Romania essay

   The country I chose for this project was Romania. All throughout the 90s Romania has been encountering problems with education. Their goal between 1990 to 2000 was to reform their education in the local schools. They have many different reformation goals and tactics to try and enhance their education.
   One of Romania's goals in reforming education was adjusting the education system’s structure and content in line with current progressive trends in international education. This pretty much means that they want to keep up with the other countries technology. They want their students to be able to experience the same thing the students of other countries are. They want to be up to pace with the rest of the worlds education.
   Another one of their goals in this reformation is increasing the competitiveness of pre-academic and academic qualifications. Pretty much what I understood from this was that Romania wants their children to be able to participate in extra curricular activities. They want to start to be involved in sports, clubs and organizations. If they can do this then it will definitely create progress in their goals for reformation.
   Lastly another one of their goals for reformation is increasing the impact of primary, secondary, and tertiary education on social changes and living standards in Romanian society. This means that Romania is trying  to get the education to impact the children socially as well as educationally. They want this goal to be an instrument for social change. They want less violence in the streets, respect for adult figures, exc. They want to install manors into the education process.
   Their are a couple more goals that I could go over for this reformation. However, I really think this sums up how Romania has been doing in the last couple of years. They just got over being under communist rule so they bare trying to find change.

Ww2 poster stuff

1. 8 things I could do to help the war effort are -don't buy as much food as I normally would -brush your teeth to keep good health - join the army ( guys) - join the Woman's Royal Naval Services (girls) -woman work at the factories. -help farming crops - mend your cloths to conserve resources. -carry around a handkerchief.

2. -Coughs and sneezes spread diseases. This poster was very effective because I still see people today carrying handkerchiefs.- make do and mend. This poster was effective because people started to mend their clothing together instead of buying new things, which saved money. -doctor carrot the children's best friend. This poster was very effective because children needed to stay healthy so that people could focase on the war.

3. This war was called total war because evryone was involved in it. The army's the citizens and the children were all involved. All of Europe was involved and so was most of the world.

Russia kenny

The nobility, church and peasants supported monarchy.

The new modern threats that threatened monarchy were Marxism, idle class, and industrial working class.

Russia was to big for one person to rule. Russia wasn't that industrial advanced. Its military was weak. It had to many diffrent nationalities. It was too big of an empire. Proletariat. Bourgeois. Revolutionaries.

The First World War proved the last straw for the tsar's gov.

People started demanding bread on march 1917.

1,3,4,6,and7

Nicolas took control of Russian military in 1915 which was a very bad mistake.

1.they had porcelain easer eggs. 2. He collected many diffrent luxurious thing. 3.he had multiple palaces. 4. He had his own private personal park. 5. Their is a musium dedicated just to him and his life style.

Rasputin adopted the robes of a monk, and travelled the country, sinning to his heart's content.

Rasputin was corrupt because of his sexual activity with women.

He was shot multiple times, beaten with a rubber club, then tossed in the Nile river.

Russia was old fashioned and weak. It was the First World War. The tsar was stupid.

They are similar because bolth rulers were stupid. They are diffrent because the military had a compleatly diffrent fighting style back then that was less deadly.

The five stages of the French Revolution.

 

The first stage is a weak government. With a government weak and harsh times upon a the people decide that a government is not worthy to rule. In this picture we see the French revolutionaries holding hands with Athena the Greek goddess of wisdom. Them we see the people and a Athena beating down Satan which represents the government.

 

This image is relating to the 2nd stage of the French Revolution. The second stage is the abandonment of the old regime. The French guy on the upside down soap box represents the people starting to abandon the regime.

 


With the revolution winning and changing the country the revolutionaries fight among themselves to decide how they will manage the new country.

With the revolution winning and changing the country the revolutionaries fight among themselves to decide how they will manage the new country

 

 

 

This is the third stage of the French Revolution. The lady in the picture represents the queen. She is meant to represent the counter revolutionaries. The third stage of the French Revolution is all about counter revolution. The counter revolutionaries, counter the revolution.

 


With the revolutionaries fighting amongst themselves a leader steps forward. Usually it's someone who is a very powerful speaker and can unite the people. He promises the nation that he can bring the nation into prosperity.

- (Pope Leo X) – I am stating this because I need to raise enough money to construct the St. Peter’s basilica. I feel that it is morally ok to pay for your sins.

- (Martin Luther) – Well just because I disagree with you, do u feel its ok to just kick me out of the protestant religion? Doesn’t that seem a little harsh to you?

- (John Calvin) – I agree with Martin, that does seem a little harsh.

My fifth wife, Catherine was charged with treason and adultery. Soon after that she was executed.

- (Conrad Grebel) – Why did you chose to have Anne and Catherine executed?

- (Henry VIII) – I chose to have them executed because I’m am a king and it would show a sign of weakness. I was also very upset that they did those horrible things to me.

Japan Korea photojournalism story

About 2 weeks ago I went back in time to Fujiwara Japan. I went there purely so that I could see what it was like. I ran into some trouble in the proses though.
I met the emperor Kamatari and he wasn't very friendly. I ended up getting chased by a bunch of Japanese palace guards. But in the end I got away and got to see and experience a feeling of a lifetime. I got to experience the old Japan.

Michelangelo... Painting last judgement questions

  • The name of my artist is Michelangelo.
  • The title of the pice is The Last Judgement
  • The last judgement is a mural painting.
  • The last judgement was painted on the Sistine chapel wall.
  • The last judgement was painted between 1536 and 1541.
  • The last judgement is currently displayed in the Sistine chapel.
  • Michelangelo was an Italian renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art.

  • Michelangelo was known as the greatest artist of his time.
  • His full name is Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
  • His raised right hand compels the figures on the lefthand side, who are trying to ascend, to be plunged down towards Charon and Minos, the Judge of the Underworld; while his left hand is drawing up the chosen people on his right in an irresistible current of strength. Together with the planets and the sun, the saints surround the Judge, confined into vast spacial orbits around Him. It tells the story of judgement day.
  • I believe that Michelangelo try's to portray Anatomy and religion as the cherictoristics of the renaissance.

Short Story

The Life Of A Merchant

I am so happy that my family can service and live a great leisurely life. The middle class life is great! So great that I'm going to go see a movie. Just because I feel like it and my family can afford to watch one.

Wow that was a great movie. I might just get off of work early so I can spend more time with my family. I really love how much leisure time I have now.
