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.
The movement of people into the Northwest, established the ordinance. This helped the problem of states claiming to much land because new states were coming into existence and joining the nation so there was less land to claim. The Articles established these land ordinances so the Articles did achieve something positive. The single branch government provided by the Articles of Confederation, said that there was only Congress, the legislative branch which had very
The messages sent from the famous jumps of Sam Patch were the beginning of a new of democracy, and a fulfillment to the true meaning of the word equality. In the early 1800s there was already a change being made to American politics. Soon after the war of 1812 it was made a point to put some restrictions on presidency because the president had too much power (Pettengill). Distributing the power evenly amongst the other branches of government paved the way to a more independent American government, and created early ideas of a two party system. These early ideas made it possible for the different views of the rich and working class to have their own set representation as needed when capitalism, or free market enterprise, and common wealth made its way into American economy.
Diamond’s theory is based on the idea that, given ideal circumstances, the Papua New Guineans would have reached the same level of technological advancement as Western societies. He goes so far as to comment that “If your people had enjoyed the same geographic advantages as my people, your people would have been the ones to invent helicopters” (Guns). According to Diamond, the protein-rich diet available to Europeans is the primary reason other societies did not reach the same level of “advancement.” This belief adheres to the very early anthropological theory of unilineal evolution, in which the complex concept of civilization and culture is divided into simple stages, as if it were “geology…or the life cycle of plants” (Crandall 6). In contrast, Franz Boaz pioneered the concept of “cultural relativism,” dismissing unilineal evolution as a ridiculous theory. He acknowledged the effect one’s cultural framework has on the viewing of different cultures, asking “what advantages our ‘good society’ possesses over that of ‘savages’” (Crandall 13).
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Leigh Puckett Everest Online SPC2300 Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Abraham Maslow was born in New York in 1908 and died in 1970. Maslow developed the Hierarchy of Needs model in 1940-50s USA, and the Hierarchy of Needs theory remains valid today for understanding human motivation, management training, and personal development. The Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs five-stage model is clearly and directly attributable to Maslow; later versions of the theory with added motivational stages are not so clearly attributable to Maslow. These extended models have instead been inferred by others from Maslow’s work. Specifically Maslow refers to the needs Cognitive, Aesthetic and Transcendence as additional aspects of motivation, but not as distinct levels in the Hierarchy of Needs.
Then the red scare had come along, and people were reverting back to a more secure lifestyle. Instead of living the atheistic, work all day, violent lifestyle they saw the Communists had, they decided to combine a fun, religious, and patriotic lifestyle to be the “American life”. This was further enhanced in the 1980s by the most conservative president of them all, Ronald Reagan. Also the emergence of the new Evangelical Christians played an important role in daily American life. Weak points: • Conservatism was not specifically defined to encompass a group to it • The people who had lived back and forth were not a majority of the people.
Pedram Sheraf World History November 30, 2009 Ancient Persians and Aztecs The world as it is presently is a product of cause and effect. This is to mean that the present day civilization is an accumulation of gradual developments which took different shapes and time. Most of these factors of civilization were embodied in the rise of new empires and the fall of old ones. The rule herein was that the new civilization or empire came up with better military technologies so that it was the epitome of the latest and most refined civilization. This is to mean that even the latest and the most refined forms of civilization still had vestiges of even the most cultural practices of the primordial empires.
Rome & America Can studying ancient Rome help us better understand our own culture, political system, and society? I believe that it can, as history and anthropology in general can. But what specifically about ancient Rome makes it a common analogy to America? In Are We Rome?, author Cullen Murphy argues that indeed America is a lot like ancient Rome, and the similarities are surprising. While Murphy covers a variety of subjects for comparison in his book, I have chosen to look specifically at the military similarities, which Murphy does in chapter two his book, aptly titled The Legions.
This wasn’t considered “ominous” enough so a variation was invented – Ku Klux Klan (Bartoletti). Thus began the birth of an American homegrown terrorist society that has seen several incarnations.
Does United Cereal represent an example of centralized or decentralized international employees much closer and make it a true European entity, also enabling them to learn more about other aspects of business. 5) Launch the Healthy Berry Crunch product in France as a test market for the Eurobrand approach as well as to compete with Cheerio’s Berry Burst in this country. 6) After it succeeds, launch the Healthy Berry Crunch in other European markets with the Eurobrand approach, continuing with Germany and Benelux, as those countries are also in favor of Healthy Berry Crunch. At the same time the company would do the further research on other European countries and choose the countries that test results show well to launch the next. 7) If the product and approach appears to be successful, launch the Healthy Berry Crunch in other European markets with the Eurobrand approach.
