Henry Wade, District Attorney of Dallas County Citation 410 U.S. 113 (1973) Decision State laws that make abortions illegal violate women's due process rights Case opinions Majority Justice Blackmun, joined by Justices Burger, Douglas, Brennan, Stewart, Marshall, & Powell Concurring Justices Burger, Douglas, & Stewart Dissenting Justices White and Rehnquist Laws applied 14 th Amendment; Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Articles 1191-94, 1196 v t e Roe v. Wade was a 1971 - 1973 landmark decision by the US Supreme Court. The court ruled that a state law that banned abortions (except to save the life of the mother) was unconstitutional. The ruling made abortion legal in many circumstances. The decision said that a woman's right to privacy extended to the fetus / unborn child she was carrying. In the view of the court, during the first trimester an abortion was no more dangerous than carrying the fetus/child full term. The decision was 7-2, with Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and six other Justices voting for " Jane Roe ", and Justices William Rehnquist and Byron White voting against it. The decision divided the nation and is still controversial today. People divided into pro-life and pro-choice groups.

Title: Roe v. Wade - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Headings: Roe v. Wade Roe v. Wade From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Contents Background The majority decision Dissenting opinion Understanding Roe v. Wade Right to privacy interpretation Trimester concept References Other websites Content: In 1970 a pregnant Texas woman, Norma McCorvey ( alias Jane Roe), brought a lawsuit against Henry Wade, Dallas County District Attorney, in a Texas federal court. Alleging she was a single woman and pregnant, McCorvey wanted to terminate her pregnancy. She wanted it done safely by a doctor but said she could not afford to travel outside of Texas. She could not get a legal abortion in Texas because her life was not in danger. Her lawsuit claimed that the Texas law violated her right to privacy, protected by the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. Roe added she sued "on behalf of herself and all other women" in the same situation. The case slowly made its way to the US Supreme Court. Meanwhile, McCorvey had her baby and placed it for adoption. The majority decision In a 7-2 decision, the court held that a woman's right to an abortion was protected by her right to privacy under the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision allowed a woman to decide whether to keep or abort the fetus/unborn child during the first trimester.

Dissenting opinion The dissenting opinion was written by Justice William Rehnquist. He objected to the majority decision giving several reasons. He first pointed out there was no legitimate plaintiff in the case and that was a requirement to hear the case. A legitimate plaintiff would be a woman in her first trimester of her pregnancy at some point while the case was being tried. McCorvey (Jane Roe) did not fit that qualification and so the ruling had no application to the case. The court recognized a woman's right to abortion under the general "right to privacy from previous cases.

It is a man-made antibiotic. Their ability to kill infectious bacteria is their main function, but some types have other medical uses. For example, sulfasalazine, in addition to its use as an antibiotic, is also used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Sulfonamides (sometimes called sulfa drugs or sulpha drugs) contain the sulfonamide chemical group. The best known of the antibiotic sulfonamide drugs is called Sulfanilimide .

Sulfa had a central role in preventing wound infections during the war. American soldiers were issued a first-aid kit containing sulfa pills and powder, and were told to sprinkle the powder on any open wound. Many thousands of molecules containing the sulfanilamide structure have been created since its discovery (by one account, over 5,400 permutations by 1945). They have greater effectiveness and less toxicity. Sulfa drugs are still widely used for conditions such as acne and urinary tract infections. They are back in favour for use on infections caused by bacteria resistant to other antibiotics.

France was still embarrassed that Germany had been taken during the Franco-Prussian War. The French also made Germany take its troops out of the Rhineland, the long stretch of land on Germany's border with France with the Rhine River, which was important since Germany had many factories and businesses there. If German troops returned the Rhineland, the treaty allowed the French were to invade Germany. Germany also had to give parts to Poland, a country made out of Russian and Austrian parts and the Polish and Lithuanian people who lived in them. Poland had been a big kingdom a few hundred years earlier, but Austria, Prussia and Russia, during the Partitions of Poland, taken parts of the kingdom and ended its existence.

By the 7th century BC, they were ruled by groups of aristocrats. These aristocrats started to become unpopular. This gave cruel people the chance to get power for themselves, telling the people that they would be good rulers, but turning bad once they got power. Around 650 BC the tyrant Cypselus became powerful in Corinth. There were other tyrants in the Asiatic countries that were ruled by Greece. Cypselus’s son Periander was also a cruel tyrant who ruled for 40 years. The tyranny in Corinth came to an end after he died.

Title: Woodwind instrument - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Headings: Woodwind instrument Woodwind instrument Use Content: This is why the saxophone cannot be called a brass instrument, although it is made of brass. The way that a player shapes his mouth to blow an instrument is called the “embouchure”. Woodwind instruments have several different embouchures. In an orchestra there may be two each of flutes, oboes, clarinets and bassoons. In larger orchestras, particularly from the Romantic period onwards, there may be three or four. Sometimes the extra instruments such as the piccolo are used. If, for example, in an orchestral piece the third flute is marked “ doubling piccolo”, it means that the person playing flute 3 will also play the piccolo. However, if the piccolo plays at the same time as flute 3 they will obviously need an extra player for the piccolo part. Woodwind instruments in an orchestra often have short solos. These will be played by the first player (the “section principal”).

The word sacrament comes from the Latin word “sacramentum,” meaning “a sign of the sacred.” They are God’s channels for supplying His grace to us human beings. They are very important to the life of the Church. The Catholic Church recognizes seven sacraments: Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick. The more you learn about the sacraments, the more fully you can celebrate them and the more graces you get from them.

Title: How High Can Commercial Passenger Planes Fly? - Simple Flying Headings: How High Can Commercial Passenger Planes Fly? How High Can Commercial Passenger Planes Fly? Limits set for commercial aircraft Why fly so high? Why don’t aircraft fly higher? Some aircraft can fly higher Justin Hayward Content: For optimal operation, most aircraft will be guided to fly slightly lower than this, typically around 35,000 feet. Why fly so high? There are several reasons why airlines would want to fly their planes at such altitudes. The primary purpose of such operations is to optimize efficiency. At higher altitudes, the air is thinner. This produces less resistance, allowing the aircraft to fly faster using less fuel. Jet engines also operate more efficiently at a higher altitude, as they can be run closer to their maximum capabilities. Flying at higher altitudes can help increase an aircraft’s efficiency. Photo: Jake Hardiman – Simple Flying The exact height chosen for a given flight will also depend on wind conditions.

