Both the Han Chinese and the Romans made use of technology, and the ways the empires were affected and the way applied the technologies were of a vast spectrum. These societies valued innovation, and especially the Han would honour those culturally significant by attributing the creation of technologies commonly used under the Han to these culturally relevant figures. The effect of central-government and other forms of management on these technologies and their uses had both positive and negative effects. For the Han, a state-induced monopoly had a vastly harmful effect, and if the government had not interfered then the progress of the tools would not have been interrupted. The governing authorities again like to use culturally significant figures in the tales of innovation and invention and discovery.
However, Nasser had forced the West into submission. The effect of his uprising eventually spread to other Arab nations. For example, Lebanon’s 1958 civil war between the existing regime and revolutionary currents had been influenced by Nasser’s ideas. This justifies the idea that Nasser casts an impact on Arab states and encourages Arab unity. The merging of Egypt and Syria in 1958 allowed Nasser to unify both states is another factor regarding the encouragement of Arab Unity.
On the page prior to the last page of the book, Alison refers to her life as an “inverted oedipal complex”. This refers to how she both estranges and identifies herself with her father through the concept of their shared tribulations brought on by their homosexuality. Though her father often seemed distant, he was an equally loving father some of the time. The most obvious reference to Greek mythology, and the most blatantly apparent in the final page of the story, is that of Daedalus and Icarus. In this myth, Daedalus invents a pair of wax and feather wings in order for he and his son, Icarus to escape from the labyrinth, another invention of Daedalus’s. Even after Daedalus warned Icarus not to, Icarus flew too
He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom. The pursuit to own land and accumulate wealth, and not be under the rule of the crown was first and foremost in the early colonists minds. Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America.
to 330 B.C. Even though The Achaemenid Empire took place long ago, it is still known as one of the most culturally diverse and religiously open empires in history. The Kings of the empire decided to bring in new members with talent like Greek doctors, Lydian woodworkers and Ionian stonecutters, as well as foot soldiers from Ethiopia, Sogdiana and more places within the empire. This empire was the first hyperpower in history ruling about 42 million people. Chua concludes that a small number of Persians administer a very vase territory and population because of tolerance.
We understand from Herodotus that the cause of the Ionian revolt was due to the decisions of certain individuals such as Aristagoras and Histeaus of Miletus, we know that Herodotus did not have a good view of the Ionians as he regarded them as lazy. However after the subjugation of Lydia by Croesus we can understand why the Ionians may have revolted, Miletus in return for complete subjugation was given very good terms in comparison to the rest of Ionia who were heavily taxed by Darius who introduced the Daric coin into Ionia, also Herodotus describes him as the shopkeeper due to his heavy taxes. Also we are shown by Herodotus that in Darius expedition to Scythia in 513 BC many Ionians were forced to fight for the Persian army, compulsory service in a foreign army would have caused resentment among the Ionians towards the Persians. Herodotus concentrates on individuals in his cause for the Ionian revolt, the story of the tattooed slave sent to Aristagoras shows us that maybe because of the Ionian revolt, Histeaus wanted to resolve his bad reputation being pro-Persian by making a story which would show him to be being part of the Ionian revolt. In Ionia and islands such as Samos and Naxos, there was a clear divide in attitude towards the Persians, Polycrates the tyrant of Samos was pro Persian like many of the tyrants in Ionia, and he sent 40 ships to help the Persian in their expedition to Egypt, as we know there was an uprising by a anti Persian party in Samos, this would show us that even before the Persian subjugation of Ionia there was a clear resentment to Persian occupation.
Nevertheless, the millions of girls (and many boys) who grew up as the first Communist generation still embraced the Marxist/Socialist ideal of a genuine gender equality committed to Socialism, progress, and service to the revolutionary cause. With the advent of WWII and the struggle to defeat the Nazis, a subtle but powerful mini-revolution took place that reshaped the Soviet military, the archetype Soviet soldier, and the opportunities for female soldiers. All of these changes combine to inform the historical community, and students of Soviet studies in particular, that beyond the Stalin/Totalitarian lens lies a Revisionist interpretation offering a truer, more complex, and more rewarding look at the Soviet experiment. Specialist in Russian, Cultural, and Gender History, multi award winning historian, and current Professor of History at Duke University, Anna Krylova contributed Soviet Women in Combat: A History of Violence on the Eastern Front in 2010. This detailed and powerful work, written by an eminently qualified historian, is a clear and flowing narrative despite an overly academic and stilted introduction.
She is receiving the best of education with the expectation of someday sitting on the Hawaii throne." Mr Cleghorn is extremely anxious to reach Washington to correct what he says are false impressions received by the president and cabinet. He said the princess and queen are the best of friends and the queen telegraphed her niece giving an account of the events which took her from the
The artefacts discovered bear significant attributes much like those described in the Iliad, such as strong fortifications, and arrows and spearheads. These suggest the theory of invasion and warfare, supporting the notion that the war did occur. Although Homer's Iliad would present important information about the events of the Trojan War, the reliability of the epic poem must be assessed. The Iliad was written
Alego Carpentier wrote Like the Night to depict western civilization and its historical relations with North and South Americas. It is rather read as an allegory than just a narrative which traces humans’ development in terms of a binary two sets (Europe vs. non Europe,) and examines the power relations between them. Particularly, the story reveals the West attitudes toward colonization and the colonized through the eyes of the narrator who is a Greek soldier taken to fight for Spain against America. This kind of allegorical stories plays a major role in determining the mode of narration, the choice of characters and their function in the story, the setting, as well as the themes. Each of these elements is done in a way to serve the the underlying message behind the story, the fact that the West is the civilizer and the non West is the uncivilized.
