Analysis Of Stephen A. Brighton 's Article

The Enlightened Archaeologist – an article authored by Jeffrey Hantman and Gary Dunham chronicles Thomas Jefferson’s investigation of the Indian burial mound located on the South Fork of the Rivanna River in the 18th century. The site excavated by Jefferson, however, is no longer visible, most likely due to dissipation by inevitable natural occurrences (I.E. excessive rainfall, flooding rivers, etc.) or human activity such as farming. The “Father of American Archaeology” correctly predicts the latter in his book, Notes on the State of Virginia, in which he states, mounds “…put under cultivation are much reduced in their height, and spread in width, by the plough, and will probably disappear in time” (1787). Fortunately for Archaeologists of the late 20th century (1988) an Indian burial mound identical to that of the one Jefferson described in his book was uncovered just 14 miles from the South Fork of the Rivanna River.

It has flawlessly displayed the coalescence of the principles of archaeology, linguistics, forensic science and ethnography, the use of the holistic approach of anthropology (Parkin & Ulijaszek, 2007) to reveal the violence and inhumanity brought by global inequality, without euphemizing the real events. The message the anthropologist Jason De León has successfully resonated with his readers, serving as a thought-provoking eye opener of the current socio-political

In the article, there are various issues that I agree with since they hold the objective views that are achievable and are realistic and necessary in the contemporary business world. For instance, the writer correctly notes that there is need, in as much as the USA has a capitalist economy, to have better and tougher regulations that would guide the businesses in the country so as to make the business environment lean and straight for operation by all the businesses. This will mean that, just like in Germany, people will have a level field for running their businesses as well as the chance to grow in their businesses in commensurate levels with the effort that they put in.

Texas History can mean many things as a Texan. It could start when Texas independence from Mexico. It could begin from the natives that were here before Texans were. It can be about the struggle many people faced, or it could be about the dreams settlers had when coming into new land. I believe that Texas History is about History and history. It is about the History that has made the textbooks and about the accomplishments and victories that everyone has made in their own history. That is what this paper is about, realizing how my own history relates to Texas History. For this project I chose the options of taking photographs of things that resemble Texas, elaborating on the icons of Texas, visiting a museum, and learning about how my family came into Texas.

After researching ten monuments in my hometown of Shamokin, a small anthracite coal region town in central Pennsylvania, I recognized a lack of representation of Shamokin’s coal mining heritage throughout its urban spaces. Considering coal was the main production of labor for decades, there are no public monuments dedicated to its most influential contribution to the world. This summer I undertook researching ten monuments that depict representations of coal miners and their heritage throughout different PA anthracite regions; thus, discovering how this important heritage is represented and its effect on the public memory of a town. As I archived materials on the monuments, I created a digital database curating the ten monuments and analyzing

After viewing Peter Mansbridge's interviews with the three party leaders, it's clear that all of them are looking forward to strengthening Canada's financial aspect but the fact of the matter is that there is only so much realism you can see from only three men in a span of thirty minutes. However, if one is called upon to identify the most convincing one, I would go with Stephen Harper. My opinion is based solely on his willingness and desire to fulfill his promises directly from the national budget; and his ideology where admitting large quantities of refugees into the country is not a solution but rather a never-ending process; and finally, he wants to keep taxation rates below what it is now. This is not to say that the others don't offer

In the “Female Intercollegiate Athletes and Women’s Athletics” by Brad R. Humphreys. They wanted to review the economic research on female intercollegiate athletes and women’s athletics. In this study they wanted to find the answer two key research questions that were not answered. The first one being is there an economic basis for legislating equality of opportunity in intercollegiate athletics and what was the overall impact of Title IX on opportunities in intercollegiate athletics for all college students? To study the first question they brook it up in three areas which includes increased academic success of participants in intercollegiate athletics, higher graduation rates, and increased lifetime earnings. Without Title IX colleges would

Throughout history there have been ebbs and flows identified within all facets of human history, and the Native American mound-builders were no different. The mound-building peoples of the Eastern United States (U.S.) along with the Aztec’s, Mayan and the Inca were revolutionary economists, farmers and communal architects. Before the Europeans came in contact with the mound-building tribes in the 1500’s, a thriving nation was had developed into an economic powerhouse and maintain its position of power and commerce for a few hundred years. We would be remiss to not preserve the archeological remnants of the Adena, Hopewellian and later the Mississippians. Each of the many built mounds holds unique facts and details to how the nation thrived and developed over several centuries.

