Power Point (PP): Suffrage Movement
Introduction
· The quarter century before the outbreak of WWI came to be known as the Belle Epoque (1880-1914)
· The period between 1880 and 1914 was an era of hopefulness.
· By 1900, Europe led the way in inventions and new ideas.
· Europe had healthy industrial and agricultural sectors which experienced continued economic growth despite mounting global competition.
· Population benefited from sufficient food and from rapidly expanding industrial power. People began living longer and also demanding a better standard of living.
Education
· The percentage of the population able to read and write rose rapidly in Europe as states enacted educational reforms during the last 2 decades of the 19th century.
· The British Parliament passed a law in 1880 requiring that all children attend school up to age 10, and after 1988 children had to attend until the age of 12.
· In 1910 the British Parliament also waved school fees and truancy officers made their appearance in working class neighborhoods when children skipped school. This sometimes led to conflicts with parents who needed income from children’s labor.
· In France, the Ferry Laws 1879-1881 made primary schools free, obligatory and secular for all children from age 3 to 13.
· Similar laws were passed throughout Europe.
· Mass education in European countries increased the number of people who could speak and read the dominant language – part of nation building - and increased feelings of belonging to the nation.
· Secondary schools also increased rapidly.
· The French government in the last decades of the 19th century augmented educational opportunity for women by training thousands of female teachers, women were allowed to teach boys, but men were not allowed to teach girls.
· Schooling for boys and girls alike stressed patriotic, secular and politically conservative themes.
· Textbooks counseled “patient resignation” to one’s economic and social condition, with one popular French book in 1882 showing a picture of a woman desperately trying to persuade her husband not to go on strike.
Age of Progress (Belle Epoque) – Technology
· Technological advances characterized the century’s last decades in Europe.
· The underpinnings of this revolution was the triumph of mass productions and new technologies.
· The sewing machine, invented by American Isaac Singer, began to be used in homes in the 1850s.
· The mechanization of the production of ready-made clothing rapidly extended consumer markets, setting styles and reducing the price of clothing.
· The garment industry – attracting Jewish immigrants to Paris and especially New York – remained largely tied to home work as women and some men worked sewing machines in their apartments and in cramped sweatshops, turning out ready-made cloaks and dresses.
· Singer marketed his machine as a device that would liberate women from tedious work, but the sewing machine also bound many women to the hectic pace of piece .

In the 18th century, transportation was primitive by today's standards. The majority of the time if you wanted to go anywhere you either walked or rode a horse on trails or rough roads. Most folks could not afford carriages or wagons. People traveled from one country to the next by small wooden ships or stagecoach services.

Home4 Why Europe and not China?
1. Why does Landes think that China would not have developed an industrial revolution on its own? (Landes 2006 “Why Europe and the West? Why not China?” is posted on file)
2. Why does he think that China failed to learn new technologies from Europeans in the period after 1500?
3. In Landes’ view, what did Europe have that China lacked? That is, what did Europe have that permitted it to have an industrial revolution?
4. What does Pomeranz say about the factors that Landes identifies as the crucial features of European society that permitted it to have an industrial revolution? Why does he say that these features did not matter?
5. What does Pomeranz think are the crucial factors that enabled Europe to have an industrial revolution?
Note: You can learn about Pomeranz’s ideas from Marks, pp 104-118.(Already posted it on file)
required that all goods be transported in their ships, and forced European
New World colonists to trade only with the mother country, even if
smuggling made such a policy somewhat porous. Mercantilist ideas also
led to policies that states should use their own raw materials to
manufacture within their own borders anything that was imported, an
action we saw the English take in the early 1700s to keep Indian cotton
textiles out. Although mercantilist policies did indeed lead to the
establishment of industries in European states, industrialization itself was
not the object: keeping gold and silver from flowing out of the state and
enriching others was. European states were obsessed with their silver
stocks: ‘‘the more silver, the stronger the state’’ was how a German once
put it.40
In these inter-European wars, the fates and fortunes of various states
rose and fell. As we have already seen, by the end of the sixteenth century,
Spain’s power had begun to wane, and Portugal proved to be too small to
mount much of a challenge to the French (or Spanish) in Europe, or to the
Dutch in Asian waters. The Dutch, being among the first Europeans to
apply vast amounts of capital to their trading enterprises in both Asia and
the Americas, saw their fortunes peak in the seventeenth century, just as
the French and the British were gaining power. Ultimately, though, the
Dutch did not have the manpower to build a standing army sufficiently
large to counter the French, and they ultimately allied with the British to
offset French power on the continent. By the eighteenth century, Britain
and France had emerged from the seventeenth-century crisis as the two
most powerful and competitive European states. (See map 3.1.)
The Seven Years’ War, 1756–1763
As the strongest and most successful European states, England and France
competed not just in Europe but in the Americas and Asia as well. In the
‘‘long’’ eighteenth century from 1689 to 1815, Britain and France fought
five wars, only one of which Britain did not initiate. Their engagement

Textbook:
Leadership: Enhancing the Lessons of Experience
Background Information
In this discussion, you will consider the various definitions of leadership as provided in the textbook from the authors' review of literature in the field of leadership. You will also explore the concept of leadership as both rational and emotional as well as the differences between the roles of a manager versus the roles of a leader.
