This document provides an overview of social media use in historic abolitionist movements and reflections on current social justice trends. It summarizes the role of Josiah Wedgwood's abolitionist pottery and medallions in spreading antislavery messages in 18th century England. In America, it discusses Thomas Clarkson and other abolitionists' use of petitions, newspapers like The Liberator, and Uncle Tom's Cabin to generate support for their cause and build opposition to slavery. The document concludes by examining modern social movements like Black Lives Matter and #MeToo that utilize social media platforms to organize, raise awareness, and enact disruption and change.
Jonathan Swift's 1729 essay "A Modest Proposal" satirically suggests that overpopulation and poverty in Ireland could be addressed by selling poor children as food. He argues that children aged one year old would provide a cheap and nutritious source of sustenance that would benefit both the parents and wider society. Though presented with an air of reason and moderation, Swift's outlandish proposal is meant to ridicule the uncaring attitudes of those responsible for Ireland's plight.
Swift's 1729 satirical essay "A Modest Proposal" critiqued the treatment of poor Irish Catholics by wealthy English landlords. It suggested selling and eating Irish children as a solution to overpopulation, poverty, and famine. Though intended as an absurd irony to provoke thought, some took it literally due to illiteracy. The essay highlighted the exploitation and oppression faced by the Irish under discriminatory English laws and absentee landlords that confiscated Catholic lands and imposed high rents. It aimed to encourage social change through ridicule of the indifference toward Irish suffering.
Jonathan Swift was an Irish writer and clergyman in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He was politically engaged and wrote A Modest Proposal in 1729 to satirize the political situation in Ireland under British rule. At the time, Catholic Irish people faced extreme poverty and oppression under the Penal Laws enacted by Britain. In just three sentences, the document provides biographical context on Swift and outlines the political situation in Ireland involving the subjugation of the Catholic Irish majority that informed Swift's writing of A Modest Proposal.
The Push Factors, Pull Factors, and Methods of Latter-day Saint Emigration in...Jay O. Porter
The document discusses the various push and pull factors that led to mass emigration of Latter-day Saint converts from 19th century England to America. It describes the poor economic conditions in industrialized England due to overpopulation and poor living standards that pushed emigrants to leave. Additionally, it outlines how the preaching of Latter-day Saint missionaries in England beginning in 1837 encouraged converts to emigrate, pulling them to gather with other church members first in Nauvoo, Illinois and later in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Victorian Era saw major social, economic, and technological changes in England. Industrialization moved many women into paid work and expanded the voting rights for males. Intellectually, Darwin's theory of evolution was influential and education was seen as a path out of poverty. However, living conditions were difficult, with long work days, child labor, unsafe housing, and lack of sanitation in cities. Women had limited roles and rights, though access to education was growing. Debates addressed women's place in society and politics.
This is a presentation I made about the victorian age , it mainly talks about the social life of the victorian era but has briefs about other points , hope you enjoy it .

