Cultural Uniformity In The Twentieth Century
In the early twentieth century, the United States was quickly evolving to become a nation of prestige on the global stage. Yet the young nation lagged
in cultural uniformity which its counterparts in Europe had been developing since the birth of the first European kingdoms. The progression in cultural
philosophy further evolved with significant cultural movements such as Humanism and the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, Romanticism then
Realism, and then the twentieth century's Modernism. The United States did witness the effects of these movements but their effects lagged in
significance because of the great social divide the nation faced and still faces. The nation is home to a bountiful population that lacks cultural
uniformity because of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
DuBois and Alfred Rosenberg both touch upon the racial issues in the conflicting rural and urban communities, in their pieces "Of Work and
Wealth" and "Myth of the Twentieth Century" respectively. DuBois writes about the East St. Louis Race Riot of 1917 that was a result of black
workers replacing white workers that were unionizing and protesting. DuBois expresses how the race institutions and disfranchisement promote
racial tensions that unilaterally destroy any sense of cultural unity in the Middle West and throughout the nation. Mr. DuBois encourages the blacks
to not give back because they were guaranteed the same rights after the Civil War and that the disenfranchisement through local laws such as those
of Jim Crow would serve as a lesson to the nation. He states at the end of his piece about the riots that the "American Negroes stand today as the
greatest strategic group in the world. Their services are indispensable, their temper and character are fine, and their souls have seen a vision more
beautiful than any other mass of workers. They may win back culture to the world if their strength can be used with the forces of the world that make

Slavery In The Twentieth Century
It has been over one–hundred and fifty years since African–Americans have been liberated from the hardships of slavery. Even though the United
States of America and its citizens have undergone many modern changes since slavery and its abolition, the effects of enslavement and oppression are
still evident today. Many works such as Rituals of Blood: The Consequences ofSlavery in Two American Cities, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, and
Nothing But Freedom: Emancipation and Its Legacy all explain a common conclusion; the chattel enslavement of African–Americans left a profound
effect on former slaves and their descenders. In 1903, W.E.B. DuBois wrote in The Souls of Black Folk, "the problem of the Twentieth century is the

The most popular physical appearance rivalries were the differences in skin tone and hair texture. The house slave seemed to have a much better
lifestyle than the slave who was forced to work in the field from sunup to sundown. As a result, this initiated a feeling of jealousy in the field slave
and sense of arrogance in the house slave. Mostly the house slave was fair–skinned with "closer to straight" textured hair because they were usually a
product of the master's affairs with his property. While the field slave was a much darker tone and hair texture "closer to their African roots".
Therefore, colorism in the African–American culture developed. Black people of a lighter tone thought of themselves as better than anyone

The First Half Of The Twentieth Century
Sidi Mahdi Mardakli The first half of the twentieth century has been the most dreadful, and the most unstable of all time for the humanity. Wars,
conflicts, and genocides plagued many parts of the world during that time especially in Europe which became the main battlefield for two major
wars. It is certainly the worst period of human kind's history. Millions lost their lives in what became the deadliest period of humanity. Beyond its

Battle for lands and territories As mentioned earlier, Europeans powers and Japan start looking for land and resources in other places. "The period
between 1870 and 1945 was characterized by sustained and intensive imperial activity that remapped significant portions of the globe". In what became
a fierce competition for land and resources, the "territorial accumulation became both a symbolic and material index of national power and international
standing: advocates of colonialism in recently unified nation–states of Germany and Italy as well as in Meiji Japan gave particularly strong expression
to the idea that an extensive empire was a crucial indicator of a nation's strength and modernity." This element describes the feeling inside European
powers about their colonial policy. A deep nationalistic feeling about the competition for land was prevailing. New powerful empires were built
thanks to the land and resources controlled in other parts of the world. The German empire was an example. But "World War 1 ((1914
–1918) marked
the end of this empire: some German colonies were seized by rivals at the outset of the war, while the remaining territories were redistributed among
France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan under the provision of Article 22 of the Treaty of Versaille." German's

The way the government of Canada handled the issues of the First Nations, effectively demonstrated the fact that the government regarded the
immediate problems of the First Nations as a matter of indifference. The efforts of Canada persistently indicated that unless the First Nations held any
benefit to the expansion of the economical, political or social aspects of their government, they would be overlooked merely because of their cultural
origins.
Often times, when it came to the discussion on equality within Canada, the actions of Canada were compared to those of the United States, and often
times, a comment is made stating that the United States could learn from Canada's example when it came to racial harmony. However, this idea was
often criticized as the racial problems within Canada were just as severe. The respect and the livelihood of the First Nation were violated for years
even before the start of the twentieth century. However, the issues of the First Nations were hardly ever brought to light by other Canadians because
these issues were often hidden deep within the reserves that these First Nations were forced into. From taking their land away to disregarding their
cultures, the government rarely ever acknowledged the needs of the First Nations until they could no longer be ignored. The government continuously

