The French revolutionary is a historical landmark that really shook France over the period between 1777-1799, reaching its peak in 1789. It signified the end of the ancient regime in France. The revolution was fuelled by several reasons: the peasants who were aware of their situation and were unwilling to bear the burden and anarchy that were embodied in the feudal system, extensive awareness about the political and social reforms in the country, the bourgeoisie resented the exclusion from power and leadership, the French participation in the American revolution, and the crop failure in the country in 1788 bred restlessness ...

Question 1: Gramsci: Some Preliminary Points of Reference

Philosophy has had a long history in which it has been viewed as an ‘ivory tower’ pursuit – a subject which is to be studied by those who have either too much time or money on their hands. Through this view philosophy had no practical applicability and was simply a pass time for those who could afford it. Contrary to this view, Gramsci argued that not only is philosophy a practical subject of study – one which embodies the idea of ‘praxis’ but that every individual is a philosopher. This (somewhat deterministic) standpoint claims that all people are, in ...

Revealing both the best and worst aspects of humanity, the Renaissance was characterized by extraordinary human achievements, a heightened interest in human potential and, paradoxically, by superstition, witch-hunting, exorcism and torture. The humanism of Renaissance had four main themes: the belief in the individual’s potential, a tendency to view religion as being more personal rather than institutionalized, an increased interest in the classics, a rejection of Aristotelian philosophy in order to develop a more scientific attitude.
As the ecclesiastical power started to deteriorate, the pressure of having to fit scientific inquiry with Christian dogma decreased, making inquiry steadily more objective. Copernicus ...

Defining Terrorism

Defining terrorism is a very complex issue, the importance of which cannot be overstated in the world today. The problem with declaring a “War on Terror” is that there is no catch-all definition of what constitutes terrorism (O’Kane, 2007). Most people have a very general idea of what terrorism looks like; it is easy to describe an act as terrorism once it has occurred, but it is very difficult to define terrorism as a whole before it happens.

A good definition of an act of terrorism is, arguably, an act, often a violent act, whose purpose is to terrify, scare, or otherwise ...

- There were a number of similarities between China under the Han and the Roman Empire. Why do you think that was so? Was it simply historical accident? Do those aspects of empire imply some sort of empire-building process common throughout the world? Why or why not?

China and Rome were both land empires, based mostly on agriculture, as were all other empires before the industrial revolution over the last 200 years. These two empires developed along similar lines even though they had no contact with each other, given the extremely slow communications and travel times of that era. They all seem to have had very similar caste systems, with slaves and peasants at the bottom, an aristocratic-military caste and an emperor or king at the apex (Adler and Pouwels, 2008, pp. 169-70). Both the Han and the Roman emperors also claimed to rule by divine ...

Globalization is a term used to explain the enhanced connectivity between nations, institutions, corporations, culture and people. It assumes a borderless world whereby ideas, finances, goods and services move freely across perceived boundaries that include borders, languages, governments and time. Some circles suggest we are in a second wave of globalization following the industrial revolution that emanated from England in the 18th century (Lewellen, 2002). The current wave of globalization has been prompted by the growth in communications, particularly in relation to advancements in, and widespread use of networked technologies.

Modernization can be interpreted as a western conception of industrialization. In a traditional ...

Realism is an artistic movement that begins in the 1800s in France. The artists in this era make effort to convey honest opinions while avoiding areas of exaggeration in the art elements.

After a hard fought war of the American Revolution in 1781, thirteen states felt the need to unify their apparent energies into the first American government. The states came together under the establishment of the articles of confederation, which became effective for a short period.

Several problems emerged in the articles of confederation.

Firstly, as Woods (1969) observes, each state was entitled to only one Congress vote (p. 355). This seems fair except that it did not ...

Second, it recognizes that velocity of data created is as important or even more important than the amount of data gathered. Because of the ...

Regaining Southern Power: Comparing Whites in the South after the Civil War with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s

It is common to hear people talk about the Civil War as a war that was fought to abolish slavery. It is cited as an example of American determination to bring freedom to all regardless of past wrongs. This narrative continues with the northern states-- the Union-- as the victor, and the eventual abolition of slavery. However, the American Civil War, its causes, and its eventual effects are much more complex than this narrative belies. After the American Civil War, there was a power struggle in the South; white Southerners used many tactics to regain power after the war officially ended.

Introduction:

Jimmy Carter was a President with a difference and even today he is still quite appreciated for his philanthropic work although his term as President was marked by a rather benign foreign policy which unfortunately did not always work and left him with considerable baggage in this respect.

Perhaps the American nation had high expectations regarding foreign policy especially after the disaster of the Watergate scandal and the quite uneventful Presidency of Gerald Ford. Notwithstanding all this, Carter was also quite unlucky in the sense that a number of issues occurred on his watch which could have been avoided especially the Iranian Revolution ...
