The document provides historical context for F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby by describing the social and economic environment of the 1920s in the United States. After World War I, the US economy boomed as soldiers returned home with money to spend, ushering in the Roaring Twenties era of materialism, jazz music, women's liberation, and prohibition. New technologies like the automobile and advertising proliferated, while organized crime profited from illegal alcohol and gambling during prohibition. This cultural milieu influenced Fitzgerald's acclaimed novel exploring excess and the American Dream.
Between 1750-1789, the American colonies grew increasingly unhappy with British rule as Britain imposed new taxes without colonial consent to pay off debts from the Seven Years' War. This led to unrest and demonstrations like the Boston Tea Party in 1773. In 1776, the colonies declared independence from Britain and fought the Revolutionary War until 1783 when Britain recognized American independence in the Treaty of Paris. After the war, the new nation worked to establish a stable government, debating between the Federalists who favored a strong central government and the Antifederalists who opposed centralized power. This debate was resolved with the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1789.
The document discusses the political changes that occurred in the United States following the Era of Good Feelings. New political parties formed as opposition became more accepted. Candidates used new campaign methods like parades and barbecues to appeal to voters. Voter turnout doubled between 1824 and 1828 as people became more engaged in the political process. The elections of the 1820s and 1830s were characterized by the rise of Jacksonian democracy and the development of the two-party system between the Democrats and Whigs.
The document summarizes some of the political and social tensions that led the 13 colonies to revolt against British rule between 1750-1776. It discusses the French and Indian War, which strained the British empire through high taxation and war debt. It also discusses various Acts passed by the British parliament, such as the Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Coercive Acts that further angered colonists and sparked protests. Over time, resistance among the colonies grew and eventually led to open conflict and the beginning of the American Revolutionary War in 1775.
The War of 1812 was poorly fought by America due to divisions within the country and poor military leadership. However, the war gave Americans a renewed sense of national identity. While the British won more battles, they could not conquer the vast American territory. The Treaty of Ghent ended the war in 1814 without either side gaining territory. The war strengthened American manufacturing and helped unify the country after its conclusion, marking a second war for American independence.
The document discusses how the climate of the Little Ice Age from the 14th to 19th centuries significantly impacted global temperatures, reshaped the world, and influenced major historical events like revolutions. It also describes how the Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the US but extended slavery, and the violence that characterized the South American frontier and politics centered around families. Finally, it outlines how several major battles of the American Civil War, especially the Battle of Antietam in 1862, were critical crossroads that restored northern faith, ended British hopes of interference, and emancipated slaves while reuniting the Union.
The document discusses several key events and issues surrounding the American Civil War:
1) Lincoln was faced with an ominous choice regarding how to respond to the secession of South Carolina and other southern states taking control of federal forts and property. He ultimately refused the southern demand to surrender Fort Sumter.
2) The southern attack on Fort Sumter was ultimately a positive for the North and Lincoln, as it rallied support for the Union cause.
3) The Border States of Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, and Delaware were crucial because their allegiance could have tipped the war strongly in the South's favor if they had seceded.
4) Railroads and telegraph networks gave the North a
The document discusses significant political events and developments in the United States from the late 1860s to the early 1900s. Key events included the founding of third parties like the Prohibition and Populist parties, as well as the assassination of President Garfield. Farmers faced economic hardship and organized through alliances, putting political pressure on both major parties. Tensions grew around issues of currency and tariffs. The period saw the rise of Jim Crow laws and disfranchisement in the South. Under McKinley, American imperialism and overseas expansion increased, driven by factors like naval strategists and missionaries, culminating in the Spanish-American War and new overseas territories.
The document discusses the history of slavery and abolitionism in the United States from the late 18th century through the 1850s. It describes the slave-owning plantation aristocracy in the South, the lives of slaves, and the different socioeconomic classes below the aristocracy. It also discusses the emergence of abolitionist societies and movements, both political and radical, and the South's defensive response to the growing abolitionist sentiment in the North. Key figures discussed include Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Theodore Weld.
The American Revolution began in 1774 when each colony established independent self-governing states in response to British rule. In 1775 the British sent troops to reassert control, leading the states to join together in fighting the American Revolutionary War for independence. By 1776 the states had severed ties with Britain and declared independence as the United States. The new nation then drafted the Constitution in 1787-88 to govern the united states.
Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin aroused strong reactions in both the North and South by vividly portraying the cruelty of slavery. It sold millions of copies and influenced public opinion in both America and Europe. In the 1857 Dred Scott decision, the Supreme Court ruled that slaves were property without rights and Congress could not ban slavery in territories, further straining sectional tensions. The 1860 election saw Republicans nominate Abraham Lincoln while the southern Democrats nominated John Breckinridge after walking out of the Democratic convention, reflecting the deep split over slavery in the nation.
The document summarizes the key events in the struggle for control of North America between France, Britain, and Spain from the late 17th century to the 1760s. It describes France establishing settlements in Canada led by Samuel de Champlain, the fur trade that developed, and the four intertwined European and colonial wars that resulted in Britain gaining control of most of France's North American territories by the Treaty of Paris in 1763. However, tensions grew as colonists increasingly settled west of the Appalachians against British wishes.
