children were expected to learn how to read. Roman boys were taught to read and write‚ family values‚ law‚ moral principles and how to become a soldier. When you were a 16 year old boy in Rome you attended a ceremony where you received your “manhood” and your white toga. If you were a Roman girl education wasn’t that important. What mattered more were the lessons of taking care of your children and of the house. The Romans thought women were weak and needed a male guardian by their side when in public

In 1497‚ King Manuel ordered Vasco da Gama to go on an expedition in East Asia. The journey is a prime example‚ which demonstrated how gunpowder transformed Europe. His use of gunpowder allowed him to set forceful deals with other nations after destroying their navies with superior cannons and boats. Even though China invented an early version of the powder‚ they neglected the improvement of it‚ as they believed it was noisy‚ cheap and dirty business. It was the Europeans who found success with

Cosine Transform∗ Gilbert Strang† Abstract. Each discrete cosine transform (DCT) uses N real basis vectors whose components are π cosines. In the DCT-4‚ for example‚ the jth component of vk is cos(j + 1 )(k + 1 ) N . These 2 2 basis vectors are orthogonal and the transform is extremely useful in image processing. If the vector x gives the intensities along a row of pixels‚ its cosine series ck vk has the coefficients ck = (x‚ vk )/N . They are quickly computed from a Fast Fourier Transform. But a

Account for the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939 The outbreak of war in Europe in 1939 did not arise as a result of any one single event‚ but rather as a product of interconnected long term and short term issues. Early Nazi propaganda‚ the German policy of ‘Brinkmanship’ and the British policy of ‘appeasement’ resulted in a situation in which war was inevitable. Historians differ in opinions as to whether the outbreak of war in September 1939 was planned by the Nazi party‚ earlier than expected

Europe in the 1500s was a very active continent. Many of its residents tried to leave their mark on their own land. Others wanted to expand the power that they had. They were able to do both‚ and there are signs that show of their accomplishments even today. I believe Europe’s rise was certain. They had navigation skills and well-built ships‚ held advantages in the early encounters of the neighboring countries‚ and the drive to spread their way all over the world. That combined with their sheer drive

1. The underlying and precipitating causes of the Hundred Years’ War were a struggle for national identity as well as control of territory between the English and the French. King Edward III had land and power in France and the French King‚ Philip the Fair‚ wanted this land to be given back to France. The French and English both had advantages during the war. The French had three times the population of England‚ were a wealthier country‚ and they were fighting on their homeland. England’s primary

was apparent that none of the methods were very effective. To begin with‚ Prime Minister Bennett raised tariffs hoping to protect and encourage homeland industries and transferred large sums of funds to the provinces as relief. Unfortunately those did little to alleviate the economic crisis. Those were only temporally "treatment"‚ and were not long time solutions. To ease the Depression‚ the government also gave out relief in forms of vouchers which could be exchanged for basic necessities of life

To what extent‚ and in what ways‚ could World War II be considered a continuation of World War I In 1918‚ the French population referred to a certain war as La der des der‚ which in English was translated as “the war to end all wars”. This event was the First World War‚ the most widespread and casualty-filled conflict the world had witnessed to date. Unfortunately‚ they were wrong in saying this‚ for 21 years later‚ global bloodshed was about to begin anew in the Second
