Remembering The Lost Research Paper
Remembering the Lost
(Memorialize)
All over the world, there are people who achieve such great achievement, that when they die, there is a monument of some type that might be built for
them. This doesn't have to be just when a person of great ability to do something dies, but people might also have memorials when there is an extreme
sacrifice that was made. This might be because of hard times that were going on, and the people who make the monument have to determine the size
they want it and what materials they are going to use, etc. There are many different procedures a person might have to go through in order to
determine what they want to do to remember somebody or a certain time period that is now gone. Three factors a group should consider in
memorializing a person or event are why it would be important to remember, where it will be located, and what will come of doing so. First of all, it
is very important to consider why the person or time period is an important thing to remember. Before building something like this, people need to
realize that there will be many people who see the monument and wonder what the meaning of it is. When somebody decides to build one, they need
to ask themselves what the importance is. For example, if something really bad happened to a certain community so they decided to put up a ... Show

the families who lost a loved one in the war. "VVMF (The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Fund) wanted Vietnam veterans to have a tangible symbol of

Importance Of Creating A Monument
There are many ways to memorialize events or people throughout the world. One, often used, way is by creating a monument. Although to some
individuals who believe that creating a monument is as easy as cutting a piece of cake, a lot is taken into consideration, such as the size, location, and
materials used. One factor that is taken into consideration when creating a monument is its size. In Washington D.C., for example, the U.S. government
wanted to honor the Holocaust by building a museum inside The National Mall: "a park...[that] contains a number of memorials...." At first, the
designers in charge of the project wanted to construct a massive museum. However, the proposal was shot down by the commission members because
they felt that it would " overcome The Mall and take away the main purpose... a place of remembrance." After downsizing the museum, the found that
it still worked and kept the purpose of remembrance intact. If a monument was too big, viewers would see it as a distraction that would ruin the
overall purpose of the museum, and if it was too small, some viewers would respond to the museum as not caring about the event/person as much. ...

The Importance Of Memorialization In Poland
Memorialization through A Survivors Experience & Through an Observers Eyes
Memorials are one way to commemorate a significant event or person. It is a way for us to reflect on the past, whether it be positively or a
warning. In a way we can see them as a tombstone for events or people that had a huge impact on the country or city it is located in. Memorials can
be extremely powerful and provoke great emotion, and others simply serve a basic purpose of simply educating. Europe is known for their monuments
of figures such as Britannia and events such as the French Revolution. Poland does not fall short of this tradition, nor does it lack in historical
significance.
Poland was occupied by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II from 1939–1945. It was during this time that the Jews had a
significant (and devastating) event; The Holocaust. Some of the most infamous concentration camps were located in Poland; in fact, Poland housed
the same number of concentration camps as Germany (9 out 24). The Jews experienced the worst tragedy in Polish history, and arguably in world
history. Over 6 million lives were taken and it seems there is a lack of history and proof in Poland of Jewish life prewar, even through

An Article about Roadside Memorials Essay
For the past two decades, roads became more than a medium of transportation. They turned into places that hold symbolic meaning to certain families
in the form of roadside memorials. Roadside memorials are stone markers that serve the purpose of honoring the lives of those killed in automobile
accidents. They usually take the shape of a Christian cross, whereby the name of the deceased is carved in the cross's horizontal line. Normally
surrounding the memorial are flowers and other gifts to illustrate grief. This stone is situated at the location of the person's death. Roadside memorials
are put there by the family and relatives of the victim as a method of immortalizing their memory. It reassures them that although the person has died, ...

Since most roadside memorials are shaped in the form of the Christian cross, they represent a religious symbol in a public space, and therefore violating
the law. Even though some assert that roadside memorials are distracting, the reality is that they are too small to cause any trouble. Several articles
and documents have provided evidence to support the memorial's insignificantly small size. For instance it is mentioned in the article "Roadside
Memorials" that "the typical memorial is between 1 and 3 feet high with a breadth of about 1ВЅ feet." The article also states that if you are between 50
to 100 yards away from the memorial, it would be challenging to see it (Collins and Rhine 238). Therefore, it is highly unlikely for most drivers to
spot roadside memorials. However, restrictions should be added to ensure that the memorials remain in a size that is not big enough to cause trouble.
Additionally, opponents to the idea of the memorials argue that they should be removed for distracting drivers, but do not make such an argument
against billboards and other commercial signs. These signs are much larger than roadside memorials and are usually more colorful, meaning they are
much more likely to grab the attention of drivers. Therefore, supporting the removal of roadside memorials, but not billboards would be applying a
double standard judgment. If the opponents of the placement of roadside memorials do not argue that billboards are distracting, they should not have

