Modern day and the Elizabeth Era Elizabeth era had swords, broadswords, and rapier. Modern day we have guns, tanks, knives and Tasers. One evidence about the Elizabeth era having swords is “During the early years of the Elizabeth era, swords were the choice in weaponry”. One quote they use modern day is “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” In my opinion I think weapons are really not needed but the government enforces the rules.
We use more dangerous weapons now and we have police officers who watch over us and protect us. An example of the consequences are if you rob someone or car the cops will look for you and use force to get you and take you to jail or prison. I agree weapons are more dangerous these days because technology is advancing every year. One weapon quote they use modern day is “Guns don't kill people, people kill

People back then in the 1984 would just walk around and do chores and everything by themselves. Modern day people work for other people to earn money to buy what they need or whatever they have enough to buy. Elizabeth era people had a high regard for a family in a community. Modern day we have a low regard for having a family in the same community. I think modern day jobs are a lot harder but it's better because money can help us with our benefits.
In the 1984 they had different kinds of clothing we probably don’t even use modern day. They used wool, cotton, and leather in the Elizabeth era and modern day we still use most of the materials but different designs of clothing. One quote they use back then is “If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shabby philosophies”. Modern day we wear nice sweater in the cold and t-shirts when it's hot, uniforms for work and jerseys for athletes

    I spotted the light flickering by the doorway in the entry hall, signaling that someone was at the door. Another poor innocent soul, soon to be murdered by General Zaroff. I stepped up to the large wooden door, grabbed my black, long-barreled revolver and turned the brass knob. I looked upon the visitor with great curiosity, as he was naked. The revolver was pointed at his beating heart. His eyes showed a slight glimmer of fear, yet he gave a reassuring smile. His mouth began to move and I could only make out two words. Robber and yacht...…

    During the late 1500s, there were two great powers fighting for superiority. Both King Phillip II of Spain and Queen Elizabeth I of England were contending for the greatest empire in the world. At that, both of these rulers were drastically different in how they carried out policies. One of the biggest policies during the time was religion. During this time, the church was splitting with the protestant sect. of Christianity taking Europe by storm. Henry VIII formed the Church of England in an attempt to marry again, making the country protestant. This would cause a great sir in England as previously it was a catholic country and even a bigger stir when his daughter Mary tried to convert the country back to Catholicism. By the time Elizabeth took reign, she would make the country protestant but, very lenient towards Catholics. Phillip was drastically different when religion was concerned. His nickname was “The Most Catholic King” referring to his dedication to Catholicism. It would prove to be a great part in the reason why he would send his armada in 1588. Foreign policy was another difference between the two countries. England had a policy of not interfering with foreign affairs unless it was against their interests. This policy includes aiding the Spanish Netherlands in a failed attempt to stop the Spanish and also financially aiding pirates to raid Spanish ships. Spain was mostly about preserving Catholicism in Europe. Some examples are a failed attempt to help the Guise family route out the Protestants in France during the French civil war and even more notoriously was the disastrous 1588 Armada, losing two-thirds of his navy. This would definitely mark the end of the Spanish being the greatest empire in Europe. By the end of both King Phillip II of Spain and Elizabeth II of England, Europe would be greatly changed. Spain would no longer be the greatest super power of Europe and England would start its rise to power.…

    Elizabeth I once said, “A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past” (WEW). Elizabeth I was the queen of England from 1558 until 1603, and had a goal of preserving English peace and prosperity (RRR). She was one of the few female monarchs that believed in making England better while she was in power so she does not mull over it later on. The Elizabethan era was named after Elizabeth I, which lasted for 45 years. This era is considered to be a golden age in English history because it was a time of temporary peace and prosperity.…

    The fashion is still worn today, and is used the same with both men and women wearing it. Men also started wearing necklaces, fur coats, and print trousers, which were borrowed from women’s fashion. Fashions in the 1960s reflected obsessions of money(“Dress”). Fashion was less formal, rigid, and expensive. The people who wore the fashion were considered as “anti-fashion ists” because of the new looks, and both men and women being able to wear the same kind of clothes.…

    Most crimes are committed with guns. “The FBI’s crime in the United States estimated that 66% of the 15,517 murders in 2000 were committed with firearms.” If it was harder to get your hands on a gun, over 50% of the murders that occurred wouldn’t have happened. “According to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) in 2000, 533,470 victims of serious violent crimes (rape and sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault) stated that they faced an offender with a firearm”(“Almanac of Policy Issues”) . Maybe if guns were not involved, the number of people that were hurt would not be that big. For example, in Philadelphia, Pa. at Wissahickon Park at 8:30 a.m. a 17 year old girl was attacked by a man while running, but she got away (“NBC10”). Coincidently he didn’t have a gun. I think if he had a gun, then most likely she wouldn’t have…

    If weapons were banned, that is, putting gun control into effect, the people who follow laws won’t be able to protect themselves from people who don’t abide by the laws. The main purposes of fire arms is self- protection and hunting. So don’t enforce gun control/laws because they only affect the law abiding citizens. The law abiding citizens may need their weapons to protect their family from the non-law abiding citizens or they need them to put food on the table because, they may not have enough money to afford meat. Then they wouldn’t be able to get enough protein and there is enough starving people in the USA/World. (wacotrib.com)Weapons is one of the best ways to bond with family/friends. Facts show that youth who spend time with their family have more common sense. Since they have more common sense they won’t go crazy. So having a good relationship with family is a good…

    Thesis for Gun Control

    Weapons are tools used for a variety of reasons weather it’s for safe guarding material that is highly pilfer able or protection of a family home. Guns are tools that should be treated and handled with respect and should not be abused or misused by any means. It is a privilege as well as a right that a person may own a weapon if he or she should decide to do so. I support the right to own and bear fire arms. I understand that if weapons get into the wrong hands tragedies can be a result. I believe that there should be stricter laws for those who have commited felonies, have been a respondent to a restraining order, committed assault, or any other hanous crime. I understand that crime will never cease in this world but that should not be the factor to make an infringement to the Second…
