Historical Interpretation Essay
Historical Interpretation Essay: Luke 13:23–24
This essay will provide historical interpretations from various theologies on bible verse Luke
13:23–24. As many different theologies can provide different interpretations, chosen for this essay
will be the theological works from the Sacra Pagina Series, Anchor Bible Passages, and
Commentary on Matthew, Mark, Luke Volume 1 by John Calvin. The verse reads as: "Someone
asked him, Lord, are only a few people going to be saved? He said to them, strive to enter through
the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to." (International
Bible Society, 725)
The Sacra Pagina series presents a challenge to the commitment of the readers to Luke as the author

It is sought for by them, however they do not agonize for it, and therefore, they are shut out. The
meaning of the passage that is more probable is that which refers this "seeking" to a time that is
determined to be "too late;" to the time when the master has arose. They neglect religion in this life,
and are involved in other things. At death, or the time of judgment, they will desire entrance; but it
will be too late – the door will be shut; and because religion is not made the primary business of their
life, therefore they cannot "then" enter in.
In the Anchor Bible theology, verse 23 is considered problematic. "But it is too best explained as
a question ascribed to an unnamed listener fashioned by Luke himself to introduce the traditional
material that follows." (Fitzmeyer, 1021) The question of "Lord, are only a few people going to
be saved?" (International Bible Society, 725) is a question either of curiosity or impertinence,
which the answer can bring profit to no man. The question which should be asked is, can I be
saved, and if so how? Do your utmost to gain entrance through the strait and exert every power of
body and soul. Let your salvation be the

Argumentative Essay On Memorials
Memorializing events in the history of the world for any purpose has it's positives as well as the
negatives. Ranging from a memorial of a popular United States president from a loved one of a
family, memorials have generally served as a purpose of remembrance from the past of said event.
The purpose of the memorial is usually associated with a positive, uplifting feeling towards the
deceased individual or past event. While this is more or less simply defining what memorials are
for, what is the meaning behind them? What purpose do they serve besides the simplicity that they
are? Important messages from a few varied sources will give a differing viewpoint on memorials
from one to another. The first thought of memorials is the simple, generic...show more content...
Memorials are meant to be striking in the sense that you will notice said memorial and donate some
attention to it. The views of these see this attention capturing as exceedingly high for some purposes.
Some memorials are outstanding in their craftsmanship and aesthetics. This makes people wonder
what could be lurking inside the memorial, or what is near that memorial. What we've got here is a
formula, striking looks of the monument is almost guaranteed to attract some form of attention.
According to Source G, the analogy of tainting the planet with specific memorials are ridiculous, "I
imagined taking a knife and cutting into the earth, opening it up, an initial violence and pain that in
time would heal. The grass would grow back, but the initial cut would remain a pure flat surface in
the earth with a polished, mirrored surface, much like the surface on a geode when you cut it and
polish the edge. The need for the names to be on the memorial would become the memorial; there
was no need to embellish the design further. The people and their names would allow everyone to
respond and remember. The ideals of such nonsensical placements of the memorials are just irritable

The Tudors Effect On History Essay
Argument Persuasion Essay: The Tudors Effect on History
"Nothing would be the same for any woman in this country again.... For everyone would know
that if a wife such as Queen Katherine of England could be put aside for no reason, then any wife
could be put aside." (Gregory, 2002, 276) The Tudor dynasty was a well–known royal family during
England in the 1500's. The best known, and discussed ruler during this time was King Henry the
VIII. He is known for his many wives, specifically six, and also his radical reformation of the
English Church. King Henry VIII was very concerned with having a male heir to continue the
dynasty. For that reason, he annulled his first marriage to Queen Catherine of Aragon. This
annulment of his first marriage fuelled the creation of the English Church. Although Henry VIII may
have acted in pure self–interest, this creation of the English Church would later lead to the Protestant
Reformation. Students studying the Tudor Dynasty should appreciate the steps taken in religious
history by King Henry VIII.
King Henry 's desire for a male heir changed religious history. He was willing to annul his first
marriage to ensure the continuation of the Tudor dynasty through a male heir. England wanted a
strong alliance between England and Spain, leading to the marriage between Catherine of Aragon
and King Henry VIII. Catherine had been married once before to Henry's brother, Arthur. Once she
was widowed, she was then remarried to Henry. Henry was desperate for

World History Exam Analysis
The 2017 Advanced Placement World History Exam is a high stakes exam that if passed students
will receive college credit at various collegiate institutions. The foundation of the exam is intended to
assess student's historical thinking skills and their ability to support a historical argument within six
specific historical time periods. Students are required to analyze and interpret historical evidence and
understand historical point of view, all the while, learning the world history content from10,000 BCE

The first is the fifty five multiple choice timed section must be completed in fifty five minutes and
the second is the short answer questions (SAQ) students must complete four questions but one will
not be graded. Each element of the writing section is a vital component that will allow students to
demonstrate their ability to apply the historical thinking skills to a specific world history standard
within a specific time period. The structure of the SAQ short answer question I agree with as it
requires students to demonstrate specific identification and analysis, however the aspect that I do
not agree with is the simple fact that students are required to complete four out of four of the
questions but only three will be graded. This brings me to my point of grading and pacing of the
exam, particularly the stimulus based multiple–choice questions and the SAQ. If students are
required to "directly address one or more of the thematic learning objectives and respond to a
specific primary source, historical argument, nontextual source such as graph, picture or map data

