Twentieth Century Southern Italy
728 wordsOnly thirty years after the Piedmontese army marched into Rome to unite Italy under one government, the country suddenly found itself on the brink of the twentieth century and a rapidly changing world.

Germany is one of the most nationalistic cultures on the planet. Losing World War I was like a slap in the face to them. Germany, because of the Treaty of Versaille...

Individual Liberty Private Property

In contrast to Marx's class struggle, this 'struggle between liberty and authority' (p 59) from Mill is more amiable. In the current era of democratic nations, however, since the ruled are also the rulers, the opposition no longer exists. People feel that all actions taken by the people's government will be good for the people, and hence they lose the old vigilan...

Seventeenth Century Sixteenth Century
583 wordsThe diminutive scale of Bernini's S. Andrea al Quirinal e and Borromini's S. Carlo illustrates the fallacy of the notion that massive size is the leading characteristic of seventeenth-century architecture. Vast complexes such as the sixteenth-century palace of the Escorial and the eighteenth-century palace at Caserta are a reminder that grandiose scale was not a monopoly of the Baroque. Yet it is undeniable that the taste for the very large is everywhere in evidence at this period, and that Baro...

19 Th Century Poor And Working Class
