Why Was the Provisional Government Unable To hold onto power in 1917?
WHY WAS THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT UNABLE TO HOLD ONTO POWER IN 1917? The Provisional Government lead Russia from March to October 1917. It was made up of former members of the Duma, which has been in existence when the Tsar, who had abdicated on 2nd March 1917, was in power. It was made up of the middle classes, which were only a small part of the total population as the peasant class made up 85% of the people and it was out of touch with the needs of the peasants. As it had no grasp of the people's needs, the Provisional Government refused to give land to poor people in the rural parts, which enforced the feeling that it was completely out of touch. This angered the peasants as they needed land to survive The Duma had wanted a western style of government but in fact it had no power and acted as advisers On March 2nd Alexander Kerensky, a leading member of the Soviets, who had a foot in both the Soviet and Provisional camps, joined the Provisional Government as Minister of Justice. On May 5th he became Minister of War and then in July he became the Prime Minister. In March 1917 Lenin returned from exile in Switzerland, via Germany, which Russia was a war with. Germany gave Lenin safe passage to Russia because it knew he would cause trouble for the Provisional Government, which of course he did. On his return Lenin denounced the Soviet support for the Provisional
Study representations 1 and 2 of the Blitz. They are both representations of how civilians reacted to the experience of the Second World War.
Study representations 1 and 2. They are both representations of how civilians reacted to the experience of the Second World War. How far do these representations differ? Representation 1 and 2 are both valid, yet very different depictions of the Second World War’s effect on the reaction of British civilians. Generally, representation 1 embodies the traditional view of Civilians’ reactions to the war, whereas representation 2 epitomizes the modern interpretation of the civilian’s reactions to the Second World War. Within this essay, I will be closely comparing both representations and noting the extent to which they compare and differ. There are many similarities between representation 1 and representation 2. One of the most notable similarities is that they both clearly emphasize and mention the large amount of loss and death that was faced during the Second World War. For instance, representation 1 mentions that “approximately 66,000 civilians” were killed during the war. Likewise representation 2 supports this statement as the boy within the picture (Arnold Tab) is placed in front of a backdrop where dead civilians can be seen. In addition to this, representation 2 mentions that Arnold Tab’s “parents have been killed”. Within both these sources, we are given the idea that thousands of civilians faced death during this tragic war. Consequently
Outline and Evaluate research in to Obedience
Outline and Evaluate research in to Obedience: Milgram carried out research into obedience in 1963. He used a volunteer sample to gather 40 male volunteers that were given the incentive of $4.50. The participants were deceived into believing that they were giving electric shocks to a learner, that was, in reality a confederate. They believed that giving the shocks was a part of a study that was researching the role of punishment in learning. The participants were under the impression that the learner’s task was to memorise a series of words, and for every incorrect answer the participant was instructed to administer a shock that increased by an interval of 15 volts with every mistake made. In reality no shocks were administered but the participants were led to believe the contrary. The confederate, to begin with, answered correctly but then begun to make mistakes and the highest shock in volts that the participant was willing to administer was recorded. The experiment therefore stopped either when the participant refused to give any more shocks or when the highest voltage of 450 volts had been given four times. It was found that 100% of participants went to at least 300 volts and 65% of participants went the whole way to 450 volts. It was clear that most of the participants found the experiment a stressful experience with some showing signs of high anxiety, yet they
Assess the claim that ethnic differences in educational achievement are primarily the result of school factors.
Assess the claim that ethnic difference in educational achievement are primarily the result of school factors. There are clear differences between certain ethnicities within educational achievement as ethnic minorities perform worse than the white population, but this covers wide variations between groups. In particular, Indian and Chinese students outperform white students, while Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Afro Caribbean students do worse than the white population. A key reason for these differences is that factors within school effect certain ethnicities outcomes. A significant factor within school is the idea of teacher racism. Teachers hold labels of students that mean that they often believe Asian students are incredibly naturally intellectual. This meant that certain ethnic minorities got more help from the teacher so straight away they have a clear advantage. Gillborn and Youdell argue that teacher’s racist assumptions led them to believe that Afro Caribbean students would cause trouble and that teachers would see the behaviour of these students challenging. Teachers would then confront their behaviour which would cause problems. Therefore they were labelled by teachers as students who didn’t want to do well. This leads to the self-fulfilling prophecy and helps to explain why Afro-Caribbean’s are seen to underachieve. The idea of an ethnocentric curriculum
How far would you agree that Charles Xs close relationship with the Ultras was the main reason for his downfall in 1830?
