How Have New Emphases And Interpretative Lenses Is History
How have new emphases and interpretative lenses emphasizing history from below affected the
more traditional subfields of political, military, diplomatic, and sectional history and how do they
affect world history. During the past century these four subfields have evolved within themselves to
rise from their traditional methodologies of study to incorporating social and cultural historiography
to better analyze their subject matter; while turning from an inner study, as it applies to the United
States, towards a more world view. The authors of this week's reading project's a theme or
commonality that has affected their subfield from the turn of the century until now. They all mention
Frederick Jackson Turner's reading of his famous paper, "The Significance of the Frontier in
American History," where he "argued that frontier settlement, and not institutional and spiritual
inheritance from the Old World, accounted for the origins and peculiar development of American
democracy." This was the first time interpretations of social and cultural were utilized in the studies
of particular subfields that started the Progressive era that lasted until the start of World War II.
During this period studies were from the "bottom–up" versus the old "top–to–bottom" approach;
going from the great men and great events, to the study of the ordinary people and incorporating
previously neglected groups like women and black. Following the war the counter–Progressive or

Pipeline Case
Energy East is a proposed 4,600–kilometre pipeline by the Calgary–based energy corporation
TransCanada. It would stretch from Alberta to New Brunswick, an export terminal. The pipeline, if
built could carry up to 1.1 Million barrels of crude oil per day. The pipeline would be built by
transforming an existing pipeline and adding more to the pipeline. Travelling through these pipelines
would be a cocktail of toxic chemicals including Benzene a known poisonous chemical, refined into

An Assortment of Memories, a Myriad of Histories
American society has traditionally been referred to as a "melting pot," welcoming people of all
races, religions, and heritages to enjoy the "freedom" that only America could provide. That was not
always the case, as incidents such as the internment of Japanese Americans at Manzanar and the
Lewis and Clark journey along the Columbia River exhibited American racial intolerance and
demonstrated the inherent racism of the Manifest Destiny–an ideal upon which this nation was
founded. Today, government agencies such as the National Park Service (NPS) aim to repair the
United States' negative reputation by creating national historic sites, which serve as either a
celebration of American history or an apologetic reminder of events that can never ... Show more

This is a major reason why the National Park Service essentially contradicts itself and fails in its
goals to create a unified history for all Americans. The treatment of memory at the Manzanar
historical site specifically shows that the way in which the National Park Service treats historical
sites containing foreign heritage will never be able to create a single, shared history for all
Americans. One source of tension derivative of this project is the grossly generic incorporation of
specific stories within Manzanar in its conversion from purely a site of tragic memory to a site of
National memory. The production of this national memory tends to "absorb the meaning of
individual and group histories, especially when that group represents an ethnic minority" (Hayashi
55). This absorption ignores specific stories of Japanese immigrant experience at the site, creating a
universally incorrect generic representation of the experience and painting an incomplete picture of
the events that occurred there. To paint an incomplete picture of a historical site is to contest the
memories of the ethnic minorities who were there. When asked about this limited representation of
Japanese immigrant history represented at the site, Jerry Rogers, Associate Director of Cultural
Resources for the National Park Service, stated

Patriarchy And The Challenge Of Feminism Essay
Judith Bennett is a Medievalist Historian who has focused much of her research on
English/European women and feminist history (1–2). In her book History Matters: Patriarchy and
the Challenge of Feminism, she argues that feminism and history, specifically women's, need to be
more closely linked. This link, she argues, comes from taking theories and methods from one field
and applying them to the other in order to create a more indepth analysis of both. Bennett states in
her introduction that this text "...builds steadily from problem to solution to elaboration," and though
this statement holds, due to the brevity of this book, many aspects of this text are not well defined,
explored, or analyzed (4–5).
Throughout this text, Bennett uses feminist language, and indeed the word 'feminism' without
properly defining the term. It is true that this book is aimed at an audience that is likely to known
these terms. Yet, by not giving a definition Bennett opens the floor for radically different
interpretations based upon where the reader's definition falls on the spectrum, from hating men and
wanting female superiority to wanting equality and justice for all regardless of sex, that defines the
various 'schools' of feminism. Despite this lack of clarity, many of the arguments that Bennett makes
are still valid. Specifically, Bennett notes that the language of feminist and women's history has
changed from the biting and often uncomfortable rhetoric of 1970s feminism to more neutral

The War Of Canada During The Great War
At the end of the Great War, Canada plunged into economic darkness; the once–powerful war
industry was no longer needed and factories shut down all over the country, causing unemployment
for civilians and veterans alike to skyrocket. This reflected on the military of Canada; vehicles that
were destroyed were not replaced; the number of permanent forces and militia barely grew. Canada's
military saw a period of inactivity that would even cause land, sea and air components merged as a
singular entity due to the Great Depression's effect on the military budget. However, the peace was
not to last. As Adolf Hitler's Germany appeared and showed the world its intentions, nations
gathered and Canada committed an important act demonstrating its independence as a nation;
Canada declared war. Viewed for a long time as a British colony even after Confederation, Canada
took a stand against a virtually universally–recognized evil alongside the major powers of the world
at the time. Canada's participation in conflicts in many different operations throughout WWII
demonstrated its military effectiveness, but its important role in the D–Day landings defined
Canada's military competency through the crucial Operation Overlord, dubbed by some as the
beginning of the end of the Second World War, in Normandy. Canada's role in Operation Overlord in
Normandy solidified the military structure that is our modern military and sculpted the image of an

Women During World War 2
It is safe to say that the Canadian war efforts in World War 2 are something Canada should take
much pride in. We united as one strong nation and showed the world how useful and powerful we
could be on the world stage. These efforts were also a first step for women working for the Armed
Forces in Canada. It allowed women to break many boundaries for themselves as before the war,
they lived in a world in which they were expected to stay at home and manage the household.
Women worked hard and courageously for Canada and to show the world how strong women can
be. Although very successful, Women in the Armed Forces and on the Front Line contributed

