Chapter 8 Review “Discipline or Warriors are not always solders” In reading this chapter I came to acknowledge a lot facts that I didn’t realize about the British Zulu war. The battle at Rorke’s drift, and the battle at Isandhlwana are the chapter main focus in book Carnage and Culture. It gave multitudes of information that went well in detail about the battles. After reading the chapter, and researching the information on the war, and comparing the information presented by Victor Davis Hanson I found the information insightful and correct. He backs up his statements with facts and explains how western military forces were so dominate because of tactics, discipline and technology. The first set of facts that Victor Davis Hanson goes …show more content…
The Zulus displayed discipline at the battle at Rorke’s drift and the battle at Isandhwana. Depicted early in the chapter by Victor Davis Hanson he explains what discipline the Zulu worriers displayed by crawling through grass, and thorn bushes to get to the British while their guard was down. That took incredible discipline. In the battle at Rorke’s the Zulu warriors show discipline as well. The Zulu warriors marched so may miles and went days without food or water and waged war with the British. It also took disciple for the warriors to keep fighting British solders that they heavily outnumbered as well when they were still dropping like flies in the field. The discipline displayed by the British at the battle at Rorke’s drift was outstanding to say the least. With the injuries and the numbers they had it was by beyond belief that the 139 British solders with 35 wounded and 80 sharp shooters that they won. It took incredible mounts of discipline and focus to take down 4500 charging Zulus that came from 3 different locations at Rorke’s drift(Hanson pg. 296). The British didn’t back down, didn’t fold, and Victor Davis Hanson depicts that well in this
The story of the “Fighting Fifty-Forth” is a true testament of how when a country is in war or a time of despair they can ban together as one ,regardless of race to achieve an objective. Although they were treated unfairly and discriminated against, the 54th regiment paved the way for equality of not only African-American soldiers but for all African-Americans.
Before 1925 recordings were made with an acoustical horn that would capture the sound of the musicians in front of it and transferred the vibration to a cutting stylus. No electricity was used. This process was called the acoustical process. In 1925, microphones were introduced to transfer the acoustical energy to an electric signal, which fed the cutting stylus. This electrical process ameliorated recordings sound.
a. Railroads in the late nineteenth century helped America become the richest industrial nation on earth. The railroads increased commerce and integrated the American market as well as helped national brands to emerge such as Ivory soap and A&P grocery stores. They also introduced time zones to make shipping and passenger travel more standard. The railroad was the first modern publicly traded corporations, the companies were large and expanding across the country. Railroad companies had a large amount of employees. Capital was needed to build railroad tracks so stocks were sold to the public such as wealthy tycoons such as Vanderbilt and Carnegie. The Railroad system was also a symbol of the partnership between national government and industry. The railroad would have never been created without legislature, land grants passed out by congress. An example would be the Central Pacific Railroad it was backed by wealthy tycoons including Leland Stanford, the ex-governor of California who had useful political connections, and Collis P. Huntington, an adept lobbyist. Railroads gave land th...
This is shown through how the jungle warfare that took place at Kokoda was unfamiliar to the troops; the dense shrubbery hid enemies from sight, consequently forcing the soldier to constantly be on alert (Mason 2014, p. 175). This demonstrates the sheer bravery of the soldiers to persevere through these circumstances. Paul Ham, an Australian historian and journalist, corroborates this in Kokoda (2010) as he states that mental collapse was rare and only 10-25% of small hand and foot wounds were found to be intentional (Australian Government Department of Defence 2012). This reveals the strength of the soldiers in the face of heavy pain and grief. A soldier’s diary from the Kokoda track campaign provides a first-hand account of the time. Although biased to the Australian perspective, he provides a useful description of the warfare at Kokoda, stating, “bullets everywhere - hell on earth amongst the clouds” (State Library of Victoria 2018). The phrase ‘hell on earth’ evokes the sense that the warfare was abhorrent and horrific. This evidently displays the courage of the soldiers who persevered through the adversity they experienced. Moreover, an example of this courage is presented by the Victoria Cross quotation for Private Bruce Kingsbury, a soldier at Kokoda during World War Two, which states, “he rushed forward, firing the Bren Gun from his hip through terrible machine-gun fire and succeeded in clearing a path to the enemy. Continuing to sweep enemy positions with his fire and inflicting an extremely high number of casualties… then seen to fall to the ground shot dead” (Australian Government Department of Defence 2012). Kingsbury’s exhibit of initiative as he acts without thinking and blindly attacks, gaining significant progress for the Australians and ultimately making the greatest sacrifice, clearly demonstrates his immense bravery and courage as
Chapter 18: Israel expresses his feeling about what the boat was named, and ask Paul for it to be changed to something better, because the boat name reminds him of imprisonment, which reminds Israel where he have been the last few times when he was captured by authorities. When thinking that he could not find a replacement of the name, he yelled out “Poor Richard”, and Paul agreed with it and stated that “In honor of him saying that ‘God helps them that help themselves,’ as Poor Richard says.” (Melville, 131) A while after, it was renamed Bon Homme Richard. They traveled near the Cheviot Hills, which is between England and Scotland. When arriving in Scotland, Israel was put in the Pisa of the Richard to watch out for any man that comes into Scotland. Israel explains that his adventure so far with John Paul Jones comes from
Chapter Four gives a developmental perspective of addiction. There are multiple developmental theories that are used to understand the stages of life and how addiction is perceived in each stage.
