Distinct societies developed in New England and the Chesapeake bay by 1700 due to the fact that they had different motives . From a social
perspective, New England's intent was to explore and discover new lands where they could in search of religious freedom, while the Chesapeake
society explored their new lands in a quest for material wealth. Economically, New England aimed to profit from nature, by lumbering, fishing, and
trading, yet the Chesapeake society wanted on to make their fortune through growing tobacco. From a religious standpoint, the government of New
England was created with the intent of escaping the reach and persecution of the powerful english church, while the Chesapeake region was more
focused on following traditional english religion.

Health Care, Preventative Medicine, And Wellness Programs
The traditional meaning of progress is advancing toward any specific goal. A goal can vary from a promotion at work or purchasing a home to
starting a family or learning to speak a foreign language. Considering the variations in goals, how then is progress measured? Can it be universal?
Unrestricted? Or is it personal and exclusive? The term 'progress' fluctuates in meaning depending on who the term is being applied to in addition to
the sense in which it is being discussed. Medically, technologically, and socially are some manners that progress affects larger and increasingly
immense populations; nevertheless, there are countless other forms of progress, both individual and world–wide. On a universal scale, diverse groups of
people uniting and approaching a common target is progress. Because progress is never truly achieved, rather, the goal simply changes, evolution and
growth are everlasting. A countless multitude of achievements have been actualized across the globe and an infinite many more will be realized in the
future. Health care, preventative medicine, and wellness programs have extended to a considerable mass of underprivileged countries; meanwhile,

Three Spheres of an Argument
According to Goodnight, there are three spheres of an argument. These spheres are personal, public and technical. Arguments in the personal sphere are
often unrestricted and unsophisticated interactions with family and friends. Arguments in the technical sphere are based on a specific expertise or
specialized knowledge. Arguments in the public sphere transcend private and specialized communities and engage the public at large. The public
sphere provides a forum for the resolution of controversy and for public deliberation. Goodnight (1985) theorizes: Members of "societies" and
"historical cultures" participate in vast and not altogether coherent superstructures which invite them to channel doubts through prevailing discourse
practices. In the democratic tradition, we can categorize these channels as the personal, the technical and the public spheres. "Sphere" denotes branches
of activity–the grounds upon which arguments are built and the authorities to which arguers appeal. (p.2) Goodnight contends that the independence of
each of these spheres is governed by a different set of standards and thus is distinct from each of the others. For example "the independence of the
spheres is protected by a variety of laws protecting privacy and discouraging government intervention in private affairs" (Goodnight, p.3). However, he
also suggests that the borders between these spheres are not inflexible and at times argument can exist within multiple spheres simultaneously.

The First Civilizations : The Rise Of Civilization
The first civilizations, the foundations for future empires, were all founded and created between 3500 B.C.E. and 500 B.C.E. by groups of nomadic
peoples who decided to settle in an area for certain group specific reasons. Some of the main states of the first civilization were Mesopotamia, Norte
Chico, Egypt, Indus Valley, China, and Olmec. The second wave civilizations, built between 500 B.C.E. and 500 C.E., included the Persians, the
Greeks, Romans, Chinese (Qin and Han), and India (Mauryan and Gupta). The first wave civilizations were sparked by the agricultural movement that
led to the settlement of large groups of people in areas that became the cities and states that formed these first civilizations. The rise of civilization led to

The key similarities between the two waves of civilizations are important and were continued throughout history even further than the empires of
the second wave. These similarities included slavery, treatment of women, and the patriarch and monarch rulers; these similarities were intertwined
in both waves. Hierarchies of gender declared that women and men were not equal because "to be gendered as masculine or feminine defines the
roles and behavior considered appropriate for men and women in every human community." The hierarchy of gender led to the creation of
patriarchy, the concept that women are lesser or subordinate to men in all aspects of life. This idea of patriarchy meant sons were valued more than
daughters, men had more opportunities in society and with jobs, the opportunity to rule, and men were the heads of their households. However, this
wasn't true for every society, even in the first civilizations there were cities and groups of people living within some states that allowed women to do
what they wanted to do out in society. The Egyptians were a good example of equality as women were legally viewed equal to men. They were able to
own land and slaves, initiate divorce, and rarely they would reach the position of queen, the most famous being Hatshepsut. On the more extreme side,
in ancient Mesopotamia, patriarchy took root quickly in the form of actual written law. The code of Hammurabi was created in 1750 B.C.E. creating

The Veil: Definition Of Civilization
What is civilization? People have countless meanings of this word based on their personal reasoning. The book definition of civilization is the stage of
human social development and organization that is considered most advanced. Civilization is a community of people who are living together. These
people share beliefs, religion, and language. They live in the same region and come together to live more efficiently. Individuals in these communities
grow up with the common beliefs and culture of their civilizations, "they have been brought up in a certain part of the world, they have formed perhaps
quite unconsciously a deep attachment to its landscape and speech, its traditional customs, its food and drink, its songs and jokes" (Priestly 230). If the
people in these communities are attached to their region, as Priestly expresses, then they're more likely to contribute to their civilization. ... Show more

There will be a variety of thought processes, beliefs, and other aspects of a civilization in different societies. They may be based on where a

Quebec Separation 1980,1995
In 1980 The PQ government called a referendum asking weather Quebec should have a new agreement with the rest of Canada. The No side won by a
slim margin. In response to the referendum Pierre Trudeau promised to reform the Constitution. "Do you want "a new agreement with the rest of
Canada, based on the equality of nations"? That was the heart of the question placed before the people of Quebec in the May 20, 1980 referendum.
RenГ© LГ©vesque's Parti QuГ©bГ©cois was asking Quebecers for a mandate to negotiate "sovereignty–association", an idea that inflamed federalists
and separatists alike.
In 1995 the PQ Government led by Parizeau again flirted with the idea of "sovereignty association". The No side squeaked out a marginal victory.
""ГЂ la prochaine fois!" (Until next time!) promised RenГ© LГ©vesque after the 1980 Quebec referendum. Fifteen years later, on Oct. 30, 1995,