Twentieth Century Isolationism
During the Twentieth Century, there were several events that caused a breakdown in people's relationships. The horrors of World War One caused T.S.
Eliot to study isolationism between people and culture. He moved to London from The United States and dissolved all ties with America. In addition,
Langston Hughes wrote about separation of races and the problems with prejudice at the time, not only against blacks but against immigrants, as well.
E.E. Cummings wrote about isolationism in a unique way, not even giving the characters real names. Instead, he used indefinite pronouns. Theracism
and isolationism harshly affected several men and women during the Twentieth Century, which led several artists to incorporate political views into
their artwork. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Hughes' works reflect the thoughts and views of society by showing how racism and isolationism affected society. In many of Hughes' works, he
gives advice for those who are suffering from racism and isolationism, which is to not let anything get in the way of dreams. Hughes expressed this
idea in his poem titled "Mother to Son". In the poem, Hughes states, " . . . don't you turn back. Don't you set down on the steps" (Baym, 2013, p.
1039). Many people that the racism and isolationism affected would turn to giving up on almost everything in their lives, but Hughes gives advice to
those who wanted to give up by saying to never give up. Hughes wanted the society to know that they shouldn't let the racism affect their lives, but to
ignore the racism and to keep moving forward. In his novel, Not Without Laughter, Hughes says, "Ever'thing there is but lovin' leaves a rust on yo'

With HIV being a major global epidemic, we are still seeing high numbers and new cases arise every year. In the twentieth century the syndrome
was the most famous epidemic and still is considered to be so today with many people dying from the disease. In the healthcare community the top
priority for HIV/ AIDS for both periods have been prevention and access to treatment. Researchers continue to push forward toward a cure for this
epidemic as they did in the twentieth century through clinical trials and exploration. We also see similarities when it comes to the cost of health care

The war initially began in 1895 with the rebellion of Cubans under Spanish control. Accordingly, Spain sent forces to dispel this rebellion, but in
vain. Early in the year of 1898, the ship USS Maine was sent to Cuba, and sunk on February 15 of that same year. About a week prior to the USS
Maine's sinking, a letter, written by Enrique Dupuy de LГґme, and famously called the De LГґme Letter2, was released by U.S. newspapers. The letter
slandered U.S. President William McKinley, the incumbent at the time, as well as his methods of dealing with both foreign and domestic affairs.
Indeed, many, including McKinley, saw this letter as a large sign of disrespect, especially when coming from the Spanish ambassador to the
United States. This, coupled with the sinking of the USS Maine, raised the concern of a possible war with Spain. And, as such, Spain declared war
on America on April 24, 1898, with the United States following with a declaration of their own the very next day. McKinley's first decision was not
to go into war, but he was forced into it through the pressures of the Democratic Party and his inability to provide sufficient answers concerning the
sinking of the USS Maine3. While the declaration of war itself is not always viewed as imperialistic, the actions prior to this were quite imperialistic
themselves. It seemed as if the U.S. declared war in response to Spain, whereas in reality if Americans hadn't

Faderman takes a decidedly social–constructionist analysis as she examines lesbian life in Twentieth Century America, arguing from the start that its
definition has less to do with innate same–sex attraction than with external sociopolitical influences. It is apparent that in the debate between the
"essentialist lesbians" and "existentially lesbians" she offers no apologies (and plenty of reasons) in siding with the latter. Not only does she explore
how the sub–culture continually responds to external pressures such as conservative politics and institutional biases but deeply analyzes how then the
community expands and contracts to its marginalization and oppression. For instance, she describes numerous times (such as the butch/femme role
enactment and the demand for a regulated sexual intercourse between women in the 1970's) when the lesbian community – and corresponding social
movement – enacts various border patrolling and internal policing to maintain its strict identity as women to keep the pressure and agents of the

