Essay on Biography of Sir Joseph Lister
The Father Of Modern Surgery The hospital environment has not always been a place of sterility
and extreme cleanliness that is associated with it so readily today. Prior to the work of Joseph
Lister, the hospital was a place to go to die, not to be cured. If an individual was able to survive
the pain and torture of surgery without anesthesia, a postoperative infection would most certainly
be their ultimate demise. Thanks to Joseph Lister, later known as Baron Lister, a hospital is now
a place of healing and cleanliness, not one of death and filth. Lister's Early Life: Joseph Lister was
born to Joseph Jackson Lister and Isabella Harris on April 5, 1827 in Upton, England. Upton was a
small village outside of the...show more content...
Lister realized the importance of the work of his ancestors, but was appalled at the fact that
outdated material could be learned for hundreds of years. Lister was lucky to be entering medical
school in a time when many important changes were taking place. Medical students were now
allowed to dissect human bodies, previously thought to have been grounds for execution and
certainly morally apprehensible. The methods by which students learned were also modernized, and
the public view of surgeons was being changed. As late as the early to mid–1800's surgeons were not
considered worthy of the respect of physicians, and were not permitted by law to practice
medicine. As the technology surrounding surgery was enhanced, the surgeons began to gain
respect in their own right. The use of ether in surgery as an anesthetic allowed the surgeons to
concentrate more on detail and less on speed. Prior to ether, the surgeon's speed was the only way
to minimize the pain of the patient. Lister was a very sympathetic person, and strove early in his
career to change the previously accepted conceptions of surgery. When Lister began his education
surgery had a mortality rate of over 50%. This was accepted by society, but not by Lister. He set out
very early to change this problem. Joseph continued his education and questioned

Essay on Biography of Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, Croatia at midnight between July 9th and 10th 1856. He was
intelligent since his early childhood. He soon became interested in engineering and he studied it
at the Technical University in Graz, Austria, from 1877 to 1880. Right after that he went to the
University of Prague in 1880, but his father had died and he withdrew his studies from the

His dream was about to come true when George Westinghouse hired him. George let Tesla develop
all his ideas and Tesla finally produced his invention alternating current (AC). He then became a
U.S. citizen in 1889. In 1891 he made another invention called the Tesla coil. It helped create many
other inventions that used the Tesla coil the television, a computer screen, the radio, and other
electronics. Then Tesla was struck by depression because of his mother's death in 1892. By about
1895 Tesla became a poor man due to a number of failed inventions, so he tried to get a contract with
the military. His first attempt to get a military contract was automated submarines and boats, but the
government didn't accept his offer. He finally got a military contract from the German Marine High
Command. He made turbines for the Germans, and it's thought to be used for their U–boats. Soon
After World War 1 started and Tesla had to cancel his concert or he would have been arrested for
treason. Tesla was broke again and was desperate for money so he attempted to build a death ray

him assimilate German culture. According to his conductor Einstein is said to have been playing

1936 – Rudyard Kipling dies.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Born in Bombay, British India, on December 30th 1865, Rudyard Kipling was the first born child
of John Lockwood Kipling and Alice Kipling, who had settled in India earlier that year. His father
was a professor of architectural sculpture; on his mother's side there was a brace of distinguished
Aunts and Uncles for the boy. One Aunt was the mother of Stanley Baldwin, future Prime Minister;
another was married to Sir Edward Burne–Jones, the distinguished Pre–Raphelite Painter. Kipling's
parents considered themselves 'Anglo–Indians', and so too would their son, though he in fact spent
the bulk of his life elsewhere. Complex issues of identity and national allegiance would become
prominent features in his fiction.
Just before his sixth Birthday, Rudyard and his younger sister Alice were separated from their
parents in line with the tradition of the English in India and sent back to England to receive their
formal education. It was an experience that would haunt Kipling till the end of his life. Rudyard
and Alice were sent to stay with a woman whom they had never even previously met for almost
six years. By all accounts she and the young Rudyard did not get along. Elements of his protracted
childhood ordeal appear in The Light that Failed and , more directly, in the story "Baa Baa Black

The nine years between is just another mystery that nobody can figure out(Shakespeare Online,

greatest writer of English Literature. His plays have been made into movies, books have been
written, music has been conducted and published, and if your real lucky you might even be able
to see a play of one of his greatest stories ever told; in which I have seen many movies and read
many books. Here are some of my favorite stories ever written; Othello, The Moon of Venice, The
Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night or What You Will, Julius Caesar, Richard III, Macbeth (which
was a favorite in high school), Midsummer Night's Dream ( I have read that book), Henry V,
Hamlet, which I might add Mel Gibson did very well playing that part, and my most favorite love
story of all time, Romeo and Juliet. As you can see the title says it all. His mind went to the extreme
and with such little education he just knew what his passion was and went for it. William
Shakespeare's children, as mentioned earlier, Susanna, Hamnet and Judith had a much different life
of the great English Poet. William Shakespeare's first born, Susanna, was raised by her mother, Anne.