Finding your own version of a minimalist lifestyle What Minimalism Isn’t 8 common misconceptions about minimalism: 1. Minimalism is about getting rid of everything you own 2. Minimalism is so restrictive it makes life harder 3. Minimalism and being frugal are the same things 4. You can’t have collections or hobbies if you are a minimalist 5. Minimalism means stark, all-white rooms that look cold and uninviting 6. You have to follow a certain set of rules or standards to be a true minimalist 7. You can’t be a minimalist if you have kids. Minimalism only works for young, single people 8. Minimalism only applies to your stuff Minimalism is a tool, not the end goal This post was originally published in February 2017. Updated August 2019. Content: At its core, minimalism is being intentional with the way you live your life. Only allowing what aligns with your most important values to take up your space and your time. Finding your own version of a minimalist lifestyle Using this definition, minimalism will look different for everyone. If you ask 100 different people to show you what is minimalism using this definition, you will end up with 100 different pictures of minimalism. What we each value is personal and unique to us. That’s one of the things I love about minimalism, you can create whatever version of minimalism works for you. The only key is that you decide what is most important to you, and then remove anything that doesn’t line up with and support those values. What Minimalism Isn’t There is no one single answer to the question “what is minimalism?” The concept of minimalism is very open to interpretation. Rather than trying to include everything that minimalism IS, it is more helpful to figure out what minimalism is NOT.

The only key is that you decide what is most important to you, and then remove anything that doesn’t line up with and support those values. What Minimalism Isn’t There is no one single answer to the question “what is minimalism?” The concept of minimalism is very open to interpretation. Rather than trying to include everything that minimalism IS, it is more helpful to figure out what minimalism is NOT. There are a lot of common misconceptions about minimalism. Ideas that make minimalism seem hard to relate to it, undesirable or out of reach for the average person. By addressing these common misconceptions, I hope to show you that minimalism is attainable for and can benefit anyone. 8 common misconceptions about minimalism: 1.

Updated August 2019. Content: Keeping only the supplies you will actually use, rather than stockpiling supplies that are never used. Minimalism is not about depriving yourself of the things you love. That is exactly the opposite of what minimalism really is. The whole point of minimalism is to remove all the excess so you can truly value, see and use the things you love. You get rid of the things you don’t use or love in order to make more room for what you do. 5. Minimalism means stark, all-white rooms that look cold and uninviting While there is a minimalist design aesthetic, often characterized by all-white rooms with little furniture or décor, that doesn’t mean that’s the ONLY way minimalism can look. In fact, minimalism as a lifestyle doesn’t have to look a certain way at all. A minimalist room can also be colorful with books, candles, throw blankets, pillows, etc. Minimalism is when the only things you keep in your space are those that you use often and/or love.

Before potty training, keep a ledger Like any job, potty training requires the right tools Start by getting the child used to sitting on the potty Be prepared for accidents – They are going to happen When your child is too distracted or too hyper-focused to go potty Reward your child for potty success Be sure to teach proper hygiene Graduate from diapers, to pull-ups to underwear MORE ADHD ARTICLES THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST Content: So, keep note of what kind of things they like to do that will keep them sitting in one place for a few minutes that they can also do while sitting on the potty. In the beginning take them to the potty about 15 or 20 minutes after they have eaten, and maybe at 90 minutes to 2 hours intervals through the day. If you have kept a ledger of their potty habits use that to determine how long you should go before taking them to the potty. Be prepared for accidents – They are going to happen Be sure to communicate to your child what the potty is for and what you are expecting of them. But just be aware that in the beginning going potty is going to be somewhat hit-and-miss. Accidents are going to happen. Be prepared for them. When an accident happens, do not make a big fuss over it. Instead, express your confidence that they will do better next time. Try to build up their confidence.

For professional development courses, this is particularly useful, allowing participants to demonstrate to you that they’ve learned new skills. The same is true for high school students. Traditional classrooms are engaging places with lots going on: group work, individual learning, as well as teaching. The virtual learning experience should–in so far as possible–try to be the same. To achieve this, the best online teachers mix up their teaching techniques to boost student engagement. From mind mapping to role playing, several classic teaching methods can make the lesson more lively and interactive.

Postmodernism Constructionism and its rejection of objective reality is a defining characteristic of postmodernism. This is a broad academic trend that has had great influence over the social sciences since the 1960s. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are less influenced by postmodernism because objective reality is important to these fields. For example, if you're designing an aircraft it is important to calculate the objectively correct answer to how much thrust is required in a particular scenario such that the constructionist idea that there are "no correct answers" is useless or dangerous. Notes While many schools are purely based on constructivism, in practice it is possible to balance this with other methods. For example, constructionism may not be useful for mathematics where convergent thinking is important but may be useful for computer science where real world problems are often open-ended.

The term suggests weak evidence based on examples and personal accounts as opposed to information that is statistically significant. Anecdotal evidence is dangerous because it is easy to mislead yourself or others with it. This doesn't mean it has no value as storytelling and word of mouth information can be useful in many contexts. The following are illustrative examples of anecdotal evidence. Storytelling A successful individual tells a story about the failures they faced on their path. Although the information is anecdotal, the audience finds it interesting and instructive. Word of Mouth Coworkers talk about a new restaurant near the office and one says they tried it and that the food was mediocre and the staff were rude. The coworkers don't trust this opinion because this particular individual is often complaining about restaurants in an unreasonable way. Politics A politician tells a story about a specific person who lost their job due to the policies of a political rival.

It is certainly possible for logic to consider human factors. However, human factors are extremely complex. As a result, it is common for logic embedded in processes, rules, practices, validations and algorithms to ignore human factors.

For example, freedom of speech whereby people aren't penalized for voicing unpopular ideas allows for brave literature and art. Law Laws and regulations have broad cultural impacts. For example, laws requiring businesses to close at a particular hour that restrict the night economy of a city. Design Design impacts culture. For example, the urban design of cities influences how communities interact such as a city full of parks, public space and cafe terraces that develops a lively feel. Infrastructure Hard infrastructure such as public sidewalks and soft infrastructure such as hospitals. For example, the construction of roads for automobiles beginning in the early 20th century that transformed cities into concrete jungles with vast suburbs. Health Health can have a significant impact on culture. For example, the theory known as the lead–crime hypothesis that links declining crime rates in multiple countries to the phase-out of lead in gasoline and other products.

This is a broad movement in social sciences, art and architecture that is still emerging such that it is notoriously difficult to define. Practically any venturesome liberal idea that has emerged since 1970 has been labeled as postmodern such that it lacks consistency and cohesion as a school of thought. The following are broad characteristics that can be ascribed to postmodernism. Relativism Rejection of the very idea that universal truths exist. Rejection of Objectivity A rejection of the existence of objectivity and sense that historical and current truisms are simply imposed by oppressive power structures. Facts may be viewed as tools of oppression invented by the system or simply as meaningless and flexible trivia. Complexity A rejection of the minimalism that characterized modern art and architecture. Abstraction Embrace of jargon and complex theories that are heavily abstracted with many conceptual layers such that they are almost impossible to communicate in plain language. Power Structures Postmodern theory tends to view history, society, culture and language as imposed by oppressive power structures.

Demand is a basic economic force that drives a firm's revenue. The following are the basic types of product demand. Unsought Product A product with little or no demand because it doesn't serve a customer need or customers don't understand it. Unsought products also include things that are depressing to buy. Commodity Demand Demand for a commodity such as apples. Individual producers don't influence demand as consumers see commodity products as all the same. Market Fit A product that uniquely serves the needs and preferences of a target market. For example, a movie that is entertaining with good reviews and many fans. Latent Demand A customer need or preference that isn't served by any products or services in the market.

