- 582: The Advancement of Technology
- ... in a technologically advanced world. Voting & Poisoned Political Process in The U.S. The advance of mass communication is natural in a technologically advanced society. In our country's short history, we have seen the development of the printing press, the radio, the television, and now the Internet; all of these, able to reach millions of people. Equally natural, is the ... method of persuasion by political figures, multinational corporate advertising, and the upper 2% of the elite, who have an interest in controlling public opinion. Newspapers and radio experienced this same history, but are now somewhat obsolete in the science of changing public opinion. Though I do not suspect television to become completely obsolete within the next 20 years, I do see the Internet being used by the same political figures, multinational corporations, and upper 2% elite, for the same purposes.

- ... Wood’s Radicalism of the American Revolution is a book that extensively covers the origin and ideas preceding the American Revolution. Wood’s account of the Revolution goes beyond the history and timeline of the war and offers a new encompassing look inside the social ideology and economic forces of the war. Wood explains in his book that America went through ... same goals. This was a change from previous republican views on trade. People became inherently dependent on one another instead of being dependent on the government. At this point in history you can begin to see the social ties of Americans grow stronger. Wood writes on the changing economy of the early 19th century, “America suddenly emerged a prosperous, scrambling, enterprising ... may give Wood’s book some claim of legitimacy, I feel it is equally important to note individual Smith pg.5 accomplishments during the Revolution.

- 586: Personal Freedom In the United States of America
- ... be guilty of violating the bounds of the First Amendment by publicly offending others through obscenity or racism. Americans have developed a distinct disposition toward the freedom of expression throughout history. The First Amendment clearly voices a great American respect toward the freedom of religion. It also prevents the government from "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Since the early history of our country, the protection of basic freedoms has been of the utmost importance to Americans. In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that ... in this case the principles of free speech have been abused because young children can purchase and listen to this obscene music.

In the story of Homer's Illiad, the ten-year war is fought ... I believe Pomeroy has written a fine book on a topic that needs to be explored more. It's hard for me to understand why the subject of women in history has been neglected as long as it has. Pomeroy has compiled a lot of information on the subject and put it into a well written and cited book. The information ... have had before it. I think it is a valuable piece of work in that it might inspire others to try their hand at what I consider to be new history. There is not much written with the female slant on history. Other voices of history need to be heard and Pomeroy delivered a great start to the cause of ...