The concept of followership is also introduced in this assignment's reading from the textbook, as well as the growing role of women in leadership positions and responsibilities.
Instructions
Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
Review Chapter 1, "What Do We Mean by Leadership?", in our textbook. As you review, reflect upon the definitions of leadership and how these definitions and other aspects of leadership add to your prior understanding of a leader's role in an organization.
Conduct a critical analysis of the postings by two of your classmates from the posts submitted in 1.2 by the end of the workshop and should be written as if you were reviewing their posting in an academic journal. Your discussion response should, therefore, answer the following questions as applicable:
Were three leadership definitions clearly defined with examples and clear, insightful critical thinking? Comment on two of the three definitions of leadership presented in the post of your classmates. Do you agree or disagree with their interpretation of the definition of leadership? Provide rationale from personal examples or subject matter expert opinions.
Did the discussion of leadership as an art or a science include a detailed explanation that demonstrates clear, insightful critical thinking? Review your classmates' posts. Does their explanation support defining leadership as either an “art” or a “science”? Explain.
Was the concept of spiritual gifts effectively discussed, relating the concept to that of leadership styles?
In addition to commenting on the critical thinking displayed in the post, offer your comments on the original post and provide your overall agreement or disagreement with the poster’s concept of leadership.

¿Cómo impacta la novela a la historia de Puerto Rico?
Yeralis M. Rivera Arguinzoni
B00569846
Dra. Vilma Pizarro
Historia de Puerto rico
Universidad Interamericana Recinto de Barranquitas
Comienzos de la novela en Puerto Rico
La literatura en Puerto Rico comienza a finales del siglo XIX.
Movimiento del romanticismo( Europa: Alemania, Inglaterra y España)
Géneros literarios: Poesía, teatro, ensayo y narrativa( novela, cuentos, leyendas, etc.).
La novela es el último género en llegar a Puerto Rico y a América.
En estas novelas trataban los temas de: el amor a la patria, el destino, la muerte, Dios y el progreso, entre otros.
La primera novela puertorriqueña
Hay dos teorías sobre la primer novela puertorriqueña:
Luz y Sombra(1893) = Escrita por Ana Roque de Duprey, primera novela escrita en Puerto Rico.
“La Peregrinación de Bayoán”(1863) = Escrita por Eugenio María de Hostos, primera novela escrita por un puertorriqueño pero es escrita en España. Esta es la mas aceptada como la primera novela puertorriqueña. Su tema principal era la lucha por la identidad del puertorriqueño. Ideas políticas y sociales de Hostos luego del grito de Lares y el grito de Yara(Cuba), fueron expresadas en esta novela.
Otros escritores importantes de la época
Manuel Zeno Gandía = Considerado como el más grande novelista de Puerto Rico. Sus obras: “La Charca”, “Garduña” y “El Negocio”, conocidas como “Crónicas de un mundo enfermo”, se escriben ya bajo el naturalismo. Presentan a un Puerto Rico enfermo y la situación crítica de un Puerto Rico abandonado por España.
Enrique A. Laguerre = Sus obras más importantes: “La Resaca” y “La llamarada”. Sus obras presentan la pésima situación de vida del campesinado a finales del siglo XIX.

As previously noted, the Brocks have some of their investment portfolio in conservative stocks. These equities have had very slow growth while regularly paying a small dividend.
Pam and Josh have received several emails recently with suggestions about various biotechnology, retailing, and environmental companies. The investment advisers believe that these industries would provide an opportunity for strong long-term financial gains.
In recent years, the Brocks have made extensive use of mutual funds in their investment portfolio. However, they are concerned that their selection of the funds may not be coordinated. With over 9,200 different mutual funds available, this financial marketplace is confusing.
The Brocks start the evaluation process by connecting various types of mutual funds to their investments goals. Next, they assess the past performance and management of the funds. Finally, they talk with various financial advisers and other investors to gather additional information.

2-1 IntroductionUber Technologies Inc. (Uber) is a tech startu.docxherminaprocter
2-1 Introduction
Uber Technologies Inc. (Uber) is a tech startup that provides ride-sharing services by
facilitating a connection between independent contractors (drivers) and riders with the use
of an app. Uber has expanded its operations to 425 cities in 72 countries around the world
and is valued at around $70 billion, making it the world’s most valuable startup.
Approximately 30 million users use Uber’s services monthly. Uber has become a key player
in the sharing economy, a new economic model in which independent contractors rent out
their underutilized resources such as vehicles or lodging to other consumers. The sharing
economy is quickly becoming an alternative to owning resources outright. Because its
services cost less than taking a traditional taxi, Uber and similar ride-sharing services have
upended the taxi industry. The company has experienced resounding success and is
looking toward expansion both internationally and within the United States.
However, Uber’s rapid success is creating challenges in the form of legal and regulatory,
social, and technical obstacles. The taxi industry, for instance, is arguing that Uber has an
unfair advantage because it does not face the same licensing requirements as they do.
Others accuse Uber of not vetting their drivers, creating potentially unsafe situations. Some
major cities are banning ride-sharing services like Uber because of these various concerns.