It is a primary tool of urban planning that is based on national law, regional regulations or local ordinances. The following are common examples of zoning. Use Zoning often regulates activities such as residential, agricultural, commercial or industrial use of land. This tends to raise the value of property as people don't want to live beside a site that is unattractive, noisy or generating pollution. Single-use Historically, North American cities tend to have large single-use zones. This is often criticized as negatively impacting quality of life due to factors such as long commutes and large areas with little sense of community. Mixed-use Mixed-use zoning can be used to simulate reasonably dense neighborhoods where people can walk to shopping, work, school, medical appointments, restaurants, green space and other useful features. Night Economy Many zoning laws exclude things like bars, night clubs, performance venues and karaoke. In some cases, mixed-use zoning embraces these features of the night economy as part of a strategy of fostering lively neighborhoods.

Title: How Does Recycling Help to Reduce Pollution — Simply Eco Store Headings: How Does Recycling Help to Reduce Pollution How Does Recycling Help to Reduce Pollution Who are the biggest polluters? How does recycling help? Content: Burning charcoal and wood to generate heat also results in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and dust particle emissions. This is a great problem in low-income countries, where most of the energy generated for heating is acquired by burning coal. 3. Agriculture is also a significant contributor when it comes to pollution. Both crop cultivation and livestock contribute to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The use of pesticides and fertilizers is considered a must in almost every plant production, bigger or smaller. If not used properly, which happens more often than it should, these chemicals can contaminate soils, underground waters and kill certain beneficial species, thus disrupting and impoverishing entire ecosystems. Raising cattle for food emits 14,5% of all greenhouse gas emissions, significantly contributing to increasing methane levels in the atmosphere. 4. Last, but not least, we ourselves are also contributing to both local and global pollution with improper waste management and overuse of plastic.

Definitions, examples, how tos, and more What is civic engagement? Definitions, examples, how tos, and more. What is civic engagement? Why practice civic engagement? Examples of civic engagement Community groups and projects Education groups Advocacy groups Government organisations What is civic engagement used for? Greater inclusiveness and diversity Youth engagement Improved education Informing policy How do I create a civic engagement plan? Purpose Stakeholders Process Resources Objectives Situation Actions Analysis Reporting How is civic engagement measured? What civic engagement tools can I use? What’s the best way to get started with civic engagement? Content: Improved relationships – Engaged community members develop stronger connections with one another Increased social cohesion – Community members develop a sense of trust, belonging and reciprocity Improved community – Engaged people actively work to improve their community and care for it through volunteering, education and other activities Better education – Engaged citizens are more likely to read and discuss the news and share information with others Greater understanding – The right civic engagement opportunities can help keep the community informed about local events and opportunities Growth and development – Civic engagement can mean investing in community members with skills, information and motivation to contribute and make a difference Individual responsibility – It encourages individuals to see themselves as part of a wider community and feel responsible for contributing to and improving that community for the benefit of all Better quality of life – Community members can address their concerns and influence decisions to improve the quality of life for the community as a whole Better government – Civic engagement is essential for a functioning democratic government On that last point – in order for democracy to succeed, it needs public participation. Civic engagement helps citizens to become aware of their community’s needs and how problems could be solved. This motivates them to become more involved in politics through voting, sharing their opinions and encouraging political actions that support their values. Examples of civic engagement Civic engagement is primarily focused on political and community related activities. Here are a few examples you might find in your local community… Community groups and projects Clean-up programs like Clean Up Australia Day Food pantries like Foodbank Neighbourhood groups Encouraging civic engagement through these groups might look like more sign ups, more people volunteering or more donations. Or members might represent their interests at council or community meetings. Education groups School boards College or university groups College unions Again, civic engagement in these instances might look like more memberships and more time spent volunteering. Or a community member may write to these groups to encourage action on or attention to a particular issue. Advocacy groups Disability rights groups Homelessness advocacy services Animal rights groups and/or animal shelters Homeowners’ rights groups Participation in these groups might include sharing their content and spreading their message online or offline. It might involve volunteering time and skills, writing to the media or local politician about current issues, or donating funds.

They allow students to take journeys into ancient history, travel across the universe, and visit museums in different countries, all without leaving the classroom. One of the biggest feats of such technologies is that they make the learning experience more engaging, awe-inspiring and transformative. They allow us to shift mindsets and send powerful messages through immersive experiences. For instance, the Google Expeditions Pioneer Program will allow teachers to take their students on a journey anywhere in the world. Whether it’s “exploring coral reefs or the surface of Mars in an afternoon,” teachers can take students on immersive virtual field trips. Could this be the beginning of an entirely virtual school? These immersive experiences have the potential to contribute to faster learning, better retention, and improved decision-making. It is important to note the curricula integrated with the technology are just as important as the technology itself. There is no point digitizing already flawed curricula.

The World Bank and UNICEF are now providing Bangladesh financial support to develop alternative drinking water supplies from sources such as stored rainwater or treated pond water. Source: Harvard Arsenic Project In recent years, exposure to arsenic in drinking water has also been identified as a health concern in regions of the United States where bedrock contains unusually high levels of arsenic, such as areas of New Hampshire, Maine, Michigan and regions in the Southwest and Rockies. Scientific advances including new techniques for accurately measuring small amounts of arsenic in rock and in water are now enabling scientists to detect the presence of arsenic with accuracy and to assess the long-term effects of relatively low levels of arsenic on ecosystems and human health. Who is at Risk of Harm from Arsenic Poisoning? Tobacco itself contained high levels of arsenic until recently, due to the extensive use of arsenic-based pesticides in tobacco farming. In the past, people exposed to arsenic in the workplace were at greatest risk of arsenic poisoning. People involved in the mining, processing or smelting of arsenic ores and people involved in the manufacture or use of arsenic-containing pesticides often inhaled arsenic on the job. Their risk of developing lung cancer was high, and even higher if they also smoked cigarettes.

Title: Book Banning – UNSUITABLE Headings: Book Banning Book Banning Book Banning and Romance Fiction in the United States Challenged Romance Novels Conclusion References Content: Brady, 2016) The extreme rise in banned and challenged books led to the American Library Association to respond with the creation of Banned Books Week in 1982. When Banned Books Week was first implemented, it consisted of libraries and book stores displaying books which had been banned. The purpose of doing so was that people who passed by would see what books were banned. “ Those displays were enormously effective communication tools,” says Finan, “because people would wander over and find out that the books they love had been challenged. Suddenly they understood that censorship isn’t just about fringe literature.” ( Brady, 2016) As of 2017, Banned Books Week has sponsors and events such as city-wide scavenger hunts in order to get the public motivated and involved with learning about banned books and becoming aware of how hard it is to find some of them. Keeping the public informed on books which are in the process of being banned, or which have been banned, allows them to understand that literature which is made to broaden the mind is at risk of being taken away. In an interview given on the condition of anonymity, an employee of a local bookstore noted, “we do it every year because we know it’s important…we make sure it goes front and center.” ( Quail Ridge Books, 2017) Although fewer books are being banned each year, many are still being challenged at the state and local levels. “ Between 1990 and 2000, there were 6,364 challenges reported to or recorded by the Office for Intellectual Freedom.” (