Initially, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) refused to recruit women because it was considered
"expensive". They estimated that housing women per capita would cost about $430 compared to
men which was $235. The difference in cost estimations was due to "necessity of special provisions.
After much heated discussions, the RCAF women's division (RCF–WD) was created on July 2nd,
1941. Here, women were given clerical, administrative and support roles to allow as they were not
allowed it be trained as flying instructors or combatants. They were employed to allow men in those
positions to obtain pilot training. Similar to the CWAC slogan, the RCAF–WD's slogan was "We
serve that men may fly". Although their roles were very restricting, there were many bright women
that broke the boundaries put in their paths. Take Elsie MacGill for instance. She was the first
female aircraft designer in the world and was nicknamed the "Queen of the Hurricanes" for her work
in aircraft designing. She was a major component in the team that designed the Hawker Hurricane
during World War 2, which is considered the most historic British aircraft until the present day. She
also designed many aircraft accessories during World War 2 such as the de–icing and skies to assist
planes in cold weather while flying. She and many others like her paved the path for women and the
future of women in the Air Force. Over the course of the war and because of achievement from
people like Elsie MacGill, women were slowly but surely being taken more seriously and given
roles such as parachute riggers, laboratory assistants and electrical and mechanical trades roles.
Women's fantastic contributions to the Air Force helped greatly towards Canada's already successful

Main Purpose Of The Market
A market is actually a system where all the participants are engaged in exchanging goods, services
or informations. The main purpose of these exchanges is the profit. A market is called efficient when
supply and demand are equal and the price that the consumers pay for goods is equilibrium with the
cost arising from producer 's economic activities.
There are some goods which are non exclusive and non–rival in consumption such as Safety and
Environment. These are called Public goods.
However in shipping market participants are not reluctant to invest or to provide for measures on
safety and environment as they will not have any profit which is the main purpose of the market.
When market fails to control abuses of monopoly power, fail to provide all the necessary public
goods or fail to provide enough merit goods then it is called a 'market failure '.
The 'market failure ' led the state to intervene in international shipping in order to improve safety,
protect the environment and increase market 's efficiency.
There are many economic theories regarding the State intervention, into the market and the concept
of 'market failure '. This essay is analysing some of these theories in order to understand the
rationale for the state intervention, especially in the market of international shipping and maritime
transport. It is analysing also concepts of externalities which arise from market failure and the role
of state in providing support to navigation through many different ways.

New Orleans : The Confederate Era Monuments
New Orleans Monument Takedown The confederate era monuments in New Orleans have been a
hot topic of debate. People on both sides feel passionately about whether these local historic
landmarks should remain standing or be torn down because of the atrocities the men they honor
committed well over one hundred years ago. Whether over racial or personal beliefs there are strong
motives on either side. As of now the future of the cityscape lays in limbo. Will history prevail over
emotion? In 2015 there was a racially motivated shooting at a historic Emanuel African Methodist
Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina (Horowitz, Corasaniti, and Southall). There was a

brief chapters explore many disparate facets of
American culture. The topics which he covers range from the new grammar, the rise of the candy
bar and the moon landing, to the development of the cash register (Minskoff, 1973). He does not
relate those facts simply because they are themselves interesting, amusing and enlightening – though
they are that, too. He uses them all to help ask the questions that he strives to answer in most of his

makes history into a kind of national autobiography, reminding the people that they have made
themselves what theyare.

Afghanistan and along the way I asked her questions about Texas. To the best of my knowledge
Vanna answered "who are these people, these Texans", what do Texans tell us about America, and
what she thought of Texas. We talked about how her military experience shaped her conceptions of
Texas. In a setting such as this one and her experiences combined she had moments where she
seemed more comfortable and opened, and other moments that were difficult to get through. After
this oral interview experience I feel as though I know how I could use oral histories in my
classroom. During the beginning of the interview I asked Vanna "What do you think the difference is
between West Texas and Texas from other regions of the state?" Her answer consisted of a lot of
"umms", but I think she answers the question "Who are these people, these Texans" in this statement
"So, it's kinda like our own little world. And. But the people, the people I don't know. I guess it's.
The people are like, are more like small town people, there umm. I guess more like hospitable."

Nomads In South American History
All along, history has been written through the eyes of Westerners. Indigenous inhabitants who did
not use the conventional way of recording events, that is, writing, has been overlooked from time
and time. Nomads for instance, orally passed information from one generation to another, but
without actual tangible evidence where information can be verified. It also does not help their case
that we tend to focus on history that are agricultural but most importantly, has resonance with the
modern world, which Nomads, both are not (Dickinson, January 2017). Other Natives like the Inca

Also, some expert's claim that African Empires were contained within lands and their ship–based
exports were only to Europe, especially after colonization. However, contrary to popular belief,
Westerners were not the leaders of navigational progress and European ships of the 15th century,
were not superior than those centuries earlier. Navigational knowledge of Spaniards of this time was
elementary and seamen were considerably ignorant on navigation according to Columbus (Van
Sertima, p.57). Normally, I would not generalize and that there may be some exceptions, but
Columbus is said to have spearheaded trans–Atlantic navigation, thus, him saying that Europeans
were poor in navigation ought to have considerable weight. Europeans came into possession of such
skills during the Renaissance (Daniels/ Hyslop, p.) of the 14th century. Such maritime technologies
necessary to cross the Atlantic has been available to other non–Western "civilizations" suchlike the
system of longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates that has been available in China since 100 B.C.,
lateen sail hoisted by Spain and Portugal which came from the Arabs, and the astrolabe, which
originated in ancient Greeks, but was diffused and developed for years also came from the Arabs
(Van Sertima, pg.57). Zheng He, a successful and famous Chinese commander is said to have
navigated decades before Columbus, judging from the year Ma Huan's compilation finished in 1451
(Mills, p.137–141). Furthermore, Africans themselves navigated the Atlantic prior to Christ (Van

