An Era of Liberalism or an era of false liberalism, which is the most accurate description of Tsar King Alexander II's time in power?
An Era of Liberalism or an era of false liberalism, which is the most accurate description of Tsar King Alexander II's time in power? To a certain extent, Tsar King Alexander II was a false liberator, however from closer examination, it is not clear cut and there are strong arguments to suggest the contrary. The reasons for the view that Alexander was a false liberator are that firstly, the Crimean war saw Britain, France and Turkey dealt an unexpected and resounding defeat to Russia, who until then was regarded as a superpower. This therefore made change and reform inevitable? Secondly, his reforms were limited in scope and therefore did not reform all that was needed to be. Thirdly, and most importantly for the side for false liberation is the fact that Alexander was simply trying to pacify his people. The main points for Alexander being a liberator are that he made his reforms for genuine reasons; he wanted to bring Russia inline with the rest of Western Europe. Secondly His reforms were far reaching and he did reform as much as he could under difficult circumstances. Finally his reforms could be described as reactionary. During the course of my essay I plan to weigh up the arguments, both for liberalism and false liberalism and finally come to my own decision, explaining why I believe he did what he did. Alexander II was 'isolated from his people, unpopular with the
Progressive era study notes
Progressive Era Theodore's square deal - McKinley was inaugurated as president for a second term, but he was shot twice by 28-year-old Leon Czolgosz, while speaking at Pan-American Exposition. - Due to the assassination of McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt became the 26th US president. The Coal Strike Hard coal mines were irresponsible of the safety of their workers. In 1901, 441 men were killed in mining accidents in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Workers did not receive raises in wages; they were paid by weight of coal they dug, but companies were not weighing honestly. Coal miners went on strike in May 1902 led by John Mitchell. Roosevelt invited John Mitchell to the White House along with other miners. When mine operators refused, Teddy Roosevelt threatened them to send in the army into the mines. Then on October 13th owners gave in finally and strike ended with workers receiving most of their demands The Northern Securities Case (1904) The Northern Securities Company was a corporation set up to hold a controlling part of the stock of other companies. It was formed by railroad builders James J. Hill, the Rockefellers, J.P Morgan, and E.H Harriman, to control the four big railroad of the Northwest. Citizens were now forced to pay fares of railroads. He used the issue skilfully to revive the Sherman Antitrust Act and to show the power of the federal
Was 1750-1900 an era of progress?
During the times 1750-1900, Britain started to use more modern machinery in production methods, this meant that Britain was becoming industrialised. So we call this the industrial revolution, but how much progress was achieved? And what does progress mean? Progress means to move forward or onward, to develop or make something better and to achieve perfection. So how much progress was really made during the 1750 to 1900's. First, the changes in the farming had a large amount of progress in 1750 large amounts of land was farmed by hand therefore a lot workers were needed and it took a lot of time. But during the industrial revolution many different types of new machinery were used and this helped make the workers jobs quicker and more efficient. But as there were new machines this meant that there were fewer jobs for the workers as the machines could do a better job and also meant that the farmer had fewer wage to pay. The second example of change that happened in the farming industry was the way they farmed. During the industrial revolution many people was lived or worked in the country side used the open -field system, however this had many disadvantages including: spread of disease, Another example of the changes in agriculture was the systems of farming. In 1750 when most people lived in the countryside, there was a system of farming called the Open-field system of
The World Since 1945 - The End of the Stalin Era.
The World Since 1945 - T.E.Vadney The End of the Stalin Era Some members of the Societ politburo wanted a change. The death of stalin on 5 March 1953 gave them their chance. For some time several of their number had argued in favour of a "new course" - in other words, concessions to raise the standard of living and to win the minds and herats of people through the Communist Bloc. Yet even after 1953 Soviet policy vacillated between reform and retrenchment. The failure to define a coherent programme of action in the face of impending rebellion was the result of a leadership crisis inside the USSR itself, as a struggle for power developed among Stalin's heirs. The problem, though, went much deeper than simply the question of leadership. More to the point, none of the reforms which even the moderates were prepared to concede went so far as to alter the undemocratic character of the East european order, and so the legitimacy of communist rule was still in question. The governments of the region were to remain under the control of a communist ruling elite whose authority was based on its monopoly of state power and whose interest were not always compatible with those of the people at large. Shortly after Stalin's death a system of collective leadership was announced in Moscow: Malenkov - regarded as the heir apparent. Only fifty-one, he immediately took Stalin's place,
The 21st Century is an era of greed. Do you agree?