Another twenty-four percent were to material in public libraries. Sixty percent of the challenges were brought by parents, fifteen percent by patrons, and nine percent by administrators.” (

Title: Book Banning – UNSUITABLE Headings: Book Banning Book Banning Book Banning and Romance Fiction in the United States Challenged Romance Novels Conclusion References Content: Schools and Censorship: Banned Books, 2008) Libraries are institutions which are most often found to have books being challenged. “ When filling their shelves, librarians do not judge the content of books on whether it would be suitable for all audiences. As public institutions, libraries may not discriminate on disseminating information on the basis of age, sex or race, which means that people can check out whatever materials they choose.” ( Conger, 2008) Libraries usually have boards which approve or disapprove of the addition of new titles, yet many books fall through the cracks. Today, roughly 250-350 books are challenged each year. ( Top Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books List, n.d.) The following infographic displays reasons books were challenged in 2013, confirming the fact that some of the most common reasons include ‘sexually explicit’ and ‘offensive language’. ( Crum, 2014) Among the states which ban books the most are Texas, Oregon, North Carolina and Connecticut.

( Crum, 2014) As previously stated, parents and librarians are those who are most often found to ban books. In an excerpt of an interview from Scott DiMarco, a librarian and library director, we learn why banning books can sometimes be used to prove a point. “ By using a familiar and well-liked local author [Dennis Miller], the sharp point of what harm censorship can really do to a community could be driven home in a way that it never could with the standard list that we all hang up every year.” ( DiMarco, 2013) DiMarco banned a book in order to make his community aware of the effects of having free speech taken away. “ In conclusion, a typical set of programs on the topic of censorship were met by our campus community with general apathy and pleasant indifference. Our unorthodox (okay, heretical) experiment was very successful in highlighting how a simple bureaucratic decision can curb our freedom to read.” (

Industrialization had many positive and negative effects on the citizens of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. Positive Effects Industrialization had many positive effects on society in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. The creation of power machines and factories provided many new job opportunities. The new machinery increased production speed of good and gave people the ability to transport raw materials. Industrialization also lead to urbanization. Urbanization is the movement of people into cities and city building. Citizens wanted to live closer to the factories that they worked at. The Western World went from rural and agricultural to urban industrial. Industrialization in Europe is known for rapid development of manufacturing and trade.

Urban areas doubled, tripled, or quadrupled in size which led to over crowding in cities. Sometimes a large population is a good thing, but in this case the population was too big and caused many health problems. Living conditions were dirty and unhealthy. Cities were unsanitary and diseases filled the streets. There were no sanitation codes in cities. Many citizens got very sick. This picture is an example of what the streets and city looked like. Work in Factories: Factory work was dirty and dangerous.

Title: Chapter 12 Mongols - AP World History Headings: Chapter 12 Mongols Chapter 12 Mongols Content: Other reasons for the Mongols’ success include their ability to learn new military techniques, adopt new military technology, and incorporate non-Mongol soldiers into their armies; their reputation for slaughtering all those who would not surrender; and their ability to take advantage of rivalries among their enemies. C. Overland Trade and the Plague 1. The Mongol conquests opened overland trade routes and brought about an unprecedented commercial integration of Eurasia. The growth of long-distance trade under the Mongols led to significant transfer of military and scientific knowledge among Europe, the Middle East, China, Iran, and Japan. 2. Diseases including the bubonic plague also spread over the trade routes of the Mongol Empire. The plague that had lingered in Yunnan (now southwest China) was transferred to central and north China, to Central Asia, to Kaffa, and from there to the Mediterranean world. II.

Title: Industrialization, Urbanization, and Immigration - nashennSSpraxis 12 Headings: Industrialization, Urbanization, and Immigration Industrialization, Urbanization, and Immigration Content: By 1890, there were 58 cities that size with nearly 12 million people. Most were in the Northeast and near the Great Lakes. The vast majority of cities grew with only minimal, if any planning. Most choices about land use and construction were made by individual landowners, developers, and builders who wanted to make large profits. Thus, everyone buildt the most working and li\ving space for the least cost - leaving little room for pleasant or open space. Consequences of Rapid Urbanization On the positive side, urbanization brought new jobs, new opportunities, new housing, and new transportation; but on the negative side, urbanization gave rise to widespread urban poverty, sub-standard housing, environmental degradation, increasing crime and violence, violent clashes between labor and management, and political corruption. Housing problems… Urbanization in the late 1800s was especially bad in New York City. Crime: crimes against persons, crimes against property, crimes agains societal morality Environmental degradation Political corruption, patronage, and the "well-greased" political machine The Democratic Party bribed the state legislature to pass laws that increased the power of the city to tax, borrow, and spend.

Then a leader built public support by spending tax funds on various charities, helping the poor, and funding construction projects. The poor and those receiving jobs and construction contracts, in turn, were expected to vote for the politicians. When helping construction businesses, city governors expected kick backs from the already inflated construction budgets, as well as votes. It all worked like a well-greased machine. When a machine amassed great power - as it did in New York City, it would often have a well-known boss.

Title: Causes of Imperialism in Africa - Imperialist Africa Headings: Causes of Imperialism in Africa Causes of Imperialism in Africa Religion Superiority Content: www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/stanley_sir_henry_morton.shtml In a region to the north, King Leopold II of Belgium commissioned explorer Henry Morgan Stanley, of whom the British had denied support, to "explore the Congo (Zaire) in the hope of riches," (Rowell 6). Eventually, Leopold "carved out a personal colony and filled it with lucrative rubber plantations run by forced labor," (B&Z 740). Nationalism European superiority not only translated as the notion of being greater than Africans, but also as the desire to promote patriotism within individual imperial powers: for example, Italy sought out colonies because "They were something to show your neighbor," (Rowell 6). In the words of historian Giuliano Procacci, King Umberto I desired "...to convince the Italians that Italy too was a great power, and so to surround with a halo of prestige a state that would otherwise have had little" (6). Kaiser Wilhelm II viewed Germany as the greatest nation, sharing his views in "A Place in the Sun:" http://www.fordham.edu/Halsall/mod/1901Kaiser.asp The Scramble was in part prompted by the fact that Europeans were propelled into taking subject lands to prove that their own nationality was superior to others, and thus Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, and others attempted to acquire the largest, most profitable section of Africa to simply out-conquest other governing bodies and glorify their own nation. Religion Religion, too, shaped the course of events that took place in 19th century Africa, as Christian missionaries ventured to "The Dark Continent" to share their beliefs with unenlightened individuals. The best known missionary was David Livingstone, who spread the Christian message throughout Central Africa. Historian R.R. Palmer wrote that "He gave himself to humanitarian and religious work, with a little occasional trading and much travel and exploration, but without political or true economic aims."