Emperor Jimmu
Emperor Jimmu, the first Emperor of Japan, officially formed Japan in 660 Before Common Era
(BCE.) Throughout Japan's 2600 years of history, there have been many wars and conflicts fought
across Japan and the Pacific region. Through the ages, Japan has always had an Emperor at the head
of its government, although this role has changed through time. Japan saw many economic changes,
the biggest of which occurred after World War II (WWII). With Japan's history, woven in war
throughout the Pacific has become a model of strong political standing and near immeasurable
economic growth. Japanese chronicles record Jimmu's expedition heading eastward from Hyuga in
607 BCE, continuing along Japan's inland sea, subduing tribes as he went, and ending in Yamato,
where he centered his power (Jimmu Legendary Emperor of Japan, 2016.) Emperor Jimmu,
formally Jimmu Tenno, is said to be a descendent of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu. The current

Hazardous Materials Incident Response Essay
Hazardous materials can be important in everyday life when properly handled. However, when
improperly handled, they can result in injury, death, and destruction as well as have lingering effects
that may last for years to come. To address the risk of an uncontrolled hazardous materials release,
there must be a coordinated effort to identify, locate, and quantify the hazardous materials in a
particular location (Drexel University Safety & Health, 2001). Typically, industry and government
agree that a hazardous materials incident is one where

Hazardous materials releases can occur in any location and time. The potential of a release is
dependent on the volume, distribution, and use of the hazardous substances within a particular area.
Hazard identification, planning, and response preparedness is an ongoing process and must be
addressed through a cooperative partnership between the public and private sectors (Washoe County
LEPC, 2006).
The NIMS model of incident Command Systems (ICS) will be used as the framework for all
responses to hazardous material releases. This will allow flexibility to rapidly activate and establish
an organizational structure around the functions that need to be performed to efficiently mitigate an

In addition, clearly defined roles and responsibilities will be established for each collaborating
partner involved with hazardous materials releases. For example, these roles and responsibilities

This settlement became the capital of Acadia and would remain so until the expulsion in 1713,
interrupted only for three years, from 1610–1613, when Port Royal briefly fell under British rule.
Although the population of Port Royal grew slowly at first, the French settlers lived well, farming
and hunting. However, Port Royal was difficult to navigate, due to the constant flooding and
unstable building materials.
Although [in 1687] Port Royal is the largest settlement, it contains only nine or ten buildings the
others being barns. All the houses are low, made of pieces of wood ... covered with thatch.
Despite the fertile ground, providing the Acadians with a diverse diet, it would be a struggle to
defend Port Royal in times of discord. The fort itself also often fell into disrepair, as it was difficult
to maintain when flooding constantly eroded the riverbank. Due to this fertile ground, Port Royal
became desirable to the growing British empire. Despite the failing fort, the British settlers became
interested in Port Royal and realized the potential of the marshland. "Farming was the main, but not
only, occupation of the Acadians." These people successfully grew a diverse diet including root
vegetables, grains, fruit, and other vegetables, as well as raising pigs, cattle, and sheep. This aided in
flourishment of the Acadian people but also turned the settlement into a potential conquest for the
English Colonies.

History : A Very Short Introduction Essay
In History: A Very Short Introduction, Arnold weaves together various anecdotes including a 14th
century murder, an epic regarding the corybantic slaughter of cats in France, the varying accounts of
a Sojourner Truth speech, and many more stories to emphasize why history matters and the
problems inherent in its recording. Throughout his novel, he contests the stance taken by
Thucydides, a notable Greek historian. Thucydides lived from 460 BCE to 400 BCE and was
famous for his work, The History of the Peloponnesian War, which recounted the conflict between
Athens and Sparta. Thucydides firmly believed that history was meant to solely record the stories of
politics, the state and great men – a belief that John Arnold throughly opposes. With his beliefs and
narratives, he created a precedent that negatively influenced historiography for many years to come,
for historians chose to disregard the lives and stories of the common man. It was this precedent that
the historian Arnaldo Momigliano referred to as Thucydides' Tower. "Arnaldo Momigliano (a
modern author) remarked that having shut himself up in this tower of political history, Thucydides
wanted to confine all of us there too" (34). The idea of Thucydides' Tower itself refers to a
metaphorical prison out of which historians could only see politics, war and the actions of great
men; Looking out from the tower, their vision was far too narrow to see the lives and stories of the

Abstract: Life itself arose from the oceans. The ocean is vast, covering 140 million square miles,
some 72 per cent of the earth's surface. Not only has the oceans always been a prime source of
nourishment for the life it helped generate, but from earliest recorded history it has served for trade
and commerce, adventure and discovery. It has kept people apart and brought them together.
Humans have always had a close relationship with the aquatic environment, including the early use
of the sea for food harvesting and communication. Today, the sea is an important component of the
transportation system, with large amounts of cargo and passengers. This chapter provides a short
introduction to ships and shipping also introduces the environmental impacts related to ship
operations. Ship transportation has increased tremendously since the industrial revolution, which has
resulted in increased emissions due to shipping and increased stresses on the environment.

