The Sung Dynasty started in 960 and ended in 1279. It consisted of the Northern Sung, which lasted from 960 to 1127, and Southern Sung which lasted from 1127 to 1279. The economy they had was prosperous and was considered another period of ‘golden age’ after the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Northern Sung was founded by Zhou Kuangyin, who was a military general in the Latter Zhou. In 960, he launched a mutiny Chenqiao county (in current Henan Province). It wasn’t long after that the last king of the…

A recurrent theme in ancient artifacts is animal symbolism. Both the Kunz Axe and the Tlingit Armor feature animal symbolism and rare materials (jade and Chinese coins, for example). This helps one determine what was valued in the culture, which animals one would want to borrow strength from, which objects one would use to show rank. Despite these artifacts coming from different cultures (the Olmec and Tlingit Indian cultures respectively), these pieces share many similarities in concept and…

What do we know? Philosophers, for many years, have try to define what "knowledge" is or how can someone be sure to know something. After many discussions, they have come up with a concept where in order for someone to know something, three components must be present at all times, but also have enough support when standing individually. This theory is known as the JTB Theory or Justified True Belief Theory. This concept has been challenged by Edmund Gettier's paper in 1963: ''Is Justified True…

means of justifying the events that have happened to them causing them to arrive at their current situation. The most commonly viewed use of luck is a coin toss, usually used to determine the outcome of a yes or no question. While the coin is in the air the outcome is undetermined, we gain optimism that the result will be in our favor. Once the coin has landed, we make a judgement based on the results. Yay! - Luck was in my favor; No! - Such bad luck. Does a homeless person believe that if his…

good. They put the .44 caliber right between his eyes.” replied Rattlesnake. “Yep, point blank. They left a gold dollar coin on his chest, too. It had to be Ricky Schroder and his gang. There’s a million dollar reward for his capture, too. Dead or alive.” “Come on Steve; let’s head over to the bar to see if there were any witnesses to this here crime scene.

government continually produces coins in America for coin circulation in the economy, aiding with transactions. Coins are still important in cash transactions today, even though society prominently uses digital currency. Coins like quarters, dimes, and nickels can be useful for parking meters, vending machines, laundromats, cash transactions, and many other things. If a coin had no useful purpose, one would assume it would not be produced; however, the penny, a coin with little to no purpose, is…

actually worth. Amy Livingston states, “...Coins are reusable. In theory, pennies could be used in hundreds, thousands, or even millions of transactions before it drops out of circulation. However, this only works if the coins actually do circulate- and pennies...often don’t.... As a result, the Mint just has to keep making pennies at a cost.

action for hundreds of years now. Adding new bills and coins up until now. Many of these cost lots of money to produce, however, are a popular bill or coin so they are needed. The penny or the 1 cent piece has become a financial problem to produce and distribute. I am against the continued production of pennies because It cost twice as much as its worth to produce, they waste a lot of time being counted, and carrying around these heavy coins isn't worth it since they are worth almost nothing.…