Hypothesis: Yes, light intensity does affect the rate of photosynthesis. Too much light may cause plants to "burn out" while too little light will not provide enough light for optimal photosynthesis activity. Standards Biology Standards Students know usable energy is captured from sunlight by chloroplasts and is stored through the synthesis of sugar from carbon dioxide. Experimental Design This experiment will look at the affect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis on Elodea plants. The rate of photosynthesis is determined by the number of bubbles formed by the Elodea plants. The oxygen bubbles are a product of photosynthesis. Plants have shown to produce more bubbles when placed closer to a light source than further away. The efficiency of photosynthesis can be measured by the amount of oxygen bubbles formed during a given amount of time.

Additionally, more policies were adopted with the goal of increasing the likelihood and longevity of imprisonment. The implementation and strict enforcement of harsh drug laws is viewed as one of the main reasons for the large racial disparities that are seen in prisons today. According to scholars, black people are four times as likely as white people to be arrested for drug offenses and 2.5 times as likely to be arrested for drug possessions despite the fact that white people and black people use drugs at the same rate. The creation of policies like “Stop-and-frisk” allowed for police officers to stop and question anyone who they deemed suspicious. Because racial disparities begin at the initial encounter people of color have with police their race is more likely to impact the outcome of the interaction. Evidence shows that initial police stops are unlikely to result in incarceration, however the prevalence of prior convictions increases chances of future incarceration, something that disproportionately impacts people of color. Implicit bias impacts the perceptions the public can have on people of color. Multiple pieces of evidence point to the fact that beliefs about the dangerousness and threats to public safety are related to these perceptions. Scholars have found that people of color receive harsher punishments than their white counterparts because they are perceived as being more violent and imposing a greater threat to public safety.

Scholars have found that African Americans make up the majority of people living in poverty where a large amount of socio-economic vulnerabilities can cause higher crime rates, thus exposing them to disparities in the criminal justice system that may negatively impact them. People of color in America are disadvantaged from the very beginning. America makes up 5 percent of the world’s population; however, we house 25 percent of the world’s inmate population as a whole causing us to have the largest incarceration rate in the world. Out of the total 6.8 million incarcerated population, 2.3 million are black. According to a report by Dr. Ashley Nellis, African Americans are incarcerated in state prisons across the country at more than five times the rate of whites, and at least ten times the rate in five states. Because of this, mass incarceration has become a method of disenfranchising Black voters, shrinking the electorate, and engineering voter suppression. Additionally, Black Americans are incarcerated for drug-related offenses at a rate 10 times higher than that of white Americans although drug usage among the races is roughly the same. The high rate of incarceration among black people has major impacts on their mental and physical health and overall quality of life.

That’s because characters of color remain underrepresented in mainstream movies and TV shows. In addition, many actors of color are asked to play stereotypical roles—from maids and immigrants to thugs and prostitutes in Hollywood. This lecture breaks down how African American, Irish, Hispanics, Italian, Jewish, and Middle Easterners continue to face stereotypes on both the big and small screen. These common misconceptions about groups of people are still being portrayed in the media. The inaccuracy of ethnic groups can affect how we perceive one another and relate to one another. Children are especially vulnerable to the media’s stereotypes because they have a very limited view of the world. African Americans African Americans are the most stereotyped people in the modern and historical United States. They are portrayed as lazy, unintelligent, loud, immoral, destructive, and obnoxious as well as being portrayed as criminals or thugs in the media. As with all stereotypes, these stereotypes are lazy and only used to denigrate people who are seen as “different” from the person asserting the stereotype.

These stereotypes are pushed even further by the media and how African Americans are portrayed in films. They tend to be cast in only certain roles that can be considered racist or at a minimum, stereotypical. These roles include the “Magical Negro”, thugs, a maid or butler, and a brash woman. These casting patterns can have a huge impact on how African Americans are viewed, especially when they reinforce stereotypes that are demeaning. The thug role that African Americans portray in movies may be the most common stereotyped role.

Title: Colonization in Africa and the United States | AFR 110: Intro to Contemporary Africa Headings: Colonization in Africa and the United States Colonization in Africa and the United States Content: These Empires traded slaves with the Europeans for guns that would help them secure and grow their empires. The slave trade had led to underdevelopment of the continent. This led to Africa being vulnerable to colonization by European forces in the late 1800’s. The Scramble for Africa following the Berlin Conference divvied up the continent between the European powers, leading to annexation of the continent. The impetus for the African colonization of the late 1800’s was much different to that of the colonization of the United States and the “New World.” American colonization was driven by the desire to conquer this “New World” and to lay claim to as much of the Americas as possible. The impetus for African colonization was driven by profit, and was done so take advantage of the continent’s resources and to dominate the continent. It wasn’t until after WWII did African’s begin to make strides towards independence from the European control. Ghana was the first colonized nation to gain independence from European colonial rule, and did so in the late 50s. Many African nations followed, but not without armed conflict in many regions, primarily where many European’s had settled.

Title: America’s Prison System is Flawed | Applied Social Psychology (ASP) Headings: America’s Prison System is Flawed America’s Prison System is Flawed Content: Mass incarceration breaks up families and causes former convicts to become unemployed. This has raised the American poverty rate by 20%. ( 2017). Overall, Prisons in America are flawed in many ways. One flaw that plagues our system of punishment is racial bias. Black men are incarcerated more than white men even though they make up less of the population. Also, five times as many white people use drugs as African-Americans, but black people are imprisoned 10 times more (Lichtenberg, 2016). The third requirement of a good prison system is that similar crimes should be treated similarly, which is clearly not the case in our prisons. Colored people who commit the same crimes are not treated the same way as white people would be. Our prison system has many problems and is in desperate need of reform.

Some of these problems include inhumane living conditions, racial bias, and increased risk of reincarceration. We can solve these problems if we meet three requirements of an effective system. Firstly, the punishment has to fit the crime. Secondly, it has to do more harm than good. And, thirdly similar crimes should be sentenced in the same way.

Title: The Roman Empire: The Fall of the Roman Republic | Tiberius Headings: Content: Roman tradition became less and less important to political figures later on in the Roman Republic, until 30’s BC where much Roman tradition was considered a thing of the past. The fall of the senatorial power in Rome can be described by different specific events; for example, Tiberius Gracchus, elected tribune of the plebs in 133 BC, proposed a law known as Lex Sempronia Agraria, which in essence gave land to those who are poor and have fought in the army and had no land to return to. This is the first of many acts that started to define the different views and wants of the Optimates (the people of power, such as the senate) and the Populares (the roman people as a whole). Knowing that the senate would disagree with his proposal, he bypassed the senate and took his proposal directly to the Popular Assembly; this was considered a major insult to the senate. Tiberius Gracchus’s younger and more persistent brother, Gaius Gracchus, also broke many rules of tradition and was blatantly insulting towards the senate. Gracchus, however, focused much more on the enfranchisement of the Italian allies of Rome (this is seen as a move towards populares ). C. Marius began to break tradition and law as well by taking men into his army who did not own any land previously. Marius and Sulla were the first two political figures in Rome who used considerable military force to get what they wanted, and this trend continued all through the fall of the Roman Republic and into the Roman Empire.