________________ How far would you agree that Charles X’s close relationship with the Ultras was the main reason for his downfall in 1830? Charles X was an Ultra-royalist, an extreme right wing who craved for the return of the Ancien Regime and have an absolute monarchy. His close relations to the Ultras and their policy are definitely the main reason for his downfall. It begun with wanting to achieve his aims to restore the ancien regime by undermining the Charter of Liberties 1814; a so called ‘Bill of rights’ for the population of France that created jobs, spread equality and the ability to vote, only a certain amount were able to do this if they fit the criteria. However, Charles and the Ultras wish to abolish this to create an absolutist monarchy, completely ignoring the wishes of the public. Charles X had his coronation on the 28th May 1825 at the cathedral of Reims. It can be considered that the placement of this celebration and the goal of having a divine right of king through the Catholic church as a step towards Charles X downfall in 1830. But why is that? Firstly this would undermine the Charter, even though Article 6 states that “Roman religion is the religion of the state” in Article 5 it allows “Every one [to] profess his religion with equal freedom…” but by fully making the states religion Catholicism without the freedom of practise of any

Drawing upon what you have learned about city road, outline some of the ways in which differences are made and remade on a street that you know. For this assignment I have chosen to discuss Marton Road, Middlesbrough
Dd101 Tma1 DD101 Social Sciences- TMA 1 793 words Drawing upon what you have learned about city road, outline some of the ways in which differences are made and remade on a street that you know. For this assignment I have chosen to discuss Marton Road, Middlesbrough, which has changed greatly over the past twenty years. It has evolved from a small range of independent shops to a wide mix of big name convenience stores as well as a number of individually owned shops such as hair dressers and takeaways. The road has a couple of social hubs that can include all social backgrounds, such as the Methodist church (hall) and the local Working man’s club. Some of the original buildings date from 1909 and contrast sharply with the newly built stores and houses that have arisen lately. The road itself is approximately five miles long. The area I will focus on is from the social club up to James Cook University Hospital which is roughly 1 mile long. It is mainly a working class area with varied social backgrounds. The street itself has a number of different shops varying from hair dressers to bakers to big chain convenience stores like Tesco, Aldi and Spar. I intend to discuss how the shops/facilities have changed as well as the social uses and also the migration aspects, which is in part due to the evolving local area such as the huge Hospital expansion and its effect on the
Essay analysing" The lemon orchard" by Alex la Duma
Alessandra Slerca Class 9A The Lemon Orchard What makes this story effective as a condemnation of the brutality shown towards black people in South Africa? The theme of violence in ‘The Lemon Orchard’ is very interesting because Alex la Duma portrays it in two different ways. Throughout the narrative we have not only the physical violence, but also the emotional and psychological violence the black man suffers from the prejudice the group of white men hold against him and his race. The short story is the author’s way of showing the aggression towards the Negroes in South Africa, and he has managed to portray the racism and brutality present in a very effective way. Alex la Duma starts his story in a lemon orchard at night. The atmosphere created is very tense and conveys a very dark and menacing feeling in the reader. With the light Alex la Duma casts on the night and the “chill in the air”, all of the ordinary things seem eerie and evil, as if the environment were reflecting the malevolence in the white men and their intentions. With the first speech of one of the men from the group, we can already see they are racist. “... It’s as dark as a kaffir’s₁ soul here...” At that moment, the lemon orchard, which might represent many times innocence and gaiety, had gained a completely different significance. The atmosphere serves as a foreshadowing to the
Discuss the Role of Individual Differences in Stress
One of the criticisms of explanations or contributors of stress when looking at it broadly is that it can vary from person to person - an individual's personality or gender can have an effect not only on the likelihood that they may be stressed in particular situations, but also to what extent that may take place. It has been suggested that the differences between men and women can contribute to what both find stressful and consequently, how they cope in stressful situations. There are three main possible differences which could be used to explain the differences between males and females and their response to stress. The biological explanation suggests that males and females have evolved different physiological responses to stress due to their roles in the early evolution of humans. For example, Taylor et all suggested that when in stressful situations, men are more likely to respond with 'fight or flight' in keeping with their hunter role, whilst women 'tend and befriend' since they had the childcare role. It is thought that the hormone oxytocin may also play a part in how women respond to stress, thus producing a more protective response in women. Frankenhauser investigated this by performing a study where he told participants that it was to be a study of pain and offered them the chance to either wait alone or together. Men chose to wait alone in general whilst
Rwanda: Hope in Hell
Review Documentary - Rwanda: Hope in Hell Paul Bradley and Fergal Keane travel to Rwanda to find out how money given to Comic Relief is helping to plant seeds in a country devastated by genocide and HIV .There are two major tribes in Tutsis and the Hutus. From April to July 1994 the Hutus declared a civil war and killed any Tutsis they could find. The Hutus planned campaign called genocide. In 100 days one million Tutsis were killed. The people of Rwanda did not want the world about the massacre. But the United Nations Peace Keeping Force did not intervene. The Hutus were killing people brutally with clubs and machetes to slaughter people. Rwanda is also known as the country of widows because the majority of the Tutsis killed were men. The widows were raped several times and given aids out of cruelty. Over 1.5 million civilians had left their homes to flee the selective massacres against Hutus by the RPF army. They were living in camps; the most famous of them was called Nyacyonga. Rwanda's population consists of three ethnic groups: Hutus (88%), Tutsis (11%), and Twa pygmies (1%). Most Tutsis women have been raped and are dying of Aids. When the women die their children go to an orphanage. Esther is a survivor of the genocide and a widow. Her husband was a teacher and was taken from school to be murdered. She has been helping women who have lost their husbands and are
