Women in the Workforce During the Great Depression

Content: they slept in city subways, roads, and vacant lands. In 1929, the stock market crash paralyzed industries dominated by men such as steel, rubber, and chemicals. Most males lost their jobs. They had hard time finding jobs in the market. By 1930s, the unemployment on men was twice or thrice times than women during most of the Depression years. [ 3] On the other hand, manufacturing businesses, where most women were employed, were not affected as much as the big ones. Women had more wages in teaching, nursing, domestic service, and office work. [ 4] Although women mostly depended on men-wage earnings before the Depression hit, they were compelled to look for job for the survival of their family. Though many women had not worked before, the economic condition forced women to go out and became the breadwinners of the family since their husbands lost their jobs. Women weighed their responsibilities and attitudes of their family and the difficulty of finding work.

During the Depression, the public did not appreciate that more married women were at work. The two reasons why the society discriminated married women were, “they thought women were taking men’s jobs, and they were abandoning their families in a time of extreme need.” [ 8] Society perceived that men were threatened that women were taking jobs, but in reality, they mainly worked at manufacturing, domestic service, and clerical work. Another criticism was women were neglecting their responsibilities inside their homes. The criticisms caused the federal government to implement a law that married women were not allowed to work in government jobs in 1930. Public schools, transportation systems, banks and other companies fired and refused to hire married women. [

[ 9] Instead of looking at women as an ally that supported the family, they were seen as threat because it diminished the role of men in the family units. These discriminations put against women were shallow because they did not realize that they were going in the workforce not to compete with the men, but to save their family from starvation. During 1930, women consisted of more than twenty-five percent of the total labor in the United States; ten million women were working. In the early year of the collapse, they were unable to find sources of income and were mostly discriminated against by public employment (Abelson 106).

Most had been unemployed for long months; they used up whatever income they had. Almost forty-three percent of the known unemployment in Washington D.C was women. According to the Milwaukee Journal, sixty percent of the non-family women had been self-supporting in 1929. They came to the attention of relief authorities but it did not mean that they were given welfare. [

Category:
Content: The Great Depression greatly impacted America and its people. During the crash of 1929, many lost their jobs. It left a high unemployment rate among American people, which was a life-threatening situation because they were not financially secured. In other words, they did not have income to buy necessities for their survival. The crash affected mostly male workers because it hit the industries where a great number of men worked, but not much of the female manufacturing businesses. This led most women to work and served as the breadwinners of their families. The New Deal was established in the midst of the Great Depression, which allowed women to enter the workforce and to obtain opportunities for financial independence and auto

Content: In addition, the principles and ideals that drove the organization’s creation can determine this key attribute. As an example, consider Steve Jobs, founder of Apple. Many of his personal traits and values became the distinguishing Philosophy of the company. Some examples include the importance of design, his quest for perfection, and his desire for simplicity. Many of his beliefs were derived from his childhood and young adult experiences including his Zen training. His view on technology was different from other companies. As Jobs said,
“It is in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our heart sing.” Jobs believed that when computer scientists work together with artists and designers, then the best ideas emerge. This distinctive perspective was central to the Philosophy of Job’s companies. In an interview with now CEO Tim Cook in January 2021, Cook was asked what he was proudest of over the last decade since Job’s death.

Content: The motorways surrounding Dublin are very hectic and getting in and out of Dublin was hands down the most nerve wracking part of driving in Ireland. We drove in the rain for about 2 hours exiting Dublin, manually turning on the windshield wipers because we couldn't figure out how to keep them on haha! We figured it out by hour 3…
2. Have a designated navigator
It's very helpful to have one person navigate while the other drives. Firstly because two pairs of eyes are better than one, but also because road signs are on the left while the driver sits on the right, so the driver can miss navigational signs. You can either rent a GPS from the car rental company or use Google Maps on your smartphone. I talked about why I prefer the latter in this post about how to best rent a car in Ireland, which you can read here. The one downside of using Google Maps is that if you are charging your phone, the app won't speak to you. For some reason it considers the charging cable to be occupying the audio jack, even though it isn't. So a friend or family member to help navigate is essential there.

Another reason navigators are helpful is for exiting on roundabouts! Which brings me to my next point..
3. Get Used to Roundabouts
Ireland uses roundabouts whenever roads meet at a crossroads. I heard this is because it's more economical and saves on the need for traffic lights / traffic direction. Whatever the reason, get used to lots of roundabouts… and I'm not referring to those large, spacious loops you see in Germany!

