What importance does social class have over population as a whole, has it’s importance changed and if it hasn’t will it ever change?

The Setting for Thomas Hardy's The Withered Arm and Other Wessex Tales In the following essay I seek to show evidence of how Thomas Hardy was acutely aware of the social status of people, how village and town life was conducted, how men and women reacted to their own sex and to each other and the part religion played in people's daily lives. Social class is raised a lot in Hardy's pieces. Even though these stories were all written at a different time and then put together

A secondary influence on this decision derived from U.S. economic interests abroad and

The Sinking of the Lusitania On the 7 May 1915 at 14:30, then 240 metre long and 27 meter wide ship the Lusitania sunk to the sea bed. Despite the fact that so many were killed, 1,195 people, this ship has not become one of history’s most well known vessels, unlike the Titanic.

's next nightmare. The Battle of the Atlantic was "the only thing that ever frightened me." Winston Churchill. As an island Britain needed to bring in a vast amount of food and military equipment to survive the war. The German submarine force (U-boats) severely damaged our ability to survive the war - hence Churchill’s quote above when he feared we would be starved out of the war. A great deal of our raw materials came from America and therefore had to cross the Atlantic. In normal times this

battle of thought. The second world war was a war on all fronts, waged from coast to coast and mountain to valley. From the icy fjords of Norway to the arid deserts of North Africa, German steel had transformed a world in dissent in to a world at war. U-boats ravaged the Atlantic, Panzers blitzed through France and Poland, and the armies of the fatherland forged an empire of such a size that it rivaled that of the ancient roman empire. The pride of a broken people, marshaled by the onslaught of hostile

Walther Schwieger, commander of the German submarine U- 20, who had fired a single torpedo 750 yards away from the ship, later called it the most horrible sight he had ever seen. The Lusitania entered service between Liverpool and New York on September 7, 1907. Funded by the British Admiralty, the Lusitania

Probably the most important incident happened on 7th May 1915 when the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania were sank by German U-20 led by Capitan Walther Schweiger with one torpedo hit and a second explosion triggered by coal dust and other explosives within 18 minutes. About a thousand people lost their life, among them about 100 Americans. Hence American protest were quite sharp and this incident dragged the United States into the war. However the incident itself contains some unexplained mysteries

Cost Analysis of Tables for Annual Booksale Summary The Friends of the Metropolitan Library System can save approximately $4,400/year by owning and storing tables for the booksale instead of renting. If the Friends used the Old Sort Site warehouse, with a small external storage site, the savings could grow to approximately $5,600/year. Wondering why the Friends did not supply their own tables, I asked several other vol- unteers about the subject while at the 2016 Booksale. The most common reason
