Dickens' A Christmas Carol and the Industrial Revolution
Besides being the secular story of Christmas time in an
urban setting, A Christmas Carol, tells the sacred story of
Christmas as well. With A Christmas Carol, Dickens initiated an
ongoing creative process in the Anglo-American imagination. As a
result of the Industrial Revolution and the growth and
development of cities people's lives changed drastically as they
moved from the life and traditions of the country into those of the
city. As industrialization continued, for many people in the city
living and working conditions worsened. As reports of horrible
working conditions increased so did the literature of social
concern for reform.. Prior to the publication of A Christmas Carol
the ideas and concerns of various reform bills sparked increased
debate over political and social issues. Whether or not Dickens
had A Christmas Carol specifically in mind, it is clear that the
Industrial Revolution was an important factor in making his
Christmas story a tale for the times.
Dickens was concerned about the working and living
conditions during the Industrial Revolution, when the book was
written. These are reflected in Ebenezer Scrooge. He is the
shown as the mean and hateful owner, who could care less if his
workers are well because he could always get more people. He
knew this because during the Industrial Revolution there were
more people than there were jobs, so people had to settle for
worse conditions because that was all there was. When two men

...ooge indeed changes his ways he can in a sense "spoonge
away the writing on the stone" and begin a new life. It is
significant that Scrooge promises that "the Spirits of all Three
shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they
teach". This statement is indicative of several Christian statements
of faith promising to live and follow the teachings of the "Three"
God, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit.
When we first met Scrooge, we are informed, and also
observe that he is cold, miserly, and bitter. However, after the
visit of the Ghost of Christmas future, Scrooge changes into a
generous and cheerful man. It is clear that something must have
caused a man who is really nice, turn into a mean and nasty
person, in this case it was the Industrial Revolution.

Charles Dickens wrote the novel A Christmas Carol because he believed that he can have an influence on the situation in England in the 19th century(Bio). He included the character’s greed and want that are a part of Scrooge during his visits with the Ghosts of Christmas.
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial cells grow in areas outside of the endometrium, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other pelvic regions. This ectopic endometrial tissue promotes an inflammatory response that produces the clinical features of the disease. The condition likely occurs due to various factors such as abnormal immunity, alerted hormone signaling, and genetics.
The definition of uterine prolapse is the uterus gradually descends into the vagina and often times takes the upper portions of the vagina with it. Most often a prolapse is caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. It can present at any stage but often comes in three distinct stages. Once it descends into the vagina walls it can continue to descend until it actually protrudes out of the vagina entrance. In the 1st degree the cervix is still inside the vagina. In the 2nd degree the cervix appears outside the vagina opening and the labia can become irritated and ulcerative. In the 3rd degree there is a complete prolapse outside of the body and it can contain the bladder, uterus and rectum. This condition is sometimes called a complete procidentia. It can be caused by a multitude of reasons. Multiple vaginal births, having larger babies, excessive straining from constipation, heavy lifting or being overweight, weak pelvic floor muscles due to lack of use, aging or going through menopause. Although uterine prolapse can happen to anyone at any age, it’s most common in women who have gone through menopause and for many of the reasons stated above.

The Supreme Court of Canada although is considered to be one of the most virtuous places for justice, but in some cases the law seems to take the wrong decisions, which very often affects the citizens of Canada and its states.

Mark Twain's lasting legacy is seen as all of the literature that he gave to the world. Great things have came thanks to this mans way of thinking. And the impact that he has left behind is a great way to understand what writing is truly about.
“After the passing of the Great Reform Bill, the liberal Whig leadership struck a snag. Several years of depression put the conservative Tories back in power in 1841. Wages and living conditions grew steadily worse as the industrial revolution permitted the rise of great fortunes for owners and employers along with starvation and poverty for great numbers of the working classes.” (Earl Davis, The Flint and the Flame, Page 115)
Endometriosis is when the endometrial lining of the uterus bleeds and attaches to other organs and healthy tissues in the body. There is no one organ endometriosis favors it had been known to attach to the bladder, bowel, intestines and fallopian tubes. All though it has been found in the lungs and heart.
...e women already are aware that they have this condition before they try to get pregnant. They usually know because they have experienced extremely painful periods, extremely heavy flows, and, in addition to pain during their menstrual cycle…” (Robertson, 2011).
During a normal menstrual cycle, the lining of your uterus thickens and then sheds when a fertilized egg doesn't attach, resulting in your period. But when this lining starts to grow outside of the uterus, like on your ovaries or inside the pelvic cavity, it becomes inflamed, grows, and essentially has nowhere to go, says Ghadir. The result is severe pelvic pain, usually during your period, along with significant scarring to the surrounding tissue. It may also lead to large cysts on your ovaries called endome...
The late eighteenth century was the beginning of a crucial turning point throughout Europe. In 1789, the people of France revolted against their government, proving that an absolute monarch did not hold all the power, and that citizens were not afraid to stand up for their rights. Known as the French Revolution, it lasted into the late 1790’s and paved the way for more freedom and equality among all citizens. Although this was a major movement for the future of European people in the nineteenth century, another equally significant accomplishment was beginning to unfold in England. The 1780’s marked the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in England, which led the way for tremendous population and economic growth throughout Europe.