Essay on Biography of Sergei Rachmaninoff
"Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music." This is a quote from the
great and talented composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. If you look up what the quote means you can get
many different answers, but many I don't agree with. I believe the quote means something more to
Rachmaninoff. I think the quote means that through Rachmaninoff's lifetime he could have been
satisfied with the music he created, but through his lifetime he did not create all the music he could
have. This speaks to how talented Rachmaninoff is at composing such master pieces in music. From
his early child hood in Russia to becoming a worldwide success he has always had that drive to
write music. Sergei Rachmaninoff was born on April 1, 1873 in one...show more content...
He made a tour of Western Europe and the United States, with a program that contained the
Prelude. It was so popular that it was referred to as "The Prelude" and the audience would demand
it as an encore at his performances usually yelling "C–sharp!"
Rachmaninoff graduated as a composer in 1892, in the ceremony he was awarded a gold medal
for his acclaimed opera Aleko. The first symphony in Rachmaninoff's career was in 1897 and by all
account it was a disaster. It is believed that the conductor was drunk at the time. In shame
Rachmaninoff destroyed the score. Pieces of the score survived and were put back together after his
death.
Rachmaninoff's life was affect by the patterns he established early in his career. His uncomfortable
endeavor between performing and composing with, with monetary pressures usually ensuring that
preeminence needed to be given to the orders of the platform. He was a worldwide character as
early as 1899, when he conducted a concert of his orchestral works in London, also playing some of
his piano music.
In 1900 Rachmaninoff began work on his Second Piano Concerto, considered one of the most
frequently performed works in this genre. The Concerto contains flutes, oboes, clarinet, bassoons,
horns, trumpet, trombones, tubas, timpani, bass drums, cymbals, solo piano, and strings. The
Concerto builds tension with the piano eventually climaxing. The years leading up to the Russian

About Anna, Constance, Pink Prison and Flick HotMen CoolBoys. It is said by critics and other
artist that all of the previous films were meant to emphasize on women beauty, but there was also the
other side of the society who thought of this to be unnecessary and disrespectful.
Back in 2007 he was supposed to begin a horror movie that was already causing controversy called
Antichrist. It postulated that the earth was created by Satan rather than God. However it was
reported that in May 2007 he was suffering from depression and might cease film–making altogether.
Unfortunately it is said by many sources including Dazeddigital.com that he can easily be
described as a hypochondriac and depressive person. Even though he has not been diagnosed yet,
he would often convince himself that he has cancer and other dangerous diseases. He also has talk
about his insanity and how he has long suffered from bipolar disease. Apparently all this mental

would be most likely that Shakespeare's lessons would focus around "Latin composition and the

by this time he had already left for England to start his career.
As mentioned before, Shakespeare had an early period of his life which led from his withdrawal
from grammar school, to his marriage to Anne Hathaway, which is commonly referred to as his "lost
years." Now comes the second section of his life where not much is heard of him and is also
likewise known as his "lost years." This period lasted seven years, from the time he left his family
in Stratford to the time he had become an established actor by the end of 1592. It is thought that
during this time "he practiced his skills and may have even been recruited by the Leicester's or
Queen's Men."(Bentley pg 14) Many of his plays had already become well known, such as Henry
VI, The Comedy of Errors, and Titus Andronicus.
When the theatres were closed from 1592 to 1593, during this time, Shakespeare wrote many
non–dramatic poems. When the Earl of Southampton saw his work, he immediately gave
Shakespeare the support he needed. With the Earl's help, Shakespeare returned back to the theatre in
1594. "He then became so immersed with his work that he was more involved in the theatre than
anyone else. He now shared ownership of the Globe." (Mabillard

Shakespeare was a great time in English history. The reign of Elizabeth, from 1558 to 1603, saw
England emerge as the leading naval and commercial power of the Western world. Elizabeth I's
England consolidated its position with the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, and firmly
established the Church of England. Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh sent colonists

At this time, London was the heart of England, reflecting all the vibrant qualities of the Elizabethan
Age. It was in this atmosphere that London became a leading center of culture as well as
commerce. Its dramatists and poets were among the leading literary artists of the daythis is the
environment in which Shakespeare lived and wrote. In the 1580's, the writings of the University
Wits defined the London theatre. Though grounded in medieval/Jacobean roots, men such as

