AP European History DBQ 2008 Form B On November 24, 1793, the National Convention replaced the Gregorian calendar with a new revolutionary calendar. In response to the new calendar, in the period 1789 to 1806, several different reactions evolved. Based on the documents provided, when looked at upon an intellectual basis, the calendar seemed perfect; where some found the new calendar to work well, others proclaimed it inconvenience; and through overthrowing Christianity in the calendar and everyday life, problems began to arise. The documents can be divided into three main groups. The first group of documents shows the intellectual thought behind the creation of the revolutionary calendar and the reasons for its adoption.
No one knows for certain if the customary nine month schedule or the year-round calendar will work better. At the core of this debate there are two opposing sides: one of them is that the traditional calendar should still be used, and the other side is that schools should change to year-round school. According to (mondofacto) year-round education is a customized school schedule that gives students little breaks all through the year, as an alternative of the traditional three-month summer vacation. Year-round education has the identical number of days as the nine-month schedule, except the summer break gets shortened. And it is turned into shorter more numerous breaks (Year-Round Education).
First of all, on the contrary to Guest’s statement in the article, there are many other researches in the world showing that happiness is related to people’s ages. In his article, Guest said “The idea is that the more steps we take in our pursuit of happiness, the more we stay in the same place”. According to this research on Angola’s child, those children’s level of happiness won’t change much during their lifetime. However, those arguments may not as plausible as they seem to be. “According to survey data representing 2 million people in more than 70 countries, happiness typically follows a U-shaped curve: among people in their mid-40s and younger, happiness trends downward with age, then
Citizens can now access the information held on them by some 100,000 organisations. This act came into full force n 2005 yet even though public authorities are required to publish more information there are still many which can withhold information on the grounds of public safety or national security. In the respect this reform was of little impact as many companies can excuse not giving away information by claiming its for national security or public safety. One reform which has had a major impact on the constitution was devolution. Britain, at best can be described as quasi-federal as opposed to unitary state or a federal state.
While the leadership and system of government in France had to change, so did the calendar. Unlike the Gregorian calendar which starts its year in the middle of winter, the French calendar logically decided to begin their years at the first day of autumn. The French also decided to make even ten day weeks with just one day of rest in order to increase productivity and boost the economy. Also unlike the Gregorian calendar, the French calendar’s months were aptly named to account for the climate of that time of year. For example, March 21-April 19’s month name translates to Month of New Growth and the next month translates to Month of Flowers.

The federal census had been taken every decade since 1790, because its data was needed to apportion each state's seats in the House of Representatives, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. For the first fifty years federal marshals did the actual counting, by locating households within their districts and recording the number of people living there. Over time the nature of the information collected became broader and more detailed; it included social statistics about taxes collected, real estate values, wages, education, and crime. In 1880 Congress shifted responsibility for the census from the marshals to specially appointed experts trained to collect not only population statistics but also data on manufacturing and other economic activities. By 1890, punch cards were being used to record data and an electric tabulating machine was used to process those cards.
The older generation worker’s choice to stay in the same field of work and often with the same employer during an entire career is no longer the norm (Barclay, Stoltz, & Chung, 2011). Career change is defined as taking place when a person enters into a new job requiring essentially completely new talents, routines, and a new work environment than a person’s current occupation (Barclay et al, 2011). This paper focuses on the midlife career changes people embark on during a lifetime. A significant percentage of job changes involve a completely new career being pursued. With the current climate in the workplace of downsizing and re-evaluation of positions within both large and small employers, often a viable option for displaced employees is choosing the option of changing to a new career holding the allure of being more rewarding.
As a matter of fact, Microsoft Word interchanges these words, as if they represented the same idea. For W.E.B. Du Bois, progress and improvement had two completely different meanings, and when he returned to his old community, ten years later, he witnessed somewhat superficial improvements, not progress, which Du Bois defined as having the imagination and the drive to improve the mind. Several families had improved their lives by living in bigger houses or owning more land; these changes did not meet Du Bois’s definition of progress because they were superficial. Both Josie’s family and Rueben had moved into larger houses.
