Essays on Resurgence

Biology is definitely one of the most prominent disciplines that made an enormous progress in recent decades.

When Ronald Reagan became commander in chief of the United States in 1980, a consolidation of the conservatives began and the New Right emerged. Reagan was an essential motivator behind the conservative revolution in the 1980’s. Equality and privacy were the aims ...

Fascism and National Socialism

Political theorists, historians and and scholars have long tried interpreting and defining fascism but the definitions have either been too narrow or too wide as each interpretation of fascism is distinct and based on the ideological and political leanings and thoughts of the scholar or the theorist. According to Roger Griffin, fascism is "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra nationalism". He goes on to say that the fascist ideology has three core components- the myth of rebirth, decadence and populist ultranationalism. Paxton in his book, The ...

The history of film, much like any other industry throughout time, has largely been male-dominated, with the vast majority of opportunities and accolades going to male filmmakers. However, it is important to note the influence of women in the film industry, and the sorely underappreciated role they have throughout the history of cinema. When tracking women directors through the 100+ years film has existed, their impacts and struggles has ebbed and flowed in surprising ways. From the silent film era’s breadth of opportunities to modern filmmaking’s slow but steady infiltration of women directors today, female filmmakers have ...

According to Emmet Price, dancing, in the early years of Hip Hop, was the “‘essence of early Hip Hop culture’” (qtd in Gorney 1). However, over the years, dancing in the Hip Hop culture gradually lost its significance as it became “cultural fad” and was replaced with a “take away product of hip hop,” which is the CD (Gorney 2). In recent years, hip hop dance has enjoyed a “huge resurgence” (Gorney 2). This resurgence of cultural expression has manifested itself in multiple “forms” (Gorney 2).

A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is an investment vehicle in which resources are pulled from small and large-scale investors and consequently invested in the real estate sector. The REIT is then traded on an open market exchange. The attractiveness of REITs to investors is because of the special tax incentives and high dividends that they usually receive. The basic structure of a REIT is that it must at least have 75% of its assets in the real estate sector and must not have less than one hundred investors at any period.

However, this resurgence that spanned about five decades from 1790s to the 1840s is most notable for transforming the very character of the religious culture in the country (Appleby, Cheng, & Goodwin, 2002). Congregationalists, Anglicans, and Quakers were the major denominations at the Revolution’s beginning.

The Second Great Awakening was undoubtedly a triumphant movement that introduced novel organizational methods by evangelical churches. ...

Skidmore, Steur and Telles. Comparative Racism Between the United States, Cuba and Brazil Racism in the Americas is the societal result of colonization that took place from the end of the fifteenth century to the neo-colonialism of the last century. Then, as these eras ended, different countries adapted to the plurality of races that now existed in their own ways, some better than others. In most cases, but not all, there was European-American sentiment of superiority over other races that they now lived with.