The Importance Of Historical Writing
Historical writing can be done in a number of ways. Based on the approach, historical writing can
be very compelling or lack usefulness. In Stono, there are four different historical approaches to
writing. All pertaining to the same event, the Stono slave rebellion. In New Social History, Hoefferle
approaches history in an analytic, more scientific approach. Looking at the social economic factors,
and using social science methods, to understand history. Hoefferle argues that race, and gender,
shaped the social history. In The Power of History, Appleby argues that historical writing,
historiographical analysis, is translating. She argues that historical writers are translators to the rest
of society, of what history is most relevant. In When Fish Walk on Land, Eustace argues that since
1970, social history has broken the one synthesis mold. She argues there has to be a compilation, and
balance, of synthesis, fragmentation, and a narrative, in historical writing. In Conflict and the "Slave
Community," Forret argues the psychological and social implications of slavery. He argues that they
were put in situations that led them to violence. In interpreting the Stono slave rebellion, Forret's
argument contributes the most to understanding why, when, and how. Forret's argument aids in
understanding the revolt, pertaining to psychological, and societal influences. In Anatomy of a
Revolt, Peter H. Wood provides a classic interpretation of the revolt. He argues that

Historical debates are the most common, and often most effective, tool for which new study and
scholarly perspectives are forged. The topic of municipalization might not seem at first glance like a
vessel for heated scholarly debate; however, once one peels back the curtain, several lines of
argument arise. Municipalization, in the classical sense, is the effective bringing–into–the–fold of
institutions and governments under the control of a larger body. This particular inquiry will focus
on the Roman Empire, and one particular source of law that has sparked a wider discussion on the
phenomena of municipalization in the entirety of the Roman sphere–of–influence, the Tabula
Heracleensis. More detail will be given to the specific aspects of...show more content...
The most pertinent aspects of Scott's study to the Tabula Heracleensis are censuses, standardization
of weights and measurements, and the organization of trans–regional transportation. These things are
all mentioned in some form in the Tabula, and thus we must try and apply Scott's theory to it. Scott
essentially believes that states cannot possibly understand the intricacies of social phenomena and
any attempt at large–scale standardization (or municipalization) is carried out through the coercive
force of the state and will likely result in a negative social environment. This is shown best through
the quote, "Because local standards of measurement were tied to practical needs, because they
reflected particular cropping patterns and agricultural technology, because they varied with climate
and ecology, because they were 'an attribute of power and an instrument of asserting class privilege,'
and because they were 'at the center of bitter class struggle,' they represented a mind–boggling
problem for statecraft." In a rather long–winded way, Scott is asserting that governments often
cannot account for the social, economic, and cultural methodologies that go in to a particular aspect
of daily life. This will become key once applied to the Tabula.
As for Edward Bispham's work From Asculum to Actium: The Municipalization of Italy from the
Social War to Augustus, Bispham has a different take on Municipalization this time specifically

Historical Monuments
When thinking about architecture, many visual images come to mind. The works of many are seen
everywhere we go, from the average home to a New York skyscraper. As these buildings are fairly
common to most of us, we forget to incorporate the work of our prehistoric man that gave us the
foundation of early architecture. Pre–historic monuments provide us with numerous amounts
information about our past and how life existed in these prehistoric times. When comparing two
great works from ancient times, we will determine the main reason for these buildings as well as
rituals that were held and there excavations and discoveries.

There were also artifacts and findings that were discovered in the excavating period of New Grange.
There were bones of three dogs along the chamber, which are uncertain if these dogs are from ancient
times or just strays that got caught within the chamber. Approximately seven–hundred and fifty
bones were found by archeologist mostly animal bones. Gold objects were also found, a gold chain
and two gold rings, as well as, twenty–one roman coins, most in mint condition.
The Great Stupa at Sanchi, India is another example of great monumental architecture. Ashoka
Maurya (273 – 236 BC) was the most famous of the Buddhist rulers of India. Emperor Ashoka built
a total of eight stupas on the hilltop of Sanchi including the Great Stupa. A great number of stupas
and other religious structures were added over the succeeding centuries. The Great Stupa has a bell
shaped hemispheric design made up of bricks. The interior of these stupas were mainly filled with
ruble and relics of Buddha and his followers. These stupas became forgotten and started to decay
with the decline of Buddhism. Yet, between 1912 and 1919 the stupas were carefully reconditioned
and restored. The stupas included four gateways, or toranas, which are one of the finest arts of the
Sanchi. The north torana consist of two rectangular posts which have four elephants with riders that

Statues In The History Of The United States
Historical Monuments In the history of the United States, there was a conflict because of
controversy over slavery and states' rights. This was the Civil War, when the southern states
seceded from the United States because they believed they should keep slavery. The Civil War
carried on from 1861 to 1865. In this time period, both sides had leaders that they looked up to such
as the North having Ulysses S. Grant, and the South with Robert E. Lee. Usually with leaders people
look up to they wish to memorialize them, thus the memorials of these people come to be. Now in
the present there are issues involving such statues, groups of people that believe the monuments
shouldn't be displayed are vandalizing and in some cases desecrating these statues because they
feel they are racist. In my opinion, I believe the statues should stand as a reminder for history to
not repeat itself. I feel that if the public does allow this, then where does it stop? Is there some way
to compromise instead of removing them completely? These statues may have been put up to
memorialize the leaders that were fighting for their right to own slaves, but back then they didn't
know any other lifestyle. According to Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, even George
Washington, one of the founding fathers, owned slaves, but he did emancipate them after his death.
The memorials should stand as a reminder for us to not go back to that way of life, that every
human is made equally, that we all bleed red. People

