Gompers, Samuel. Report of the Committee of the Senate upon the Relations between Labor and Capital. Washington, D.C, 1885. 1:365-70. Gompers explains the philosophies that led to the success of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in the 19th century, after replacing the Knights of Labor. Gompers explains that, with the increase in modernism and capitalism, many people were left impoverished, as the rich acquired more and more wealth, precisely why the trade union had to be formed to fight for the welfare of this class of society. He also explains that the unions were not in any way related to barbarism, and neither did they give rise to socialist nor communism ideas. He argues this out by illustrating that formations of such unions was only possible in countries like the United States and in Britain where civilization, and the respect of people’s rights was allowed. The article therefore helps to understand the factors that led to AFL becoming a powerful force even through the strike, and how it played a role in opposing the communism culture. Congress, U. S.…

Revolution in Animal Farm The revolution of animals was executed just like human revolutions, which happen in daily social activities. The revolution was aimed at fighting for equality and eradicate rebellion, corruption, and freedom among the animals. The Animal Farm was full of social injustices led by Farmer Jones. When they got fed up, they kicked him out of the farm. The revolution was successful at first. The animals achieved their goals; they had less work, acquired equality on education, and received an equal allocation of food. However, the animals were more concentrated on evolution, which made the pigs, Snowball and Napoleon take control and seized power. The change of the “Sixth commandment of Animalism” had a big impact on the revolution system within the farm. The transformation of the law contributed to the failure of the revolution system. The original law stated: “No animal shall kill another animal.” However, the change of the commandment added some words to form the current law, which states that: “No animal shall kill another animal without cause.” Change of the commandment facilitated killings…

Native and Anglo interactions in the new world. When the Anglo Europeans inhabited America the land had been inhabited for over a decade millennial with diversified people who had their own cultures. Their arrival made it necessary to interact with the native Americans but the difference in language and culture created a barrier among the two peoples amidst the struggles for available resources for survival. The Anglo Europeans landed in America instead of Asia which was their destination at first. The heat and hot environment became hostile to the men and women from Europe as they were not used to such temperatures (Kupperman, 1984,p. 213 )  The climate made their bodies adapt and even susceptible to tropical diseases. As colonizers, they had to learn and adapt to the landscape, the social environment, and adapt to the climatic changes as well. Their location, the boundaries, and the social community available were very important (Rockman & Steele, 2003) and this is what led to them being in contact with the native Americans. On the other hand, the Native Americans have been vulnerable…

Video review: Ancient Egypt Ancient Egypt stretched as far north as modern-day Syria and as far south as modern-day Sudan. It used to be an empire divided into two regions; the upper and lower Egypt, with a series of independent cities along the Nile River.  About 100 B.C., the two regions merged and formed, which had a reign of five major periods of prosperity; early dynastic period, old kingdom, middle kingdom, new kingdom, and the late kingdom (Ancient Egypt). It was ruled by about 300 rulers who were commonly known as Pharaohs and were considered as protectors of the people and acted as mediators between humanity and the Gods they worshiped. Pharaohs were believed to become gods after they died and were buried in special tombs with all the things they require afterlife (Ancient Egypt). To this day, pyramids of Giza still exist, showing us the great work done by the Egyptians for many years using building techniques still used to date (Ancient Egypt). River Nile provided water for dams constructed along the Nile valley, which was flooded to produce…

Patella-bone ACL repairs & Hamstring ACL repairs Introduction             With current debate going on bone autografts, both the two popular choices offer intriguing meta-analyses for exploration of clinical outcomes. The patella or kneecap is triangularly a bone that appears at the core of the knee. The development of this impairment makes several ligaments and tendons to merge with the kneecap, inclusive of the tibia and femur bones in the upper and lower leg, respectively.

The role of Darwinism in America Social Darwinism refers to a loose group of ideologies which emerged during the late 1800s following the theory of the Charles Darwin theory of evolution through a natural selection. The above method was applied to justify the various political, economic and social views. The process of social Darwinism believes in the idea of survival for the fittest within society. The relevance here is that within the community, some people became more powerful since they are innately better. The above theory has, however, used to justify the cases of racism, imperialism social inequality as well as eugenics. Social Darwinism came in the late 19th century during the political and economic expansion. The theory of social Darwinism was, however, used to classify people as inferior and justify the actions against them as the European and the American upper class worked on how they could expand their economic and the political powers. The above theory, brought into the use of several explanations to explain the increased gap that existed between the poor and the rich. Some of…