The Beginning Of The Twentieth Century
The beginning of the twentieth century marked a significant event not just in the changes of ideology, technology, but also the way artists approach art.
Communism and Fascism were on the rise and technological advances held strong since the industrial revolution. However, "The need for a wholesale
new approach to art in the nineteenth century arose as the traditional forms of art were borne down on by new conditions and experiences." (21)
became apparent. To satisfy this need artists took many different approaches, but three most significant they approaches this issue involve: the rejection
of traditional art, protesting status quo, and the "non–western" approach. Although each approach is rapidly different from the other, they share the
same bond of testing the boundary of art and at times ignoring it completely. This resulted in artwork becoming more powerful, meaningful, and
influential. At the turn of the nineteenth century artist decided to approach art in a new way, meaning they started to reject traditional art. Artists
craved new art to better represent the new conditions and experiences that were felt. This was described by ``The need for a wholesale new approach
to art in the nineteenth century arose as the traditional forms of art were borne down on by new conditions and experiences." (21). In particular the

Probably the most effective secret deals done by Rockefeller and his partners were with the railroads. Rockefeller saw that he could not compete with

asking for a rebate from Michigan Central Railroad.(7) These "in harmony" deals meant those refineries and oil traders not "in harmony" with Standard
Oil would find that railroads would refuse to move their oil, whatever the price. Oil is free at source, so once the investment in refining and extraction

Slavery During The Twentieth Century
Jeremy Black has recently stated 'slavery played a major role in the twentieth century.' The twentieth century, he argues, witnessed a highpoint in
slavery as it rose to a new peak. He defines slavery as being 'public' which differs from the 'conventional account of enslavement, economic exploitation
and racism.' For Black, the conventional account of slavery has been 'easier to define and confront.' This dissertation through the work of three authors:
Buchi Emecheta, Ayi Kwei Armah and Tayeb Salih aims to act as a corrective to approaches similar to Black's theory, that slavery has been easily
defined, by demonstrating the tension between remembering and forgetting history. The twentieth century narratives trace the history of theAtlantic
slave trade through contemporary Africa, reflecting the role of slavery in present day. The works unearth remnants of the past in order to locate African
memories in literature and bring them forth from the margins of history. Each author originates from different geographical locations in Africa, which
allows various forms of slavery to emerge in the narratives, representing slavery as continuing to haunt the African psyche.
In tracing transatlantic slave trade literature, Achille Mbembe states, 'there is, properly speaking no African memory' presenting the void of African

Although it was a complex procedure, Hitler proved himself to be both a skilled political manipulator and an original military strategist. But above all,
Hitler was a rabid ideologist. As a result of his actions, the Hitler state destroyed the legacy of imperial and Weinmar Germany and undermined the
humane values of German culture.
Unlike in Italy, the rise of fascism in Germany occurred in one of the world's most advanced economies, for the German modernisation and
industrialisation process during the nineteenth century had helped to create a powerful state. Political extremism in Germany developed further from
the failure of the state and society to manage the complex problems arising from the country's sudden defeat at the end of the First World War in 1918.
Although the First World War created the necessary conditions to enable the rise ofNazism,
Nazi ideology was derived from the intellectual and political underworld of pre–1914 Germany. Before 1914, this far–right ideology which was heavily
focused on anti–Semitism, remained on the political fringe and had little influence on domestic policies. Hitler himself, for example, although later
greatly influenced by the Austrian anti–Semitism of Karl Leuger (1844–1910), was a failed art student and architect whose personal apathy prevented

A vacuum cleaner is more than just an object that sucks things up and scares the dog. It can be considered one of the most convenient household
products that were ever made. Although people may not use them as much today, they were very significant to the women in the early twentieth
century.Vacuum cleaners symbolized cleanliness, the cult of domesticity, and training to be a "great housewife". Women were pressured to live in a
domestically oppressed household because of gender roles/stereotypes and the influence of patriarchy. The ideology behind both Hoover
advertisements were to target women and men. The primary gender roles of women in the early twentieth century were to stay at home, cook, clean,
and tend to their children. Hoover portrays what looks like two well–dressed, middle class, married white women who look very content. These
advertisements reinforce the sex–role stereotype that every happy lady was a housewife. Since they displayed women as housewives in
advertisements, it was easier to connect and convince their target audience to buy their products. Their slogan was, "She'll be happier with a
Hoover", which meant that if you gave her a Hoover you were giving her the best. Receiving a new vacuum cleaner would be better than any other
expensive gift. These ads were persuading men to "satisfy" their wives by buying them new appliances yet they were the ones who benefited from it.

