1912

Chris Hubbard Human Relations CP Mr. Kelly 5 January 2015 Buzzkill What if, one day the media and entertainment that people indulge in was suddenly taken over by the government and they replace it with what they deem as appropriate? Ever since the 20th century TV, internet and music have been filtered by the FCC to block out inappropriate words, pictures and actions. Censorship usually tends to cause problems when it tries to silence voices, and images. In the United States some of our…

The Progressive era was a time of economic growth caused by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and immigration. This resulted in many social and political problems that individuals in American society wanted to make known. These individuals rose mainly from the middle class and were called Progressives. The term “Progressive” arose around 1910. It described a political movement that sought to cure America’s social and political problems and change the relationship between government and…

17 contains a more dramatic texture than other pieces that were composed before 1912. The author at first entitled the piece “Sarcastic pieces, but later took the advice from Nurok and Nuvel: It was they who conceived the title, feeling that the composer’s original title, Sarcastic Pieces, sounded too banal.” On the other hand, Asfyev’s…

founder Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low, whose one belief was in the power of every girl. She put together the first Girl Scout troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, and we've truly made her vision a reality. Juliette Gordon Low pictured a place that would prepare girls to understand their world by using the three c’s; courage, confidence, and character. In 1912, during the Progressive Era (and at a time when women in the United States couldn’t yet vote) this nearly deaf 51-year-old created…

I had the enchanted honor of knowing, respecting, and admiring one of the greatest role models that life has to offer. That role model is my grandfather, Ben Jordan Sr., born before World War I in the year of 1912, which ironically was his house number (1912 Bell Street). He was a lean man that touted a medium build with strong arms. His smooth, dark brown skin was a complement to his stature. He wore a crown of gray, salt and peppered-hair but most kept it bald. He was partially blind from…

Vision is an important sense, and is even more vital for artists who rely on it for their livelihood. One such artist that suffered from visual impairments was Claude Monet. In 1912, he was diagnosed with bilateral cataracts (Marmor & Ravin 1997, p. 170). Cataracts cloud several aspects of vision like form and color, and can affect the development of artistic style (Goldstein 2007, p. 553). To test such a link with the scientific method would require an experiment within groups of participating…

He was the first president to get reelected after gaining the White House due to the death of his predecessor. He was president from 1901- 1909 as a member of the Republican Party. He ran again in 1912, but he lost to Woodrow Wilson. He ran as a “Bull Moose” party candidate. During his presidency, Theodore set aside over 200 million acres of land for national forests, national parks, reserves and wildlife refuges. He brought order to the Dominican…

newest White Star Line ship, appearing to outrank all of the other vessels at sea, was about to make its first voyage across the Atlantic. Looking for a fresh start in New York City, three classes of passengers boarded the RMS Titanic on April 10, 1912 in Southampton, England. They were confident this was the safest ship at sea. The Titanic was advertised as unsinkable with its many features made for it to outshine its main competitors. What the passengers did not know was that they were about…

“unsinkable” RMS Titanic and everything we know about it today have been valuable in sea travel, especially in lifeboats, radio control, and ice patrol. Organizational pattern: topical Introduction Attention Getter: It is the morning of April 15, 1912, 28 degrees fahrenheit, and you are just feet away from going down into the freezing waters of the Atlantic ocean. Imagine that. Yes, we can imagine that, but can we really IMAGINE that. I don’t…
