Before the Industrial Revolution, spinning and weaving were done at home for the family itself. The Jenny, after upgrades from countless inventors, changed the course of the economy. In the southern states the surplus of cotton proved beneficial; however, the seeds could not be removed from the cotton quickly enough for the Jenny. Inventor Eli Whitney created the cotton gin that made it possible to remove seeds from cotton about 60 times faster. This invention further boosted the boom in industry. The scholarly journal Factor Endowments, Inequality, and Paths of Development among New World Economies, does an excellent job illustrating industrialization. Transportation was expanded, essentially giving the nation the ability to move goods effectively if needed. The Cumberland Road was one of which that was the first national roads.

...Homer ca. 8th century BC Homer is best known for the two epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey. The Iliad is generally considered the oldest work of Western literature. Even the Greeks themselves recognized Homer for his influence and did not consider themselves educated unless they had read his works. It’s disputed whether Homer actually is a historic person. Absolutely nothing is known about him or his life and some scholars believe that the Iliad and the Odyssey are the works of multiple authors rather than just one. No matter who wrote them, both the Iliad and the Odyssey have had a huge influence on literature. In fact, even Shakespeare based one of his plays on the Iliad. Sophocles ca. 496 – 406 BC Sophocles was a tragedian who wrote 123 plays during his life. Only seven have survived in entity, but they include classics such as Antigone, Oedipus the King and Electra. He developed theater by adding a third actor, reducing the importance of the chorus, and introducing scenography. Sophocles also abolished the traditional trilogic form of tragedies and made each play complete in itself – this added dramatic value to the plays. Herodotus ca. 484 – 425 BC Herodotus is considered the father of history in Western culture. He approached history as a science by collecting his material systematically and testing its accuracy. Herodotus was also a gifted narrator. The word history itself comes from Herodotus’ book The Histories, which means “inquiries” in Greek....

...Assignment 1.2: Industrialization after the Civil War Krystina Cochran Strayer University 8/1/2014 After the Civil War, America was pushed into the Industrial Revolution. America’s society evolved with an increase in minorities being forced into the factories and to live in designated areas, the economy grew with the new technology, and World War I was fought. The groups of minorities were anyone considered not white or male. So this left a big group of people that were left to deal with very cruel and unfair treatment. Many of the businesses wanted white males, due to this time many owners were white. So there was still a stigmatism that white males were superior to any race or gender. The industrialization was a big blow to the agricultural life that many minorities knew. These people were forced into factories with very little pay, long hours, and very dangerous conditions. Many people moved to the areas were factories were built. Overcrowding became a real problem in the cities. Employers starting building tenements for their workers to live and was in walking distance to work. These buildings were very poor and dangerously built. Some were constructed out of single family homes. Thin walls were put up to make single rooms throughout the building. Many did not even have a window in their room. These rooms housed entire families. During this time inventions and technologies really started booming. With each invention lead to another invention or helped businesses...

...Wal-Mart Lack of compassion Tip of the iceberg can describe the story below. Wal-Mart is company No. 1 in the world. It has the most revenue over any other company ($421 Billion). But its riches equal its controversies. This story is probably the most apt at describing the unethical treatment of its workers, because of the sheer senselessness of it. In 2000, a collision with a semi-trailer left 52-year-old Deborah Shank with permanent brain damage and in a wheelchair. Her husband and three sons were fortunate for a $700,000 accident settlement from the trucking company. After legal costs and other expenses, the remaining $417,000 was put in a special trust to care for Mrs. Shank. However, six years later the providers of Mrs. Shank’s health plan, Wal-Mart, sued the Shanks for the $470,000 it had spent on her medical care. Wal-Mart was fully entitled to the money; in the fine print of Mrs. Shank’s employment contract it said that money won in damages after an accident belonged to Wal-Mart. A federal judge had to rule in favor of Wal-Mart, and the family of Mrs. Shank had to rely on Medicaid and social-security payments for her round-the-clock care. Wal-Mart may be reversing the decision after public outcry. However this case pinpoints Wal-Mart’s often criticized treatment of employees as a commodity and its sometimes inhuman business ethics. 9 Trafigura Dumping Toxic waste on the Ivory Coast and gagging the media Earlier in the year, there was media frenzy in the...

...The Civil War More Americans died during the Civil War from 1861-1865 than in any other war, ever. While these dates may define the period of war action, in fact the Civil War was the result of a long, history of complex issues of such things as Constitutional interpretation, economics, and the ethics of slavery. Below are brief sketches of only a few of the memorable names from that era of U.S. history. Also online at the Smithsonian is a collection of Civil War photographs by Mathew Brady.

Transfer from the National Gallery of Art; gift of Andew W. Mellon, 1942 Henry Clay was one of the most influential congressmen of the early 1800s, with a political career that spanned nearly fifty years. Born in the midst of the American Revolution, he devoted his professional energy to the preservation of the union of the states in the stormy years preceding the Civil War. To that end, he crafted several key compromises between the North and the South, for which he became known as "The Great Pacificator." But even his legendary statesmanship could not keep war from erupting nine years after his death. Differing interpretations of the Constitution were at the heart of the Civil War. Clay and other supporters of the Union insisted that states were subject to federal authority, while others, most notably...

Figure 1 –"V-J Day, Times Square, 1945", a.k.a. "The Kiss" “Man on the Moon, Apollo 11, 1969” "Tiananmen Square, China, 1989" “9/11 Attacks, New York City, 2001” All of these iconic images from history would be nothing but memories without the invention of photography. The power of photography has allowed us to see distant places, events before our lifetime, people from foreign lands and tragedies including war; all through the view of a lens. In just under 200 years, photography has transformed the world we live in enabling us to see not only beyond the boundaries of time and location but also beyond the range of human vision through macro, infrared and high-speed photography.
