Aeroplanes - are they good or bad?
Aeroplanes Essay (good or bad) Aeroplanes have been with us for a while now and we use them as a transport vehicle. They were first Designed and successful flew by Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright (as known as the Wright Brothers) in December 1903, see image on left. The first flight was an altitude of 10 feet, 120 feet and landed 12 seconds after takeoff. After making two longer flights that day, the Wright Brothers sent this telegram to their father, instructing him to "inform press." Earlier in 1900, Wilbur Wright wrote to a French aviation pioneer (Octave Chanute) and expressed the belief that "flight is possible to man, and I feel that it will soon cost me an increased amount of money if not my life". Though out the years of having the airplane they have brought good and bad to the world but first of all I am going to talk about the bad things it has brought to the world. To start of with I will talk about 911 where two aeroplanes crashed into the two tallest towers in the world (as known as the twin towers). The aeroplane was used a weapon in this example (and for very bad use) they have also been used to drop bombs on other countries. I don't know why they do it but I think its just stupid. If I was part of the government I would 1.) Only sell aeroplanes to people with a special licence. 2.) Have a security Device on the aeroplane were it could automatically over ride
Is there sufficient evidence in sources A to B to explain why people have come to Britain since 1880?
History Coursework - Multicultural Britain - Q1. Is there sufficient evidence in sources A to B to explain why people have come to Britain since 1880? No there isn't sufficient evidence in sources A to B to explain why people have to come to Britain since 1880 because in each of the sources we have to use our own knowledge to fully understand each source. Source A Source A tells us that it is the May laws which were passed in 1890, but only really enforced eight years later. The source tells us that Jews may only live in towns and they cannot own land, if they did live in the countryside or own land they would be expelled from there homes. The source also tells us that they will only be able to live and work in certain areas and that they cannot own mines or work as miners. Jews were also limited in number at school and university to 5% of all students. The laws denied Jews the chance to train as or become lawyers. Jews also were not allowed to hold Government jobs. The source also tells us that under these new laws nearly 1 million Jews will be expelled from there homes. The source doesn't tell us why the Jews left Russia and came to Britain, or the reason for the source to be written or who the source was written by. We do know from our own knowledge the affects of the laws and why they came to Britain. We know from our own knowledge that Jewish farmers had to become
Olympics More Than Just A Sport
In the 21st century, today we look at the Olympic Games as much more than just a sporting event, especially since time has moved on and we have so much understanding for the games. For the British Museum in London I'm going to prove that "The Olympic Games are more than just a sporting event". In my exhibition I'm going to look at five main areas that could be seen as using the games to show some historic moments by using the Olympics as a platform for boycotts, racism and to raise awareness on certain issues that proves the Games were and still are more than just a sporting event. Pierre de Coubertin (see to the right), founder of the Modern Olympic Games said "Racial distinctions should not play a role in sport." As well as then going on to say "Sport is the habitual and voluntary cultivation of intensive physical effort." This is how he wanted the Olympic to be, a place where understanding of other races were respected and all sport and medal achievers won because of their own effort and not with the help of anything else. As the years went on, and more Olympics took place the world saw what Pierre didn't want to happen. To show the Games were used and still are used to raise international significance I am going to look at four main areas, these being Racism, Terrorism, Cold War, as well as the recent Olympic Games, Beijing 2008. I have chosen these topics because
19902 to 2000s
WAZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUPPPPP! Welcome to tonight's episode of DECADE IN REVIEW. We have the privilege of tonight looking into the 1990s and 2000s. we will be interviewing four people about their passion and its relevance in the 1990s and 2000s. The 1990s and 2000s is considered the most eventful era, with more than 2000 inventions created, along with numerous scientific, medical and technological advancements. Global warming became our natural threat, and the issue of terrorism became our focal point. Entertainment reached a new standard, with the release of high definition video and blu-ray discs, and music was now more readily available with a larger variety to suit all tastes. Constant fashion changes plagued these two decades and sport became an essential part of our lives. The 1990s and 2000s were indeed the most eventful decades. But first, we must pay tribute to this heart stopping moment of the entire world. Now our First Guest tonight is AAAAAARAAAAN KETHHEEESON Now Aaran, I see your specialty is sports. Could you give us an insight into famous sporting events in the 1990s and 2000s Sport Sports in the 1990s became an integral part of society. Beginning in the early 1990s, Channel Nine televised live, Rugby League matches to free to air Television which kickstarted our addiction to sport. The Olympic Games in Sydney was also declared the best Olympics
In what ways did the work of Bletchley Park influence the out come of the Second World War?
