Americas push towards industrial growth, and technology demanded that the subsequent progressive reforms were needed for a society ushering in a new era. At the same time, fear and reluctance to abandon tradition and religious custom acted as the pulling factor.

  • Korean Dog Eating Tradition

    1186 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Korean practice of eating dog meat has always been considered a peculiar tradition by foreigners. In recent years, this tradition has come under increasing pressure from animal rights activists, including Bridget Bardot, who wish to see the practice outlawed altogether by the South Korean government. This controversy came to a head in 2002, when activists convinced FIFA to put pressure on South Korea, the co-host of the World Cup, to ban dog meat. William Saletan discusses this controversy in his article ?Wok the Dog,? in which he makes an interesting and well crafted argument supporting the Korean practice. In this article, Saletan effectively deconstructs the opposing arguments and makes the strong counter-point on logical, moral, and emotional grounds, that the movement to outlaw dog meat in South Korea has an undercurrent of cultural arrogance and even racism.

  • Korean History: The Choson People

    1522 Words  | 4 Pages

    Korea is considered one of very few homogenous cultures within the world. With the exception of a population of about 20,000 Chinese immigrants located mostly in the city of Seoul, people of both North and South Korea identify as ethnically Korean, all sharing a common language and culture, with a slight sense of regionalism between different parts of the peninsula. (Soh, 2006) The people of the Korean peninsula either call themselves Korean or Choson. The names used to identify themselves come from the two longest lasting dynasties in their history, the Koryo dynasty, which ran from 935 to 1392, and the Choson dynasty, which lasted from 1392 to 1910.

In fact, Sanger and McCorkmick were adamant that contraception be entirely in the hands of women (May, 109). The whole purpose was to provide women with the ability to decide when and if they wanted to conceive, and that they should otherwise have a safe and effective means to prevent it. Women had come along so far in their right to be heard that what the pill had done to liberate them and give them control of their bodies was no longer enough in and of itself – it should be men who suffer the side effects just as much, if not more than they. It certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort; a safe, non-permanent male contraceptive was researched and tested quite extensively, but to no avail.

Democritus who was born in 460 BC and died 370 BC and is known as the father of modern science. Democritus proclaimed that everything is made up of atoms.

He also said that iron atoms are solid and strong and have hooks to lock them together, water atoms are smooth and slippery, salt atoms have sharp jagged edges because of its taste and air atoms are light and spiralling.

  • The Birth Control Movement During The 1900's

    1912 Words  | 4 Pages

    The birth control movement took place during the early to mid 1900s. The movement was a social reform to gain women the reproductive rights they were denied of. The use of contraception or discussing contraception, as well as practicing abortion, was frowned upon and could result in an expensive fine or arrest. During the nineteenth century, women gave birth to more babies than their families could care for. Women were taught to please their husbands, regardless of if their families could afford them or not. Women were told right from wrong by men, who were always superior to them. Women did not have rights to their bodies, the use of contraception, or abortion, for what was said to benefit the country. Society mainly followed the idea of puritanism,

  • Book Review: Korea Old and New: A History by Carter J. Eckert

    1147 Words  | 3 Pages

    The book I chose for this book review assignment is titled Korea Old and New: A History by author Carter J. Eckert along with other contributing authors Ki-baik Lee, Young Ick Lew, Michael Robinson and Edward W. Wagner. The book is published at Korea Institute, Harvard University in 1990. The book consists of 418 pages and it is more of a survey of Korean history and reference type of book, rather than selected readings on modern Korean politics. I chose this book because it is a complete survey of Korean history from the ancient Choson period up to the economic boom of the 1990's, a span of over 2000 years. Each chapter covers a different period, but they all share the same organization of describing the social, cultural, political, philosophical and scholarly aspects of the period in respective subsections. This made it easier to later refer to previous chapters and compare different periods in order to learn the comprehensive history of Korea.

  • Ernest Rutherford and The Gold Foil Experiment

    743 Words  | 2 Pages

    Before Rutherford’s Geiger-Marsden experiment the most popular model of the atom was the “plum pudding model” developed in 1904 by the person who also discovered the electron in 1897, J.J. Thompson. It was the most common model of the atom and stated that electrons (plum) floated around with free movement in a mass of positive charge (pudding), hence the name “plum pudding.” There were no other sub-atomic particles in the diagram, as they had not been discovered at the time of J.J. Thompson’s model of the atom, however it was know that the atom has neutral, so Thompson’s theory of the positive cloud substituted protons. There were several problems with Thompson’s model, including the lack of a nucleus with protons, which lead Thompson and other scientists to believe that the atom had electrons to balance out it’s positively charged nature and give the atom a neutral charge. Although this theory was widely accepted, some scientists theorised that Thompson’s model was incorrect, one of them being Hantaro Nagaoka who countered Thompson’s model with the argument that opposite charges cannot infiltrate one another, so the positive charge held by the atom must be focused in the nucleus and the electrons would revolve around the outside. Rutherford’s experiment would prove Nagaoka correct, ...