Gaius Julius Caesar, previous general and consul of Rome, played a vital role in the fall of the Roman Republic. Caesar, Gnaeus Pompeius (Pompey), and Marcus Crassus together formed what was later called the “First Triumvirate” in 60 BC. Political differences and bickering eventually led to the fall of the Triumvirate, and Crassus’ death in 53 BC after a lost battle against Parthia in the East was the first true unsettlement in the Triumvirate. After years of civil war between Pompey and Caesar sparked from conflicting views, 48 BC marked Pompey’s brutal death in Egypt. 45 BC marked the true end of the civil war, leaving Caesar to be the only triumvir left of the First Triumvirate.

Why Recycling E-waste Got Expensive? What Should Be Done? Content: The Cost of Recycling E-Waste is becoming a Problem | Corrie Struthers The Cost of Recycling E-Waste is becoming a Problem April 27, 2016 Corrie Struthers Starting July 1 st, dump trucks can drop old CRT TVs and other electronic devices into West Virginia’s landfills because the state overturned a bill that banned throwing away electronic waste. A recent article in NBC News expresses how old TVs and other electronics are creating a problem for recycling programs across the United States. The problem emerged because companies used to be able to recycle televisions for free but now they are being charged to send them somewhere else. Many companies can’t afford these charges and have to stop their recycling programs. Why is it important to recycle old TVs? Many electronic devices contain toxic substances like lead, mercury, beryllium and cadmium. When these devices are not disposed of properly, they become hazardous to our health and the environment especially if they leach out of a landfill. If e-waste does not get recycled, it will continue to cause harm to ourselves and the environment. Why Recycling E-waste Got Expensive? Many old TVs used to contain about 6 lbs of lead.

This lead could be melted down to make new cathode ray tubes (CRT) for TVs. Now many televisions use LED and plasma which doesn’t contain lead. This created a weak demand for lead filled glass used in TVs. Other materials like gold and copper that are used in TVs have had a decline in prices which makes stripping old sets unprofitable. When the prices used to be higher, companies were more willing to recycle the old televisions.

Why Recycling E-waste Got Expensive? What Should Be Done? Content: Companies are finding it easier to throw away e-waste into a landfill because of the increased cost of recycling. It is approximately $40 a pound to process a ton of trash and $360 a pound for electronic waste. Many companies can’t afford this cost of recycling. What Should Be Done? It is important to teach people the importance of properly recycling their electronics instead of dumping them even if it cost more. States should also provide financial assistance to the recycling companies to provide a cheaper and easier way to recycle e-waste. Manufacturers should also be more involved and provide funds for recycling programs. With this combination, recycling e-waste should be affordable and easy again. Post navigation ← →

Title: Third Genders: New Concept? Or Old? | The Evolution of Human Sexuality Headings: Third Genders: New Concept? Or Old? Third Genders: New Concept? Or Old? Content: Or Old? February 19, 2014 Lee Bader 8 Comments In nearly all of human history and, in particular, human culture, we have recognized and integrated at least two genders. For most societies, this means labeling two sexes (male/female) and two genders (man/woman) with the ideas of transsexualism and homosexuality being their own separate sect as novel and unprecedented, however cases of a “third gender” are well documented in multiple societies. There are an overwhelming amount of examples of another or “third gender” in cultures in the past: In indigenous Hawaii, before its colonization, there was a long standing multiple gender tradition, where the mahu could be a male or female biologically, but decide to inhabit a gender role either opposite theirs, somewhere in between the traditional sex roles, or even both masculine and feminine roles. Instead of being written off as outcasts, as persons of atypical gender identities often are today, these mahu were revered in their social roles as sacred educators of ancient traditions In ancient Incan culture, the Incas worshipped a “dual gendered god” known as chuqui chinchay, who could only be attended and honored by third gender shamans or servants who wore androgynous clothing as “a visible sign of a third space that negotiated between the masculine and the feminine, the present and the past, the living and the dead.” Among the Sakalavas of Madagascar, there is a third gender group reserved especially for little boys thought to have a feminine appearance and personality. These boys, rather than labeled as “gay men” after maturing and experiencing the upbringing of a male, are instead raised by their parents as girls from a young age. Though many of these societies may refer to transsexuals or homosexuals as a third or separate gender, most of the time, these extra genders represent individuals who identify neither as men nor women. To most of these cultures, this means that the third gender symbolizes the intermediate condition between the genders or a state of being both. (

( This is often described as the “spirit of a man in a woman’s body” and vice versa.) In layman’s terms, this means that individuals included in this third gender either have no gender affiliation, have the ability to cross or swap between genders, or are a gender category all together independent of the traditional male and female roles. It doesn’t always stop at third. Third genders are widely accepted as being understood as an “other” gender, but fourth, fifth, and sixth genders have been documented by anthropologists as well. In contemporary societies, people have started to draw a line between sex (biological and anatomical nature) and gender (social and psychological nature).

Many modern societies continue to be conservative with their idea of gender and only recognize a two-gender system, which they, ethnocentrically, believe to be the social norm. This is known as “heteronormativity”: female genitalia = female identity = feminine behavior = desire male partner male genitalia = male identity = masculine behavior = desire female partner Third genders are still documented in contemporary society today. The most well known of these cases are recorded in the Indian subcontinent in the roles of the “hijras”. Hijras are born intersex or male, but dress in feminine clothing, retaining a gender that is neither male nor female.

Title: U01: Ronald Reagan and the Federal Deinstitutionalization of Mentally Ill Patients | PSY 833: Ethics and Leadership (Wheeler) Headings: Content: all., 2015). From the consequentialist perspective one can assume that Regan thought that cutting the budget for mental health issues would do less harm than not cutting the budget. The OBRA gave mental ill patients a choice to seek treatment outside of a mental institution and the freedom to administer their own medication but it also put a stronger burden on families and those very people who are ill. It removed guaranteed access to individuals with the expertise to treat the mentally ill. It removed the ability for families to easily navigate the system to find sound help. It allowed each state to decide how much funding should be put into caring for the mentally ill-which after everything else that the state budget must consider–depending on its importance receives or doesn’t receive funding. Whether the state provides a lucrative budget for mental health facilities, dictates the level of care one can receive. Then it’s up to the private companies to supplement the lack of facilities. And, only the elite or well-off have access to such facilities as they can be quite expensive or only accept a certain type of insurance.

Title: Race in the Media: Is Representation a Problem? | Dreams Come True Headings: Race in the Media: Is Representation a Problem? Race in the Media: Is Representation a Problem? Content: According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American will spend a total of nine years watching TV in their lifetime. If this activity can eat up so much of our lives, it’s reasonable to think that it has some power over how we see the world. If the shows, movies, commercials, and news that Americans watched included more racially diverse people in diverse roles, viewers would probably become used to and more accepting of people of different races. In addition to this, media exposure could be a positive thing for members of minorities who feel ignored in American society. Lack of representation can be seen as a form of racial erasure, which is naturally disheartening for the people who are being overlooked. Many people even suffer from poor self-image because of their color and how it is portrayed in the media. This anonymous post on the Experience Project demonstrates how lack of representation in the media can make people feel insecure: “All the time on TV and in the magazines, I see these beautiful white girls with long, silky blond hair and flawless pale skin. And I ask myself: why am I stuck with almond brown skin and a head full of curly hair?”

