...Perfection Era Paper Christopher Candelas HIS/215 January 30, 2011 Instructor Hansen Perfection Era Paper The early stages of the 19th century marked various significant events in the United States that eventually became recognized as the Perfection Era. During the beginning years of the Perfection Era changes essential to minorities and women within American society as well as minority idealism began to take on a diverse shape. Minorities and women sought after change and a new type of role in society, but more than that these individuals encouraged a new public persona as well as the way they would view themselves. However, insert religion! The previous period prior to thoughts of social change came in the form of a supported sense of intellectual knowledge, in which the faith in logical religions became a vast realization, and eventually marked the separation of power between government and church. The rush for establishment of major religions quickly began to change in regard to the events that took place and the reformation during the Great Awakening. The elimination of Calvinism or simply being pre-ordained began to spread throughout the country thus, creating the exploration of new sets of values and the expansion of Puritanical views or being Protestant. The idealism resulting from this sense of overly viewed religious behavior ultimately conveyed a greater comprehension of Christianity in its entirety or merely as it is viewed and experienced today by...

...ASSIGNMENT: PERFECTION ERA PAPER Assignment: Perfection Era Paper The Perfection Era Colonial expansion spread colonists both west- and southward, causing many colonists to settle far from the churches that had been established in the north. New communities and churches were being built and many of the ideals of the Enlightenment were being questioned. The ideals of the Great Awakening and those who were members of this movement believed in the desire to create a perfect, equalitarian society, and the Perfection Era held along side those beliefs. The Second Great Awakening began with the evangelical Protestant church, including Congregational, Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist, becoming the dominant form of Christianity (Davidson, Gienapp, Heyrman, Lytle, and Stoff, 2006). Evangelicalism emphasized each person’s ability to create his or her salvation and by catering to the masses. Along with Charles Finney’s (a minister) optimistic doctrine of perfectionism, the revivals of the evangelicals reinforced the American belief in democracy and society. This belief also questioned the long held belief that African Americans as well as women were second class citizens, and throughout several church communities, women and African Americans were allowed to speak, preach and vote in church and on matters of the church (Davidson, Gienapp, et al, 2006). The Perfection Era brought about many changes for women and slaves. The role women played in the Awakening...

...Perfection Era Paper September 4, 2011 His 115 U.S. History to 1865 Erica J. Moore 1. The Perfection Era, which occurred during the early 19th century in the United States, marked an important change in the way that minorities viewed themselves within their society. The period beforehand was marked by Deism, the belief that God was a "remote being who created the universe but stopped being involved in it," a strong separation of church and government, and an overall belief in "rational religions" that supported the intellectual knowledge of that time (Dave, 2009). The tides quickly began to change during the first Great Awakening. Ideas began to spread in regards being non-Calvinistic, or pre-ordained, which lead to the expansion of Protestantism from simply being Puritanical or Unitarian (Matthet, 2006). As a result, a majority of Americans had a greater understanding of Christianity as current Americans experience it today (Matthet, 2006). Also, there was a greater concern for ensuring that Native Americans and black slaves had an understanding of Christianity, and they were ministered to as a result (Matthet, 2006). While the first Great Awakening had no significant effect on women, the foundations were being set for women to make a momentous movement towards gaining more rights within United States society. The Perfection Era was characterized by the expansion of the lifestyles of women, who at that time were housewives (Priebe, 2009). Women began to expand...

...the recent years, become a key issue of debates in the world of research and inventions. It is usual that the level of perfection committed to any given research, is in most cases, is bent towards the achievement of the research’s primary goals. Based on the fact that human beings possess varied intellectual capabilities, have constructive, reflective and inquisitive minds, and are prone to the commission of errors, it is certain that nothing can be done to perfection. In spite of the fact that many discoveries, developments and inventions seem to be perfect, research has always proved that they can be improved upon. In the light of these lines, I do agree with Griffith on the statement that there is no hope of doing perfect research. The definition of the term research by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is a devoted and systematic study, investigation or examination of previously done work, with an aim of establishing or developing new inventions or conclusions. The term may also be used to imply to the revision of already existing laws, theories or experiments with a target of discovering new facts and findings. This makes the hope of doing perfect research unfeasible. The various developments and transformations, which the world has gone through since the dawn of civilization, satisfy the statement that there is no hope in doing perfect research. In this paper, I am going to support my line of reasoning by referring to two research examples. The marked improvements and developments...

...could have made the difference between survival and death. She has very wide hips which support a connection to childbearing and delineated genitals which suggests that she is very fertile. Barbie was first inspired by a pin-up doll named Lilli, intended for German men in World War II as an object of amusement. According to M.G. Lord, author of Forever Barbie, “Barbie and Lilli symbolize the link between the Old World and the New” (Lord 9). However, Ruth Handler’s main influence for success was through the observation of her daughter Barbara playing with paper dolls. As she was watching her daughter, she noticed that pretend play was a very important part of the maturation of young females. Handler was determined to make the two dimensional paper doll a three-dimensional fashion sensation. From then on, women had a preconceived notion of what a female is supposed to look like, and what men want in a woman. In the Paleolithic era female figurines...