Have you noticed a trend with the historical arguments? We're continuously on opposing sides each
week, however, this is a good thing. The discussions are much more interesting when you have to

have argued that Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb was a barbaric act that brought negative
long–term consequences to the United States. Additionally, some military analysts insist that Japan
had been weak, ergo the bombings were unnecessary. Therefore, the American government was

Argumentative Essay On The Great Depression
Sleepless nights, drowning debt, suicide attempts, and the inevitable fall towards unemployment.
These are the things that not only make up but almost define the title "The Great Depression." The
Great Depression was a collapsing disaster. One after another, the government along with society
fell to their knees. Stock markets crashed leaving most Americans bankrupt and on their own to
support themselves and their families off of loose change. Jobs were as rare as ever, people went
unemployed left and right. People were left to fend for themselves on the streets with no roof over
their heads. This along with everything else, took a tremendous, emotional toll on society. Some
even saw no other options than ending their lives. The Great Depression had an emotion drenching
and ground breaking effect on the generation to go through it.
One of the first things that led to a crashing course of events was the people financial tragedies.
According to one person who had lived through that time, "We weren't hungry but we were
penniless" (Hastings). The use of the word "penniless" really represented how people had zero
money. This was not the type of poverty where society was not able to afford self wants. This was
the type of poverty that people could barely afford their own needs and necessities. It's very
important how stressed this topic must be. Another quote says "With no dependable income we cut
back on everything possible." (Hastings). That means even the simplest things such as toothpaste
and towels. This time period,1930s, was the greatest stock market crash. Stock markets crashed
simply because of many economic failures, and when this happened many people were left with
nothing. "Most Americans, of course, owned no stocks at all, so they were not in danger of going
bankrupt overnight" (Hayes). This quote from the text was brought up to show how mostAmericans
did not even own stocks because it was a perfectly common thing for someone to end up with
nothing in less than 24 hours, "overnight." Althoug h, stocks were not the only reason people had
no money. Credit and banks failing had a huge part in that as well. "Banks stopped lending money.

Argumentative Essay On Pearl Harbor
December 7th, 1941, was the day 2,403 Americans lost their lives and 1,200 wounded during the
Japanese air raid, on Pearl Harbor. On this day, the US Navy lost almost the entire Pacific Fleet in
the harbor. After the attack, all the ships were either sunk or severally damaged minus the aircraft
carriers. The aircraft carriers luckily were still at sea. The total number of military personnel killed
was 2,335, including 2,008 navy personnel, 109 marines, and 218 army. Added to this were 68
civilians, making the total 2403 people dead. 1,177 men alone were from the USS Arizona.
The attack on Pearl Harbor is something that is taught in grade school history. However, if it is
being taught correctly that's a different story. As a child, we believe everything that the teacher
taught us even if it was a lie. The story of Pearl Harbor is a horrific event that has been revealing
more information throughout the years. What was taught in school was Pearl Harbor was a
surprise attack by the Japanese. That the Japanese managed to fly into US Airspace and destroy our
ships and planes for no reason. As we research more about this particular topic, we discover that the
United States was doing a really good job keeping secrets. For example, the Japanese has a reason to
attack the US.
The United States along with our allies Britain and Dutch, provoked the Japanese to attack. In
1937 Japan declared war on China which aggravated the US. The US and its Allies formed a plan
and cut off the oil supply for the Japanese military. No oil, meant no fuel for the war. By the US
making the strategic plan to cut of the oil supply, left the Japanese finding oil elsewhere. So, they
planned to invade into the Philippines and the Malaya territories. By moving into these locations
with the hopes of finding a steady source of natural resources such as oil and rubber. In order to
do so, the Japanese empire had to cripple the US military base that was 5,276 miles way. After
months of planning, the Japanese Empire put their attack in motion. After many different red flag
scenarios, the Japanese Bombers still managed to get the upper hand on us. With all of the red flags
that's presented hours, days, weeks before the attack why was the Pacific not

Argumentative Essay On The Salem Witch Trials
The Salem Witch Trials The largest outbreak of witchcraft in America took place in Salem,
Massachusetts in 1692. A group of girls, including the Parris's Indian slave Tituba, gathered in the
Salem village and were attempting to see the future by decoding "messages". Shortly after this
gathering the girls started showing signs of the possessed (pg. 73). To this day people all over
America are still amazed with the events that took place in this time. But why is that? The fear of
the village fell heavily onto the judicial system, which later made people focus on the proper
separation of government and religious beliefs. Mass hysteria broke out amongst the village and
many people were being accused, therefore leading to many innocent deaths. Although there could be
many theories as to the reason the witch trials in Salem began, there are two points of view that are
very commonly shared amongst people. Some believe that the Salem witch trials were women
unconsciously searching for power, whereas others believe it was an encephalitis epidemic. In fact,
Lyle Koehler believes that the women of Salem were unconsciously seeking power in the patriarch
world that they lived in. There indeed was a pattern to those being convicted of witch craft in Salem.
Three–fourths of the people accused were female, of the 56 men accused, half were related to the
accused women (pg. 74). To Kholer this just seems too specific to be an encephalitis epidemic. The