During the mid-1800s, America was still expanding its country. In 1845, John L. O’Sullivan who was a New York newspaper editor and as well as a Democratic- party propagandist has given the name Manifest Destiny to the nation's expansion. The concept of Manifest Destiny was the idea that the unites states had a God-given mission to extend its land from Atlantic to the pacific and beyond. Therefore O’Sullivan advocated foreign policy such as annexation of the Republic of Texas and of the Oregon territory. In mid-summer of 1845, he wrote a column called annexation in the issue of Democratic Review were he argued that the United States should admit the Republic of Texas into the Union. He also explains during the time that Texas was getting

The study area was approximately 3,717 acres in size, of which 421 acres (11%) were sampled with field investigations. Sample blocks measuring 360x150 meters in size were distributed among 31 broad pedological units. Forty-nine (49) archaeological resources were investigated, including two that were previously recorded, 33 that were newly identified, and 14 isolated finds. As a result, six sites were recommended for avoidance or additional work to firmly evaluate them for the NRHP. Based on the sampling, a density of one site/nine acres was estimated for the intensive survey phase. This density compared well with the density observed for the western section (Abbott and Davis 1995:130). Two hypotheses were given for the high site density: 1) better preservation as a result of less severe erosion and 2) specific prehistoric/historic settlement

On 9/12/2016 at approximately 0740 hours Deputy Chavez B1871 and I responded to a Assault DV in 9615 South 7th avenue Phoenix, Arizona 85003. When we arrived at the residence we heard Amy Frieberg scream, we entered the house and Ron Frieberg and his wife where having a verbal argument and where in each other faces. We separated them both I took Amy outside to talk to her and my partner stayed inside to talk to Ron. I noticed that Amy had a swollen right eye and a red mark above her right cheek. I asked her if she wanted to be checked by medical she said “Yes”. I called medical and asked her what has happen. She said “ I don’t remember it happened really fast, I don’t want him to stay here”. We then started to talk to Ron, he began to

Charles M. Blow, father of three, is The New York Time’s visual Op Ed columnist. The author mainly discusses the ongoing epidemic of police brutality on innocent black bystanders, and how it is becoming a form of terrorism. He was prompted to start writing this piece after hearing and watching videos of many of the deadly encounters brought upon by police abuse. The author is trying to substantiate his opinion that the people who are supposed to protect lives (police), have now become a threat to it. He hopes to achieve recognition of this article by presenting the problem to the readers and the surrounding communities in order to raise awareness on the subject. Blow evidences his claim that police brutality is becoming a serious issue by

In Janie Jones article she describes very thoroughly the girl scout murder that occurred the summer of 1977. Jones is an experienced journalist for the Ay Magazine. Her article is broken up into three different parts, the first part describes the three girls who were murdered along with a summary of the night before the incident and the night of. The night of the murder a camp counselor, and two other girl scouts reported hearing noises during the direction of the three girl’s camps but nothing was done. The next morning a camp worker found the three girls dead in their sleeping bags battered and sexually assaulted. Towards the end of part one Jones goes into detail about the crime scene. This can be used to identify facts and witnesses of

The Author uses the evidence of a personal experience, research on the subject, and Marcus Arnold. The Author first uses his personal experience to state his point that the internet is a bad place for adolescents. He starts this by explaining about how his crushes father was a man who "struck terror into the hearts of 15-year-old boys". He then uses more information to get to his personal experience with her father and how he gained some level of respect from him. He pushes his point in saying he didn't use the internet, but if he had to go through the same scenario again today, he probably would have. In his next point the author uses research from scientist and institutes to move his point another step further. He starts off by stating his

An article published by Arthur C. Brooks, a writer for The Washington Post, stated that “We are not a perfect opportunity society in the United States. But if we want to approach that ideal, we must define fairness as meritocracy, embrace a system that rewards merit, and work tirelessly for true equal opportunity” (4). Brook’s statement expresses the views of our society today, as it is widely accepted that a society with meritocracy is favorable over a society with social determinism in America. However, there is often altercation when discussing whether or not meritocracy is present in our modern day society. The Civil Rights movement, feminist movements, and immigration movements have all brought our society towards meritocracy.
