LondonDocklands
In this investigation I will be investigating if the hypothesis is
True or False and justify why.
Hypothesis:"All members of the community benefited 'equally' from the
redevelopment of London's docklands"
Introduction: My investigation is to investigate and justified whether
or not the 'hypothesis' is true or false backing this up with results.
In this investigation I will be doing the following to decide whether
or not the hypothesis: "All members if the community benefited
'equally' from the redevelopment of London's docklands"
Location: LondonDocklands is in the East end of London-England, UK
(Most Economic Developed Country). London Docklands is an area of
eight-and-a-half square miles stretching across parts of the East End
Boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets and Newham, stretching from the
north of the river Thames,-Tower Bridge to Beckton, ending in the
South of the River- from London Bridge to Surrey.

Why did Londongrow as a trading centre?
London grew as a trading centre because of the First World War. During
the First World War, the British Empire were conquering and expanding
the Empire. As the Empire grew, the trading market grew; this was
because Britain was expanding their trade with the rest of the Empire,
importing and exporting goods such as; gold, slaves, coal, food stuff.
Therefore Britain became the main trader in all the trade taking
place; and as London had the ideal location for trading (near the
River Thames) it not only allowed simple access for the traders, it
became the Capital and the "trading centre" for all trading taking
place.
With the trade market growing many Docks was built for the ships to
dock as a place for the trade their goods, look at the map below to
see the Docks.

What was it like to work in Dockland at those times?
Majority of dockworkers were employed on a temporary basis; all day,
half day, even an hour. Although some Dock workers were permanent and
worked full-time for dock companies.
The only landmarks available to the eye are dozens of miles of ocean waves, occasionally broken up by an ocean going freighter or container ship that might sometime plod past the area, on their way inbo...
Portchester Castle Portchster Castle is a concentric castle, dating from Roman times situated at the top of Portsmouth harbour. It has a 9-acre site and was built from flint and stone. The castle had bastions and a tidal moat, at the centre of the castle would have been accommodation. Portchester Castle was originally built by the Romans to protect the South coast of England from invasion by the Saxons. Portchester was one of a series of forts built around the country and was typical of Roman forts.
In the novel Grand Avenue. Greg Sarris uses the theme thread of poison to connect all of his separate stories about the Toms’, a Pomo Indian family. He proves that the roots of a family are the basis which gives the family its structure, even if those roots are bad. In the Toms’ family they’re roots were poisoned from the very founding of the family starting with Sam Toms’. His poison was not the fact that he tried to steal a married woman away, but that he was filled with secrets, deceptions, and self hatred. His family was founded on these poisened roots and passes the poisen down generation after gerneration. The only way to stop the poison, or inner self hatred taken out in other forms, was to let go of past and talk about the secrets and lies. Once a person does this they are able to learn from their mistake , in a sense the break free from the poison. If Sam Toms’ , the founder or root of the family,would have broken free of his poisen by talking about his mistake he made, his whole family per haps would have turned out completely different. As a result of his secrets and lies his family was rasied to make the same immoral desisions as he made throughout his life. His family, like Sam, didn't take responcilblity for their mistakes, which spread the poison onto the next generation. Tracing the poison throughout the Tom’s beginning at the roots, shows just how important the roots indeed are.
The London Borough of Newham The London Borough of Newham was created in 1965 out of the Essex county boroughs of East Ham and West Ham. These were rural villages until a century ago, and fortunately the medieval parish churches and a few other ancient buildings survive as a reminder of this rustic past. The area has always been a gateway between London and Essex, with farm animals and food produce being raised or passing through Newham for London markets and manufactured goods coming out of London to serve local needs. The availability of water power (the River Lea) and the absence of strict London guild controls saw Newham grow in the 17th and 18th centuries as an industrial area, with workshops - such as the famous Bow China factory - built along the Lea valley.
The London Docklands are a particularly unique area of London; the area possesses a rich history as a major seaport, but is also now home to one of London’s largest financial centers. In essence, the London Docklands are a junction where history collides with the present. Within this essay, I will discuss how efforts to conserve the past of the London Docklands conflict with its current development. One the one hand, the Museum of London Docklands (MLD) acts as a prime example of efforts to conserve the area’s rich yet dark history. On the other hand, the development of Canary Wharf, a financial power center, symbolizes the future of the area, with little to no attempts to preserve the Docklands’ history. I will use supplementary sources from
When one hears the word “union” the thought of coming together springs to mind and that is exactly what Union Station did. It was one of the many depots that connected the city of Dayton, Ohio with the rest of the country before highway systems even existed. During the time of its existence it was part of a movement that helped shape a nation to become one of the top powers of the world. Union Station was visited by many and helped change the face of a city.