Why A Monument Is Important Essay
Everyone can learn from the world's history, but we don't always remember its history. This is where monuments come in handy. Monuments are made
in remembrance of an event that people feel strongly about. Monuments are not just randomly thrown together, or at least shouldn't be. When making a
monument there are a few things that cannot be overlooked or discarded, like the fact's that people can and will become attached to some monuments,
and that the history behind where the monument is built and its name are extremely important, and that all monuments must be created with respect and
respected once made. To start things off we will discuss how and why the attachment that can occur between a monument and a person can not to be
overlooked. As I said before, monuments are built in remembrance of something that people feel strongly about. One of the many reasons people can
feel strongly about a monument or an event is because, that person may have been there for the event. They could have had a loved one involved in
the event, or they could just feel strongly about what occurred during the event. For many, monuments are places that they can remember a loved one

Argument Essay: The Monument Of The Civil War
The monument that stand in my hometown is the soldiers and sailor monuments as tribute to the men in the Civil War from Athens, Ohio. The
monument was built in 1963 for the 2,610 men who served for the Union from Athens County. The men went into battle for the defense of the Union. A
lot of these men served in the 18th Ohio infantry. The veterans of the Civil War along with resident General Grosvenor set out to find funding for the
monument. There were a lot of troubles in the beginning. The monument had failed to be erected previously because of placement issues. Where the
monument stand now is in middle of Ohio University, and one of the question that arises when finding a proper place for the monument was is the
University capable of maintaining this monument and whether or not it was a good location. Grosvenor led other residents from Athens to create the
Athens Monument Association to fund the monument. And so the monument was then erected in 1963. The monument does not show any recognition
to any particular person or battle. But the monument does show respects to those who served in the war. The monument can be tied to the Union cause.

Persuasive Essay On Confederate Monuments
The Civil War was a clouded era where judgement was ill evolved, however, it was a cultural turning point in the history of our nation. Our nation
hasn't always been the cultural mixing pot it is now, to get to this point there were many things that had to be taken into consideration, and we need to
keep that in mind throughout history so we can be knowledgeable of how we got to where we are today. In the past months, there has been a big spark
in the debate of confederate monuments and if they should be removed or be able to stay. I argue that confederate monuments should be preserved to
be honest about our nation's past.
What is a monument, and why are people still talking about a topic that took place over a century ago? Well according to the Cambridge Academic
Content Dictionary, monument means,
"a statue, building, or other structure erected to commemorate a famous or notable person or event." (Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary...) So,
when we think about monuments sometimes we only think of statues, but they are also buildings and they don't always honor just a person but
sometimes an event as a whole. Although some of the monuments may have been put up in vein, they all have a story to tell about our history. Most

Persuasive Essay : Why Build Public Monuments?
Why build public monuments? In a podcast that I once listened to it said something along the lines of we build monuments to honor. We build
monuments to honor great people, but also to remember tragedies. I think that is something to keep in mind at all times when building monuments. We
build monuments to honor and remember, to honor those who have done great and wonderful things that have aided our country and to remember
those who have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of their country. That is the first thing that should be considered when building a monument,
if the collective opinion on the issue is on board with building a monument. There are many logistical things that go into building a monument like as I
stated above the importance of a person/event, location of the monument, and the time that the monument goes up. When building a monument there
has to be general consensus that the event or person being memorialized is worthy of being honored and memorialized. It is difficult to come to an
agreement about what should and should not be memorialized because every person and event has the other side who creates the controversy. So what
makes an event or monument worth of creating a statue or monument out of it? We use monuments to remember and honor. There has been a lot of

Importance Of Public Monuments
"Public monuments, by contrast, offer an anachronistic experience: a face–to–face encounter in a specially valued place set aside for collective
gathering"(Source A). Public monuments provide an escape, or a memory, to people who are willing to sink their teeth into the rich history they
provide. More importantly, memorializing has been apart of humanity since the beginning of time, and we use it to praise people or events of
importance, as well as events that hold great sorrow. Along with the importance and values that commemorate memorials, comes immense preparation
and planning when building a monument. Therefore, it is important that three main factors from sources E, G, and C, are taken into consideration when
attempting to build a memorial.
Initially, location is the most detrimental factor when planning a memorial. The location should not only please the people of the area, but also
correspond to the location of what it is memorializing, as well as cause no harm to the artificial or organic structures in the area. However, some may
reject memorials in certain locations because of harmful memories they may evoke. While some may feel this way, most can accept the fact that a
memorial is a beneficial way to remember an event, whether it's joyful or glum. A clear example in source E states, "The controversy grew from

When looking at the controversial argument over the importance of physical monuments and memorials it is important to consider the following,

considering the long–term effects these monuments and memorials have on the world. The issue over location of monuments is an important one to
consider because of the different meanings each statue has to different people and where those ides are being represented. For example, Downes, states
that the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills, South Dakota is "definitely an unnatural landmark." A similar opinion from Musser about the effect

According to Downes, "there were probably much better ways to help Indians than a big statue." In Dowes' article about both the Crazy Horse
monument and Mount Rushmore, he looks at the size of both these monuments in relation to what they represent. Size of monuments presents a
controversial argument for all involved because of the necessity of large memorials to represent small parts of history. In regards to Crazy Horse
specifically, one of its main purposes is to never finish and to gain more and more money from clueless tourists every year. According to Leatrice Big
Crow, "the memorial was one of those things that could go on swallowing money and effort forever." Mount Rushmore is the same type of deal, unless