The Importance Of Religion In Colonial New England
Although European colonists traveled to colonial New England for a variety of reasons, they embraced Christianity as the primary purpose for their
journeys. Furthermore, religion had a profound effect on everyday society and political hierarchies. From enforced morality to Indian conflicts, religion
tended to destabilize numerous colonies and even led to unjustifiable atrocities like the Salem Witch Trials. Nevertheless, without a religious influence,
the timeline of New World progression and territory would have been suspended indefinitely. Becausereligion primarily influenced the establishment of
the colonies and numerous aspects of politics, it played an integral role in colonial New England society. Even with distinct religious motives splitting
the early arrivals, the settlers clearly viewed Christianity as the reason for their departure. Separatists and Puritans differed on their ultimate reason for
sailing thousands of miles from home. While Separatists wanted to completely isolate themselves from England to achieve a godly society, Puritans
desired to provide an ideal example for how English Christians should live. This early instance foreshadows the numerous interpretations of Christianity
which would lead to undesirable outcomes. However, even with these differences, religious motivation definitively proves itself as the primary factor
for travel. After these early developments, the establishment of Massachusetts Bay proved to be the most influential in

Exile is one of the most severe punishments, yet it is a catalyst for self reflection and personal development. Aldous Huxley 's World State is presented
through the interactions of characters who are, at some degree, exiled. Whether physically, or metaphysically, these characters find isolation to be as
punishing as it is insightful. One particular individual, John, stands among the rest of the characters as one who society rejects. In Malpais, John was
ostracized as the son of a promiscuous, "New World–er". In London, John was never truly "accepted" by society as an equal, but rather looked at "like
a piece of meat". John 's position between civilizations allows him to develop a unique position on society. Through his experiences with social
rejection, John develops as one of the most complex characters in literature. John illuminates the meaning of the work through serving as a unique
human character that the reader can identify with. His thoughts and actions, bold, as they are self–destructive, give a unique view of of a human
society without humanity. John dwells not within the society of Malpais, which rejects him for his heritage, nor within London, which rejects him for
his misguided idealism. Instead, John finds sanctum in what he learns from Shakespearean literature. The rift developed between John and his

Happiness In Chris Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, By Chris...
Happiness: an idea so abstract and intangible that it requires one usually a lifetime to discover. Many quantify happiness to their monetary wealth,
their materialistic empire, or time spent in relationships. However, others qualify happiness as a humble campaign to escape the squalor and
dilapidation of oppressive societies, to educate oneself on the anatomy of the human soul, and to locate oneself in a world where being happy
dissolves from a number to a spiritual existence. Correspondingly, Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and Krakauer's Into the Wild illuminate the struggles of
contentment through protagonists, which venture against norms in their dystopian or dissatisfying societies to find the virtuous refuge of happiness.
Manifestly, societal assimilation, familial antagonism, and communal ethnocentrism all catalyze one's ordained crusade to pursuit the empirical
element of happiness.
One commonality both protagonists share is that of their natural or influenced inclination to reject societal assimilation in gamble for happiness. Chris
McCandless explains that people are too "conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism," and though such conditions are comforting, a
"secure future" is "damaging to the adventurous spirit" (Krakauer 57). Evidently, people today are too cowardly to interrupt the stability and economic

The Han And Roman Attitudes Towards Technology
Han and Roman Attitudes Towards Advancement The Han and Roman worlds were two of the largest and most complex early empires composed of
different cultures, political systems, languages, beliefs, and ways of living. However, they had a few similarities; one of which is the introduction of
various technologies during the first and second millennium. The Han in China and Romans in the Mediterranean experienced a time period of
expansion in which they began to develop technology such as metallurgy and water systems to aid in military conquests and practical purposes.
Although both Han and Roman had definite appreciation towards technology, the Han attitude towards technology was more glorifying in its
effectiveness and utility; while the roman attitude was less glorifying as they focused on technology to display their civilizations advancements, while
they neglected to glorify those who worked with tools. Han's attitude towards technology was appreciative, glorified technology when its is supported
by the government, and believed technology is essential for the empire. The Roman attitude includes inferiority of tools, aestheticism as main use of
technology, and less glorification and importance on technology. Hans appreciation towards technology is depicted in their usage to improve society by

Johnson also talks about technology as a whole. In the past 15 years or so, technology has grown at an exponential rate. Everyday, new technologies

without even looking at the manual. This is a clear sign that the problem solving skills of people in general have increased. "They've learned
general rules for probing and exploring a piece of technology, rules that come in handy no matter what model VCR you put in front of them" (177).
This idea manifests itself in different ways. It allows things like video game designers to withhold rules of the game, and requires players to figure it

First, we derive the collective opinion $O$ of a whole data sample $D$, using a SA method existing in the literature. Specifically, we adopt in this work
the method SACI cite{jws2015}. SACI is relevant to our goal since it was originally proposed for estimating efficiently collective sentiment on data
samples, instead of aggregating the sentiment derived for each individual document. Further, the authors demonstrated that SACI is more effective in
estimating the collective opinion than aggregation–based SA methods. SACI represents $O$ as a distribution probability among the sentiment classes
positive, negative and neutral. Thus, we split $D$ into time units of equal size (e.g., days, weeks, months). Then, we estimate the collective opinion
$O_t$ using only the posts belonging to each distinct time unit $t$. Finally, we perform a visual inspection on the derived distributions. The more

However, this was not the case, and those who followed the Koran and a neo–conservative way of thinking welcomed women into the workplace in
larger percentages than would be expected. Amir–Ebrahimi, a scholar on women's physical role in the public in the Middle East supports this by
saying "This frequent presence in the different public spaces gave women a new consciousness about themselves and their individual and citizen rights

event, the agricultural revolution. As the first agricultural revolution occurred from 10,000 BC to 2000 BC, people started to settle and cultivate land
by planting crops and raising animals. Although blossoming from different areas around the world, they all had certain similar aspects such as

