... informs the tensions behind Chaucer's portrait of the Physician. During the late Middle Ages, doctors were believed to be a repository of medical knowledge, thus their profession was seen as learned. The surgeon, on the other hand, was considered to be an artisan, thus his profession was seen as a craft.4 This craft ideology allowed access for untrained artisans to enter the field of surgery. In this paper, I will statistically demonstrate that the medieval English surgeon was threatened by the growing number of untrained practitioners between the years 1350 and 1450. In response to this threat, medieval surgeo ...

... overclapped and sometimes diverged. Many reformers insisted that restoring democracy required stricter regulation of business, from local transit companies to the almighty trusts. Other reformers, emphasizing the humanitarian theme, called for laws to protect workers and the urban poor. Other progressives concentrated on schemes for reforming the structure of government, especially at the municipal level. Some reformers, viewing immigration, urban immortality, and incipient social disorder as the central problems, fought for immigration restriction, the abolition of prostitution and saloons, and other so ...

The control group was sat in front of a television where they watched Sesame street and Mr. Rogers ; the second group of second graders were sat in front of a television where they watched the Power Rangers and G.I.

The control group seemed to get along well with each other and played more with the toys. Where as the group of fourth graders who had watched the Power Rangers and ...

... a substantial portion of its customer base. The old adage ‘time is money’ has never been more true. Remember the same holds true for a consumer; "if you waste my time, I will not waste my money." For the past couple of months I have been coping with an algae problem, in my home aquarium, known as greenwater. This is caused by too much light and too much organic matter on which the algae feed. It is not a threat to the fish but turns the water to a cloudy greenish haze in its first stages. Eventually it leads to a near total ‘green out’ of the aquarium obscuring even the fish. Although I had an idea as to how ...

... woman’s life, how dependence on yourself is more important than relying on others, and how marriage sometimes characterizes one’s status. What you are taught often defines who you are as an individual. Women during the 18th-century were customarily viewed as objects. They were given only the skills essential to making them more pleasing to others instead of the skills necessary to contend with the other sex. In An Academy for Women by Daniel Defoe, he suggests the draft of a school which would give ladies every opportunity to achieve a higher standard of life. He concludes that by studying history, learning h ...

... way her breasts swell in a dress, the outline of her torso through gossamer fabric-can become a powerful sexual stimulus for a man. Certainly, the visual sense always has and probably always will play a major role in men's sexual responsiveness" (Brooks 439). Where women are touched more by emotions because that's their nature obviously doesn't offend men, so why should we as men apologize for following our natural animal drives? The female body is without a doubt a marvel to behold. The curves, the build, and the fact that there is just so much variety is unreal. I believe that anyone who says that t ...

... of that time. For some, they dress differently just to get attention. But for others, like Rachel, it's a way of expressing themselves. Despite the reasons for dressing the way they do, Goths still do not deserve to be judged. It's not right to do that to anyone. As a very young teen, Rachel always liked looking at and up to the "freaks" or "Goths." It was then she decided that was what she wanted to be. When she was thirteen she began to dress in "black" and it made her realize that she was expressing herself more than she ever had before. Rachel also likes dressing this way because it "gives [her] a certain t ...

... The chip would then compare the rating codes to values preset by the viewer. If the rating codes are higher than the preset values, the television signal would be blocked, and a blank screen would be displayed. The ACLU's responce to the v-chip is as follows."Although its supporters claim the v-chip gives parents control over their children's viewing habits, in fact it will function as a governmental usurpation of parental control. Under the legislation, it is the government (either directly or by coercing private industry),and not the parents, that will determine how programs will b ...