Rousseau’s Second Discourse
The last paragraph of the prelude to the Second Discourse is an impassioned appeal whose scope
transcends the boundaries of time and space alike, calling for readers to pay attention to the history
of man and society that Rousseau is on the verge of putting forth. Beginning with this authorial
intrusion–a form of literary apostrophe–the essay adopts historical writing as its primary narrative
mode. This method stands in direct contrast with the approach Thomas Hobbes takes in his
Leviathan, in which the Englishman sets out to prove propositions as one might do geometrically, by
preceding from valid arguments and sound premises. Rousseau's rejection of philosophy, at least as
he understands it in the Second Discourse, embodies the emphasis ... Show more content on

Most importantly for Rousseau, however, is not necessarily how history lets him see how men might
have been or how history lets him strike a balance between grasping the intricacy of human history
and succeeding fluidly from one thought to another; it is how framing his work in such a way lets
him give the greatest demonstrative proof of the point he makes. The first part of the work consists
in a history of mankind until the institution of the social contract, and it reads easily and freely, just
as man in Rousseau's conception was in those days. The second part of the Second Discourse, which
deals with the critique of the social contract itself, however, reads much more heavily, as if
Rousseau were attempting to give the reader a taste of the gravity the social contract itself imposes
upon man. The opening lines of the second half already launch his scathing attack on civil society
by associating this notion with a man who takes advantage of his fellow men:
The first person who, having enclosed a plot of land, took it into his head to say this is mine and
found people simple enough to believe him, was the true founder of civil society. What crimes,

"The fort was built in an irregular pentagon design which is still considered one of the finest
examples of Napoleonic military architecture in existence; the Pentagon in our nation's capital is
modeled after it. It was unusual in that it was erected over a sandy foundation with little solid rock
underneath, but it never settled or sagged. The armament for it was formidable: three hundred and
twelve seacoast and garrison guns, six field pieces, and one hundred and thirty–four other heavy
guns, all to be manned by a garrison of twelve hundred men. The design also provided for a
complete three hundred and sixty degree defensive pattern, thus eliminating the possibility of land
attack. During the years, muzzle loading cannons gave way to rifled cannons which in turn were
replaced by "disappearing" twelve inch guns. There was even a "torpedo" launching casemate."

Her experience is reminiscent of the communal experience of the Partition by the population during
the period of 1947–1952. The young girl's suicide has a strong link to the event in Thoa Khalsa
where close to a hundred women drowned themselves by jumping into a well supposedly 'preferring'
death rather than being 'dishonoured' by the men from the opposing side. She relates the events in a
somewhat cool and detached demeanour as if it had nothing to do with the particular bubble which
was her life.
Maya Rani then comments that little over a year after the Partition she got married "and then
completely forgot about Pakistan" (Butalia, 2000, p. 267). However, how much of that which she
did not elaborate on or 'forgot' is because of the imagined community's sense of nationhood and the
unspoken agreement of communal silence on the issue of the abuse of women's rights, rape and the
abduction and 'recovery' of women across borders during and after the Partition. From her point of
view the whole process of hatred and ethnic cleansing was instigated by the English, by

Alistair Macleod- Modern World Versus Traditional World Essay
Modern World versus Traditional World
The stories from Alistair Macleod's The Lost Salt Gift of Blood are often related to the lives of the
people of the Maritimes who are commonly miners, fishermen and farmers. The author repeatedly
examines similar themes and issues in his short stories such as isolation, choices versus
consequences and the concept of dying culture. However, the most prominent theme deals with the
contrast between the rural ways of life and the more modern city life. This theme is not only limited
to the Maritime culture; it is something that can be universally understood. His reason for utilizing
this theme is to prove that the modern way of life is not always better then the traditional ways.

The concept of the traditional world versus the modern world is a global phenomenon which is not
limited to the Maritime Provinces. In the world there are a multitude of cultures. Within any culture
there are deep rooted traditions that affect the way people view education, entertainment, and jobs.
However, due to the advances throughout the world a conflict between modernity and the traditional
world has arose. Throughout Alistair Macleod's The Lost Salt Gift of Blood collection, his stories
portray this conflict in a Maritime setting and mostly represent the conflict between the traditional
world and the modern world. "The Golden Gift of Grey" deals with the same theme; however, it is
set within Northern America. Throughout the story there are examples proving the more traditional
ways of life such as, "They did not know the aching loneliness of which it spoke and when it floated
from the windows of the house on warm summer nights it branded their parents indelibly as
hillbillies and they themselves as well." (Macleod 93) This is a great point, showing that not only
can this theme be prone to the Maritimes but allows readers to consider that the theme is universally

The Excavation Of The Uluburun Shipwreck
In the summer of 1982, a local Turkish sponge diver named Mehmed Cakir set out on a normal
morning dive. In the Bay of Antalya in the Mediterranean Sea near the city of Kas, the diver took a
boat not too far off shore. During his dive, he found what he described as "metal biscuits with ears"
and reported them to the Institute of Nautical Archaeology in Kas. The INA then sent a team to the
shoreline to discover what would end up being the Uluburun, the oldest shipwreck ever excavated.
The site of the Uluburun shipwreck is just 50 meters (160 feet) off the eastern shore of Uluburun,
and 6 miles southeast of the city Kas, Turkey. Excavation of the Uluburun shipwreck began in July
of 1984 and lasted until late 1994. It was split up into eleven campaigns, each lasting around three to
four months. The Institute of Nautical Archaeology controlled the entire excavation; however it was
led by two different nautical archaeologists. Dr. George F. Bass initiated the preliminary campaign
in 1984 and was taken over by Dr. Cemal Pulak in 1985 until 1994. Dr. George F. Bass is recognized
as one of the early practitioners of underwater archaeology. In 1960, Bass was the director of the
first archaeological expedition to entirely excavate an ancient shipwreck, Cape Gelidonya, which is

and relevant health and safety training free of charge. It is then the responsibility of a staff member
to use the PPE and to attend the training. So although the responsibilities are different they are also
related and both need to work in order to ensure a high standard of health and safety. The employer
provides as safe working environment, however if an accident or incident occurs it requires the
efforts of both staff and sometimes others to report this to ensure measures are put into place to

itself with the aid of art and literature, without the help of writing or art, cultural unity would be