World War 2 : Argumentative Essay
World War 2 Argumentative Essay
World War 2 was a massive war which engulfed the whole world from 1939– 1935. There were 2
different sides in the war. These two sides were the Allies and the axis. At the start of the war, the
Allies consisted of Great Britain and all of its colonies (such as Australia) and France. The Axis
consisted of Germany, Italy, Japan and the Soviet Union. At the start of the war theaxis powers were
dominating. Germany used "Blitzkrieg" (Lighting war) tactics very successfully and overran
many countries using it. But some major events occurred and turned the tide of the war to the
favour of the Allies. However two of these major events are most often talked about to be the
reason that the axis powers eventually lost. One of these events includes the Japanese attack on
pearl harbour. This brought America into the war and onto the side of the Allies. The other of the
two events was instigated by Germany itself. Germany decided to attack one of their allies. This
ally was the Soviet Union. There is often a lot of debate about which of these events is greatest,
that is to have had the biggest effect in the war. So the question has to be asked, was it the US
entrance into the war that made the defeat of Germany inevitable, or it caused by the German attack
of the Soviet Union. In my opinion it was not the US entrance to the war, but the German invasion of
the Soviet Union that made the ultimate defeat of Germany inevitable. This is because they put

Argumentative Essay On The American Revolution
The American Revolutionary War in 1755 spouted from a conflict between the British government
and British people living in the then 13 American colonies. The crown and his legislature passed tax
measures, which the people of the thirteen American colonies fiercely opposed. American leaders
took action against taxes because the government that created the laws offered no representation for
those being taxed which is where taxation without any representation stems from. The crown only
allowed upper–class men vote in England and most elections within American colonies, although the
American voting class weren't able to express on the ballots their views of the parliament. In this

Thesis:
With the overhanging threat of nuclear war looming over the entire world, a group of brave heroes
emerged. As fear began to become reality, an unsuspecting group of cardiologists made it their
mission to "clog the arteries of support for nuclear weaponry until the heart of the atomic arms race
stopped beating." Bernard Lown and Yevgeny Chazov founded the International Physicians for the
Prevention of Nuclear War(IPPNW). The IPPNW, a group of physicians determined to nuclear
warfare, successfully helped influence peace treaties, subsequently ending the Cold War. While their
work was only intended to address the prevailing nuclear crisis, they inadvertently laid the
framework for a nuclear–free future.

Arguments For The American Revolution
The American economy has a storied history for its relatively short existence. The British ruled
America until the country was recognized as independent in 1776. There has been much debate
over what was the cause of the American Revolution, but many hypothesize the catalyst to be one of
Britain's aggressive taxation policies, consequentially, leaving the colonists with an incentive to
revolt. In this paper, I will summarize Reid's article, I will then analyze the underlying theories that
Reid uses in making his arguments and show my positions on the incentives that he puts forward. I
will also take a closer look at his model of the political economy and critique its usefulness and
applicability to everyday circumstances as well as its unique interaction with the topic of the
American Revolution. Reid's article sets out to find an explanation for the American Revolution;
specifically, an economic one. As from his title he is attempting to analyze whether there was an
economic burden affecting the American colonies at the time that would incentivize them to move
away from the British government. He addresses the normal supply and demand model that is
ubiquitous in most economic theory. He relates it to the British rule of the period and argues that
this type of model does not adequately model the human factor of political activity that was likely a
very large factor in the American Revolution. Reid argues that the supply–demand model "is static

Persuasive Essay On Monuments And Memorials
Monuments, are how we as people can relive the past and be able to put ourselves at that time
period. For Americans the 9/11 memorial puts us in the gravity and it gives us the impact of what
that disaster did but, it also shows a sense of beauty with how the water falls into the spot where
once stood a tall and powerful building. Monuments, have the aura that has a sense of empathy and
shows more emotion than words ever could, the Holocaust museum gives a solid reminder of what
genocide really is. Monuments and memorials should be based on the size location and what it is
actually standing for it should be for someone who has been influential or it should be something of
war or tragedy. We as Americans don't pay attention to local cemeteries but when they see the
Arlington cemetery or Vietnam memorial or even the WWII memorial people understand what
death is really like and are more appreciative of those people who fought for the United States.
Monuments and Memorials are not to remember those who fought for slavery, who have committed
genocide, or any acts of treason and terrorism there should be no reason to make a statue that
symbolizes something that a culture and a nation does not stand for anymore. Therefore, a
Monument should consider the location, size, and why the monument is built along with the
emotional aura that goes along with it.

Historical Argument Essay Topics

  • 1. Historical Interpretation Essay Historical Interpretation Essay: Luke 13:23–24 This essay will provide historical interpretations from various theologies on bible verse Luke 13:23–24. As many different theologies can provide different interpretations, chosen for this essay will be the theological works from the Sacra Pagina Series, Anchor Bible Passages, and Commentary on Matthew, Mark, Luke Volume 1 by John Calvin. The verse reads as: "Someone asked him, Lord, are only a few people going to be saved? He said to them, strive to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to." (International Bible Society, 725) The Sacra Pagina series presents a challenge to the commitment of the readers to Luke as the author of his...show more content... It is sought for by them, however they do not agonize for it, and therefore, they are shut out. The meaning of the passage that is more probable is that which refers this "seeking" to a time that is determined to be "too late;" to the time when the master has arose. They neglect religion in this life, and are involved in other things. At death, or the time of judgment, they will desire entrance; but it will be too late – the door will be shut; and because religion is not made the primary business of their life, therefore they cannot "then" enter in. In the Anchor Bible theology, verse 23 is considered problematic. "But it is too best explained as a question ascribed to an unnamed listener fashioned by Luke himself to introduce the traditional material that follows." (Fitzmeyer, 1021) The question of "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?" (International Bible Society, 725) is a question either of curiosity or impertinence, which the answer can bring profit to no man. The question which should be asked is, can I be saved, and if so how? Do your utmost to gain entrance through the strait and exert every power of body and soul.

