Traumatizing, disruptive, transformative – all of these words can be used to describe the First World War, an event of fateful proportions that swirled the troops of the Allied and Central Powers all across the old continent in an unfortunate search for victory. It was an event that crushed the naïve and proud courage of young men who threw themselves honorably into belligerent waters for the sake of their countries, only to find depressing, muddy trenches instead. The legacy of the Great War lay far away from the pedestal of glorious victories; instead, it succumbed into the pressing reality ...

Most of the poems of Phillis Wheatley and Anne Bradstreet address the themes of religion, slavery, gender and race. In my work, I will pay close attention to the themes of gender and race.

The place of women in the society is undermined, and their roles not clearly defined. On issues of race, the white Englishmen claim to be the masters of ...

Answer 1

According to Stearns, the year 1000 CE can be considered as a marker from which globalization can be traced forward. Though no significant changes took place in the particular year itself, it was followed in the coming years by what can be considered as the history of globalization. Many important events had already took place before the year 1000 CE and these intensified their impact over the next centuries. One of the basis of his arguments is that before 1000CE, the factors which influences the lives of people and the social institutions were isolated and not related to each ...

Thesis Statement
Thomas Jefferson’s Query XIV Laws is quite different from Phyllis Wheatley’s Poems, in that, while both of them targeted slavery and its abolishment, Jefferson’s views are expressed by a person from the outside, while Phyllis’ views are personal. While Jefferson makes comparisons to show that slavery in America was not as bad, Phyllis makes a direct appeal to abolish slavery.

When Europeans arrived in the "New World," they did not find a barren, uninhabited land, but rather large and complex Amerindian societies. The cultural clash that ensued would radically change both Europeans and natives. Although there was widespread collaboration on the part of native Amerindians, such as opportunistic chiefs using Europeans for their own wealth, overall the collision of cultures created more problems for Amerindians than improvements. This is evidenced by the one-sided power relationship where Europeans often exploited Amerindian populations for economic opportunities and a lust for conquest. The contact between Europeans and Amerindians detrimentally transformed native society ...

Photographs capture the current state of the world in terms of culture and philosophy. Photographs are an integral part of mainstream media. They are used to pass on information about the status quo in terms of both political and cultural power.

Photographs are also very important in evaluating the psychology of the person taking the photograph. The media artifact in my discussion is photographs.

Over the years, Catholic Church has undergone several changes, although the most significant being the changes brought by Vatican II. Arguably, Vatican II changes brought forth doctrines that the Catholic Church initially believed and taught its members. Worth noting, the changes brought forth “new Catholic Church”.

One will be wrong to argue that the benefits brought by the Europeans to Africa outweighed the negative effects. (Gilbert, E. & Jonathan, P 345). Furthermore, it was not mutually beneficial to both parties. To begin with, colonialism purely entails the rule of taking over other peoples’ territory without informing them. The land rightfully belongs to the natives but Europeans went a head to capture it and started mistreating the Africans on their own land. The main aims of the Europeans for capturing African land were never positive from the onset. For instance, one of their major aims was to ...

In order to understand where the juvenile justice system is today, we need to look back and understand the history of the juvenile justice system.

During the 1900s, landmark cases changed the course of juvenile justice in the United States. Unfortunately, the present juvenile system is more concerned with punishment than rehabilitation. Reformers are working to change the current juvenile justice system as it is too harsh. First, let us look ...

Identity Conflicts never begin as identity conflicts

Literature Review:
In ‘The Myth of Global Ethnic Conflicts’, John Bowen argues that although conflicts may at face value appear to have been simmering for hundreds of years under the surface, this is not always the case as can be seen in the former Yugoslavia conflicts.
In ‘Ethnic and Nationalist Violence’, Brubaker and Laitin argue along similar lines to Bowen but they also delve into the problem with far greater detail demonstrating that perceptions of violence may not always be what they seem or what they appear. This is further reinforced by the fact that the former Yugoslavia led ...

Traditional narrative often paints Latin America as a defenseless victim of international lust for power. Latin America has habitually been thought of as a poor region full of merry people being always exploited by countless empires or armies of greedy people willing to sack their seemingly endless resources.