Additionally, Uber has faced various lawsuits, including a lawsuit filed by its independent
contractors. Its presence in the market has influenced lawmakers to draft new regulations to
govern this “app-driven” ride-sharing system. Legislation can often hinder a company’s
expansion opportunities because of the resources it must expend to comply with regulatory
requirements. Uber has been highly praised for giving independent contractors an opportunity to earn money as long as they have a car, while also offering convenient ways for consumers to get around at lower costs. Although its “Surge Pricing” technique has been criticized for charging higher fares during popular times, it is also becoming a model for other companies such as Zappos in how it compensates its call center employees. The biggest issues Uber faces include legal action because drivers are not licensed, rider and driver safety,protection and security of customer and driver information, and a lack of adequate insurance coverage. To be successful, Uber must address these issues in its marketing strategy so it can reduce resistance as it expands into other cities.
2-2 Background
In 2009 Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp developed a smartphone application to connect
drivers-for-hire with people needing rides to a destination in their city. Earlier in the year the
founders had attended the inaugural address in Washington, D.C. and could not hail a taxi.
They recognized the need for a convenient, low-cost transportation service. This innovative
service was originally founded.

Re: Topic 2 DQ 1
Social determinants of health are factors affecting peoples’ health, functioning and well-being, such as environmental conditions, social, and economic variables. Socioeconomic environmental factors contributing to infectious disease occurrence include crowding, unsanitary, unavailability of uncontaminated foods and water. These conditions provide an environment required for continuous chain of infection; the process required for transmission of disease. There are 6 components in the chain, or a cycle, of infection: organisms, reservoir, portal of exit, transmission, portal of entry, and a suspectable host (Green, 2018). To stop spreading of a communicable disease, the process has to interrupted or the chain of infection has to be broken at any point. Nurses, working in communities can decrease of the infectious diseases spreading. Promoting vaccination to lowering susceptible hosts number; and educating on sign and symptoms for early self-isolation to protect one’s family members from getting sick, breaking the transmission link. Educating on thorough hand hygiene and reducing face touching may protect one from getting sick eliminate portal of entry link. Proper respiratory hygiene, such as using disposable tissues and covering the mouth when sneezing, may stop the transmission on the stage of the pathogen leaving the reservoir via portal of exit (CDC.gov).
Noncommunicable chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, have grown in endemic and epidemic proportions, are developing from a combination of determinants including environmental, physiological, and behavioral factors, additionally to genetic disposition (Green, 2018). Lack of knowledge and motivation, unavailability of healthcare services and financial resources contribute to developing of such diseases.q

MALEETA'S POST:
World War II film
Saving Private Ryan (1998), directed by one of my favorites,
Steven Spielberg, is what I the topic my topic of week five’s discussion. This film is like no other World War II film that I have seen because of the realistic combat. I found myself getting overwhelmed, covering my eyes, and getting sick to my stomach from time to time through the movie. From the very beginning of the film on Omaha Beach, the D-Day landing scene gave me a glimpse of how the stress of combat experience could have felt.
Movie-watchers do not think about how the color scheme plays a significant part and sets different tones. The muddy browns, dark greens, and greys are the predominant colors throughout the movie. This movie does not have many vibrant, happy colors, and for a good reason. For instance, in
Saving Private Ryan
, the Normandy landing scene opens slowly to a beach. The setting is solemn, and the continuous color scheme of bland greys is an excellent cinematography piece. I felt like it made the red blood colors and the explosion colors stand out even more. Also, almost every shot was dreary and had vintage-like colors that gave the feeling of war and hopelessness. There was a part in this scene when the soldiers were near water that contrasted the typically dreary colors with a calming blue hue. The change of color gave me some hope that it may be safer under the surface, and then those hopes were instantly shattered when shots were fired, and red clouds pierced through the calming blue colors punishing me for even thinking there was any hope approaching the soldiers. This is an excellent mise-en-scene because it represented my change of emotions.
Another color paly example is in the scene where “Duty” is talking and joking as the crew marches toward their mission. Throughout this scene, the conversation is more cheerful, but the lighting and colors of grey and green continue to give a gloomy narrative, so my mood does not change much.
Saving Private Ryan has the same dull, dreary colors and low-key lighting, which looks dark and intensifies the shadows as the other War films in Week Five’s content. The desaturation of color is often used in war films.
Saving Private Ryan’s narrative, editing, camera movement, and color scheme throughout the movie jumped out of the screen and attacked me as a viewer. Every part of its cinematography placed the watcher in the combat experience, and I loved it in a good but bad way.
COLIN'S POST:
The war film I watched for this week was
1917 (2019)
directed by Sam Mendes. This film takes place during World War I and follows two British soldiers throughout most of the movie. This film is unique because it is shot as a "one shot film" where the director uses lighting and different angles with very few cuts to give a continuous feeling throughout the entire film. It gives audiences a more connected feeling as it seems like the scenes never end.

What is Engineering?
Engineers concern themselves with:
“the art of the practical application of scientific and empirical knowledge to the design and production or accomplishment of various sorts of constructive projects, machines and materials of use or value to man.”
“Value is not necessarily measured by an economic yardstick; the ancient pyramids and not a few structures since are of slight economic worth, while their value in terms of faith and beauty has often been considerable.”

Socrates on Ethics
Ethics are the norms by which acceptable and unacceptable behavior are measured.
According to Socrates, one develops ethics through maturity, wisdom and love.
Introduced the concept of teaching ethics and acceptable standards of conduct in 400 B.C.
