Some tried to put symbols to non-living things and even on natural occurrences, while many turned to religion to explain the meaning of life and the mystery behind the creation story. However, there were a few who deviated from this unyielding faith in religious preaching and sought to answer the world’s many mysteries through their own studies. In Europe, this desire to solve these mysteries escalated into a conflict between religion and science that resulted to the advent of the ...

Introduction

During the American Revolution, many women took active part in both the American and British armies. Apart from direct participation, many women also contributed to the revolution indirectly. In the 18th century America, women’s role in the society was limited to the boundary of home as child bearer and home maker. Politics, military activities and even social activities were almost 100% an all-male affair (Brooks 2013). Therefore, it was not easy for women in that era to directly participate in the American Revolution. Still, thousands of women participated. The American Revolution started when England put in place ...

The second period of the Cultural Revolution lasted from 1968 to 1976 and established a new order through the negotiations and the use of force, as well as controlling the rebel groups.

More so, the earliest forms of steam engines produced by the engineer, Thomas Savery and even the subsequent development of the first practical steam engine by the English inventor, Thomas ...

One example of the cognitive dissonance was the French Revolution. People of France thought they are being oppressed by the monarchs in the region, and in particular the Queen. As a result of this, violent protests started throughout France. The monarchs tried to curb the revolution by arresting the rebels, and by using fear tactics to make sure that this revolution does not spread. However, the revolution did spread under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the French Emperors were executed by the violent Mob. This is an example of Cognitive Dissonance because the authority in the form of Napoleon ...

In his work, he believes that ancient hunters and gatherers were better off than the contemporary lifestyles. These pessimistic views overlooks most of the problems that agriculture has solved and seek ...

Introduction

The Effects of Scientific Revolution on Religion has been a very critical topic in such fields as history, philosophy and other social sciences. The scientific revolution, arguably one of the most important developments in human history is a movement that substantially shook the foundations of religion (Wolfe & Wolfe, 2011). The primary purpose of this topic, is to narrow down the broad topic of the effects of scientific revolution in such a manner that such effects are viewed from the perspective of the medieval religious structures, and not from the eye of the entire humanity. I chose to discuss this topic because it ...

Abstract

In our increasingly dependent age, older technologies are slowly but surely being phased out. We stand to forget their use, their evolution as well as their contribution to our own evolution as mankind. One such technology is the printing press. To move forward, we must pause to reflect on the past, appreciate it and ultimately learn from it. The printing press has evolved from a simple, rudimentary letter press in China to the revolutionary Gutenberg’s press that made the Bible the most published book of that time to the modern technology of offset lithography. It has played a fundamental role ...

It was not until 1945 that the two super powers found themselves with enormous power and intense rivalry that might have appealed to third ...

Otto von Bismarck's Political Prowess

Otto von Bismarck's Political Prowess

Introduction

The political philosophy, that Otto von Bismarck practiced, is often being referred to his political career without actually stating the question of whether or not the political pragmatism, that he clearly used, was an evolution of his views or whether it had always been present in his mind, even during his earliest political activities. This historical figure played a significant role in world politics, and no other person in the history of modern Europe, with an exception of Napoleon, has ever attracted as much interest and attention, partially due to the magnetic appeal of ...

Once ...

The French Revolution, indeed, changed the structure of economics and social ...

Introduction

The organized labor movement, which is currently a powerful body advocating for the rights of workers, began in the early nineteenth century. Prior to the movement, workers used to suffer silently in the hands of their employees. As it were, the employees, relying on their employers for virtually all basic human needs, could not afford to protest. However, a myriad of events led to the awakening of the workers. The employees started uniting against their oppressive employers who, incidentally, had the support of the political authorities of the day. Despite various hurdles, including suppression by the manufacturers and the political authorities, ...

The labor unions were viewed to be politically influenced. It was believed that the revolution would transform the church, home, marriage, courteousness, and the American manner of Life. ...

