    1035 Words  | 5 Pages

    The amount of information that Halttunen presents in terms of the changes to the culture seems overwhelming at points, but it truly shows how well researched this topic was. There are countless pages devoted simply to pointing out the differences in style of dress, and just as much attention is given when researching the new sentimentalist etiquette and its “cult of mourning.” Each main chapter advances the argument quite clearly and demonstrates not only these changes, but what influential people of the time were saying about them. A wide array of works are referenced—everything from short stories to advice manuals, and an especially deep knowledge of the shifting trends in Godey’s Lady’s Book. It lives up to its subtitle in every way—not only proving its main argument about why these changes were taking place, but truly being a thorough study of the sentiments, ideology, and fashion of middle-class life in the 19th

  • Karl Marx: The Contributions Of Vladimir Lenin And Marxism

    Andre Abi Haidar PSPA 210 INTRODUCTION It is always difficult to write about and discuss Karl Marx, or more importantly the applications of Marx’s theories, due to the fact that he inspired and gave rise to many movements and revolutionaries, not all of which follow his theories to the point. Although Marx tends to be equated with Communism, it might not seem righteous to blame him for whatever shortcomings occurred when his theories were put to the test; Marx passed away well before the revolution in Russia, and he played no role in the emergence of the totalitarian regime at the time. When discussing Marx, however, Vladimir Lenin is one of the biggest highlights when it comes to studying the outcomes of Marx’s theories.

    Caring for others has for a long time been seen as something that just a woman does. Rather than a man because in this society they are taught to be macho, and not show that they have feelings, or that anything bothers them.