Believed virtue was found primarily in human relationships, love and friendship, not through material gains.

is difficult. An old saying in human resources management, “Hire for attitude, and train
for skill,” is particularly applicable today, when in the highly competitive medical practice
environment, patients have increasingly high expectations of their providers. Simply having
technical skills is not adequate to build and maintain a successful practice. Staff must be
able to engage patients in a positive and constructive way to earn their trust and satisfac-
tion. Although data seem to conflict on this point, many researchers believe engaged and
satisfied patients are more likely to comply with the instructions of their providers than are
disengaged, unsatisfied patients, leading to better outcomes (e.g., Kane, Maciejewski, and
Finch 1997). More recently, a study by Fenton, Jerant, and Bertaski (2012) found little
connection between satisfaction and clinical outcome; in fact, the researchers found that
mortality was higher, as were expenditures and utilization, among more satisfied groups.
Other authors have observed this tenuous connection as well (Kennedy, Tevis, and Kent
2014). The controversy has intensified as more physician payment is tied to patient satis-
faction. Some issues that complicate this concept are the lack of common definitions and
measures of satisfaction and the complexity inherent in defining.
2 Requirements Elicitation A Survey of Techniques, Ap.docxherminaprocter
2 Requirements Elicitation: A Survey of Techniques,
Approaches, and Tools
Didar Zowghi and Chad Coulin
Abstract: Requirements elicitation is the process of seeking, uncovering, acquir-
ing, and elaborating requirements for computer based systems. It is generally un-
derstood that requirements are elicited rather than just captured or collected. This
implies there are discovery, emergence, and development elements to the elicita-
tion process. Requirements elicitation is a complex process involving many ac-
tivities with a variety of available techniques, approaches, and tools for perform-
ing them. The relative strengths and weaknesses of these determine when each is
appropriate depending on the context and situation. The objectives of this chapter
are to present a comprehensive survey of important aspects of the techniques, ap-
proaches, and tools for requirements elicitation, and examine the current issues,
trends, and challenges faced by researchers and practitioners in this field.
Keywords: requirements, elicitation, techniques, approaches, tools, issues, chal-
lenges, trends, survey.
2.1 Introduction
The importance of requirements engineering (RE) within software systems deve l-
opment has long been established and recognized by researchers and practitioners
alike (Chapter 1). The elicitation of requirements represents an early but continu-
ous and critical stage in the development of software systems. The requirements
for a software system may be spread across many sources. These include the prob-
lem owners, the stakeholders, documentation, and other existing systems. Because
of the communication rich nature of requirements elicitation activities, many of
the effective techniques do not originate from the traditional areas of software en-
gineering or computer science research. Techniques for requirements elicitation
are derived mostly from the social sciences, organizational theory, group dynam-
ics, knowledge engineering, and very often from practical experience.
The process of requirements elicitation is generally accepted as one of the criti-
cal activities in the RE process. Getting the right requirements is considered as a
vital but difficult part of software development projects [36]. A recent field study
of fifteen RE teams carried out by Hofmann and Lehner [31] identified key RE
practices that should lead to project success. Effective elicitation of requirements
was arguably among the most important of the resulting recommended good RE
practices.
Requirements elicitation itself is a very complex process involving many activi-
ties, with multiple techniques available to perform these activities. The multi-
disciplinary nature of requirements elicitation only adds to this complexity. Elici-
tation is subject to a large degree of error, influenced by key factors ingrained in
communication problems. Despite the importance of requirements elicitation
within software development, insufficient.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Power Point (PP): Suffrage Movement
Introduction
· The quarter century before the outbreak of WWI came to be
known as the Belle Epoque (1880-1914)
· The period between 1880 and 1914 was an era of hopefulness.
· By 1900, Europe led the way in inventions and new ideas.
· Europe had healthy industrial and agricultural sectors which
experienced continued economic growth despite mounting
global competition.
· Population benefited from sufficient food and from rapidly
expanding industrial power. People began living longer and also
demanding a better standard of living.
Education
· The percentage of the population able to read and write rose
rapidly in Europe as states enacted educational reforms during
the last 2 decades of the 19th century.
· The British Parliament passed a law in 1880 requiring that all
children attend school up to age 10, and after 1988 children had
to attend until the age of 12.
· In 1910 the British Parliament also waved school fees and
truancy officers made their appearance in working class
neighborhoods when children skipped school. This sometimes
led to conflicts with parents who needed income from children’s
labor.
· In France, the Ferry Laws 1879-1881 made primary schools
free, obligatory and secular for all children from age 3 to 13.
2. · Similar laws were passed throughout Europe.
· Mass education in European countries increased the number of
people who could speak and read the dominant language – part
of nation building - and increased feelings of belonging to the
nation.
· Secondary schools also increased rapidly.
· The French government in the last decades of the 19th century
augmented educational opportunity for women by training
thousands of female teachers, women were allowed to teach
boys, but men were not allowed to teach girls.
· Schooling for boys and girls alike stressed patriotic, secular
and politically conservative themes.
· Textbooks counseled “patient resignation” to one’s economic
and social condition, with one popular French book in 1882
showing a picture of a woman desperately trying to persuade her
husband not to go on strike.
Age of Progress (Belle Epoque) – Technology
· Technological advances characterized the century’s last
decades in Europe.