The Public Sphere within theatre was a concept that was first delineated by philosopher Jurgen Habermas in his book titled The structural
transformation of the public sphere, in which he refers to the right that all citizens hold, the right to participate and engage into discussions on public
matters of interest and public issues. Habermas writes: "the audience does not constitute a space for spectators and listeners but a space for speakers
and addresses who engage in debate." (Habermas in Balme 2012). The Public sphere has now become a space, a stage, for performers, speakers and

clearly realize about the relationship between technology and ethics, even though technology can advance their lives. As the technology develops,
people are facing a serious gap between human morality and the quick development of new technology. Unfortunately, ethical development cannot
easily catch up with the speed of technological progress. Thus, people are at the critical point of moral responsibility. Gyatso thinks the relationship is
an "unprecedented acquisition of knowledge and power that places us in a critical position at this time. The higher the level of knowledge and power,

Spheres in Scarlet Letter Essay
It was once said that "the only living societies are those which are animated by inequality and injustice." A man named Paul Claudel wrote this in his
work, Conversations dans le Loir–et–Cher, and he criticizes the ability to have a functional society. Societies are meant to organize the values of
people into a system with uniform laws and expectations; however, societies can never fully achieve this. Claudel only sees societies with
dysfunctional characteristics like inequality and injustice. There are always exceptions to the social order because all people are individuals with
different life experiences that help define who they are. Nathaniel Hawthorne also criticizes the Utopian ideals that societies often hold in his novel, The

This furthers the idea that Hester is completely ostracized from society because even those that are naГЇve of the letter's meaning will not accept her.
Hawthorne illustrates the isolation Hester experiences, as a result of wearing the scarlet letter, with the symbol of the sphere. Along with the negative
aspects of isolation, Hester realizes that being in her own sphere takes away many societal pressures to conform to a set of beliefs. When Hester
starts to come back in contact with society, she still feels as if she does not belong. Hester feels that all contact she has with others demonstrates that
she is "as much alone as if she inhabit[s] another sphere" (74). Even though she is physically in contact with others, Hester is still alone. She no
longer has to conform to the beliefs of her Puritan town because she "communicate[s] with the common nature" in different ways than "the rest of
human kind" (74). Because she is isolated, Hester "[stands] apart from [society's] moral interests, yet close beside them," meaning she can take a step
back to look at the views of the majority, but she has the option to make her own choices (74). Even though she feels separated from society, Hester
can still feel the influence of its beliefs. This idea is also illustrated with the location of Hester's

The Power of Love Encodes Our World
Imagine yourself in a world in which the profound emotional need of affectionate love was non–existent. If that world somehow came to existence,
what would then be the purpose and meaning of our lives? Now ask yourself, could you live a life with no purpose? Although the purpose of life is
entirely subjective to each individual, a reoccurring theme of love has been expressed through stories over thousands of years suggesting that the need
for love is deeply rooted within our very own being. Metamorphoses, a Latin narrative poem written by Roman poet Ovid, draws attention to change
and social cohesion mainly by transfiguring characters within the poems. By examining Ovid's Metamorphoses, specifically Book IX, glimpses of
social cohesion through the reoccurrence theme of love have been brought to light. Ovid bases these poems on deep emotions of affection contrary to
rational thinking while suggesting an encoded purpose of life: the need and search for deep affectionate love. While examining the poems within Book
IX one can understand that a flashing insight into love encodes our world through the fundamental relationship between the sexes and therefore unifies
our society by creating a sense of identity and purpose. Examining these two encodings will exemplify the understanding and discovery of what
suggests as being the purpose of life. Although the poems

How Is Kurtz Justified In A Civilized Society
Our expectations as a citizen of civilized society varies through time. 300 years ago, it was socially acceptable to own a slave, to hang
homosexuals and women were only allowed to cook, clean and tend to the children. In 2016 things changed. Society changed. You are now
expected to not own slaves or discriminate anyone due to their race or sexual orientation. Most people we look at as evil today, they were revered
as heroes in their time. People are also driven to extreme measures by their society and are told that what they are doing is justified. In Conrad's Heart

Even though he was withered away as a shell of his former self, Kurtz from Heart of Darkness still had a large amount of followers. Macbeth on
the other hand was known as a tyrant to his people and was driving the country to the ground. The name Kurtz itself has it's own legacy that people
seemed to gravitate towards. Almost everyone that Marlow met knew or admired Kurtz in some way shape or form, even Marlow was unable to
resist his gravitational pull. Even The accountant commented, "he is a very remarkable person" referring to Kurtz (16). And Marlow even said,
"Mr. Kurtz was a 'universal genius" (24). Almost all of the Europeans marveled at Kurtz's aptitude for ivory, and because of the European society
at this time, Kurtz was seen as a hero. He was widely respected because of his supernatural ability to harvest ivory faster than any other man.
Because his society valued this trait, Kurtz was able to win the approval of the European people. Kurtz not only gained the acceptance of the
Europeans, he was also able to become a "god" in the African society as well. He was so well–known that "the chiefs came every day to see him. They
would crawl..."(53). Kurtz had become so powerful in this African society that chiefs, other powerful men, would crawl in his presence. The fact
that these leaders were doing this for him, a foreigner to the land, showed how much respect he had earned from the natives. Kurtz enjoyed seeing
this. He enjoyed seeing others crawl in his presence and actually the Africans didn't mind either. Kurtz had a bad "superiority complex" and felt he
was too good for the others at the stations so he decided to make his own camp and rule it with his loyal subjects. He was so influential to his
followers they would kill each other and strip away their resources for him. On the day of his departure Kurtz's Intended came to the bank with Kurtz's