  • 2. Argumentative Essay On Memorials Memorializing events in the history of the world for any purpose has it's positives as well as the negatives. Ranging from a memorial of a popular United States president from a loved one of a family, memorials have generally served as a purpose of remembrance from the past of said event. The purpose of the memorial is usually associated with a positive, uplifting feeling towards the deceased individual or past event. While this is more or less simply defining what memorials are for, what is the meaning behind them? What purpose do they serve besides the simplicity that they are? Important messages from a few varied sources will give a differing viewpoint on memorials from one to another. The first thought of memorials is the simple, generic...show more content... Memorials are meant to be striking in the sense that you will notice said memorial and donate some attention to it. The views of these see this attention capturing as exceedingly high for some purposes. Some memorials are outstanding in their craftsmanship and aesthetics. This makes people wonder what could be lurking inside the memorial, or what is near that memorial. What we've got here is a formula, striking looks of the monument is almost guaranteed to attract some form of attention. According to Source G, the analogy of tainting the planet with specific memorials are ridiculous, "I imagined taking a knife and cutting into the earth, opening it up, an initial violence and pain that in time would heal. The grass would grow back, but the initial cut would remain a pure flat surface in the earth with a polished, mirrored surface, much like the surface on a geode when you cut it and polish the edge. The need for the names to be on the memorial would become the memorial; there was no need to embellish the design further. The people and their names would allow everyone to respond and remember. The ideals of such nonsensical placements of the memorials are just irritable at the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. The Tudors Effect On History Essay Argument Persuasion Essay: The Tudors Effect on History "Nothing would be the same for any woman in this country again.... For everyone would know that if a wife such as Queen Katherine of England could be put aside for no reason, then any wife could be put aside." (Gregory, 2002, 276) The Tudor dynasty was a well–known royal family during England in the 1500's. The best known, and discussed ruler during this time was King Henry the VIII. He is known for his many wives, specifically six, and also his radical reformation of the English Church. King Henry VIII was very concerned with having a male heir to continue the dynasty. For that reason, he annulled his first marriage to Queen Catherine of Aragon. This annulment of his first marriage fuelled the creation of the English Church. Although Henry VIII may have acted in pure self–interest, this creation of the English Church would later lead to the Protestant Reformation. Students studying the Tudor Dynasty should appreciate the steps taken in religious history by King Henry VIII. King Henry 's desire for a male heir changed religious history. He was willing to annul his first marriage to ensure the continuation of the Tudor dynasty through a male heir. England wanted a strong alliance between England and Spain, leading to the marriage between Catherine of Aragon and King Henry VIII. Catherine had been married once before to Henry's brother, Arthur. Once she was widowed, she was then remarried to Henry. Henry was desperate for Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. World History Exam Analysis The 2017 Advanced Placement World History Exam is a high stakes exam that if passed students will receive college credit at various collegiate institutions. The foundation of the exam is intended to assess student's historical thinking skills and their ability to support a historical argument within six specific historical time periods. Students are required to analyze and interpret historical evidence and understand historical point of view, all the while, learning the world history content from10,000 BCE to present. Based on this foundation and the overall curriculum that the College Board requires, I have developed over the past seven years a solid classroom learning community that has demonstrated success on the national exam. However,...show more content... The first is the fifty five multiple choice timed section must be completed in fifty five minutes and the second is the short answer questions (SAQ) students must complete four questions but one will not be graded. Each element of the writing section is a vital component that will allow students to demonstrate their ability to apply the historical thinking skills to a specific world history standard within a specific time period. The structure of the SAQ short answer question I agree with as it requires students to demonstrate specific identification and analysis, however the aspect that I do not agree with is the simple fact that students are required to complete four out of four of the questions but only three will be graded. This brings me to my point of grading and pacing of the exam, particularly the stimulus based multiple–choice questions and the SAQ. If students are required to "directly address one or more of the thematic learning objectives and respond to a specific primary source, historical argument, nontextual source such as graph, picture or map data (College Board, 2016), through four questions and each having two components and then not be scored on one of the questions, why not just limit it to three SAQ questions and place the extra time within Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. The Importance Of Historical Writing Historical writing can be done in a number of ways. Based on the approach, historical writing can be very compelling or lack usefulness. In Stono, there are four different historical approaches to writing. All pertaining to the same event, the Stono slave rebellion. In New Social History, Hoefferle approaches history in an analytic, more scientific approach. Looking at the social economic factors, and using social science methods, to understand history. Hoefferle argues that race, and gender, shaped the social history. In The Power of History, Appleby argues that historical writing, historiographical analysis, is translating. She argues that historical writers are translators to the rest of society, of what history is most relevant. In When Fish Walk on Land, Eustace argues that since 1970, social history has broken the one synthesis mold. She argues there has to be a compilation, and balance, of synthesis, fragmentation, and a narrative, in historical writing. In Conflict and the "Slave Community," Forret argues the psychological and social implications of slavery. He argues that they were put in situations that led them to violence. In interpreting the Stono slave rebellion, Forret's argument contributes the most to understanding why, when, and how. Forret's argument aids in understanding the revolt, pertaining to psychological, and societal influences. In Anatomy of a Revolt, Peter H. Wood provides a classic interpretation of the revolt. He argues that Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Historical debates are the most common, and often most effective, tool for which new study and scholarly perspectives are forged. The topic of municipalization might not seem at first glance like a vessel for heated scholarly debate; however, once one peels back the curtain, several lines of argument arise. Municipalization, in the classical sense, is the effective bringing–into–the–fold of institutions and governments under the control of a larger body. This particular inquiry will focus on the Roman Empire, and one particular source of law that has sparked a wider discussion on the phenomena of municipalization in the entirety of the Roman sphere–of–influence, the Tabula Heracleensis. More detail will be given to the specific aspects of...show more content... The most pertinent aspects of Scott's study to the Tabula Heracleensis are censuses, standardization of weights and measurements, and the organization of trans–regional transportation. These things are all mentioned in some form in the Tabula, and thus we must try and apply Scott's theory to it. Scott essentially believes that states cannot possibly understand the intricacies of social phenomena and any attempt at large–scale standardization (or municipalization) is carried out through the coercive force of the state and will likely result in a negative social environment. This is shown best through the quote, "Because local standards of measurement were tied to practical needs, because they reflected particular cropping patterns and agricultural technology, because they varied with climate and ecology, because they were 'an attribute of power and an instrument of asserting class privilege,' and because they were 'at the center of bitter class struggle,' they represented a mind–boggling problem for statecraft." In a rather long–winded way, Scott is asserting that governments often cannot account for the social, economic, and cultural methodologies that go in to a particular aspect of daily life. This will become key once applied to the Tabula. As for Edward Bispham's work From Asculum to Actium: The Municipalization of Italy from the Social War to Augustus, Bispham has a different take on Municipalization this time specifically Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Essay on Historical Monuments Historical Monuments When thinking about architecture, many visual images come to mind. The works of many are seen everywhere we go, from the average home to a New York skyscraper. As these buildings are fairly common to most of us, we forget to incorporate the work of our prehistoric man that gave us the foundation of early architecture. Pre–historic monuments provide us with numerous amounts information about our past and how life existed in these prehistoric times. When comparing two great works from ancient times, we will determine the main reason for these buildings as well as rituals that were held and there excavations and discoveries. The passage–tomb at New Grange was constructed around 3200BC, according to archeologist. This ...show more content... There were also artifacts and findings that were discovered in the excavating period of New Grange. There were bones of three dogs along the chamber, which are uncertain if these dogs are from ancient times or just strays that got caught within the chamber. Approximately seven–hundred and fifty bones were found by archeologist mostly animal bones. Gold objects were also found, a gold chain and two gold rings, as well as, twenty–one roman coins, most in mint condition. The Great Stupa at Sanchi, India is another example of great monumental architecture. Ashoka Maurya (273 – 236 BC) was the most famous of the Buddhist rulers of India. Emperor Ashoka built a total of eight stupas on the hilltop of Sanchi including the Great Stupa. A great number of stupas and other religious structures were added over the succeeding centuries. The Great Stupa has a bell shaped hemispheric design made up of bricks. The interior of these stupas were mainly filled with ruble and relics of Buddha and his followers. These stupas became forgotten and started to decay with the decline of Buddhism. Yet, between 1912 and 1919 the stupas were carefully reconditioned and restored. The stupas included four gateways, or toranas, which are one of the finest arts of the Sanchi. The north torana consist of two rectangular posts which have four elephants with riders that supports three architraves. At the very top are two Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Statues In The History Of The United States Historical Monuments In the history of the United States, there was a conflict because of controversy over slavery and states' rights. This was the Civil War, when the southern states seceded from the United States because they believed they should keep slavery. The Civil War carried on from 1861 to 1865. In this time period, both sides had leaders that they looked up to such as the North having Ulysses S. Grant, and the South with Robert E. Lee. Usually with leaders people look up to they wish to memorialize them, thus the memorials of these people come to be. Now in the present there are issues involving such statues, groups of people that believe the monuments shouldn't be displayed are vandalizing and in some cases desecrating these statues because they feel they are racist. In my opinion, I believe the statues should stand as a reminder for history to not repeat itself. I feel that if the public does allow this, then where does it stop? Is there some way to compromise instead of removing them completely? These statues may have been put up to memorialize the leaders that were fighting for their right to own slaves, but back then they didn't know any other lifestyle. According to Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, even George Washington, one of the founding fathers, owned slaves, but he did emancipate them after his death. The memorials should stand as a reminder for us to not go back to that way of life, that every human is made equally, that we all bleed red. People Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Historical Argument Analysis Have you noticed a trend with the historical arguments? We're continuously on opposing sides each week, however, this is a good thing. The discussions are much more interesting when you have to research to make your claim stronger. Additionally, I respect and appreciate reading your perspective and feelings. Without further ado, I disagree with your argument for the following reasons. Critics have argued that Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb was a barbaric act that brought negative long–term consequences to the United States. Additionally, some military analysts insist that Japan had been weak, ergo the bombings were unnecessary. Therefore, the American government was accused of racism on the grounds that nuclear weapons would never Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 11. Argumentative Essay On The Great Depression Sleepless nights, drowning debt, suicide attempts, and the inevitable fall towards unemployment. These are the things that not only make up but almost define the title "The Great Depression." The Great Depression was a collapsing disaster. One after another, the government along with society fell to their knees. Stock markets crashed leaving most Americans bankrupt and on their own to support themselves and their families off of loose change. Jobs were as rare as ever, people went unemployed left and right. People were left to fend for themselves on the streets with no roof over their heads. This along with everything else, took a tremendous, emotional toll on society. Some even saw no other options than ending their lives. The Great Depression had an emotion drenching and ground breaking effect on the generation to go through it. One of the first things that led to a crashing course of events was the people financial tragedies. According to one person who had lived through that time, "We weren't hungry but we were penniless" (Hastings). The use of the word "penniless" really represented how people had zero money. This was not the type of poverty where society was not able to afford self wants. This was the type of poverty that people could barely afford their own needs and necessities. It's very important how stressed this topic must be. Another quote says "With no dependable income we cut back on everything possible." (Hastings). That means even the simplest things such as toothpaste and towels. This time period,1930s, was the greatest stock market crash. Stock markets crashed simply because of many economic failures, and when this happened many people were left with nothing. "Most Americans, of course, owned no stocks at all, so they were not in danger of going bankrupt overnight" (Hayes). This quote from the text was brought up to show how mostAmericans did not even own stocks because it was a perfectly common thing for someone to end up with nothing in less than 24 hours, "overnight." Althoug h, stocks were not the only reason people had no money. Credit and banks failing had a huge part in that as well. "Banks stopped lending money.

