Roger Sperry-(1913-1944), was a psychobiologist he discovered that human beings had two separate minds. By this he was able to detect that different parts of the brain have their own role and specializes in different functions throughout the brain. Sperry studies lead him to prove that the brain works differently on either side and co-dependently work apart from eachother. In other words the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere of the brain are on separate teams each side of the brain works…

Louis Brandeis, First Jewish Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, inspires me on many different levels. He was the nationally known “people’s attorney,” from Boston and was one of the country’s most celebrated progressive reformers. He was also one of Woodrow Wilson’s most influential advisors and political confidants since his campaign for presidency in 1912. Following Wilson’s victory, Brandeis played a major role in helping to shape the President’s “New Freedom,” economic…

The Takarazuka Revue is an all female theatre troupe based out of Japan that is coming close to its 100th year of existence. The company is characterized by its odd mixture of Eastern and Western Productions, it’s extravagantly decadent costumes, and it’s leading ladies — otokoyaku or slim, androgynously handsome, unusually tall, young women who play the male roles. While the Takarazuka Revue supposedly works to subvert gender roles in its performances, unlike its historical Shakespearian…

The Brown Palace opened its doors on August 12, 1892, the area it covers is about 9.5 acres and it lies on 17th St. and Tremont Place in Denver, Co. On May 24, 1911, one of Denver’s most outrageous murders was committed at the Brown Palace Hotel. It began when Sylvester L. “Tony” von Phul arrived in Denver on May 23, 1911.

encephalitis and fatalities. Its classic form is associated with a rat flea and rat cycle, although other ectoparasites and animal species are involved in the circulation of the etiologic agent, Rickettsia typhi. The disease was first described in 1913 in Atlanta, GA, and its distribution was progressively widened. Broad application of pesticides and rodenticides was thought to bring the disease under control for several decades in the USA. Use of molecular approaches to ecological studies and…

and children’s author of all time. Her most well-known work is “The Complete Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie.” May Gibbs’ stories of bush fantasy have captured Australia for over a century. Location May Gibbs settled in Neutral Bay, Sydney in 1913. Soon after, she had a studio on Bridge Street where she did most of her work. In 1924, she purchased some land and built a house upon it called Nutcote. May Gibbs and her husband (James Ossoli Kelly) moved to Nutcote, in 1925. May Gibbs lived…

In his work “Beyond Good and Evil”, Nietzsche argues that the concept of “good” and “evil” are initially designated by those individuals with the political and social power to live their lives by sheer will (master morality abiders) whist the others who lack this force are doomed to be subjected to their power (slave morality abiders) until eventually the latter overthrows their masters. One of the main themes Nietzsche formulates in this work is that ancient Roman society was grounded in master…

human trait is valid because it has helped formed society today. Civil disobedience has been used many times in history and has resulted in social progress. Protests are a beneficial way for differential opinions to be expressed. For example, the 1913 Suffrage Parade composed of 5,000 women voicing their right to equal political participation and as a result, small gains toward women’s suffrage were made. An additional example would be Rosa Parks’ small protest on the Montgomery bus as she…

to provide individuals one nationalization under the protection of legal institutions contributed to the rise nationalism. Although the countries of emigration like Germany opt for nationality laws based upon jus sanguinis (German nationality law of 1913), countries of immigration like the United States and France developed political citizenship based upon jus soli. In the old continent, migration and international relations are shaken by the outbreak of World War I. The war in Europe stopped…

The Australian feature film industry had many hurdles in the 20th century, with World War 1 and 2, the great depression and the increase in production costs because of the sound era.

Many other film were released until 1911 when the output of film decreased. World War 2 brought the film industry in…