The Purpose And Importance Of Monuments
Monuments are used to memorialize and honor moments, individuals and events of the past. Some monuments do this better than other monuments. In
creating a monument there are three essential factors a group or agency should consider to make the monument as effective as possible: location,
design features, purpose and backstory. Why these factors? Location and design factors play a massive role in the reception the monument will receive,
based on its environment, size and looks a monument will be perceived differently. The purpose and backstory are the two single most important factors
to consider in creating a monument. The monuments history, its reason, is the reason just? Is the purpose proper? Does it accurately memorialize the
subject? All these questions come with the purpose and backstory of a monument.
Location; where the monument is plays a big role in how effective a monument is in memorializing or honoring a person or moment. For instance
Mount Rushmore, to the untrained eye, is four important men of the past on the side of a mountain, but it is actually quite more. "I have to admit:
Mount Rushmore bothers me. It was bad enough that white men drove the Sioux from the hills they still hold sacred; did they have to carve faces all

Art can be considered many things. It can be considered a sculpture, a painting, a song, a movie, but it could also be considered a carefully thought out

Personal Narrative: My Visit To The Vietnam War
The monument that I visited is the war monument in the middle of the round about on Liberty and 4th Street. This monument was erected by the
American Legion California Post No. 377 on May 30th of 1937. This monument was then restored and dedicated in 1989 and 1990. This monument
thanks those who served in all wars and commemorates a few who passed away. Thismonument represents war in multiple ways. On each face of the
monument, there is a different war that is represented. On the first side it commemorates The Revolutionary War and The Civil War. The second side
of the monument shows The Spanish American War and The Great War. The third face of the monument has World War II and Korean War shown.
Lastly, the fourth side shows Vietnam. Under each war, there is a written statement and the years that the war took place. Each statement either thanks

Around the monument, there is a bunch of little flags with a plaque on them. These represent those who had served from around this area and passed
away during the war or later in life. The plaques on the flag show what war or conflict they fought in. Some examples of these from the monument are
the Revolutionary War, the Persian Gulf, and The War on Terrorism. Lastly, along with flying the American flag above the monument, they fly the
POW/MIA flag so they are never forgotten. I feel as if this monument represents war and commemorates the dead very well. The monument is for all
wars and not just on which is different from most monuments that I have seen. Each war has its own thing to remember it. For the Civil War the
monument says, "Fulfilled their purpose to free the slaves and preserve the union of the states." It reminds us of what caused the war and the results

A Symbolic Activity Essay
Memorialization as a Symbolic Activity There is a growing awareness that addressing past injustices are crucial for the process of healing and
reconciliation. In order to move towards a peaceful future, governments must acknowledge and respond to the wrongs and injustices of the past. While
there is an agreement between people that the process of reconciliation must acknowledge the wrongs of the past and the victims, many scholars debate
about how such acknowledgments are best communicated, so that they will be sufficiently credible and effective in improving future relations. In fact,
many argue that memory is crucially important as a response to past injustices, especially when dealing with human rights violations. Memorializing
the past, through memorials, commemorative ceremonies, etc., is widely promoted as a valuable way of redressing the wrongs of the past. But what
kind of redress can memorials provide, and how can they advance in transitional justice? Indeed, I consider these symbolic reparations to be a
double–edged sword due to the strengths and weaknesses, it presents as a practice for redressing the losses that were suffered by victims. In recent
years, forgiveness has attracted attention as a possible response of victims to perpetrators in past violent human rights abuses. Moreover, transitional
justice focuses on the effective and legitimate ways of addressing past wrongs and moving towards achieving political reconciliation and

The Importance Of Symbolizing A Monument
A monument is a statue, building, or any other type of structure that is made to represent something with historical importance, and or someone who
has made an impact in the world that has affected many people. There are many different ways to memorialize a person or an event, from having a day
to remember them, to having a monument built in remembrance for who deserves to be remembered. But, there are also certain factors a group or an
agency should consider while memorializing an event or person and in creating a monument. Things to consider while creating a monument is the
location and why is should be placed there, how the community feels about the monument and it will affect the community, and also the costs of the
monument.
Location is a very important thing to consider for a monument for the reason that you wouldn't just place a monument in an area where is has no
significance to the community or any sentimental value. As stated in Source A, "Why make a pilgrimage to a site with no historical significance to
read a text that was already everywhere?"(Savage, Kirk) What Kirk Savage means when stating this is that it would be fatuous to place a memorial in an
area with no significance to that event and or the person which the monument is symbolizing. For example Source E encounters many