Should Historians Take Sides?
Week One Writing Response A. Howard Zinn (Zinn, Introduction) suggests that historians must
inevitably take sides. What does he mean by this? Do you agree or disagree with him? Why?
Throughout the introduction article Howard Zinn elucidates the inevitability of historians taking
sides. Zinn exemplifies his argument by displaying his disagreement of the common history
curriculum taught through the prospective of achievements, not the consequences that occurred to
obtain it. Zinns states, "In other words, my focus is not on the achievements of the heroes of
traditional history, but on all those people who were the victims of those achievements, who suffered
silently or fought back magnificently" (Zinn, Introduction). Zinn's ideology about history is an
argument which I strongly agree upon. Many lessons I've learned as an academic scholar was
through the prospective of achievement, not the pain and suffering caused on the people who were
oppressed during the process. Many people who lived through the achievements of one's conquest,
was their times of difficulty. The inevitable sides appear through ones prospective of a historical
event.
B. According to Thomas Andrews and Flannery Burke ("What Does it Mean to Think Historically"),
what are the five Cs that scholars can draw upon in the study of history? You should briefly define
each of the five Cs in your own words.
Grasping the meaning of historical events is a difficult task. Thomas Andrews and Flannery

The Canadian Armed Forces
As a proud member of the Canadian Armed Forces, I am happy to outline and expound various
organizational aspects which are valuable to our members. While our organization is actively
working to complete organization cultural changes that will see an improvement for all concerned,
five examples of the signs outlined in Management Principles by Carpenter, Bauer, & Erdogan
(2010) will be provided.
The first sign is that of a mission statement. While the CAF does not have an overall mission
statement, as those are reserved for missions themselves, there are three mandates which are
provided as expectations for all soldiers. They are, "protecting Canada and defending our
sovereignty, defending North America in cooperation with the United States, ... Show more content

There are many, many rituals which are all significant in their own ways and for their respective
reasons. The various Army regiments all observe regimental birthdays and days which earned them
honour. The Royal Canadian Air Force celebrates the Battle of Britain and remembers their
comrades' participation in that decisive battle. Furthermore, the Royal Canadian Navy remembers
numerous battles, but most notably the Battle of the Atlantic, which say their largest WWII conflict.
The one day which brings every member, current and past, along with their families together is
November 11th, annually to celebrate Remembrance Day. Nationally, Canada remembers those who
have given their lives in the service of her citizens and those for whom we protect. Consequently,
this is significant to the organizational culture as it reminds new members of the importance of the

How Have New Emphases And Interpretative Lenses Is History How have new emphases and interpretative lenses emphasizing history from below affected the more traditional subfields of political, military, diplomatic, and sectional history and how do they affect world history. During the past century these four subfields have evolved within themselves to rise from their traditional methodologies of study to incorporating social and cultural historiography to better analyze their subject matter; while turning from an inner study, as it applies to the United States, towards a more world view. The authors of this week's reading project's a theme or commonality that has affected their subfield from the turn of the century until now. They all mention Frederick Jackson Turner's reading of his famous paper, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," where he "argued that frontier settlement, and not institutional and spiritual inheritance from the Old World, accounted for the origins and peculiar development of American democracy." This was the first time interpretations of social and cultural were utilized in the studies of particular subfields that started the Progressive era that lasted until the start of World War II. During this period studies were from the "bottom–up" versus the old "top–to–bottom" approach; going from the great men and great events, to the study of the ordinary people and incorporating previously neglected groups like women and black.

An Assortment of Memories, a Myriad of Histories American society has traditionally been referred to as a "melting pot," welcoming people of all races, religions, and heritages to enjoy the "freedom" that only America could provide. That was not always the case, as incidents such as the internment of Japanese Americans at Manzanar and the Lewis and Clark journey along the Columbia River exhibited American racial intolerance and demonstrated the inherent racism of the Manifest Destiny–an ideal upon which this nation was founded. Today, government agencies such as the National Park Service (NPS) aim to repair the United States' negative reputation by creating national historic sites, which serve as either a celebration of American history or an apologetic reminder of events that can never ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is a major reason why the National Park Service essentially contradicts itself and fails in its goals to create a unified history for all Americans. The treatment of memory at the Manzanar historical site specifically shows that the way in which the National Park Service treats historical sites containing foreign heritage will never be able to create a single, shared history for all Americans. One source of tension derivative of this project is the grossly generic incorporation of specific stories within Manzanar in its conversion from purely a site of tragic memory to a site of National memory. The production of this national memory tends to "absorb the meaning of individual and group histories, especially when that group represents an ethnic minority" (Hayashi 55). This absorption ignores specific stories of Japanese immigrant experience at the site, creating a universally incorrect generic representation of the experience and painting an incomplete picture of the events that occurred there. To paint an incomplete picture of a historical site is to contest the memories of the ethnic minorities who were there. When asked about this limited representation of Japanese immigrant history represented at the site, Jerry Rogers, Associate Director of Cultural Resources for the National Park Service, stated ...

YES: John Boswell, from Same–Sex Unions in Premodern Europe NO: Philip Lyndon Reynolds, from "Same–Sex Unions: What Boswell Didn't Find," The Christian Century Professor John Boswell (1947–1994) states that same–sex unions, which dated back to pagan times, existed in medieval Europe until they were gradually done away with by the Christian Church.

  • 13. Patriarchy And The Challenge Of Feminism Essay Judith Bennett is a Medievalist Historian who has focused much of her research on English/European women and feminist history (1–2). In her book History Matters: Patriarchy and the Challenge of Feminism, she argues that feminism and history, specifically women's, need to be more closely linked. This link, she argues, comes from taking theories and methods from one field and applying them to the other in order to create a more indepth analysis of both. Bennett states in her introduction that this text "...builds steadily from problem to solution to elaboration," and though this statement holds, due to the brevity of this book, many aspects of this text are not well defined, explored, or analyzed (4–5). Throughout this text, Bennett uses feminist language, and indeed the word 'feminism' without properly defining the term. It is true that this book is aimed at an audience that is likely to known these terms. Yet, by not giving a definition Bennett opens the floor for radically different interpretations based upon where the reader's definition falls on the spectrum, from hating men and wanting female superiority to wanting equality and justice for all regardless of sex, that defines the various 'schools' of feminism. Despite this lack of clarity, many of the arguments that Bennett makes are still valid. Specifically, Bennett notes that the language of feminist and women's history has changed from the biting and often uncomfortable rhetoric of 1970s feminism to more neutral ...

