frequently won their cases. They could also enter contracts and travel freely, unescorted, throughout the state. This is a great contrast to women in Greece, who were required to act through a male representative. Interestingly, property and its admin ...
... and the Constitution's Bill of Rights applies to every single American. The Negroes did know that the system was corrupted, but why did they accept to adjust themselves to their oppression? I don't know. By accepting to conform their oppression they are giving up their basic rights that our four fathers gave them. They need to stand up for their rights until they reach their goal. As an example, women weren't allowed to vote prior to 1920. The women citizens of America wanted to vote and they had the right to vote. They fought and fought for the freedom to vote. On August 18, 1920, a bill was passed by Congress that gave women the right to ...
