Research Question : Is America the new Atlantis?

In the book The New Atlantis it describes Mr Bacon's and many others in any of the Order Of The Quest secret societies, ideal vision of a perfect Utopian society. The Book was written in 1623 and released after his death in 1627. Mr. Bacon was a Lord Chancellor and Attorney General of England, during an elightenment movement while Queen Elizabeth was Queen is when he was most active in his work. There is a interesting bit of information in the introductory note in this book it says. "The plan and organization of his great college lay down the main lines of the modern research university;" (Bacon 4-5). As if to say all those in academia are working to fulfill this vision whether they are aware of it or not. Mr. Bacon also called himself the herald of the New Age.
The reason I chose this book is to show that Mr. Bacon had a vision and plan to set up a place where this could be carried out and that secret societies are still working to fullfill this vision. It is not an easy undertaking since it is by it's very definition a secret plan by secret societies. There is no easy place to look for this information and the halls of acedemia do not help much in this area. I have found in this book that Bacon did believe that America was the New Atlantis or possibly was the Atlantis of olden tales. "and the great Atlantis, (that you call America,)" (Bacon 26). Even the street layout of Washington D.C. seems to show some kind agenda that these societies believed.

...ing to the question. I myself do not believe Shakespeare wrote the works that are credited to him. This man that they don't even know if he was educated wrote the greatest works of all time and they were found after he was dead never shown in his own handwriting and the handwriting of him that does exist looks like someone that could barely spell his own name. Not one letter exists of the greatest literary of all time either to or from him and did not execute any plays written by him while alive? Magically invented at least 1500 new words for the English language and used around 20,000 words for his works. Only a brain dead retard would believe this. Would any one person use 20,000 words even if they wrote many volumes of books? I believe this was the work of the Knights of the Helmet, headed by Mr. Francis Bacon. To further a future nation with a refined language.

In this book, Bauerlein argues that technology as a whole has had the opposite of its intended effect on American youth. According to his argument, young adults in the United States are now entirely focused on relational interactions and, in his view, pointless discussions concerning purely social matters, and have entirely neglected intellectual pursuits that technology should be making much simpler. He calls on various forms of data in order to prove that the decline is very significant and quite real. This book is meant to be a thorough and compelling study on the reality of what technology has caused in the U.S.

Godfrey Hodgson believes that the ideal for the American Exceptionalism stands for its great principle (rule of law, rights protection, constitution, and sovereignty of the people) that protects it from any political crisis that hit other great countries (xvi). He goes further and suggests that ideology was involved in establishing the exceptional character of American civilization (7). However, his purpose in writing the Myth of American Exceptionalism is to dispute Perry Miller’s (1905-1963) assumption of “the uniqueness of the American experience.” Essentially, he argues that the exaggeration of the American experience and destiny is extremely dangerous, “because they are the soil in which unreal and hubristic assumptions of the American history have grown” (16). That is to say, the American experience is less exceptional than it seems. He offers two counter arguments. First, the history of the United States is connected to the history of Europe. Second, the social and political ideals, especially democracy and liberty, have come into existence after a struggle as anywhere else (Hodgson 16). For him, it is true that American history has distinct and original features; yet, it is also true that America always been greatly influenced by European

In this article, the editors discussed the social trends and how they can change in nature of father involvement. They tested how children today will make their expectations taking upon a role of mother and father. Increase in father absence is associated with poor school achievement, reduced involvement in labor force, early childbearing, and high risk-taking behaviors. In addition, boys without fathers will experience problems with their sexual orientation and gender identity, school performance, psychosocial adjustment, and self-control. The editors differentiated the girls by how affected they were without fathers.

This source is a research paper on a experimental investigation done on women in a published journal. In this investigation, three groups of women are exposed to fashion with brand names. The three groups were one with no labeling, one with a short warning label, and one with an explanative warning label. The investigation showed that the group with a short warning label felt the less body dissatisfaction and were able to recall more of the brand names whereas the group with an explanative warning label couldn’t be bothered to read the whole labeling and the control group (without any labeling) both felt a greater level of body dissatisfaction.

This article argues that there is a clear understanding of what crimes the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) measures. Citizens and the police are both in general agreement about what a serious crime is as it involves many different factors that make it a serious crime. The police and citizens are both part of the decision making process when classifying an incident as an index crime. The decision making process involves the following steps that are taken: defined by the victim, determined by the police, obvious accounts for most of the changes in whether a crime should be reported and officially recorded, personal characteristics of the offender, and the effects suffered by the victim. Studies show that crimes are reported to the police because the victim was greatly affected by the crime committed. Studies even show that not all crimes are reported to the police because the victim has a reason not to. I intend to use this article for my research to for my research project to explain why victims would report or not report a crime to the police.

This annotated bibliography is made to explain the most arising question in the modern world of science and technology about the Robotic behavior as human beings. From many years, people have been striving to make a machine program which can analyze and do things like humans, and they have accomplished many miles in doing so, but according to latest reviews they are far away from achieving the purpose. The most common question which arises before developing any intelligent algorithm is, how humans do things they do, how humans see things, how they think, how they classify between objects and how every part of the body functions. For example if we consider image, then there are intelligent algorithms which can categorize objects and people
Francis Bacon was born on January 2nd, 1561, in the city of London, England. Bacon was educated at home in his early years due to poor health. He received tuition from an Oxford graduate and by the age of 12, he entered Trinity College in Cambridge. For three years, he lived with his older brother Anthony Bacon. Bacon’s education followed curriculum of the medieval ages and was directed largely in Latin. He first met Queen Elizabeth at Cambridge, who was impressed by his intellectual characteristics and called him The Young Lord Keeper. A year after he enrolled at Gray's Inn, Bacon left school to work under the British ambassador of France. Two and a half years later, he had to abandon his mission and return to England because of his father’s unexpected death. Fortunately, Bacon landed a job in the House of Commons, and was able to complete his education. He held a position in Parliament for about 4 decades, and became extremely dynamic in politics. Bacon ended up surpassing his father’s achievements and was promoted to one of the highest political positions in England. After retiring, he able to focus on the philosophy of science, and was determined to change the face of philosophy. Bacon applied his knowledge and focus to methods of perceptible truth, and emphasized communication and experimentation. His ideals and values sparked the industrial age, and his theories had a major influence on 17th-century European science. Francis Bacon’s opinion on the correlation between religion and science, his way of thinking towards reason and experience, and his views and impacts on the importance of education were his main contributions towards humanity and the theories of philosophy.
