Question 1: The cave art of the Cro Magnons featured multi-colored paintings of animals such as bison‚ cattle as well as mammoths. Also included are geometric figures as well as female paintings. The animals themselves appeared to be pierced with spears in a ritualistic way. To me the most plausible reason for these paintings is that the hunters believed this would bring them luck during their hunt which is seen in many cultures so It seems plausible that this would be the purpose for the paintings

James Wong Robber Baron ’s are Captains of Industry who are looked down upon for succeeding at the expense of others and at the expense of moral integrity. To firmly attach a label to any given person or people is difficult because the distinction between a robber baron and a captain of industry alternates with the point of view from which you hold. Leland Stanford and the Big Four of the Central Pacific Railroad are perfect examples of how there are contrasting arguments about their proper titles

The Allegory of the cave says that there is quite a different between appearances and reality‚ and I think that this statement could not be truer. When I hear this I think of the “perfect” family. A stay at home mom‚ a working dad‚ a daughter on the honor roll‚ and a son on the football team. They all go to church on Sunday morning and are well involved in their community. Their family appears to be so perfect to everyone around them‚ but that’s just because no one knows their realities. See the

The industrial capitalists of the late 19th century should be regarded “Robber Barons” for many reasons. One example was with religious places. Money corrupts anyone. Many people think that if they had that much power or money‚ then they’d only do good with it‚ and help everyone‚ but in the end‚ it corrupts them all. It’s human nature to want power and money and humans do what it takes to do so. One thing was that there was one church in pull man‚ and one-either of the population going to religious
