This maybe an unreliable source because Henry paid an inspector to get bad information about the monasteries. If he did this he would get paid a lot more money. A inspector reported: “the abbot loved playing cards and dice and spent a lot of money doing that. “This means that abbot didn’t follow the rules and didn’t give up his money. This shows that the inspectors found out the monks are gambling, disobeying the rules, being greedy and not following the vows of chastity.
The kind of men who watch Mad Men and think “Don Draper is really shitty to his secretaries” but use the same indulgent tone with younger women. I want to tell these kind of men: this isn’t Car Talk. I’ll table banter, but I won’t ask for your permission about how to fix my life. If, indeed, it needed
Do you agree with that view that, in the years 1964-70, the Labour Government’s failures outweighed its successes? Explain your answer using the sources and own knowledge (40 marks). Source A agrees with the statement that, in the years 1964-70, the Labour Government’s failures outweighed it successes, and that “all its achievements were not enough” to make up for the damage caused. It goes on to give evidence, for example “key industries […] continued to shrink” and this “caused unemployment to rise”. It is true that in 1964 400,000 people were unemployed and this rose to “just over 600,000 by 1970”, the end of Wilson’s time as Prime Minister.
From my own research I discovered that the average amount spent on a wedding is 21,000 which also happens to be the average pay in the UK –meaning that the amount some people earn in a year can be spent on their wedding. With the country currently in a recession and many people on ‘pay freezes’ (meaning that their salaries won’t increase for a period of time due to the government’s or their companies financial difficulties) lots of people simply cannot afford to get married. The amount of divorces has also increased in the UK. From my research I found that in 1970 there were 415,487 marriages in the UK and 58,239
This can be realised when he asks Goole ’’Do you play golf… No, I didn’t think so’’ thus showing that Mr. Birling has a strong streak of arrogance. He then begins to become agitated when the inspector keeps undermining him with his tone of voice, thus showing him that he is in fact his equal, though that is clearly not the case with social class. After the inspector has finished questioning Mr. Birling, the inspector then goes on to begin questioning Sheila whom is Mr. Birling’s daughter. Mr. Birling then tries to defend Sheila (who represents the rise of feminism) by saying ‘’I don’t think women should be getting into this kind of nonsense’’, showing us that he is an anti-feminist and thinks women should be protected and are also inferior to men. This is also proven when they ask Sheila to leave the room and stands for her rights to be there and says ‘’No...
In 1776 French government paid half its annual budget for interest of their debt. The French government was nearly bankrupt. First and second estates comprised ten percent of the population and were incredibly well-to-do, but the French government had no authority to tax them. French government raised taxes ruinously on the third estate, which were mostly poor peasant. Main causes of French revolution were poverty, hunger and malnutrition.
The X-O, very emotionally, pleads with his followers that if they do not discover the information on the fragment, they will take unnecessary military action. These crew members aid the executive officer in his mutiny to prevent later regretting the possibility of commencing an unauthorized nuclear war. Later in the film, the audience discovers the fragment did in fact cancel their previous orders, so the crew members are satisfied with their decision. However,
The difference in date is a significant point as Source A was written in 1903 before the social welfare reform was under way and so Booth would have a hard time trying to start the change in attitudes towards people in poverty, whereas the Webbs published their report in 1910 when people’s attitudes were very different. Both opinions seem to differ on whether the poor can better themselves as Booth states ‘the individualistic system will survive far better in a society cleansed of those who cannot stand alone’, however the Webbs say that 90% of people in poverty are that way because of a neglected childhood, sickness and feeble-mindedness or unemployment which suggests if they were given the chance they could turn their life around. Finally both
And su ragists, after decades of political activism, succeeded in getting approval of a constitutional amendment in 1920 that gave women the right to vote. The good times did not last. The value of many stocks, which had become arti cially in ated, fell dramatically in October 1929. Over the next three years, the business recession in America became part of a worldwide economic depression. Businesses and factories shut down, banks failed, farm income dropped.
Arrogance in pride has the potential to ruin a man’s integrity, destroy his life, and even drive a settlement to insanity. Salem experiences all of the previous and more because of the arrogance of those involved in the Salem Witch Trials. Nathan Hale is one of the few men involved in the trials who had potential to prevent its tragedies from ever occurring. When Reverend Hale was summoned to Salem, he was quick to let his “extensive” dealing with witchcraft be known. Though he is more a man of God than Parris, he is not without his faults, and his faults will prove fatal.