Gender Roles In The Twentieth Century
The Twentieth Century proved to be a strident and unstable time for mankind around the world as global warfare loomed upon the midst of the

Forensic Science In The Twentieth Century
Criminal investigators use forensics science to answer the who, what, why, how, when, and where factors in a crime investigation. It uses scientific
methods to describe, infer, and reconstruct events from the small pieces of evidence found during a proper investigation. Scientists and law
enforcement have used forensics for over 120 years, but especially more in the twentieth century: major countries like the United States, France, and
the United Kingdom have been using forensics as a mean of identifying criminals either by photography or DNA fingerprinting. Shows, books, and
other popularized fiction emphasize the scientific aspects of an investigation but do not show the real limitations of court handed down from the U.S
Constitution. There have been new discoveries made and are still being made today for the advancement of the forensic side of a criminal case.... Show

The use of forensic science started in the mid–nineteenth century when police in Birmingham, England, began using the newly developed technique of
photography to keep photographic records of criminals. Later in the same century a man named Alexandre Lacassagne successfully identified a corpse
using bones and dental comparisons. Now into the twentieth century the use of this science was popular in the United States, France, and England.
During the first year of the new century Karl Landsteiner discovered that humans have two kinds of blood antigens on their red blood cells, which
were named A and B. In the same year the New York City Service Commission became the first organization in the U.S to officially use fingerprints as

groups, reforms happened, people's actions went down in history, and there were many changes to the way that our nation is ran, including foreign

The Decline Of The Twentieth Century
1. Introduction
One of the major medical achievements of the twentieth century was the dramatic increase in the average global life expectancy. In 1950, the global
median age was 23.6 years; by the year 2000, it rose to 26.4 – a gain of three years. The United Nations has projected that by the year 2050, the
median age will jump to 37 years – a ten–year gain (Kochhar, 2014). People are living longer. At the same time, people are having fewer children.
The consequence will be a situation without precedent: by the year 2020, there will be more of people over 65 years of age than children. World
Health Organization (WHO) and many of the developed as well as developing nations are raising questions such as В¬ Will longer lives result in
longer periods of good health, longer periods of productive careers and social engagements, or will old age mean prolonged illness, disability, and
dependency on family and the State. How will the healthcare and social costs be borne by high–income and low–income nations? Managing the
demographic forces will require creation of institutions and infrastructures that may seem costly; waiting could be costlier (Dobrianskt, Suzman and
Beard 2011). The first part of the paper describes the projected changes in the population and the attitudes towards aging and coping with aging–related
issues. An aging population, without appropriate policies, can become an economic and social burden in many of the European countries. The second

The Twentieth Century In The 20th Century
The 20th century is the bloodiest century in history when we look at death tolls alone. The twentieth century saw the Armenian genocide,
Holodomor, and the Holocaust. The Holocaust was performed very systematically and is one of the main reasons why people were murdered so
systematically during the twentieth century. This has been due to increase of technology, rise in authoritarian rule, and increased industrialization.
First, the increase in technology really helped increase death count during genocides as the increase technology of weapons has been speeding up
the process of genocide, We can see this in the Einsatzgruppen, the Einsatzgruppen were killing units that would follow the Wehrmacht in their
advance and kill Jews and other ethnicities. They carried out mass killings, mainly by shootings were the gun could kill the victim fast without
much of a hassle. The speed at which the Einsatzgruppen killed was indescribable as without the use of gun, it would have taken a lot more time.
However, the increase in technology also found something more effective than bullets, gas. Zyklon B was used to great extent during WWII in
Nazi gas chambers which were part of the final solution. These gas chambers could run through tens of thousands of Jews in mere days which is
why it was the choice of the Nazis. These gas chambers horrified the world when they were discovered as the scale of death they were used for was

occupation, citizenship or their political views, every Jew was to be terminated. They only had one reason to kill them, and that reason was because
they were Jews. New arrivers that were unable to work such as, ill, elderly, pregnant women, and small children were automatically sent to the gas

Contraception In The Twentieth Century
In the twentieth century men relied on condoms made from animal intestines, and women relied on douches that were made by household items.
Pennyroyal and savin were used as methods of abortion by being inserted into the vagina. Contraception in the twentieth century was nothing close to
the way it is now. Contraception is the purposeful use of artificial methods or techniques to prevent pregnancy. In the twentieth century there was a
movement to make birth control available for women all around. The birth control movement which was led by Margaret Sanger played a huge role in
the twentieth century and in bringing attention to the women's health movement and their right to have control over their own bodies. According to
the article, Ancient Chinese Contraceptive Choices, long before the movement Chinese women drank mercury and lead which often led to death

times there would not be a trial, like there would be if it had gone through the courts. The mob would dictate whether they were guilty or not and
determine the punishment they would receive. People could be lynched for a crime they did not commit or because they were affiliated with someone