Whatever the reason, get used to lots of roundabouts… and I'm not referring to those large, spacious loops you see in Germany! Irish roundabouts can be quite tight and the exit turns come quickly, sometimes before the driver even has a second to see the exit signs. It's really helpful to have google maps on your phone and a navigator to help you. 4. HUG the curb on the LEFT, stay WIDE on the RIGHT
When turning, just remember to repeat “hug the curb” when driving left, “wide” when turning right. After a shaky first day, we pretty much relaxed after that but I did hear from friends that it's when you get comfortable that accidents can happen, so stay vigilant!

Content: The athlete remains on the same lane throughout the event and is focused upon maximum acceleration and speed for the entire durance of the race. With this in mind, there is a clearer view as to what is required from an appropriate shoe and gear for Sprinting. Endurance and acceleration at top speeds are the two main requirements for this sport, so you do not want anything holding you back because of pain, discomfort or weight. Then you also need adequate protection against potential injury at those speeds as well as high levels of shock absorbency. Track Spike shoes are the best option for sprinting, there are different types of spikes from steel, to rubber depending if it is an outdoor or indoor track. Tips for Finding the Best Spikes for Sprinting
Finding the right pair of track spike shoes for your specific requirements will depend on the field, your running style as well as your level, being a beginner or professional. You may likewise need different types of shoes for different tracks and events. In the end, there is no magic Track Running or sprinting shoe, the ideal is to look for something with a stiff and lightweight design, and spikes that offer you the best advantage for every group of events. While a Sprinting spike may have a stiff plate underneath the entire foot to promote running on the toes and better forward motion, they will not work for longer distances as they can not endure. However, a mid or long distance sprinting spike is designed with a thinner heel and less cushioning for use over longer races.

Other athletes again prefer socks to prevent friction, blisters, and sweat build up in their shoes. So socks are completely a personal preference. Breaking – Any new Spike Shoe or sprinting shoe will have some hot spots or friction areas, and a short break in period is required.

Save Some Money – Many manufacturers bring out newer models of Tracks Shoes and Spikes regularly, which usually only have a few new features, most of the time nothing critical. So why not opt for some older models, and save yourself some money. Spike Plate – The most important part of your Sprinting Shoes. For short distance sprints, there should be around a maximum of seven to eight spikes on the spike plate, whereas for long and mid distance sprinting less spike, around five to six is needed.

When an Anniversary of Your Loved One’s Death Approaches
by James E. Miller
What You Can Do to Commemorate an Anniversary
Content: It’s that grief response that is triggered by a date or an event which reactivates the remembered experience of the death itself. This reaction may be felt in all parts of one’s self: heart, mind, body, and soul. Memories are heightened. Feelings may be intensified. If it’s the first anniversary of your loved one’s death, for example, it may seem as if you’re re-experiencing in vivid detail all you went through on those same days twelve months before. Your grief may be temporarily but strikingly reawakened. Most people respond only mildly or moderately to such an anniversary, while a few have a much stronger response. Feelings commonly include sharpened sadness, tiredness, jitteriness or anxiety, irritability or anger, sometimes guilt. You may experience headaches, loss of appetite, sleep disturbances or unusual dreams.

If you’re wondering what happens when a house goes into foreclosure, you’re going to want to keep reading. What Exactly is a Foreclosure? A foreclosed home is a home that once belonged to the homeowner but may belong to the bank. The reason for the bank owning the home is because the homeowner simply stopped or was unable to continue making the necessary payments for the home. In these situations, the homeowner either vacates the home or voluntarily deeds the home to the bank. In this event, the homeowner forfeits all legal rights to the property. However, it’s important to consider in these situations that the home never technically belonged to the bank.

However, it’s important to consider in these situations that the home never technically belonged to the bank. This means that the bank does not have the ability to simply “take back” the home. Instead, the bank must foreclose on the mortgage or trust deed and then seize the home. Why Do Sellers Go Into Foreclosure
Sellers may stop making payments on their mortgage for a number of reasons. If the seller is unable to pay the outstanding debt of the home or sell the property with a short sale, the property will then go into foreclosure. With this process, the property is attempting to be sold via auction.

If the seller is unable to pay the outstanding debt of the home or sell the property with a short sale, the property will then go into foreclosure. With this process, the property is attempting to be sold via auction. If the property fails to sell through the auction, the lending institution takes possession of the home. While most foreclosures happen on an involuntary basis, some sellers do voluntarily fall into foreclosure. For example, during the housing market crash between 2005-2008, many homeowners simply walked away from their homes. This was due to the fact that the value of the home had fallen so dramatically that they owed more to their mortgages than what the home was worth. While this temporary solution had adverse effects on these homeowners, it was common during the housing crisis.

