abolition of the second chamber. Legislatures in countries such as Norway, Sweden and New Zealand are unicameral and therefore only have one chamber. This option would not only save money but it would also enable scrutiny to be carried out in different ways for example through a strengthened committee system. However, not only do numerous people debate against the loss of a British political tradition, many also claim that the House of Commons would in fact gain too much power without a second…

This is when the idea of the “Second Shift” was born as professor Nguyen mentioned in class. The idea that women were now expected to be a mother, work a full time job, and then come home to all of the household duties a mother “should” preform for her husband and children and fulfill her “Second Shift.” To me although this is infuriating, I think this is still very persistent in society today. Many women both…

Introduction The Second Temple period is a remarkable time in history. To gain a full understanding of the New Testament, one must thoroughly explore the political and religious background of this time period. Prior to the Second Temple period, the Hebrews were in captivity under Babylonian rule. This captivity dispersed the Hebrews among many locations with major effects upon the people, including social, cultural, and religious. Although the majority of the Hebrews would never return to…

The First and Second American Crisis The first American crisis started after the Articles of Confederation were issued. These articles shaped the constitution of the United States at that time and limited the power of the central government over the country. Individual state government had more power than the central government. This limited power that the central government had at that time prevented it from passing several laws including the taxation laws. The issue of limited power exposed…

Through Simone DeBeauvoir’s The Second Sex and Dorothy Smith’s The Everyday World as Problematic, both of these writings integrate the roles and expectations of women in situations of their development, sexual intercourse and the exclusion of women from the dominant culture of men. In the development of American society and its capitalistic economy, the function and success of the American economy partially depended on the collective notion that women were inherently inferior. For women, this…

What was it like working toward meeting your second benchmark? My initial plans for my second benchmark was to have a first draft completed of my fake news library resource page. Working towards this benchmark was challenging because I had been trying to get in touch with a UCSB librarian before I began writing my first draft. In order to make sure I was heading in the right direction, and to get some positive feedback on my project proposal. I was able to get in touch with the Writing…

the American experiment, it was enhanced by political freedom and by the raise of nationalism. From this experiment then American culture rose, and among these things came religion. Religion made a comeback to people’s lives and it is known as the Second Great Awakening. God was no longer viewed as a vengeful person, but rather as a benevolent being. The Earth is no longer viewed as a pitstop for the already decided heaven or hell, but rather a place that is full of its own…

reader, as Nick Hall. This would make this novel told in second person perspective. “The next morning you throw the covers off, lace your cleats, grab your burgundy and blue headband that matches your Barcelona jersey (which you slept in) , throw your clothes in the hamper like he asked you to do two days ago and tiptoe down the stairs.” This texted evidence proves my claim because it shows Nick getting ready for the day but the author uses second person perspective words such as “you” and…

the patricians refuse. This results in ten years of discontent and struggle, which finally ends in a compromise. Ten patricians would be elected as decemvirs and would write down the law for all to see. The first decemvirate did its job well but the second decemvirate went rogue. Motivated by their abhorrence of the Plebeians, they became oppressive rulers. They claimed power of life over death and refuse to step down after their term is finished. To top it all off, their leader, Appius…

The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions Reflecting a reembracing of spirituality, perhaps in reaction to the rationalism of Enlightenment thought, the Second Great Awakening describes a period in American history from the late 1700s to just before the Civil War when zeal for Protestant religious participation, church membership, and Bible study increased rapidly (Schwarz, 2005, p. 91). Along with this revival of personal piety grew a strong “evangelistic” desire to go…
