Inventions: Most Important In US History

The 2008 presidential election saw a significant increase in voter turnout among young people, Blacks and Hispanics. This helped with Obama’s political campaign, for he had a strong connection with minority groups and young voters. With the increase in voting for the Democratic party in 2008 by Blacks, Hispanics and young people, Barak Obama became the 44th president of the

Progress is not something that comes very quickly. It is a gradual process that takes time, in the interest of our country and the Progressive Era, more than a decade. The presidents of this time, Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson, were like chefs developing a recipe for the betterment of the United States. Every act that was passed, each decision that was made, was a trial or taste-test of the constantly changing recipe for the country. If something angered citizens or drew criticism, the president went back to his office, his kitchen, and was ready to make more changes. Where he left off in the progressive recipe, the next chef took over. He would analyze what had been done, identified his plan of action, and then set to work by either making

In his speech he talks about how America needs to act on the things it promised to all citizens. He says that America is lacking dignity and they are not fighting for all to have freedom. He wants America to right wrongs, serve men, and do justice.

Believing we can make a change to solve America's problems. That every citizen should thank a soldier when they see one. He is a man who was raised in Montana in the back woods, and urges that people who try to make changes to other states. Where those people have never gone before shouldn’t. People from that state should decide if they want change or not, he sees what Trumps message is even if it’s a little blurry at sometimes.

If you were to have to choose one invention that had the largest impact on everyday life during the 20th century, the invention of the automobile may just have been the most important and impactful. Although the technology existed during the late 19th century to produce an automobile, had it not been for Henry Ford and his assembly lines, the automobile may have never been brought into the hands of the general population. With the expansion of the automobile industry came an economic revolution during the 1920s across the continental United States as thousands of jobs were created with the introduction of highway systems in 1921 with the Federal Aid Highway Act. The intent of the act was to create coherent highway networks using Federal funds

He addressed the realities of what happens when we don’t hold people accountable with public’s money. He addresses the issues that were on everyone’s mind. In contrast, Trump painted a very dark picture of America. Yes, there are a lot of parts of America that hasn’t recovered since the financial meltdown and drug abuse is on the rise. However, he didn’t address why those parts of America are failing and why the drug abuse is on the rise. Plus, Trump did not mention how well our overall economy is doing. Trump’s made it seem like America was failing behind and living in darkness and fear and he was their savior. Versus Obama who was honest about the challenges we faced and he offered hope and motivated us to work together to get back on top.

The election of President Obama marks the most noteworthy political accomplishment for African Americans in the United States during the post-civil rights revolution, thus bringing about a change in the country’s social and political landscape that was steeped in racial discrimination since the founding of this great nation. Because social and political conditions are subject to constant change, President Obama’s

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a vital figure of the modern era. His lectures and dialogues stirred the concern and sparked the conscience of a generation. The movements and marches he led brought significant changes in the fabric of American life through his courage and selfless devotion. This devotion gave direction to thirteen years of civil rights activities. His

There is no question that certain inventions have had a humongous impact on shaping our society today. They make our day-to-day lives uncomplicated and much more efficient. Inventions have completely changed our lifestyles, to the point where some people can't even imagine living without a telephone. With so many inventions in the world it's hard to choose which ones have had the most influence on us. But I believe the telephone, camera, and the airplane had the most impact on American life and industrialization.

Western civilizations took on many changes during the so called “long” 19th century (1789-1914). These changes were all thought out to be for the better. Some turned out productive and some did not, but even the mistakes led to progress. Sometimes you have to take two steps back to take three steps forward. Continuous progress only exists through setbacks because you have to know what is not right or not working in order to fix something. During this time of progressivism (political direction in favor of progress for a better future), breakthroughs in understanding of freedom, economic productivity, government roles, gender positions, entertainment, communication, and science and technology to improve standard of living altered

Since man began walking the earth millions of years ago we have been progressing. At first “the pace of change was so slow that entire cultural traditions replicated themselves.” (Wright, 2004, p.14) However, it quickly exploded and became a “runaway progression of change.” (Wright, 2004, p.13) We are progressing on an unprecedented level. New technologies are consistently being developed that change how we lived our lives. How we perceived the world around us and how we, in turn, impacted the world. This is not a problem if you believe in the Victorian notion of progress. “The assumption that a pattern of change exists in the history of mankind . . . that it consists of irreversible changes in one direction only, and that this direction is

What is progress? This is the question that has been raised frequently during our class discussions in the past few weeks. The truth is the definition of progress varies from person to person. Progression to some may be set-backs to others. The New England colonies were a major progression for the settlers that escaped religious prosecution. There, they flourished in a new land. The Native Americans might not have seen this as progress though, because the settlers were taking over their land. The same could be said for the word, ‘development’. For the sake of this essay, my definition will be, “the process of growth.” Just like progress, it has an ambiguous definition that can have good or bad consequences. The land and the people in North America experienced a lot of growth once the European settlers decided to make the New World their permanent home with the founding of Jamestown in 1607. During the colonial period through the 19th century, humans were the most important factor in the development of the United States. The people living through these periods helped develop the land we stand on today through the clearing of land, the hunting of animals, and

The events that took place in America on September 11, 2001 will have a lasting wound on this country forever. President George W. Bush’s speech, “A Great People Has Been Moved to Defend a Great Nation”, gave America something to have hope in. Bush was a republican president and was the 43rd of the United States and was a very passionate man. Although Bush had to make some tough decisions that very day, he was a president that made a lasting impact on America. Throughout Bush’s speech, he effectively covered pathos, ethos, and logos.

The two statements I chose from President Obama’s speech are “You made me a better president, and you made me a better man” and “Because I know our work has not only helped so many Americans; it has inspired so many Americans — especially so many young people out there — to believe that you can make a difference,” these sentences stood out to me the most, they resonated with me. When I first listened to President Obama’s speech I was astonished by his remarks, his speaking skills have always kept me in awe. Inspiring me to be a better person in general, Obama’s words “You made me a better president, and you made me a better man,” gives me hope and encouragement in a world full of uncertainty. He possesses attributes a President should, he was