If the homeowner fails to satisfy these arrangements and the default is not paid off, the process of the foreclosure continues. 4.

This is when things start to get very serious for the homeowners and the period in which they are likely to lose their home. Assuming the said default is still not remedied by the given deadline, the lender will set a date for the home to be offered for sale via a foreclosure auction. This is also known as a Trustee Sale. The notice of the sale is posted on the homeowner’s property and is also advertised in the newspaper/online publications. Though, in many states, the homeowner has the right of redemption up to the moment the home will be auctioned off.

Sometimes foreclosed homes are auctioned for sale but with no success. In this event, if the home remains unpurchased, the lender (usually the bank) will take ownership of the property. The home, then, becomes a bank-owned property.

Content: The victors can force their narrative down on the people. ( Actually, there could be multiple interpretations. The term ‘winner’ itself is ambiguous. So, I have made certain assumptions.) To an extent, this happens. Mercedes had to apologize for tweeting a quote of Dalai Lama after receiving a backlash form the Chinese. Why? Because he’s considered a terrorist in the mainland. Debate on Tibet’s sovereignty aside, it’s obvious that PRC has tried to disseminate a twisted version of the history. However, there are so many things wrong with the phrase that it can’t be taken seriously (unless you were to severely limit its scope.)

Content: First, history isn’t set in stone. When new facts emerge, it gets revisited. The Wright Brothers, who were celebrities in their heyday, believed so strongly in their innovation that they never considered that they are crossing the line in enforcing patents. Such was their stature that they won every major lawsuit. Today, those actions are rightfully considered patent trolling. Of course, the public view is still in their favor today. But, that’s only because what they did was truly revolutionary. You might win history for a certain time period, but that doesn’t imply no one will question you actions in the future. Second, it’s difficult to assume that a person or a regime can force an interpretation unless they were to be highly oppressive. Promoting and mantaining a false image of the past would mean to oppress all the facts and mediums of free speech.

Some regimes, like North Korea’s, have been exceptionally successful at this. Amid deep surveillance, and strict control on access to information, the public is fed with patently false information: “ South Korea is poverty-stricken,” “North Korea ended WWII,” and “Koreans are a pure and superior race.” But, how far can one go when there’s a little bit of democracy and free speech?

Japan carried out a brutal attack on China and its citizens during the WWII. But, except maybe by their own people, the attacks were never seen in favorable light. Robert Moses, one of the most successful public official in terms of projects executed, had mastered the art of having media and public opinion on his side.

Robert Moses, one of the most successful public official in terms of projects executed, had mastered the art of having media and public opinion on his side. Nevertheless, his dirty, manipulative tactics did come in light later (particularly after Robert Caro wrote his biography.) Genghis Khan, one of the great victors in all history, is generally viewed quite unfavorably in practically all sources because his conquests tended to harm the literary classes. The Reality
Sometimes, historical facts do get twisted for petty gains. Sometimes, people are made to buy a blatant lie. I can recall a book that proudly claimed that plastic surgery, nuclear weapons, aeroplanes and big bang theory were already discovered in ancient India.

As human beings, we all have our own values, beliefs and attitudes that we have developed throughout the course of our lives. Our family, friends, community and the experiences we have had all contribute to our sense of who we are and how we view the world. As community services workers, we are often working with people who are vulnerable and/or who may live a lifestyle that mainstream society views as being different or unacceptable. If, as community services workers, we are to provide a service that meets the needs of our target groups and helps them to feel empowered, we need to be aware of our own personal values, beliefs and attitudes and be prepared to adopt the professional values of our industry—and not impose our own ideas on our clients. What are values? Values are principles, standards or qualities that an individual or group of people hold in high regard. These values guide the way we live our lives and the decisions we make. A value may be defined as something that we hold dear, those things/qualities which we consider to be of worth. A ‘value’ is commonly formed by a particular belief that is related to the worth of an idea or type of behaviour. Some people may see great value in saving the world’s rainforests.