In what ways did the work of Bletchley Park influence the out come of the Second World War? Ultra was able to help the outcome of the war in many ways. This was done by giving information that they has decoded to the British forces. Some of this information they got helped to win great battles other pieces couldn't help or wasn't used by the military but aided in future decoding. During the early years of the war the information that Bletchley Park was decoding was not always being put to full use by the armed forces. The armed forces didn't trust the information because Bletchley Park was a secret to everyone and they couldn't be told where it was coming from. A good example of this is the invasion of Denmark and Norway; Bletchley Park was able to decode all of the information that could have helped to prevent it invasion but the OIC (Naval Intelligence) didn't trust the information so didn't act to help them. In some cases the information that Bletchley Park handed over didn't influence the war that much. This happened when there was a lot of activity in South Africa. Although they did provide a lot of information that led to the sinking of about 45% of supply ships there was a downfall to it. The information wouldn't always reach them in South Africa and then when it did would be useless as the opportunity to use it had passed. This shows although Bletchley Park was
SLAVE TRADE PROJECT
SLAVE TRADE PROJECT BY: ASMITA DHAKAL > DEFINITION The "North-Atlantic slave trade", which is also commonly known as "Transatlantic slave trade" was the international trade in slaves the world has ever known. The slaves (who were African and Caribbean people) were enslaved and supplied to North America and other parts of America for exchange of goods like cotton, rum etc. As the slaves were taken to world (countries) near Atlantic Ocean, this trade is called North-Atlantic Slave Trade. Most slaves were shipped from West Africa and Central Africa. Generally slaves were taken through coastal trading with Africans, but some were captured by European slave traders to make double benefit. Historians believe that slaves reached America but they were only half the number which was taken from Africa. Before 16th century Portuguese used to trade only deposits of gold from Africa but then they decided they could use those people for more readily need- labours. Africans couldn't be simply traded like normal people because they may escape easily, so what the Europeans thought was maybe they could be - slaves. That was more treating like animals than human beings. By the 18th century the trade was spread almost everywhere. It was a trade which was especially fruitful, since every stage of the journey could be profitable for merchants -- the infamous triangular trade. So, this
Jack The Ripper -Source based work.
Jack The Ripper . Source A can teach us a number of things about the murder of Polly Nichols and Martha Tabram, but it is hard to determine whether this information is entirely factual or just information that the newspaper has exaggerated to sell. Victorians liked to be shocked so maybe the newspaper wanted to make the article as horrifying as possible. Despite all this the article still tells you that people were taking these murders very seriously. The murder of Polly Nichols was unusual as the killer appeared to have no motive "No adequate motive in the shape of plunder can be traced." In those times most people were murdered for money, yet at the time of her death Polly Nichols had no money with her. The people of London were shocked because the murders of Polly Nichols and Martha Tabram were so peculiar; neither of them were mugged or raped but mutilated. People felt insecure and scared by these unusual killings, the fact that already the murders of these two women had been linked shows that there was a complex investigation. Out of many murders in the east end of London Martha Tabram and Polly Nichols stood out from the others. 2. Source B and C are alike in the way that they are both telling formal facts about the death of Polly Nichols, whereas source A is possibly a more exaggerated version of the death because Victorians liked gory, shocking
Assess the relative importance of the long term and short term causes of the First World War
Assess the relative importance of the long term and short term causes of the First World War Many factors leading up to the World War in 1914 can be studied. The main issues are the significance of the European alliance system, the Balkans crises' and general tensions between the Great Powers that lead to the general outbreak of war caused by nationalism, militarism and imperialism. An analysis into the importance of each shall be judged, in order to draw what were the main causes, in long term and short term that lead to the world's first global conflict. The Alliance System at the beginning of the 20th Century can be seen as a long term cause for war. Nationalism played part in that powers felt more security with allies, just in case of an event of conflict. Countries were obliged to support each other in joining the war through complicated alliance links, explaining why the war escalated to a world war as it did. It stemmed from the breakdown of the complex Bismarkian alliance system. For example, the failure for Germany to renew the Reinsurance Treaty with Russia pushed Russia and France to seek friendship from their isolated positions. However the relative importance of this cause is somewhat weak. The system was actually rather limited: for example, the Triple Entente was a loose agreement, Italy lacked dedication in the Triple Alliance, the Franco-British Entente had
The Police and Jack the ripper
Question 5 I agree with 'the police were to blame for not capturing Jack the Ripper' because the police carried out a lot of any many faults that slowed down there investigation and brought disruptions in them. Firstly, the police were looking for the wrong person, they considered the Ripper was a human butcher rather than an educated person with medical knowledge "both crimes are the work of a demented being, as the extraordinary violence used is the peculiar feature in each instance" this tells us that the media and possibly the police believed that the murderer was a mad man, but in other sources the murders of the Ripper seemed more like a operation made by a doctor, and educated person like a doctor wouldn't do such killings. However the serial killer was reported as a "skilful person" with a lot of medical knowledge who knew about each organ and were it was situated, source B; part of the Coroner's report of the death of Polly Nicholls, "the injuries have been made by someone who had considerable anatomical skill and knowledge...no unskilled person could have known where to find the organs, or to have recognized them when they were found. No mere slaughterer of animals could have carried out these operations" this was a very reliable report, it gives us the idea that the butcher was very clever, the police should have looked through the doctors residents in
'It seems that history is to blame.' (Joyce, Ulysses) Discuss the representation of history in at least two of the course texts.
'It seems that history is to blame.' (Joyce, Ulysses) Discuss the representation of history in at least two of the course texts. 'To hell with the truth as long as it rhymes.'(65)1 The presentation of history in Friel's plays, Translations and Making History and McGuinness's play Observe the sons of Ulster marching towards the Somme demonstrates both its complications and flaws. All three plays investigate the nature of history and its presentation to future generations. The predominant issue is that described above, does it matter if history is annaled completely truthfully? In a comparison between the truth and a good story, the narrative appears to win through. The corroboration between truth and 'storytelling' becomes such a complicated issue due to the many contradictions within Irish history and how the historians of either side compensate for these. 'History,' in these plays is no longer the presentation of factual evidence; due to the pervading element of propaganda the truth becomes subordinate to the story people want to tell, or the tale people want to hear. All three plays question whether the definite reality of the situation is all-important, or if it is only a version of the truth that we really want to hear. Terence Brown terms the years 1959-79, the 'Decades of Debate.' During this period a new approach to the historiography of Ireland emerged with
