Martin Luther King Jr. And Malcolm X
.... culture and had a great influence on black Americans. However, King had a more positive attitude than Malcolm X, believing that through peaceful demonstrations and arguments, blacks will be able to someday achieve full equality with whites. Malcolm X’s despair about life was reflected in his angry, pessimistic belief that equality is impossible because whites have no moral conscience. King basically adopted on an integrationalist philosophy, whereby he felt that blacks and whites should be united and live together in peace. Malcolm X, however, promoted nationalist and separatist doctrines. For most of his life, he b .....

Benjamin Franklin Autobiography Analytical Essay
.... “IN the conduct of my newspaper I carefully all libeling and personal abuse….” He tried to display just the good in society. But in the same right he mentions his newspaper as a stagecoach, saying, “in which anyone who would pay had the right to a place.” This shows his ideals on writing and the conveying f information to the people.
In similarity his views also agreed with that of the enlightenment on politics and power. He believed that centralized power was not a good thing. He comments on a political party, “That while a party is carrying on a general design, each man has his particular and private interest in view.” This .....

When he was working at the train station a choice that he had no idea would lead to his interest in telegraphs came about. The station operator’s son had fallen on the tracks.

After months of improsinment, she was tried at Rouen by a tribunal presided over by Peter Cauchon, Bishop of Beauvais, who hoped that the English would help him to becaome archbishop. She was not familiar with the technicalities of theology, so Joan was trapped into making damaging statements.

She was then burned at the stake on May 30, 1431. She was nineteen. Thirty years later she was absolved of all guil .....

Walt Disney
.... He became one of the entertainment industry's most prominent and influential figures. "Sometimes I think of myself as a little bee. I go from one area of the studio to another and gather pollen and sort of stimulate everybody." Replied Disney when a little boy asked him about his job. "I guess that is what I do."
At the age of sixteen, Disney left school and briefly started studying at art schools in Chicago, Illinois and Kansas City, Missouri.

Philophers David Hume And Descartes
.... the external world.
Once Descartes established himself as a “thinking thing”, his attention turned to the external world. Descartes reflects upon his dealing with physical objects, and questions the state of corporeal nature, dealing directly with the senses. Re-stating the fact that Descartes believes that these sensations of taste, touch, smell, and the like can be fooled, he attacks these bodily perceptions, not from the point of “what makes them true”, but rather “what makes them false”. Descartes asks, “What is there in all of this that is not every bit as true as the fact that I exist…” (Descartes:20). These senses .....

Alexander The Great

He believed in Homonoia and wanted all peoples to be united as one. He was able to gain the respect of the people he had just conquered and as a result, he had a multi-racial army. His ability to lead an army of such a diverse nature has never been rivalled. He integrated all of the people he conquered, including all of Asia, into one empire. "As his power extended, he did not introduce European administrators at a level which would inhibit native sel .....

William James: The Later Years
.... Introspection required both concentration and practice, because inner states follow each other rapidly and often are blended and difficult to distinguish from one another. Just as with practice one can notice, observe, name, and classify objects outside oneself, one can do so with inner events. Introspection is in reality, immediate retrospection; the conscious mind looks back and reports what it has just experienced.
James admitted that introspection is difficult and prone to error. Who could be sure of the exact order of feelings when they were excessively rapid? Etc… But he said that the validity of some kinds of intro .....

Mayo’s goals were formed in the matrix of the May Fourth Period. Along with many of the young Chinese of his generation he was concerned with how to maintain China’s integrity in a time when the world was dominated by the great powers and how to use for his own purpose the knowledge and ideas which had led to western superiority. He wished at the same time to preserve select portions of China’s tradition. He sought to promote national resurgence and cultural transformation (Schram 1994).

The Romanovs
.... Great is one of them.
Russians are very religious people. However, they also have faith in magicians. As a Russian citizen I have to admit that many Russians do believe in these people who supposedly have healing powers and can treat any disease with out surgical invasions. This faith is so strong that it can become a problem. Sometimes people chose magicians over the real physicians. Alexandra believed that one of these people, with powers like that, could help them. They invited a priest who was popular by for healing powers. The priest promised that pregnant Alexandra would give birth to a boy. The priest, however, turned .....

Over 300 of his concertos are solo concertos ( there are 220 for violin, others for bassoon, cello, oboe, and flute).