The document summarizes major events and developments in the Americas during the 19th century. Several key points:
1) Many countries in the western hemisphere gained independence from European powers, while the United States expanded significantly in size through western expansion and the Mexican-American War.
2) Industrialization increased in the northern U.S. while the southern economy remained agricultural and relied on slavery, exacerbating tensions between the north and south that led to the Civil War.
3) Western expansion was characterized by migration to the frontier for land and resources, increasing ethnic diversity across the population.
The document outlines the key events that led to the American Revolution from 1607-1776, including Britain passing taxes like the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Townshend Acts on the colonies without representation, leading colonists to adopt the slogan "no taxation without representation." Tensions rose further with events like the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party. Finally, the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, declaring independence from British rule and marking the start of the Revolutionary War.
The document summarizes four different articles from 1858 issues of the New York Times. The first article discusses the proposed Proviso in California that split politicians along North and South lines regarding the expansion of slavery. The second article talks about foreign generals criticizing American naval officers and the American public's reaction. The third details the arrival of an editor speaking about the capture of General Walker. And the fourth outlines plans to collect city bonds and losses on the stock exchange stemming from issues in London.
Fulgencio Batista seized power in Cuba in 1952 through a coup, which was unpopular with many Cubans who opposed his authoritarian rule. Fidel Castro began plotting to overthrow Batista. In 1953, Castro led an attack on the Moncada barracks, which failed, and he was imprisoned but later released. In 1955, Castro went to Mexico and formed the July 26th Movement to continue fighting Batista's regime through guerrilla warfare in the mountains. By 1958, Castro's forces had gained strength while Batista's military was weakened. Batista fled Cuba in 1959, and Castro entered Havana in January 1959 to popular acclaim, culminating in the Cuban Revolution.
Manifest Destiny, Monroe Doctrine, and Mexican War (USHC 2.2)Tom Richey

The document discusses how the Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny influenced U.S. foreign relations and expansion in the 1800s. It describes how the Monroe Doctrine aimed to limit European colonization in the Americas and how Manifest Destiny promoted westward expansion as divinely ordained. It then gives details on how these ideas contributed to U.S. involvement in the Texas Revolution and Mexican War, resulting in territorial acquisitions that increased tensions over slavery and expanded the nation from coast to coast.
The document summarizes conflicts between settlers and Native Americans in the Northwest Territory in the 1790s, which led to the Treaty of Greenville. It also discusses the divided American response to the French Revolution and Washington's declaration of neutrality. Washington sent John Jay to negotiate a treaty with Britain that ended the impressment of American sailors but was unpopular with those siding with France. Washington also offered advice in his Farewell Address to avoid political parties and foreign alliances.

Radiation pollution is caused by passages and electromagnetic radiation emitted from
natural and man-made sources.
These may include neutrons, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, microwaves and alpha passages.
Radiation pollution also includes controlled disposal of radioactive wastes from nuclear
reactors.
Radiation pollution may have biological, ecological and socio-economic effects.
The amount of injury caused by radiation from a radioactive isotope depends on its half-life,
and on how quickly it is absorbed and how fast the body of the organism repairs the
damage.
Most studies of the harmful effects of radiation have been performed on single-celled
organisms.
Obviously, the situation is more complex in humans and other multi-cellular organisms,
because a single cell damaged by radiation may indirectly affect other cells in the individual.
The most sensitive regions of the human body appear to be those which have many actively
dividing cells, such as the skin, gonads, intestine and tissues that grow blood cells (spleen,
bone marrow, and lymph organs).
Radiation is toxic because the emitted radiations form ions when they interact with
biological molecules in cells and tissues.
These ions can then form free radicals, which damage proteins, membranes and nucleic
acids.
Radioactive radiation can damage DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by destroying individual
bases including thymine, breaking single strands and double strands, cross-linking different
DNA strands and cross-linking DNA and proteins.
Damage to DNA can lead to cancers, birth defects, and even death.
MULTI SENSORY EXPERIENCE DESIGN RESEARCHSamuel Thuo
油
Excited to share insights from my Dissertation Thesis on Multisensory Experience Design in Art Museums, focusing on Nairobi, Kenya! I have to say that this is the work that set me on my current trajectory and led me to my current design philosophy of design for all senses.
Have you been to a #museum, wanted to touch an exhibit and there you saw an injunction, "Please don't touch"....or "Please speak softly",,,,or "Please no eating in the museum".....or "Please don't use strong perfume".... these injunctions have made museums to be mono-sensory experience oriented, alienating the visitors. These injunctions speak volumes of our innate and inherent desire to want to engage holistically with all our #senses with objects. This is a major problem especially in Kenya's museums, which is a paradox with its rich cultural, and anthropological exhibits that require engagement with all the senses.
Inspired by David Howes' insights from Concordia University, my thesis challenges this status quo by exploring historical precedents. Did you know that in the 18th century, museums encouraged multisensory interaction? Today, there's a global shift towards enhancing museum experiences through multisensory #design, yet Kenya's museums often lag behind international standards.
This research isn't just about aesthetics....it's about fostering meaningful, educational, and socially enriching experiences. By embracing multisensory design, museums can bridge cultural divides and create environments where every visitor feels welcomed and engaged. And want to go back.
Let's spark a conversation about the future of museum experiences. How can we leverage design to make cultural institutions more accessible and inspiring for all?
