the changes in the mechanisms of ‘volkisch’ anti-semitism and how it developed throughout the preceding decades, with particular scholarly movements including the inception of scientific racism, the volkisch movement in correspondence with new imperialism and militant nationalism. The approach suggests that the holocaust was exclusively akin to Germany’s rising ‘volkisch’ culture and that the aggressive notions of supremacy produced in the late nineteenth century influenced their attitudes towards the other races within Germany at the time and subsequent to the century’s turn. This particular approach is therefore beneficial for understanding how the very concept of a civilised genocide was manifested and how anti-semitism transformed according to the circumstances of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and is therefore the synthesis of the intentionalist and functionalist schools as the German anti-semitism was developed in the long-term through cumulative radicalisation. It adds to our understanding of how ‘völkisch-antisemitisch’ developed from mere prejudice into genocide and how it was influential in the development of advancement of National Socialism, being spawned through nineteenth century scholarly ideologies and social movements including Social Darwinism as a product of emerging ‘scientific racism’, with this and the association with romantic nationalism being
Western Govenors University | Issues in Behavioral Science | GLT1 – Task 3 | | Toya Brabham 000324276 | 10/2/2014 | This essay discusses the Nature-Nurture debate and compares and contrast two types of studies conducted. | Since the first scientist began to study the individual differences in intelligence in the 1800’s, the debate of whether genetics or environmental actors were responsible for much of one’s intellectual ability has raged on. One of the first scientists, a British researcher, Sir Francis Galton sparked the infamous nature-nurture debate. Galton’s research concluded that heredity or genetics (nature) was responsible for intelligence. Environmentalist would later argue that the environment in which one is brought up had a much larger role in shaping the mind; these two contrasting views have set the stage for this much argued debate.
Carolyn Pennycuff History 1301-164 Hollitz 8: Turner Essay March 29, 2014 Grand Theory and History: Democracy and the Frontier How do the experiences of specific groups of people, as reflected in the primary sources, support or modify Turner’s view of western settlement? Does Turner’s thesis reflect a mythic view of the West or real experiences? According to Frederick Jackson Turner’s thesis on The Significance of the Frontier in American History, he believed that the nation was shaped due to the American frontier and their pioneering ideals. Their ambitions, determinations, hopes, and dreams made a huge impact on civilization.

Evaluate how plate tectonics theory helps our understanding of the distribution of seismic and volcanic events The theory of plate tectonics is actually a relatively new idea. It was only developed in the last 100 years and has now been widely accepted as the explanation for the cause of earthquakes and volcanoes and where on the Earth they occur. This has now replaced the original theory that tectonic events such as earthquakes and volcanoes were caused by God and his will. This was the theory in most western countries before plate tectonics theory. The main theory of plate tectonics was first developed by a German called Alfred Wegener in 1912.
Therefore the reconstruction of early America demands a great amount of imagination for the interpretation of the era’s anthropology, archeology, and oral tradition-later recorded by Europeans. Richter uses his first chapter ‘Imagining a Distant World’ as a double entendre. He is describing the motivation that drove tens of thousands to leave Europe in search of a storied new land, while simultaneously admitting that he too is using his imagination to reconstruct an image of early America. Richter sites Carl Becker’s “Every Man His Own Historian”, which was published in American History Review, to support his admitted use of imagination in the reconstruction of events through the eyes of those who were facing