Content: Values are principles, standards or qualities that an individual or group of people hold in high regard. These values guide the way we live our lives and the decisions we make. A value may be defined as something that we hold dear, those things/qualities which we consider to be of worth. A ‘value’ is commonly formed by a particular belief that is related to the worth of an idea or type of behaviour. Some people may see great value in saving the world’s rainforests. However a person who relies on the logging of a forest for their job may not place the same value on the forest as a person who wants to save it. Values can influence many of the judgments we make as well as have an impact on the support we give clients. It is important that we do not influence client’s decisions based on our values. We should always work from the basis of supporting the client’s values. Activity:

Where do values come from? Our values come from a variety of sources. Some of these include: family
peers (social influences)
the workplace (work ethics, job roles)
educational institutions such as schools or TAFE
significant life events (death, divorce, losing jobs, major accident and trauma, major health issues, significant financial losses and so on)
religion
music
media
technology
culture
major historical events (world wars, economic depressions, etc). Dominant values
Dominant values are those that are widely shared amongst a group, community or culture. They are passed on through sources such as the media, institutions, religious organisations or family, but remember what is considered dominant in one culture or society will vary to the next. Using the sources listed above, some of your values could be:

Activity: Identifying the impact of values and philosophies on service provision
Content: What is important here is your ability to be able to identify the values that are important to you. It is important to be conscious of our values. This knowledge helps us to: ask ourselves why we are doing what we are doing
identify the consequences of our actions for ourselves and others (including clients and co-workers)
consider other and better options if necessary. It is important to not only have a knowledge of your value system, but to understand that your values underpin your beliefs and beliefs underpin behaviour. How we behave is a reflection of our beliefs and our beliefs are a reflection of our values. Exploring your values
We are all influenced in varying degrees by the values of our family, culture, religion, education and social group. Knowing your own values can help you work effectively with clients, resolve conflicts and support the organisation’s philosophy of care appropriately. Wherever our values come from they make us the unique person we are today! Answer the following and then think about what it tells you about yourself, where your values have come from and how people with different backgrounds and life experiences would answer these questions.

Handout 2: Principles of Access and Equity
Access and equity are principles of social justice. Equity relates to fairness. It recognises that some
people are more disadvantaged than others in being able
to access services and facilities and therefore there
is a responsibility to address this lack of equity. Access is the capacity people have to physically enter
a building or space and also to use a facility or service. Many people with a disability do not have the same
access to places and services as other people because
their needs in areas such as mobility and communication
have not been met. Access and equity are concepts against which all services
should be measured. They will be reflected in how decisions
are made about who is eligible for a service, how resources
are allocated, how the needs of people from diverse
backgrounds are met. Access and equity are covered in
the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. Barriers to access are often encountered in the following
areas:

It is now also used to compress a large video or audio file so that it can be transferred over the internet. They are very important tools for optimizing media playback across devices.

Content: Abraham Lincoln was sometimes called Abe Lincoln or "Honest Abe" because of a legend stating that he ran miles to give a customer the right amount of change. The nickname "Honest Abe" came from a time when he started a business that failed. Instead of running away like many people would have, he stayed and worked to pay his debt. Early political career
Lincoln started his political career in 1832 when he ran for the IGA Illinois General Assembly, but he lost the election. He served as a captain in the Illinois militia during the Black Hawk War, a war with Native American tribes. When he moved to Springfield in 1837, he began to work as a lawyer. Soon, he became one of the most highly respected lawyers in Illinois. In 1837, as a member of the Illinois General Assembly, Lincoln issued a written protest of its passage of a resolution stating that slavery could not be abolished in Washington, D.C.
In 1841, he won a court case (Bailey v. Cromwell). He represented a black woman who claimed she had already been freed and could not be sold as a slave. In 1847, he lost a case (Matson v. Rutherford) representing a slave owner (Robert Matson) claiming return of fugitive slaves.

Content: Emancipation Proclamation
With the Emancipation Proclamation begun on January 1, 1863, Lincoln ordered the freedom of all slaves in those states still in rebellion during the American Civil War. It did not actually immediately free all those slaves however, since those areas were still controlled by the rebelling states of the Confederacy. Only a small number of slaves already behind Union lines were immediately freed. As the Union army advanced, nearly all four million slaves were effectively freed. Some former slaves joined the Union army after 1862. The Proclamation also did not free slaves in the slave states that had remained loyal to the Union (the federal government of the US). Neither did it apply to areas where Union forces had already regained control, as in Tennessee. Until the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1865, only the states had power to end slavery within their own borders, so Lincoln issued the proclamation as a war measure. The Proclamation made freeing the slaves a Union goal for the war, and put an end to movements in European nations (especially in Great Britain and France) that would have recognized the Confederacy as an independent nation. Lincoln then sponsored a constitutional amendment to free all slaves.