  • 12. Argumentative Essay On Pearl Harbor December 7th, 1941, was the day 2,403 Americans lost their lives and 1,200 wounded during the Japanese air raid, on Pearl Harbor. On this day, the US Navy lost almost the entire Pacific Fleet in the harbor. After the attack, all the ships were either sunk or severally damaged minus the aircraft carriers. The aircraft carriers luckily were still at sea. The total number of military personnel killed was 2,335, including 2,008 navy personnel, 109 marines, and 218 army. Added to this were 68 civilians, making the total 2403 people dead. 1,177 men alone were from the USS Arizona. The attack on Pearl Harbor is something that is taught in grade school history. However, if it is being taught correctly that's a different story. As a child, we believe everything that the teacher taught us even if it was a lie. The story of Pearl Harbor is a horrific event that has been revealing more information throughout the years. What was taught in school was Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack by the Japanese. That the Japanese managed to fly into US Airspace and destroy our ships and planes for no reason. As we research more about this particular topic, we discover that the United States was doing a really good job keeping secrets. For example, the Japanese has a reason to attack the US. The United States along with our allies Britain and Dutch, provoked the Japanese to attack. In 1937 Japan declared war on China which aggravated the US. The US and its Allies formed a plan and cut off the oil supply for the Japanese military. No oil, meant no fuel for the war. By the US making the strategic plan to cut of the oil supply, left the Japanese finding oil elsewhere. So, they planned to invade into the Philippines and the Malaya territories. By moving into these locations with the hopes of finding a steady source of natural resources such as oil and rubber. In order to do so, the Japanese empire had to cripple the US military base that was 5,276 miles way. After months of planning, the Japanese Empire put their attack in motion. After many different red flag scenarios, the Japanese Bombers still managed to get the upper hand on us. With all of the red flags that's presented hours, days, weeks before the attack why was the Pacific not Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Argumentative Essay On The Salem Witch Trials The Salem Witch Trials The largest outbreak of witchcraft in America took place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. A group of girls, including the Parris's Indian slave Tituba, gathered in the Salem village and were attempting to see the future by decoding "messages". Shortly after this gathering the girls started showing signs of the possessed (pg. 73). To this day people all over America are still amazed with the events that took place in this time. But why is that? The fear of the village fell heavily onto the judicial system, which later made people focus on the proper separation of government and religious beliefs. Mass hysteria broke out amongst the village and many people were being accused, therefore leading to many innocent deaths. Although there could be many theories as to the reason the witch trials in Salem began, there are two points of view that are very commonly shared amongst people. Some believe that the Salem witch trials were women unconsciously searching for power, whereas others believe it was an encephalitis epidemic. In fact, Lyle Koehler believes that the women of Salem were unconsciously seeking power in the patriarch world that they lived in. There indeed was a pattern to those being convicted of witch craft in Salem. Three–fourths of the people accused were female, of the 56 men accused, half were related to the accused women (pg. 74). To Kholer this just seems too specific to be an encephalitis epidemic. The women of Salem used the accusations Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 14. World War 2 : Argumentative Essay World War 2 Argumentative Essay World War 2 was a massive war which engulfed the whole world from 1939– 1935. There were 2 different sides in the war. These two sides were the Allies and the axis. At the start of the war, the Allies consisted of Great Britain and all of its colonies (such as Australia) and France. The Axis consisted of Germany, Italy, Japan and the Soviet Union. At the start of the war theaxis powers were dominating. Germany used "Blitzkrieg" (Lighting war) tactics very successfully and overran many countries using it. But some major events occurred and turned the tide of the war to the favour of the Allies. However two of these major events are most often talked about to be the reason that the axis powers eventually lost. One of these events includes the Japanese attack on pearl harbour. This brought America into the war and onto the side of the Allies. The other of the two events was instigated by Germany itself. Germany decided to attack one of their allies. This ally was the Soviet Union. There is often a lot of debate about which of these events is greatest, that is to have had the biggest effect in the war. So the question has to be asked, was it the US entrance into the war that made the defeat of Germany inevitable, or it caused by the German attack of the Soviet Union. In my opinion it was not the US entrance to the war, but the German invasion of the Soviet Union that made the ultimate defeat of Germany inevitable.