The 21st Century is an era of greed. Do you agree? Mention the word "greed" or any of its synonyms, and one is likely to receive many a disdainful stares. It is listed as one of the seven deadly sins in the Catholic doctrines and yet, virtually every single person that inhabits this planet is guilty of it. Greed drives desire, desire turns to envy, and envy leads to the failure of appreciating and holding dear what one possesses. In the commercialised era of the 21st Century, the aforementioned statement seems so much more accurate and true. One of the reasons we continue to innovate is our voracity for all things faster, stronger and longer. The insatiable hunger for success and the unquenchable thirst for supremacy transform many of us into slaves of our desires, fuelled by greed and its associates. It is perhaps simpler to fathom how this seemingly indestructible catalyst is such a pervasive element in our life if we adopt the traditional view of equating greed with happiness. In more ways than one, almost every single action which the conscious mind executes can be attributed to one's greed. Living in today's globalised world feels challenging, even confusing at times, with distance no longer a reliable indicator of our involvements in the world. Some of our closest business ties may be stretched out over thousands of miles, and remain connected courtesy of a vast

Lochner In 1937, the Supreme Court of the United States handed down the landmark decision of West Coast Hotel v. Parrish. This case held that a Washington state minimum-wage law was constitutional. West Coast Hotel is notable because it effectively ended the Court's Lochner era of jurisprudence. The Lochner era began with its namesake, the Supreme Court case of Lochner v. New York, which established that a New York maximum hours law violated liberty of contract, an implied right under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. The Lochner decision espoused a laissez-faire economic model, which favored little or no government regulation of the economy and workplace. The Lochner era lasted from 1905 until 1937. While the Court eventually did begin to uphold labor laws if they demonstrated a legitimate health interest (generally in the case of women), most government regulation was struck down. This was especially problematic to the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which sought to enact vast economic reform and regulation with New Deal legislation. The shift from the Lochner era seemed to be quite rapid. The conservative bloc of the Court, nicknamed the "Four Horsemen", was often joined by a moderate, Justice Owen Roberts, in order to strike down New Deal legislation. However, just after Roosevelt proposed his infamous "court-packing
The Post-modernist Era in Dance- review of 5 pieces.
Danielle Garcia Silva Solveig Santillano Modern II 27 April 2014 Post-modernism Era in Dance Having read and experienced various modern techniques during this semester, I believe that I acquired a grand knowledge of modern concepts. The past few weeks were even more important to my improvement because I had a chance to execute long modern dance combinations with different dynamics and emotions. It led me to feel the music and put effort into it. Especially the classes I had last week, I felt the power of dancing with the heart. It was the same great feeling as performing on stage, and I think that it is the way it should be every class in order to improve both technically and artistically. Throughout classes like that I believe that the four years in college will be worth it, and I will have much more confidence and ability to face the audition process. Through the readings, I have been learning the dance development and changes throughout the years. In the post-modernism, the modern dancers and choreographers continued to experiment new feelings and movements. For example, Robert Wilson’s Einstein on the beach, which had the costumes based on photography of Albert Einstein and music by Phillip Glass, has no story behind the scene. It was first performed in 1976 in the Avignon Festival. Through the video I watched, I thought it was really interesting because it mixed

Describe the key features of the Stresemann era from 1923 to 1929
During the Stresemann era, 1923-1929, Gustav Stresemann put past new measures which aimed to bring Germany out of its current economic situation, and bring the Weimar Republic back into a recovery. One of the first things that Stresemann did, and perhaps the most important, was abolishing the old currency and creating a new one, the Rentenmark. The previous currency had suffered from rampant inflation, to the extent that many countries were refusing to trade with Germany as they knew that within minutes the money they had received could have had dramatically changed in value (for the worse). This new currency was supposed to combat this problem, and make sure that money could be something that people had faith in. In 1924, as a partial result of this, Stresemann created a new independent national band, the Reichsbank, which had control of the new currency and aimed to make sure that this sort of problems wouldn't happen again. However, the issue of reparations being paid was still a large problem for Germany as currently the payments were really at a level that Germany could not cope with. Under the Dawes Plan, devised mainly by Charles G. Dawes (American Banker), the reparations were lowered to a more manageable level, and also it was agreed that American banks would invest in German industry, which meant that not only would German businesses would get a cash boost, but