In statistics, a confidence interval, abbreviated as CI, is a special interval for estimating a certain parameter, such as the population mean. With this method, a whole interval of acceptable values for the parameter is given instead of a single value—together with a likelihood that the real (unknown) value of the parameter will be in the interval. Thus, if we're not sure of the exact number of vehicles that crossed a bridge, we can say 400 plus or minus 10 instead of just saying 400. The confidence interval is based on the observations from a sample, and hence differs from sample to sample. The likelihood that the parameter will be in the interval is called the confidence level, and the end points of the confidence interval are referred to as confidence limits. Very often, this is given as a percentage (for example, the 95% confidence interval). The confidence interval is always given together with the confidence level.

A simple video explanation of Ebola virus
The Ebola virus that makes people sick lives in the blood and other liquids and wet things in some kinds of non-human animals without killing them. Scientists think the animals it lives in are mainly some kinds of monkeys or fruit bats. When people touch animals that have the virus, or wet things that came out of those animals, they can get sick. Ebola cannot be caught through the air, or by being near sick people. The virus can only go from liquids into people's bodies. This means Ebola can be caught by touching a sick person's blood, saliva, mucus, semen, diarrhea, vomit, or other fluids that come out of a sick person's body. If a person does not die from the disease, he can still give other people the infection by having sex for nearly another two months after they stop being sick. This is because the virus can still be in the man's semen after a long time. 1. Once the virus enters the human body via mucosal surfaces, abrasions or injuries in the skin or by direct parental transmission, it fuses with the cells lining the respiratory tract, eyes, or body cavities.

Content: Ebola also causes stiffness throughout the body which makes it hard for sick people to move. Five to nine out of every ten people who get sick with Ebola die. Treatment
There is no cure for Ebola, but if people get care quickly from doctors and nurses at a hospital, more of them live. People with Ebola need a lot of fluids to replace fluids lost from diarrhea, vomiting, and bleeding. The most important care is giving them water with a very small amount of salt and sugar in it. This is called oral rehydration. It helps to replace their fluids and blood. It is also important to give medicines in case they get bad blood pressure and blood circulation. Prevention
In December 2016, a study found the VSV-EBOV vaccine to be very effective (in the neighborhood of 70–100%) against the Ebola virus, making it the first vaccine against the disease. Many Ebola vaccine candidates had been developed in the decade prior to 2014, but as of October 2014, none had yet been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in humans.

Physician Assisted Suicide (PAD) is different to euthanasia; it is about who gives the medication to end a patient’s life. The World Federation of Right to Die Societies says physician-assisted suicide means "making lethal means available to the patient to be used at a time of the patient’s own choosing." In these cases the patient takes the legal dose of poison themselves, it is not given by the doctor. It is euthanasia when the doctor has the main role in ending the patient’s life by giving the poison. Contents

Evolutionary psychology is a branch of psychology which investigates behaviour which has evolved. It is similar in this respect to ethology, which has always used ideas from evolutionary biology . It seeks to identify which human psychological traits are evolved adaptations, that is, functional products of natural selection or sexual selection. Evolutionary psychology usually focuses on behaviour most people share. Some of the more common areas evolutionary psychology is focused on are sex, and social behaviour. Events like violent behaviour need explanation in evolutionary terms. Evolutionary psychology is related to other fields of science like sociobiology, social psychology, and sociocultural anthropology. Evolutionary psychologists argue that much of human behaviour is the result of adaptations which evolved to solve recurrent problems in human ancestral environments. The adaptationist approach is steadily increasing as an influence in the general field of psychology. Evolutionary psychologists hold that behaviours or traits which occur universally in all cultures are good candidates for evolutionary adaptations.

Content: Drought and other problems sometimes cause famines. Where yields are low, deforestation can provide new land to grow more food. This provides more nutrition for the farmer's family, but can be bad for the country and the surrounding environment over many years. In some countries, farms are often fewer and larger. During the 20th century they have become more productive because farmers are able to grow better varieties of plants, use more fertilizer, use more water, and more easily control weeds and pests. Many farms also use machines, so fewer people can farm more land. There are fewer farmers in rich countries, but the farmers are able to grow more. This kind of intensive agriculture comes with its own set of problems. Farmers use a lot of chemical fertilizers, pesticides (chemicals that kill bugs), and herbicides (chemicals that kill weeds). These chemicals can pollute the soil or the water.

It uses pesticides, machinery, chemical fertilizers. Organic farming is using only natural products such as compost and green manure. Integrated farming is using local resources, and trying to use the waste from one process as a resource in another process.