  • 15. The War Of Canada During The Great War At the end of the Great War, Canada plunged into economic darkness; the once–powerful war industry was no longer needed and factories shut down all over the country, causing unemployment for civilians and veterans alike to skyrocket. This reflected on the military of Canada; vehicles that were destroyed were not replaced; the number of permanent forces and militia barely grew. Canada's military saw a period of inactivity that would even cause land, sea and air components merged as a singular entity due to the Great Depression's effect on the military budget. However, the peace was not to last. As Adolf Hitler's Germany appeared and showed the world its intentions, nations gathered and Canada committed an important act demonstrating its independence as a nation; Canada declared war. Viewed for a long time as a British colony even after Confederation, Canada took a stand against a virtually universally–recognized evil alongside the major powers of the world at the time. Canada's participation in conflicts in many different operations throughout WWII demonstrated its military effectiveness, but its important role in the D–Day landings defined Canada's military competency through the crucial Operation Overlord, dubbed by some as the beginning of the end of the Second World War, in Normandy.

It allowed women to break many boundaries for themselves as before the war, they lived in a world in which they were expected to stay at home and manage the household.

They estimated that housing women per capita would cost about $430 compared to men which was $235. The difference in cost estimations was due to "necessity of special provisions. After much heated discussions, the RCAF women's division (RCF–WD) was created on July 2nd, 1941. Here, women were given clerical, administrative and support roles to allow as they were not allowed it be trained as flying instructors or combatants. They were employed to allow men in those positions to obtain pilot training. Similar to the CWAC slogan, the RCAF–WD's slogan was "We serve that men may fly". Although their roles were very restricting, there were many bright women that broke the boundaries put in their paths. Take Elsie MacGill for instance. She was the first female aircraft designer in the world and was nicknamed the "Queen of the Hurricanes" for her work in aircraft designing. She was a major component in the team that designed the Hawker Hurricane during World War 2, which is considered the most historic British aircraft until the present day. She also designed many aircraft accessories during World War 2 such as the de–icing and skies to assist planes in cold weather while flying. She and many others like her paved the path for women and the future of women in the Air Force. Over the course of the war and because of achievement from people like Elsie MacGill, women were slowly but surely being taken more seriously and given roles such as parachute riggers, laboratory assistants and electrical and mechanical trades roles.

The main purpose of these exchanges is the profit. A market is called efficient when supply and demand are equal and the price that the consumers pay for goods is equilibrium with the cost arising from producer 's economic activities. There are some goods which are non exclusive and non–rival in consumption such as Safety and Environment. These are called Public goods. However in shipping market participants are not reluctant to invest or to provide for measures on safety and environment as they will not have any profit which is the main purpose of the market. When market fails to control abuses of monopoly power, fail to provide all the necessary public goods or fail to provide enough merit goods then it is called a 'market failure '. The 'market failure ' led the state to intervene in international shipping in order to improve safety, protect the environment and increase market 's efficiency. There are many economic theories regarding the State intervention, into the market and the concept of 'market failure '. This essay is analysing some of these theories in order to understand the rationale for the state intervention, especially in the market of international shipping and maritime transport.

Also, some expert's claim that African Empires were contained within lands and their ship–based exports were only to Europe, especially after colonization. However, contrary to popular belief, Westerners were not the leaders of navigational progress and European ships of the 15th century, were not superior than those centuries earlier. Navigational knowledge of Spaniards of this time was elementary and seamen were considerably ignorant on navigation according to Columbus (Van Sertima, p.57). Normally, I would not generalize and that there may be some exceptions, but Columbus is said to have spearheaded trans–Atlantic navigation, thus, him saying that Europeans were poor in navigation ought to have considerable weight. Europeans came into possession of such skills during the Renaissance (Daniels/ Hyslop, p.) of the 14th century. Such maritime technologies necessary to cross the Atlantic has been available to other non–Western "civilizations" suchlike the system of longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates that has been available in China since 100 B.C., lateen sail hoisted by Spain and Portugal which came from the Arabs, and the astrolabe, which originated in ancient Greeks, but was diffused and developed for years also came from the Arabs (Van Sertima, pg.57).

History : A Very Short Introduction Essay In History: A Very Short Introduction, Arnold weaves together various anecdotes including a 14th century murder, an epic regarding the corybantic slaughter of cats in France, the varying accounts of a Sojourner Truth speech, and many more stories to emphasize why history matters and the problems inherent in its recording. Throughout his novel, he contests the stance taken by Thucydides, a notable Greek historian. Thucydides lived from 460 BCE to 400 BCE and was famous for his work, The History of the Peloponnesian War, which recounted the conflict between Athens and Sparta. Thucydides firmly believed that history was meant to solely record the stories of politics, the state and great men – a belief that John Arnold throughly opposes. With his beliefs and narratives, he created a precedent that negatively influenced historiography for many years to come, for historians chose to disregard the lives and stories of the common man. It was this precedent that the historian Arnaldo Momigliano referred to as Thucydides' Tower. "Arnaldo Momigliano (a modern author) remarked that having shut himself up in this tower of political history, Thucydides wanted to confine all of us there too" (34). The idea of Thucydides' Tower itself refers to a metaphorical prison out of which historians could only see politics, war and the actions of great men; Looking out from the tower, their vision was far too narrow to see the lives and stories of the everyday man.

