Separating fact

- after the First World War, as well as a way to achieve peace. As a result of this conference a number of settlements were drafted, including the Treaty of Versailles. At the time that the treaty was written it was popularly considered unjust. In fact the German population considered this not to be a treaty but a “diktat” or dictated peace. However, many post modernist historians would agree that the treaty was not nearly half as

and is more of an emotional representation - as in the case of my work. The problem is that there is no originality separating We Are Many from that of Victor’s work, even if inspiration was drawn from Victor. Apart from the lack of originality, the artwork is very successful in portraying emotion due to the expressive mark making and technique of using smoke as a medium. The fact that Diane Victor can include so much detail adds to the emotion and “drama” of the work, whereas my own artwork lacks

Since whites did not want to teach them, African Americans decided to educate themselves and succeeded. For instance, Du Bois celebrates the fact that “in a single generation [the missionaries of ‘68] put thirty thousand black teachers in the South; they wiped out the illiteracy if the majority of the black people of the land, and they make Tuskegee possible” (60). This quote implies that when

In spite of having an ocean between them, the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Maya were as different as they were similar. For example, polytheistic beliefs supported both of their cultures, but their customs differed in significant ways. Another instance was that both civilizations built pyramids, but their distinct structure and religious backgrounds set both cultures apart. The civilizations were most alike regarding their opinions on women, seeing as they allowed women to ascend to the throne

A Soldier's Sacrifice This image of the soldiers holding up the land uses the contrasting moods of the colors on top and bottom, the symbolism, and the eye catchers to show how the soldiers are sacrificing themselves, and the people are taking that sacrifice for granted. The contrasting moods the two halfs of the picture are portrayed by the use of the cool calm colors up top which portrayed the peaceful mood of the families beach visit and the dark red of the soldiers’ blood from the bottom

Over the course of the past century, Chinese Buddhism, like most every religious tradition, has changed in a number of ways. Upon its arrival in China, the Buddhist tradition and its followers were faced with the challenge of synthesizing Buddhist values of individual enlightenment with the pre-existing Confucian and Taoist traditions that shaped Chinese government, spirituality, and culture. Due to this necessary adaptation, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism began to overlap and work together to

decade, state revenues decreased, and the program in which the walls would have been funded ended. UDOT typically builds noise walls as it builds or expands freeways, said department spokesman Adan Carrillo. Frequently, when UDOT built walls after the fact, neighborhoods were split, he said. Some people wanted to protect their view. Sometimes walls were built and then taken down. The program hasn’t been restored. UDOT spends money on “snow removal, maintenance (and) patching potholes,” Carrillo said

Arthur said in his message to the Congress that “[m]any of [Native Americans] realize the fact that their hunting days are over” and urged them to “engage at once in agricultural pursuits”. Arthur undermined indigenous culture by discouraging the way Native Americans used land. The Dawes Severalty Act of 1887 also overlooked indigenous culture

this was also not the first rewrite of the Pledge, but is the first rewrite of the Pledge to cause such a dilemma. It should be deemed inappropriate wording for a nation with diversity in all aspects in the view of the fact that what is supposed to unite us is actually separating us. A simple solution would be to either not say the Pledge or remain silent while others utter the words “under God”, but individuals may feel urged by peer pressure or otherwise viewed as un-American (57).

1. The author, Marcus Bulls, main point about our understanding of Medieval Europe, is that the pop-cultural coverage of this era, why not necessarily wrong, can cause an average person to misinterpret the lifestyle, regularities, and mannerisms of the middle ages. To understand why people would portray this period incorrectly, Bullis talks about how the medieval time period has “gaping holes” and “half-gaps” in history. This gives people wiggle room to illustrate grey areas in history to get from
