I found the author’s chronology out of order and thus, a little confusing. Fash first describes the ruins of the great city before describing the city as it was in its heyday. I think it would be better from an illustrative point of view if he painted the picture of Copan at its zenith and then compared that to the sculptures and ruins we see today. Fash continues with prior and recent investigations on the city and then moves on to the political evolution and my favorite part of the book - The rise of Copan chiefdom. He describes how there were two distinct socio-economic levels in the Copan society and how the “elite” lived in plaster-coated structures in close proximity to the decorated public buildings in the Principal Group, and had access to fine imported goods.
This desired Constitution created a huge dispute and argument between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. George Washington and Thomas R. Frazier (author of a newspaper excerpt) were both federalists and supporters of the new Constitution. George believed they had errors to correct, meaning he thought that the new Constitution would fix the problems that the Articles of Confederation caused. Thomas believed they were in need of having an efficient federal government. Both federalists believed the new Constitution would help with providing protection, the general welfare of the people and enforcing the laws.
Along with the invention of the printing press in the mid-fifteenth century, the Renaissance artistic developments spread to other parts of Europe and started the creation of the Northern Renaissance. Religion played a big part in both the Italian Renaissance and the Northern Renaissance, which is one of the biggest similarities in their art. With the central idea of Humanism, both Italian Renaissance and Northern Renaissance emphasized man and individualism. However, they were different in many ways due to the culture, social, timing and the geography differences. For example, while the early Italian Renaissance abandoned the traditional Gothic style during the 15th century, the Northern Renaissance didn’t break out from it so quickly due to a host of social and political reasons including the Reformation.
Although urban regeneration is a worldwide issue, it has been especially present in the urban areas throughout the UK in the last 30 years, with the government introducing many different schemes to try and combat the causes and consequences of urban decline. This essay will discuss them and their varying degrees of success. Urban Development Corporations were set up in the 1980s and 1990s, and took the stance of improving the physical, economic and social state of inner city areas through building new infrastructure on derelict and vacant land. These UDCs were given planning approval powers that encouraged them to purchase land, build the new infrastructure and improve the marketing to attract outside investment to the area. The motive behind this was that private investment would be four to five times greater than the initial public spending.
Topic: Pull and Pull Factors Identify and discuss the “push and pull” factors which accounted for the colonization and settlement of the 13 North American colonies. Introduction Myths about American history began with the colonial period. The so-called “push-pull effect,” which would evaluate the colonial process both by what attracted immigrants to America and by the conditions in Europe that “pushed” them to leave their homeland.

Kelley Hogan History 201 US September 20, 2011 Importance of the new Constitution on Early America America, at the beginning, needed to establish a strong central government; therefore they wrote the first Constitution, called the Articles of Confederation. But as in many first tries it was unsuccessful in establishing a strong government, as division caused many faults in the political and social spectrum.

Putnam argument rests majorly on an earlier work done by Ithiel de Sola Pool, “Technologies Without Borders (1990)”. Putnam considers this work as a discerning work attributing its relevance to the current debates about complicated links in social connectedness and culture. In his argument, Putnam proposes that Pool’s prediction about revolutions in communication technology is indeed relevant to the civic engagement crisis that is being evidenced. From what he talks about, Pool had predicted of technological advances that would come to have a profound decentralization and fragmentation effect on the society and culture in decades to come. He therefore, supports his arguments as a fulfillment of what Pool seemed to predict.