The ocean is vast, covering 140 million square miles, some 72 per cent of the earth's surface. Not only has the oceans always been a prime source of nourishment for the life it helped generate, but from earliest recorded history it has served for trade and commerce, adventure and discovery. It has kept people apart and brought them together. Humans have always had a close relationship with the aquatic environment, including the early use of the sea for food harvesting and communication. Today, the sea is an important component of the transportation system, with large amounts of cargo and passengers. This chapter provides a short introduction to ships and shipping also introduces the environmental impacts related to ship operations.

With these things, we are also going to assume that: –The weather conditions are perfect and the trip goes exactly as planned. –The time zones do not affect anything in this problem. –There is a certain point that the ship must reach, or have reached at each month. Assuming these things, and having the given knowledge, we are to answer the question, if you were on a ship leaving from New York, how many ships from San Francisco would you see in passing? Process At first, I was confused with this problem and did not know what to do. For this problem, I used only one problem and it was what helped me solve it. With my table group (Derick & I), we did a simulation. We first drew out a large map with the points that every ship should reach at the start of every month. Then we kept feeding in the blocks (which we used to act as ships) and did the simulation. Using this strategy, we were able to find the solution. Solution I found that if I were a traveler on a New York ship bound for San Francisco, I would see SEVEN ships from San Francisco, California along the way. This is how I ...

  • 60. Rousseau’s Second Discourse The last paragraph of the prelude to the Second Discourse is an impassioned appeal whose scope transcends the boundaries of time and space alike, calling for readers to pay attention to the history of man and society that Rousseau is on the verge of putting forth. Beginning with this authorial intrusion–a form of literary apostrophe–the essay adopts historical writing as its primary narrative mode. This method stands in direct contrast with the approach Thomas Hobbes takes in his Leviathan, in which the Englishman sets out to prove propositions as one might do geometrically, by preceding from valid arguments and sound premises. Rousseau's rejection of philosophy, at least as he understands it in the Second Discourse, embodies the emphasis ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Most importantly for Rousseau, however, is not necessarily how history lets him see how men might have been or how history lets him strike a balance between grasping the intricacy of human history and succeeding fluidly from one thought to another; it is how framing his work in such a way lets him give the greatest demonstrative proof of the point he makes. The first part of the work consists in a history of mankind until the institution of the social contract, and it reads easily and freely, just as man in Rousseau's conception was in those days. The second part of the Second Discourse, which deals with the critique of the social contract itself, however, reads much more heavily, as if Rousseau were attempting to give the reader a taste of the gravity the social contract itself imposes upon man. The opening lines of the second half already launch his scathing attack on civil society by associating this notion with a man who takes advantage of his fellow men: The first person who, having enclosed a plot of land, took it into his head to say this is mine and found people simple enough to believe him, was the true founder of civil society. What crimes, wars, murders, what miseries and horrors would the human race have been spared, had someone pulled up the stakes or filled in the ditch and cried out to his fellow men: "Do not listen to this imposter.

"In September 1642, John Throgmorton , with 35 families applied to the Dutch authorities in Niew Amsterdam for permission to settle in. Permission was granted in October 1642, and the conlonists settled on the long neck lying south of what is Eastchester Bay today and named it Throgmorton's Neck after their leader. By the time of the American Revolution, the name had been contracted to Throgg's Neck. Throgmorton and his colony thrived for short time, for in the later part of 1643, the Siwanoy Indians attacked the colony and destroyed it. Eighteen persons were massacred.

Although not completed until 1851, the new defense of New York approaches was christened Fort Schuyler in December 1845 in honor of General Philip Schuyler, the American Revolutionary War officer whose able command of the northern army in 1777 laid the groundwork for the defeat of the British at Saratoga. The fort was not completely garrisoned, however, until the outbreak of the Civil War in 1863. " (Hamilton, Harlan. Throgs Neck Light. 3) "The fort was built in an irregular pentagon design which is still considered one of the finest examples of Napoleonic military architecture in existence; the Pentagon in our nation's capital is modeled after it. It was unusual in that it was erected over a sandy foundation with little solid rock underneath, but it never settled or sagged. The armament for it was formidable: three hundred and twelve seacoast and garrison guns, six field pieces, and one hundred and thirty–four other heavy guns, all to be manned by a garrison of twelve hundred men. The design also provided for a complete three hundred and sixty degree defensive pattern, thus eliminating the possibility of land attack. During the years, muzzle loading cannons gave way to rifled cannons which in turn were replaced by "disappearing" twelve inch guns. There was even a "torpedo" launching casemate." (Hamilton, Harlan.

Katrina Ann Abdul Hadi ID: 24681598 School of Arts and Social Sciences ATS1325 Contemporary Worlds 1 The partition of India in 1948 led to one of the largest mass migration movements in the world. The successful attainment of independence from colonial rule is also a narrative of religious nationalism, displacement and communal violence between the two nation states of India and Pakistan or more definitively the Muslims and Hindus. In Urvashi Butalia's (2000, pp.264–300) "The Other Side of Silence" the oral testimony of Maya Rani, a Punjabi woman who was a child living in Pakistan during the Partition is particularly important to the histiography surrounding the event as it is told from a different perspective by a person not ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Her experience is reminiscent of the communal experience of the Partition by the population during the period of 1947–1952. The young girl's suicide has a strong link to the event in Thoa Khalsa where close to a hundred women drowned themselves by jumping into a well supposedly 'preferring' death rather than being 'dishonoured' by the men from the opposing side. She relates the events in a somewhat cool and detached demeanour as if it had nothing to do with the particular bubble which was her life. Maya Rani then comments that little over a year after the Partition she got married "and then completely forgot about Pakistan" (Butalia, 2000, p. 267). However, how much of that which she did not elaborate on or 'forgot' is because of the imagined community's sense of nationhood and the unspoken agreement of communal silence on the issue of the abuse of women's rights, rape and the abduction and 'recovery' of women across borders during and after the Partition. From her point of view the whole process of hatred and ethnic cleansing was instigated by the English, by troublemakers who wanted 'blood up to the knees' to show that "we were incapable of ruling so that the ...

