DO ARTIFACTS HAVE POLITICS? [from Winner‚ L. (1986). The whale and the reactor: a search for limits in an age of high technology. Chicago‚ University of Chicago Press‚ 19-39.] No idea is more provocative in controversies about technology and society than the notion that technical things have political qualities.

COMPARISON OF SPEECHES The two speeches I have chosen are Adolf Hitler’s (Youth Rally – 1934) and George Bush’s (Evening of September 11)‚ I chose these two‚ because even despite the fact they are talking about vastly different things‚ they were both questionable men.

The ancient artifact that I’ve chosen for this assignment is very symbolic and had a huge impact on changing the Egyptian society. Long ago‚ the country of Egypt was separated into two states‚ Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. They were finally united during the Predynastic period by King Menes. The rulers of Upper Egypt wore a tall white crown called the Hedjet‚ while the rulers of Lower Egypt wore a red crown called the Deshret. In about 3100 BCE‚ political action by the two powerful leaders of the
