Both the Han Chinese and the Romans made use of technology, and the ways the empires were affected and the way applied the technologies were of a vast spectrum. These societies valued innovation, and especially the Han would honour those culturally significant by attributing the creation of technologies commonly used under the Han to these culturally relevant figures. The effect of central-government and other forms of management on these technologies and their uses had both positive and negative effects. For the Han, a state-induced monopoly had a vastly harmful effect, and if the government had not interfered then the progress of the tools would not have been interrupted. The governing authorities again like to use culturally significant figures in the tales of innovation and invention and discovery.
Amleth versus Hamlet Hamlet is a classic story written by one of the biggest authors in history, William Shakespeare. But it is interesting to know that Hamlet is based off a story written by Saxo Grammaticus titled Historia Danica. Even though both stories have a number of comparisons, there are also many differences. However, when choosing which storyline is better, the latter one wins. Hamlet has moments which catapult it to extraordinary drama, making readers, like myself, more eager to read along.
The memo should be clearly written and organized in direct order, beginning with the objective and then systematically and covering the vital bits of information (Rentz, 2008). Bad spelling, illogical punctuation, awkward wording are not accepted. Such errors reflect on the writer. Therefore, they can reflect on the credibility of the message. An error-filled message strongly suggests the writer’s ignorance.
As with other chapters’ reactions, I find this one to be of mild interest. I enjoyed reading about the colonists’ struggles and efforts, and was especially struck by the riot shout, “‘Tyranny is Tyranny let it come from whom it may’” (Zinn 75). It’s obvious that this time in history was very rocky. Turns out, the rich not only had the most wealth and influence, but when war came up, they could get out of being drafted by paying for substitutes. This just reflects on the attitude that the rich held and holds in higher contrast the dedicated drafted soldiers versus the rich who avoided injury.
Charles Jamison Jamison 1 Professor Wright English 102 October 5, 2013 The A&P The 1960s was a pivotal decade for social change in America; the sexual revolution was one of the more popular phenomenons of this time. Although many were leaning towards autonomy (mostly young adults), those who were older and in position to set the rules were happy with the traditional ways that they considered to be common decency. The A&P incident was exemplary of what was happening all over the country, only on a greater scale. The characters in A&P are representations of those who are change, those who oppose it, and those who are neither, yet they are affected because of the pressures of the atmosphere. The young lady referred to as Queenie, was change.
I obviously believe this was done intentionally, but with a second purpose. As this might have been to show how bright and happy Edwards’s future could have been. But how Mickey’s was gloomy and miserable, how his life was turning out. What’s more that played an important role in the play was the music. How it would set the scene, establishing the right mood for every tragic moment.
Thus, the high consumption of alcohol was not random in nature, but rather was a reflection of the dynamics of the New Republic. During the 19th century, American perspectives of alcohol changed. First, alcohol was viewed as a necessity and was even seen as nutritious. One could argue that Americans considered it their “unalienable right” to drink liquor. Rorabaugh implies that there was a relationship between independence and drinking habits among Americans.
The colonists had built a strong national unity and identity by the beginning of the American Revolution in 1776. In the early eighteenth century, the colonies enjoyed great prosperity due to Britain’s policy of salutary neglect, which allowed the settlers various freedoms. The French and Indian War, however, ended salutary neglect and provided for the separation of an angry union of colonies. It was the French and Indian War that first forced the colonies to unite. They desperately needed the support of the Iroquois Indians to defeat the French, and in order to do so, they needed to commit an effort to a common cause.
In fact, pre-plague England was more politically and socially stable than it had been for a considerable length of time. With this in mind, the content of source 4 appears to support the interpretation’s claims that the Black Death was responsible for the sudden change to radical behaviour. The chronicler of the source speaks of the ‘selfish and lofty wishes of the workers,’ also acknowledging that those wanting to hire the workers ‘[would have to] give them what they desired.’ Authored by an individual of an ecclesiastical body, it is clear that the disapproval with which the matter is reported is due to the recognition of significant and harmful change. In turn, this supports the idea that the Black Death was a catalyst for the worst fears of the nobility and church figureheads. However, the long term effects of these demands saw the peasantry facing strict legislation to ensure that they couldn’t take advantage of their position, seen in the Ordinance of Labourers extract in source 3.
Luhrmann’s film, then again, could on the verge of excessively boisterous and unsavoury at the same time, but in any case it kept me awake. I have to say, neither of these films are the complete adaptation of The Great Gatsby. The novel is the overall the best genre for the audience, the descriptive techniques used by F. Scott Fitzgerald, make the novel the great art that it is, with the novel written like that it gives the audience the opportunity to imagine the novel how they
