With reference to Vesalius, Harvey, and Pare, who made the biggest impact on medical development? The time of the Renaissance introduced new changes and ideas to the medical world. Three important figures were Andreas Vesalius, Ambroise Pare, and William Harvey. All three made famous through their work. The question that has been raised, is which one made the most important impact in medical history? Vesalius studied medicine with great interest. His main study was Anatomy; he became a professor for this in Italy. Here he met artists who were dissecting bodies in order to make their paintings more lifelike. Vesalius believe it was vital for doctors to dissect bodies in order to find out about the human structure and how it works. This went against the catholic rules, which only allowed two bodies a year to dissect. Although, it did encourage other anatomists to dissect, and the public became more interested in his work. In fact, he would host public dissections to entertain the people interested in the human body. Vesalius was one of the first important doctors to question Galen's ideas. He proved Galen was wrong in some of his discoveries. He argued that doctors need to test Galen's ideas rather than just accept them. To highlight his discoveries of the human body, he published books. Such as 'The Fabric of the Human body'. The interesting thing about
Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Poet's Use of Language in "Nothing's Changed" and "Two Scavengers in a Truck,
Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Poet's Use of Language in "Nothing's Changed" and "Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes" "Nothings changed" is a poem about the separation of black people and white people in South Africa. The poem is about all the invisible barriers separating blacks, entering where only white people can go in the country. This poem emphasizes the problems with the system and breaking apart the two different types of culture. "Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two beautiful people in a Mercedes" although they are the same race, this poem uses the phrase "Small gulf" to metaphorically show the distances and differences from higher and lower classes in society. I feel that "Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two beautiful people in a Mercedes" is seen from the view of the "Scavengers" looking enviously down into the Mercedes. This poem stereotypes poorer people as they are labelled as "Scavengers," and the higher class two people are labelled by the poet as "Beautiful" and "Elegant." "Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful people in a Mercedes" instantly introduces the poem by stereotyping the two different classes. The lower class garbage-men are labelled as "Scavengers" while the higher class Mercedes owners are described by the poet as "Beautiful." The title contains a metaphor and a contrast between the two sets of classes because the poem
If we could sort out the issue of debt, we could get on with development. Discuss this view of the crisis facing the world’s poorest countries.
If we could sort out the issue of debt, we could get on with development. Discuss this view of the crisis facing the world's poorest countries. Third world countries are in billions of pounds of debt, and spend more repaying this, than on important services like healthcare. African nations spend approximately $13.5 billion per year repaying debts - more than double the amount they spend on healthcare, and roughly equal to the amount needed to combat AIDS/HIV each year. They are never going to be able to pay off their debts, especially with the rising interest - therefore it will be extremely hard for the countries to develop any further. The key areas I will look at in this piece of coursework are: * Development - What is it? How is it measured? Why are some countries less developed than others? * Debt - How did the crisis start? Other reasons why countries are poor. * Dropping the debt - "Jubilee 2000" and "Drop the Debt" schemes. Why it would help development to drop the debt. What problems dropping the debt would cause. * My opinion - Do I think the debts should be dropped? Why/why not? Would it help the countries to get on with development if the debts were dropped? The world's poorest countries are identified by having a GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of less than US $2000 per person per year. Countries included are Angola, Ethiopia, Zambia, Nicaragua and
Report of Mount St Helens-1980
Report of Mount St Helens-1980 After 123 years of silence, St. Helens showed her first signs of life on Thursday, March 20th with a 4.1 magnitude earthquake centred beneath the volcano. Most northwest newspapers completely ignored this earthquake because President Carter's announcement of the Moscow Olympics boycott dominated the news. May 18, 1980 dawned clear and bright. It was an amazingly beautiful day for May in the Pacific Northwest. Being a Sunday, there were only a few loggers, campers and scientists in the area. Many of these people had been lulled into a false sense of security because of the mountain's recent silence. Not even the scientists could predict exactly what was to come. U.S. Geological Survey volcanologist, David Johnston, was taking measurements the morning of the 18th. At 8:32 a.m. (PST), Johnston radioed "Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!", only moments before he was struck by the advancing wall of rock, ice and trees that swept laterally from the mountain at more than 500 miles per hour. His body has never been found. In May of 1997 an observation and education centre was built on Johnston Ridge in his honour. It is the visitor's centre closest to the mountain. At 8:32 a.m. a 5.1 magnitude quake struck one mile below the mountain. While there had been literally hundreds of earthquakes at the mountain since March 20th, the unstable north
Comparison Between the set roles of Late 19th Century men in the two plays 'Ms Julia' by August Strindberg and 'A Dolls House' by Henrik Ibsen.