Therefore, states will act as rationally as possible to protect themselves, utilizing whatever
necessary means and power to secure them. Countries would stock pile and hoard all elements of
national power like political stability, abundance of raw material, cultural hegemony, economic
capabilities, etc. but never really engage in conflict. A good correlation to this theory is the Cold
War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Both countries never directly engaged in
conflict with one another, but they knew of each other's capabilities and in return created stock piles
of nuclear weapons, creating an arms race (Taylor 2011, pg 138). At the same time realists believe
that international institutions are not as significant as understanding what the capabilities are of
their country and where it ranks within the international system. The biggest concept behind realism
is expounded upon in Machiavelli's work The Prince, where he elaborates on the significance that
power is the answer to end all political conflict and one should strive to maximize their individual
power (Political Realism). Marxism and realism are by far two political theories that are in the
opposite direction of the spectrum. Marxism has the main focus of teamwork and equality for one
another, and that is what will create a utopian society; whereas realism fosters internal competition to

Essay on Biography of Karl Marx
Biography of Karl Marx Only in the course of the world's history can a person born over a
hundred years ago be as famous today as they were back then. Karl Marx is one person that fits
this category. He paved the way for people of the same political background as his own. Marx's
ideas were unique and started uproar all over Europe. Marx helped write the Communist Manifesto
one of the most important pieces of literature on Communism ever written. At one time people
feared Communism as a power, which prompted Marx to write the Communist Manifesto and
explain his ideas. How Communism should be used as type of government. He was seen as kind of

The Baron introduced him into Romantic literature and Saint–Simonian. Marx's dad sent him to the
University of Berlin for four years. While in Berlin he traded in his views of Romanticism to
views of the Hegelianism, which ruled Berlin at this point in history. When Marx's college career
was cut short by the opposition of the Prussian Government he moved to journalism. Marx
became the editor of the Rheinische Zeitung a liberal newspaper in Cologne, Germany in 1842.
His views on economic questions made the Prussian Government uncomfortable and they closed
the paper. This is where Marx first got his ideas of how classes make life harsh for certain people
and the only way to fix this is to eliminate classes all together. After that Marx moved to France,
where in a few months he became a communist. He developed his ideas in his writings, which he
titled Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts. It was in Paris that Marx met his partner for life
Friedrich Engel's. Both of them moved to Brussels, and visited Engel's family in England from time
to time. During his time here he wrote The German Ideology for which he had studied history
intensely to come up with a materialistic view of history. In the German Ideology Marx said, "The
nature of individuals depends on the material conditions determining their production.". This was his

Essay on Biography of Louis Armstrong
Success is a path way, full of mysterious wonders. Many strive to accomplish, while others wait for
success to find them. Louis Armstrong's life was similar to this. Armstrong strived and strived until
he reached to a point in his life where he was comfortable with his fourth wife, Lucille Wilson.
Armstrong is ultimately known as the creator of jazz and blues. He was awarded this title by using
his talents when he was a young boy growing up in a rough neighborhood. Armstrong's talent was a
result of his childhood and young adult life. Growing up, Armstrong was exposed to music in his
surroundings. Armstrong obtained this fantastic talent, therefore causing him to establish it in a well
minded surrounding; creating his success and fame....show more content...
They moved to the corner of Liberty and Perdido Street, which in turn was an upgrade from their
previous neighborhood. However, his mom's job kept her away from home, thus keeping her away
from her children frequently. Armstrong and his sister were left in the care of their grandmother
(Eaton 14–17). Armstrong always had a charm that could make a person melt, like ice cream on a
hot day. "Louis was naturally a lively boy. He was always willing to be quiet [;] however... he
could persuade his great grandmother to tell stories of her girl hood" (15). Although he was a
charm, he also got into trouble. "By the time he was ten years old, he was asserting his own fists...
his mother [would come] home to find her son with a bloody nose or a bruised eyes, she... begged
him not to fight..." (27).
Growing up music surrounded him; whether it was rhythms, beats, or even the sound of the train
tracks, surrounded him. "Oh Granny, wish't you could hear [the] horns and drums playin' in dat
dance hall on de corner... De horn player– I could hear him blow all day and all night and never git
tired" (Eaton 18). Growing up in a Christian household Armstrong attended church and was exposed
to music then. "Just as the spirituals once sprang from the lips of claves to express their hidden
longing for freedom... inventions of rhythm and melody burst... expressions of sorrow or means of
release." Armstrong understood the concept of the origin and reasons of music, especially spiritual
music (30).

