Africana studies- Indian ocean research

This is a 20 page research paper on the Indian ocean world and the historical role of African women during the 18th-19th centuries.

The migrations of African-descended people has been documented and misconstrued throughout history for centuries. Africans have been traveling, both forced and voluntarily, through the Indian Ocean world for much longer than the documentation of the modern Atlantic slave trade. Along the eastern coast of Africa, countries such as Mozambique and Tanzania the import and export of many slaves occurred. It is the dynamic within these slave households maintained by women that is peculiar in a sense. Their gender role and overall influence and the complex of their agency in the context of slavery within the Indian ocean world is the topic of research.

Uses and Making of Ancient Egyptian Cosmetics

Uses and Making of Ancient Egyptian Cosmetics Ancient Egyptian cosmetics
Explain how they were used
How were they made?
Why they use cosmetics

Who uses the cosmetics? For the ancient Egyptians life was a celebration, and so, just as one would want to look one’s best at any party, personal hygiene was an important cultural value. The Egyptians bathed daily, shaved their heads to prevent lice or other problems, and regularly used cosmetics, perfumes, and breath mints. So important was one’s personal appearance that some spells from The Egyptian Book of the Dead stipulate that one cannot speak them in the afterlife if one is not clean and presentable, and it is clear this means in a physical sense.

Comparing Three Travel Narratives

Comparing Three Travel Narratives Stating your argument in the first sentence, what are the common themes between the three travel narratives?

2. Alexander Hamilton’s Narrative in “Colonial American Travel Narratives”
3. “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano” Written by himself and edited by Robert J. Allison
Please read all three narratives and compare a common theme using evidence. Mary Jane Maxwell, in her introduction to the February 2013 World History Connected Forum on “Travel Writers and Travel Narratives in World History,” drew attention to the ancient age of this tradition1 and to the many variations of travel narrative accounts now available.

The story of an invention in the age of scientific technology

The story of an invention in the age of scientific technology (eg. television, microwave, cell phones, i-phones)

As both symbolic and socioeconomic fact, nothing in late-nineteenth-century America rivaled the power of the railroad. Everybody and their brother wanted a better way to schlep it across the country. At best, you’d get to the West in a few months with a mule-pulled wagon or a pricey ticket on a steamship chugging around the tip of South America.

At worst, well, you might contract cholera, suffer from bouts of watery diarrhea, and die in the middle of Wyoming. So, when the final golden spike was hammered and the first transcontinental line was completed at Promontory Summit in the Utah Territory in 1869, the newly stitched-together nation shrank just a bit.

The coasts grew closer together as the outlying rural communities and the Great West were that much more accessible from the urban metropolises of New York and Chicago.

The significance of the burgeoning national rail network is hard to overstate in any history of the period, but here, we’re primarily interested in three aspects of the rail system’s tremendous historical impact.

On one level, the national railroad network provided the routes for the new national market for consumer and capital goods. Consequently, the railroad was a technological innovation that spurred more, faster innovation. And last but not least, the locomotive steaming across the country became a powerful symbol of technological progress and promise.

Nowadays, we’re more likely to choose a five-hour flight over a four-day train ride to get across the country, but completing the milestone left people wanting more cool stuff. The huge change shaped attitudes toward future innovations, including the automobiles that would emerge in the next century.

An aspect of Ontario Hydro’s history

An aspect of Ontario Hydro’s history (eg. origins, privatization, nuclear or alternative power)

Prior to 1885, the electricity market in Ontario was completely unregulated, in large part because electricity had not yet been invented at the time of Confederation in 1867, thus leaving the question of federal or provincial jurisdiction undetermined.

In 1885, after several disputes, a British decision affirmed the Province’s rights over a majority of the Canadian hydro flow at Niagara Falls. This decision effectively confirmed the Province’s jurisdiction over the entire electricity market.

By 1903, the economic potential of Niagara Falls was well understood. A massive hydroelectric project had been underway on the American side of the Falls since 1895 and created an economic boom in Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY. Three syndicates had been awarded franchises to generate power for Ontario from the Canadian side of the Falls. At the same time, 16 Ontario municipalities, including Toronto, were meeting to discuss the feasibility of generating power at the Falls and transmitting it to their communities.

Soviet space exploration program Essay

History of an aspect of the American or Soviet space exploration program.

The modern age of space exploration exists largely because of the actions of two countries who competed to get the first people on the Moon: the United States and the former Soviet Union. Today, space exploration efforts include more than 70 countries with research institutes and space agencies. However, only a few of them have launch capability, the three largest being NASA in the United States, Roscosmos in the Russian Federation, and the European Space Agency. Most people know of the U.S.’s space history, but the Russian efforts occurred largely in secrecy for many years, even when their launches were public. Only in recent decades has the full story of the country’s space exploration been revealed through detailed books and talks by former cosmonauts.
