With a strong background in history, Anderson narrates the sixties from one movement to another, building up the excitement of each to another giving the reader a very realistic idea of that time and analyses people’s ideas from that. Something that distinguishes Terry Anderson’s book from the rest is that given his strong background of history, Anderson can be reliable as a source. He first received his Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Minnesota in 1971 and then returned to school to receive a Master of Arts in history from the University of Missouri in 1973. That didn’t seem enough for Anderson so in 1978 he received his Ph.D. in history from Indiana University. With a Master and a Ph.D degree in History, everyone can agree that Anderson’s credibility is high.
Lawler starts off the article talking about how the world was and what was going on in the 60s. He goes on to say that when most people look back on the various decades of their lives that always end up glorifying one decade and trashing the others. He instead says we should try to look for the good in each of the decades and realize that each decade had a moment of glory.

Matthew Henry-Marshall Parting The Waters: America in the King Years: 1954-63 By Taylor Branch, Simon & Schuster, 1988 Parting the Waters is most likely the definitive work on the Civil Rights movement. At over 1000 pages, Branch seems to ensure that no detail is left behind when documenting the rise of Black Civil Rights to the national agenda. The book reads like part storybook, part historical document. Branch does not endeavor to interpret events through an ideological or sociological framework. Instead, the main task of the book is to inundate the reader with peoples, places, and events which occur behind the scenes from the early days of the civil rights movement thru its zenith in 1963.
Rather, this book provides broad brushstrokes, noting the most significant ”threshold moments” that changed the way we have lived on Earth. This Fleeting World is your launch pad for a year of historical exploration; these questions and suggestions will help to guide you.

Write a 1200-word (approx. 4 typed pages) essay explaining the themes and events we have covered so far in AMH 2010. Our first lecture was called: Contact, Colonization, and consequence. This first lecture was mighty interesting to me due to the fact that I learned that Christopher Columbus was not the first European to reach the New World. 3- I've always heard about the Sugar Act, but i am now familiar more than ever about it.
Mario Martinez Instructor Marsh English 1A 8 July 2012 I Had a Dream Depending who you ask, 1963 could have been one of those years that could be described as the year that changed the United States. Perhaps the whole decade can be attributed to the re-construction of the United States. One event that was significantly important was a cry of a people of that suffered the pain of persecution and that called to a nation for peace and equality. At the forefront of this event was Dr. Martin Luther King, the pinnacle figure at the time of freedom and racial equality. In this essay I will present why this speech is effective in many ways while using logos, pathos and ethos, in his writing techniques and skills on formal and informal
Jean Piaget’s Theory December 18, 2011 The American Heritage Dictionary defines the word cognition as “the mental process of knowing, including aspects such as awareness, perception, reasoning and judgment,” (Cognition). Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental theory was a rare theory at the time when it was developed. It was the first in depth theory on the subject and remained the standard of the field for a long time. Throughout this paper, Piaget’s theory will be broken down into its four stages. The objective of this paper is to see how well Piaget’s ideas hold up through out time and see what improvements can be made to the existing theory.
Changes in language and word use reflect our shifting values August 7, 2013 University of California - Los Angeles A new UCLA analysis of words used in more than 1.5 million American and British books published between 1800 and 2000 shows how our cultural values have changed. | | | The increase or decrease in the use of certain words over the past two centuries -- a period marked by growing urbanization, greater reliance on technology and the widespread availability of formal education -- reveals how human psychology has evolved in response to major historical shifts, said Patricia Greenfield, a distinguished professor of psychology at UCLA and the author of the study. For instance, the words "choose" and "get" rose significantly in frequency between 1800 and 2000, while "obliged" and "give" decreased significantly over these two centuries. "Choose" and "get" indicate "the individualism and materialistic values that are adaptive in wealthier urban settings," while "obliged" and "give" "reflect the social responsibilities that are adaptive in rural settings," Greenfield said. Usage of "get" declined between 1940 and the 1960s before rising again in the 1970s, perhaps reflecting a decline in self-interest during World War II and the civil rights movement, she noted.
Psychosocial Theory 1 Running Head: PSYCHOSOCIAL THEORY Erick Erickson’s Psychosocial Theory Psy 100 11/12/2006 Psychosocial Theory 2 Erik Erikson has become one of the most influential psychoanalysts of our time. His psychosocial theory changed the way that psychologists today think about social reasoning. Unlike other theories that were made, Erikson’s theory spans throughout an entire lifespan. It begins from the early (infancy) stages of life and continues on until the elderly years of a human’s life. This paper will discuss the 8 psychosocial theories that Erikson made and will analyze the validity of each of the stages.
