The Darker Side of Exposition An exploration into the unseen side of world fairs. “Expositions are the timekeepers of progress. They record the world’s advancement. They stimulate energy, enterprise, and intellect of the people and quicken human genius. They go into the home. They broaden and brighten the life of the people. They open mighty storehouses of information for the student. Every exposition, great or small, has helped this onward step.” President William Mckinley 1901 Contents
El Cid was an astonishing hero. His nickname, El Cid Campeador, means many things. El Cid means “my Lord,” and Campeador means “the Warrior,” which was a title for a man. His real name was Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. He was a military leader, and a nobleman from Castilian. He conquered Valencia and was part of the Reconquista meaning reconquest. The reconquest occurred by the northern Christian kingdoms and on Moorish Spain there was an onslaught. He is mainly know by his works of literature. El Cid was
Both The Poem of the Cid and The Song of Roland were written in a time period where great new developments were occurring in Europe, but none more crucial than the beginning of the Crusades and the ethnocentric viewpoint they propagated and were propagated by (Quinn). Of great interest is the manner in which both works deal with the nature of pluralism in European history. For the sake of this essay, pluralism will be defined simply as a state of more than one. Both works, written at approximately
world--marched into the city of Puebla on May 5, 1862, expecting no resistance. The French army consisted of 6,000 men under the command of Marshal Lorencz. The French were met by an armed force of 2,000 peasants under the command of General Ignacio Zaragoza. The Mexican guerilla forces successfully defended their positions and attacked and drove back the French forces. Victory, however, was short lived. Within a year, France had successfully conquered Puebla and the rest of Mexico, and went on ruling

May, 1808, that have as great an impact today as when they were created. Goya was born in the small Aragonese town of Fuendetodos (near Zaragoza) on March 30, 1746. His father was a painter and a gilder of altarpieces, and his mother was descended from a family of minor Aragonese nobility. Facts of Goya's childhood are scarce. He attended school in Zaragoza at the Escuelas Pias. Goya's formal artistic education commenced when, at the age of 14, he was apprenticed to a local master, José Luzan,
Memory impairment could refer to a weakening of memory traces, or a clouding of memory, or an intrinsic impoverishment of memory. McCloskey and Zaragoza were against the memory impairment hypothesis.(1985). They argue that misleading postevent suggestions do not affect the availability of originally encoded information. Their hypothesis stems from empirical work using a modified paradigm in which
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes Francisco de Goya was born in 1746, in Fuendetodos, a town in the Spanish province of Zaragoza. Goya in his early teens remained in Zaragoza and began studying painting and became a student of Jose Luzan y Martinez, a local artist who trained in Naples and later became a student, in Madrid of the court painter Francisco bayeu. He departed from Jose later on and moved to Madrid, where his brothers were and he continued to work in their studio. Goya saw an opportunity
The story of Ryan Ferguson is a bizarre case that many find difficult to comprehend. In 2001, a murder was committed and although DNA evidence was left behind, no suspects were found. The case became cold, until two years later when an anonymous call came saying that the murderer was Charles Erickson. Apparently, Chuck Erickson blacked out the night of Halloween and thought that he may have committed the crime because he was in the vicinity of the scene. When interrogated his story was loose and
try to recall it. The goal of this paper is to explain misinformation effect, false memory, and effect of memory distortion. Misinformation effect happens when the recall of episodic memories become less accurate because of post-event information (Zaragoza 36). 1 “The new information that a person receives works backward in time to distort memory of the original event.” 2 In other words new information that comes into our brain will go back and change what we thought of the original event. I think

Billions of people around the world are experiencing income inequality, poverty, and discrimination which leaves long term destruction to their families. The Pearl, written 70 years ago by John Steinbeck, portrays racial discrimination and class differences. These themes are displayed through a family native to Mexico living on the coast of Baja, California who are treated poorly due to their class, race, and economic standard. Seventy years later discrimination is still transpiring. The Pearl by
contemporary historical upheavals, influenced many important painters in the centuries that have followed. Francisco Goya was born in March 30, 1749 in Zaragoza, Spain. At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to Jose Martin Luzan, who was a local painter. He then went to Italy to continue his art studies. Years later when he returned to Zaragoza in 1771, he painted frescoes for the local cathedral. These works, which were done in the decorative rococo tradition, established Goya's reputation. In 1773

When we retrieve and reconstruct memories, distortions can creep in without explicit external influence, and these can become pieces of misinformation. When misinformation is accepted and incorporated into a person’s recollection, it increases as a function of the delay between the witnessed event and exposure to misinformation, presumably because memory for the original event becomes weaker over time (Loftus et al. 1978). According to Wayne Weiten (2010), the definition of misinformation effect

It also explains how it is being an immigrant, and how it is to grow up in the United States as in immigrant and how had it is, and the obstacles that as in immigrant we have to overcome.
