...Before the colonies like Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, “the only push factor from the North was the lack of religious tolerance” (Martin 45). Hansen and Taylor, on the other hand, believe that the North would have become more populated even if the permissive colonies weren’t established (Hansen “Atlantic Migration” 47; Hansen “Immigrant” 15; Taylor 180). In their opinion, most people weren’t emigrating Europe for religious reasons but instead economic or social reasons. Therefore, the stable economy, similar climate, and minimal population of undesirables were the pull factors that attracted immigrants to New England instead of the Chesapeake colonies (Hansen “Immigrant” 16; Taylor...

...for the colonialist was to ensure that they have located a site that was not near the coasts to ensure an avoidance of Spanish warships, Virginia Council's primary concern. The relationship with Powhatan Indians were a major worry of the England Settlers. Because of the environmental issues at Jamestown, the English settlers had to establish their relations with native Powhatan Indians. Moreover, there were also some Indians who were hospitable to the first settlers, others were very hostile and would discharge them with arrows. After constructing rudimentary fort as well as witnessing Indian attacks, the white settlers realized that they were vulnerable. Most of the settlers also became weak from sickness. Purpose of the sail to the “New World” The main purpose of their journey to Jamestown was to find silver and gold. The white settlers, mostly gentlemen and upper class who would know how to save their own lives, were also looking for other economic opportunities including iron ore, wood products, as well as copper....

My chosen organization is Smith Youth Center: an after school facility located in Denver. I will do an evaluation on Mr. John Smith, who was the site director.

...By John D. Mueller Colloquium on the American Founding Amherst University, October 19, 2002 Winston Churchill is supposed to have said that “the Americans can be relied upon to do the right thing, after exhausting the alternatives.” I hold a similar tempered optimism about the economics profession, with which have been associated by occupation for more than 20 years. Historically, economic theory originated in the happy union of Athens and Jerusalem known as “the natural law,” and has always returned to the sanity of its roots—after exhausting the alternatives. As I read its history, economic theory has nearly completed its last great detour away from sanity, and is rapidly running out of alternatives to a renewal of “natural-law economics.” If such a renewal occurs, it won’t be because economists have decided to sit down and learn from philosophers (or, God forbid, theologians)—nothing could be farther from their minds—but for the same reason as the last seismic shift in economics, which began in the 1870s: a growing number of economists are finding the current state of economic theory a professional embarrassment. Of course, I may be underestimating the average economist’s threshold of embarrassment. But let me explain the nature of that * John D. Mueller is Associate Scholar of the Ethics and Public Policy Center and president of LBMC LLC, a financial-markets forecasting firm. For most of the 1980s he was Economic Counsel to the House Republican Conference...

Since Samuel Smiles invented an industry with his 1859 book Self-Help, it has been a project of the capitalist age to abolish the idea of luck. Smiles, who outsold Charles Darwin and John Stuart Mill that year, opened with a line that said it all: "Heaven helps those who help themselves." The dogmas of self-help have remained religiously rigid. Since 2006, more than 21...

...19th Century Art Education, Industrial Art or Fine Art? Varick Taylor East Carolina University MAED Art 6800 History and Philosophy of Art Education Abstract As an art educator in the today’s public school system, I feel that it is my responsibility to introduce and allow my students to explore the arts from the past and the present. I want them to learn a variety of art making techniques and art history. I also want to prepare them for future by giving them exposure to possible career choices that utilizes the arts. Therefore I feel it is important that my art classes allow students to be exposed to both the fine arts and design fields of the 21st century. 21st century technology like 19th century industrialization has influenced art education methods. The use of technology in classes is increasing each year. We are using design software to create both designs and fine art assignments on computers. In the 19th century, industrialization was one of the most important reasons why art became a part of public school education. Government leaders and the industry wanted America to able to compete with the superior European imports. As a result they felt that requiring drawing as a subject in public schools would help the U.S. in competing with Europe and balance trade. Knowing how much they wanted America to produce better products, I was puzzled when the Massacusetts did not model its art education after the France, whom was considered the best in producing superior product...

...Introduction The Christian World View used to be universal to the idea that Jesus was the only way to salvation but this has been under attack by those who would believe that there are many ways to be saved, they would be known as Pluralist. Ronald Nash confronts these claims and defends the orthodox Christian beliefs in his book “Is Jesus the only Savior?” An analysis of the first six chapters of the book “Is Jesus the only Savior?” by Ronald Nash will be given by the author in two parts, the first will analysis the arguments given by Nash on the topic of Religious Pluralism, and the second part will be a personal conclusion on the topic. Ronald Nash served as a professor for over forty years in the areas of theology, apologetics, ethics, world view and history. Nash had a doctorate in Philosophy with a Christian world view. Book Analysis In the first six chapters of the book “Is Jesus the only Savior?” Nash defends Christian Exclusivism and argues against “Religious Pluralism” specifically John Hicks modern view on the topic. Nash in his logical arguments never strays away from fundamental biblical foundations and presents a clear and logical defense of his view and rebuttal towards Hicks and Religious Pluralism on a whole. Nash starts the book with a very clear and concise definition for Christian Exclusivism, “Christian exclusivism can be defined as a belief that (1) Jesus is the only Savior and (2) explicit faith in Jesus is necessary for salvation.” As Nash argues against...

