Second Industrial Revolution: The Second Industrial Revolution, which is also known as the Technological Revolution, occurred between 1870 and 1914. This period was mainly characterized by rapid rate of inventions in energy, medicine, chemicals, and materials that had a huge impact on production (Mokyr & Strotz, 1998)
This contributed to the consideration of modernization as a kind of westernization because of the expansion of the western culture and institutions. World War I had a huge impact on Germany and other European countries as well as other areas like Latin America, Africa, and the Pacific Islands (Nosotro, n
The country affected global politics from an imperialist and neutralist perspective since these were the essential concepts in foreign policy during this period. As the country experienced ethnocentrism, Anglo-Saxonism, and belief in manifest destiny, it became an imperial power that determined global politics during this period (Chimes, n
The United States and World Affairs: The basis for United States emergence and development to become the most powerful nation on earth has primarily been influenced by the country's foreign affairs strategy that has provides the basis for her involvement in global affairs. Before 1890, America followed isolationism policy in relation to international or global affairs (Churney, 2014)
But these institutions were a boon to women because some were created specifically for women and in time the normal schools that were coeducational became schools with women as a majority. Women Who Wanted to Become Attorneys -- A Struggle In the Journal of Supreme Court History, author Jill Norgren explains that right after the Civil War, in 1865, there were women who aspired to become lawyers (Norgren, 2010)
S., but women were not given the chance to become college professors (Spillman, 2012)
This paper reflects the few opportunities that were available to women and how those opportunities were seized upon by women eager to better themselves and pursue careers -- notwithstanding firm resistance by society and by colleges and universities run by men. Women and Higher Education by 1860 In his book A History of American Higher Education, author John Thelin points out that by 1860, just before the Civil War, there were "…at lease forty-five institutions" that were offering college and university degrees to women (Thelin, 2012)
Through their artwork, painters such as Gustave Courbet transmitted the beliefs, customs and aspects of those who rebelled against the Romantics. Rebuffed by the Parisian art world for their "realist" viewpoint, they stressed sympathy for the ordinary citizens whose lives were being profoundly impacted by the changes around them (Rubin, 4)
. Where they (other artists) saw the poor, he saw the 'humble'" (Weisberg, 9)
But how little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue, she could easily conjecture. (Austen, 50) The irony here is that if much of the Victorian critique of marriage hinged upon its suppression of female autonomy, Elizabeth Bennett's (and by extension Jane Austen's) critique of the union of Wickham and Lydia Bennett seems to indicate it was due to an excess of female autonomy, where "their passions were stronger than their virtue
.] the wife is regarded as the property of her husband" (Besant
In Browning's poem, the title itself -- "My Last Duchess" -- is perfectly ambiguous: it refers either to the Duke of Ferrara's first wife, or the portrait of his first wife that hangs in his art gallery. The chilling revelation of the verse monologue is that, of course, the Duke's complete control over the portrait is intended to compensate for a certain lack of control he had over the actual wife, whom eventually he had killed: the Duke tells his guest that "none puts by / the curtain I have drawn for you, but I" (Browning 9-10), demonstrating that access to the late wife's portrait is entirely controlled by the husband
Marriage is a state of higher duties. I never thought of it as mere personal ease" (Eliot, IV)
If Dorothea is, as Leavis claims, Eliot's 'day-dream ideal self' her perfection lies in the kind of high womanliness which her creator herself was anxious to represent." (Foster 219)
But overall, Besant's argument focuses on the state of the actual laws in England in the Victorian period, arguing that "by marriage a woman loses her legal existence…the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage" (Besant 8). Again this is traced back to the religious notion that husband and wife are "one flesh," but it is -- as Shanley notes, an accurate assessment of the state of English law at the time, which was still heavily influenced by "the notion that a husband in some manner owned his wife's affection and sexual services, that she was his property, but a wife did not have a similar legal claim on her husband" (Shanley 24)
The building's facade features a winding and vast sculpture etched into the front of what is otherwise a fairly non-descript and average building. The fact that the building itself is not a lot to look at or analyze may cause some people to just keep walking but the overall level of detail and artistic flair is breathtaking to behold (Alexander, 2010)
Similar adjustments were made to the interior of the synagogues including the overall layout and this of course dictate how the liturgy and other details of Jewish services would be conducted. This often put orthodox and reformed Jews at odds, so the assimilation into America changed some Jews more than other and this absolutely manifested in the form of some synagogues obviously being changed to mesh more smoothly with the American experience while others refused to budged and wanted to stick to the traditional style even though the Jews in question were in a brand new country (Moffson, 2003)
Women Suffrage 19th Century However novel it may appear, I shall venture the assertion, that, until women assume the place in society which good sense and good feeling alike, assign to them, human improvement must advance but feebly," (Wright)
It is worth noting that this identification also crucially incorporates the non-human natural world -- everything which is not culturally determined. Basch notes that Catherine's statement is not hyperbolic, as indeed the logic of the novel demonstrates that "by denying momentarily within herself her passion for Heathcliff, by abandoning him and Nature, of which she is an organic part, Cathy brings about her own destruction" (Basch 91)
It is worth noting that the dynamic is not unlike the one expressed by Butler in Gender Trouble, where, discussing Joan Riviere's notion of womanliness as a "masquerade" Butler notes that "femininity is taken on by a woman who 'wishes for masculinity,' but fears the retributive consequences of taking on the public appearance of masculinity…The woman takes on a masquerade knowingly in order to conceal her masculinity from the masculine audience she wants to castrate…the woman who 'wishes for masculinity' is homosexual only in terms of sustaining a masculine identification, but not in terms of a sexual orientation or desire." (Butler 70)
