It is a natural tendency for people to assume that they are smarter than people that are younger than they are. It is widely thought that with age, comes more knowledge, and a better understanding of the world. However, this thinking can't be used as a broad statement for entire generations of people. While there certainly are older people that are much wiser than younger people, this fact doesn't mean that younger generations as a whole are dumb. With the knowledge and discoveries made by previous generations at the disposal of younger generation's, the young people of today are smarter than ever.

From 1880s-1930s mechanization has increased in both Japan and India. More machines had started to be used than using one’s hands which produced more cotton than hand spinning would have.

1. Introduction. Architecture should not be separated from the political and social life of human-beings.

Communist ideology in the Soviet Union had a huge impact on the architectural development of many modern nations: Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Azerbaijan. The amount of affected countries makes the topic of my analysis relevant and worth-discussing. My essay will be structured in a following way. I argue that communist ideology had an

Silver DBQ Essay The global flow of silver from the mid-sixteenth century to the early eighteenth century had vast effects both socially and economically around the world. By this time an interregional trade network had been clearly established and world trade was booming. When China, a prominent trade nation, accepted silver as its currency and would only exchange for it, the importance of silver increased. This new rapid scramble for silver proved to be both beneficial and disastrous. While countries which were lucky geographically in their supply of raw silver could now trade prominently with China, demand created an increase of labor and social unrest. Reliance on silver both helped and hindered economies and societies, bringing

Beneath the banner of “no taxation without representation,” colonists convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their opposition to the tax. With its enactment in November, most colonists entailed a boycott of British merchandise, and a few organized attacks on customhouses and homes of tax collectors.

Between 1400 AD and 1800 AD the world experienced a period of change. The environment, people, technology, politics, and economy changed in some way, shape, or form. Although change is key to improving life, the changes during Big Era 6 were not beneficial for humankind. The majority of the changes in Big Era 6 were bad because monarchs took advantage of townsfolk, conflicts arose in economies around the world, and Europeans exploited indigenous people; however, political revolutions in the Americas improved the political wellbeing of the people.

It was a cold winter in Pennsylvania during the year 1776. The Continental army retreated as the Hessians came down from Canada. The state of the Continental army was in bad shape. They were low on many supplies such as blankets, shoes, clothes, weapons, and food. Also cold and sick, the army needed boats to get across the Delaware river and into New Jersey. They used boats from local fishermen, who were not that happy about the army taking their boats. After a day they crossed the river, frostbitten and in poor condition, with low spirits. Just six months earlier the Declaration of Independence was signed. They were in need of funds to pay for the soldiers’ enlistments, which were due to expire at the end of the month. The Hessians felt victory at their fingertips, even trying to get Washington to give up and sign a document of surrender. Washington shows leadership qualities until the end.

ESSAY TOPIC Leon Krier was criticised for publishing a costly monograph on Albert Speer’s architecture (1985)in which, while acknowledging the crimes of the Nazis and the man, Krier nonetheless claimed the book’s only subject and sole justification was “Classical architecture and the passion of building” (cited by Jaskot, ‘Architecture of Oppression’, 2000). Discuss this claim, the controversy and the issues (historical, philosophical and ethical and possibly others) they raise. Can architecture, Classical, Modern or otherwise, be autonomous from politics and valued independently of the circumstances of politics and history that adhere to it?
