"I.That his Majesty's subjects in these colonies, owe the same allegiance to the Crown of Great Britain that is owing from his subjects born within the realm, and all due subordination to that august body, the Parliament of Great Britain."

... all the art of the 15th century. Early renaissance artist sought to create art forms consistent with the appearance of the natural world and with their experience of human personality and behavior. These artists made an effort to go beyond straightforward transcription of nature, to instill the work of art with ideal, intangible qualities, endowing it with a beauty and significance greater and more permanent than that actually found in nature. Artists such as Donatello in sculpture, Masaccio in painting and Fillipo Brunelleschi in architecture were part of this period. Masaccio for instance gave figures the “illusion” of live beings when characters and re ...

... This is just one example of what was achieved without the help of Great Britain. Similar advances happened throughout all the colonies. When New England along with the rest of the colonies began to prosper and set up more proprietary systems of self-government England began to take notice that the colonies could be used as a source of profit. “Benign neglect” was an important aspect of the revolution.

... opened in 1892 could process up to 5,000 people a day. On some days between 1905 and 1914 it had to process more than 10,000 immigrants a day. Many arrivals had left their homelands to escape mobs who attacked them because of their ethnicity, religion, or politics. The German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman (Turkish) empires ruled over many different peoples and nationalities and often cruelly mistreated them. Until 1899, U.S. immigration officials asked arrivals which nation they had left, not their religion or ancestry. So oppressed people were listed under the countries from which they fled. Armenians who escaped from Turkey were reco ...

... myths refer to an extraordinary time and place and to gods and other supernatural beings and processes, they have usually been seen as aspects of religion.

Myth, History, and Reason In the Greek heritage of the West, myth or mythos has always been in tension with reason or logos, which signified the sensible and analytic mode of ar ...

... much like the Europeans had to adapt to a new ways of live, while migrating to the New World the Europeans brought many new things with them that dumbfounded the Indians, some of those thing being a callous behavior towards the land, diseases and religious zeal. Even though both cultures could have probably coexisted quite peacefully the Europeans felt that they were superior to the Indians and set out to dominate and suppress the Indian population. Many Europeans were drawn to the New World because it held promise, something that their homeland lacked. They wanted to create a world that was similar to the one left behind, proof of this is evident in the names ...

... past trends, seen in 1969, to help determine the progression of violence generated from the music industry. In retrospect, 1969 was a year that possibly initiated the concept of using music to corrupt social values and employed music as a motive for violence. These trends, established in the late 1960s have heightened in severity and are partially responsible for today's violence in music. It is apparent that music has the power of influence, for the act of listening indirectly takes the listener away from other activities. The Parents Music Resource Center reports that American teenagers listen to an estimated 10,500 hours of rock music between the 7th and 12th ...

... 2 foot by 6 foot slots where they spent most of their time. They were fed old, rotted food, and many servants died as a result of malnutrition or disease long before they reached the colonies.

If both parents died, their children would be required to work until they were 21. When the boat reached America all servants were forced to stay onboard until they could pay the toll or have a master pay the toll, then they would serve that master for a set number of years (Gottlieb p 30).

... Because this movie is definitely a prerequisite for any horror fan or DVD collector in general. So here's the review of the DVD itself. VIDEO: The movie is presented in normal non-anamorphic widescreen only, but that is just fine with me. It looks fantastic, with the blood really standing out against the rest of the surroundings. I didn't notice any compression problems or anything. Beautiful transfer, but they could make this movie look like a Gameboy game and I'd still love it. AUDIO: The sound is Dolby 5.1 and Dolby 2 Channel, and it sounds great. It's definitely sounding better than it ever has before. There are some great uses of the surround because most of th ...