The And The Word Of Land By Daisy Miller
Daisy Miller examines European high society throughout the 1870s. The societal norms are placed firmly in the beliefs of the class system, social
status, and education: all of which are needed in order to successfully assimilate into the world of the upper class. Henry James makes it clear that
these norms make up the lives of the high society through his characterization of the "uncultivated" Daisy Miller. Daisy's character is questionable
throughout the novella, and the word "uncultivated" has been necessary to coming to that conclusion. Throughout Daisy Miller the word
"uncultivated" is a key component to grasping the complexities of Daisy's character. "Uncultivated" appears a total of four times: twice in each part.
Its meaning is not being highly educated and socially adept. Daisy proves to be unrefined throughout the novella. According to Winterbourne it's,
"impossible to regard her as a perfectly well–conducted young lady," due to her rendezvous about town. Daisy insists on going around with unknown
men, stays out all hours of the night, and employs Americanized standards. The first and second time "uncultivated" appears is within the same
paragraph when Winterbourne is speaking with his Aunt about Daisy. He states, "she is completely uncultivated...but she is wonderfully pretty, and, in
short, very nice," giving the reader a distinct idea of Daisy Miller's character and how she is received. Winterbourne's Aunt, Mrs. Costello, responds

Social Justice in Conseling
Social justice in counseling represents the process of reaching out to individuals with regard to the fair treatment of all. There are many aspects to
consider within the interaction between counselor and client in order to provide the most fairest treatment available. These aspects are derived from
the dynamics of the goals and process of the counseling session and constituted by policy and law development. The goals and processes are focused
upon embodying individual and family systems and the policies and law development is developed through advocacy of making the focus more just
and equal to the communities and society at large. Counseling professionals who are established in providing social justice in their framework focus
upon the principles of harmony, access, equity, and participation when developing interventions and programmatic responses to the needs of their
clients. The interventions and programmatic responses are designed to be comprehensive and preventive in nature. Harmony occurs when the needs of
the individuals produce results creating for better outcomes society as a whole, which establishes a societal balance. Societal balance is maintained
when the needs of individuals and minority groups are taken into account and placed into action. Access to social justice occurs when clients and those
within the family system are provided with power, knowledge, information, services, and resources critical to healthy development and
self–determination.

More successful utilization of little gatherings or groups in an association has been recommended as a method for expanding inspiration at work,

Hierarchical and mechanical clinicians have been keen on the comprehension and use of little gathering procedures in associations from Hawthorne

In Nuerland the tribe is divided into three separate groups. These will be referred to as primary, secondary and tertiary sections. They are all segments
of each other as the primary is a segment of a tribe, secondary segment of the primary, and tertiary segment of the secondary (Evens–Prichard, 1940).
Members of these segments only regard themselves as a member of that segment in relation to segments of the same kind (Evens–Prichard, 1940). For
the Nuer there is always an inconsistency between definitions of your political group as your membership is only determined by your non–membership
of other groups (Evens–Prichard, 1940, p. 282). Specifically, in Nuerland, the tribal system is relative. It cannot be described in the terms of a political
morphology as their relations are so dynamic.
Similarly, the Nuer segment themselves through a lineage systems. The Nuer clan is a highly segmented system in the same way as the tribal system.
The clan is segmented into the maximal lineages which separate in major lineages which go into minimal which turn into minor lineages

In Edith Wharton's, The House of Mirth, there is an unapologetic use of people as a a sign value in society. As Lily interacts with others, she is
evaluated for her worth; Gus Trenor puts down real money in order to buy Lily's companionship and Rosedale desires her to be his wife, but it is
primarily so that they can increase their social status. However, men are not the only ones to use people in this way. Lily evaluates the men on the
market, looking to gain a husband to support her expensive lifestyle. Lily's inability to follow through and marry the wealthy men she captivates is
contrasted with the actions of the other women, making Lily the outlier of this society rather than the norm. By exploring the events and language
within The House of Mirth, the way in which people are used to maintain or increase social status becomes clear, further distinguished by some key
difference in regards to gender roles. Gus Trenor's use of language goes through a distinct change during his late night conversation with Lily. The
dialogue begins with the usual civilities, but as Lily becomes uneasy with the situation Gus's language shifts into a more business driven tone. It is
possible the shift comes because he is accustomed to the language though his job, but it is more likely because he views women as commodities. First,

There are various institutional systems that are part of our world. Population, production, regulation, distribution and reproduction are all forces that
create potential problems that lead to the creation of institutional systems. In other words, institutional systems are created because of the given
selection pressures. The main goal of any institution is to provide solutions for selection pressures, many of them can even help to resolve multiple
issues. For example, when it is needed to reproduce biologically and culturally, the institution of kinship aids to resolve the pressures of reproduction. In
the same way, when it is needed to regulate the individuals in society, religion could help fulfill the selection pressures of regulation. Education, like
kinship, helps to reproduce culturally and also regulate the roles of individuals. Just like these three institutions, the others also play a role in resolving
other selection pressures. Kinship, religion and education, however, will be the main focus of this paper given that they are the institutions that mainly
aid to the selection pressures of reproduction, population and regulation. Kinship is the institution that resolves the issue of reproduction (until the

  • 1. Distinct Societies Developed In New England And The... Jacob Fine Mr. Rhodes 12–9–15 APUSH 1. Distinct societies developed in New England and the Chesapeake bay by 1700 due to the fact that they had different motives . From a social perspective, New England's intent was to explore and discover new lands where they could in search of religious freedom, while the Chesapeake society explored their new lands in a quest for material wealth. Economically, New England aimed to profit from nature, by lumbering, fishing, and trading, yet the Chesapeake society wanted on to make their fortune through growing tobacco. From a religious standpoint, the government of New England was created with the intent of escaping the reach and persecution of the powerful english church, while the Chesapeake region was more focused on following traditional english religion. 2. The French and Indian War considerably changed the economic, political, and ideological connections that bonded America and Great Britain. Economic policies that Britain forced upon young America angered colonists leading them to refuse to consume or import british goods. The political connection that linked America and Great Britain deteriorated as a result of the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The new group born from this division of ideology was the patriots who aimed for change and wanted to disconnect themselves from the tyranny of the rule of Great British. Opposing this new ideology, loyalists, a group that supported British rule of the colonies, benefited from an English controlled government, and continued to aid and support the British, uniting with them in the war . Neutrals were individuals who had no strong opinions regarding the conflict, and avoided confrontation by taking no side in the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Health Care, Preventative Medicine, And Wellness Programs The traditional meaning of progress is advancing toward any specific goal. A goal can vary from a promotion at work or purchasing a home to starting a family or learning to speak a foreign language. Considering the variations in goals, how then is progress measured? Can it be universal? Unrestricted? Or is it personal and exclusive? The term 'progress' fluctuates in meaning depending on who the term is being applied to in addition to the sense in which it is being discussed. Medically, technologically, and socially are some manners that progress affects larger and increasingly immense populations; nevertheless, there are countless other forms of progress, both individual and world–wide. On a universal scale, diverse groups of people uniting and approaching a common target is progress. Because progress is never truly achieved, rather, the goal simply changes, evolution and growth are everlasting. A countless multitude of achievements have been actualized across the globe and an infinite many more will be realized in the future. Health care, preventative medicine, and wellness programs have extended to a considerable mass of underprivileged countries; meanwhile, larger and wealthier nations have engineered numerous advancements in the medical field. Assorted technologies have assisted in said improvements. Not only have these developments encouraged the medical field in generating improvements, but have also employed distinct techniques to better connect people across the ...

