military transport equipment and parts, clothing, food, ammunition and explosives to the United States. Canadian unemployment dropped to 3.9 percent – a record low – and GDP rose by 6% annually during the war (Victor, 2011). Also, the infamous “Agent Orange”, a defoliant whose purpose was to destroy forested land in order to rob the Communists of food sources and cover, was tested at Canadian Bases in New Brunswick (Canadian Press, 2007). American pilots also practiced bombing and spraying runs…

England, it was common practice for criminals to be pardoned in exchange for military service. Often, these criminals were quartered in houses without the owner’s consent. This was banned in 1689 by the signing of the Bill of Rights by William of Orange (Fitzgerald 12). The creators of the Bill of Rights shared these sentiments. Fresh out of the Revolutionary War, the Third Amendment…

After World War II, American lives will change due to the middle class unexpectedly expanding due to suburbanization, unemployment rates were decreasing, and the United States will become the most powerful country in the world due to the technological creation of the nuclear bomb which won’t last very long because the Soviet Union will test their nuclear weapon in 1949. The 1950’s deserves its reputation as an age of political, social, and cultural conformity to a great extent due to Eisenhower…

California is in the top five for prison incarceration per capita and second in most prisoners with 218,00 as of the latest survey (Texas being number one at 221,000). With such a large number of people in the institution, it was only clear to state leaders to form programs to not only help those post-criminally, but programs the could prevent said crimes from happening in the first place to improve the quality of life in a community. I have chosen a program that is not only used in my area but…

our student-teaching days? When I was a student, technology was not a part of socialization. We did not have any sort of social technology. Technology was what would now be considered primitive. Calculators, electric typewriters, and computers with orange or green font were state of the art. I only used those tools to produce products that were shared with my teachers. My first high school computer class in 1989 had students writing basic codes to have the computer perform some basic task. When…

race, there is little hope for the other races. Not only is Tom a violent bigot, but he is also a hypocrite. He flaunts his, “woman,” to what seems like all of New York, yet rants about how people have started, “sneering at family life and family institutions.”…

A Ride Through American Society America’s society has developed and shaped itself into a diverse country in terms of race and social class. My bus trip in my hometown of Pasadena, CA proved to be no different as I rode through a variety of areas, such as wealthy, middle-class, and low-income neighborhoods. My bus ride through Pasadena and parts of Altadena has taught me several things about modern American society. One of the biggest and most noticeable things was how much religion has…

et Ève (study). The poet’s very words used for Chagall’s work, “supernatural” and “surreal”, were later used to name the Surrealism Movement. Before coming to Paris, Chagall was taught by the set and costume designer, Leon Bakst. The use of bold oranges, pinks, and aquamarines for the plays that were set to Stravinsky released Chagall free from his domineering classical training. His counter lessons in chromatic harmonies, simplified form and liberated brushwork are evident here. Bakst’s…

suited his needs. Augustine, in comparison, was similar in that he also held contempt for slavery as an institution. In spite of his contempt, he kept slaves; this makes he and Shelby very similar, in that although they morally disapproved of slavery they kept slaves. They also turned the other way upon seeing mistreatment of slaves, especially the case of Augustine and Marie. To compare apples to oranges, Legree was never concerned with comfort of his owned people. He abused them; he was…
