Pompeii Informative Speech

The Holocaust Museum in the Washington D.C. Mall is dedicated in memory of those who had died in concentration camps, but the memorial was very controversial at the time. Designers of it were afraid that it would “overcome the Mall and take away the main purpose of the museum” (doc E). While America was trying to memorialize those who had suffered in the Holocaust, was it appropriate to have such a building? America had “refused to lift a finger to halt the Holocaust or open our shores to the few survivors” (doc E). This raises the question, if part of the reason for this memorial is for

Since they don’t have the living people from the past here in the future. They have to piece together what they know about the past societies by their findings. They have to piece together what they find to know what they did on an everyday basis, what they ate and much more. When excavating a site

In the article “It’s Wrong to Play Pokémon Go at Auschwitz” by Leonard Pitts, Jr, he explains the disrespect that people have towards national monuments and how they should use common sense to know that playing a virtual game in honored sites is disrespectful. Pitts gives his reason in the essay on why it is disrespectful to play games in honored sites and why it should be stopped, but the lack of evidence that he give makes some people think the all he is trying to prove is nonsense and that what he is saying is not credible. In the essay Pitts gives very little evidence of people playing Pokemon Go at Auschwitz or even at other memorial sites where tragic events occurred. Pitts gives his own personal opinion in the essay instead of real

An organization needs to be aware of the location, material, and historical memories in remembering an event or person and in the creation of a monument. Finding the proper location to create a monument and memorializing an event or person is very important to take in consideration to prevent disrespect towards the monument. It is extremely necessary to find a “specially valued place set aside for collective gathering… ” (Source A). Furthermore, the respect for a monument is greatly needed to successfully memorialize an event or person.

If the world would take these considerations into account, we would have less problems with the impolite and disgraceful creation of disrespectful memorials and more amazing creations of mankind for the

In the article, Mt. Vesuvius: Day of Disaster by Lauren Tarshis, it talks about what happened when this massive volcano erupted, in Italy, next to a town called Pompeii. At the time, they did not know that it was a volcano, or that it was going to become one of the most famous eruptions in history. The author walks the reader through what probably was going on before the eruption, and also made it seem like the reader was actually part of the story. She also tells the reader some facts that a lot of people may not know, such as some information on what happened before the eruption. In the end, Mt. Vesuvius ' eruption was one of the most famous and destructive eruptions in history.

According to the text, “Should Auschwitz be left the decay” the author states, “It might be that... the best way to honour those who were murdered in the camp and those who survived is by sealing it from the world.” The presence of the camps, however, is not to torture individuals of the society, yet is there to enlighten future generations of the tragedy that occurred in the period of 1933-1945, that being the Holocaust. The people that suffered during the Holocaust perhaps lacked knowledge that could have prevented a mass extermination. Some may argue for all the remains to be buried and sealed away from the world because they feel as though it is taking a burden on individuals, especially the family of those who were victims of the Holocaust.

America’s First Immigrants 1.Explain the three theories for how the first Americans arrived in the western hemisphere; list evidence that strengthens and weakens each theory. A.The discovery of a well-preserved historic site in South America alludes to human life over one thousand years earlier than the original theory. •Three human footprints, two pieces of mastodon meat, and small samples of herbal medicine that originate near the Andes were uncovered. These finds are dated at least 1,000 years prior to the earliest clovis sites in North America. B.A radical theory argues that people from the Stone Age originate from Europe around the ice sheets to the western hemisphere.

Introduction This paper will analyze and compare the Egyptian Standing Figure of Osiris with Egyptian Mummy Coffin of Pedusiri, visual elements of Ancient and Medieval Art and Architecture works from the collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum. By comparing and contrasting these two works, we will be able to see the salient parts of each of them more clearly and can better understand the relationship between their periods, cultures, or artists. This comparison will also reveal how these two cultures view the human anatomy and human spirit in different ways.

The egyptians had felt that whatever was buried with, in, or around their tomb would be brought with them when they died. Historians can also learn from the paintings on the walls of the Pyramid which describe the deceased person 's life. This is important because it helps us understand how the Egyptians lived a long time ago (Primary

The Colosseum stands as a glorious but troubling monument to Roman Imperial power and cruelty. Inside it, for century’s people killed cold bloodedly as entertainment. It seems as if the buildings had gone from one type of extreme to the next. There was very much still a control of power but the values of each monument are different.

Do you know the name of this statue? It is an important symbol for American people. Let me tell you about it. This is the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in New York City.

Hello, and thank you for allowing me to speak to you today as an anti federalist. I will be speaking about why the constitution, in its current form, should not be ratified. I would like to start today with a quote from one of our papers “When a building is to be erected which is intended to stand for ages, the foundation should be firmly laid.” As anti federalists we believe that the way our constitution, the foundation of our nation, is being constructed is incorrect, and primarily only beneficiary for the aristocrats. Over time we have obtained information and experienced first hand how fragile our foundation really is.

Some argue that the monuments should not be damaged or tampered with anyway since, even though the person might not have been the best, it is a historical artifact which therefore, should be preserved. The conflict surrounds whether the monuments should be destroyed, stored (in a museum etc), or left to remain. Personally, I believe that monuments, if historical, should not be damaged in anyway, but left to remain, or in specific occasions, preserved in a museum. A monument being destroyed is going too far in some instances. Historical monuments should be preserved and studied.