· The underpinnings of this revolution was the triumph of mass
productions and new technologies.
· The sewing machine, invented by American Isaac Singer,
began to be used in homes in the 1850s.
· The mechanization of the production of ready-made clothing
rapidly extended consumer markets, setting styles and reducing
the price of clothing.
· The garment industry – attracting Jewish immigrants to Paris
and especially New York – remained largely tied to home work
as women and some men worked sewing machines in their
apartments and in cramped sweatshops, turning out ready-made
cloaks and dresses.
· Singer marketed his machine as a device that would liberate
women from tedious work, but the sewing machine also bound
many women to the hectic pace of piece work and to payments
for the machine itself.
3. · In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone,
which radically transformed communications. In 1883,
Germans made 8 million telephone calls, but by 1900 they made
700 million. People quickly began to get telephones in their
homes.
· In 1879, Thomas Edison, an American, invented the
incandescent lamp and soon after electricity began to have a
significant impact in daily life.
· It took a long time for ordinary people to get electricity, but
electricity made possible the invention of the telegraph,
undersea cable, and the telephone.
· In 1881, the first electric power stations began operation in
England. Street lamps and electric tramways also developed
rapidly in European cities.
· Electricity contributed to economic growth in industry. It
provided an inexpensive source of power for small workshops.
Travel and Communications
· By 1885, German engineers Karl Benz and Gotlieb Daimler
invented the internal combustion engine powered by gasoline,
which brought dramatic changes in travel.
· That same year, Karl Benz, constructed a small automobile.
· First automobiles were very expensive – the tires alone cost
more than an average workers annual wage.
· By the early 1900s, cars were becoming a more mass
phenomenon.
· Henry Ford who began his Detroit company in 1903 and
quickly produced more than 15 million Model T Fords, which
even his workers could afford.
· Worried by American competition, the French car
manufacturer Louis Renault also began assembly line
production.
· The automobile transformed travel.
· Gradually governments ordered the paving of roads, and gas
stations began to dot the landscape,
· In 1900, the Michelin company in France published its first
4. guide for travelers, listing garages, hotels and restaurants in
every town of size.
· Europeans traveled and went on vacation more often
especially as the middle class grew.
· In 1888, Kodak began producing a relatively light camera that
tourists could take with them on vacation.
· Mass transportation also improved – in 1863 the London tube
(subway) opened and in 1900 the first Paris subway began
operation.
Tourism
· By the end of the 19th century, holy days turned into holidays.
· More and more people had leisure and leisure activities grew
fueled by the improvements in transportation.
· Most people didn’t go very far but middle class families and
sometimes working class families could spend a few days on the
beach in the summer. City people travel to the countryside.
· Increased travel led to the development of resorts and resort
towns - some of which offered health cures – and summer
camps for kids.
Leisure
· There was more to do than ever before for those with time and
money.
· The French capital set the tone for style in Europe and around
the world.
· Paris was the European capital of pleasure.
· Dance halls, cafes and café concerts offered the performances
of musicians, singers, poets, comedians, jugglers and much
more
· Hundreds of thousands of Parisians went to the theatre at least
once a week.
· Europeans learned new dances like the tango and the turkey
trot, both imported from the Americas, which offended religious
leaders and were banned from some establishments.
5. · German Emperor William II forbade officers from dancing
these steps while in uniform.
· The Parisian hill of Montmartre served as a center of
entertainment.
· Amid the smoke and drink of the Chat Noir and the Lapin
Agile, poets read their poems and mingled with artists trying to
sell their work.
· During the 1880’s and 1890’s, Montmartre provided a unique
space for interaction for intellectuals and for avant-guard
artists.
· Rodolph Salis, proprietor of the Black Cat Café in
Montmartre, founded a newspaper, published the works of
young writers, and encouraged them to hang out in his café.
· Other cafés followed the Black Cat and Montmartre,
previously considered a dangerous and marginal place, became
the center of a new culture in which the well to do came to rub
shoulders with poets, artists, and anarchists.
·
Sports
· Participatory and spectator sports emerged as a prominent
feature of mass society during the last decades of the 19th
century, a phenomenon linked to modern transportation and to a
general increase in leisure time.
· The first car race was held in 1894 in France from Rouen to
Paris and back.
· Some cares were powered by electricity, others by gasoline or
even steam; only 15 competed the race.
· Cycling competitions also generated enormous public interest,
providing the first heroes of spectator sports.
· Competition between 2 cycling clubs led to the first Tour de
France race in 1903 in which riders covered almost 1500 miles
in 19 days.
· Not only did people watch bicycle races, they also began
riding bicycles themselves, both as a leisure activity and as a
source of transportation.
6. · The bicycle was simple but reflected technological innovation
and mass production.
· By the late 1880s, bicycles were lighter, more affordable and
more easily repaired or replaced.
· Both men and women rode but some men complained that the
clothes women wore while riding bicycles were unfeminine
· Commentators feared that women were beginning to look like
men in their velvet breeches.
· Female cycling seemed to fly in the face of the middle class
domestic ideal of the “angel of the house” staying home.
· Moralists worried that the jolts of the rough paths and roads
might interfere with childbearing.
· One doctor, quoted in a newspaper article that compared the
effects of the bicycle to the sewing machine, stated that it fated
women to “nymphomania and characterized hysteria.”
