- 1501: Isabella I
- Isabella I Kate Mehlman ("THE CATHOLIC.") Isabella I was the Queen of Castile; who was born in the town of Madrigal de las Altas Torres on 22 April, 1453; and died 26 November, 1504, in the castle of ... the motto, "Tanto monta, monta tanto-Isabel como Fernando (As much as the one is worth so much is the other-Isabella as Fernando)". While they were carrying on a war against neighboring Granada, Christopher Columbus presented himself to the Catholic sovereigns, and to Queen Isabella fell the honor of appreciating the genius who had not been understood at Genoa, ...
- 1502: Is There Such A Thing As The American Dream?
- Is There Such A Thing As The American Dream? People always ask me, how can a patriotic Bahamian be so much into American history? I find Americans fascinating, actually, and I will not say to much in case I hurt anyone's feelings, but I find the United States to be a strange, self-destructive nation, clinging to long ago exploits while decrying their current situation. In my ...
- 1503: Oskar Schindler
- ... took them to labor in his weapon factory, and he told his workers that he was going to be very angry if one of the weapons really worked. When the war ended and the Jews got their freedom, Schindler lost all his money. Even thought he had lost everything he had always wanted to obtain, he got sad and started crying ... receive are. Giving is the only way to find a purpose to our lives. If we do not have a purpose, we will never find an answer to “Why was I put on this world?” Some people think that the time we spend on Earth is so short that we should try to get and receive as much as we possibly can to be ...
- 1504: The Effects of Aristotelian Teleological Thought on Darwin's Mechanistic Views of Evolution
- ... of natural selection has virtually dissected Aristotle's ghost. While Aristotle explained biology through a plan and a purpose, Darwin debated that randomness and chaos are responsible for the organic world as we know it. Guiseppe Montalenti, an Italian geneticist and philosopher of biology, wrote that Darwin's ideas were a rebellion against thought in the Aristotelian-scholastic way (Ayala, 4 ... his own advice. Ayala printed that Aristotle's "error was not that he used teleological explanations in biology, but that he extended the concept of teleology to the non-living world."(56) Some biologists say Aristotle used teleology so often because order and purpose, both in the universe and life, were immensely important to him. Aristotle thought it was both ridiculous ... intact. This does not mean all people accepted Aristotle's theories during the Renaissance, however. One philosopher from the twentieth century, Mayr, accuses Aristotle's teleology of the non-organic world for the refutation of Aristotle by Descartes and Bacon. Both of these men criticized "the existence of a form-giving, finalistic principle in the universe" and believed this rejection ...
- 1505: Movie Review of It’s a Wonderful Life
- Movie Review of It’s a Wonderful Life This was an extraordinary movie that showed the homely small-town moral values through glossy studio production. I really enjoyed this movie. It has very quickly become one of my favorite movies of all times. The characters were very good. I thought this movie to be beautifully told and acted, with Reed, Barrymore, and other ensemble members perfectly cast. The actors were very convincing. George Bailey was an ordinary guy. An example of this was went he was at the train station waiting for his brother, Harry. He said, "Do you know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are?…Hanker chains, plane motors, and train whistles." He appreciated small things like that. I think that Jimmy Stewart played the role of George Bailey extremely well. Throughout the ...

During the time that Jackie was a Lt. in the army, he was court marshalled for refusing to ... was not the first Afro-American who was a star athlete. But his importance to baseball and sports in general cannot be exaggerated. His success in baseball proved to the world that not only could blacks and whites co-exist, but work together as a team as well. (Athlete of the Century 1997) In 1955 the Brooklyn Dodgers won the ...
- 1507: Theodore Roosevelt
- ... often disliked Roosevelt. However, the public adored him. Theodore Roosevelt was elected in his own right in 1904, with the (then) greatest popular majority ever. Roosevelt’s presidency included no war to push him into the limelight, yet Theodore Roosevelt made his imprint on history many times over. Roosevelt was the first “Theodore Rooseveltust-busting” President; he established many national parks ... the next presidential election year. Under the Act Respecting Alien Enemies, the President could order the deportation of “citizens of any counTheodore Roosevelty with which the United States was at war” (Brown 122). These fed on early nationalistic sentiments and fear of “Jacobins” from the bloody French Revolution at a time when war with France looked probable. The Act for the Punishment of Certain Crimes, which went down in history as the Sedition Act, was the most criticized of the bunch. It ...
- 1508: Racism: Burdens of A Multi-Cultural World
- Racism: Burdens of A Multi-Cultural World The sizzling streams of sunlight were just beautifully glimmering down on the crisp green school yard. Such a wonderful day that was. Nothing could have ruined it. Little Jimmy, since ... doubt, we are all racist, but this the term racism has been used too loosely. Racism has been mutated to such an extent that it could be a reason for war, a symbol of terrorism, and even an excuse for neglecting. Is that all there is to it? No, actually it is just the beginning. Racism is just like warfare in which there is no shelter and nobody is neutral. Nobody is exempt from this demon. He has haunted us with a bitter curse. On one occasion I remember, nobody would play with me at school. I would walk around by myself and ask people if we could play together. Everywhere that I went, like the process ...

- 1510: JFK: Was His Assassination Ine
- ... a complex combination of domestic and foreign events. When President Kennedy was in office, he had to deal with many issues, ranging from business and finance to crime-fighting and war issues. Perhaps it is not as important to decide who it was that killed him, but why. President Kennedy's decisions and courses of action were not popular with everybody ... threatened by Russian Prime-Minister Nikita Khruschev Kennedy would not let this disturb him, and he did not stop the naval blockade. The Russian ships eventually returned home, with nuclear war being narrowly averted. However, one must consider what kind of relationship Kennedy had with both Castro and the Russians after the crisis. Could the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile ... The CIA, the Military Industrial Complex, and maybe even the FBI were all involved in the situation in Cuba, and might of had their own reasons for wanting Kennedy dead. "I will smash the CIA into a thousand pieces", said Kennedy after the disaster at the Bay of Pigs. The President soon commissioned a report to see why the Cuban ...