  • 1. Essay on Biography of Sir Joseph Lister The Father Of Modern Surgery The hospital environment has not always been a place of sterility and extreme cleanliness that is associated with it so readily today. Prior to the work of Joseph Lister, the hospital was a place to go to die, not to be cured. If an individual was able to survive the pain and torture of surgery without anesthesia, a postoperative infection would most certainly be their ultimate demise. Thanks to Joseph Lister, later known as Baron Lister, a hospital is now a place of healing and cleanliness, not one of death and filth. Lister's Early Life: Joseph Lister was born to Joseph Jackson Lister and Isabella Harris on April 5, 1827 in Upton, England. Upton was a small village outside of the...show more content... Lister realized the importance of the work of his ancestors, but was appalled at the fact that outdated material could be learned for hundreds of years. Lister was lucky to be entering medical school in a time when many important changes were taking place. Medical students were now allowed to dissect human bodies, previously thought to have been grounds for execution and certainly morally apprehensible. The methods by which students learned were also modernized, and the public view of surgeons was being changed. As late as the early to mid–1800's surgeons were not considered worthy of the respect of physicians, and were not permitted by law to practice medicine. As the technology surrounding surgery was enhanced, the surgeons began to gain respect in their own right. The use of ether in surgery as an anesthetic allowed the surgeons to concentrate more on detail and less on speed. Prior to ether, the surgeon's speed was the only way to minimize the pain of the patient. Lister was a very sympathetic person, and strove early in his career to change the previously accepted conceptions of surgery. When Lister began his education surgery had a mortality rate of over 50%. This was accepted by society, but not by Lister. He set out very early to change this problem. Joseph continued his education and questioned Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Right after that he went to the University of Prague in 1880, but his father had died and he withdrew his studies from the University soon after. Tesla always dreamed of becoming an electrical engineer and to invent a new type of power transmission instead of Direct Current (DC).

George let Tesla develop all his ideas and Tesla finally produced his invention alternating current (AC). He then became a U.S. citizen in 1889. In 1891 he made another invention called the Tesla coil. It helped create many other inventions that used the Tesla coil the television, a computer screen, the radio, and other electronics. Then Tesla was struck by depression because of his mother's death in 1892. By about 1895 Tesla became a poor man due to a number of failed inventions, so he tried to get a contract with the military. His first attempt to get a military contract was automated submarines and boats, but the government didn't accept his offer. He finally got a military contract from the German Marine High Command. He made turbines for the Germans, and it's thought to be used for their U–boats. Soon After World War 1 started and Tesla had to cancel his concert or he would have been arrested for treason. Tesla was broke again and was desperate for money so he attempted to build a death ray for the U.S. military. It's unknown what components Tesla used for this machine and if it even worked. He said that it would be used to defend of American soil; nevertheless the military rejected his offer. Tesla made one last effort to get a military contract.

His mother played piano very well and she wanted her son to learn the violin, not just to enroll him in music but also to help him assimilate German culture. According to his conductor Einstein is said to have been playing since he was five but Einstein did not enjoy it at that age.

His father was a professor of architectural sculpture; on his mother's side there was a brace of distinguished Aunts and Uncles for the boy. One Aunt was the mother of Stanley Baldwin, future Prime Minister; another was married to Sir Edward Burne–Jones, the distinguished Pre–Raphelite Painter. Kipling's parents considered themselves 'Anglo–Indians', and so too would their son, though he in fact spent the bulk of his life elsewhere. Complex issues of identity and national allegiance would become prominent features in his fiction. Just before his sixth Birthday, Rudyard and his younger sister Alice were separated from their parents in line with the tradition of the English in India and sent back to England to receive their formal education. It was an experience that would haunt Kipling till the end of his life. Rudyard and Alice were sent to stay with a woman whom they had never even previously met for almost six years.

The nine years between is just another mystery that nobody can figure out(Shakespeare Online, Actor and Playwright,1999–2010 ). There is no doubt as of today that William Shakespeare is the greatest writer of English Literature. His plays have been made into movies, books have been written, music has been conducted and published, and if your real lucky you might even be able to see a play of one of his greatest stories ever told; in which I have seen many movies and read many books. Here are some of my favorite stories ever written; Othello, The Moon of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night or What You Will, Julius Caesar, Richard III, Macbeth (which was a favorite in high school), Midsummer Night's Dream ( I have read that book), Henry V, Hamlet, which I might add Mel Gibson did very well playing that part, and my most favorite love story of all time, Romeo and Juliet. As you can see the title says it all. His mind went to the extreme and with such little education he just knew what his passion was and went for it. William Shakespeare's children, as mentioned earlier, Susanna, Hamnet and Judith had a much different life of the great English Poet. William Shakespeare's first born, Susanna, was raised by her mother, Anne. When Susanna turned twenty–four she was to marry a prosperous medical doctor. The wedding was held on June 5th 1607.