Ian Clubb Yr. 12 Comparison Between the set roles of Late 19th Century men in the two plays 'Ms Julia' by August Strindberg and 'A Dolls House' by Henrik Ibsen 'Ms Julia' and 'A Dolls House' are both late 19th Century plays. In the late 19th Century, England was the most economically powerful nation in the world, with naval supremacy and an extensive empire. There was great social change; the nation was becoming more literate and expressive, giving birth to the expression 'art for art's sake'. As a result, controversy and conflict occurred during this time of economic and social change. That caused a knock on effect throughout Europe. A new social class was also formed; this was the middle class, which 'A Dolls House', is based on. During this time of change, men still had family duties which had to be conformed to in the society. Women's role in society stayed the same. Women were left at home while their husbands went to work. Not much was expected from them, but to provide offspring and keep their husbands satisfied. Family image was very important during this time period and loss of face was unacceptable, a tarnished image would lead to gossip and loss of respect from people of the same social class. Image and social status is clearly brought out in both plays and conflict is apparent when social roles are not adhered to. In Ms Julia, Jean is portrayed as the ambitious
Evaluate the claim that the existence of natural evil in the world makes it impossible to believe in a God who is all-loving and all powerful
Evaluate the claim that the existence of natural evil in the world makes it impossible to believe in a God who is all-loving and all powerful (20) One of the main arguments used by non believers against the existence of God is based on the presence of evil and suffering in the world; however there is a distinction between moral evil and natural evil. Moral evil can be explained to an extent by the Augustinian and Irenaean theodicy’s and the free will defence. Augustine argued that evil did not come from God since God’s creation was faultless and perfect, and as evil came from elsewhere God is justified in allowing it to stay. He argued that evil came from Adam when he picked the fruit in the garden of Eden, and as we are all seminally present in the loins of Adam we have inherited original sin, and evil comes from this. He states “Evil then is an accident”. The Irenaean theodicy argued by John Hick argues that evil is ‘soul-making’ and so God is justified in allowing it to stay as it has a purpose. The free will defence argues that evil is the result of free will, and we would not truly be free unless there was the possibility of evil. Richard Swinburne states “The less he allows men to bring about large scale horrors, the less the freedom and responsibility he gives them” . However, natural evil is more difficult to justify. Firstly, how does original sin
'The Republican Party of 1860 bore little resemblance to the Republican Party of 1900'. Discuss.
The Republican Party was born in 1854 out of opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act and by 1856 had replaced the Whigs as the second major political party, alongside the Democrats. Between 1860 and 1900, the Republicans enjoyed enormous success, dominating the presidency as well as controlling Congress for the majority of this period. By 1900, however, it was debatable whether the Grand Old Party (GOP) still resembled the party which had elected Abraham Lincoln president in 1860. This essay will argue that by 1900, the Republican Party no longer resembled the 'Party of Lincoln', especially in terms of its structure and the views espoused by its members. 'By 1860, the Republican Party had clearly become the dominant force in Northern Politics'. 1 However, this dominance was balanced by the huge absence of support for the Republicans in the South. This made the party incredibly sectionalist in nature. For example, the Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln won the presidential election of 1860 with 180 electoral votes, all of which came from the North and the West-Coast. Out of the 11 southern states which would later form the Confederacy, he only featured on the ballot in Virginia, where he won 1.1% of the vote.2 This lack of support was also evident within the legislative branch, as there was not a single Republican Representative or Senator from these southern states in the

Turn to Act two, scene two and remind yourself of the whole scene. This is a very unusual love scene. How effective do you find it and how does it relate to the main concerns of the play as a whole? In act two, scene two Friel has created a very unusual love scene between Maire and Yolland who have just escaped a dance hand in hand. Soon enough language comes between them and they struggle to understand each other. However the litany of place names, which has no essential or specific meaning, touches the heart of Maire and it somehow mysteriously brings them together. This, only for the audience to discover when they speak in their respective languages, their desire for one another is on entirely different basis. Yolland wishes to stay with Maire in Baile Beag a place where he feels he can live, on the other hand Maire sees Yolland as a way of escaping her homeland and moving to a better life elsewhere. The scene starts by suggesting the communication between the two worlds, two cultures is possible. However ironically the two individuals think and perceive things differently and that promise is never fulfilled. Friel has opened the scene with music rising to a crescendo as Yolland and Maire approach running hand in hand and laughing. They begin to speak to each other after slowing down and eventually stopping. Maire speaks first saying "That leap across the ditch nearly
Describe the origins of two modern Jewish groups and explain the ways in which they have developed.
Q1- Describe the origins of two modern Jewish groups and explain the ways in which they have developed. There are two main Jewish group, reform Jews and Orthodox Jews. In some ways the groups could be seen as opposites but thought this is partly true both groups have their similarities to each other. Orthodox Jews are very strict when it comes to their religions. A colloquial term used by Jews for the word 'strict' is 'frum'. The more frum the Jew is the more strictly he or she keeps to the mitzvots given by God to Abraham. There are many different Jewish groups as well as these including 'Jews for Jesus'. Jewdaism is the personal relationship between god and the Hebrews which was established through Abraham. Abraham is believed by Jews to be the first person to recognise and worship the one god. Moses is also an important figure because he united the Jews as a people when god brought them out of slavery in Egypt. Moses was also the person who was given the Torah (Laws and Teachings) by God on Mt. Sinai. Chassidics are the traditional Jews follow the laws of Judaism very closely, both written and oral. They believe that the laws from god are absolute and unchanging. Orthodox Jews are willing to accept Jewish traditions and practices and realise their importance even if they don't observe them themselves. The major reason that Jews divided into the two main groups, Reform
Both Nothing's Changed and Two Scavengers deal with social injustices, however, there are some big differences between them.
Read and examine the poetry from two very different cultures. Although they are both dealing with contrasting societies, explore how each one presents the issue of social injustice and decide which of the two demonstrates more outrage at the injustice explored. Both "Nothing's Changed" and "Two Scavengers" deal with social injustices, however, there are some big differences between them. "Nothing's Changed" is set in Cape Town, Africa and focuses on the segregation of black and white people, after an apartheid was made. It is an autobiographical poem by Tatumkhulu Afrika. The poem is about how District Six used to be a place for blacks and whites to live together. But when that changed, Tatumkhulu left in anger (and prison). Now he has returned to his old home after many years and has discovered that the segregation has gotten wider and worse. The social injustice in the poem is the black and white segregation. On the other hand, "Two Scavengers" deals with the social segregation between the classes in America. At a set of traffic lights, early in the morning (9am), a garbage truck has stopped next to a couple in a Mercedes. The garbage men then ponder on the class system and how they are less respected by people like this couple. They wonder if they'd ever be seen as equals as they wonder if the democracy of America really works. The social injustice in the poem is the
