... have the right to choose what type of music they want to listen to in this country. Censorship is the control of what people may say or hear, write or read, or see or do. Censorship can affect books, newspapers, magazines, motion pictures, radio and television programs, and speeches.” (World Book 345) Most of the early problems with the censorship of music came about in the early 1950's. This was the first real era of rock and roll in America. In 1954 a Michigan Congresswoman tried to pass a bill that stated that the mailing of any explicit or pornographic album could lead to some hefty jail time, up to five years if convicted. When looking back, the 50's had ...
... profit. The army marched across the continent and, despite disagreements, took back the Holy Land. They set up four states and introduced feudalism. English people inhabited the land for 200 years. Eventually, the Turks recaptured several important cities and a second Crusade was called for. This time, two kings led their armies to take back the land. This Crusade and sever others to follow failed. The Turks kept the land. Though England did not regain the land the Turks had taken, the Crusades were not a complete failure. Because of the Crusades, trade increased, new lands were explored, new weapons were discovered, many other changes occurred. The Crus ...
... people, farmers, and middle-class professionals. They were both better educated and younger then the Old Fighters, who had been the backbone of the party during its first decade. The Nazis now presented themselves as the party of the young, the strong, and the pure, in opposition to an establishment populated by the elderly, the weak, and the dissolute. Hitler was born in a small town in Austria in 1889. As a young boy, he showed little ambition. After dropping out of high school, he moved to Vienna to study art, but he was denied the chance to join Vienna academy of fine arts. When WWI broke out, Hitler joined Kaiser Wilhelmer's army as ...
... lines, and look for the true circumstances that have resulted from this conflict. In Yugoslavia, and other countries in support of their efforts, the United States is seen as the bad guy. Very few of these people can differentiate between NATO and the United States. They view the air strikes over Kosovo as a horrific act, which has done little if anything to help the Albanian situation. The media in this area has managed to emphasize the killing of innocent civilians by NATO forces, while de-emphasizing the massive campaign of ethnic cleansing. Their leader Milosevic is seen as a great leader, while in America he is viewed as a Hitler-like fascist. The main que ...
... from other countries. Great Britain thought that if they could the costs of productions were reduced then more people would be willing to buy more and subsequently restart the markets purchasing cycle. Prime Minister Macdonald stated this in his speech on February 12, 1931, "To combat hard times, British leaders were forced to keep wages down (this made exports cheaper but precipitated the General strike of 1926) and to raise interest rates (this restored value to the British pound, but choked off borrowing)." MacDonald suggested public works for temporary relief for unemployment. This was just a start, as the goal was to return the labour back into its normal indu ...
... employers, and the proletariat, who were the workers. The struggle would end, according to Marx, in the socialist revolution and the attainment of full communism (Groiler's Encyclopedia). Socialism, of which "Marxism-Leninism" is a takeoff, originated in the West. Designed in France and Germany, it was brought into Russia in the middle of the nineteenth century and promptly attracted support among the country's educated, public-minded elite, who at that time were called intelligentsia (Pipes, 21). After Revolution broke out over Europe in 1848 the modern working class appeared on the scene as a major historical force. However, Russia remain ...
... camps. The average prisoner only survived eight weeks in Auschwitz. Some learned the ins and outs of survival in Auschwitz. Auschwitz was the largest concentration and extermination camp constructed in the Third Reich. Located 37 miles west of Krakow, Poland, Auschwitz was home to both the greatest number of forced laborers and deaths. The history of the camp began on April 27, 1940 when Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and Gestapo, ordered the construction of the camp in northeast Silesia, a region captured by the Nazis in September 1939. The camp was built by three-hundred Jewish prisoners from the local town of Oswiecim and its surroundin ...
... later on wooden bleachers and finally on tiers of stone seats which followed the circular shape of the orchestra and the natural contours of the countryside. The theatron surrounded the orchestra on three sides. Describing the theater of Dionysus, David Taylor writes, " The spectators seats were in a curving area, a little more than a semi-circle and slope down to the center" (Taylor 19). Even though all classes of people attended the theater there were reserved areas for the more prestigious, such as the king. " The audience arranged in rows, looked out across a rounded orchestra" (Kennedy 1102). Because most of the early dramas were religious and required a ...
... suggestions to cure the paralysis. Although Freud later abandoned his faith in hypnosis, hypnotic experiments taught Freud that mental processes that took place unconsciously could have a powerful effect on behaviour. It was Freud who drew our attention to the unconscious mind. If we liken the mind to an iceberg, the nine tenths below the surface is the unconscious in which there are many mental processes going on that we have little control of. Our conscious mind is above the surface; it is what we are fully aware of and contains our perception, thought and memory. Freud also spoke of the preconscious which might include material put out of our conscious mind but ...
... there is a clear contrast between Britain’s isolation and unimportance in European affairs at the beginning of the seventeenth century, and Britain’s full involvement as a major influence after 1688. This involves intellectual and political matters. European intellectual developments during the first part of the century did not significantly affect the main part of English life, and English influences on Europe were negligible. The only groups interested in developments in Europe were minorities who were dissatisfied with the established order in Britain. For most of these “Puritans” the Calvinist churches of Europe provided the model ...