Slavery was primarily located in the South by 1830, where African Americans were enslaved on farms and plantations, in cities, and within homes. Slaves were considered property because they were black, and endured inhuman conditions, abuse, and punishment. Abolitionists took a moral stand against slavery and believed it was a national sin, forming organizations to help resist slavery and aid escaped slaves. Their efforts grew and became more effective over 30 years, ultimately helping to cause the Civil War and abolition of slavery.
Slavery has existed throughout much of recorded human history. The transatlantic slave trade began in the 16th century, bringing millions of Africans to the Americas to work on plantations. While conditions were brutal and inhumane, enslaved people maintained strong family and community bonds, cultural traditions, and religion. The abolition movement and Civil War ultimately led to the end of slavery in the United States in 1865 with the 13th amendment, though discrimination continued.
The document discusses slavery in the United States between 1800-1850. It notes that slavery was already present in the 1700s but increased dramatically in the late 18th century. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 made cotton farming highly profitable and increased demand for slave labor. Over 1 million slaves were transported from older slave states to new states in the South to work on cotton plantations. This led to debates between abolitionists who opposed slavery and slave owners who argued slaves benefited from being cared for. The tensions ultimately led to the Civil War.
Crime rates in Victorian England rose significantly during the 1800s due to factors caused by the Industrial Revolution such as poverty and urbanization. Common minor crimes included drunkenness, vagrancy, prostitution, and petty theft while major crimes like burglary, murder, and rape often resulted in the death penalty. Over time, societal views of criminals shifted from seeing them as morally corrupt to viewing their criminal behavior as a product of their environment or mental illness. Punishments were harsh, including transportation to penal colonies and death by hanging for some petty crimes, while prisons and hard labor became more common alternatives to execution.
The Victorian era in England was a time of great contrasts, as the country experienced rapid industrialization and scientific advancement alongside widespread poverty. Queen Victoria ruled from 1837 to 1901 during the height of the British Empire. Notable developments included the growth of cities and factories during the Industrial Revolution, major scientific and medical discoveries, and the works of prominent English writers like Charles Dickens. However, social classes remained deeply divided, as the working classes and poor faced difficult living and working conditions. Women also experienced inequality and lacked many legal rights during this traditional period of English history.
The Victorian Age from 1830-1901 saw immense changes in England due to industrialization and the growth of cities. While industrialization created wealth for some, it also led to poor working conditions and poverty for many. Queen Victoria came to symbolize the moral values of the period such as domesticity, though there was also evidence of social problems. Literature reflected both the promise and challenges of this time of rapid transition and change in English society.
Victorian England from 1837 to 1901 saw rapid industrialization, population growth, and the formation of distinct social classes. The early Victorian period was marked by unemployment, poverty, and poor working conditions, while the mid-Victorian era saw more prosperity and stability. However, the late Victorian period experienced a degradation of values, economic depression, and mass emigration. Conditions for women improved through new laws and opportunities for work and education, but many still faced underemployment and poverty. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded cities with problems of disease, crime, and child labor. Novels sought to realistically portray this complex and changing society.
The Victorian period in England from 1830-1901 was characterized by:
- Queen Victoria's long rule from 1837-1901 and the Victorian values of earnestness, morality, and propriety.
- A time of peace, prosperity, and rapid industrialization as Britain became the world's leading imperial power.
- Significant social reforms addressing issues like child labor, slavery, and workers' rights in response to problems of the era.
- Cultural and literary achievements including the rise of the novel as a dominant form and works addressing social issues by authors like Dickens.
Slavery existed in the United States from 1619 until 1865, primarily in the Southern states. By 1860 there were nearly 4 million slaves out of a total US population of 12 million, most held by large plantation owners. Slaves endured cruel treatment and inhumane conditions, and an internal slave trade developed that forcibly relocated over 1 million slaves for economic reasons. Abolitionist movements led by figures like Douglass and Beecher Stowe grew in the Northern states, increasing sectional tensions, while the Dred Scott decision of 1857 upheld slavery. The system was finally abolished after the Union victory in the Civil War.
Queen Victoria ruled Britain from 1837 to 1901 during a period known as the Victorian Age. Her long reign saw both progress, including industrialization and expanding trade, as well as conflicts as Britain sought to defend its vast global empire. Victorian society was characterized by morality, social reform, and optimism fueled by economic and technological advances. However, toward the end of the era, unease and doubts emerged as the limits of progress became apparent. Literature of the period reflected both the positivity of the early Victorian era as well as growing pessimism later on.
The document discusses Victorian literature during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. It provides context on the growth of the British Empire, the Industrial Revolution, and changing social conditions including urbanization and the role of women. Major literary genres of this period are described, including the rise of the novel, poetry, and drama. Key authors like Charles Dickens, the Brontë sisters, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Oscar Wilde are mentioned in relation to their contributions to Victorian literature.
This document is a research report that compares the conditions of slavery in English colonies to Spanish colonies. It argues that conditions were worse for slaves in English colonies, as they had poorer living conditions, harsher work requirements, and more severe punishments. Slaves in English colonies lived in small huts and slept on straw, while slaves in Spanish colonies had somewhat better housing. English slaves also worked longer hours and faced physical punishment for failing to meet quotas, unlike Spanish slaves who had protected rights under law. Overall, the report concludes life was harder for slaves in the English American colonies than for slaves in the Spanish colonies.
The document provides information on how various factors contributed to the development of the national economy and American character between 1790-1860. It discusses westward expansion and the effects on the wilderness. It also outlines the growth of industry and manufacturing, driven by inventions and new technologies. Immigration increased rapidly in the mid-1800s. Transportation and communication networks expanded significantly through canals, roads, railroads and telegraph lines, facilitating economic growth and specialization across regions.
1) In the 19th century, Britain underwent significant political, economic, and social changes as it industrialized and expanded its global empire.
2) The monarchy adapted to increasing democracy, with Queen Victoria becoming popular as she shared details of her private life and family values with the public.
3) As industrialization grew, regional economic disparities emerged within Britain between industrialized areas and the peripheries of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, with the Irish population declining dramatically due to famine and emigration.
Queen Victoria's long reign from 1837 to 1901 defined the Victorian Age. During this time, Britain became the most powerful country in the world with a vast global empire. Industrialization and new technologies like railways transformed Britain and led to rapid population growth. However, this also resulted in immense wealth disparities as the poor faced overcrowded, diseased slums while the rich lived comfortably. Child labor was common, with young children working in dangerous conditions for low pay. Literature also flourished in this era, with novels often focusing on moral themes and social commentary through complex plots and settings like cities. Famous Victorian novelists included Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Charles Dickens, and George Eliot.
Between 1875 and 1914, conditions improved greatly for the poor in Britain. Two Education Acts were passed requiring all children to attend school. New "red brick" universities were established focused on science and technology. By the late 1800s, the working class had more free time and began traveling for leisure activities like holidays at the seaside. Cricket and football also grew enormously popular among the public. However, poverty remained a major problem in Britain even as reforms to improve factory conditions and child labor laws were passed in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The Victorian Period lasted from 1837 to 1901 under the reign of Queen Victoria. Some key events included Victoria becoming queen at age 18 in 1837 and marrying Prince Albert, with whom she had 9 children. Britain became the most powerful empire in the world during this time. Life for the rich and poor differed greatly, as the poor faced overcrowded cities with poor sanitation and child labor was common. Reforms to improve conditions gradually passed throughout Victoria's 64-year reign.