Persuasive Essay On Cyber Security Increased Acts of Cyber Terrorism Call into Question its Prevention With the widespread use of technology becoming more prominent, acts of cyber terrorism pose an increased threat to safety. Cyber terrorists exploit the internet and its users to commit acts that can be increasingly detrimental to their targets. Some of the terrorist activities include large scale corruption of computer networks by using tools like computer viruses. Certain individuals even have the ability of creating severe damage to government systems, national security systems and even hospital servers. Most of the technology made today only has intentions of making life easier for people. However, skilled users can manipulate the cyber world for negative intentions. Staying informed when it comes to cyber terrorism and cybercrime is important to do because of the increased reliance on technology in society. Steps to improve cyber security before an attack ensures the safety of sensitive information. The topic of cyber security and cyber warfare are interesting topics to keep up to date with. Understanding these topics can be beneficial to my dream of being in the FBI, ensuring the safety of others by working to prevent acts of cyberterrorism. 1. Cybercrime 2. Cyberwarfare 3. Cyberterrorism 4. Cyber Security While doing some of my research, I chose to use Computer Source as my database. The main subject of the database was trends in technology. It allowed me to search trends from any time which was particularly helpful for my topic. The type of search that can be completed using this database is Boolean searching. This type of searching style came in handy because the information I was searching for involved the cyber world, so it made it easier to differentiate which aspect of the cyber world I was researching. For example, differentiating between Cyber Terrorism and Terrorism or Cyber Warfare. Computer Source lets its users search by publication date rather than by scholarship level.

