Explain what Aristotle meant by the soul (33)
Explain what Aristotle meant by the soul (33) The soul is defined by Aristotle as the perfect expression or realization of a natural body. Aristotle believed that the soul is not immortal as Plato did, he believed that the body is born with the soul (that they are one), and when the body dies the soul dies with it. Aristotle believed that the soul divided into two different parts, the rational and the irrational. The rational side consisted of the calculative of which was responsible for choosing things, and the scientific this is responsible for understanding facts and logic. However depending on what the soul is from depends on what characteristics it has, for example the soul of a human has all of them through to we need to know facts, we need to be responsible and we have desire (for food etc), where as a plant has a vegetate soul, because of it needs the power of growth and nutrients. The soul is a structure of the body, they are interdependent, that they need each other to be able to function to there full ability, the soul was the function and organisation. The soul can produce movement (that is the bodies movement), with out the soul the body would be completely stationary, however if the soul did not have the body then the soul would also be completely stationary. Even though the soul can not move itself, it is moved itself within the body. Aristotle threw
Beginning of the industrial revolution in britain.
Beginning of the industrial revolution in britain. The debate about the start of the Industrial Revolution also concerns the lead of 30 to 100 years that Britain had over other countries. Some have stressed the importance of natural or financial resources that the United Kingdom received from its many overseas colonies or that profits from the British slave trade between Africa and the Caribbean helped fuel industrial investment. Alternatively, the greater liberalisation of trade from a large merchant base may have allowed Britain to utilise emerging scientific and technological developments more effectively than countries with stronger monarchies, such as China and Russia. Great Britain emerged from the Napoleonic Wars as the only European nation not ravaged by financial plunder and economic collapse, and possessing the only merchant fleet of any useful size (European merchant fleets having been destroyed during the war by the Royal Navy). The United Kingdom's extensive exporting cottage industries also ensured markets were already available for many early forms of manufactured goods. The nature of conflict in the period resulted in most British warfare being conducted overseas, reducing the devastating effects of territorial conquest that affected much of Europe. This was further aided by Britain's geographical position- an island separated from the rest of mainland
Medieval Astrology
Medieval Astrology Astrology is an ancient practice many civilizations used. Throughout many years the people believed the stars and planets guided their life to where it would go. Boethius, the counsel of Rome, believed that the movements of the planets told the people of "earthly events." Astrology originated with the Chaldean, in Babylon, Mesopotamia, around 2300 BC. Many people practiced astrology in temples and became religious to many people. Astrology than spread to Egypt around the third millenium BC. Alexander the Great's influence and control on others made a big impact. Aristotle, a great philosopher, began spreading the ideas of astrology throughout the Greek world. It was during this 300-year period of time that the acceptance of astrology flourished into horoscope and zodiacal signs as well. It wasn't until this period it came into existence. The tradition of Greek, Arabic, and medieval astrology was inseparable during the Middle Ages, better known as the medieval times. They believed in the tradition of alchemy, which is believed that Man responds to energies from planets, the Sun, and the Moon. They used to define different human characteristics like mercurial, saturnine, lunatic, venereal, jovial, and martial. They soon began using the guide of the stars to make cures for those who wee sick. Kings, emperors, popes, scientists, doctors used astrology,
Explain what a Muslim believes will happen on the Day of Judgement
Jo Batty B.) Explain what a Muslim believes will happen on the Day of Judgement All Muslims believe in Akirah, life after death. They believe that the present life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence; this life is a test for each individual for the life after death. Muslims believe that the way in which they live their life and the rewards or punishments they will receive in the afterlife is down to the individual responsibility 'It is the day when one should shall be powerless to plead for another'. Muslims believe that everything they do is recorded by their Guardian Angel and shown to them on the Day of Judgement. If a Muslim dies believing that 'There is no true God but God and Mohammad is the Messenger of God' and have shown true submission to the will of Allah then they will be rewarded on that day and will be admitted to paradise, a place of beauty, but those who die while not believing 'There is no true God but God and Mohammad is his messenger of God' or are not a Muslim will be sent to Hell a place of torture. The Qur'an teaches the resurrection of the dead rather than the immortality of the soul (the soul and body wait in the grave until the last day when they will be rejoined and resurrected). On the last day which will be heralded by the sound of a trumpet, everything will stop and disappear 'On the day the firmament will be in a