Figurative language
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Figurative language is when a writer describes something by comparing it with something else. It is writing that goes from the actual meaning of words at face value to get a special meaning. The figurative meaning is different from the literal meaning. For example, consider the sentence, "When she heard the news, she was over the moon and jumped for joy". The meaning is that she was very happy, but not flying above the Moon nor jumping up and down. Figurative language is a difference in fields of language analysis. Literal language is about words that do not go away from their meaning. Non-literal or figurative language refers to words, and groups of words, that change the normal meanings of the words. A literal usage is the "normal" meanings of the words. It has the same meaning regardless of the context.

Content: For example, the United States is the biggest cultural exporter, which means that countries around the world are becoming like the United States. However, this hurts local cultures. Jean Baudrillard believes that globalization hurts local cultures and is the cause of most terrorism. He also believes that most supporters of globalization just want to stay in power. Gregory Meyjes interprets globalization as a largely hegemonic, unequal process of socio-cultural imposition. Questioning the various processes (economic, political, cultural) by which globalization or globalisation has favored rapid Anglo-cultural dominance over a more gradual, egalitarian evolution towards an inclusive world civilization, Meyjes argues for cultural policies that support "ecological" relations between local ethnocultural traditions, by protecting cultural specificity in the short term and allow as many cultural groups as possible to organically contribute to the whole. At the global level, Meyjes therefore proposes the term universalization or universalisation to denote a process of (largely) non-imposed socio-cultural exchange between state-level and sub-state-level groups and "nations" – i.e. a transnational process that informs the gradual emergence of a universal civilization. Support
Others, like Thomas Friedman, believe that globalization can bring people together and make everyone richer without getting rid of local cultures. People who support globalization also believe that it makes war less likely because it is bad for business. Francis Fukuyama also argued that globalization would eventually lead to a system of world governance which would cause wars to end.

The Marshall Plan (officially called the European Recovery Program [ERP]) was a plan of the United States for rebuilding the allied countries of Europe after World War II. One of the main reasons this was done was to stop communism (basically the USSR). The plan was named after Secretary of State George Marshall, but the plan was worked out by other people in the State Department. The plan ran for four years beginning in April 1948. During that period US$ 13 billion in economic and technical help were given to help the recovery of the European countries that had joined in the Organization for European Economic Co-operation. By the time the plan ended, the economy of every member state had grown well past pre-war levels. In recent years some historians have said that another reason for the plan was to make the United States stronger, and to make the countries of western Europe need the United States. They also say that the United Nations (UN) Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, which helped millions of refugees from 1944 to 1947, it also helped the European postwar recovery. Contents

Morgenthau said it would also stop Germany from ever being rebuilt, and threatening to start another war. Taking money from Germany was done after World War I. It did not work. Instead of helping other countries it hurt them. This is because companies could not sell the coal and steel that they made because it was coming in free from Germany.

Content: "Historical revisionist" historians, such as Walter LaFeber, during the 1960s and 1970s said that the plan was American economic imperialism. That means, that it was an attempt to gain control over Western Europe just as the Soviets controlled Eastern Europe. Tyler Cowen, economist, has said that nations receiving the most aid from the Marshall Plan ( Britain, Sweden, Greece) saw the least returns and grew the least between 1947 and 1955. Those nations who received little (e.g. Austria) grew the most. When he looked at West Germany's economy from 1945 to 1951, German analyst Werner Abelshauser decided that foreign aid was not needed to start the recovery or to keep it going. Cowen found that the economic recoveries of France, Italy, and Belgium, started before the Marshall Plan. Belgium relied heavily on free market economic policies after its liberation in 1944, and had the fastest recovery. It also did not have the severe housing and food shortages seen in the rest of continental Europe. [ 1]

Minimalism is a way of making modern art or music that uses simple ideas, sounds or shapes. It was most popular in America in the 1960s and 1970s. There are many different kinds of minimalism. Sometimes a simple thing is repeated many times until it seems very complicated. Today minimalism can be used to talk about many things such as design, architecture, poetry, and movies.

In music, minimalism is a way of composing classical music which became popular during the second half of the 20th century. It is a way of composing by using a simple idea which is repeated many times. A minimalist piece of music usually takes a short idea which may be a melodic or a rhythmic pattern.

The Mississippi River is a river in the United States. It is one of the longest rivers in the world. Its largest city is Memphis, Tennessee. The name "Mississippi" comes from a Native American name that means "big river." The source of the Mississippi is Lake Itasca in Minnesota, near the border with Canada. The Mississippi flows south through the middle of the United States. It flows through the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. The mouth of the Mississippi is in the state of Louisiana, south of the city of New Orleans.

