The Immigration Experience
... came descriptions of unsanitary bathrooms. This, surely, must have been torture, but, hopefully, most immigrants found the dreadful trip to be worth the freedom at the other end. Ellis Island, also, was far from sanitary. The people would break down into lines, and walk by a doctor, trying to hide any physical problems. Children over two had to be able to walk by themselves. If the doctor noticed anything wrong he would use a piece of chalk to show the person required further inspection. If, this was indeed the case, the person would be set aside in a cage. Another test was that of sanity. An interpreter would ask ...

Star Wars Vs. Star Trek
... Trek is a fascist world run by the Federation, no money is needed by the crew, everything is provided. It is a dull, government run police state. The ultimate humanist new world order, paradise created after nuclear war had destroyed much of our world around 2000. The world of Star Trek is the Phoenix myth, out of the ashes of nuclear war comes the elite socialist paradise of the Federation… Captain Kirk and the Star Ship Enterprise, along with all the spinoffs, Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyageur and new film adventures have kept these ideas going. Gene Rodenberry was the official historian to the Los ...

Andy Warhol 2
... of these would be Nancy, Dick Tracy, Superman, and Popeye. He later became much more interested in reproducing labels of products and some people. This became a standard procedure for Warhol during this period. He later began to make movies and photography. (Coplans pg 47-48)
At the beginning of his work, he started out with the making comic strip “reproductions.” They really shouldn’t be considered reproductions because they aren’t always an extremely accurate portrayal of the product. Some of his pieces such as the thirty-two painting collection of Campbell’s Soup Cans, are almost identical to the ...

The Midnight Ride Of Paul Revere
... steeple, signaling the imminent approach by sea of the British forces, he began his ride from Charlestown to Lexington to Concord, warning the citizens of these towns of an approaching British invasion. So began the famed "midnight ride of Paul Revere," a ride which warned the colonists of a forthcoming revolution that would shape the future of America.
During the early development stages of our country, there came a time when the overpowering mother country of Britain imposed a new system of taxation to control the colonies and the colonists. The Sugar Act of 1764 was the first step in bringing the new taxation sys ...

That The Beatles Acclerated The Change In Society.
... theologians, philosophers and other pop groups. The Beatles tastes, whims, attitudes and expressions of music were quickly converted into new and fresh hairstyles, trends, clothing, behaviour, social beliefs and rock music itself. Everything you could imagine became some how related to the Beatles, Beatle boots, Beatle haircuts and Beatle slang (gear, fab) just to name a few. If the Beatles wore a particular coat or shirt, grew a moustache, openly adopted the use of drugs or questioned religion, the whole of the rock world would do the same. If they took a guru or abandoned one, gave peace a chance or even d ...

The Watergate Affair
... Investigative Unit called the
plumbers. This unit was initially established under John Erlichmann a top White
House aide, to “plug” leaks from the White House to the press and consisted of
former FBI and CIA operatives. It comes to fact that these plumbers were
involved in illegal break-ins and wiretapping before the Watergate scandal. On
June 17, 1972, the night watchman at the Watergate complex discovered adhesive
tape on the basement doors of the complex. Five men were arrested that night
and began a series of inquiries and investigations into the possible corruption

The movie came down to liberty and violence verses law, order and freedom of speech, in which the latter prevailed, the latter being Ransom Stoddard. The sad thing was that with Liberty’s death died those living under the law that he lived, too. A prime example of this was Tom Doniphon. He was well respected mainly for his powerful presence and his ability not to be manipulated by anyone including . However, when Senator Stoddard came back f ...

The Salem Witch Trials
... were oftentimes more anti-
devil than pro-Christ.
In addition, merrymaking and playing were considered very non-
religious activities to these people. Their entire lives were devoted to
working, and the children were usually very bored. If a little girl was
caught playing with a doll, she was to be sent to the minister for a long
talking-to, since even dolls were considered to play a part in witchery.
Many people believed that witchcraft was the use of magic powers,
generally to harm people or to damage their property. A witch they thought
was a person who believed to have received such powers from evil spir ...

The Defining Of A Nation
... land of freedom and opportunity so
that they might have a better life that the one they left behind. The
struggle for immigrants yesterday and today was and will never be an easy
one. It is, instead, a long and difficult challenge that a great many will
fail at. The fact that many early immigrants braved an unknown wilderness
so they would have the opportunity to make a better life for themselves and
their ancestors gives the American people their character, thus giving a
definitive character to the actual country. This bravery of early
Americans has allowed them to triumph over tremendous odds. The courage of
