Decline And Fall Roman Empire
855 wordsEdward Gibbon says the decay of Rome was inevitable. He writes that instead of inquiring why the Roman Empire was destroyed, it is surprising that it subsisted so long. Gibbons' argument comes down to four major arguments, divided into ruler ship, the abuse of Christianity, the expansion of the Barbarians, and finally the loss of the Roman military power. Edward Gibbon was one of the greatest English historians of the late 1700 's. His father entered him in Magdalen College, University of Oxford...

Laissez Faire Progressive Era
893 wordsAssuming that the burden of proof is ultimately on the writer, I contend that the period from approximately 1900 until the United States' intervention in the war, labeled the "progressive" era by virtually all historians, was really an era of conservatism. Moreover, the triumph of conservatism that I will describe in detail throughout this book was the result not of any impersonal, mechanistic necessity but of the conscious needs and decisions of specific men and institutions. There were any num...

In such an approach, history might well prove to be more interesting; it certainly is more instructive.

Standards Of Living Due To The Fact
2,010 wordsThe Black Plague (also known as the Black Death or Bubonic Plague) of the 1300 s is considered by many historians to be one of the most influential events and turning point in the transition from medieval to modern-day Europe. Some analysts even compare its devastation to that of World War I, since " 25 % to 50 % of Europe's population were killed during the onslaught" of the plague (Gottfried, 77). While "no one rich, middling, or poor, was safe from the plague" (Platt, 97), those affected the ...

Point Of View Radio And Television
1,560 wordsFrom an almost common-sense point of view it is obvious that the phenomenon of television in American culture is multi-dimensional. Therefore, it cannot be fully understood by focusing on the act of viewing or audience activity in general, since this would preclude a consideration of the relation of individualized experiences to larger social norms and structures. Similarly, an exclusive focus on the history and structure of the institutions relevant for broadcasting -- such as the major network...

The Fall Of Western Roman Empire
1,878 wordsThe fall of the Roman Empire is generally perceived to have culminated through one single, though profound, event: the sack of the great city of Rome. The event itself, where the glory of Rome and all it represented came crashing down, is often perceived to be the marking stone for the end of Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages. However, the actual fall of the empire consists of more than just the invasion of Rome by the Goths, and the causes of this collapse, and what it represented,...

Oedipus acted out his metaphorical blindness - his blindness to what the oracle had meant, based on his lack of knowledge of himself - by depriving himself of his eyesight.

We encounter in Teiresias the idea that having ones sight turned away...

Laws And Rules Rules And Laws Explanation
618 wordsThe discussion of the philosophical question of historical explanation is in reality a disagreement concerning the nature of the philosophic method. There are primarily two sides taken in this argument, those who agree with Carl Hempel and those that do not. According to Hempel a historical event is only sufficiently explained when it logically fits a set of confirmed pre-existing conditions along with some universal laws. Certainly all things cannot easily be assigned to rules and laws. Politic...

Colonial America Colonial Period
549 wordsNot much is known about idiocy in colonial America. A state equivalent to psychological retardation, idiocy has been abandoned in studies of the American colonies partially because of the scarcity of documentation and partly because of the unconcern of scholars. Those studies, which do touch on idiocy, leave disjointed, unfinished, and, sometimes, inexact impressions of the ways colonists thought about and reacted to the condition. In 1983 Richard Scheerenberger, in his account of cerebral retar...