Modesty is a social norm, it does not apply where it cannot, such as in an emergency. In the case of an emergency it is more important that doctors treat those that are wounded.

Content: Certain standards say how the changing of clothes should be done, like using a towel on a beach or closing (and locking) a door of a cabin that is provided. Different cultures have different standards of modesty. But standards are also different according to who the other people are, that could possibly see one's body: A spouse or partner
A friend or family member of the same gender
Family members of the opposite gender. A friend of the opposite gender. Social standing or class can also matter. That way, different rules can apply to people of the same social class than to those of other (or lower) social classes. Other things that influence these norms include: The place where it happens (undressing at home in front of a partner is different form undressing at the home of somebody barely known)
The job the people do (A striptease dancer has different norms to a teacher)
That way, a teacher that would perform at a night club might be seen as bringing the profession into disresapect. Some people say this kind of modesty is body shame.

Proponents of modesty often see it as respect for their bodies and the feelings of themselves and others, and some people believe it may reduce sexual crimes. Critics argue that it's not healthy to have a negative attitude toward the human body.

It might be tolerated that a woman is topless on a beach, or near a pool. If there is a restaurant near the beach or pool, it is usual, that the woman can be topless on the beach, but if she wants to eat something in the restaurant, that she has to cover her breasts. Very often, such restaurants are visually segregated by a railing.

Content: Nudity among close family members in the home is sometimes permitted, especially in the bedroom and bathroom. Wearing undergarments casually may be permitted as well. Elsewhere in the home, family members may be expected to wear more clothes, casually, especially if guests are present. A bathrobe may fulfill the purpose here. Naturism
Naturists have different views. They want to create an environment, were people can feel at ease, even when they are nude, they can be seen nude, or nude people are among them. These values conflict with the current standards of modesty. For this reason, nudists mostly reject the current standards of modesty. Indigenous tribes
Traditional indigenous cultures such as those in Africa, or the aborigines in Australia have social norms that vary greatly. How much exposure is acceptable varies from nothing for some women, to everything except the glans penis for some men of certain tribes.

Content: Action movies have a lot of exciting effects like car chases and gun fights, involving stuntmen. They usually involve 'goodies' and 'baddies', so war and crime are common subjects. Action movies usually need very little effort to watch, since the plot is normally simple. For example, in Die Hard, terrorists take control of a skyscraper and ask for a big ransom in exchange for not killing the hostage workers. One hero somehow manages to save everyone. Action movies do not usually make people cry, but if the action movie is also a drama, emotion will be involved. Adventure Movies usually involve a hero who sets out on a quest to save the world or loved ones. Animated movies use artificial images like talking cartoons to tell a story. These movies used to be drawn by hand, one frame at a time, but are now made on computers. They can be 2D animated or 3D animated.

Oceania is ruled by "the Party". They use the "Thought Police" and "telescreens" (two-way televisions) to spy on people. People also have to show love for the Party and its leader, Big Brother. While pictures of Big Brother are everywhere, he is never seen for real, and he may not even exist. Winston Smith is an ordinary member of the Party.

Content: He loved Big Brother." Background
Orwell got the idea for the book when he saw in the newspapers of London that they listed how much the country's supplies increased (more supplies) during World War II when they were actually very low on supplies and were getting smaller. He started writing a political satire of the possible condition of Britain in 50 years. He wrote it in 1948, mostly during a visit to Jura, Scotland. He sent the writing to his publishers in December 1948. Setting
A map of the three countries that rule the world in Nineteen Eighty-Four. The main character, Winston Smith, lives in the town of London, United Kingdom (although in the novel, the United Kingdom is called "Airstrip One"). Airstrip One is only a small part of the mega state (big country) of Oceania. Oceania is a very large country. The Americas, Greenland, Iceland, South Africa, Madagascar, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea, all come together to create the country of Oceania.

China, Japan, Korea, and some north-west countries in Asia, make up the country of Eastasia. The equatorial countries (the Middle East, North Africa, etc.) are not part of any of these three countries, as Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia are always fighting over these places.

