The 1940’s are most known as the greatest generation, for having discover and developed some of the best inventions of the world, that today most people can't live without it.

Peter Goldmark, a staff of RCA Laboratories, started developing modern color tv, after seeing the designs of John Logre Baird in 1928. However, black and white television at that time were sold to the public 10.5 million times compared to the color…

“Symbolism exists to adorn and enrich, not to create an artificial sense of profundity,” was once said by Stephen King. Symbolism is very effective as it allows writers to add many layers of meaning to their work, by making their characters and themes more universal, and by sparking the reader's interest. In his literary work, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, Ishmael Beah uses symbols to underscore his central theme of oppression and/or freedom. First of all, he uses dreams to show the…

Peter the Great’s inspiration from successful western education and ideas helped him to create a period of progress and prosperity for Russia. First of all, according to the account of John Perry, before the time of Peter the Great, the country of Russia was sheltered and only familiar with their own language and culture. They were “void of learning” (doc 8) and did not make an attempt to aid their own ignorance. He also describes the Russian people as “wary and cautious to keep out all means…

Discrimination has been an ongoing struggle as far back as history can recall, and it is unfortunate that it is still an issue today. We have made tremendous progress for women, African Americans, and other minorities, but we are still in the midst of full rights for the LGBT community.

It is…
