Lecture 3 new imperialism 2013
The document discusses the causes and expansion of European imperialism from 1870-1914, known as the New Imperialism period. The key causes were economic needs for raw materials and new markets, political competition between European powers to gain status and prestige through colonial empires, and the influence of social ideologies like Social Darwinism. During this time, there was an unprecedented rush by European nations to colonize Africa and Asia, with around 90% of Africa being conquered by European powers in just 20 years. Britain and France competed heavily for control in Africa and Asia, while Germany and other latecomers also sought to build colonial empires.
Long term causes sessions 4 and 5 (2) (1)
The document summarizes several long-term causes of World War 1, including the alliance system between European powers which polarized them, the naval and arms races which increased tensions, and crises in Morocco and the Balkans over the preceding decades which exacerbated existing rivalries. The network of alliances tied countries together militarily, yet also heightened the risk that a conflict between two countries could engulf all major powers in Europe. Repeated crises failed to resolve tensions and instead reinforced the resolve of countries like Germany, Russia, and Serbia to confront opposing powers or allies.
Representation Theorists
- Katie Spencer and David Gauntlett are academics who have contributed influential work in representation theory and media studies. Gauntlett developed the "make and connect agenda" which argues for harnessing creativity to tackle problems.

- Judith Butler is an American philosopher who has made important contributions to feminism, queer theory, and ethics through examining how gender is constructed and regulated through performative acts.

M E D I A Semiotics Posters
The document discusses key concepts in media studies such as semiotics, signifiers, denotation, and connotation. It explains that semiotics involves deconstructing visual images to understand their meanings. Signifiers are objects used to represent ideas, while symbols represent broader concepts. The document instructs analyzing horror movie posters by understanding the surface or denotative meaning as well as the deeper connotative suggestions of the images.
Semiotics theory of visual communication
There are three types of signs that help us understand pictures: symbolic signs which have no obvious connection to what they represent (e.g. the word "CAT"); iconic signs which visually resemble what they depict (e.g. computer icons); and indexical signs which have a direct connection to what they indicate (e.g. a tear meaning sorrow). Pictures also use visual codes like dress codes and color codes to convey meaning. Kanji characters in Japanese are an example of entirely iconic symbols as each resembles the word it represents. Understanding these signs, symbols and codes helps us accurately interpret visual information.

Presentation - The Russian Revolution in Detail
- After the 1905 revolution, Tsar Nicholas II offered some political concessions to appease the growing revolutionary sentiment, but these were seen as insufficient and reactive rather than voluntary. If further pressure could force more concessions, some concluded that more may bring down the entire government.
- In the aftermath, the Soviet had achieved little in terms of results. Lenin and Trotsky went back into exile believing the revolution in Russia would not occur. There was some repression with executions, which increased dramatically in subsequent years.
Lecture 2 bismarck
Bismarck successfully unified Germany in 1871 and then pursued a policy of maintaining peace in Europe through a complex web of alliances including the League of Three Emperors and the Dual Alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary. His diplomacy was aimed at isolating France and preventing the formation of any alliance against Germany. By 1890, Bismarck had maintained peace in Europe for nearly two decades through skillful statesmanship, but increasing tensions and his resignation weakened Germany's position as other powers sought to alter the balance of power.
Introduction to post modernism
Postmodernism is difficult to define but can be understood through three approaches: historical, stylistic, and theoretical. Historically, it emerged as a reaction against modernism and its ideals of progress, reason, and objective truth. Theoretically, thinkers like Lyotard, Baudrillard, and Jameson analyzed postmodernism's rejection of "grand narratives" and emphasis on surface and pastiche over depth. Stylistically, postmodern texts play with conventions, embrace uncertainty, and reference other works through parody and pastiche.

A Christmas Carol Writing Guide
Dickens uses description of three characters - Scrooge, Fezziwig, and the Ghost of Christmas Present - to show different Victorian attitudes towards the poor. Scrooge embodies the selfish rich and ignores the poor, while Fezziwig generously cares for his employees' well-being. The Ghost teaches Scrooge compassion and the importance of addressing social ills like ignorance and poverty. Through these characters, Dickens conveys his view that the Christmas spirit of goodwill and charity should last throughout the year.
Workhouses Are Not Nice
The 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act divided England and Wales into Poor Law Unions, each run by a locally elected Board of Guardians and funded by local poor rates. People entered workhouses because they were too poor, old, ill, or pregnant to support themselves. Life in the workhouse was harsh - inmates were separated by age and sex, uniforms were basic, punishments were used, and the daily routine focused on work and a meager diet. Many became long-term residents, and those who died received a basic burial paid for by the workhouse if family did not claim the body.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them.