Content: Likewise, a standard mercury-in-glass thermometer must absorb some thermal energy to record a temperature, and therefore changes the temperature of the body which it is measuring. A common lay misunderstanding of the term refers to quantum mechanics, where, if the outcome of an event has not been observed, it exists in a state of ' superposition ', which is something like being in all possible states at once. In the famous thought experiment known as Schrödinger's cat, the cat is empirically neither alive nor dead until observed – until that time, the cat is theoretically both alive and dead (technically half-alive and half-dead in probability terms). However, most quantum physicists, in resolving Schrödinger's seeming paradox, now understand that the acts of 'observation' and 'measurement' must also be defined in quantum terms before the question makes sense. From this point of view, there is no 'observer effect', only one vastly entangled quantum system. A significant minority still find the equations point to an observer; John Archibald Wheeler, who probably worked more deeply on this subject than any physicist thus far, devised a graphic in which the universe was represented by a "U" with an eye on one end, turned around and viewing itself, to describe his understanding. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is also frequently, confused with the "observer effect". The uncertainty principle actually describes how precisely we may measure the position and momentum of a particle at the same time – if we increase the precision in measuring one quantity, we are forced to lose precision in measuring the other. Thus, the uncertainty principle deals with measurement, and not observation.

Thus, the uncertainty principle deals with measurement, and not observation. The idea that the Uncertainty Principle is caused by disturbance (and hence by observation) is not considered to be valid by some, although it was discussed in the early years of quantum mechanics, and is often repeated in popular treatments. There is a related issue in quantum mechanics relating to whether systems have pre-existing – prior to measurement, that is – properties corresponding to measurements that could possibly be made on them. The assumption that they do is often referred to as " realism " in the literature, although it has been argued that the word "realism" is being used in a more restricted sense than philosophical realism. A recent experiment in the realm of quantum physics has been quoted as meaning that we have to "say goodbye" to realism, although the author of the paper states only that "we would [..] have to give up certain intuitive features of realism". These experiments demonstrate a puzzling relationship between the act of measurement and the system being measured, but it is unclear if they require a conscious observer or not.

Content: based on inscriptions of the winners of a footrace held every four years starting then. The Ancient Games featured running events, a pentathlon (consisting of a jumping event, discus and javelin throws, a foot race and wrestling), boxing, wrestling, and equestrian events. There is no agreement on when the Games officially ended, but many historians think it is 393AD, when the emperor Theodosius I declared that all Pagan religious practices should end. Another date might be 426AD, when the next emperor Theodosius II ordered the destruction of all Greek temples. After the Olympics stopped, they were not held again until the late 19th century. The Growth of the Olympics
Baron Pierre de Coubertin
An attempt to copy the ancient Olympic Games was the L'Olympiade de la République, a national Olympic festival held annually from 1796 to 1798 in Revolutionary France. The competition had several sports from the ancient Greek Olympics. Greek interest in bringing back the Olympic Games began with the Greek War of Independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821. It was first proposed by poet and newspaper editor Panagiotis Soutsos in his poem "Dialogue of the Dead", published in 1833. Evangelis Zappas, a wealthy Greek-Romanian philanthropist, first wrote to King Otto of Greece, in 1856, offering to fund a permanent revival of the Olympic Games.

The woodwind sit in one or two rows (depending on the size of the orchestra) behind the strings. There are five main woodwind instruments: flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, and bassoon. Each of these instruments also come in different versions: The flute has a small version called the piccolo which plays an octave higher. It is the highest instrument in the orchestra. Occasionally there is an alto flute which is longer and plays a fifth (half an octave) lower than the flute. Most woodwind instruments need a reed, but the flute does not have a reed. The bassoon has a larger version:

The Caribbean coastline has many good natural harbors. However, Cristóbal, at the Caribbean terminus of the canal, had the only important port facilities in the late 1980s. The many islands of the Archipiélago de Bocas del Toro, near the beaches of Costa Rica, made an extensive natural roadstead and shield for the port of Almirante. The over 350 San Blas Islands, near Colombia, are spread out for more than 160 kilometres (99 mi) along the sheltered Caribbean coastline. Demographics

Content: They make fun of 'serious' art and even the idea of art. Postmodernism has influenced many cultural fields, including literary criticism, philosophy, sociology, linguistics, architecture, visual arts, and music . The term postmodernism was first commonly used in the 1949 to talk about modern architecture. Many people did not like modern architecture because it had too many box-like shapes and people did not think it was pretty. Some of them started the postmodern architecture movement. Postmodern architecture uses surface ornament, historical reference, and less box-like shapes. Postmodernist ideas can be seen in philosophy, the study of culture and society, literature, architecture, design, as well as in history and law. Postmodernism also led people to think differently about love, marriage, popular culture, and the change in much of the Western world from an industrial to service economy. The term postmodernity usually means the period of time when postmodern ideas became common (the second half of the 20th century).