After all, the depiction of people of color can be stereotypical and more harmful than helpful. But as a first step, the inclusion of racially diverse people works pretty well. It would serve a dual purpose by exposing viewers to people different than themselves and building up those who feel excluded. By doing this, the media can play a significant part in creating a more harmonious environment in the United States, where hateful comments like those against Amandla Sternberg, Nina Davuluri, Richard Sherman, and anyone who has been attacked like them would not be said.

Title: The process of policy. Headings: The process of policy. The process of policy. Leave a Reply Cancel reply Content: Bills are presented to the House of Representatives where subcommittees and interest groups have the power to add amendments. The approved Bill is then sent to the Senate where more provisions may be made. Once approved through the Senate the bill is passed on to the President who can either chose to sign it making it a law, or veto it in which case the bill could only be overturned if 2/3 of Congress vote to pass the bill. Finally, once the bill has passed the legislative process it is forwarded to the agency which will be responsible for it’s implementation. The states are then responsible for establishing the bill protocol within their own governments. Now that you understand the complex process through which health policy is created, let’s take a look at this process in action. While I was in D.C. I attended a White House convening between Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and Secretary Julián Castro of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development . Image Source The convening focused on a proposed policy which would ban smoking within 25 feet of all public housing in the U.S. In the audience was a variety of public health professionals; physicians, government health agency employees, health advocates, non-profit employees, policy developers and health communicators. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the potential ramifications of passing the bill as well as identifying concerns that community members had with the proposed legislation changes.

Title: Augustus | Warfare in Roman Culture Headings: Augustus Augustus Content: Previously, the Roman army was an Greek/Italian style army made up by the common man. The average Roman soldier would be a volunteer who might have been a farmer or artisan in everyday life, was untrained, and would serve for around 10 years. Under Augustus, the Roman army was transformed into a true, professional army. Roman legionnaires were highly trained and served for closer to 20 years. Since the army is still made of volunteers, Augustus needed convince young Romans to dedicate their working life to the army. Thankfully for him, his entire reformation process was based around centralizing the Roman focus to the needs of the state, so he was already on his way to building a massively strong army. However on top of that he enacted a few laws that provided benefits for soldiers in the Roman army. For example, Augustus set aside a portion of the Roman treasury for the aerarium militare, or military treasury, which provided financial support such as pensions for the troops (“Augustan Army Reforms”). With more reason to join the army, Roman men jumped on the opportunity, and once again followed along with the visions of Augustus. Like every reform Augustus made this strengthened both Rome itself and the desire of the common man to further Roman glory.

The arguments are usually based on the beliefs that life is given by God and that human beings are made in the image of God. Life is a gift from God . All life is God-given. Birth and death are part of the life processes which God has created, so we should respect them. Therefore no human being has the authority to take the life of any innocent person, even if that person wants to die Human beings are valuable because they are made in God’s ima ge. Human life possesses an intrinsic dignity and value because it is created by God in his own image for the distinctive destiny of sharing in God’s own life. Saying that God created humankind in his own image doesn’t mean that people actually look like God, but that people have a unique capacity for rational existence that enables them to see what is good and to want what is good. As people develop these abilities they live a life that is as close as possible to God’s life of love. This is a good thing, and life should be preserved so that people can go on doing this.

Title: Religious Perspectives On Euthanasia - Institute of Clinical Bioethics Headings: Religious Perspectives On Euthanasia Religious Perspectives On Euthanasia General Christian View Position of Protestant Denominations Episcopal: Presbyterian Church in America: Mainline and Liberal Christian denominations: Position of Judaism Position of Islam Content: Furthermore, no one is permitted to ask for this act of killing, either for himself or herself or for another person entrusted to his or her care, nor can he or she consent to it, either explicitly or implicitly, nor can any authority legitimately recommend or permit such an action. For it is a question of the violation of the divine law, an offense against the dignity of the human person, a crime against life, and an attack on humanity. It may happen that, by reason of prolonged and barely tolerable pain, for deeply personal or other reasons, people may be led to believe that they can legitimately ask for death or obtain it for others. Although in these cases the guilt of the individual may be reduced or completely absent, nevertheless the error of judgment into which the conscience falls, perhaps in good faith, does not change the nature of this act of killing, which will always be in itself something to be rejected. The pleas of gravely ill people who sometimes ask for death are not to be understood as implying a true desire for euthanasia; in fact, it is almost always a case of an anguished plea for help and love. What a sick person needs, besides medical care, is love, the human and supernatural warmth with which the sick person can and ought to be surrounded by all those close to him or her, parents and children, doctors and nurses. Position of Protestant Denominations A number of Protestant denominations have issued statements on euthanasia and physician assisted suicide. Conservative faith groups tend to be most vocal in their opposition. Liberal denominations tend to be more in favor of individual choice.

Title: Religious Perspectives On Euthanasia - Institute of Clinical Bioethics Headings: Religious Perspectives On Euthanasia Religious Perspectives On Euthanasia General Christian View Position of Protestant Denominations Episcopal: Presbyterian Church in America: Mainline and Liberal Christian denominations: Position of Judaism Position of Islam Content: Lutheran: As a church we affirm that deliberately destroying life created in the image of God is contrary to our Christian conscience. While this affirmation is clear, we also recognize that responsible health care professionals struggle to choose the lesser evil in ambiguous borderline situations — for example, when pain becomes so unmanageable that life is indistinguishable from torture. Baptist: Assisted dying violates the sanctity of human life. Methodist: Methodists generally accept the individual’s freedom of conscience to determine the means and timing of death. Some regional conferences have endorsed the legalization of physician assisted dying. ‘Euthanasia’ or ‘mercy-killing’ of a patient by a physician or by anyone else, including the patient himself (suicide) is murder.

It has not asserted that hastened dying is the Christian position, but the right to choose is a legitimate Christian decision. Pro-choice statements have been made by the United Church of Christ, and the Methodist Church on the US West coast. The Episcopalian, Methodist, and Presbyterian are amongst the most liberal, allowing at least individual decision making in cases of active euthanasia.

Mainline and Liberal Christian denominations: Position of Judaism Euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, and all other types of suicide are almost unanimously condemned in Jewish thought, primarily because it is viewed as taking something (a human life) that belongs to God for “only He who gives life may take it away.” For Judaism, human life is, “created in the image of God.” Although life is considered to be God’s creation and good, human life is related to God in a special way: it is sacred.

The sanctity of human life prescribes that, in any situation short of self-defense or martyrdom, human life must be treated as an end in itself. It may thus not be terminated or shortened because of considerations of the patient’s convenience or usefulness, or even sympathy with the suffering of the patient. Thus euthanasia may not be performed either in the interest of the patient or of anyone else. Jewish law strongly condemns any act that shortens life and treats the killing of a person whom the doctors say will die in any event to be an act of murder. Positive euthanasia is thus ruled out.

