The morale of the animals is in steady decline. They are still shocked from the executions for their comrades. Clover thought she remembered the 6th amendment said, â€Å"No animal should kill any other animal†. However when she asked Benjamin to read it he refused. She then enlisted Muriel to the task; she stated that the commandment said, â€Å"No animal should kill another animal, without cause.† The animals just accepted that they were mistaken, and that they just forgotten the last two words of the commandments. This is all they could think, as nobody possessed any proof of how it had been. Throughout the year the animals worked even harder than they had worked in previous years.

This being because, any fortune or positivity on the farm was directly correlated to napoleon, the same way that they attributed any misfortune or treachery to Snowball; Just as Stalin used this against Trotsky. In place of beasts of England—which was now forbidden to sing—Napoleon enlisted Minimus to compose a poem to highlight his superiority. Comrade napoleon: Friend of fatherless! Fountain of happiness! Lord of the swill-bucket! Oh, how my soul is on Fire when I gaze at thy Calm and commanding eye, Like the sun in the sky, Comrade Napoleon!

This general message of this poem is the absolute superiority of â€Å"There Leader† Napoleon. They even go on to say that Napoleon is like the sun in their sky because he lights their soul

Marriage and Children Husband: Daniel Parker Livermore (married May 6, 1845; Universalist minister, newspaper publisher). He was Mary Rice Livermores third cousin; they shared a 2nd great grandfather, Elisha Rice Sr. (1625 - 1681).Children:Mary Eliza Livermore, born 1848, died 1853Henrietta White Livermore, born 1851, married John Norris, had six childrenMarcia Elizabeth Livermore, born 1854, was single and living with her parents in 1880 and with her mother in 1900 Early Life of Mary Livermore Mary Ashton Rice was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on December 19, 1820. Her father, Timothy Rice, was a laborer.  The family held strict religious beliefs, including Calvinist belief in predestination, and belonged to a Baptist church.  As a child, Mary pretended at times to be a preacher, but she early began to question the belief in everlasting punishment. The family moved in the 1830s to western New York, pioneering on a farm, but Timothy Rice gave up on this venture after just two years. Education Mary graduated from Hancock Grammar School at age fourteen and began studying at a Baptist women’s school, Female Seminary of Charlestown. By the second year she was already teaching French and Latin, and she remained at the school as a teacher after her graduation at sixteen.  She taught herself Greek so that she could read the Bible in that language and investigate her questions about some of the teachings. Learning About Slavery In 1838 she heard Angelina Grimkà © speak, and later recalled that it inspired her to consider the need for women’s development.  The following year, she took a position as a tutor in Virginia on a slave-holding plantation.  She was treated well by the family but was horrified at a slave beating she observed. It made her into an avid abolitionist. Adopting a New Religion She returned to the north in 1842, taking a position in Duxbury, Massachusetts, as a schoolmistress. The following year, she discovered the Universalist church in Duxbury, and met with the pastor, the Rev. Daniel Parker Livermore, to talk over her religious questions.  In 1844, she published A Mental Transformation, a novel based on her own giving up of her Baptist religion. The next year, she published Thirty Years Too Late: A Temperance Story. Married Life Religious conversation between Mary and the Universalist pastor turned to mutual personal interest, and they were married on May 6, 1845. Daniel and Mary Livermore had three daughters, born in 1848, 1851 and 1854.  The eldest died in 1853.  Mary Livermore raised her daughters, continued her writing, and did church work in her husband’s parishes.  Daniel Livermore took up a ministry in Fall River, Massachusetts, after his marriage. From there, he moved his family to Stafford Center, Connecticut, for a ministry position there, which he left because the congregation opposed his commitment to the temperance cause. Daniel Livermore held several more Universalist ministry positions, in Weymouth, Massachusetts; Malden, Massachusetts; and Auburn, New York. Move to Chicago The family decided to move to Kansas, to be part of an antislavery settlement there during the controversy over whether Kansas would be a free or slave state.  However, their daughter Marcia became ill, and the family stayed in Chicago rather than proceeding on to Kansas.  There, Daniel Livermore published a newspaper, New Covenant, and Mary Livermore became its associate editor.  In 1860, as a reporter for the newspaper, she was the only woman reporter covering the Republican Party’s national convention as it nominated Abraham Lincoln for president. In Chicago, Mary Livermore remained active in charity causes, founding an old-age home for women and a women’s and children’s hospital. Civil War and the Sanitary Commission As the Civil War began, Mary Livermore joined the Sanitary Commission as it expanded its work into Chicago, obtaining medical supplies, organizing parties to roll and pack bandages, raising money, providing nursing and transportation services to wounded and sick soldiers, and sending packages to soldiers. She left her editing work to devote herself to this cause and proved herself to be a competent organizer.  She became co-director of the Chicago office of the Sanitary Commission, and an agent for the Northwest Branch of the Commission. In 1863, Mary Livermore was the chief organizer for the Northwest Sanitary Fair, a 7-state fair including an art exhibition and concerts, and selling and serving dinners to the attendees.  Critics were skeptical of the plan to raise $25,000 with the fair; instead, the fair raised three to four times that amount. Sanitary Fairs in this and other locations raised $1 million for the efforts on behalf of Union soldiers. She traveled frequently for this work, sometimes visiting Union Army camps at the front lines of battle, and sometimes going to Washington, DC, to lobby. During 1863, she published a book, Nineteen Pen Pictures. Later, she recalled that this war work convinced her that women needed the vote in order to influence politics and events, including as the best method to win temperance reforms. A New Career After the war, Mary Livermore immersed herself in activism on behalf of women’s rights – suffrage, property rights, anti-prostitution and temperance. She, like others, saw temperance as a womens issue, keeping women from poverty. In 1868, Mary Livermore organized a woman’s rights convention in Chicago, the first such convention to be held in that city.  She was becoming more well-known in suffrage circles and founded her own women’s rights newspaper, the Agitator.  That paper was in existence just a few months when, in 1869, Lucy Stone,  Julia Ward Howe, Henry Blackwell and others connected with the new American Woman Suffrage Association decided to found a new periodical, Woman’s Journal, and asked Mary Livermore to be a co-editor, merging the Agitator into the new publication.  Daniel Livermore gave up his newspaper in Chicago, and the family moved back to New England.  He found a new pastorate in Hingham, and was strongly supportive of his wife’s new venture: she signed on with a speakers’ bureau and began lecturing. Her lectures, from which she soon was making a living, took her around America and even several times to Europe on tour.  She gave about 150 lectures a year, on topics including women’s rights and education, temperance, religion and history.   Her most frequent lecture was called â€Å"What Shall We Do With Our Daughters?† which she gave hundreds of times. While spending part of her time away from home lecturing, she also spoke frequently in Universalist churches and continued other active organizational involvements.  In 1870, she helped found the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association.  By 1872, she gave up her editor position to focus on lecturing. In 1873, she became president of the Association for the Advancement of Women, and from 1875 to 1878 served as president of the American Woman Suffrage Association. She was part of the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union and the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. She was president of the Massachusetts Woman’s Temperance Union for 20 years.  From 1893 to 1903 she was president of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association. Mary Livermore also continued her writing.  In 1887, she published My Story of the War about her Civil War experiences.  In 1893, she edited, with Frances Willard, a volume they titled A Woman of the Century. She published her autobiography in 1897 as The Story of My Life: The Sunshine and Shadow of Seventy Years. Later Years In 1899, Daniel Livermore died.  Mary Livermore turned to spiritualism to try to contact her husband, and, through a medium, believed that she had made contact with him. The 1900 census shows Mary Livermores daughter, Elizabeth (Marcia Elizabeth), living with her, and also Marys younger sister, Abigail Cotton (born 1826) and two servants. She continued lecturing almost until her death in 1905 in Melrose, Massachusetts.

