Visualize you have to figure out how to stop world hunger. You decide to kill a bunch of people who suffer from world hunger every day. In the end world hunger is gone and no longer a problem in the United States. Did the actions you did to reach your goal justify. Ashoka had to ask himself this question too. Ashoka ruled India from 268 BCE until he died in 232 BCE. Ashoka had edicts written on pillars, boulders, and walls. Ashoka became a Buddhist and worked on spreading the beliefs and faith throughout his reign. Ashoka is considered to be either a ruthless warrior or an enlightened ruler. Ashoka was enlightened because he respected all faiths and he cared about all life. Ashoka was an Enlightened Ruler. What do you think?
At first, Shoguns resisted, but later gave up, instead of starting a possible civil war
In times of fear and hysteria in the U.S. it is mass chaos and it only gets worse and worse. During the time of both the witch-hunt eras, whether for communist or actual witches, they prove to have many similarities between them. Both of these times were full of confusion and lying which lead to the temporary downfall of the authority at that time. Joseph McCarthy proved to be a factor in this time and add on to the chaos that was America. Arthur Miller wrote about these times in a book called The Crucible, based on the witch trial era.
Before this industrialization in 1968, was the Boshin war, which was directly responsible for the Meiji Restoration, due to the fact that after the war, Japan wanted to have one central power, which resulted in Japan’s government wanting to become like an already successful government with one central power, America, however they did not want America’s culture, but merely the style of government, which resulted in Japan becoming much more western. Then after the war, the Meiji Restoration started, which was the new government taking over Japan, this started a westernization movement in Japan, and during this westernization, industrialization started, and then it settled all throughout Japan, building factories, and machines. Similar to this, Russia experienced the Crimean war, which was essentially a wake-up call for Russia to industrialize after it’s terrible loss to both Britain and France, to add to the losses, after that, Japan and Russia fought, and Russia lost horribly, which shocked the entire
Beginning with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inauguration in 1933, the New Deal was passed in the context of reformism and rationalism as the United States proceeded through the Great Depression. The American people looked to the President to instill reform policies to help direct the country out of an economic depression, and thus often sought to abandon the society that existed before the Great Depression. Roosevelt instituted New Deal policies to attempt to combat this period of economic decline, many of which were successful and appealed to the American people’s desires. President Roosevelt’s New Deal is often criticized for being excessively socialistic in nature, thus causing dramatic changes in the fundamental structure of the United
1. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the chairmen of SCLC since he was one of the founders. He was also the face of the Civil Rights Movement and SNCC did not appreciate the way which SCLC used MLK’s image as a base for their income. They also had different approaches to the way which they wanted to tackle the issues. Most of the members of SNCC were students which gave them a different perspective than the members of SCLC.
The American Founding lasted for twenty five years from 1775-1800. During that time, the United States declared and won its independence, a gradual revolution in the political, social, and economic landscape was begun that was not completed by 1800.

It was difficult getting to where I am currently with trying to understand who I was? And who I am? Why I was going through what I was going through? How to understand and interpret what felt almost alien. It wasn’t until after getting into the University of South Carolina as a Biology major that I knew that that wasn’t what I was meant to be doing. But before I realized that wasn’t for me, I looked into, after undergrad and medical school, becoming a neonatal physician and again the more I thought about it the less confident I was going that route. What I did know was that while I may not have wanted to work in that specific profession, I did want to work with children, families, women and girls, and the underprivileged. So after taking the
“Speak boldly and with intellect. Never hush your voice for someone’s comfort. Speak your mind, make people uncomfortable.”— Anonymous. This quote explains what the Americans of the early 1950s had to quickly learn how to do or they would in turn surrender all of their rights to speak and believe freely. This quote exemplifies exactly what Arthur Miller, the author of the 1952 satire— a play, or novel that criticizes other people’s lack of knowledge through humor or irony. —The Crucible. In 1953, Arthur Miller’s The Crucible was first performed on Broadway. Although on the outside the play was just a reenactment of the 1692 Salem Witch Trials, it had a much deeper meaning for its then modern day Americans. During this time there was a “witch-hunt” for communist known as McCarthyism — the use of unjust method to seize communist in America — that was in full swing. Between The Crucible and McCarthyism lay many parallels such as; the accusations of prominent citizens, the lack of evidence to prove
Big changes requires big ideas. During the 18th century in Europe well educated people called philosophes explored ideas about, how to change the society in which they lived. Relying on reason and belief that natural laws held key to understanding human behavior, the philosophes latched onto one big idea also known as freedom. They believed that allowing individuals more freedom and reducing government control would make society better. But what was the central idea of thinkers who led the intellectual revolution of the late 17th and 18th centuries? More specifically, individual freedom was the key establishing effective government, efficient economies, religious peace, and greater equality for women.
The Meiji government 's hand in the rapid industrialization of Japan beginning in the 1870s played a key role in its growing military and territorial ambitions. Eventually, Japan escalated its aggression in the 1920s and used its newfound power to challenge the status quo and pursue regional hegemony. Western states, especially the United States, did not take kindly to Japan 's endeavors, and were forced to put an end to its aggression. The issue of Japan 's threat to American interests in the region during the period prior to its defeat in World War II leads to a debate that questions whether conflict between the two states was inevitable or avoidable. This essay will analyze Japan 's rise and influence as a superpower that put it in opposition
The nation of Japan is one of the countries with the richest and widest range of history. From cultural to political history, Japan has gone their fair share of ups and downs. Today, Japan is commonly known for being one of the world’s leading economic industries, second to the United States. However, a dark past full of struggle and devastation was behind all of Japan’s success and prosperity.
Moreover, there is a prevailing inclination to believe that anything stepping outside of our definition of modernity does not develop towards the better, or is simply not capable of it. Eurocentrism has played a huge role in a number of Great Divergence analyses, and led to the European concept of Western modernity to be put at the core of its explanation. I believe this is the essential point that we must make when taking a critical approach of the differences between Western and Eastern economic development from the eighteenth century onwards. Because of the new inventions that came along with the First Industrial Revolution, agricultural labor started to be viewed as “inferior”, a thing of the past that was now predominant only in areas less developed than Europe. Note the instantaneous association between European industrial development and modernity. This conception of, specifically, some parts of Asia having lagged behind in advancement stayed present throughout much of the following centuries. In part due to this unfolding of events, it is intriguing to currently analyze the relationship of constant competition between Western countries (now possibly even more represented by the US than Europe itself) and Asian economic giants such as China or Japan. Nevertheless, we will not forward deeper into these processes, as it would distance us from our main point of
