An event that could be used for this example is that of colonialism. The most common view is that Europeans had a desire for exploration and finding new markets in other places of the world. They were able to use their technology in order to fuel this exploration, and when they encountered people in other countries, they dominated them due to their imperialist beliefs and their desire for wealth.

From a Marxist perspective, we could see colonialism as a struggle of different classes. Those who own the means of production of the world (colonizers) dominate those who only have their labor (locals) and they profit from their work without working themselves. The hierarchical and political structures that are then implemented are designed to maintain this status quo.

The interpretation of this event through different lenses affects the view we have of it. In the first case, the event is not as premeditated, economics plays a smaller role and the focus is on culture. From the second perspective, the event is seen as primarily economically motivated. Neither perspective is necessarily right or wrong.

Well everyone has different point of veiws.so you might find it meaningless while she thinks not of it.for example the women rights movement,men or other women saw it pointless that women should vote or get any of the privileges that men have or get. so lets say you thought that it was cool that the women stood up and fought like that but your friend didn't find it interesting that is different perspectives. correct me if i am  wrong.

Does Samuel Sewall appeal more to logic or to emotion in "The Selling of Joseph: A Memorial"? Back up your response with evidenc
schepotkina [342]

It has logic and emotion, but mostly logic.  His logic is very clear that if you follow the bible you shouldn't condemned slavery and killings of hundred of people. When practicing the bible and being christians one has to act like christ and follow the teachings of him and the bible.  They cannot prove Joseph's enslavement as wrong, but still enslave people who were like Joseph. In it Sewall not only condemns the practice of human trafficking, but goes on to challenge many common slave owners held  the practice of enslavement and yet still be followers of God. He uses Joseph as example to bring light to what they are doing wrong. Sewall also cites several Biblical passages which Sewall uses to make a of the practice of man stealing. Using logic is very clear in his writing about people just choosing to ignore themselves on being a hypocrite and make them question their own strong held belief.

Provide an objective summary of the central ideas Benjamin Franklin offered in his essay regarding the problems and conflicts th
PIT_PIT [208]
In the essay Benjamin Franklin wrote in 1784 about Native Americans, titled “Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America”, he stated that the Native Americans were called savages “because their manners differ from ours, which we think the perfection of civility; they think the same of theirs.” The theme of empathy is seen in Franklin’s essay, as he encouraged seeing the other person’s point of view in dealing with the Native Americans. In highlighting the similarity of how Native Americans conduct their public councils to how order is maintained in the British House of Commons, he promoted the value of respect for diversity.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Through Akerblad’s actions, Giblin shows him as someone whose confidence eventually stood in the way of his success.

Explanation:

James Cross Giblin's work <em>The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone</em> is a historical work on the deciphered work of the Rosetta Stone that was discovered in Memphis. This historical stone laid the foundation for the understanding of the Egyptian language and scripts.

The given passage talks about Johan Akerblad, a Swedish student studying under Silvestre de Sacy. The passage details how his previous successes led him to make a mistake while deciphering the Stone. Through his actions, Giblin presents him as someone whose confidence in always succeeding led him to be adamant, thus obstructing him in the way of successfully deciphering the hieroglyphic. He made a mistake in claiming that the demotic hieroglyphic is alphabetic, leading to <em>"no further progress in deciphering the demotic passage on the Stone". </em>