· Other doctors thought it might be good for women and make
them stronger.
· The president of a feminist cycling congress in 1896 toasted
the “egaligarian and leveling bicycle” that helped free women
from the corset “a new Bastille to be demolished.”
Team sports
· Team sports also quickly developed as a leisure activity
during the second half of the 19th century.
· The 2 most popular team sports in Europe, football (soccer)
and rugby both began in England.
· Rugby, which developed at Cambridge and Oxford University
in the 1860s, was an upper class sport, while football evolved
into a lower class sport.
· Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French noble who feared that the
youth of his country were becoming soft from lack of physical
activity, organized the first Olympic Games, held in Athens in
1896 in homage of their Greek predecessors.
· Coubertin sought the moral and physical revival of men of his
nation.
· Development of sports also reflected the mood of aggressive
7. nationalism.
The New Woman of the Belle Epoque (1880-1814)
· The Belle Epoque did not create a single definition of the
“new woman.” Instead, there were many images of women
doing new things.
· Dora Russell, an English activist and writer remembered that
“like young men,” she and her friends demonstrated their
physical endurance on long bicycle rides and hiking in the
mountains.
· Other women such as Cambridge don Jane Ellen Harrison and
reformer Beatrice Potter Webb, as well as liberated heroines in
novels smoked in defiance of old rules concerning feminine
behavior.
· Swedish feminist Ellen Key saw the” new woman” deriving
happiness from an unmarried state, living with a woman friend
and being an unmarried mother.
· In most respects, the new types of woman seemed to reject
Victorian concepts of home and domesticity or at least wanted
these concepts modified.
· The activities of the “new woman” stood out and produced an
outpouring of comment about women’s behavior.
· A good many “new women” had political opinions that were
socialist or feminist or in other ways radically different from
the ruling middle-class consensus.
· Some leading male writers portrayed the phenomenon of the
“new woman” in fictional works. In many cases, these works
portrayed women leaving husbands to find happiness elsewhere
or engaging in politics.
· Although fiction made the “new woman” a prominent
phenomenon it merely mirrored real women’s lives as
innovators and activists.
· Women increasingly worked outside the home, they pursued
higher education with the opening of universities at the end of
the 19th century, and they participated in debates over marriage
and reproduction.
8. · Feminism also became a mass movement, which increasingly
focused on suffrage.
· Winning this right, suffrage proponents believed, would end
women’s dependence on men.
Marriage Reform and Debate
· In the last three decades of the 19th century, Western
European governments enacted substantial reforms that made
the “new woman” possible.
· These resulted from intense lobbying activity and from the
first organized feminist efforts.
· In the 1870’s and 1880’s, English women won the right to
control their own property and wages.
· The right of English husbands to incarcerate their wives at
home or have them imprisoned ended during this period as well.
· Estranged wives were also given the right to petition for
financial support, for custody of their children in case of
separation, and for other benefits.
· The French government enacted a divorce law in 1884, and by
1910 allowed married women to have control over their
property and wages.
· In addition, French reform ended restrictions mandating that
wives live wherever her husband decreed.
· Germany had fairly liberal laws on divorce and remarriage.
· German women’s situation was complicated by the
continuation of local customs – German women had partial
voting rights in some German states and localities; property law
differed from one region to another, though generally husbands
had control.
· When a new code took effect in 1900 in Germany, many
trappings of patriarchy disappeared.
· Women gained a legal personality and no longer were
subjected to the principles such as obedience and paternal
power.
· Property generally remained under the husband’s control, but
wages could belong to the wife who earned them.
9. · However, German women were shocked by the tightening of
divorce laws in the new German code. The code also prohibited
women from attending political meetings.
· Despite only partial success, reforms in response to women’s
activism did prove encouraging for feminist organizations.
· It fostered further activism to overcome inequality.
Promise of Higher Education
· Before WWI, the system of higher education gradually opened
up to women in the face of a concerted onslaught by feminist
activists and education reformers.
· First in Switzerland then in France, medical schools and
universities began admitting women in the 1860s, and women
students flocked to them.
· In the early 1870s, thanks to the efforts of women like Emily
Davies, the first women’s colleges were established in Britain:
Girton and Newnham at Cambridge followed by Somerville
College and Lady Margaret Hall at Oxford.
· Although women at Oxford and Cambridge did not receive
degrees for more than half a century after this, the more
fortunate women who did receive diplomas from other schools
acquired the kind of institutional sanction that was becoming
more important in an increasingly bureaucratic world.
· Italian universities had never closed their classes to women
and women received degrees in the 18th and 19th centuries – a
few Italian women actually held university teaching posts.
· In contrast, a woman scientist’s first lecture at the University
of Athens was met with hysterical screams of “Back to the
Kitchen” by her male students.
· Students in Spain stoned the first women medical students in
1881.
· The situation in Germany was less violent but more repressive.
· Individual professors could instruct young women, but most
refused to do so.
· In addition, many German universities actually barred women
from attending lectures. Many German women activists devoted
10. most of their energy to education reform.
Medical Theories against Women
· Even as women gained access to higher education, the
academic and medial world developed theories designed to keep
women out or at least discourage them from higher education.
· In 1872, Dr. Theodor von Bischoff, a German doctor,
published The Study and Practice of Medicine by Women.