The Victorian era in the UK was the period of Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901. Society was strictly stratified, with an upper class that held political power and wealth, a prosperous middle class that owned businesses, and a working class that faced poor conditions and low wages. Women had less rights than men and were expected to obey male authority. Child labor was widespread due to families' financial needs. Victorian values promoted morality, duty, charity and respectability.

The outlook for continued library funding is changing at a rapid pace. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, public libraries are not only losing future funding but also being forced to get creative with their existing budget in order to support new patron needs. This new mode of operation encourages a dynamic response in service as the environment changes from week to week. Public libraries are turning to grants to supplement funding and enhance programming for an increasingly virtual world. Leveraging existing resources and relationships is a good way to build a foundation for grant seeking.

Librarians wear a lot of hats. Far from a quiet profession with an easily defined range of tasks, a librarian might be called upon to unclog a toilet, clean up a spill, and provide technical support all in the same day (or hour!) How can a librarian stay on top of all of the needed tasks and maintain sanity? This program will consist of a short review of current research on librarian time management and a panel discussion of current librarians discussing ways they manage time, with time for questions and answers.

In Spring 2020, an assessment project was developed to assess the impact of library instruction to five Speech 102 classes. The assessment was administered in two parts using the immediate and follow-up surveys provided in the project OUTCOME platform. The immediate survey was administered via a print survey directly after the in-person instruction sessions. Due to the pandemic, the follow-up survey was administered six weeks after the instruction sessions via an online survey. This session will discuss using project OUTCOME, the findings of the assessment, and what librarians can learn from assessment projects during a semester of upheaval.

During FY 2020, University of West Georgia’s Library was presented with actual and theoretical budget cut scenarios. As a result, we were asked to reduce our collections budget by approximately $400,000 for FY 2021 and to devise various strategies for potential budget reductions in the future.
Our collection management committee accomplished this through a multifaceted approach: analyzing relevant data points, seeking insight from subject area liaisons and departmental faculty, and evaluating relevance to current degree programs and course rotations.
Our framework provides an example of how to undertake a collection management project during times of fiscal uncertainty.
This document discusses opportunities and challenges in mitigating bias in library catalogs. It explores how catalogers' lived experiences influence their work and the importance of bringing those experiences into cataloging. The document addresses balancing inclusion with privacy for creators and changing subject headings. Resources on ethics in name authority control and queering library classification systems are provided to engage users in improving catalogs.
The document provides an overview of the Library of Congress Classification Shelflisting Manual (LCCSM) and how to assign call numbers. It discusses the basics of the LCCSM and how it supplements the LC Classification Schedules. It then focuses on Cutter numbers, explaining that they are derived from author names using the Cutter Table, and how geographic cutters and translation codes are assigned based on tables in the LCCSM. Call numbers are broken down to show the classification, Cutter number, and translation code components.

A brief discussion on ways librarians can use design thinking strategies to support older adult library users. With more university libraries serving the public, academic librarians must be prepared to serve non-traditional students and multigenerational patrons. In particular, older adult library patrons often surface with unique research quests ranging from leisurely bylines, life-long learning to ancestral pursuits and more. Assessing their distinct needs yields opportunities to serve this population of users through relationship building, knowledge-based content, and access privileges.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
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.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

2. STATEMENT ABOUT IMAGES USED----
The following presentation contains images that are in many
instances graphic and visually disturbing. Some of it will be
emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. I will
flag especially graphic or intense content that discusses or
represents racism and will do my best to make this room a space
where we can engage bravely, empathetically and thoughtfully
with difficult content. The use of these images makes an
impactful contribution to understanding the nature of historic
abolition and current social movements. These images should
be considered as primary source materials that should be viewed
carefully in the context of this presentation.
