In the middle of World War I the German economy felt immense pressures and women and the youth became a valuable part of the workforce. After the Germans ‘lost’ the war…
In 2007, Francis Lawrence made a movie version of Richard Matheson’s classic novel I am Legend starring Will Smith. I am Legend follows the story of a man named Robert Neville who is the sole survivor of a deadly virus epidemic in which the virus has affected everyone and turned them into vicious monsters of the night (vampires). Though both the novel and the movie follow the same basic plot each version has their own similarities and differences, which work to their own benefit. Some of the…

Prior to the establishment of the Stuart dynasty, Queen Elizabeth I ruled from 1558 to 1603. Her rule was unique to her time period, as she ruled as a politique, separating the church and state, somewhat, to maintain, control, and grow her governance. Elizabeth utilized Parliament to ensure her hold on church leadership, while tolerating the practice of other religions, effectively subduing religious rebellions and constant changing that were popularizing in rules prior to hers, Edward VI…
but those wars were usually between two major powers. World War I became the first major conflict to involve multiple world powers, which devastated Europe. This was the war to end all wars and many called it the Great War. Many scholars lay blame on one power, one incident, or one individual for causing World War I, but to no real avail. The answer is there is no one person, country, or event to blame for the outbreak of World War I because there are many factors. However, if there is one…

the class, I was not sure what to expect. I had no prior knowledge of robotics and I have little knowledge of programming. If I am being completely honest, I honestly thought this class was going to be lecture based with little to no hands on activities. Needless to say, I was quite surprised when I found out that I was completely wrong. I was not aware before signing up for the class that we were going to receive a robot. Upon that realization, I was fairly intrigued. I was excited that I was…
experiences. I look forward to what second semester has in store for me and even more importantly, my first year at college. My skills have grown in areas of reading, writing, discussion, and mental processing. QUOTATION One of my favorite authors that I learned about in first semester was Queen Elizabeth I. History is my favorite subject so of course I knew about her beforehand; however, I did not know about the things she authored. “The Doubt of Future Foes” is my most loved work by Elizabeth…
concepts.) When I started this course I was very nervous about how I would do in the open class environment that we have. After the first class I went home and strongly debated about dropping this class for one that does not require so much talking. I generally am a person that avoids talking in front of large groups, even answering questions in class makes me nervous. As we have progresses through this semester I have noticed that once I take the first step and start actually talking I get…
Although the assumptions of generals were that World War I would be short, bloody, and decisive, stalemate occurred due to the lack of precedence, technological novelty and the need to contribute an immense amount of time to compensate, innovate, and reorganize for the opposing expectations and realities. Previous wars suggested lessons so diametrically opposed to the reality of World War I that generals had to completely rethink the plans they had created based on their initial speculations of…
