The modern world is rapidly changing. Events occur and often time’s only one side of the story gets told. But to every event there are multiple way to view it. Take the history of the United States of America for example. In Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen’s book A Patriot’s History of the United States, the United States is viewed in a positive light. It tells the facts about the United States in a strait forward manner. However in Howard Zinn’s book A People’s History of the United States, the United States is generally viewed in a negative light. Zinn highlights how the country has caused problems while rarely admitting that in fact the United States has done more good for the world than harm. While both books are inherently biased based

In 1976 Rene Levesque won the provincial election and became premier of Quebec with his party, Parti Quebecois. The separatists wanted to strengthen the French language and didn’t care about official bilingualism. So not long after taking office, the Parti Quebecois passed Bill 101, which is also known as the Charter of the French Language. It decreed that French was the single official language of the province of Quebec and that employees of the government had to work in French. Outdoor commercial signs had to be in French only and the children of immigrants would have to go to French schools. The Quebecois likes this new law because they thought their language and culture was becoming endangered. Birth rates in Quebec had gone down and the

One of Albert Bierstadt more iconic paintings is titled the Sierra Nevada; it was painted in the year 1872. He uses different lines, shows incredible texture, impeccable depth, stunning colors and design in his painting the Sierra Nevada.

In Schenck v. United States, Charles Schneck was a member of the executive committee of the Socialist party during WW1. He was in charge of printing and distributing of 15,000 fliers to discourage men from submitting to the draft. The U.S government under Woodrow Wilson however had passed the Espionage act of 1917, which had made speech like Schneck’s illegal because it acted as interference to military operations and recruitment. The Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous decision that Schneck’s conviction was constitutional. The reasoning given was that because this was a time of war justice Holmes said, “the question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring

Klinenberg in this article talked about the research done by the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The reason for their research was to find out matching pairs of the relatives that were involved in the heat wave and friends of the victims that can answers questions about the lifestyle of the victims. He was interested in the victims’ social environment communities. “The map of the Chicago community areas that experienced the highest heat-related death rates shows that the community areas hit hardest are concentrated on the South and West sides of the city, the historic Black Belt where the city’s African Americans have been concentrated and segregated.” (Klinenberg, 81) Klinenberg was interested in discovering why African Americans were

“Vrrrrrrrr” sounds the fans cooling the projectors displaying video instillations of Terry Berkowitz “the last supper”. As I strolled into this gallery, I instantly thought of both “ted talks” we previously had this semester and how the artist we using rather unconventional means to portray their art. In visiting the Boca Museum Of Art I observed 3 specific pieces that tied into lessons I’ve come to learn more about in this semester.

The world as it is today places emphasis on accomplishment above all; to be happy is to be busy. In this pursuit of happiness one can easily miss the joy that is present in every moments, moments that pass them by incognito. This statement is reflected in the art of Wolfgang Laib, whose ability to isolate materials that comprise his art allows him to “reduce them to their purest essence”. The human psyche as it is requires context, meaning. When the average person comes across a sheet of pollen, their mind races from pollen to bees, from bees to hive. Laib’s piece Pollen from Hazelnut commands the viewers to simply view the pollen as it, void of context. When one looks at it, they are not made to see “a direct allusion to landscape”, but

For “premium” chocolate maker Scharffen Berger (SB), quality is king. Their distinct process creates a “taste experience” second to none, an unparalleled quality that must be maintained despite apparent capacity issues. To satisfy the rising market’s demand for its product, it must address three primary issues related to capacity: bottlenecks, expansion, and economies of scale. The current bottleneck in the Conche (output=1,344 kg. /day) will be remedied with the installation of the ball mill, however other bottlenecks will be created starting at the Melangeur. A cost-benefit analysis has determined a need for a second melangeur as well as added Roasting time from 8 hours/day to 12-13 hours/day to keep up with the
