Hikmah Professor Kevin Cummines Intro to Music 21 November 2013 Applied Questions 2: 1. Discuss the use of music in Catholic and Protestant worship practice, from the development of polyphony, through the music of J.S. Bach. In so doing, discuss the shift in responsibility for musical development from the Catholic Church to the Lutheran Church. During the middle Ages, the Catholic Church was the sole contributor to musical development. The music of the early church was monophonic, and had nonmetric

Labor Movement During the late 1800’s America became involved in a large labor movement that would shape history. As America was becoming more industrialized, the need for workers increased overnight. “The workplace was changing as machines became common and the demand for unskilled workers brought new groups into the workforce including immigrants, women, and children” (Aboukhadijeh). The desperation from both employees and employers brought awareness to working conditions. Employees desired better

liberation. Gandhi wanted India’s freedom from British rule, King wanted freedom from white slave owners during the African-American Civil Rights Movement, and Chavez wanted to improve the material lives of Mexican farm laborers/workers. Chavez influenced by the Roman Catholic faith united labor workers through social activism and created United Farm Workers which fought for freedom from hard unfair labor (Garcia,

between support and loyalty; this is where Argentina’s Peronism and Peronist movement differs from other ideologies, such as Communism and Fascism. This time period in which Peronism and the Peronist movement were a dominant factor in Argentinas society can be characterized as a period of an “unbreakable bond” between the views Perón had and primarily the working class—yes, there were other institutions such as the Catholic Church that played an important role in the success of Perón, however, the

As American towns industrialized all through the nineteenth century, irresistible ailments developed as a genuine danger. The presentation of new workers and the development of vast urban zones permitted already confined sicknesses to spread rapidly and contaminate bigger populations. Consider as industrialization occurred, towns developed into cities, and people relocated to them. The expanded interest for shoddy lodging by urban vagrants prompted ineffectively assembled homes that poorly accommodated

activists and other organizations should come together to learn and organize an elegant, smart, and respectful movement that will lead the affected groups into a better tomorrow. Caesar Chavez was at times addressed to as the “Mexican Moses’’ as a reference to the biblical story of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Cesar’s followers saw themselves as the Israelites, because farm workers at the time were being oppressed and exploited by farm owners and other civilians. Even though the affected

the wealthy and the poor became more pronounced; the corporations of the Industrial Age generated enormous fortunes for a handful of people, leaving most industrial laborers living in poverty. Most of the people living in these growing cities were workers working in the new factories of the Industrial Age. The manufacturers sometimes provided company housing close to the factories so that the entire work force could walk to work. The independent builders sought quick profits and got away with throwing

how the workers are treated in the Nike factory in Indonesia. Keady, a soccer coach at St. John’s University, refused to wear Nike products because he believes that Nike is against his catholic beliefs. Actually, this film helped proving that globalization related to inequality in all aspects. On the other hand, Eduard Porter states in the article “Inequality Undermines Democracy” that, “globalization and technological change, which have weighted heavily on the wages of less educated workers who compete

and quality working conditions, while elongating work hours and demanding higher daily quotas. Consequently, many farm workers protested unfair working conditions. Despite this plight for social justice, the Catholic Church did not choose to take action in supporting those in need. As a result, many Mexican Americans felt as if their voices were not being valued within the Catholic community. Without the Church’s support, Mexican Americans had little hope of promoting their cause because they were

The United States of America immigration policies exercised several measures in an effort to confine urban space for the Latin Americans immigrants in Atlanta. These efforts include restriction to access social space by the federal immigration officials, which limited their ability to build and sustain social and community life. The Department of Homeland Security effectively expelled undocumented immigrants from obtaining driving licenses, this made it hard for them to travel to job places, health