· Bischoff believed that women had smaller brains than men,
and those brains had evolved less satisfactorily. Therefore,
women were wholly unsuited to academic work, especially
medical study.
· In addition, he stated that women who studied would cause
irreparable damage to their reproductive organs.
· Bischoff was only one of a number of influential intellectual,
medical men and scientists who developed this line of argument.
· In 1889, in England, Patrick Geddes and J. Arthur Thomson
elaborated on this analysis. They argued that men had active
(katabolic) cells that produced energy. Women only had
anabolic cells that did not produce energy. The only active
cells women had were in their uterus so any energy used to
study would destroy their ability to have babies.
· Doctors, particularly those in obstetrics and gynecology
sounded the alarm across Europe.
· Like doctors, social commentators used the new language of
social analysis to brand what women were doing in the realm of
higher education as pernicious to the well-being of the public,
the family, and the individual woman.
· Not much separated these writers’ views from traditional
common wisdom about women.
· In his Principles of Sociology (1876), the prominent social
scientist Herbert Spencer described the harm done by educating
women to new kinds of thinking.
· Despite the protests from doctors and social scientists,
intelligent women gathered in universities and ended their
domestic isolation.
11. · In fact, at the turn of the century, European women generally
took advantage of changing laws and customs to cluster together
more frequently in all females surroundings, such as settlement
houses, women’s clubs, women’s colleges, nursing orders, and
boarding houses for factory and department store workers.
· Living away from direct male and familial authority, they
developed a community life that focused on women.
· Across Europe, higher education attracted women precisely
because it offered an escape from familial patterns into a
community of scholars, allowed for community building and
promised the further freedom of a career.
Women’s Politicization Continues
· Across Europe as the 19th century ended, more and more men
were given the right to vote.
· With the reform bill of 1884, more men could vote in England
than ever before, and the French Third Republic reestablished
universal male suffrage.
· Men in Germany and Italy could also vote.
· While excluded from voting, women found other ways to
participate in national politics.
· Women engaged in numerous social reform movements.
· However, many women wanted the same kind of citizenship
that men had.
· By the turn of the century, a women’s movement of significant
size had taken shape.
· The suffrage movement developed from a base of varied
public activities and a wide ranging array of issues.
· Settlement house workers, proponents of social purity,
temperance reformers, vegetarians, animal rights activists and
other types of activists considered themselves part of the
“woman movement” although not all women were feminists or
wanted the right to vote.
· The vitality of the suffrage movement sprang from women’s
prior experience with reform.
· In fact, for many activists the emphasis on suffrage would
12. combine with efforts at reform.
· Many women saw the vote as a new broom for doing some
social housekeeping in order to improve the conditions of
motherhood.
Organization of the Suffrage Movement
· The organization of the suffrage movement involved the
coordination and consolidation of the other women’s groups.
· In the 1890’s in England, more than 50 suffrage associations
joined to form the National Union of Women’s Suffrage
Societies.
· In France, all women’s groups united into a moderate feminist
council, the National Council of French Women – this was
rivaled by a slightly more radical French Union for Women’s
Suffrage.
· National societies began holding regular conferences for
women’s suffrage that brought hundreds of women together.
· Women forged the final organizational link in the suffrage
chain when they created the International Women’s Suffrage
Alliance in 1904.
Toward the Vote in England
· In England, women had failed to obtain the national franchise
in the electoral reforms of the late 1860s, but they had gained
the right to vote locally (1869) and to serve in local offices as
poor law guardians and on school boards.
· Despite these gains the quest for suffrage seemed to falter in
the 1870s and 1880s.
· British suffragists had to watch the franchise extended to men
in the 1880s.
· Late in the 1890s, British women founded the National Union
of Women’s Suffrage Societies with Millicent Garrett Fawcett
at its head.
Suffragettes and the WSPU
· In 1903, the Women’s Social and Political Union, a much
13. more radical group, formed.
· Founded by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Cristabel
and Sylvia the WSPU took a militant stand for the right to vote.
· Emmeline Pankhurst had gotten her first taste of feminist
politics at the side of her husband, Richard an activist in the
cause of women’s rights.
· Forced to support herself after his death in the 1890’s,
Emmeline opened a small store and began running for local
offices for which women were eligible, such as the Manchester
School Board.
· Her political activity accelerated with the founding of the
WSPU in 1903. The Pankhursts’ believed that other groups
were too timid. Emmeline argued that men understood only
violence so violence is what she and her organization would
give them.
· The WSPU engaged in attacks on property and spectacular
kinds of civil disobedience.
· The group first attracted attention in 1905 when Christabel
and her working class friend Annie Kenny broke up a political
rally by heckling the speakers concerning women’s suffrage.
· The two were physically mistreated, thrown from the lecture
hall, and arrested.
· Released from prison with great fanfare, they and other WSPU
leaders realized the importance of drama, publicity, and a
certain kind of martyrdom.
· From then on the members held spectacular mass parades,
chained themselves to the gates of Parliament whenever a
suffrage issue was to be voted on, and staged hunger strikes
whenever they were arrested.
· Their activities became increasingly violent and later included
acts of terrorism such as planting bombs, slashing works of art,
and smashing plate glass windows in urban businesses.