Early Twentieth Century
Music plays a large part in all cultures throughout the world. Music is used in varying ways, such as ceremonially, sacredly, and secularly. Pieces and
genres of music are reflections of their time and society. Music has been used throughout its existence to inspire people, to do bigger and better things
or to learn how to inspire other people. Music is as complex and diverse as the people who listen to it and the time periods from which it comes. With
the expansion of technology in the world, came the expansion of music sound, view, and instrumentation. The Early Twentieth Century brought with it
a new sound and an expanding ability to experiment with music. Like all music, music of the Early Twentieth Century had its roots from elsewhere
places. All of the various types of music from the Early Twentieth Century built on each other. The development of one led to the development of the

The twentieth century impacted human kind in ways that those alive before the year 1900 never could have imagined. Those living during the final
hundred years of the millennium saw incredible advances in science and technology that elevated our quality of life to the standard we enjoy today.
Like so many other trades, the music industry benefited greatly from these new innovations. In turn, this new technology altered the sound of music:
changing how it was performed, recorded, and sold. Glenn McDonald of Echo Nest tracked nine audio attributes across seventy years of music to

It is these new ways of producing or generating sound that appeal and gain credibility in the eyes of the public that are responsible for the change in
popular music. The growing trends in overall speed, energy, noise level, and accuracy of the beat can be attributed to innovations such as the magnetic
tape recorder, electric guitar, synthesizer, and many others not listed in this paper. As a consequence of this new technology, we lose some of the raw
sound of the past like the blemishes that can be found in older recordings and the slower and choppier sound of the popular music of yesterday. This

America's Nineteenth Century racial attitudes carried over into the Twentieth Century. And, it would take more then the first half of a century to begin
to turn them around too. But, it is here in the Twentieth Century that saw some of the greatest advancement to begin to equalize educational
opportunities. The examination of integrating education in Twentieth Century America begins with the effects of the Supreme Court known as Plessy
v. Ferguson (1896), reaches midpoint with another Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Ed (1953). The transition from "separate is equal" to
"separate is not equal" is made in the Twentieth Century. The struggle does not end with the Brown case, nor does it today. Martin Luther King and
others believed segregating education was in the best interest to every segment of American Society. That great American founding dream that "All
Men Were Created Equal" would be incomplete until this could be achieved. Equalizing educational opportunities is necessary for an equal democratic
America. There is no Amendment, law, or even deadly Civil War that can truly bring a fair, just, equal democratic America. Equality can only be gained

Role Of Women In The Twentieth-Century
The role of women during the sixteenth and early twentieth–century were controversial. Women were perceived as the weaker gender, both physically
and mentally. Women were limited in what they could do. Women were constrained by not getting the same opportunities as men, however, they took
pride in themselves and in each other. The relationship between men and women were tense, as men were seen as more superior due to their long
history of higher hierarchy . Most women were not allowed to have education and were not allowed to enter in the professions they desired. They were
allowed only to do housework; they were often maids or housewives. Women seem to struggle and suffer most of the time. The sixteenth through early
twentieth–century brought a new way of thinking towards women. Individuals believed both men and women deserve equality. Women authors
discussed the roles of women and what they should and should not do. Women were to be educated and to have social etiquette. Throughout the
sixteenth century, women wanted to change the way they were being viewed as. In the early twentieth–century, women wanted equality through
physical work, and they wanted to live up to their rational potential. Throughout the majority of Europe, women were overseen in society and regarded
as a lower status from their lack of knowledge. Women were depicted as following an immoral role model rather than being educated. Although some

By the turn of the Twentieth Century, the American Indian population had been dramatically reduced, not only due to the policies adopted by the US

