Its beginning can be traced to the Lebanese Civil War between 1975 and ...

Introduction

Throughout is history, the American society has exhibited an unrivalled sense of national identity. Being an American citizen has over the centuries since its independence was seen as the most significant facet of an individual living within US borders. As such, US citizens who are residents in other countries also take much pride in the numerous benefits accruing to them, by reason of their American citizenship. As Bradburn provides, the boundaries defining real aspects of what entails an American citizen have since been blurry and undefinable since independence (1094). The main cause for such an outcome was the fact ...

The Gilded Age, the period in American History directly following the Civil War was a departure from other earlier periods in the young country’s history.

PART 1: ART AND ARCHITECTURE THEME REFLECTION

Part 1: Thinking Through Theme and Image

The theme chosen for discussion within this particular project is the theme of duality and conflict as a result of duality. This is a common theme throughout arts and literature; it can be seen in a grand sense in the Bible, with the duality of the divine, as well as in classical literature like Frankenstein. It is also present in many famous works of art, including works of art like Picasso’s Guernica. Duality and conflict—and associated themes of war and strife—are common themes because they are universal in many ...

The Cotton Gin

The cotton gin was an invention that contributed largely to American history. 1793 was the year when Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, the machine designed to remove the seeds from the cotton plant after it was harvested. The cotton gin was a very simple invention which did not require much effort on the part of the human workforce because the machine did all of the work. The agricultural South in America consisted mainly of farmers and slaves who worked in the cotton fields and were responsible for the harvest and production of cotton. Farmers knew that the cotton ...

As long as the Revolution of 1776 – 1783 established the United States, the Civil War 1861 – 1865 determined the kind of nation they are going to be. The war gave resolutions to two cardinal questions that remained unresolved by the Revolution: whether the United States are going to be a confederation of sovereign states or an impartible nation with a sovereign federal government, and whether it will remain in being the largest slave-owner nation in the world nevertheless it is born of a declaration which proclaims that all people have equal rights to liberty.

Literature Review

This section review literature on the responsibility of Western Powers on Civil Wars as well as Rebellion within Eastern and Central Africa. From the reviewed materials, it is evident that the style of Western administration on the African continent left African countries unprepared economically as well as politically for independence. For that reason, it undermined the state of security within most countries from their start of self-governance. The influence of Europe within Africa has contributed significantly in establishing conditions within many countries for rebellion and civil conflict to take place. The Western powers treat African states as strategic economic ...

Abstract

Salvador Dali can be considered the iconic painter of the surrealist movement. He was cheeky, provocative, ironic, and disrespectful in his attitude to all he came in contact with. He took the foundations of surrealism to their extreme. Dali raised surrealism to a higher artistic level by depicting emotions and thoughts ranging from realism to delirium. His unusual creativity is evocative because of its mysteriousness and uncertainty. This paper attempts to discover a little more about this Spanish artist and takes a look at one of his most famous paintings.

Curatorial Statement The exhibition, “Thirty Years of Dali” has ...

Lincoln declared in the Gettysburg Address that ‘all men are created equal’ during a time when the United States was plagued by ‘a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure’ (“The Gettysburg Address”). Lincoln used the Gettysburg Address to remind the American people of the importance of the work that American soldiers contributed in the great sacrifice to fight for freedom by arguing that the world ‘can never forget what they did here’ (“The Gettysburg Address”). Lincoln successfully reminded the American people that despite the work soldiers contributed ...

Introduction

Development has always been a key issue among developing countries in Africa. All countries in Africa are termed as developing countries, meaning that they are still grappling in poverty issues such as food insecurity. These countries are well endowed with vast natural resources which if used wisely would ensure that many of the problems that such countries face would be solved. The problem that makes these countries lag behind when it comes to development is the lack of proper institutions to propagate the needed changes that need to be made (Kumo, 2009). Many institutions that are currently present are ...

The two main factors in the formation of the United States as a sovereign country were the American Revolutionary War in 1775 and the American Civil War in 1861. In both cases, it was a struggle for independence and unity against the oppressive regime. In first case it was a struggle of the 13 British colonies against Britain and its loyalists (colonists who remained loyal to the Crown) between the Patriots (ordinary Americans). In second case, it was a war between the Americans from the North with freed or escaped slaves and the Americans of the South with slaves. ...

Slavery did not end in America following President Abraham Lincoln’s Proclamation of Emancipation more than 150 years ago. In fact, even after the civil war that was meant for freeing the Black Americans ended, the African Americans were treated as forced laborers, particularly in the southern states, until the beginning of the Second World War. Sadly, the lives of the human beings who had to undergo torture and worst treatment in the hands of the White Americans were in all respects equal to that of their torturers; their valuable and complex lives were torn apart by the injustice ...

One of the most significant issues in the U.S. today is the systemic policies that have led to the U.S. having the largest prison population in the world. A disproportionate number of socioeconomically marginalized citizens are incarcerated and subjected to discriminatory practices by law enforcement and the justice department. The consequences are wide-reaching and inseparable, cutting across political, social, and cultural lines. In order to identify the roots of these interconnected phenomena, one needs to both understand the historical struggle of marginalized groups in the U.S. as well as follow the money. Socioeconomic discrimination, voter suppression, for-profit policing practices, ...

Part 1- Race and Media in the Networked Public Sphere

The early newspapers were reminiscent of the gross prejudice and discrimination against African Americans. This form of media formed a basis for cultural and racial stereotyping. This prejudice has spilled over into the twenty-first century where multiple platforms free of government control are available and foster much more open and honest dialogue.

Over the years, the countries of the Arab world have struggled with economic backwardness and various socio-political issues. Activation and intensive development of the Arab world began about 50 years ago.