The Importance Of Monuments
Christopher Columbus, a well–known name, he has a monument in his honor. This is made to memorialize him and his voyage to the Americans.
What else is there to consider when creating a monument? Obviously just any person or situation cannot have a monument, this would make them
meaningless and too common. Monuments are to memorialize, remember great or not–so great times in the world. There are three main pieces of
thought that have to be put in before creating a monument. A main thought that should be considered is the location of the monument. The whole point
of a monument is to memorialize an important person or situation. Sometimes two monuments that have been assembled for entirely different reasons,
so they should stay in separate locations as well. As stated in Source C, Downes says,"I have to admit: Mount Rushmore bothers me. It was bad
enough that white men drove the Sioux from hills they still hold sacred; did they have to carve faces all over them too?" The author is mad because it
was a symbol of disrespect placing these two monuments close to each other. Mount Rushmore is close to the site of which the statue of Crazy Horse is
located, and the author makes a point. It is not honorable for one giant monument to overshadow a monument such as Crazy Horse, they are both
supposed to stand out and be honored. This can also be seen vise–versa, some people are only there to see Mount Rushmore and not run into Navajo

Are Roadside Memorials a Distraction for Drivers?
Unlike a grave site memorial, which marks where a body is burried, roadside memorials shows where a person died abruptly and unpredictably.
When we see one, we get curious automatically and ask what might have happened in that place. Perhaps the basic reaction that we give when we
see a roadside memorial is enough to understand its purpose and tolerate its presence when we are on the road. However, Some of the usual
arguments that people post in opposing the presence of these memorials are dangerous distractions for drivers, illegal displays of religious symbols
and it constitute the taking of public property for private purposes (Tiernan, 2009). I would like to argue all these arguments as I believe that the
relevance of memorials outweighs all these concerns. I really cannot consider memorials are dangerous as distraction for drivers. I cannot believe
that a mere memorial can become a distraction. The only thing that can happen to a driver when he or she sees a memorial is that she/he will drive
slowly before passing it out of curiosity. This argument is simply based on probability and there is no evidence that memorial had causedroad accidents
. What memorial has caused is to make people understand that something had happened in that place and that perhaps they should become careful in
order to prevent it from happening again. Moreover, I cannot believe that people will actually say that there is a limitation where people can display

Memorialization As an American, who happens to be half Mexican, memorials are seen differently by many different people; their lust for recognition,
or their respect to either a nation's greatness; or to the protectors of that nation, are a couple central values. However, when creating monuments to
memorialize either party, designers must consider many aspects. Such as: what is the purpose of the monument? What does it symbolise and mean?
What are the costs, money wise, but also physically? What is the monument going to destroy or remove? What will every group of people think about
the monument? These are questions which must be asked before the construction process proceeds. Certain monuments bring positivity to the nation by

This question outsets the others for many factors, such as, the ability of a group to gain the power to overthrow the process can stunt the growth of a
certain monument or memorial being built. On the other hand, if the group creating the memorial becomes strong enough, they can push through
and get their ideas passed quicker and more luckily. Within source C, (Waiting for Crazy Horse), the author exemplifies that, "I have to admit:
Mount Rushmore bothers me. It was bad enough that white men drove the Sioux from hills they still hold sacred; did they have to carve faces all
over them too? It's easy to feel affection for Mount Rushmore's strange grandeur, but only if you forget where it is and how it got there. To me, it's
too close to graffiti." While the author creates a compelling article, the main idea, is that the project of mount rushmore was created on land which is
sacred to a culture, and now it is seen as one of the most revered landmarks in America. The hypocrisy within the Rushmore project, is the mountain

The Importance Of Monuments
Monuments can be seen all around the world and they can be a way for different states to show the world what they have gone through or what they
are proud of. Deciding to build a monument to honor or bring awareness to an important event can turn out to be difficult. There are many factors that
need to be looked over and thought out properly before making a final decision. For example, the location of the monument needs to be considered, time
and money should be included, and who/what the monument will show is also a factor that is important when deciding to construct a monument. The
location of a monument is extremely important and should be one of the most important things that should be considered. Moreover, the location
should be somewhere important that would not conflict with historical landmarks or that will cause problems for the people living around the
monument. For example, in Source D, Kosareft explained how the cemetery in Savannah Memorial Park was in danger of being removed because
developers want to use the land. This is an issue because the cemetery holds the graves of the San Gabriel Valley pioneers and is an important
landmark to many of the people living in Savannah. Using a location like this to build a monument is not ideal because it would destroy a place that
holds a lot of history. Additionally, in source C, Lawrence Downes states that the location of Mount Rushmore had destroyed the Sioux's homes/land.