  • 7. Essay on Biography of Sergei Rachmaninoff "Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music." This is a quote from the great and talented composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. If you look up what the quote means you can get many different answers, but many I don't agree with. I believe the quote means something more to Rachmaninoff. I think the quote means that through Rachmaninoff's lifetime he could have been satisfied with the music he created, but through his lifetime he did not create all the music he could have. This speaks to how talented Rachmaninoff is at composing such master pieces in music. From his early child hood in Russia to becoming a worldwide success he has always had that drive to write music. Sergei Rachmaninoff was born on April 1, 1873 in one...show more content... He made a tour of Western Europe and the United States, with a program that contained the Prelude. It was so popular that it was referred to as "The Prelude" and the audience would demand it as an encore at his performances usually yelling "C–sharp!" Rachmaninoff graduated as a composer in 1892, in the ceremony he was awarded a gold medal for his acclaimed opera Aleko. The first symphony in Rachmaninoff's career was in 1897 and by all account it was a disaster. It is believed that the conductor was drunk at the time. In shame Rachmaninoff destroyed the score. Pieces of the score survived and were put back together after his death. Rachmaninoff's life was affect by the patterns he established early in his career. His uncomfortable endeavor between performing and composing with, with monetary pressures usually ensuring that preeminence needed to be given to the orders of the platform. He was a worldwide character as early as 1899, when he conducted a concert of his orchestral works in London, also playing some of his piano music. In 1900 Rachmaninoff began work on his Second Piano Concerto, considered one of the most frequently performed works in this genre. The Concerto contains flutes, oboes, clarinet, bassoons, horns, trumpet, trombones, tubas, timpani, bass drums, cymbals, solo piano, and strings.

Again, thank you counseling profession for slapping a wound on my light and deep respect for who I am. I am formally trained as a "Psycho"–Therapist and I have an incredibly low opinion of my profession as a whole. Incredibly low. Deeply disappointed and disheartened. Yes, the sentence is a fragment. Intentionally so. I am emphasizing the fragmentation I experience in my profession as you are reading. Moving forward with directness, I think we actually "suck" at healing. We do not understand the essence of what we are being called to bring forth in the world and, yes, I believe it is our responsibility to dig deeper. If there is a more sophisticated synonym I could use in replace of "suck," I'm not interested in your suggestion, but thank you. Get more content on HelpWriting.net

It is said by critics and other artist that all of the previous films were meant to emphasize on women beauty, but there was also the other side of the society who thought of this to be unnecessary and disrespectful. Back in 2007 he was supposed to begin a horror movie that was already causing controversy called Antichrist. It postulated that the earth was created by Satan rather than God. However it was reported that in May 2007 he was suffering from depression and might cease film–making altogether. Unfortunately it is said by many sources including Dazeddigital.com that he can easily be described as a hypochondriac and depressive person. Even though he has not been diagnosed yet, he would often convince himself that he has cancer and other dangerous diseases. He also has talk about his insanity and how he has long suffered from bipolar disease. Apparently all this mental problems have been going on since he was a little child, so it is definitely not something that has just arisen. Nevertheless, Lars Von Trierwas done remarkable work one of them known as Europa. This film is considered one of the most strange yet hunting films he's ever done.

Therefore, states will act as rationally as possible to protect themselves, utilizing whatever necessary means and power to secure them. Countries would stock pile and hoard all elements of national power like political stability, abundance of raw material, cultural hegemony, economic capabilities, etc. but never really engage in conflict. A good correlation to this theory is the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Both countries never directly engaged in conflict with one another, but they knew of each other's capabilities and in return created stock piles of nuclear weapons, creating an arms race (Taylor 2011, pg 138). At the same time realists believe that international institutions are not as significant as understanding what the capabilities are of their country and where it ranks within the international system. The biggest concept behind realism is expounded upon in Machiavelli's work The Prince, where he elaborates on the significance that power is the answer to end all political conflict and one should strive to maximize their individual power (Political Realism). Marxism and realism are by far two political theories that are in the opposite direction of the spectrum. Marxism has the main focus of teamwork and equality for one another, and that is what will create a utopian society; whereas realism fosters internal competition to strive for power in hopes of creating a strong and powerful country Get more content on HelpWriting.net