Only a few decades ago, such reality as terrorism did not exist, but in the last decade, ...

The council of the slew of generals President Abraham Lincoln had to tread through, was not unlike dangerous waters which were constantly shifting amid the complexity of the Civil War.

Among the short string of military generals under the auspices of Abraham Lincoln include George B. McClellan, Joseph Hooker, Ulysses S. Grant, and George G. Meade. Whether or not people agree with Abraham Lincoln’s ...

Through early American history each new action and document established an important precedent for the young nation. For example, the Declaration of Independence created the foundation of a new country by not only declaring independence, but also by establishing essential truths on which the nation would be based. Equally important is the Gettysburg Address, which not only motivated future action, but also summarized actions that preceded it. In the Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln advances the idea that difficult tasks, such as wars, should be pursued to their successful completion in order to honor the fallen, a philosophy which has ...

Colonialism

Although many countries attempted to colonize Africa since ancient times, the most impactful colonialization occurred by European countries. European colonization occurred in Africa in the late nineteenth century. Colonialization was a regulated governmental controlling machine. Countries such as Great Britain, France, Portugal and Belgium colonized separate areas of Africa using distinctive techniques. These countries created states within the continent of Africa and attempted to rule indirectly, paternalise assimilate or exploit Africans which lead to a legacy preventing growth. With varying types of colonization occurring throughout Africa, it has been difficult for Africa to escape the periphery.

The U.S.A. and Mexico went into a war between 1846 and 1846. According to Griswold; “some of the fundamental issues that led to war were; annexation of Texas, the U.S desire for California, as well as, some territories in Mexico" (286). Factually, the Americans offensively invaded Mexico from the east through Veracruz port, from the north through Texas, and into the West (New Mexico and California). Griswold adds that, "the Americans won all the major battles due to the superior artillery they had over the Mexicans." According to Porterfield, "American General Winfield Scott captured the city of Mexico in ...

On the same note, America was involved in the Pacific region in the late 19th century due to commerce. There is a relationship between the population increase, Civil war, and economic growth.

Question one

Segregation was a common vice that to place in most of the social amenities. The fact that the available public facilitates were used separately by the white and black due to the concern of superiority and inferiority that existed between the two races. Although the separate facilitate did attribute to the segregation it also had benefits on the fight against the segregation practice (Brinkley, 2007 p.34).

The separate public facilities motivate the African-American leader to fight for creation of doctrine that should allow room for separate but equal public facilities. In other words, it means that ...

- In March 1766, Declaratory Act was passed by the British Parliament to affirm the Parliament’s right to pass laws in their colonies “in all cases whatsoever”.

There are very good reasons for considering Columbia a failed state, given its long history of corruption, drug trafficking, human rights abuses and a decades-long civil war. Indeed, making the opposite case is extremely challenging, and probably the best arguments that can be mustered is that it not in as bad a condition as it was in the 1990s and has actually been improving in recent years (DV). Even at its worst, when the drug cartels were openly challenging the authority and legitimacy of the state and internal conflicts and civil war were at their most intense, it was not nearly as ...

Unlike Lincoln and Johnson who took a moderate approach to bring the south under normalcy after the civil war, the radical republicans favored a harsher approach to the situation and upgrade the lives of the freedmen. This brought them into conflict with the established southerners and the Democratic Party in power which wanted to maintain the status quo. The federal government under the radical republicans then enacted laws and made constitutional amendments which could prosecute the Ku Klux Klan, an armed militia found in many Southern states which indulged in violence against the black ...

If you sit in a humanities class and listen to a lecture about the great ideas of our civilization, you hear about such notions as humanism and individualism. You hear about such seminal documents as the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence, and you hear about such institutions as the School of Athens and the United Nations. However, in many ways, one innovation has done far more to change society than any of these grandiose ideas and institutions: the assembly line. When Henry Ford found a way to mechanize labor and turn workers into individual automatons, the age-old battle between capital ...

Peacekeeping

Since the great wars, the international community knew it was crucial to prevent the onset of another war as the conflicts had shook the balance of power and destroyed both infrastructure and lives for the sake of power. With the establishment of the United Nations after the Second World War, it was argued that the organization would become a beacon of peace and intervene once conflict brews in a region. Peacekeeping operations, in this end, would enable the international community to stop the progression of conflict that may threaten the rest of the world. While the thought of peacekeeping is ideal, ...

The Cherokee Indians are the Native American tribes. Historically, they were living on the East of the Mississippi River. They occupied forests and mountain regions of the United States. By the time of Andrew Jackson presidency, they were living on the frontier territory. Jackson believed that the United States’ power is based on the small farms. Therefore, he needed the farmers to move further. Every farmer should have his own piece of the land. Besides, the nation produced a lot of cotton. The need of new cotton fields as well as the development of slavery led to the need of ...

Indians and Europeans inhabited a world of villages rather than of empires and they thought locally rather than globally. The rhythms and rituals of planting and harvesting meant more to most people than did timetables for the transfer of territory. That is not to suggest they lived in idyllic rural communities unaware of their place in a larger, world, only that communities were small by modern standards and paid most attention to the things that most immediately affected them. The regions people inhabited set them apart from and sometimes set them in tension with other regions, but their orbits overlapped and ...

Question 1

It is true that the question of labor made the Civil War unavoidable in the United States in the early 19th century. The oppressive and discriminative labor policies created tension that prompted the emergence of Civil War. In essence, the early 19th century Civil War may be viewed as the struggle against slavery. The North and South adopted conflicting ideologies in respect to the labor. The North embraced the ideology of free labor while the South propagated the concept of slave labor. In this context, the South struggled much to maintain slavery, which essentially led to eruption of conflicts ...