Why Is Memorial Important
Memorials and monuments are important because they offer a method of recognizing and celebrating notable figures' achievements. There are more
complications when constructing memorials and monuments than people think. Agencies that construct memorials need to take into account the
demands of various people in order to satisfy their concerns. Once the agencies can establish a plan for a monument that has a neutral position, then
they should begin to create them. Agencies should think about the significance, controversy, location, and the emotional connection when constructing
a monument or memorial. Foremost, the significance of a monument is an important element. The agencies responsible for making the memorials need

It is worth recognizing Lincoln for his achievement in ending the American Civil War and outlawing slavery in the United States. Through thestatue
the feeling of authority and greatness is conveyed to the audience who stands before it and reads the text of the two speeches. While it can be easy to
read Lincoln's most famous speech in a history textbook, the experience of seeing the actual monument itself is much more powerful. The significance
of the statues need to matter to people or else there is no point in celebrating the the person or thing who was made into a monument. Similar to the
Lincoln Memorial, the Statue of Liberty's significance is of importance. The Statue of Liberty represents the idea of freedom and democracy which is
what the United States values greatly. When the Statue of Liberty was designed the architects wanted to create a symbol for the United States that
would embody freedom. Through the use of the depiction of the Roman goddess Libertas they were able to accomplish that. The meaning has to be

One of the main points of the Vietnam Veterans memorial was that it had to have 57,000 names on it. So the architect, Maya Lin, decided that she
was going to make a crack in the earth, and put up slabs of stones covered in the names of the people who sacrificed their lives. In the article she
says," I wanted my design to work with the land, to make something with the site, not to fight it or dominate it." She really emphasizes that her
main goal isn't to destroy the park she is building in, but to create something special that will make people remember the event she is
memorializing. She really thinks about how it was a time of sorrow and how the reflective surfaces she chose made it seem like two worlds were
colliding. She describes it as,"An interface, between our world and the quieter, darker, more peaceful world beyond." She wanted to remind people
of that other place, but not be able to touch it because we also need to move on. It just goes to show that you have to put a lot of thought into a

The land, local people' opinions and their feelings, must be taken into consideration, and furthermore. A monument needs to have a strong meaning to
spark one's memory or it must have historical value. The truth and an accurate account of history must also be taken into consideration before any kind
of memorial is erected. If there is no historical background or an education of the monument then it is proven that the audience will not support or be
interested in the specific monument.The significance of the monument and cost should be evaluated. H. Elroy Johnson posed for a sculpture named
"The Maine Lobsterman" (Obscure). The sculpture was originally supposed to be cast in bronze and presented at the New York's World Fair in 1939,
but due to economic constraints, this concept failed. To defray the cost of the sculpture, it was coated in bronze colored paint and it was sent to New
York. Over time, the sculpture was neglected. "The statue was vandalized, repaired, and it ended up in a warehouse where it was eaten by rats"
(Obscure). This shows it wasn't favored or meaningful to the majority of the community. Like the Sioux nation, many people regard monuments and

Tampa, Florida are sparking massive debates across the nation. Southern communities such as Virginia and South Carolina are being pressured by
citizens into removing the Confederate monuments in the town square, claiming that the monuments are a brutal reminder of America's history of
slavery. Despite the monuments' representation of American history, this is a national debate. Inn some states this has emerged into a deadly conflict

To begin, when you think of a monument you see what is around it and how that effects everything. It elevates the deeper meaning of the monument
and creates a deeper feeling to the eye, making it easy for the viewer to connect. For example, Christopher Columbus is poised tall in the Riverside
Park in Easton, Pennsylvania. Many will say that seeing this monument gives you a feeling of remembering his important role really impacts one. The
tall trees and the beauty of everything that surrounds it makes the feelings and the memories even more surreal. If this monument was placed in an
ugly building, or somewhere random that had no essential meaning there would be no feeling, or any reason to consider this place important or sacred.
For example, Scource (5), Christine, is contemplating where to build a museum in order to commemorate the ones from the holocaust.Individuals were

where a body is finally laid, the roadside memorial marks the last place where a person was alive. The memorial is usually kept up by family and
close friends and is decorated with flowers, messages, and a cross or plaque. However, often times controversial, these families believe that their moral

Roadside memorials often times do this because civil and governmental bodies do not allow the memorials to take place. Governmental authorities
view the road as a public space and it is their duty to ensure that the roads are safe and can view erected memorials as potential distractions to drivers.
There are civil bodies that allow them appear– but only when they are regulated. However, to some families, these 'limited' memorials are not accurate
representations of their feelings and how they want to honor the deceased loved ones. Within the past five decades, numerous things have perpetuated
this change from the conventional into the newly popular roadside commemorative methods. Whether it was the counter culture and civil rights
movement of the 1960's or the gradual distrust in government, more people feels as if their moral authority trumps governmental superintended rules.
Although civil bodies want to confine the size and amount of time a memorial is up for, the grieving families do not see the purpose of having such

Words can be tricky when they are being placed on a monument. One has to make sure the quotes are correct. One has to make sure the quotes are
perceived how they should be. One has to make sure names and other words are correctly spelled. Is the monument even going to have any words
on it? All of these contribute to what one must consider when adding words to a monument. Any sort of word would bring back memories of the
event. As stated by Lin, words can be used to capture "a specific moment in time or a single event or a generalized image" to resurrect memories of
those lost in a tragic event. This is the goal of any monument at it's purest; to remember an event as it happened. Words can also depict important
saying of the past, as it does the Gettysburg Address on the Lincoln Memorial (Savage). This is cause for importance because it prevents those words
from being lost or twisted in the pages of history books. Words are of vast importance when building a monument, as they protect the quotes and people
of the past from being nothing.
Cost, design, and words are only a few factors that should be considered when building a monument. As proved by prior facts, these by far are the most

Conflict of interest often appears with post–Civil Rights Movement monuments. Placing a Confederate statue near a Civil Rights Movement memorial
could be seen as an attempt to strengthen white supremacy which is one of the fastest ways to aggravate the immediate audience which would result in
the removal of the Confederate monument. The placement of a statue can lend it authority or the semblance of government support. Monuments can be
placed near a government building or near government–backed memorials and this tactic is known as symbolic accretion (2, p.420).