Cultural Uniformity In The Twentieth Century

  • 1. Cultural Uniformity In The Twentieth Century In the early twentieth century, the United States was quickly evolving to become a nation of prestige on the global stage. Yet the young nation lagged in cultural uniformity which its counterparts in Europe had been developing since the birth of the first European kingdoms. The progression in cultural philosophy further evolved with significant cultural movements such as Humanism and the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, Romanticism then Realism, and then the twentieth century's Modernism. The United States did witness the effects of these movements but their effects lagged in significance because of the great social divide the nation faced and still faces. The nation is home to a bountiful population that lacks cultural uniformity because of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... DuBois and Alfred Rosenberg both touch upon the racial issues in the conflicting rural and urban communities, in their pieces "Of Work and Wealth" and "Myth of the Twentieth Century" respectively. DuBois writes about the East St. Louis Race Riot of 1917 that was a result of black workers replacing white workers that were unionizing and protesting. DuBois expresses how the race institutions and disfranchisement promote racial tensions that unilaterally destroy any sense of cultural unity in the Middle West and throughout the nation. Mr. DuBois encourages the blacks to not give back because they were guaranteed the same rights after the Civil War and that the disenfranchisement through local laws such as those of Jim Crow would serve as a lesson to the nation. He states at the end of his piece about the riots that the "American Negroes stand today as the greatest strategic group in the world. Their services are indispensable, their temper and character are fine, and their souls have seen a vision more beautiful than any other mass of workers. They may win back culture to the world if their strength can be used with the forces of the world that make for justice and not against the hidden hates that fight for barbarism," expressing that what they stand for may serve as morale for the world and that life in the urban centers during this period tended to be full of chaos and cultural ...

Even though the United States of America and its citizens have undergone many modern changes since slavery and its abolition, the effects of enslavement and oppression are still evident today. Many works such as Rituals of Blood: The Consequences ofSlavery in Two American Cities, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, and Nothing But Freedom: Emancipation and Its Legacy all explain a common conclusion; the chattel enslavement of African–Americans left a profound effect on former slaves and their descenders.

The house slave seemed to have a much better lifestyle than the slave who was forced to work in the field from sunup to sundown. As a result, this initiated a feeling of jealousy in the field slave and sense of arrogance in the house slave. Mostly the house slave was fair–skinned with "closer to straight" textured hair because they were usually a product of the master's affairs with his property. While the field slave was a much darker tone and hair texture "closer to their African roots". Therefore, colorism in the African–American culture developed.

Wars, conflicts, and genocides plagued many parts of the world during that time especially in Europe which became the main battlefield for two major wars. It is certainly the worst period of human kind's history. Millions lost their lives in what became the deadliest period of humanity. Beyond its dreadful aspect, this period showed how radical nationalism combined with deep imperial rivalries and "frantic scrambles for land and resources" came close to wipe out a whole generation and may be the whole world.

Battle for lands and territories As mentioned earlier, Europeans powers and Japan start looking for land and resources in other places. "The period between 1870 and 1945 was characterized by sustained and intensive imperial activity that remapped significant portions of the globe". In what became a fierce competition for land and resources, the "territorial accumulation became both a symbolic and material index of national power and international standing: advocates of colonialism in recently unified nation–states of Germany and Italy as well as in Meiji Japan gave particularly strong expression to the idea that an extensive empire was a crucial indicator of a nation's strength and modernity." This element describes the feeling inside European powers about their colonial policy. A deep nationalistic feeling about the competition for land was prevailing. New powerful empires were built thanks to the land and resources controlled in other parts of the world. The German empire was an example. But "World War 1 ((1914 –1918) marked the end of this empire: some German colonies were seized by rivals at the outset of the war, while the remaining territories were redistributed among France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan under the provision of Article 22 of the Treaty of Versaille."

However, it did not take long before his words had somehow been transformed into the most famous phrase in Canadian history, "The twentieth century belongs to Canada." His words showed great confidence and pride in the actions that Canada was supposedly to take to fulfill his vision.

The way the government of Canada handled the issues of the First Nations, effectively demonstrated the fact that the government regarded the immediate problems of the First Nations as a matter of indifference. The efforts of Canada persistently indicated that unless the First Nations held any benefit to the expansion of the economical, political or social aspects of their government, they would be overlooked merely because of their cultural origins. Often times, when it came to the discussion on equality within Canada, the actions of Canada were compared to those of the United States, and often times, a comment is made stating that the United States could learn from Canada's example when it came to racial harmony. However, this idea was often criticized as the racial problems within Canada were just as severe. The respect and the livelihood of the First Nation were violated for years even before the start of the twentieth century. However, the issues of the First Nations were hardly ever brought to light by other Canadians because these issues were often hidden deep within the reserves that these First Nations were forced into. From taking their land away to disregarding their cultures, the government rarely ever acknowledged the needs of the First Nations until they could no longer be ignored.

  • 5. Twentieth Century Isolationism During the Twentieth Century, there were several events that caused a breakdown in people's relationships. The horrors of World War One caused T.S. Eliot to study isolationism between people and culture. He moved to London from The United States and dissolved all ties with America. In addition, Langston Hughes wrote about separation of races and the problems with prejudice at the time, not only against blacks but against immigrants, as well. E.E. Cummings wrote about isolationism in a unique way, not even giving the characters real names. Instead, he used indefinite pronouns. Theracism and isolationism harshly affected several men and women during the Twentieth Century, which led several artists to incorporate political views into their artwork. ...

