Paul Harvey Reflection

There was history teacher of East St. Louis high school, named Irl Solomon. He was approached by author Jonathan Kozol, due to column from a journalist. Irl Solomon was a redheaded 54 year old man who graduated Brandeis University, once he entered law school he was suddenly torn away by his concern on civil rights. After one semester in law school he dropped out and decided to go to one of the toughest schools to teach, he still remains there.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, famously known by some for leading the US to freedom during the Civil War in 1861. Significance can be defined as an important historical event that had an impact on society immediately following the event up until fifteen years. It is clear that Abraham Lincoln was not of great significance in the short term; however the events of 31 January 1865 arguably acted as a turning point. According to leading historian Scholar David Zarefsky, acts such as the Confiscation Act (1861) “changed the terms of political discourse, making the slavery issue not…isolated.” Gossie Harold, however, contradicts this statement by expressing that “Blacks…were systematically treated as inferiors, and…were

It was the bloodiest day in American history, the Union won, and Lincoln issue the Emancipation Proclamation. b. British involvement? The British stopped supporting the Confederacy. c. Slavery?

Through the analysis of his speech, it is evident that Lincoln was aiming at preserving the union and this made a great contribution to American Civil War. His act of preserving the union was for the sole purpose of strengthening the country and bring it closer through his ideas that were open minded. Through his speech we can point out the cause of the civil war, the people responsible for it, the consequences of the war and also why his inauguration speech is considered important in early history of America. The actual event was propelled by the victory of the Union which was attained only after a lot of blood was shed and the results were the abolition of slavery.

It was the Declaration of Independence’s 100th anniversary (Background Essay paragraph 1). Everything was going well until the Election of 1876. Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden were running against each other. The election caused quite a conflict. People even said that there might be another Civil War.

There were major issues in national politics. In 1865 President Abraham Lincon is assassinated and Andrew Johnson now becomes president. Then 13th Amendment is ratified, and its forbids slavery. But that really didn 't change the slavery issue and Black codes were enacted in the south to limit former slaves to become self-sufficient.

Again, this was a wakeup call for the entire country. People didn’t really know what was happening in the war. Also, like it said, Abraham Lincoln wanted us to remember the soldiers that fought in the war but not only that, but to bring us back together as a country. The question again that has been asked was “Why was the Battle of Gettysburg a turning point?”

“Abraham Lincoln, a self-taught Illinois lawyer and legislator with a reputation as an eloquent opponent of slavery, shocked many when he overcame several more prominent contenders to win the Republican Party’s nomination for president in 1860.”

Even though no one was killed in this battle it was significant because it was the first real battle of the Civil War. For the North, they viewed Major Anderson and his men as a heroes and the South viewed General Beauregard and his men as heroes as well. President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as president on March 4, 1861. His election was one of the reasons the South seceded from the Union. He restricted slavery in the rebelling states with the Emancipation Proclamation.

Lincoln’s election to the presidency in 1860 aroused the Southern slave states. Those states saw the Republicans as people who were not supportive of keeping the institution of slavery alive in the South. Lincoln effectively demonstrates why the south should not fear if he were to be president. Lincoln wanted to calm the leaders of these states and keep them from seceding from the United States, so he tried to put them at ease in his “First Inaugural Address”.

America’s fifteenth president, James Buchanan, was one of the few candidates of the 1856 election who could have kept America together through the contention over slavery. Many Americans saw his absence during the violence in Kansas in 1854 between pro-slavers and free-soilers, or those against slavery, as giving him an air of neutrality that most of the other candidates in the election did not have. Once elected, Buchanan’s goal as president was to eradicate all sectional parties and preserving the Union. However, by March 1861, when Buchanan departed from the presidency, America was on the brink of a civil war. Buchanan’s appointments for his executive cabinet, his involvement in and complete support of the Dred Scott case, his determination

Frankenstein Written by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein features a creation gone awry in a classic, poetic piece of literature. Shelley paints a dark, sinister book which hopes to expose humanity as bleak and exclusive. Starting off, a man named Robert Walton sends his sister Margaret several letters detailing his adventure as the captain of a ship sailing towards the North Pole. Walton notes that he met a man by the name of Victor Frankenstein, whom he found stranded after attempting to catch another sledge pulled by dogs on a stretch of ice. Once the crew of the ship rescues Frankenstein, he details his life over the past (time interval) to Walton as he recovers from ailments only partially suffered from his encounter with the frigid weather.

The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.