  • 2. Remembering The Lost Research Paper Remembering the Lost (Memorialize) All over the world, there are people who achieve such great achievement, that when they die, there is a monument of some type that might be built for them. This doesn't have to be just when a person of great ability to do something dies, but people might also have memorials when there is an extreme sacrifice that was made. This might be because of hard times that were going on, and the people who make the monument have to determine the size they want it and what materials they are going to use, etc. There are many different procedures a person might have to go through in order to determine what they want to do to remember somebody or a certain time period that is now gone. Three factors a group should consider in memorializing a person or event are why it would be important to remember, where it will be located, and what will come of doing so. First of all, it is very important to consider why the person or time period is an important thing to remember. Before building something like this, people need to realize that there will be many people who see the monument and wonder what the meaning of it is. When somebody decides to build one, they need to ask themselves what the importance is. For example, if something really bad happened to a certain community so they decided to put up a ...

Every day veteran go to the Vietnam Wall Memorial and remember their fallen comrades who gave their lives so that others may live. The Vietnam Memorial also helps America remember a time in our history that was so bad and bloody that We built a memorial to never let a war like the Vietnam War happen again. But the biggest reason the memorial is so emotionally impactful is that it not only honors the fallen, but also the families who lost a loved one in the war. "VVMF (The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Fund) wanted Vietnam veterans to have a tangible symbol of recognition from the American people. By separating the issue of the service of the individual men and women from the issue of U.S. policy in Vietnam, VVMF hoped to begin a process of national reconciliation" (About The Wall).

Source C questions, enlightening the reader on the blemished past of Mount Rushmore, and how the placement of such a monument is wholly disrespectful (Source C).

  • 8. Importance Of Creating A Monument There are many ways to memorialize events or people throughout the world. One, often used, way is by creating a monument. Although to some individuals who believe that creating a monument is as easy as cutting a piece of cake, a lot is taken into consideration, such as the size, location, and materials used. One factor that is taken into consideration when creating a monument is its size. In Washington D.C., for example, the U.S. government wanted to honor the Holocaust by building a museum inside The National Mall: "a park...[that] contains a number of memorials...." At first, the designers in charge of the project wanted to construct a massive museum. However, the proposal was shot down by the commission members because they felt that it would " overcome The Mall and take away the main purpose... a place of remembrance." After downsizing the museum, the found that it still worked and kept the purpose of remembrance intact. If a monument was too big, viewers would see it as a distraction that would ruin the overall purpose of the museum, and if it was too small, some viewers would respond to the museum as not caring about the event/person as much. ...

For example, in Rapid City, South Dakota, holds the Mount Rushmore, a tribute to a few of our former presidents carved into a mountain. Although this monument was placed in the center of the US, many Native Americans have an issue with the placement. They believe that it does not benefit their people culturally because the "white men drove the Sioux from the hills they still hold sacred."

  • 10. The Importance Of Memorialization In Poland Memorialization through A Survivors Experience & Through an Observers Eyes Memorials are one way to commemorate a significant event or person. It is a way for us to reflect on the past, whether it be positively or a warning. In a way we can see them as a tombstone for events or people that had a huge impact on the country or city it is located in. Memorials can be extremely powerful and provoke great emotion, and others simply serve a basic purpose of simply educating. Europe is known for their monuments of figures such as Britannia and events such as the French Revolution. Poland does not fall short of this tradition, nor does it lack in historical significance. Poland was occupied by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II from 1939–1945. It was during this time that the Jews had a significant (and devastating) event; The Holocaust. Some of the most infamous concentration camps were located in Poland; in fact, Poland housed the same number of concentration camps as Germany (9 out 24). The Jews experienced the worst tragedy in Polish history, and arguably in world history. Over 6 million lives were taken and it seems there is a lack of history and proof in Poland of Jewish life prewar, even through memorialization. They were nearly wiped of the face of the earth, and by the numbers of Jews in Poland today, almost completely wiped ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The writer develops an effective argument that examines the three key factors (location, size, and material) a group or agency should consider in memorializing an event or person and in creating a monument in order to "effectively pay homage to deep sacrifice or honor moments of great achievement." The sources selected illustrate a critical understanding of each source's position, allowing the student to convincingly engage the sources to facilitate the student's own argument.For example, in the first body paragraph, the student argues that it was a good decision to place the statue of Christopher Columbus in a serene location in order to invite reflection on the "important role Christopher Columbus had in American history" rather than "behind ...

