Social And Political Roles Of Women In Athens And Sparta

Saber and Scroll

Women in the ancient world had few rights. Those they had differed from country to country, or in the case of the women of Athens and Sparta, from citystate to city-state. There were profound differences in the roles that the women of Athens and Sparta experienced in their family, civic, and political lives. With respect to levels of power and the rights of women, Sparta was a leader in its time. At the same time, Spartan and Athenian women’s rights as citizens were similar. Their thoughts, deeds, and opinions were rarely recorded, or if they were, it was the ...

The Study Of Generations: A Timeless Notion Within A Contemporary Context, Lauren M. Troksa

Undergraduate Honors Theses

The study of generations has been timeless. Dating as far back as Plato’s time (428 B.C.E) to present-day (2016), scholars of all fields have used generations to study large trends that emerge over time in specific groups of people. Generations are not typically analyzed, however, in a way that reflects a more complicated and polarizing relationship between each generation. Seen especially in the post-World War II generations of the Silent Generation, Baby Boomer Generation, and Millennial Generation, each generation has a unique identity and culture within it, making it difficult for older generations to relate to younger ...

The Impact Of World War Ii On Women's Fashion In The United States And Britain, Meghann Mason

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

World War II (hereafter referred to as WWII) is a fascinating era in fashion, society, and politics. The fashion of the era was truly representative of the events happening in the world in a most visible way. This era made indelible marks on future designers and the science of fashion as the world knows it. Fashion and costume design were influenced and changed due to the many limitations presented and imposed by WWII. WWII represents a great marker of change socially, technologically, economically, and politically. While it affected the entire world, the main focus of this thesis will explore the ...

The Effect Of Nazi Propaganda On Ordinary Germans

Saber and Scroll

Germany during the Nazi regime under Adolf Hitler contained many incredibly unique aspects, which lend to the author’s desire to gain a better understanding of the actions of both the regime and ordinary Germans in the 1930s and 1940s. One of these aspects was the implementation of Hitler’s racial ideology through propaganda, resulting in a number of different programs, including a hotly protested euthanasia program, sterilization programs, and, most famously, the Holocaust. Hitler highly valued propaganda as a means to reach the masses, and he did so with aplomb, founding the Reich’s Ministry of Public Enlightenment and ...

Men And Women As Represented In Medieval Literature And Society

Saber and Scroll

Men and women in medieval epic literature are portrayed in a way that is contrary to the modern day ideals of male/female stereotypes. There are few examples of gender equality in medieval literature, or for that fact in medieval historical records. In the traditional epic, the ‘classical’ hero is masculine, violent, and aggressive; men exuded heroic knightly personalities while the classical females are portrayed as vessels of chastity, purity, and goodness. During the period of the Middle Ages and in its literature there are highly idealized views on manners, society, and morality. The works examined are fictional epics in ...

Women In History - Abigail Adams: Life, Accomplishments, And Ideas, Sharon K. Kenan

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Abigail Adams's fame derives in large part from her marriage to the second President of the United States, John Adams (Freidel, 1989). However, she also had attributes of her own that made her an interesting and perennially famous woman in the history of the United States. One of her most enduring legacies is the volume of correspondence she wrote during lonely separations from her husband while he handled the nation's business and left her alone with four children. Firsthand accounts of the period leading up to, during, and following the American Revolution are available through those letters (Withey ...

American Imperialism And The Philippine War, Daniel Jacob Panitch Wertz

Honors Theses - All

In this study, I try to answer the question of why the United States, at the end of the nineteenth century, suddenly embraced a policy of formal imperialism in the Philippines, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Samoa, then reversed course and implemented more informal imperial policies elsewhere in the world. I trace the evolution of expansionist thought in the United States from the Reconstruction era, focusing on writers and politicians such as Alfred Mahan, Josiah Strong, and Theodore Roosevelt, and argue that American actions in the aftermath of the Spanish-American war represented a culmination of this ideology. I then examine ...