Corporate Social Responsibility At Adam Smith s The...

Introduction The subject of corporate social responsibility raises a peculiar, yet necessary question if its concept is to be understood: why do businesses exist? There are several was to answer this question, but none comes as close enough as the content contained in Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations. According to Smith (2005), all individuals work for their own interests. This is affirmed by Hodgson (2004), who states that opportunism defines the transactional world of economic man. In the years gone by, businesses restricted the purposes of the existence of business solely for profit making. However, with the dawn of the 20th century, according to the International Institute for Sustainable Development (2013), businesses and corporates alike have realized that they are part of the society, and as such, can no longer operate in isolation. This concept is referred to as Corporate Social Responsibility. This report establishes that corporate social responsibility is important because it enhances the brand image, differentiation, and reputation of the business; increases stakeholder loyalty; decreases operating costs; and results in employee engagement and motivation.

The Representations Of The Warzone - 1028 Words

The representations of T.I.’s â€Å"Warzone† are described as the Discourses of the symbols used. The cultural Discourses of T.I.’s work operate in a way such that they draw upon the way things are in society (Hall 29). Discourses are hegemonic when they operate in this way, meaning that they coincide with the common-sense ideologies of the established order in society (Gitlin). What makes a hegemonic ideology hegemonic is its ability to permeate the institutions of society. By this definition, ideologies of gender are hegemonic because they are arbitrary and successfully implemented in society’s institutions. To elaborate further, there is no particular reason why men and women need separate restrooms, but this is typically the nature of public restrooms in the United States. â€Å"Warzone† primarily challenges hegemonic ideologies of race while simultaneously perpetuating such ideologies. â€Å"Warzone† is both hegemonic and counter hegemonic through its discourses on black inferiority and its cultural Discourses pertaining to hip-hop. In the lyrics of â€Å"Warzone†, T.I. addresses how the hegemonic ideology of black inferiority permeates through societal institutions of law. T.I. raps, â€Å"The war on drugs was just a war on us / Give us all these guns, give us all this dust / Change all them laws, lock all of us up†.