  • 12. An Article about Roadside Memorials Essay For the past two decades, roads became more than a medium of transportation. They turned into places that hold symbolic meaning to certain families in the form of roadside memorials. Roadside memorials are stone markers that serve the purpose of honoring the lives of those killed in automobile accidents. They usually take the shape of a Christian cross, whereby the name of the deceased is carved in the cross's horizontal line. Normally surrounding the memorial are flowers and other gifts to illustrate grief. This stone is situated at the location of the person's death. Roadside memorials are put there by the family and relatives of the victim as a method of immortalizing their memory. It reassures them that although the person has died, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Since most roadside memorials are shaped in the form of the Christian cross, they represent a religious symbol in a public space, and therefore violating the law. Even though some assert that roadside memorials are distracting, the reality is that they are too small to cause any trouble. Several articles and documents have provided evidence to support the memorial's insignificantly small size. For instance it is mentioned in the article "Roadside Memorials" that "the typical memorial is between 1 and 3 feet high with a breadth of about 1ВЅ feet." The article also states that if you are between 50 to 100 yards away from the memorial, it would be challenging to see it (Collins and Rhine 238). Therefore, it is highly unlikely for most drivers to spot roadside memorials. However, restrictions should be added to ensure that the memorials remain in a size that is not big enough to cause trouble. Additionally, opponents to the idea of the memorials argue that they should be removed for distracting drivers, but do not make such an argument against billboards and other commercial signs. These signs are much larger than roadside memorials and are usually more colorful, meaning they are much more likely to grab the attention of drivers. Therefore, supporting the removal of roadside memorials, but not billboards would be applying a double standard judgment. If the opponents of the placement of roadside memorials do not argue that billboards are distracting, they should not have ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Monuments are made in remembrance of an event that people feel strongly about. Monuments are not just randomly thrown together, or at least shouldn't be. When making a monument there are a few things that cannot be overlooked or discarded, like the fact's that people can and will become attached to some monuments, and that the history behind where the monument is built and its name are extremely important, and that all monuments must be created with respect and respected once made. To start things off we will discuss how and why the attachment that can occur between a monument and a person can not to be overlooked. As I said before, monuments are built in remembrance of something that people feel strongly about. One of the many reasons people can feel strongly about a monument or an event is because, that person may have been there for the event. They could have had a loved one involved in the event, or they could just feel strongly about what occurred during the event. For many, monuments are places that they can remember a loved one that has been lost in a tragic event and pay respects to. This causes some ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The monument was built in 1963 for the 2,610 men who served for the Union from Athens County. The men went into battle for the defense of the Union. A lot of these men served in the 18th Ohio infantry. The veterans of the Civil War along with resident General Grosvenor set out to find funding for the monument. There were a lot of troubles in the beginning. The monument had failed to be erected previously because of placement issues. Where the monument stand now is in middle of Ohio University, and one of the question that arises when finding a proper place for the monument was is the University capable of maintaining this monument and whether or not it was a good location. Grosvenor led other residents from Athens to create the Athens Monument Association to fund the monument. And so the monument was then erected in 1963. The monument does not show any recognition to any particular person or battle. But the monument does show respects to those who served in the war. The monument can be tied to the Union cause.

Our nation hasn't always been the cultural mixing pot it is now, to get to this point there were many things that had to be taken into consideration, and we need to keep that in mind throughout history so we can be knowledgeable of how we got to where we are today. In the past months, there has been a big spark in the debate of confederate monuments and if they should be removed or be able to stay. I argue that confederate monuments should be preserved to be honest about our nation's past. What is a monument, and why are people still talking about a topic that took place over a century ago? Well according to the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary, monument means, "a statue, building, or other structure erected to commemorate a famous or notable person or event." (Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary...) So, when we think about monuments sometimes we only think of statues, but they are also buildings and they don't always honor just a person but sometimes an event as a whole. Although some of the monuments may have been put up in vein, they all have a story to tell about our history. Most confederate monuments were erected 50 years after the end of the civil war, as veterans began to pass away.

  • 16. Persuasive Essay : Why Build Public Monuments? Why build public monuments? In a podcast that I once listened to it said something along the lines of we build monuments to honor. We build monuments to honor great people, but also to remember tragedies. I think that is something to keep in mind at all times when building monuments. We build monuments to honor and remember, to honor those who have done great and wonderful things that have aided our country and to remember those who have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of their country. That is the first thing that should be considered when building a monument, if the collective opinion on the issue is on board with building a monument. There are many logistical things that go into building a monument like as I stated above the importance of a person/event, location of the monument, and the time that the monument goes up. When building a monument there has to be general consensus that the event or person being memorialized is worthy of being honored and memorialized. It is difficult to come to an agreement about what should and should not be memorialized because every person and event has the other side who creates the controversy. So what makes an event or monument worth of creating a statue or monument out of it? We use monuments to remember and honor.

