The Great Depression was a period of time lasting from 1929 to 1939 (a ten year span). The event that started it all was the stock market crash in October of 1929. 12.9 million shares were traded on October 12, 1929. The day became known as “Black Thursday.” Five days later 16 million shares were traded, making that day known as “Black Tuesday.” By March of 1930, 3.2 million Americans were unemployed and most had already lost their lifesavings, homes, and their hope. Riots began to break out by…

Historiography Stefan Kühl explores this relationship between German and American eugenicists in his book, The Nazi Connection: Eugenics, American Racism, and German National Socialism. He states, “Attempts to separate eugenics from the Nazi program of race improvement were only partially successful. The personal and ideological links between eugenics and mass sterilization and extermination were too obvious to be overlooked.” Indeed, the two movements were linked, and this relationship…

The gravest economic crisis of the 20th century, which, caused by the stock market crash on Wall Street in the United States on October 24th, 1929, called “Black Thursday”, propagated in the whole universe, the lively in a decade of market recession a massive growth of the unemployment and the poverty, but also by profound social and political shifts. Later the First Word War, the economic system of the United States was booming, and the technology innovation for the home appliances as…

History is the past analyzed and recorded, it is not everything that ever happened or everything that historians have already written about. While the existence of subjectivity in history is not often questioned many philosophers have rejected the possibility of objective historical knowledge. This essay seeks to explain the ways in which history consists of both elements of objectivity and subjectivity. Objectivity refer to the lack of bias. With this being said there is no objective truth…

Let me simply state the central, polemical move in this book. I suggest a new route to the paintings of Delacroix, one that does not start with his Salon début, the Dante and Virgil in Hell (1822), but rather begins with an examination of the 1824 Salon. This context included works by artist who are now obscure – Xavier Sigalon, Leon Cogniet – and it was filled with critical voices of enduring and yet neglected relevance for French painting, such as the novelist Stendhal (Henri Beyle) and…

earlier race before the Negros arrived, the existence of Paleolithic implements known as “mmoatia” (dwarfs) was also far-fetched. Several nations of the Sudan have tradition that the original inhabitants were a race of reddish complexion.8The historiography of the people of the Gold Coast seems to have begun with facts on the background of the Akan people who lived in the forest area. In fair terms to the non-Akan group, one must note that, no single group can lay claim to being the first to…

according to Kohlberg’s model, she is reflective her own morality in so much as it pertains to the expectations of others. The author believes that a challenge to this schema to create disequilibrium would be to present her with a variety of historiographies. An example would be to present her with a traditional historical interpretation and a multicultural interpretation. The clearest, and perhaps most challenging assignment, would be a term paper in which she would be ask to reconcile a…

investigations reach many logical inferences, particularly about magistrates’ leniency in differentiating between willful offenders and poor parents, which may have unintentionally undermined how they judged. He provides evidence with thorough historiography to refute claims that they impeded the Act from making a critical difference in that corruption has been exaggerated, misrepresenting a successful piece of…

been certified by historians. One might disregard that fact in order to analyze the question of what bearing their respective production years would have had on these films, had they not been based on any books, but this would involve a study of historiography in film that would be far beyond the scope of this essay. I believe that the historical accuracy of Twelve Years a Slave should be seen as less suspect even ignoring the source on which its script is based. While any contemporary social…

In 1 Kings 17:1-16, the reader is encountering the prophet Elijah, the Tishbite of Tishbe in Gilead, for the very first time. Ahab’s reign to King took place in 1 Kings 16, in which he is judged for provoking the anger of God more so than all of his predecessors had done. During 1 Kings 17, we see Elijah announcing to Ahab the coming of a drought that will end on his say-so only. The drama ultimately unfolds itself and runs through the end of chapter 18, which concerns itself with the…