  • 3. Three Spheres of an Argument According to Goodnight, there are three spheres of an argument. These spheres are personal, public and technical. Arguments in the personal sphere are often unrestricted and unsophisticated interactions with family and friends. Arguments in the technical sphere are based on a specific expertise or specialized knowledge. Arguments in the public sphere transcend private and specialized communities and engage the public at large. The public sphere provides a forum for the resolution of controversy and for public deliberation. Goodnight (1985) theorizes: Members of "societies" and "historical cultures" participate in vast and not altogether coherent superstructures which invite them to channel doubts through prevailing discourse practices. In the democratic tradition, we can categorize these channels as the personal, the technical and the public spheres. "Sphere" denotes branches of activity–the grounds upon which arguments are built and the authorities to which arguers appeal. (p.2) Goodnight contends that the independence of each of these spheres is governed by a different set of standards and thus is distinct from each of the others. For example "the independence of the spheres is protected by a variety of laws protecting privacy and discouraging government intervention in private affairs" (Goodnight, p.3). However, he also suggests that the borders between these spheres are not inflexible and at times argument can exist within multiple spheres simultaneously. Goodnight ...

  • 4. The First Civilizations : The Rise Of Civilization The first civilizations, the foundations for future empires, were all founded and created between 3500 B.C.E. and 500 B.C.E. by groups of nomadic peoples who decided to settle in an area for certain group specific reasons. Some of the main states of the first civilization were Mesopotamia, Norte Chico, Egypt, Indus Valley, China, and Olmec. The second wave civilizations, built between 500 B.C.E. and 500 C.E., included the Persians, the Greeks, Romans, Chinese (Qin and Han), and India (Mauryan and Gupta). The first wave civilizations were sparked by the agricultural movement that led to the settlement of large groups of people in areas that became the cities and states that formed these first civilizations. The rise of civilization led to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The key similarities between the two waves of civilizations are important and were continued throughout history even further than the empires of the second wave. These similarities included slavery, treatment of women, and the patriarch and monarch rulers; these similarities were intertwined in both waves. Hierarchies of gender declared that women and men were not equal because "to be gendered as masculine or feminine defines the roles and behavior considered appropriate for men and women in every human community." The hierarchy of gender led to the creation of patriarchy, the concept that women are lesser or subordinate to men in all aspects of life. This idea of patriarchy meant sons were valued more than daughters, men had more opportunities in society and with jobs, the opportunity to rule, and men were the heads of their households. However, this wasn't true for every society, even in the first civilizations there were cities and groups of people living within some states that allowed women to do what they wanted to do out in society. The Egyptians were a good example of equality as women were legally viewed equal to men. They were able to own land and slaves, initiate divorce, and rarely they would reach the position of queen, the most famous being Hatshepsut. On the more extreme side, in ancient Mesopotamia, patriarchy took root quickly in the form of actual written law. The code of Hammurabi was created in 1750 B.C.E. creating very submissive laws for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. The Veil: Definition Of Civilization What is civilization? People have countless meanings of this word based on their personal reasoning. The book definition of civilization is the stage of human social development and organization that is considered most advanced. Civilization is a community of people who are living together. These people share beliefs, religion, and language. They live in the same region and come together to live more efficiently. Individuals in these communities grow up with the common beliefs and culture of their civilizations, "they have been brought up in a certain part of the world, they have formed perhaps quite unconsciously a deep attachment to its landscape and speech, its traditional customs, its food and drink, its songs and jokes" (Priestly 230). If the people in these communities are attached to their region, as Priestly expresses, then they're more likely to contribute to their civilization. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... When the people who form these communities want to work on the development of their civilization then they must contemplate ideas better than ever before. That will guide them to being able to perform tasks more efficiently. Intelligence will develop naturally as new ways of thinking form. There will be a variety of thought processes, beliefs, and other aspects of a civilization in different societies. They may be based on where a civilization is located, the people of which it's composed, or simply on past events and experiences. Regardless of the reason civilizations will always operate differently.

  • 6. Quebec: Distinct Society Essay Quebec: A Distinct Society (?) The concept of recognizing Quebec as a distinct society is an idea that has been kicking around for some time, but just what does it mean and what are its broader implications? This paper will examine the origins of the term, what it means, and its historical context. It will then examine rival interpretations of federalism. The essay will conclude with an in–depth examination of the concept's involvement with the failed constitutional accords and the failed Quebec succession attempts. The term "distinct society" was a political notion used during constitutional debates during the Meech Lake accord and the Charlottetown accord. Its meaning is somewhat vague and controversial.