  • 17. Importance Of Public Monuments "Public monuments, by contrast, offer an anachronistic experience: a face–to–face encounter in a specially valued place set aside for collective gathering"(Source A). Public monuments provide an escape, or a memory, to people who are willing to sink their teeth into the rich history they provide. More importantly, memorializing has been apart of humanity since the beginning of time, and we use it to praise people or events of importance, as well as events that hold great sorrow. Along with the importance and values that commemorate memorials, comes immense preparation and planning when building a monument. Therefore, it is important that three main factors from sources E, G, and C, are taken into consideration when attempting to build a memorial. Initially, location is the most detrimental factor when planning a memorial. The location should not only please the people of the area, but also correspond to the location of what it is memorializing, as well as cause no harm to the artificial or organic structures in the area. However, some may reject memorials in certain locations because of harmful memories they may evoke. While some may feel this way, most can accept the fact that a memorial is a beneficial way to remember an event, whether it's joyful or glum.

  • 19. The Purpose And Importance Of Monuments Monuments are used to memorialize and honor moments, individuals and events of the past. Some monuments do this better than other monuments. In creating a monument there are three essential factors a group or agency should consider to make the monument as effective as possible: location, design features, purpose and backstory. Why these factors? Location and design factors play a massive role in the reception the monument will receive, based on its environment, size and looks a monument will be perceived differently. The purpose and backstory are the two single most important factors to consider in creating a monument. The monuments history, its reason, is the reason just? Is the purpose proper? Does it accurately memorialize the subject? All these questions come with the purpose and backstory of a monument. Location; where the monument is plays a big role in how effective a monument is in memorializing or honoring a person or moment. For instance Mount Rushmore, to the untrained eye, is four important men of the past on the side of a mountain, but it is actually quite more. "I have to admit: Mount Rushmore bothers me. It was bad enough that white men drove the Sioux from the hills they still hold sacred; did they have to carve faces all over them too?"(Source C).

It can be considered a sculpture, a painting, a song, a movie, but it could also be considered a carefully thought out plan.

Much like memorials, which are made with the intention of living through time by depicting a singular, particular moment of history. Art aims to be remembered, not forgotten.

In order to move towards a peaceful future, governments must acknowledge and respond to the wrongs and injustices of the past. While there is an agreement between people that the process of reconciliation must acknowledge the wrongs of the past and the victims, many scholars debate about how such acknowledgments are best communicated, so that they will be sufficiently credible and effective in improving future relations. In fact, many argue that memory is crucially important as a response to past injustices, especially when dealing with human rights violations.

When we see one, we get curious automatically and ask what might have happened in that place. Perhaps the basic reaction that we give when we see a roadside memorial is enough to understand its purpose and tolerate its presence when we are on the road. However, Some of the usual arguments that people post in opposing the presence of these memorials are dangerous distractions for drivers, illegal displays of religious symbols and it constitute the taking of public property for private purposes (Tiernan, 2009). I would like to argue all these arguments as I believe that the relevance of memorials outweighs all these concerns. I really cannot consider memorials are dangerous as distraction for drivers. I cannot believe that a mere memorial can become a distraction.

Deciding to build a monument to honor or bring awareness to an important event can turn out to be difficult. There are many factors that need to be looked over and thought out properly before making a final decision. For example, the location of the monument needs to be considered, time and money should be included, and who/what the monument will show is also a factor that is important when deciding to construct a monument. The location of a monument is extremely important and should be one of the most important things that should be considered. Moreover, the location should be somewhere important that would not conflict with historical landmarks or that will cause problems for the people living around the monument. For example, in Source D, Kosareft explained how the cemetery in Savannah Memorial Park was in danger of being removed because developers want to use the land. This is an issue because the cemetery holds the graves of the San Gabriel Valley pioneers and is an important landmark to many of the people living in Savannah.

Many will say that seeing this monument gives you a feeling of remembering his important role really impacts one. The tall trees and the beauty of everything that surrounds it makes the feelings and the memories even more surreal. If this monument was placed in an ugly building, or somewhere random that had no essential meaning there would be no feeling, or any reason to consider this place important or sacred. For example, Scource (5), Christine, is contemplating where to build a museum in order to commemorate the ones from the holocaust.Individuals were mad because the plans were to build the Holocaust museum to be built onto the mall in Washington D.C. Many will argue that the museum shouldn't be built due to the United States poor efforts to help end the Holocaust.

Whether it was the counter culture and civil rights movement of the 1960's or the gradual distrust in government, more people feels as if their moral authority trumps governmental superintended rules.

Is the monument even going to have any words on it? All of these contribute to what one must consider when adding words to a monument. Any sort of word would bring back memories of the event. As stated by Lin, words can be used to capture "a specific moment in time or a single event or a generalized image" to resurrect memories of those lost in a tragic event. This is the goal of any monument at it's purest; to remember an event as it happened.

Before building commenced a survey was given to the residents to see if they approved of the project. It received a 74% approval rating. The project is being built on private property and is being funded by a non–government organization. This aspect gives the memorial little added authority. The memorial recognizes the thirty two divisions from Texas that fought in the Civil War. Since being that it is located in Texas, it is relevant to this location.
