towards the Town’s backup responders as “The Battlement”, the Boston EMS Communication Operations Center receives and prioritizes all incoming alternative homoeopathic calls, dispatches emergency parts, directs with other community protection activities and local hospitals, and maintains communication with all units in the field. Dispatch Operations is co-located with the Boston Police. Furthermost, 9-1-1 calls are originally received by Boston Police or Massachusetts State Police call takers.…

In 1636, the town of Providence was founded by Roger Williams, a firm believer in separation of church and state. Rhode Island became a welcoming place for all who fled from religious persecution (Tindall, 47). In contrast to Roger Williams, John Winthrop found the persecution of Catholics, Anglicans, Quakers, Baptists and many others justifiable since he was enforcing the “true religion” (45). Although there was disagreement on separation of church and state, the inferiority of women was widely…

1588 and died in Boston on March 26, 1649. Winthrop began his law studies at Cambridge, which he abandoned before obtaining a bachelor's degree. Married in 1605. Later he graduated in law and began to practice as judge of peace in 1609. Along with a group of leading English Puritans, Winthrop founded the Massachusetts Bay Company and, once obtained the privilege of Carlos I to colonize the New world, the company emigrated completely to America in 1630, where they founded Boston, city of which…

If I were to start a colony, I would need to make many strategic decisions in order for the colony to succeed and thrive. I would need to choose who to bring, what to bring, how the colony should be governed, where it should be located, and how to get it to expand and flourish. Every action will impact the colony, so every choice made will need a strong reason behind it. The first decision I would have to make when starting colony is to choose what kind of people I should bring that will…

Adrenaline rushed through my tensed body as though I inched toward the edge of a cliff ready to jump off. Governor Hutchinson just rejected our plea to send the Dartmouth back to England, and everyone in Boston couldn’t take much more of England’s petty games of taxation and their seemingly unlimited power over the colonies. Once the governor’s answer came to everyone at the Old South Meetinghouse, I think we all felt something needed to be done to send a message to England that we had enough…

I would love to attend Archbishop Mitty High School because of all the wonderful things I experienced during 7th day, shadowing, and open house. From the start, I knew that Mitty was the school right for me. I have always felt very comfortable walking on campus because I know so many people, and I know how every staff member is so friendly and full of hospitality. On seventh grade day, I got to look around the school, try the lunches, and was told lots about Mitty by the wonderful and caring…

Individualism, and the problems associated with it, are a significant part of John Winthrop’s Model of Christian Charity. When the Puritans immigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the early 1630s, they were faced with very serious issues regarding community formation. Creating a new colony in a part of the world dominated by wilderness is a monumental undertaking, and can only be done by those who all share the same agenda. Otherwise, a group of varying ideologies may devolve into factions…

instructors are considered the majority of US faculty today. However, unlike Tenured/Tenured Track Faculty (T/TTF), NNTFs serve in unreliable, unsupported positions with little employment stability and assurances for academic freedom (American Academy of University Professors [AAUP], n.d). Nationwide, 70% of faculty members in higher education are employed off the tenure-track (Reevy & Deason, 2014). The NTT Faculty ranks vary, with the majority remaining in the instructor or lecturer category…

However, the border areas of Massachusetts were subject to numerous raids by the Native Americans living in the area before the English came over, and it was no different for the town of Lancaster. Rowlandson’s husband had been off to request aid from Boston, the largest city in the colony, to help defend against the Native Americans when, ironic as it is, Lancaster was attacked by a Native American force. Rowlandson herself was captured, and she…

world’s strongest navy at the time. The colonists were able to defeat the British for three reasons: their will to fight, the timing and situation, and foreign aid. The sparks for conflict began in Boston Massachusetts. Before Britain had royal governors in the colonies, the first settlers in Boston created the Mayflower Compact. This document planted the seeds for a self-ruling government, which is America’s political system today. Soon after King George assigned governors to the colonies,…