The U.S. comprises different people from different ethnic backgrounds. During the early years of the 17th century many European governments had official state religions. This resulted into trial of other sects who fled religious cruelty and civil wars. It was not all the European immigrants went to the colonies as free and independent. When settlements and plantations developed, there was a huge demand for manual labor. The poor people therefore became part of the colonial labor might in return for their passage across the Atlantic Ocean. With the Agricultural revolution more plantations were developed leading to labor shortages. The ...

Thomas Ertman identified four types of territorial states in early modern Europe, all of which faced significant strains, challenges from below and demands for change that finally culminated in the French Revolution of 1789. Even Britain, which had already experienced two revolutions in the 17th Century that overthrow the absolutist monarchy and established the principle of parliamentary supremacy, underwent significant strains and conflicts at that time, with demands for greater democracy in political and economic life. Britain’s bureaucratic constitutionalism, which had replaced the absolute Tudor and Stuart monarchies, managed to weather the storm more or less intact (Ertman ...

Introduction

“Animal Farm” was written by George Orwell. It is a satire and political literature. The original title of the novel is “Animal Farm: A Fairy Story” that proves it as a fable written with a purpose.

They wanted to rebel and save themselves from the clutches of men and set new ...

Industrial Revolution

Thesis: Industrial revolution has shaped the world history by causing a changeover in technologic, political and social effects. Initial accumulation of capital and the formation of manufacturing industry represented the initial stage of the development of capitalist relations.

The industrial revolution is a fundamental qualitative restructuring of the material ...

The Egypt revolution was considered the greatest success of the country as it paved way for more employment opportunities among the youth. This was meant to solve the unequal representation of the youth in key positions of national building. The youth form the highest population of the world and it is only fair if they are given the opportunity to express themselves and participate in national building. Before the revolution, the case of Egypt was different. There was unequal representation of the youth in the government as most of them remained unemployed. Most of the people in Hosni’s ...

Abstract

Wars, revolutions, and conflict have done its share in influencing and removing European monarchies in power for the past centuries. Many have risked their lives in hopes of a better Europe, while some instigated rebellions to seize the throne they lusted to claim as their own. In France, the Reign of Terror became a symbol of fear upon its onset in the dawn of the French Revolution as countless conflicts between rival political parties and mass execution of rebels painted the streets of Paris in red. With the goal to purge France of those who wish to rebel against the throne ...

Comparison of the Battles of Bunker Hill, Ft. Moultrie, Saratoga, and Yorktown

There are a lot of battles that took place in the American Revolution. While some of these battles were indeed significant for the whole American Revolution, some of the battles significance was being questioned up until this point. The battle at Bunker Hill was significant so far, thanks to Sir Thomas Gage (A British war commander) over his enemy who was Colonel William Prescott (MiddleKauff, 1985). This was a battle won by the British and not the Americans. The battle at Fort Moultrie on the other hand was a battle wherein William Moultrie, defended the said fort, which was later named ...

Slavery had long been an established institution in the American colonies prior to the advent of the Revolutionary War, and yet a degree of ambiguousness marked the attitude of white colonists to blacks and to the institution of slavery in late-18th century America. Thomas Jefferson, generally considered the leading intellectual light of the incipient republic, could call into question the practice of slavery while at the same time lending it his tacit approval as the owner of hundreds of black servants. Indeed, as the Continental Congress and its undermanned military forces faced the world’s greatest military power, expediency rather ...

Research on the Speed of Technological Development

The Speed of Technological Development The span of technology from the Neolithic Revolution to the present is a process moving from simple to complex tools. Successive tool inventions have been fostered by previous ones, and in turn, social changes/revolutions have ensued. Of these, the threshold revolution was the Agricultural one: the divide between hunter-gatherer society and our post-industrial one. These advancements in technology can be recognized by the technological progress involved in this process. Clay-baked cuneiform tablets (the invention of letters) become the basis for the handwritten scrolls (and books) and the latter for machine-printed books and these in turn ...
