Atomic Age

Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the most prominent architects in the twentieth century, was very influential in the field of stained glass windows. He designed over 160 buildings containing many stained glass windows, of which almost 100 were built, which amounts to around 4,000 windows in total. Many of Wright’s houses had many windows, including the Dana and Martin houses with around 200, and the Little house with around 300. Wright also developed new styles of stained glass windows, including…

elderly want to accomplish in life. These people are always labelled as senile, incompetent and useless and these stereotypes are common at every level: in the family, in the community, in the workplace and more broadly in society. Discrimination in old age needs to be better understood and to be recognised and universally looked down on. We need to respect that these are the people that raised our generation and that it is unjust that we choose to treat them un-rightfully. Meals on Wheels-…

the impression that the statues are ostentatiously showing their nudity. This is a complete opposite to the other individuals in the painting as they are all wearing clothes. The demonization of those religious figures was inherited from the Middle Age, where demons were often depicted naked and the traditional iconography of Olympian deities showed them either naked or draped. Thus it was thought that they both had an ability to lure and appeal people in believing in them. It is interesting…

away interaction, and it takes act the activeness in humans. When I was younger there would be a lot of kids playing at the park, playing outside, riding bikes, and interacting with other kids. With technology today they created cell phones and the age of 10 kids nowadays own one. They even have a better one than what I own which was just an old fashion one. And you can only call and for texting you have to press the button three times to get an S. With technology it makes it easier for kids to…

accurate because doctors had no idea what caused people to become sick. Medieval doctors started to realize, after the plague, that hygiene and being clean helped prevent some of the terrible diseases. The Black Death In Europe during the middle ages, there was an awful plague called The Black Death. This disease was believed to kill nearly a third of Europe's whole population. There were no real types of antibiotics so doctors basically could not cure the disease. Doctors figured out how to…

The Black Death, also known as the Bubonic Plague, was one of the worst events that occurred during the Late Middle Ages. With almost half of the population killed by the plague, many wondered where it came from. It first came from the East to Italy by trading routes through sea, which eventually spread the disease throughout Europe. With the plague now spread throughout many places in the West, the Black Death was uniformly experienced in the West. One example was that when the people knew…

Imagine coming across a ship that came into port with sailors either dead or on the verge of death. These men are in immense pain and have black swellings about the size of eggs and apple size swells in the armpits and groin; these swells oozing and dripping with blood and pus. You would have just crossed somebody with the bubonic plague, also known as the Black Death. In Barbara Tuchman’s “This Is the End of the World: The Black Death”, she explains what the bubonic plague is and what effects…

The Black Death Just by being around someone with this disease can be very deadly. It is extremely easy to get. If you are breathing in infected air. . .BOOM! You can get this deadly disease. The majority of the time it takes 10-14 days before the plague has killed off most of a contaminated rat colony. Which made it very difficult for great numbers of fleas gathered on the rest of the living. But after three days of fasting, hungry rats and fleas turn onto humans. A plague is a contagious…

Life During the Middle Ages The knights followed a code of honor during the Middle Ages. They had to be brave, courageous and be loyal to the king. The excerpt Sir Gawain and the Green Knight translated by Burton Raffel conveys chivalry and character during this time in order to show Gawain's integrity. During the Middle Ages there was a code of chivalry for the knights. It was a moral system which went beyond rules of combat and introduced the concept chivalrous conduct. Some qualities were…

Age Of Exploration; Heroic or Heinous? I woke up late that Monday morning, basking in the fact that there was no school. It was early October, and the stress of fourth grade was really getting to me. Christopher Columbus was a man I thought I would be forever grateful for and as far as I was concerned, Columbus was wonderful, exploration was wonderful, and this day off was extra wonderful. But just how thankful should I really have been? Hidden behind the great accomplishments explorers have…