· The WSPU was often racked by internal dissension and
defections from the Pankhursts increasingly dictatorial control,
but it marked a new stage in the suffrage movement.
· The WSPU was a manifestation of the challenge to the entire
14. gender order of society.
· Other groups maintained decorum acceptable for women so
were not as much of a threat.
· Protesting women were physically attacked by men who
punched them and dragged them by the hair.

Anti-Feminism
· “The normal woman has many characteristics which she shares
with the savage and the child (irascibility, vengeance, jealousy,
vanity) as well as other characteristics … which prevent her
from approximating the conduct of men – that equilibrium
between rights and duties, egotism and altruism” wrote a French
criminal anthropologist at the end of the 19th century.
· By the early 20th century, anti-feminism became more violent,
sometimes carrying out attacks on women suffragettes.
· Corset makers organized against feminism as did male school
teachers partly because of economic motives.
· Many women also protested feminism and rejected suffrage as
appropriate for women.
Women in most European countries would not gain suffrage
until after the First World War.
Lecture: Origins of WWI
· In the Spring of 1914, US president Woodrow Wilson
expressed concern over the growing international crisis in
Europe and sent his aid, Colonel Edward House, to Europe. The
15. colonel toured several capitals, Berlin, Paris, and London and
on May 29, 1914 he reported:
“The situation is extraordinary. It is militarism run stark mad.
Unless some one… can bring about a different understanding,
there is one day to be an awful cataclysm”
· This prediction was far more accurate than the author could
have imagined – 9 weeks later, Europe was at war
Age of Progress
· As noted in the previous lectures, the period between 188O
and 1914 was an age of progress and hope.
· There had been spectacular advances in industry and
technology ranging from the bicycle and the typewriter to the
telephone and the internal combustion engine.
· Innovations in fertilizer transformed agriculture leading to
higher yields in crops and more food for European populations.
· The expansion of the middle class with white-collar jobs even
for women in the service sectors also transformed how many
people lived.
· Even the working class was making more money and the
passage of labor legislations provided them with greater
protection at work as well as insurance and mutual aid funds.
· People believed that the age of science, progress, and reason
would continue to create better, more civilized societies.
· However, underneath all the progress, serious problems were
developing in Europe. These problems would eventually
contribute to the First World War.
Causes of the Great War
· Complex System of Alliances
· Nationalism
· Imperialism
· Militarism
· Social Darwinism
16. Nationalism
· The late 19th century saw a rise in a strong and often violent
form of nationalism.
· Nationalism is an effort to define who is a member of a nation
based on a set of common characteristics such as language,
culture, values ethnicity, and sometimes race.
· By the late 19th and early 20th century nationalists throughout
Europe had become convinced that their national or ethnic
group was superior to everyone else or their civilization was
superior to civilization and culture of their neighbors or those
they came into contact with.
· Nationalists also argued that all people who belonged to the
same national group should be part of the same nation and
inferior people should be dominated.
· The French were convinced that the Germans were little better
than barbarians, the Germans thought the French were weak,
and the British were sure that they would be better off to have
as little contact with the continent as possible.
· More importantly, in terms of the coming war, small ethnic
groups within established nations began to demand
independence.
· For example, Serbs and other people of Slavic origins who
lived in the Austro-Hungarian Empire began demanding that the
areas in which they live be separated from Austria-Hungary and
be allowed to join Serbia.
· The absorption in 1878 of Bosnia Herzegovina into the empire
of Austria-Hungary added a large Serb as well as Muslim
population at a time when Serb nationalism was growing.
· The addition of hundreds of thousands more Serbs increased
demands from the Serbs, Croats, and some Slovenes that they be
allowed to form an integral part of the monarchy.
· Many Serbs wished to be attached to Serbia thus forming a
“Greater Serbia.”
· Nationalists throughout Europe also sought territorial
expansion through colonialism.
17. · Nationalism helped reinforce tensions in Europe in the early
twentieth century by reinforcing people’s belief that their
national group was superior to everyone else and had a right to
expand and dominate others.
Imperialism
· Imperial rivalries that developed between European nations,
especially after the 1870s, also helped increase tensions in
Europe and widen the diplomatic gap between competing
nations.
· Between the 1880’s and 1914, European powers expanded
their direct control over much of the world.
· France, Germany, Britain, and to a lesser extent, Russia and
Italy all began racing to gain as many colonies as possible – all
believed that colonies were key to national prosperity and
influence both in Europe and around the world.
· This race for colonies, especially in Africa and Asia created
conflicts among European nations who made competing claims
to the same territories and who also wanted to prevent their
rivals from gaining colonies that would increase their power and
influence.
· The British and the French fought over Egypt, especially over
control to the Suez Canal, which the British needed to get to
India which was by far it’s largest and most important colony.
· The French and the Germans fought over influence in North
Africa and the Congo.
· In 1898, the British and the French almost went to war over
Sudan.
· Between 19O5 and 1911, France and Germany almost went to
war over Morocco.
· Conflicts over colonies in Africa and Asia increased tensions
among nations in Europe.
Social Darwinism
· Nationalism driven in part by the development in the late 19th
century of Social Darwinism – the idea of survival of the fittest
18. applied to human society and also to struggles between nations
and racial and ethnic groups.
· Social Darwinists believed that nations had to struggle like
species to survive.
· Social Darwinist theory posited that …