On Sunday, February 9th the a cappella group, Chapter 6, performed at the Hoogland Center for the Arts for their twelfth anniversary concert. Chapter 6 is made up of six men who are all extremely vocally talented and many of them are from central Illinois so it was a significant concert for them. The group uses at six part harmony for all the songs and they have three tenors, one of which does almost constant falsetto; two baritones, who do a majority of the percussion sounds; and a bass who can be almost always counted on to be singing the steady bass line. Chapter 6 used a combination of well-known music and humor to appeal to the audience and entertain many different types of people with different interests.
1. Aspects of cultural geography: This is a field which focuses on spatial aspects of human cultures, which is spilt between cultural hearths and cultural landscapes. Cultural hearths are the crucibles of civilization that changed regions, mainly due to cultural diffusion. Understanding the cultural diffusions allows geographers to study the migration patterns of civilizations. Cultural landscape is the landforms that a culture creates. Physical and cultural geography interact in unity.
What I find interesting in chapter 14 is the diagnosis and treatment section. The reason I find this section interesting is because I think it's amazing how new technology is introduce to the medical profession constantly to help with patients care. This allow health profession to diagnose illnesses and to treat them more effectively. For example, we can diagnose the size and location of a tumor cancer through PET or CT scan. Then there's 3-D ultrasonography that create 3-D images of various organs and structures. There's also surgery techniques that allow incisions of a 1/2 inch or less, which reduced postoperative pain, hospital stays, costs, and enable patients to return to normal function much more rapidly. This make me feel happy because
“The Lady with the Dog” was written by Anton Chekhov and depicts the story of Dmitri Dmitritch Gurov who accidently falls in love with a woman named Anna Sergeyevna.

Yaghjian deals in this chapter with how to write a theological reflection paper (TRP) well along with “rhetorics of process, problem solving and proclamation” (18). The beginning of this chapter memo is not simply an “academic exercise” but rather a good instruction to write TRP well. The author admits that there is no such model of writing Theological Reflection Paper, because different writers write a reflection paper depending on their specialization. To write a Theological Reflection Paper is to have a clear understanding of what does it mean to be “theological reflection” and the reason of writing their reflection in their particular context. Determining writing what type of paper also essential in writing reflection paper.
The battle at Isandlwana stunned the world and is historically acknowledged as a demoralizing defeat for the British against a less technologically advanced indigenous force. Prior to this battle, it was unfathomable that a Zulu Army primarily equipped with then low-tech weapons, could defeat a conventional fighting force. Not only did the Zulus defeat the British troops (that were fully armed with modern rifles and artillery); they completely destroyed an Infantry Battalion in only 11 days. The complete loss of a battalion of British Army troops challenged the British to fully understand the capability of the Zulu Warriors to defend their land which forced the British Military to adjust their strategy accordingly.
Liszt was a pianist who played a piece one time and then he “began to transpose simple passages into octaves and thirds, trills into sixths and to add phrases on his own until, in Brorodin’s words, what emerged ‘was not the same piece but an improvisation of it’” (Perenyi 205).