Title: How Did the Roles of Women Change Over the Course of the Late 19th Century? | samanthacurtis Headings: How Did the Roles of Women Change Over the Course of the Late 19th Century? How Did the Roles of Women Change Over the Course of the Late 19th Century? Content: They enjoyed few political, legal, or social rights and were expected to be subservient to their husbands and fathers in all matters. However, with the coming of the First World War and the industrial revolution the demand for workers to produce goods was higher than the available men in the U.S. at the time. As a result, women gained entry into the workforce and from that grew to establish gender equality within the United States permanently. Prior to World War I and the Industrial Revolution, women were primarily homemakers. The few jobs that were available to them were being a maid or a servant to a noble family, which entailed the exact same work ethic they applied when caring for their own families. There was little to no education for women and almost no opportunity for growth and advancement within the workplace. Along with the long-hours and hard working conditions, pregnant women were also expected to continue working up until their due date and return to work almost immediately afterward. Combining exhaustion with the sub-par medical practices of the time, most women had a severely low life expectancy and ended up literally working themselves to death. Toward the late 19 th century World War I broke out, also bringing on an increased demand for wartime goods and weaponry. With the men abroad, women stepped in to fill their shoes working in factories and acting as nurses to the wounded who returned home.

With the men abroad, women stepped in to fill their shoes working in factories and acting as nurses to the wounded who returned home. This was the first time women were able to branch out in the workforce and try their hand at manual labor. Following the war came the Industrial Revolution, which increased production drastically, and the need for workers even more so than before. Utilizing this platform, women of the late 1800’s utilized it to increase their involvement in politics and enforce their right to vote. With these developments came a drastic shift from rural to city life and the lessening of women dealing only with domestic affairs. The end of the 19 th century marked a time of change and reform for women.

Title: Digital Citizenship: The Good, The Bad, & The Role of the Internet – UAB Institute for Human Rights Blog Headings: Digital Citizenship: The Good, The Bad, & The Role of the Internet Digital Citizenship: The Good, The Bad, & The Role of the Internet The Good The Bad Digital Citizenship and Human Rights Content: politicians can directly speak to voters who then participate in the political arena without leaving their home. Technological advancements in communication play an important role in influencing electoral behavior, easing the accessibility of political information. The Internet makes it easier to find out a candidate’s platform, what they want to work for, and their history. By using the internet in this way, people are engaging in what is now known as “ digital citizenship .” A “digital citizen” is one who engages in democratic affairs in conventional ways by using an unconventional medium such as their laptop or smartphone. The media’s role in elections and politics has grown exponentially since the 1960s. Prior to television, presidential candidates relied on the radio, think of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s fireside chats, and other interpersonal means to communicate with voters: caucuses, party conventions, town halls, and so on. As technology progressed and television became widely accessible, reliance on interpersonal connections diminished and reliance upon the media grew. Power transitioned from party leaders and bosses to the candidates – as they were able to take control of their campaign, so long as their actions were worthy enough to make headlines.

This transfer of power once benefitted only the candidates; however, now the power resides with the media: for they decide what suits their audiences, and who America sees. This transfer of power greatly impacts our political processes. When politicians are their own bosses, they are able to disregard societal “norms” and use populist rhetoric to enhance their performance in the political realm.

Title: Headings: LOSS OF THE ASSUMPTIVE WORLD— HOW WE DEAL WITH DEATH AND LOSS* HOW WE DEAL WITH DEATH AND LOSS* JOAN BEDER, DSW INTRODUCTION THE NATURE OF ATTACHMENTS THE ASSUMPTIVE WORLD BACK TO MARK AND RUTH ASSUMPTIVE WORLD VIOLATION HOW TO HELP WITH THE RELEARNING A WORD ABOUT HOPE FINAL WORDS ABOUT MARK AND BARBARA REFERENCES Content: Ensuing depression and bereavement followed both losses but the grief period was extended and complex. In addition to the usual bereavement issues with deaths of this type—sudden and fracturing—each of these two people experienced a violation of their assumptive world. This article will introduce (or perhaps reintroduce) the reader to the concept of the assumptive world as it relates to death, especially traumatic death, and explore ways of working with those who suffer violations in this way. And, it may make each of us examine our assumptive worlds in the process. THE NATURE OF ATTACHMENTS Death, in most instances, is perceived by those who grieve as a shattering experience. The use of the word shattering has particular meaning here, as loss often renders incomprehensible many aspects of life. If we have loved someone, the loss of them is excruciatingly painful; if we lose someone with whom we have had a conflicted relationship, the ensuing loss is complicated by ambivalent feelings; if we lose someone with whom we have had angry feelings and the time to repair them has not be granted, then loss can mean relief and guilt. Loss is a part of life and living as is connection and caring.

Loss is a part of life and living as is connection and caring. When death occurs, there is usually a complex package of feelings and emotions for the survivor(s). There are many theorists who have described why there is such pain when there is a death. The work of John Bowlby (1980) stands out as seminal in understanding the nature of attachment and loss. Bowlby is the chief architect of attachment theory. His formulation is based on work with children struggling with maternal loss and subsequent psychopathology and delinquency (Shaver & Tancredy, 2001).

When these efforts fail, the bereaved individual experiences profound sorrow and despair. In time, the bereaved individual reorganizes his or her representations of the world in a way that allows him or her to return to normal activities and seek out or renew social relationships (Farley & Shaver, 1999). Attachment theory implies that the loss of an attachment figure will be an important and deeply troubling event, especially if there are levels of emotional dependency involved. Interestingly, adults also show the need for attachment, especially when they are under stress and are disposed to cling to one another (Kastenbaum, 2001; Shaver & Tancredy, 2001). Attachment behavior leads to the development of affectional bonds (attachments) at first between child and parent and later between adult and adult. The attachment behavior is instinctive and it creates a bond which endures. When the attachment bond is endangered by threat of loss, powerful reactions are noted (Bowlby, 1980; Raphael, 1983).

There was a clear gap between the wealthy and the poor, which made itself visible in almost all aspects of life, but there were certain areas where class was unimportant. Family Life The family lives of people were separated by two distinctions: roles for men versus roles for women, and social class. In general, men were the breadwinners, providing income for the family, whereas the mothers were in charge of the household. This role grew more prominent with more wealth, as with that came more estate to manage. Marriage was also very closely tied to social class; women were seldom married into lower social rungs. It also came with heavy social implications for the family’s legacy and reputation among their peers. Role of Women and Men Women had to take on various roles in the household during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Role of Women and Men Women had to take on various roles in the household during the 17th and 18th centuries. They were responsible for running the household, and for more affluent families, managing the servants. Women, or mothers, were also responsible for raising and educating their children. In addition, they were responsible for cooking and feeding the family. This required women to be well-educated in medicinal and culinary uses of herbs and plants, needlework, reading, and writing. In general, women had very few rights and experienced oppression at the hands of the patriarchy.