When World War II ended in 1945 there are a few things that people have learned but also may not remember from history. The fears of having another nuclear apocalypse, in Germany, was a occurring thought every day during the Cold War. Beginning with after World War II the time period then was called the Cold War. After that, Germany was spilt into two halves, the Soviet and non- Soviet. Then, leading to a barrier that separated Germany, splitting families and ruining lives for the people; only due to Soviet wanting more power. Right after that, the separation had caused west and East Berlin to think they would be forever apart… permanently… during the Cold War; though rights and freedom changed over time for the people. Finally, the people of Germany evolved to the separation, but politics and the world around Germany changed and moved on to take down the wall. The rights of Germans on either side reflect on the political changes in their country, Germany.
Sinclair Lewis makes point of the efforts that Carol produces to reform her new home. These efforts can be perceived by the townspeople as unwelcomed and unsuccessful. Some of Carol’s ideas are ludicrous, out of proportion and not ready for the slow-moving town. She tries several different approaches to reforming the town from the moment of her arrival. She goes from architectural reform to poetic reform to artistic to introducing liberalism to amusing social functions. All of these tactics she hopes will spring forth a reform movement to beautify and culturalize the town and people. Her initial attempts at bringing the town out of its shell consisted of throwing fun and exciting parties. Such as her Chinese house-warming party on page 66. She plans this social event as a way to bring the people out of their normal funeral parlor routine of sitting in a circle and making small talk. For the moment she is successful, but soon after she implements sledding, skiing and skating outings, people begin to recoil back into their normal routines. Again, Carol is frustrated with the progress of the town, and she soon feels rejected by the social elite at the Jolly Seventeen club on page 78. Her attempts to open the minds of the Jolly Seventeen to the issues of the lower class, backfires into a discussion of foreign incompetencies and laziness. Her reputation becomes the antithesis of Gopher Prairie social beliefs and structure. After presumably months of social reclusion, Carol is coe...
Thornbury Castle The first part of the assignment concerns the characteristics of Thornbury Castle, and in particular its defensive and palace like features. Having visited the site, in my opinion Thornbury Castle displays both defensive and luxurious, palace like features. The Castle has the beginning of a ditch which could be argued as being a moat. Crennelations, machicolations, gun/arrow loops and portcullis grooves are all strong defensive features included in the building of Thornbury Castle. Arguably, the most defensive feature of Thornbury
The city is proportioned on a general east-to-west layout, accommodating the bay. The docks, easily twice the length of the actual city, cover the entire bay with 37 separate slips. The city of Dorma has few natural exports, but facilitates trade between various nations, making a steep turnover for itself. One of the few natural exports that the city boasts is grain. Having large tracts of farmable land located outside the city, Dorma has more than enough to feed its host of soldiers and citizens.
Airports can be considered as important national resources of most countries in the world. The main responsibility of an airport is in transportation of people and goods and in internal and global business. They are where the nation’s aviation system connects with other modes of transportation and where state responsibility for managing and regulating air traffic operations intersects with the role of governments that own and operate most airports. However, most major airports are owned and operated by the private sectors. This is due to several reasons such as to improve efficiency and economic performance, be more competitive as well as to maximize the community’s return from the airport assets in which public enterprise found out to be less efficient in term of its production and management.
Introduction: As I sit here pondering my thoughts of what to write for my I-search paper, that is due in five days, I cannot seem to get my mind off the warm weather. Back in December, I went on a cruise to the Bahamas, man that was the best weather on Earth! We stopped at a city named Freeport, which I knew nothing about. My mind craves the senses of the warm, tropical breeze, the salt water smell, and the smell of the sunscreen that is protecting the tourists on the beach from the scorching hot sun. Oh and don’t forget the warm sand between your toes.
When you associate anything with New York City it is usually the extraordinary buildings that pierce the sky or the congested sidewalks with people desperate to shop in the famous stores in which celebrities dwell. Even with my short visit there I found myself lost within the Big Apple. The voices of the never-ending attractions call out and envelop you in their awe. The streets are filled with an atmosphere that is like a young child on a shopping spree in a candy store. Although your feet swelter from the continuous walking, you find yourself pressing on with the yearning to discover the 'New York Experience'.
The city of Venice was built on the water; therefore the canals of Venice have always been an important part of the life of Venetians. Venice is a city of 120 small islands with over 400 bridges linking them. The more than 150 canals serve as streets of the city, making it unlike any other city (Kertzer). It is connected to the mainland, which is two and a half miles away by both rail and highway bridge (encyclopedia.com). Venice?s history as well as its state in the present revolves around the water and the canals that serve the city.
Washington Square In Putt's book Henry James: A Readers Guide, he speaks in a chapter about Washington Square. Within this chapter, he goes over the role that Catherine plays in the story. She ultimately chooses spinsterhood, and not to defy her father, and to be the good daughter. The theme of avoidance of marriage, spinsterhood, is something that is focused on by James in much of his work (Putt 46).
