Bibliography: Beatrice Webb
Beatrice (Potter) Webb lived many lives: debutante, social researcher, writer, political hostess and networker, poverty campaigner, pioneer of an independent Labour Party and, while in her old age polemicist and champion for the Soviet Union. Born into a mid-Victorian upper middle class family, with a life of comfort and luxury, she turned her back on the world to become a social researcher, and gradually came to align herself with the labour movement. One of her nieces commented that she had spent the income derived from her father’s fortune trying to destroy the society on which it was founded on. In the years before the First World War Beatrice prepared

Bethany supports the protection of sharks and their habitats (pg.7). This is ironic because she was actually attacked by one. This certain shark is considered to be one of the deadliest predators in the ocean (pg.7). The shark turned out to be a fifteen foot tiger shark, which attacked her when she was waiting for a wave to surf on even though she was only thirteen years old. (pg.7). [Bethany showed great resilience in overcoming the shark attack to achieve her surfing dream.]
On a stormy night in Chicago, a woman gave birth to a beautiful little redheaded girl. She and her husband, two great scientists and eminent professors of the University of Chicago, held their child happily, hoping she would one day follow their path. As the mother was resting, her husband’s mother arrived, eager to see her grand-daughter. However, seeing the redheaded baby with a small birthmark on her upper lip, the profoundly Christian and superstitious woman saw a sign of the devil. In a moment of inattention from the parents, she stole the baby and fled to Greece to exorcise her on the grave of their ancestors. Luckily, right before the grand-mother began the exorcist ceremony, a phoenix came out of the sky and saved the little girl. As the
Beatrice is the independent, strong and opinionated woman traits that we, nowadays, think are important in a woman. She isn’t afraid to voice her opinions, insult Benedick or be bawdy in her humor. She relishes defying the status quo and surprising the men with her antagonistic attitude.
Katie Bardaro has researched and wrote an article titled, Average Salary for People with highest degree GED or High School Diploma. She stated that, “There are over 27 million people are in school at this moment attending anywhere between kindergarten to high school seniors. In the last forty years, those who graduate high school with a diploma are at an all-time high. Of those 16-21 years old, 1.8 have dropped out of high school without a diploma and of those, 66% are not working. 5.1 million of those 27 million have graduated with a diploma but have yet enrolled in post-secondary institutions. Many people do not know this but, even after someone witha high school GED has been employed for over 20 years the average highest annual salary they
Helping people is something I have always felt like I am supposed to do. The mission and responsibilities of social workers, especially as it is laid out in the Columbia University School of Social Work mission statement, seamlessly aligns with my vision for how to best utilize my experience and passions. Specifically, I hope to use social work to address social justice issues and help empower individuals who cannot advocate for themselves due to societal barriers. Experiences in my personal life and volunteer and work positions have culminated in my decision to pursue a MSW. Knowing that there is a major need for workers in the field of social services, and that my life experiences and interests are aligned with a career attuned to serving individuals, families, and
Although the rise of Christianity to dominate western religions may have been undeniable, there were key moments that helped secure this position for Christianity. The rise of the constantinian Dynasty was one of those key moments. During the 4th century, Constantine rose to emperor in the west after the death of his father. Never the less, constantinian and his brother in law Maxentius who was also his co-emperor in the west were rivals. There was a lot of hostility between them and a war broke out after years of political backstabbing. Before they met in the battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, Constantine apparently had saw the sign of Christ in his dream. Several years later, Eusebius gives an account in which Christ appeared to Constantine and told him to place the heavenly sign on the battle standards of his army. Armed with this holy power, Constantine destroyed Maxentius and there for becoming the only western Emperor.
There is no contention over whether the public is ill informed on political matters. There is, however, over whether this is important, and what kind of difference it would make to a democratic system. In New Zealand we currently make up a ‘representative’ democracy. This means that our participation in our political system mainly happens every three years when we vote for the leaders we deem suitable to run our country. This also means that the public finds little reason to get involved in political matters as it often takes up too much time, effort and money (Arnold, 2009). I will be looking at if the public being poorly informed makes a difference to what democracy means and if it knowledge is the most important factor to democracy as well as technocracy and what it would mean if we were to take up this form of government.
Anthony’s first paid position was headmistress of the girls department of Canajoharie Academy in 1846. During this time she was deeply troubled by the fact that women received much lower wages than their male counterparts for equal work. She returned to the family farm in Rochester New York when Canajoharie Academy closed in 1849. At this time she began to be fully involved in reform work. She was introduced to Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851 who had played a key role in organizing the Seneca Falls convention in 1848, which was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. The two of them formed a lifelong friendship and ever after were constant partners in the battle for women’s rights and social justice. Their relationship was complimentary: Stanton did the writing and came up with ideas while Anthony excelled at organizing and delivering speeches. Her methods of raising public awareness and building grassroots support for social causes are still in use by political parties today.