Appeasement Policy- Failure Free Essays

Appeasement was the policy adopted by the British and French prime ministers in 1930s towards Germany. The aim of which was to settle international quarrels by satisfying Germany’s grievances, thereby avoid the resort to war which in other words, maintain peace. There are several reasons to why the appeasement policy was adopted. We will write a custom essay sample on Appeasement Policy- Failure or any similar topic only for you Order Now Such as, Britain and France were both suffering from economic depression and thus felt that they could not afford to spend a large expenditure on arms to combat Germany. Besides, there was a feeling that the treaty of Versailles was too harsh towards Germany and it was reasonable to reduce the policies. The appeasement policy was based on the idea that what Hitler wanted was reasonable and when his reasonable demands had been satisfied, he would stop. However it gave Hitler the confidence to demand more land, such as taking over Czechoslovakia, another step towards the Greater Germany. Later on Hitler demanded the Polish Corridor and Danzig in August 1939, which eventually resulted in war. The appeasement policy fueled Hitler’s actions to further devalue the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler broke the treaty of Versailles by sending troops to Rhineland, in addition to that Germany united with Austria which was originally banned in the Treaty of Versailles. At the same time, Germany gained time to build up their armed force and gain more military power. The policy aggravated Hitler’s ambitions and aggressions; he decided that Britain and France were unlikely ever to oppose him by force. Germany attacked Poland which at last led to WWII. If France and Britain had stood up to Germany then Hitler would not have been so bold in what he was doing. If they did not adopt the appeasement policy, they might be able to force him to back down without a fight or defeated Germany in a much shorter, less destructive war. Instead they kept giving Hitler what he wanted, hoping to appease him, which ended up Germany getting stronger and stronger until defeating her required a catastrophic war. In conclusion, the appeasement policy was not effective in maintaining peace; instead it aggravated Hitler’s confidence and aggression which in the end led to WWII.

Differing Views On Reconstruction Essay Example For Students

Differing Views On Reconstruction Essay By 1866, several distinct positions on Reconstruction emerged. These were divided into three opposing camps: Conservatives (democrats), Moderates, and Radicals. The Conservatives believed the South should be readmitted into the Union as soon as possible, but the Radicals and Moderates believed there should be consequences for succeeding. The question of what those consequences should be separated Radical from Moderate. The answer to this question was as related to how important each side believed it was to enfranchise African Americans into this country (socially, politically, economically, and culturally) as it was in exacting an appropriate punishment for the treasonous South. Although the two Republican factions disagreed on several aspects of Reconstruction policy, they both understood that the Conservative approach to Reconstruction could never be enacted. The Conservatives lead by President Johnson, believed in a rapid readmission, into the Union, for the defeated Southern states. Johnsons stipulations were solely that the states ratify the 13th Amendment, and repudiate Confederate war debt (thus making it null and void). A second more controversial measure to the democrats plan for rapid reconstruction was the issuing of pardons to former Confederate officials, landowners, and generals. As a direct result of these pardons, former plantation owners land was returned. The goal of the Conservatives during Reconstruction was obviously to return the South to the social, political, and economic structure of the antebellum period. The Conservative plans for reconstruction allowed the former Confederate leadership, which led the South to war to regain high ranking political positions. This made the Republicans fearful that the South would eventually move down the path of war with the Union. Furthermore, it also proved to the South that there were no consequences for succession. This was unacceptable to both Moderates and Radicals. In their eyes the South had committed treason and should have to suffer the consequences. However, Johnson never tried any of the Confederate leaders on charges of treason. The obvious answer to why the Conservatives wanted to enact this policy were because they were the ones guilty of succession. This was their way of protecting their self-interests. Before the war, Conservatives dominated Southern politics. After Southern succession they made up the majority of the Confederate government. However, the less than obvious answer was that they saw preserving the status quo antebellum as the only way to allow the Southern economy to one-day flourish. Considering that many conservatives were former slaveholders they enjoyed some vested interest in preserving the system. The Conservative plan for reconstruction infuriated the Radicals. If the Radicals were given the right of way then The Civil War would have been fought in vain. Radicals proposed confiscating Confederate land, and distributing it to freed African Americans or poor whites. This, according to the Radicals, was the only way the Southern hierarchical system could be toppled. Confiscation would remove the planter class from the position of power it had held for several hundred years. However, the Radicals also had self-interests in the reconstruction process. They knew that by shifting the power structure from planters to free blacks and white Unionists the Republican Party would remain the dominant one in Southern politics. The Radicals leader was the fiery Thaddeus Stevens. Stevens pushed for the full equality of African Americans time and time again. He also wanted the South to be reconstructed in the Norths image. Thaddeus Stevens said, in an 1868 speech, we must hold them like clay in the hands of a potter.
