This shows a concern for the people, giving the impression that technology is there to help them. This attitude is reinforced by Huan Guan in Document 2, where he writes about the impact that a lack of technology has on people. One of his main points is that innovation should occur when current technology proves to be poor in quality and ineffective, which indicates his largest concern in the usefulness of technology. Huan Tan begins Doc. 3 with self praise for the Han invention of the mortar and pestle, and then goes on to exaggerate about its effectiveness being increased a hundredfold.
Brielle Perez 10/08/11 A Block Mr. Mendive DBQ 2007 Q1 Practice Essay The glorious Han China and Roman empires both embraced technology in a time of advancing civilizations, but Han China appreciated technology to a higher degree than did the Romans, whose upper class citizens never realized its true benefits to the people as did the Han. This illustrated approach to inventions and their practicality by two different empires defines the diverging points of view and thoughts about technology around the first century C.E. Before further analyzing the documents about Han and Roman opinions on the matter, it is pivotal to mention the outlook being provided on technology. A person in the upper class or government division of both superpowers wrote every single document. This leaves out the lower class’s beliefs on the use of technology, as well as women and middle class’s views (who used technology the most in their daily lives).
Sangah Kwak AP World Mr. Costigan 31 October 2012 AP World History DBQ Thesis Han’s attitude toward labor and manufacturing was more lenient and acceptable than the Romans who had a more negative and uncertain view, therefore causing a general attitude of labor and technology to be positive. The Han government official of the Han Dynasty in the 2nd century B.C.E says that technology is an advantage towards the government, the people, and empire which results in the invention of the aqueducts and other engineering needs. The Han government official explains that technology is beneficial because it is a key to the regulation of the government, it is an essential part of the empire, and requires government intervention. (D#1) The Han government official, Huan Guan, in the 1st century B.C.E, illustrates that the government developed sub-standard tools because of monopolies and explains that a strong government should adjust the situation. Huan Guan says that technology is an essential part of peasant production and the government is responsible for its suppor.
History Essay In Han China and the Romans, both have different attitudes towards technology. Some people were happy to have technology, while others weren’t looking forward to working with tools, but despite their complaints, the Hans and the Romans people still view differently at how the technology affects their life. Some view technology as a tool to use people to get what the government want, some viewed technology as beneficial, while others wanted to help make labor easier on people. In documents 2 and 5, people were used to achieve what the government wanted. Cicero, an upper-class Roman political leader said that “vulgar and unbecoming to a gentleman”, (Doc 5) is what men are turning into.
However, his colleagues, such as Harold Singer from the engineering department were puzzled by the assembly room’s success. Even the President of ARC, Frank Halbert thought the assembly room was not a tough place to handle after all. In my opinion, although Langley still needed to improve his external focus and enhance controls, he was able to bond a group of “oddballs” together and turned them into productive and cost-saving workers and made the business profitable. It was his emphasis on human relations style and internal focus that lead him and the assembly room to success. In this analysis, I’ll use Quinn’s competing values model and eight managerial leadership roles as the framework to evaluate Ralph Langley’s strength and weakness, and his approach to organization effectiveness.
In Michael Moore’s film, “Sicko” he describes the corruption of America’s health care today while comparing it to the universal health care other countries such as France, England, and Canada are exercising. I am very glad Michael Moore produced this film because although it may not be fair to both sides, it is still very informative and sends out the message that health care companies here in America are making a healthy living a luxurious burden rather than a given necessity. The two articles criticizing his film made it a little clearer of the bias he took part in. I believe the first one, by Tom Charity, was from a more neutral stand point rather than a liberal side, like Michael Moore, or a conservative side, like I believe Stephen Hunter is on. Charity described the truth and the overall message that “Sicko” gave, which was that the “insurance companies are making a killing at their expense”, when in retrospect they are supposed to be saving lives.
Although many nations did not like the letter, all countries to which it was sent, except Japan, had expressed approval at the ideas and goals that it espoused. Even though some of the ideas it presented were unpopular with the Imperialist nations, the Open Door Policy was a very event document in Chinese history. In the Open Door Notes, John Hay suggested indiscriminate taxation between nations. Hay defined indiscriminate taxation as not imposing taxes based on nationality. Many countries at the time had strong power in their
This took the Chinese by surprise which were unprepared but still managed to send them back to the 38th parallel therefore the achievements of the under-equipped Chinese troops forcing the USA and South Koreans forces back to the northern border indicates that the Korean war was not a victory for the USA, this was very humiliating for the USA and especially Truman as he was in charge of MacArthur. On the other hand USA safeguarded Japan, the most important economy in Asia, and ensured that it was a loyal US ally. Japan had benefited massively from the Korean War and
But on the other hand it put them under the poverty line and destroyed their economy. One of the main impacts that the British control brought that was positive was that it gave the Indians the greatest human blessing… peace. Also introduced them to western education, plus kept them in modern lifestyles. Many people see the positive impact as being more significant because Britain brought infrastructure and technology to the Indian people. Romest Dutt an Indian adapted an excerpt from, The Economic History of India Under Early British Rule stated: “They have built an administration that is strong and efficient… and
Each built their own roads to help the military and built walls, for instance the Great Wall of China in Han China, to protect themselves from invasions. The economy of each civilization differed because Han had much recourse while Rome only had metals. This gave Han a great boost because they did not have to rely on other countries as much. Rome and Han shared the same social view of the male