Quebec Separation 1980,1995 In 1980 The PQ government called a referendum asking weather Quebec should have a new agreement with the rest of Canada. The No side won by a slim margin. In response to the referendum Pierre Trudeau promised to reform the Constitution. "Do you want "a new agreement with the rest of Canada, based on the equality of nations"? That was the heart of the question placed before the people of Quebec in the May 20, 1980 referendum. RenГ© LГ©vesque's Parti QuГ©bГ©cois was asking Quebecers for a mandate to negotiate "sovereignty–association", an idea that inflamed federalists and separatists alike. In 1995 the PQ Government led by Parizeau again flirted with the idea of "sovereignty association". The No side squeaked out a marginal victory. ""ГЂ la prochaine fois!" (Until next time!) promised RenГ© LГ©vesque after the 1980 Quebec referendum. Fifteen years later, on Oct. 30, 1995, Quebec and the rest of Canada faced that "next time" as Quebecers decided whether to separate from Canada. Though they voted to stay by the narrowest of margins, the referendum provoked questions about Canadian identity and Quebec's place in Confederation."

  • 8. The Importance Of Religion In Colonial New England Although European colonists traveled to colonial New England for a variety of reasons, they embraced Christianity as the primary purpose for their journeys. Furthermore, religion had a profound effect on everyday society and political hierarchies. From enforced morality to Indian conflicts, religion tended to destabilize numerous colonies and even led to unjustifiable atrocities like the Salem Witch Trials. Nevertheless, without a religious influence, the timeline of New World progression and territory would have been suspended indefinitely. Becausereligion primarily influenced the establishment of the colonies and numerous aspects of politics, it played an integral role in colonial New England society. Even with distinct religious motives splitting the early arrivals, the settlers clearly viewed Christianity as the reason for their departure. Separatists and Puritans differed on their ultimate reason for sailing thousands of miles from home. While Separatists wanted to completely isolate themselves from England to achieve a godly society, Puritans desired to provide an ideal example for how English Christians should live. This early instance foreshadows the numerous interpretations of Christianity which would lead to undesirable outcomes. However, even with these differences, religious motivation definitively proves itself as the primary factor for travel.

  • 9. We The People And Others By John S. Furnivall A plural society defines social structure that consist/comprises of different communities, races, cultures or other social groupings. A plural society is formed when one or more different integrate into one singular society. Although a plural society is a grouping of differences, it seems being a plural society only serves to make them more distinct from each other. From the early uses of the label plural society, there seems not an intention for it serve as a complete integration, but their coexistence in a singular structure. There are many different types of plural society as there's not only the defined different plural societies but also, the evolution of the plural society concept itself has forged different meanings for a plural society....

Furnivall's early use of plural society "The relations between the whites and each of the non–white groups were crystallized and stabilized even in the colonial days into a structure akin to what Furnivall labeled a plural society in his study of tropical dependencies"(Ringer) He then proceeds to describe how this type of plural society is related to slavery and the constitution excluded non–white from the said people's domain of the constitution, the black and native Americans continued to be treated as the conquered or property. Also, "The structure of relations between the whites and each of the other races continued in the colonist model of a plural society"(Ringer).

  • 11. Exile As A Catalyst For Self Reflection And Personal... Exile is one of the most severe punishments, yet it is a catalyst for self reflection and personal development. Aldous Huxley 's World State is presented through the interactions of characters who are, at some degree, exiled. Whether physically, or metaphysically, these characters find isolation to be as punishing as it is insightful. One particular individual, John, stands among the rest of the characters as one who society rejects. In Malpais, John was ostracized as the son of a promiscuous, "New World–er". In London, John was never truly "accepted" by society as an equal, but rather looked at "like a piece of meat". John 's position between civilizations allows him to develop a unique position on society. Through his experiences with social rejection, John develops as one of the most complex characters in literature. John illuminates the meaning of the work through serving as a unique human character that the reader can identify with. His thoughts and actions, bold, as they are self–destructive, give a unique view of of a human society without humanity. John dwells not within the society of Malpais, which rejects him for his heritage, nor within London, which rejects him for his misguided idealism. Instead, John finds sanctum in what he learns from Shakespearean literature. The rift developed between John and his birthplace on the savage reservation represents his exile from a "normal" society to the World State 's, "perfect" society.

However, they were not able to legalize these policies, only to give opinions on these matters (Acrobatiq, 2017). Eventually, four legislative assemblies were put into place with each having its own role (enforcing the law, war decisions, etc.). However, when the republic of Rome was established consuls were created to take executive action over matters regarding the state and the judicial system was established to determine city moral and consequences. The consuls partook in matters of law enforcement, religious laws, and war actions. Essentially, the emperor was the highest political power in Rome who held control over all these offices. Although, he was the highest power, he still was influenced by those in the senate and consul to make decisions because that is what he was bound by in action.

  • 14. Happiness In Chris Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, By Chris... Happiness: an idea so abstract and intangible that it requires one usually a lifetime to discover. Many quantify happiness to their monetary wealth, their materialistic empire, or time spent in relationships. However, others qualify happiness as a humble campaign to escape the squalor and dilapidation of oppressive societies, to educate oneself on the anatomy of the human soul, and to locate oneself in a world where being happy dissolves from a number to a spiritual existence. Correspondingly, Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and Krakauer's Into the Wild illuminate the struggles of contentment through protagonists, which venture against norms in their dystopian or dissatisfying societies to find the virtuous refuge of happiness. Manifestly, societal assimilation, familial antagonism, and communal ethnocentrism all catalyze one's ordained crusade to pursuit the empirical element of happiness. One commonality both protagonists share is that of their natural or influenced inclination to reject societal assimilation in gamble for happiness. Chris McCandless explains that people are too "conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism," and though such conditions are comforting, a "secure future" is "damaging to the adventurous spirit" (Krakauer 57). Evidently, people today are too cowardly to interrupt the stability and economic construction of their lives in exchange for an unsecured and wagered life of exploration, adventure, and liberty.

  • 15. The Han And Roman Attitudes Towards Technology Han and Roman Attitudes Towards Advancement The Han and Roman worlds were two of the largest and most complex early empires composed of different cultures, political systems, languages, beliefs, and ways of living. However, they had a few similarities; one of which is the introduction of various technologies during the first and second millennium. The Han in China and Romans in the Mediterranean experienced a time period of expansion in which they began to develop technology such as metallurgy and water systems to aid in military conquests and practical purposes. Although both Han and Roman had definite appreciation towards technology, the Han attitude towards technology was more glorifying in its effectiveness and utility; while the roman attitude was less glorifying as they focused on technology to display their civilizations advancements, while they neglected to glorify those who worked with tools. Han's attitude towards technology was appreciative, glorified technology when its is supported by the government, and believed technology is essential for the empire. The Roman attitude includes inferiority of tools, aestheticism as main use of technology, and less glorification and importance on technology.