...Essay Question One The beliefs about death had evolved greatly over the periods of time. Whether it may have been the First humans, the Sumerians, the Ancient Americans, Jewish, Christian, or any religion in between, each era was a bit different. The comparison and contrast to one another have different aspects to how they perceive the afterlife or what happens before and after death. As time passed, many different religious faiths existed. How each transpired was solely based on the era. In ancient times, there were a variety of religious faiths in existence. However, there were three that stood out from the rest. The first was the Mesopotamian faith (early ancient times), which was of great importance within Mesopotamian culture. For Mesopotamians, the gods were living realities who affected all aspects of life. The center of each Mesopotamian community was the temple complex, which consisted of ziggurat with a temple at the top. It was here that the main god or goddess, in the form of a statue, resided. It would be here that all religious ceremonies took place. This temple complex would dominate both individual and commercial life, thus demonstrating the close relationship between religion and culture within Mesopotamia and the belief that there was an afterlife of immortality. The second was the Egyptian faith. Like the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians held their faith in high regard. They had a vast number of gods, all of which were associated with heavenly...

..."The pursuit of beauty and of its attendant features, fashion and dress, has more than any other factor bound together women of different classes, regions, and ethnic groups and constituted a key element in women's separate experience of life."-Lois W. Banner. The world lives in a generation where the image that society places upon women is crucial. The image of perfection is based on the coke bottle appearance and gorgeous plastic face. Women already feel the need to gain as much power as they can due to the lack of gender equality. Body image is very hard to ignore in this barbaric and self indulgent culture. An easy solution to fulfill the empowerment thrive, is to compete in beauty pageants. Our society teaches both women, those who compete and those who do not, that being tenaciously empowered is by looking good and appealing to the eye of the human male. The purpose of this paper is to explore the objectification of women in general; with an emphasis on beauty pageants and how the media interpretation of beauty has changed the woman's body image. Finding an exact definition of beauty is highly impossible, considering beauty is said to be have seen in the eye of the beholder. Unfortunately, in this metaphoric glass fish bowl life style; media, men, art, and fashion are the foremost most important holder. As customs, traditions and American habits expand, so does the true meaning of the word beauty. According to webster dictionary, beauty is defined as the quality or aggregate...

...Shakespeare is known for mastery of the literary arts. From his phenomenal acts in Romeo and Juliet to the tales of The Tempest, he has put pen to paper and conjured up many of the world's most renowned plays. His work in Macbeth, however, sets it apart from the rest. The way Shakespeare uses persuasion in this work, particularly in Act 1 Scene 7, demonstrates the author’s knowledge of the English language. Although Macbeth is the man of the house, his wife is still able to persuade him into going through with killing Duncan. In this scene, we see a conversation between Macbeth and his wife over whether or not MAcbeth should go through with killing Duncan to gain the crown and the title of king. While Macbeth is still hesitant about the whole dilema, Macbeth’s wife is eager for him...

...Rather than leave his life story to biographers and historians, Benjamin Franklin, ever the artisan, took the raw material of his recollections and from them carefully shaped the myth that has come to represent his life. (Isaacson 2) His use of thirteen virtues (Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Chastity and Humility) by which one could improve one’s life became an integral part of his image. In his Autobiography, he claims to desire to “acquire the habitude (emphasis original) of all these virtues…” (Franklin 65) Yet it is only a few pages later when he admits having failed, adding “on the whole, tho’ I never arrived at the perfection I had been so ambitious of obtaining, but fell far short of it, yet I was, by the endeavour, a better and happier man than I otherwise should have been if I had not attempted it…” (Franklin 70) Ironically, Franklin has established a program that even by his own standards is impossible to complete, while still critical to the development and long-term success of the participant. This program of unreachable self improvement goals became foundational to the Franklin Myth....

...“nothing has rocked the young field of the supply chain management like the emergence of the Internet”. It indeed rocked, by lowering costs, minimizing the response time, creating new business models, improving logistics abilities and overall improving the service offered to the customer. Gribbins et al. (n.d.) analyzed in their paper how e-business impacted P & G, a major player in the consumer goods industry. From P & G’s e-business and internet “embrace” we can clearly see the impact and results this strategic initiative has on an organization. A few examples of what they have developed: 1. E-stores (e-commerce) platforms, where customers can do purchases online; this approach have brought the organization direct contact with the customer and a global reach and expansion; 2. Supply Chain Information Collection Initiatives which, by sharing effectively information, efficiency is increased, inventory management is kept under control, hence costs are reduced; 3. Transora online B2B procurement e-stores which reduces the customer’s ordering time and purchasing costs and provided a good flow of inventory management, which makes a close to perfection integrated supply chain for all parties involved; 4. Web-based knowledge data bases, to help reduce product development time by creating a bridge between employees and serve, as well, as an online internal community. The above 4 points gave as an example from P & G’s e-business and internet integration, are just a few of e-business...

...Final Philosophy Paper. The end of an Era. Nietzsche and morals, the two are thoroughly intertwined in philosophical concepts, and regardless of whether or not you agree with Mr. Friedrich, he will undoubtedly make you think. Nietzsche isn’t critical of morality as a whole; in fact he’s welcoming to the concept of a higher morality, which would in turn entertain the lives of higher men, so to speak. He criticizes morality, but he does so fairly, he never favors a single ideology or religion, he is consistent across the board. His perspective on morality focuses on a duality, something he calls “master-slave morality”, where both master and slave morality are two differing sets of values. Slave morality focuses more on kindness and sympathy, whereas master morality focuses more on pride and strength. The core difference being that the “master” set of values was more for the strong willed than it’s “slave” counterpart, in fact he goes so far to say that slave morality is simple a re-valuation of what the master values, which yet again stresses that “intention” aspect of slave morality, whereas master morality focuses more on the consequences of our actions. There’s such a beauty in Nietzsche’s simplicity on the duality of the moralities (and my inadvertent poetry skills), and he reinforces his perceptions with connotations of the two value systems, where slave is viewed, well, as a slave, as a dependent, and where master is viewed as noble and self-empowered. And it’s...