In many of Hughes' works, he gives advice for those who are suffering from racism and isolationism, which is to not let anything get in the way of dreams. Hughes expressed this idea in his poem titled "Mother to Son". In the poem, Hughes states, " . . . don't you turn back. Don't you set down on the steps" (Baym, 2013, p. 1039). Many people that the racism and isolationism affected would turn to giving up on almost everything in their lives, but Hughes gives advice to those who wanted to give up by saying to never give up. Hughes wanted the society to know that they shouldn't let the racism affect their lives, but to ignore the racism and to keep moving forward. In his novel, Not Without Laughter, Hughes says, "Ever'thing there is but lovin' leaves a rust on yo' soul.

Technology unquestionably created changes in every area of our lives, particularly throughout the last two hundred years, and in no industry is that more clear than the field of medicine.

With HIV being a major global epidemic, we are still seeing high numbers and new cases arise every year. In the twentieth century the syndrome was the most famous epidemic and still is considered to be so today with many people dying from the disease. In the healthcare community the top priority for HIV/ AIDS for both periods have been prevention and access to treatment. Researchers continue to push forward toward a cure for this epidemic as they did in the twentieth century through clinical trials and exploration. We also see similarities when it comes to the cost of health care treatment. We are still seeing today how health care is a distress to many people who are not able to afford it just as it was prohibitive to persons without medical insurance in the past (Anderson, 2007). The medical advancements and "improvements in twentieth century medicine involved inventions of a vast number of technologies and medical equipment for diagnosis and treatment (Anderson, 2007. p 268). These medical advancements certainly influenced health and medicine today.

Accordingly, Spain sent forces to dispel this rebellion, but in vain. Early in the year of 1898, the ship USS Maine was sent to Cuba, and sunk on February 15 of that same year. About a week prior to the USS Maine's sinking, a letter, written by Enrique Dupuy de LГґme, and famously called the De LГґme Letter2, was released by U.S. newspapers. The letter slandered U.S. President William McKinley, the incumbent at the time, as well as his methods of dealing with both foreign and domestic affairs. Indeed, many, including McKinley, saw this letter as a large sign of disrespect, especially when coming from the Spanish ambassador to the United States. This, coupled with the sinking of the USS Maine, raised the concern of a possible war with Spain. And, as such, Spain declared war on America on April 24, 1898, with the United States following with a declaration of their own the very next day. McKinley's first decision was not to go into war, but he was forced into it through the pressures of the Democratic Party and his inability to provide sufficient answers concerning the sinking of the USS Maine3.

  • 9. Twentieth Century America Faderman takes a decidedly social–constructionist analysis as she examines lesbian life in Twentieth Century America, arguing from the start that its definition has less to do with innate same–sex attraction than with external sociopolitical influences. It is apparent that in the debate between the "essentialist lesbians" and "existentially lesbians" she offers no apologies (and plenty of reasons) in siding with the latter. Not only does she explore how the sub–culture continually responds to external pressures such as conservative politics and institutional biases but deeply analyzes how then the community expands and contracts to its marginalization and oppression. For instance, she describes numerous times (such as the butch/femme role enactment and the demand for a regulated sexual intercourse between women in the 1970's) when the lesbian community – and corresponding social movement – enacts various border patrolling and internal policing to maintain its strict identity as women to keep the pressure and agents of the patriarchy outside. It is this policing and its motives I find so applicable to my work. The lesbian community has undergone many tribulations as a targeted... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 11. The Beginning Of The Twentieth Century The beginning of the twentieth century marked a significant event not just in the changes of ideology, technology, but also the way artists approach art. Communism and Fascism were on the rise and technological advances held strong since the industrial revolution. However, "The need for a wholesale new approach to art in the nineteenth century arose as the traditional forms of art were borne down on by new conditions and experiences." (21) became apparent. To satisfy this need artists took many different approaches, but three most significant they approaches this issue involve: the rejection of traditional art, protesting status quo, and the "non–western" approach. Although each approach is rapidly different from the other, they share the same bond of testing the boundary of art and at times ignoring it completely. This resulted in artwork becoming more powerful, meaningful, and influential. At the turn of the nineteenth century artist decided to approach art in a new way, meaning they started to reject traditional art. Artists craved new art to better represent the new conditions and experiences that were felt. This was described by ``The need for a wholesale new approach to art in the nineteenth century arose as the traditional forms of art were borne down on by new conditions and experiences." (21). In particular the experience of technology like the world has never seen before, where traditional art didn't seem to be able to produce content that satisfy these new ...