Alistair Macleod- Modern World Versus Traditional World Essay Modern World versus Traditional World The stories from Alistair Macleod's The Lost Salt Gift of Blood are often related to the lives of the people of the Maritimes who are commonly miners, fishermen and farmers. The author repeatedly examines similar themes and issues in his short stories such as isolation, choices versus consequences and the concept of dying culture. However, the most prominent theme deals with the contrast between the rural ways of life and the more modern city life. This theme is not only limited to the Maritime culture; it is something that can be universally understood. His reason for utilizing this theme is to prove that the modern way of life is not always better then the traditional ways. Alistair Macleod ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This shows the difference between their lives in Montreal versus Cape Breton. Frequently throughout Macleod's stories he presents a conflict between modernity and the traditional way of life. The concept of the traditional world versus the modern world is a global phenomenon which is not limited to the Maritime Provinces. In the world there are a multitude of cultures. Within any culture there are deep rooted traditions that affect the way people view education, entertainment, and jobs. However, due to the advances throughout the world a conflict between modernity and the traditional world has arose. Throughout Alistair Macleod's The Lost Salt Gift of Blood collection, his stories portray this conflict in a Maritime setting and mostly represent the conflict between the traditional world and the modern world. "The Golden Gift of Grey" deals with the same theme; however, it is set within Northern America. Throughout the story there are examples proving the more traditional ways of life such as, "They did not know the aching loneliness of which it spoke and when it floated from the windows of the house on warm summer nights it branded their parents indelibly as hillbillies and they themselves as well." (Macleod 93) This is a great point, showing that not only can this theme be prone to the Maritimes but allows readers to consider that the theme is universally distributed.

In the Bay of Antalya in the Mediterranean Sea near the city of Kas, the diver took a boat not too far off shore. During his dive, he found what he described as "metal biscuits with ears" and reported them to the Institute of Nautical Archaeology in Kas. The INA then sent a team to the shoreline to discover what would end up being the Uluburun, the oldest shipwreck ever excavated. The site of the Uluburun shipwreck is just 50 meters (160 feet) off the eastern shore of Uluburun, and 6 miles southeast of the city Kas, Turkey. Excavation of the Uluburun shipwreck began in July of 1984 and lasted until late 1994. It was split up into eleven campaigns, each lasting around three to four months. The Institute of Nautical Archaeology controlled the entire excavation; however it was led by two different nautical archaeologists. Dr. George F. Bass initiated the preliminary campaign in 1984 and was taken over by Dr. Cemal Pulak in 1985 until 1994. Dr. George F. Bass is recognized as one of the early practitioners of underwater archaeology. In 1960, Bass was the director of the first archaeological expedition to entirely excavate an ancient shipwreck, Cape Gelidonya, which is not far from the site of the Uluburun. When Bass left the project to teach, Pulak took over and has been directing INA 's annual shipwreck surveys in Turkey since 1982. The location of the Uluburun brought ...

Health and safety can also be enforced through health and safety law so visitors and others are responsible to adhere to this. It is important to recognise the different responsibilities and approaches of a member of staff, the employer and others in the work setting. For example the employer is responsible to provide PPE and relevant health and safety training free of charge. It is then the responsibility of a staff member to use the PPE and to attend the training. So although the responsibilities are different they are also related and both need to work in order to ensure a high standard of health and safety. The employer provides as safe working environment, however if an accident or incident occurs it requires the efforts of both staff and sometimes others to report this to ensure measures are put into place to reduce any risk associated with the incident or accident. Another example of how health and safety has a linked responsibility can be shown through a member of staff ensuring they provide the relevant fire safety information/instructions to others. It is then the responsibility for others to follow these instructions. This outcome is fully evidenced by an appropriate answer to the question above. 4. Identify specific tasks in the work setting that should not be carried out without special training.

Without these essential cultural components, life would be a sad place to live in, because no other cultural aspect would survive. The most essential cultural elements are Art and Literature, because art and literature lead into the other cultural aspects. Without arts and literature, you couldn't have the rest of the cultural elements. Culture manifested itself with the aid of art and literature, without the help of writing or art, cultural unity would be impossible. A good example of a culture without writing and art would be the early humans; their culture did not carry along, and one tribe would be completely different than the other, and they couldn't even speak to express their ideas. It wasn't until early humans began to draw cave art that ideas could be expressed, and then culture grew and evolved and spread into government's and civilizations and certain ways of doing things, as well as religion and any of the other cultural elements. That's why art and literature are prerequisite to the development of all the other elements of culture. Art and literature are necessary to communicate and spread the rest of the cultural elements.

  • 79. Should Historians Take Sides? Week One Writing Response A. Howard Zinn (Zinn, Introduction) suggests that historians must inevitably take sides. What does he mean by this? Do you agree or disagree with him? Why? Throughout the introduction article Howard Zinn elucidates the inevitability of historians taking sides. Zinn exemplifies his argument by displaying his disagreement of the common history curriculum taught through the prospective of achievements, not the consequences that occurred to obtain it. Zinns states, "In other words, my focus is not on the achievements of the heroes of traditional history, but on all those people who were the victims of those achievements, who suffered silently or fought back magnificently" (Zinn, Introduction). Zinn's ideology about history is an argument which I strongly agree upon. Many lessons I've learned as an academic scholar was through the prospective of achievement, not the pain and suffering caused on the people who were oppressed during the process. Many people who lived through the achievements of one's conquest, was their times of difficulty. The inevitable sides appear through ones prospective of a historical event. B. According to Thomas Andrews and Flannery Burke ("What Does it Mean to Think Historically"), what are the five Cs that scholars can draw upon in the study of history?
