Several similarities and differences can be shown between the knights and the samurai, including feudalism, being guided by a code of honor, education and religion, weapons and armor. Feudalism in both Europe and Japan was similarly structured, as seen in Document A, but there were a few differences. The Samurai would not fight anyone who was inferior to them, therefore making peasants safe, while knights very often attacked peasants and destroyed farms. It was very common, while on the Crusades, to ransack farms for provisions. Lords and Daimyo (basically the same status) built castles for protection, and both the Knights and Samurai were depended on for military service by great landowners.
The next time period was even named the Renaissance just to sound much more superior and intellectual than its predecessor. (Garraty, Gay, and McGill 481) The Anglo-Saxons were the barbaric setters of this Middle Age time period. Western England is the part of England that is most often associated with the negative label of having the Dark Ages. Here even the study of medicine was halted and literature was not studied at all. (Thomas 66-67) Their lifestyles were very different from ours today, because of their barbaric nature.
Jack The Ripper Who doesn’t recognize Jack the Ripper as one of the most notorious killers of all time? He was never caught and was one of the first serial killers to prey on innocent citizens. I don’t believe that it was the fault of the police for not capturing Jack the Ripper for many reasons. Apart from the lack of technology which limited the police to witnesses there are many other significant reasons for never finding and stopping the Whitechapel murderer. Although there is overwhelming evidence to say that the police did their best there are still two sides to the argument.
Huge extensions of land, which were owned by one man before the Mexican Revolution, were now owned by the people. So during Portillo’s presidential years, private property was not secured, you could not own an “Ejido”. With these restraints, foreign industries were not interested on investing in Mexico. The “Ejidos” in Mexico were, from my point of view, a huge government failure. They did give land to the farmers, but they gave worthless arid lands, with no irrigation system or water supply.
The Yorkshire rebellion in 1489, which was due to people in Yorkshire having to pay taxes for a war in Brittany, was not really a success for Henry; although he dealt with it sufficiently for it not to seriously affect his reign, it was not as much a success as he might have hoped. It was partly successful in that it remained a local uprising and did not spread to London or garner any major support. The most influential person to be associated with the rebellion was Sir John Egremont, an illegitimate member of the Percy family, who fled England for the court of Margaret of Burgundy. However, in the end the rebellion did not turn out in a way that overly benefited Henry. An influential nobleman, the Duke of Northumberland, was killed by the rebels whilst attempting to negotiate a peace with them.
Ronald Lyday (000337108) LIT1 Task 310.1.2-01-06 Part A (Rev. A) Sole Proprietorship In a Sole Proprietorship the owner is the one responsible for the ownership and conduct of all business. All decisions, whether good or bad, are made by the owner. Income taxes are assessed as personal income for the proprietor, which is at a higher rate than other forms of income. The company can be maintained for as long as the proprietor desires to conduct business on their own.
American’s had little disease at this time because isolation did not allow for contact with the other people to contract their diseases and they did not have domestic animals. The lack of trade and domestic animals made the Americans not as infectious as the Europeans, which eventually ended in their downfall. Next, strategy played a very important role in the conquest over the empires of America. The Aztecs, Mayans, and even the Incans had no formal written language. Europe, however, had the printing press and books.
Chapter 1 is titled “The Medieval Mind.” It is here where Manchester first seems to provide his input on what he thinks life was like in the medieval period. He describes life as being very dark during the medieval times with, apparently, periods without sunlight that,” There was no way for a man to find his way even through a war” This chapter was filled with colorful anecdotes describing violence and punishments that were of standard practice at that time. However, instead of providing new info, it seemed that Manchester was becoming was being very repetitive in saying how dark the days of medieval life were. Manchester views the whole of the period as only a dark interlude before the glorious rebirth of the early modern era, a long period in which nothing important changed and nothing
While this sounds like a great basis for a government, it would ultimately lead to a lot of their problems. Once everyone decided to demand equal wages, for unequal work, the framework was destined to collapse on itself. Other than this very basic blueprint of a republican government, there was no other real governing body of Brook Farm. While Ripley and his counterparts founding it and were in charge, they by no means sponsored totalitarianism or tyranny, nor did they run any sort of dictatorship. Everyone was free to come and go as they pleased, and most partakers did not even live on the acreage owned by the community.
Sort of like town hall meetings or private unrepresented group meetings. Ross makes his case not just against leadership but against any form of representation, arguing that it hasn’t worked, and never will, because “democratically elected representatives have to work at so high a level of abstraction that they never really operate in anyone’s interests and can easily lose all sense of their humanity.” Basically, Ross sees companies working best where ownership and leadership are widely dispersed throughout
