.... known as Tradition, which is simply the sense that the present is continuous with the past, that the present in some way repeats the forms, behavior, and events of the past. I would propose that traditional ways of life have been replaced with uncontrollable change and unmanageable alternatives, but that these changes and alternatives eventually create something that may result in the society that traditionalists actually seek after; the balance between Nature and Technology. Modernity itself is merely the sense that the present is a transitional point, not focused on a clear goal in the future but simply changing through forces outside our control. I .....

.... Both found a hostile country in the management of the railroad companies and the U.S. government that rejected them from the work place and drove them to accept the poor conditions presented by the railroad positions. The two groups couldn’t have been more different, yet they came together to create a revolutionary railway and opened a new era in the United States. Their great influence may have made the completion of the transcontinental railroad possible. The Chinese and Irish were drawn to the land of opportunity in order to become successful. They came from different ends of the world to end up at a common destination: California. The Chinese were dreamer .....

.... and powerfull sitting on the throne. The Colonists honor King George III. The colonists used all types of English things. In New York people read British books, in Virginia children went to British schools. In Boston the people used British wedgewood to drink their tea. The first act leading to any sorts of disorder and bad feelings against the British Parliament was the Stamp Act. In the spring of 1765 the parliament decides to tax American colonists because the defense of the colonies is so expensive. They start taxing documents and all kinds of goods. A lot of colonists believe that this was for their own good and defense but most of the colonist th .....

.... Says Sirhan ". . . it's better to have one person die than to have the whole family die from shame." The beliefs and attitudes of Sirhan are not uncommon in Jordan; unfortunately nor are they among men in North America. Women constantly have to deal with disrespect and abuse from men. Men view women as inferior, and this stifles the growth of women as a whole throughout the world. In North America, treatment and expectations of women have improved, but they are not yet at the point that women are deemed equal to men in all aspects of society. Although North American society has come a long way when compared to that of Jordan in terms of treatment and expec .....

.... soil conservation and for the rehabilitation of the dust bowl. Eventually, thanks to government aid, farming became possible again in the Dust Bowl; consequently, farmers have learnt many valuable lessons from this dilemma. The European settlers who first arrived at the Great Plains found hardy grasslands that held the fine-grained soil in place in spite of the long recurrent droughts and occasional torrential rains. A large number of the travelers settled down in this area and built farms and ranches. These land uses led to soil exposure and great erosion. The cattle ranches were very profitable for the settlers; unfortunately, this led to overgrazing a .....

.... was transformed from a medieval society into an pre- modern system. Tokugawa was identifiable specifically by a highly organized administrative system, and also by economic development. This development was based on agricultural production, which reached levels that Japan had never experienced before. This is also the period in which Japan’s distinct culture reached its apex. The number of historical records, right down to the local level, make Tokugawa perfect for studying (Lehmann 124). Not only is it of interest for its own sake, it is also important to study the period for better insight into the countries modernization. Before the country modernize .....

.... for over 1.5 billion movie attendance's each year in the United States. Strategic Issues: 1) "Blockbuster-ability", or the ability to consistently produce a wide variety of popular films at a profit; 2) Expanding distribution channels into the ancillary markets where profit margins are higher; and 3) The value and depth of film libraries, which extend a film's life cycle and gererate revenues far into the future. Key Problems Cost- Film profits are rare and difficult to measure. There are high promotional and marketing costs which include fees paid to exhibitors, distributions fees, overheads, interset and expenses ( paid usually to studios d .....

.... First Amendment clearly voices a great American respect toward the freedom of religion. It also prevents the government from "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Since the early history of our country, the protection of basic freedoms has been of the utmost importance to Americans. In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his. He reflects the American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's .....
