... on the physical expression and body movements of the people in the paintings or sculptures. People in Renaissance paintings were less stiff, and all the same size. Artists were concerned with realism and emotions. Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Botticelli were artists of the Renaissance who focused on these ideas. The Renaissance did not reflect the Middle Ages at all in the art category. Paintings in the Middle Ages focused on religion. People were painted flat, rigid, and all different sizes according to levels of importance. The paintings were symbolic from corner to corner. Artists of the Middle Ages almost never signed their names, because that was not ...

... Hawaii’s troubles.” (2) Queen Liliuokalani naturally spoke out against the degradation of herself and her cabinet, and on behalf of her position of defending the Hawaiian Monarchy. “The U.S. Minister John Stevens was influenced by the annexationists. As a diplomat, his role was to foster a friendly, trusting relationship with the Hawaiian government. Instead, he often criticized the monarchy in public. I complained to the U.S. government about Stevens’ attitude and conduct but no action was taken.” (1) Since there was speculation concerning the reasons Stevens was sent to the islands, many people believe that Stevens did, in fact, have plans for annexation in ...

... undoubtedly a very involved process spanning seventy days in some cases. First, all the internal organs were removed with one exception, the heart. If the body was not already West of the Nile it was transported across it, but not before the drying process was initiated. Natron (a special salt) was extracted from the banks of the Nile and was placed under the corpse, on the sides, on top, and bags of the substance were placed inside the body cavity to facilitate the process of dehydration. After thirty-five days the ancient embalmers would anoint the body with oil and wrap it in fine linen. If the deceased was wealthy enough a priest donning a mask of Anubis wo ...

... bilateral relationships. Bilateral relationships are not an alternative to regional and multilateral efforts. Indeed, bilateral, regional and multilateral efforts are mutually supportive. When Australia works closely with another country on a global initiative, such as the conclusion of the Chemical Weapons Convention, it strengthens the bilateral relationship with that country. Similarly, cooperation within APEC helps to consolidate Australia's relations with individual APEC economies. In this way, multilateral and regional efforts feed back into, and broaden, bilateral relationships (Aggarwal 1998). In the Cold War years of the late 1940's and lasting well ...

... a plethora of gold but explorers such as Cortez of Spain who saw this brought back stories of an overabundance of gold. As a result, conquistadores invaded the Americas, killing and rampaging the azteks. They also spread deadly diseases to the Indians who had a deficient immune system in contrast to those of Europeans. Not only did these outrages happen to these two cultures, but this happened to the North American Indians. Englishman pushed Indians out of their homes and set up their own society. The Africans brought over from Africa did not do so great either. Portuguese pioneered the market for African slave trade and Africans have suffered ever since. D ...

... a period of severe droughts, and the soil began to blow away. The organic matter, clay, and slit in the soil were carried great distances by the winds, in some cases darkening the sky as far as the Atlantic coast, and sand and heavier materials drifted against houses, fences, and barns. IN many places eight to ten centimeters of soil were blown away. Millions of hectares of farmland became useless, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their lands, and homes. The Dust Bowl lasted about a decade. Beginning in 1935, intensive efforts were made both by federal and state goverments to develop adequate programs for soil conservation and for rehabilita ...

... gods, in turn having been pleased, would ensure the success of the land and hunting as well as protect them from their enemies. These rituals were performed in many places. At times, these rituals would involve the entire community. At other times, small groups would perform for the rest of the community. From that time until the present, every type of performance has created its own environmental conditions of performer-audience relationship, and these have varied from a patch of beaten earth to complicated built structures (Leacroft 1). The various Greek tribes worshipped many different gods. Dionysus, or Bacchus, was an important god for the Thracians, a tr ...

... states that the federal government has the right to acquire land. Those that view the constitution liberally, or loose constructionists, counter that stand by claiming the right of expansion falls under the government’s implied powers. Loose constructionists and strict constructionists are the main divisive factor for the United States political parties: the democrats and the whigs. One of the supporters of was, democrat, James Polk who served as president from 1844 to 1848. Polk was strongly in favor of expanding the United States to the Pacific. This opinion won him the election of 1844. That year Henry Clay, a well known and loved figure in American politics, ...

... were literate and schooling began at an early age. In Achen, even Charlemange couldn’t read or write, although he made repeated attempts to revive learning. The people who were literate were mainly monks. Religion is another difference between the cultures. In Pompeii, religion was based on polytheism, whereas in Achen it was monotheistic because most were Christian. From religion comes another aspect, that of tolerance. In Achen, there was no tolerance or acceptance of other religions. In Pompeii, they mostly were accepting. Materialism consumed people of Pompeii. For example, during the eruption of Vesuvius, citizens could be seen running away ...