...countries citizens to establish a new colony for that country without the use of military involvement. British settlement of North America is a perfect example of colonialism. The Lost Colony of Roanoke was England’sfirst attempt of colonialism in 1590, but it failed because of the indigenous people.In 1607 a British company sent another colony to North America and established the first successful British colony named Jamestown. English colonization was a very interesting idea that the empire had set up to encourage settling the New World. The charter system in North America allowed companies and individuals to organize their own colonies as long as the crown received a portion of the profits. Jamestown was started by the London Company from England, a joint stock enterprise created to find gold and other riches in The America’s. The settlement was almost doomed from the beginning, because the London Company hadn’t picked skilled pioneering type men. In the first 9 months only 38 men were left alive out of 104. They starved to death even with the surrounding forest and rivers full of game. The London Company reluctantly placed John Smith in charge, and through his dictatorship commanded the settlers to work, or starve. He divided the settlers into labor gangs to build Jamestown. The Powhatan Indians were the indigenous people in the Virginia territory. The Powhatan Indians were recklessly courageous, war like, and very suspicious of strangers. John Smith was able to negotiate an...

...This dissertation will discuss Angela Merkel’s Leadership style and ethics during the Euro crisis. It will also compare Angela Merkel’s leadership style to servant leadership style. It will also describe how servant leadership may or may not change the outcomes of the Euro crisis. In the closure of the dissertation, I will discuss my own leadership philosophy. Angela Merkel Angela Merkel is the Chancellor of Germany. Last fall, she was elected to her third term as chancellor of Germany, making her one of the only two European Union leaders that survived the economic crisis (The Guardian, 2013). Angela Merkel was named by Forbes in 2014 as the most powerful women in the world (Forbes, 2014). Angela Merkel’s leadership style is pragmatic and methodical (The Guardian, 2013). Anne Applebaum (2013) states “She reigns. She doesn’t tell people what to do, she doesn’t give orders, and she isn’t bossy or pushy. She doesn’t throw Germany’s weight around or make demands. She simply sets parameters, and then lets everybody else make ‘choices’ themselves.” Merkel’s leadership style is prudent, democratic, and modest. Merkel prefers discussion, deliberation and consensus (Zeeb, 2013). The Germans call her “Mutti” (mummy), because she understands what her country wants and makes sure her country gets it (Zeeb, 2013 & The Guardian, 2013). Angela Merkel is a no nonsense leader that is well respected. Merkel and the Euro Debt Crisis The European sovereign debt crisis...

...FEEL When and How Attitudes Guide Behavior RUSSELL H. FAZIO DAVID R. ROSKOS-EWOLDSEN The Ohio State University University of Alabama C onsider each of the following statements. Do you believe the statement to be true or false? 1. College students who disapprove of cheating do not cheat on tests; it is only the students who view cheating as acceptable who do cheat. 2. When segregation was still legal, hotel and restaurant owners with racial stereotypes toward Chinese people would not serve them food or allow them to stay at their establishments. 3. How well people like their jobs is predictive of people’s job attendance. Those who like their jobs are less likely to miss a day of work. 4. During the 1970s, people who felt that the energy crisis was a significant problem used less energy than did those who did not really believe that there was a crisis. 5. Regardless of whether an employer makes a snap judgment or deliberates extensively about a hiring decision, if the employer has a negative attitude toward working women, a female candidate will not be hired. All of these commonsense statements assume that people’s attitudes influence their actions and decisions. In fact, as we will see in this chapter, none of these five statements is correct. The basic finding of decades of research is that sometimes people act in accordance with their attitudes, and other times they act in ways that are quite inconsistent with their attitudes. In this chapter, we...

...Media in Mexican National Identity: The use of Mexican national symbol “La Virgen de Guadalupe” to unite the country. Nowadays, Mexico is facing one of its hardest periods of all times. As the drug war is taking control over the whole country, other major problems such as insecurity, unemployment and poverty are taking part of Mexicans lifestyle. This had lead to a series of internal problems that have caused the population to distrust the government and try to find a solution to all these problems from a different source: faith. Mexico’s national identity has always been recognized as being one of the strongest and most distinguished identities in the world, with a united and rich culture, full of beliefs, memories, history and symbols; Mexican culture was something Mexicans always felt very proud about. But with such problems affecting the country, Mexico needs more than ever maintain this feeling of feeling proud about being Mexicans, to start being positive about things getting better and continue improving in order grow and share their culture they are very proud about. The media is always playing an important role in Mexican’s lifestyle. In this case, we choose to make the example of Mexican Television and how it has played an important role reinforcing national identity with a known Mexican symbol “ The Virgin of Guadalupe”, a symbol that is full of history and which has united Mexicans before. We will analyze the way that the media in Mexico has taken this religious...

...Corporation Ethics The study of ethics within corporations is a study of applied ethics that examine moral and ethical dilemmas, and ethical principles that come up in the business world. It is an important subject in today’s business world; with the scandals that are in the business news around the world. It is crucial that business organizations question their principles in every area, from product testing, customer service, to working in the global economy. The list of corruption cases in the world are growing in number. It is becoming a problem that governments across the globe have to face. Greed is usually the driving force in corruption around the world regardless of the industry. “To be really greedy, a person has to not just want and acquire a lot of material wealth. He (or she) needs to come by it less than honestly, and enjoy stacking it up in the face of the far less fortunate. He has to put his own desire for stuff above the needs and legitimate concerns of those around him. In the business world, that often means cheating. Madoff, for example, didn't just get rich, he got rich by faking an entire investment enterprise and doing it at the expense of decent charities and people who had trusted him with their life savings. All that just served to make him the most-hated guy of ... well, of February. By March, all that populist anger had turned to the AIG bonus boys.
