Source 15 backs up this point; it’s message is that the media has shown the royal families true colours, albeit very bland colours. It tells us that the media revealed that the hype over the monarchy was somewhat exaggerated and they weren’t really worth peoples excitement. We can also see this in the TV show “It’s A Royal Knockout” which was a great embarrassment to the monarchy. Source 16 both agrees and disagrees with this point. It tells us that the nation was very distraught after the death of Princess Diana, who was intensely followed by the media.
Additionally there were developments that occurred without war, which illustrates that involvement in war was not the only cause for change. Therefore war was an important catalyst and factor to significant changes but was not the sole cause of change. The war that caused most change was Word War One due to its role in the February revolution in 1917 and the fall of the provisional government in the October revolution. The defeats of the war dwindled support from liberals and Octobrists for the Tsarist regime, which was further worsened by criticism from organisations including the Central War Industries committee and the union of Zemstva. This formed support and reason for the Progressive Bloc.
Although there was changed tactics and a greater push from suffrage organisations to achieve the vote, it in some cases in fact alienated politicians and the public. As source 13 states “we have been told that we cannot have the same political rights which men have won unless we convert the whole country to our side”. This source being written by Emmeline Pankhurst means it very useful as it shows how people directly involved felt about what the suffrage movement had achieved, and from the implications of this source that was very little. If the leader of the WSPU claims herself that the movement is not making ‘substantial progress’ then it is very difficult to argue against this. They were beginning to make headway however this was still a long way to go before the movement had made substantial enough progress to gain the
Andy Eakes 12/11/10 P.4 Mr. Jimenez If you lived in Concord, Massachusetts during the 1830’s and 1840’s you would have definitely heard of Henry David Thoreau, but you wouldn’t have thought as highly of him as we do today. You would’ve most likely thought he was crazy. During Thoreau’s time there was a huge dispute over the American and Mexican border, which led to a war that angered many people. The only problem was that nobody wanted to oppose the government. Everyone kept their thoughts to themselves.
In 15 states there are laws in place that make “Cyberbullying” a crime and there is currently a push in Washington D.C. to make it a felony. As of recent March 21, 2010 Alexis Pilkington took her own life as a result of cyberbullying and even after she was dead the bullying continued adding grief to her family and friends. 2. Do claims conflict with personnel observations: None of the claims made in the article conflict with my personnel beliefs, due to the fact that I have never experienced this type of bullying, nor have a I known anyone to experience this? I do know that through growing up that bullying is something that happens from our youth all the way up to grown up lives, but our youth in question for this article pushed the envelope way to far not even knowing or taking into account what could happen.
Cold War and Communism Paper HIS/145 September 18, 2014 Lisa Hurley As someone who was taught the duck and cover to protect themselves from an earthquake watching the video it’s crazy to think it was invented to protect themselves from an atomic bomb going off in their time. The nuclear bomb threat was the most feared thing back then. It is less likely to happen to American’s in the modern times, yet we still have the same fear of being attacked just in highly different ways. The thought of being in constant fear is dreadful to even think of now and to believe this was the biggest fear always running through their minds makes it sad to know this was normal to them. If there was a flash the first thing that had to be done was to
Sebastian Laszcz English III Pd.3 December 15, 2011 600 words Who is the government really looking out for? According to an article from pewresearch.org, the proportion of people that initially said that the decision to go to war was wrong has risen since 2007. Also, war can show how disconnected the government is with society because they never want to tell society what is really happening. All we know is that we have men and women risking there lives for God knows what reason, just because the government thinks that there is an actual issue to have a war over. This is just one reason why the government is disconnected from society today.
Tan also uses“different English with her family (mother /husband) that she grew up with”. Amy Tan has provided us with many examples. Tan states on page 789 “As a case in point, a television station recently interviews my mother and I didn’t see it when it was aired, but my mother did. She was telling me what happened. She said that everything she said, which was in English, was subtitled in English, as if she had been speaking in pure Chinese.” But to her mother she saw nothing wrong with the way she talked and it was absurd for the Television station to make her sound as if she was an illiterate English speaker or speaking Chinese.
Directed by Stephen Frears and released in 2006, The Queen is a fictional portayal that relates to real life of events surrounding the year 1997, with the election of Tony Blair and mainly the death of the Princess of Wales, Diana. Although not based entirely on fact, Frears based a lot of the movie on the media at the time, and at times during the movie, reenactments of the interviews given to citizens of the Great Britain on how they felt about the monarch’s reaction to Diana’s death. Frears however did demonstrate a very accurate portrayal of how the general population’s overreaction to the monarch’s answer, also his own perception of the interactions between Tony Blair and the Queen, and what the rest of the Royal family thought. The Queen, portrayed by Helen Mirren, came through with a completely different light from what the public expected the queen to be like. In the opening scene where the Queen is first seen, she wakes up from her bed in a sleepy manner, asking the maid about daily affairs.
On one hand, dropping the bomb freed thousands of Americans from Japanese captivity, but on another, it caused people physical and emotional trauma. The thought of freeing people from confinement outweighed the trauma. One of the reasons particularly is because the dropping caused fewer casualties and as a result, the utilitarianism move that the Americans had made was counterbalanced, because of the consequences of the dropping of the bomb. This supports the idea of why the Americans thought the only way to stop the war without a bloody mess coming of it, and as a result, more people would have died. To this extent, we see that in the scenario regarding the dropping, more lives have been saved because of how fast everything