  • 16. Argumentative Essay On The American Revolution The American Revolutionary War in 1755 spouted from a conflict between the British government and British people living in the then 13 American colonies. The crown and his legislature passed tax measures, which the people of the thirteen American colonies fiercely opposed. American leaders took action against taxes because the government that created the laws offered no representation for those being taxed which is where taxation without any representation stems from. The crown only allowed upper–class men vote in England and most elections within American colonies, although the American voting class weren't able to express on the ballots their views of the parliament.

  • 17. Argumentative Essay On The Cold War Thesis: With the overhanging threat of nuclear war looming over the entire world, a group of brave heroes emerged. As fear began to become reality, an unsuspecting group of cardiologists made it their mission to "clog the arteries of support for nuclear weaponry until the heart of the atomic arms race stopped beating." Bernard Lown and Yevgeny Chazov founded the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War(IPPNW). The IPPNW, a group of physicians determined to nuclear warfare, successfully helped influence peace treaties, subsequently ending the Cold War. While their work was only intended to address the prevailing nuclear crisis, they inadvertently laid the framework for a nuclear–free future. Cold War(1947–1991) Causes of the War Snead, David L.

  • 18. Arguments For The American Revolution The American economy has a storied history for its relatively short existence. The British ruled America until the country was recognized as independent in 1776. There has been much debate over what was the cause of the American Revolution, but many hypothesize the catalyst to be one of Britain's aggressive taxation policies, consequentially, leaving the colonists with an incentive to revolt. In this paper, I will summarize Reid's article, I will then analyze the underlying theories that Reid uses in making his arguments and show my positions on the incentives that he puts forward. I will also take a closer look at his model of the political economy and critique its usefulness and applicability to everyday circumstances as well as its unique interaction with the topic of the American Revolution. Reid's article sets out to find an explanation for the American Revolution; specifically, an economic one. As from his title he is attempting to analyze whether there was an economic burden affecting the American colonies at the time that would incentivize them to move away from the British government. He addresses the normal supply and demand model that is ubiquitous in most economic theory. He relates it to the British rule of the period and argues that this type of model does not adequately model the human factor of political activity that was likely a very large factor in the American Revolution.

For Americans the 9/11 memorial puts us in the gravity and it gives us the impact of what that disaster did but, it also shows a sense of beauty with how the water falls into the spot where once stood a tall and powerful building. Monuments, have the aura that has a sense of empathy and shows more emotion than words ever could, the Holocaust museum gives a solid reminder of what genocide really is. Monuments and memorials should be based on the size location and what it is actually standing for it should be for someone who has been influential or it should be something of war or tragedy. We as Americans don't pay attention to local cemeteries but when they see the Arlington cemetery or Vietnam memorial or even the WWII memorial people understand what death is really like and are more appreciative of those people who fought for the United States. Monuments and Memorials are not to remember those who fought for slavery, who have committed genocide, or any acts of treason and terrorism there should be no reason to make a statue that symbolizes something that a culture and a nation does not stand for anymore. Therefore, a Monument should consider the location, size, and why the monument is built along with the emotional aura that goes along with it. Monuments should be be put in a location where it is a hub or if the person or event was in fact there. The memorial was built Get more content on HelpWriting.net
