Mary Anderson's Innovators And Their Inventions
Such as in “Innovators and their Inventions” they did what they wanted too, they saw a problem and wanted to make a change to make life easier. Of course when they first started drawing out their inventions people probably thought they were crazy and were never going to achieve what they did, but then they proved them wrong in the long run of things and showed them that they could do what they put their mind too. Especially for Mary Anderson because she was a women in the 1900’s. She probably got a lot of hate from people because back then women were saw as to raise the children and clean the house. That’s exactly what she didn’t do she went out and thought of an idea and made that idea into a reality that now days is being used everywhere

    The assigned reading for Tuesday was a hard reading with some great points. The reading, “Fatal Invention”, by Dorothy Roberts, talks about how genetics played a huge role in how race began and was used to categorize people. The first great point made in this article comes on page 58, when the author states, “Some genomics researchers see race as a statistical grouping based on genetic similarity.” (Roberts, 58) The author is stating here that race ties into how similar people are genetically similar. This is a strong point, in my opinion, because it shows that race is something that defines you based off of you genetic make and where your genetics lead. The only problem with this point I see is that Darwin’s theory eliminates race because…

    Mary Pleasant, a Biography

    • 3120 Words
    • 13 Pages

    Mary Pleasant, also widely referred to as “Mammy Pleasant”, is the considered Mother of Civil Rights in California due to her work with the Civil Rights movement during the 1860s. She was an icon during the Gold Rush and Gilded Age San Francisco because of her political power, mainly due to her large fortune and as well as her influence, in the cause and in her fellow citizens. Her achievements as an abolitionist went unmatched until the late 1960s, during which other laws regarding slavery were passed; although her achievements were surpassed, it was her work that helped set off the chain reaction of events that led to the greater triumphs of the Civil Rights movement. Following the Civil War, Pleasant brought her battles to the courts in the 1860s, and claimed a handful of human rights victories. One of those victories, Pleasant vs. North Beach & Mission Railroad Company, was heavily cited and advocated in the 1980s, which is the main reason behind why Pleasant is known today as “The Mother of Human Rights in California”. Pleasant was a woman of half African descent. She helped shape early San Francisco and furthered the Civil Rights movements. Her ability to “love across boundaries of race and class without losing sight of her goal –the equality for herself and her people” is what makes Pleasant the person that she was, and is what makes of her what people see her for today, as The Mother of Human Rights in California. (Pleasant’s Story)…

    Ever heard of waist high pants, or maybe you heard of the infamous trench coats, probably not, these designs might be called ancient or retro, but most of them just blend into the fashion of the current generation or they have faded away. Most likely, these terms haven’t even been heard since the late 1960’s, or maybe even the 70s, the point is both of those terms were popular fashions in the 30s, these terms were known all over America and most likely owned by most of the male population. Boys tended to sport things that were more durable or whatever their family could provide for them, which tended to be a button up shirt and shorts that went up to the waist. The fashion in the 1930s was actually quite interesting, the style and the designs…

    According to Evans, women achieved a lot of things, but they weren't necessarily the same as the ones men achieved! " American women changed the meaning of public life itself. They did this over a long period of time while simultaneously shaping and adapting their own private sphere, the family, to changing times...women made possible a new vision of active citizenship unlike the original vision based on the worlds of small farmers and artisans" (Evans 3).…

    Transcendentalists

    Famous Transcendentalist writers such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, strongly believed in looking at everything your own way. They stress the thought of having a different perspective and strive to find your own voice because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Henry David Thoreau’s father was a big impact on his life when he was young because his father was the leader of the first protest at Harvard University in 1766 called the “butter Rebellion”. The Butter Rebellion was nothing more than protesting about the rancid butter quality, but what moved Henry was that his father was the first to ever express his true feelings, which was looked down upon at such a prestigious school. Even though Henry was not yet born, he was informed of this in his teens. This was the start to his writings and exerts. Thoreau said most men live lives’ of quiet desperation. He tried pressure other people to strike out and find new ground. Just when you think you know something, you have to look at it in a different way. Even if it is trivial or wrong, you must endeavor to find a diverse…