We will utilize your ability; we well have you representation; we will all unite together and build a substantial structure on the basis of co–operation.'" Unification was essential if the oil business was to be sparred recurring periods of chaos and prostration.(6) Probably the most effective secret deals done by Rockefeller and his partners were with the railroads. Rockefeller saw that he could not compete with the refineries in New York, Philadelphia, and oil cities unless he could even up the conditions by freight concession. He demanded a lower rate by asking for a rebate from Michigan Central Railroad.(7) These "in harmony" deals meant those refineries and oil traders not "in harmony" with Standard Oil would find that railroads would refuse to move their oil, whatever the price.

  • 14. Slavery During The Twentieth Century Jeremy Black has recently stated 'slavery played a major role in the twentieth century.' The twentieth century, he argues, witnessed a highpoint in slavery as it rose to a new peak. He defines slavery as being 'public' which differs from the 'conventional account of enslavement, economic exploitation and racism.' For Black, the conventional account of slavery has been 'easier to define and confront.' This dissertation through the work of three authors: Buchi Emecheta, Ayi Kwei Armah and Tayeb Salih aims to act as a corrective to approaches similar to Black's theory, that slavery has been easily defined, by demonstrating the tension between remembering and forgetting history. The twentieth century narratives trace the history of theAtlantic slave trade through contemporary Africa, reflecting the role of slavery in present day. The works unearth remnants of the past in order to locate African memories in literature and bring them forth from the margins of history. Each author originates from different geographical locations in Africa, which allows various forms of slavery to emerge in the narratives, representing slavery as continuing to haunt the African psyche. In tracing transatlantic slave trade literature, Achille Mbembe states, 'there is, properly speaking no African memory' presenting the void of African voices in the history of the slave trade.

The lack of a universally accepted definition for the term has meant that it can and has been applied to a wide variety of political contexts. Fascism developed from the destruction caused by the First World War. Its origins can be traced, however, to the intellectual revolt against liberalism in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century.

Although it was a complex procedure, Hitler proved himself to be both a skilled political manipulator and an original military strategist. But above all, Hitler was a rabid ideologist. As a result of his actions, the Hitler state destroyed the legacy of imperial and Weinmar Germany and undermined the humane values of German culture. Unlike in Italy, the rise of fascism in Germany occurred in one of the world's most advanced economies, for the German modernisation and industrialisation process during the nineteenth century had helped to create a powerful state. Political extremism in Germany developed further from the failure of the state and society to manage the complex problems arising from the country's sudden defeat at the end of the First World War in 1918. Although the First World War created the necessary conditions to enable the rise ofNazism, Nazi ideology was derived from the intellectual and political underworld of pre–1914 Germany. Before 1914, this far–right ideology which was heavily focused on anti–Semitism, remained on the political fringe and had little influence on domestic policies. Hitler himself, for example, although later greatly influenced by the Austrian anti–Semitism of Karl Leuger (1844–1910), was a failed art student and architect whose personal apathy prevented him from enjoying the bourgeois (upper class) lifestyle that he craved.

World War I, World War II, and the Cold War were wars that dominated this century, though there were many other, smaller, battles that took place throughout these years. Powerful regimes that had been around for hundreds of years came crashing down with new nations rising up in their place, dozens of peace treaties were signed to appease those that had fought, and new political powers rose up and the rights of the people began to change.

It can be considered one of the most convenient household products that were ever made. Although people may not use them as much today, they were very significant to the women in the early twentieth century.Vacuum cleaners symbolized cleanliness, the cult of domesticity, and training to be a "great housewife". Women were pressured to live in a domestically oppressed household because of gender roles/stereotypes and the influence of patriarchy. The ideology behind both Hoover advertisements were to target women and men. The primary gender roles of women in the early twentieth century were to stay at home, cook, clean, and tend to their children. Hoover portrays what looks like two well–dressed, middle class, married white women who look very content. These advertisements reinforce the sex–role stereotype that every happy lady was a housewife. Since they displayed women as housewives in advertisements, it was easier to connect and convince their target audience to buy their products. Their slogan was, "She'll be happier with a Hoover", which meant that if you gave her a Hoover you were giving her the best.

The relationship between men and women were tense, as men were seen as more superior due to their long history of higher hierarchy .
