Women’s Rights Progression From the 18th Century to Current Time For as long as time immemorial, women have sought freedom from being regarded as second-class citizens as their male counterparts – namely, their husbands. In home and family life, women were expected to restrict their interests to the household and family matters, while the rest of the matters were handled by the husband. Women were not even able to own property, earn wages, sign a contract, or vote in politics. In more recent…

In 1523 Giovanni da Verrazzano set sail on a quest to explore the West on behalf of France. The voyage was plagued with various issues as he searched for a passage to the Pacific Ocean and Asia. As Verrazzano sailed up the East coast of the Americas to finally rest at what today is known as Newport, Rhode Island he observed many signs of Native American’s inhabiting the coastline (Staff, 2012). Around the time Verrazzano was traveling up the East coast Native American populations were…

Chad Lavin approaches “Eating Anxiety: The Perils of Food Politics” from an ontopolitical perspective in an attempt to analyze the relationship between food, personal identity, global inequality, and cultural authenticity (Lavin ix). He uses a fusion of politics, philosophy, and the politics of being a political self, to discuss these. His main question lies in how food functions culturally, politically, and metaphorically to structure individual understandings of the world and autonomy. He…

Globalization has been one of the major central theme in world History. Though there isn’t a specific definition for globalization, many school of thoughts have different ways of explaining the considerable points of what it means to be globalized. However, in the third edition of his book “the world and a very small place in Africa”, Donald R Wright presents much broader scale leading to globalization of the world by reflecting on the past shaping the present, perhaps through intercultural…

Have you ever seen that commercial where a dog is locked up in a kennel and looks up at the camera with sorrowful eyes, whilst sad music or songs play in the background? This is to raise awareness about animal shelters that try to save animals by taking them off the streets. However, what you may not know is that not all of these animals are only picked up off the road. Animals have also been taken from caretakers that either neglect or abuse them. This means that these animals have suffered…

21st century is known to be the start of new beginnings. It was that generation where machineries evolve the economics and social life of the human beings: from traveling to one place to another, a click of a button for communication, and to sending news to the residents of the world. But, as the year progress the mortals abused the capability of these machines. One of the problems is how they report news and how they edit stuff to create news and spread rumors. Can news reporters be fully…

Ever since the first American colonies in 1607, society has long instructed women their place in a developing civilization. Despite the significant changes in America during the 15th century to early 16th century, women rarely deviated from their role in “true womanhood” . In general, women knew their place can never go beyond the boundary of domesticity or motherhood and venturing towards unconformity was frowned upon. However, in the late 16th century, as all of America was mobilized by…

In Jonathan Daly’s book, Revolutionary Civilization: Explaining Western Power in the Modern World, the author argues that European political fragmentation created hothouse conditions for innovation and almost constant warfare. Professor Daly’s argument is accurate for many reasons. The decentralized government of Europe had led to innovation and constant warfare which developed into “the world’s first arms race – one that never ended (Daly 94)”. I firmly believe that the political fragmentation…

The material that made up this story was charred, meaning it burned in the fire. A coin of Antoninus Pius was discovered in the rubble, and can also help give this stratum a date, as well as Stratum 500 an end date that is the mid 2nd century because Pius ruled from 138-161. The start and end date for this layer is the same because it did not take long for the story to collapse and…

Summary of the Paper “Intergenerational Occupational Mobility in Great Britain and the United States Since 1850” by Jason Long and Joseph Ferrie, attempts to answer the question whether the authors can identify, for Britain and the US, historical differences in mobility, particularly intergenerational occupational mobility. In addition, the authors check for sufficiently large differences that explain the differences in labor radicalism between Britain and the US. The authors give a more in…