Margam before the Normans
Margam before the Normans Margam appears to have been an important religious area long before the Normans arrived in 1147. On Margam mountains there are Bronze Age memorial Cairns. The Romans arrived in Wales in the 1st century A.D and fought bitter battles against the Silurian tribesmen on Margam Mountain. As the Romans became more powerful, the Celts began to adopt Christianity, which was the official roman religion, they also adopted many roman cultures. When the Romans left in 410 A.D the Celts continued to follow Christianity albeit in a Celtic fashion. All things roman were considered to be status symbols and signs of authority, consequently local chieftains re-used roman stones as Christian memorials. An excellent example of this is a roman milestone, that was originally erected (about 300 A.D) to honour the Emperor Maximus and re-used in the 6th century as a memorial to a local leader called cantus. There are also squared up-right pillar stones commemorating Pumpeius and Bodvoc both dating back to 6th century. An old legend says that a person reading the inscription on the Bodvoc stone would die within a month. Fourteen stones from the 9th, 10th, and 11th centuries have been found ion the Margam area. The most famous is the 10th century cross of Conbelin (another local leader) considered to be 1 of the finest Celtic crosses in Britain. Other crosses include those
The Black Death
The Black Death in the Middle Ages killed millions. Its symptoms were painful, unpleasant swelling under the arm. Sometimes blood oozed out of the neck, armpits and groins. Also the sufferer may develop a high fever and would probably die in the next forty-eight hours or so. Medieval medicine or charms etc normally did not work. Some Priests led wiping processions as they believed?that the plague was caused by god as a way of punishing them. They believed that by punishing them the plague might bypass them; obviously this was all nonsense. More practical methods were herb scented vinegar which having said medieval cures were useless this one did have some affect as it contained powerful antiseptic. The Black Death was probably a mixture of the bubonic plague and bacteria infection- that's what the scientists say anyway. This however in the Middle Ages was a completely different case. Some people thought the plague was a natural disaster. Fear of death was almost everywhere including the more powerful ones i.e. kings and queens. Other people thought the plague was a punishment from god so gave plenty of money to bulid statues, crosses and new church buildings. The plague arrived in Europe in 1347 and spread westwards. Its was caused when a flee bit an infected rat, it sucked its blood which was infected and then bit a human- therefore transferring the inflected blood onto the
Revolution 1905 - Black Hundreds
Revolution 1905 - Black Hundreds The revolt spread to non-Russian parts of the empire, particularly Poland, Finland, the Baltic provinces and Georgia, where it was reinforced by nationalist movements. In some areas the rebellion was met by violent opposition from the antirevolutionary Black Hundreds who attacked the socialists and staged pogroms against the Jews. The Black Hundreds were reactionary, antirevolutionary, and anti-Semitic groups formed in Russia during and after the Russian Revolution of 1905. One of the most important of these groups was the League of the Russian People (Soyuz Russkogo Naroda). The Black Hundreds were secretly formed and unofficially sanctioned by the government. Made up primarily of landowners, wealthy peasants, bureaucrats, and police, the Black Hundreds attacked and killed revolutionaries in the Russian provinces. While organised local massacres (pogroms), especially of Jews had been a regular part of life since the assassination of the Alexander II. They became particularly violent and frequent under the leadership of the Black Hundreds, who instigated pogroms in more than 100 cities. During the war with Japan the anti-Semitic press blames the Jews for conspiring with the enemy. These campaigns culminated in a new wave of pogroms after the disastrous defeat of Russia. The Black Hundreds then openly declared the extermination of the Jews

Did the lives and status of women change as a result of the industrial revolution in the period 1750-1850?
Did the lives and status of women change as a result of the industrial revolution in the period 1750-1850? The industrial revolution, with the development of new technologies, a centralisation of manufacture and an increasing focus on capitalist production, was bound to have far-reaching implications throughout the country. Therefore, this is not so much a question of whether or not change occurred but how much change occurred and whether it had a positive or negative effect on women, and also how much remained the same. Regional differences, as well as variations from industry to industry, and from year to year, must also be taken into account. In order to answer this question fully, the general way of life pre-industrialisation must be explored. During the eighteenth century, families often worked together as an economic unit, producing goods for subsistence and possibly also to sell or exchange. There was an idea dating back to the Tudor and Stuart period that everybody should work together for "one common interest"¹, therefore women and men worked together, both contributing to the family economy. Although men were looked upon as the head of the family, and women were given possibly lesser tasks and responsibilities, at least they gave a "different yet equally indispensable contribution"², and were reliant upon the other for the interests of the family.