Unfortunately, this is a common way of thinking; assuming that society as a whole is just becoming dumber as time progresses. However, contrary to popular belief, people are not dumbing down. In fact, just the opposite is true, and in his book Everything Bad is Good For You, Steven Johnson explains how as time progresses, Americans in general are becoming smarter without even noticing it. Johnson calls it the sleeper curve, and although he doesn't explicitly define it, it is basically a theory that suggests that there are subconscious benefits to the increase in complexity of everyday things like movies, TV shows, and video games.

This is a clear sign that the problem solving skills of people in general have increased. "They've learned general rules for probing and exploring a piece of technology, rules that come in handy no matter what model VCR you put in front of them" (177). This idea manifests itself in different ways. It allows things like video game designers to withhold rules of the game, and requires players to figure it out through playing, or from prior knowledge in games (178).

Specifically, we adopt in this work the method SACI cite{jws2015}. SACI is relevant to our goal since it was originally proposed for estimating efficiently collective sentiment on data samples, instead of aggregating the sentiment derived for each individual document. Further, the authors demonstrated that SACI is more effective in estimating the collective opinion than aggregation–based SA methods. SACI represents $O$ as a distribution probability among the sentiment classes positive, negative and neutral. Thus, we split $D$ into time units of equal size (e.g., days, weeks, months). Then, we estimate the collective opinion $O_t$ using only the posts belonging to each distinct time unit $t$. Finally, we perform a visual inspection on the derived distributions. The more dynamic a domain, the more different are opinions estimated on distinct time units.looseness=–1 In turn, we measure drifts on the subset of opinion–leaders over time as follows.

Amir–Ebrahimi, a scholar on women's physical role in the public in the Middle East supports this by saying "This frequent presence in the different public spaces gave women a new consciousness about themselves and their individual and citizen rights in the society." These changes can also be attributed to the want of women to continue life in the public sphere, and to show the government that they would not become disenfranchised, but rather they would embed the idea of women being an important pillar in Tehranian public life and culture.

Today we will discuss one of the most prominent civilizations of the middle kingdom, the Eltanin civilization. Now before we jump in let's talk about what exactly is a civilization. Textbook definition defines it as: the process by which a society or place reaches an advanced stage of social development and organization, but a civilization is more than just that. It is the culture a group of people possesses which is sustained over a period of time which shapes history in one way or another. Most civilizations all stemmed from one life changing event, the agricultural revolution. As the first agricultural revolution occurred from 10,000 BC to 2000 BC, people started to settle and cultivate land by planting crops and raising animals. Although blossoming from different areas around the world, they all had certain similar aspects such as developing unique ways of supporting themselves and upholding their society. The start of this transition is known as the middle kingdom.

Habermas writes: "the audience does not constitute a space for spectators and listeners but a space for speakers and addresses who engage in debate." (Habermas in Balme 2012).

Hawthorne illustrates the isolation Hester experiences, as a result of wearing the scarlet letter, with the symbol of the sphere. Along with the negative aspects of isolation, Hester realizes that being in her own sphere takes away many societal pressures to conform to a set of beliefs. When Hester starts to come back in contact with society, she still feels as if she does not belong. Hester feels that all contact she has with others demonstrates that she is "as much alone as if she inhabit[s] another sphere" (74). Even though she is physically in contact with others, Hester is still alone. She no longer has to conform to the beliefs of her Puritan town because she "communicate[s] with the common nature" in different ways than "the rest of human kind" (74). Because she is isolated, Hester "[stands] apart from [society's] moral interests, yet close beside them," meaning she can take a step back to look at the views of the majority, but she has the option to make her own choices (74).

Ogden LIBS 7015: World Mythologies 18 August 2014 The Power of Love Encodes Our World Imagine yourself in a world in which the profound emotional need of affectionate love was non–existent. If that world somehow came to existence, what would then be the purpose and meaning of our lives? Now ask yourself, could you live a life with no purpose? Although the purpose of life is entirely subjective to each individual, a reoccurring theme of love has been expressed through stories over thousands of years suggesting that the need for love is deeply rooted within our very own being. Metamorphoses, a Latin narrative poem written by Roman poet Ovid, draws attention to change and social cohesion mainly by transfiguring characters within the poems. By examining Ovid's Metamorphoses, specifically Book IX, glimpses of social cohesion through the reoccurrence theme of love have been brought to light. Ovid bases these poems on deep emotions of affection contrary to rational thinking while suggesting an encoded purpose of life: the need and search for deep affectionate love. While examining the poems within Book IX one can understand that a flashing insight into love encodes our world through the fundamental relationship between the sexes and therefore unifies our society by creating a sense of identity and purpose. Examining these two encodings will exemplify the understanding and discovery of what suggests as being the purpose of life. Although the poems ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

He was widely respected because of his supernatural ability to harvest ivory faster than any other man. Because his society valued this trait, Kurtz was able to win the approval of the European people.

The societal norms are placed firmly in the beliefs of the class system, social status, and education: all of which are needed in order to successfully assimilate into the world of the upper class. Henry James makes it clear that these norms make up the lives of the high society through his characterization of the "uncultivated" Daisy Miller. Daisy's character is questionable throughout the novella, and the word "uncultivated" has been necessary to coming to that conclusion. Throughout Daisy Miller the word "uncultivated" is a key component to grasping the complexities of Daisy's character. "Uncultivated" appears a total of four times: twice in each part. Its meaning is not being highly educated and socially adept. Daisy proves to be unrefined throughout the novella. According to Winterbourne it's, "impossible to regard her as a perfectly well–conducted young lady," due to her rendezvous about town. Daisy insists on going around with unknown men, stays out all hours of the night, and employs Americanized standards. The first and second time "uncultivated" appears is within the same paragraph when Winterbourne is speaking with his Aunt about Daisy. He states, "she is completely uncultivated...but she is wonderfully pretty, and, in short, very nice," giving the reader a distinct idea of Daisy Miller's character and how she is received.

