The Role Of Prince Ruperts Drop In The 17th Century
The Prince Ruperts drop has puzzled people for hundreds of years. In the 17th century, Prince Rupert of Germany brought a few peculiar glass drops to King Charles II in England. The head of the glass drop is stronger than steel and can withstand the impact of a bullet. The tail on the other hand is the achilles heal of the glass drop. It is so fragile that it can be snapped in half, but breaking the tail causes the entire drop to shatter into dust like pieces. The glass goes through changes of matter.

    A Bridge to the 18th Century

    Building a Bridge to the Eighteenth Century By: Neil Postman Neil Postman identifies himself as a "neo-Luddite". What bothers Postman most is the fact that the great innovators of this time have no frame of reference other than their own experience, and that experience is only that of the 20th century. Advocates of trends such as information superhighways and economic globalization appear to know nothing of history, philosophy and culture; they live digitally in the hollow present. Postman assesses different ideas in each chapter: Chaper One: A Bridge to the Eighteenth Century Postman heralds the accomplishments of personalities of the 18th Century, including Goethe, Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Kant, Hume, Gibbon, Paine, Jefferson, Franklin, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and Haydn, among many others.…

    How The Extent Of Power Changed In The 17th Century

    The events and sentiments that ran through 17th century England were perhaps as paradoxical as Charles the 1st’s head being sewn back to his body after his execution. This era saw a polarization of thought, action and outcome in regards to several events, people and institutions. The height of this polarization existed between the monarchy and the parliament, as questions arose in regards to the extent of power the king could wield, and the extent of power Parliament was willing to allow the king to wield. The two ends of the power spectrum were absolute monarchy , which gave the king unlimited powers, or “royal prerogatives” according to the Stuarts due to their “divine right” to exercise it, and the other a constitutional monarchy , where…

    Revolution In The 1700s

    The revolution was very different but also very similar for different types of people in the 1700s. When comparing the meaning of revolution for men, woman, slaves, and Native Americans you have to consider that they all were fighting for the same reason, freedom. The meaning of freedom is very different for each class or groups of these people but they all ultimately had the same goal of gaining their freedom. When considering the consequences of the revolution, It’s important to consider how it effect each group of individuals and understand the diversity during this time. Without the diversity we saw in the 1700s I strongly believe the revolution would not have had the same impact on today’s society that it did.…
