motion pictures, etc., citizens of the USSR who’ve been “isolated from Western culture since the 1930s” were able to get a fresh of breath air, as far as music is concerned (Richmond); there were numerous concerts right off the bat, ranging from the Ney York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, to artists like Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, and Benny Goodman, who had a successful 32-concert-tour himself in the Soviet…

For a long time, older generations have liked to moan and bemoan about the younger generation. It has happened since at least the 1920s, when the new woman emerged and rejected the traditions of the Victorian era. Though this has almost become a “rite of passage” as said by Aaron Kaufman in “an Open Letter from a Millennial to Society,” it has made Millennials the “butt” of many mean jokes, and they have had to face many insults about how they are “the dumbest, laziest, most entitled,…

A toxic gas used during WWI as a weapon. Nazi doctors had exposed 52 prisoners in the concentration-camp at Fort Ney close to Strasbourg, France to the phosgene gas. Phosgene would cause very intense irritation to the lungs. And with having prisoners who were already malnourished and weak this would kill them. It didn’t help that they got pulmonary edema after exposure…

Battle of Borodino Introduction The battle of Borodino was fought on the 7th of September 1812 near the western side of Moscow.

such as super bowl tickets, golf trips, and fancy dinners. All in return for political favors. The indictment of Jack Abramoff led to not only his personal demise but also the conviction of twenty one others including Republican Representative Bob Ney. (Best, Ladewig, Wong,2013) This overly popularized scandal has led to an out pour of disgust with the political system. Abramoff is one example of a bad man doing a criminal act, his indisputably inappropriate actions should not tarnish the…

I asked my maternal grandparents Ronnie Miles and Yvonne Miles about their experiences and what they thought about the changing times and how they reacted to major events in the past. M=Yvonne Miles ("Mimi") P=Ronnie Miles ("Papaw") Do you know anything about the Great Depression time period? M) “Mother talked about it. The food was rationed. You had to stand in bread lines, gas lines. How mad it was. People out of work. Couldn’t find work. It affected rich and poor. Some of the rich lost…

So our POW count during these wars was low on that front but the sad thing that we do have is that we have POW’s of another type. We have military Heroes that have returned home and have no real way to release the horror stories and feelings that keep them locked up inside. This not only makes them a POW but their family, friends and loved ones. Who all too often suffer as a result from POW syndrome today. This is where the Modern Day POW comes from, as referred in the title of this chapter,…

1. Four main issues I presented in this video are race, sex, socio-economic status, and culture. The video appeared to have an overall framework of African American men, stereotyped into a single group of limited income, inept, as well as suffering from mental illnesses. I believe that it portrayed the worldview of most of white America in an accurate way. According to our textbook, worldview is defined as, “our psychological orientation in life and can determine how we think, behave, make…