They are all segments of each other as the primary is a segment of a tribe, secondary segment of the primary, and tertiary segment of the secondary (Evens–Prichard, 1940). Members of these segments only regard themselves as a member of that segment in relation to segments of the same kind (Evens–Prichard, 1940). For the Nuer there is always an inconsistency between definitions of your political group as your membership is only determined by your non–membership of other groups (Evens–Prichard, 1940, p. 282). Specifically, in Nuerland, the tribal system is relative. It cannot be described in the terms of a political morphology as their relations are so dynamic. Similarly, the Nuer segment themselves through a lineage systems. The Nuer clan is a highly segmented system in the same way as the tribal system. The clan is segmented into the maximal lineages which separate in major lineages which go into minimal which turn into minor lineages (Evens–Prichard, 1940, pp. 286–287). Similarly to the tribal system lineages are only distinct groups in relation to each other. Although every Nuer village is related to a lineage this does not mean that members of the lineage are only found within a single localised community. Rather Nuer clans are dispersed throughout many villages and one may find representatives of many clans within a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 38. Similarities Between Mormonism And Rastafarians Religion as a collective is constantly moving, changing, evolving. With the introduction of New Religious Movements, pluralism, globalization and glocalization, interfaith initiatives it seems safe to say that religion will forever remain fluid and changing, as faiths adapt to culture, society, and the needs of their followers they will not die out. I believe that Mormonism and Rastafarians show this with great abundance. While both Rastafarians and Mormonism share a good amount of similar thoughts, they also cater to very separate demographics. I realize in writing that statement how counterintuitive it sounds, thus, first we will explore how Rastafi and Mormons are similar in their faiths. Both the Mormon and Rastafarian movements cater to very specific demographics. Mormonism caters to those who believe that the Christian Church lost it's way after the death of Christ, "and restore what the Mormons consider true Christianity, as opposed to apostasy (abandonment of principles) which they feel characterizes the Christian churches. (1)" While Rastafari caters to an ethnic group that has experienced severe oppression at the hands of 'Babylon', "they intend to revive the 'Way of the Ancients,' their concept of the lost civilization of precolonial Africa, and to free people of African extraction from subservience.

  • 39. House Of Mirth Character Analysis In Edith Wharton's, The House of Mirth, there is an unapologetic use of people as a a sign value in society. As Lily interacts with others, she is evaluated for her worth; Gus Trenor puts down real money in order to buy Lily's companionship and Rosedale desires her to be his wife, but it is primarily so that they can increase their social status. However, men are not the only ones to use people in this way. Lily evaluates the men on the market, looking to gain a husband to support her expensive lifestyle. Lily's inability to follow through and marry the wealthy men she captivates is contrasted with the actions of the other women, making Lily the outlier of this society rather than the norm. By exploring the events and language within The House of Mirth, the way in which people are used to maintain or increase social status becomes clear, further distinguished by some key difference in regards to gender roles. Gus Trenor's use of language goes through a distinct change during his late night conversation with Lily. The dialogue begins with the usual civilities, but as Lily becomes uneasy with the situation Gus's language shifts into a more business driven tone. It is possible the shift comes because he is accustomed to the language though his job, but it is more likely because he views women as commodities. First, he confronts Lily for not wanting to spend as much time with his as she does Judy and for not giving him attention at the "vulgar party" (Wharton 142) he lowered ...

  • 40. Institutional Systems And The Selection Pressures Of... There are various institutional systems that are part of our world. Population, production, regulation, distribution and reproduction are all forces that create potential problems that lead to the creation of institutional systems. In other words, institutional systems are created because of the given selection pressures. The main goal of any institution is to provide solutions for selection pressures, many of them can even help to resolve multiple issues. For example, when it is needed to reproduce biologically and culturally, the institution of kinship aids to resolve the pressures of reproduction. In the same way, when it is needed to regulate the individuals in society, religion could help fulfill the selection pressures of regulation. Education, like kinship, helps to reproduce culturally and also regulate the roles of individuals. Just like these three institutions, the others also play a role in resolving other selection pressures. Kinship, religion and education, however, will be the main focus of this paper given that they are the institutions that mainly aid to the selection pressures of reproduction, population and regulation. Kinship is the institution that resolves the issue of reproduction (until the population gets large). As stated previously, a society needs to reproduce biologically, social structurally and culturally. The explanation that Turner provides for kinship is that it allows "marriage and blood ties organized into structures and mediated by ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 41. Gilgamesh Categories As we look back in time, ages ago, humans had organized ways of living. Scientist have found that it is easiest to classify their body into seven categories. These categories consist of urban focus, new political and military structures, new social structure based on economic power, the development of more complexity in a material sense, a distinct religious structure, the development of writing, and new and significant artistic and intellectual activity. Each of these categories played a key role in the effectiveness in which their societies were ran. We have been able to find evidence from as far back as 250,000 years ago. In the beginning the societies that developed up in Mesopotamia were agriculturally centered. They were not very populated. At first we relied primarily on our own skills of hunting animals for their meet and picking berries and plants along the way. Which forced the Hunter–Gatherers from the Paleolithic Age to continually be on the move. Eventually they learned the glory of cultivating their own crops and growing the food for...

They kept records on the clay, but eventually brought writing into the schools, government and military. These people would share stories, including one named The Epic of Gilgamesh. The story is near identical to the biblical story of Noah building his boat to save the selected animal and people fromt the Great Flood. In the Epic of Gilgamesh their god saw how uproared the people were and decided on creating a mass flood to wipe most life out. As in the bible, the man was told to build a boat and wait out the storm. Birds were used as messengers to let them know when the storm was over. The Epic of GIlgamesh was written down on the clay.
