I need some assistance with these assignment. wester civilization: the italian renaissance Thank you in advance for the help! In the year 1347, a merchant ship that was traveling from Crimea, central Asia docked in Sicily at a place called Messina with a crew of sailors who were desperately ailing. In the process of taking them ashore, rats, with fleas infected with bubonic plague bacterium, also left the ship. This marked the arrival of the Black Death in Europe. Eventually, this plague, in its several shapes, would slay up to at least one-third of Europe’s population, instigating among the nobility fierce disastrous power struggles, peasant revolts, and economic depression. Nevertheless, a new spirit cropped up from this near-total disaster –the deaths caused an immense deficiency of workers with the demand for workers leading to an increase in wages. Serfdom became outdated and due to higher wages, many peasants’ living standards increased. Consecutively, there was the rise of wealthy merchant families that provided the incentive, resources, and money for the Renaissance. The medieval society’s exhaustion motivated northern Italy’s intellectuals to make a new start by creating a new civilization through pursuing rebirth and revival that would be referred to as the Renaissance. This drastic break with antiquity was just the start. (Brown, L. 2007).

This paper provides a discussion on the Italian Renaissance.&nbsp.

The word Renaissance, a French word that Jules Michelet, a French historian coined and which Jacob Burckhardt, a Swiss historian expanded in the nineteenth century literally means rebirth. It refers to a period of the humanistic revival of architecture, classical art, literature, and learning. We can also refer to it as a cultural progression that began in the fourteenth century in Italy later spreading all over Europe and that lasted through the sixteenth century marking the transition to modern from medieval times. According to Shannon, Renaissance is the transition era into the modern-day.&nbsp.

imitation and gender insubordination

I need some assistance with these assignment. imitation and gender insubordination Thank you in advance for the help! Butler (1989) tries to ask essential questions. For example, she asks, once the subject “outs” her- or himself, is that person “free of its subjection and finally in the clear?” (308). Or does the subjection continue? But what does the following mean, characteristic of Butler’s writing: “Can sexuality even remain sexuality once it submits to a criterion of transparency and disclosure ..” (309) For something to determine itself, some other must exist to make this determination, and what is it this other? This other is a “prior to” and it is the most interesting thing which Butler says, I believe. Her thought is easily confusing unless one grabs hold of that idea. She is looking for the prior and I believe she is asking does whatever the prior is establish sexuality or is the prior already a sexually determined object. There is a danger that coming out “reinscribes the power domains that it resists” and that it is part of the “heterosexual matrix that it seeks to displace” (309). One must try to locate the “framework that privileges heterosexuality as origin”. Butler would like to use the concept of the speech act (from philosopher John Austin) to say the way one creates being is the way in which one may create herself or himself. There is a difficulty perhaps always in this activity as one must ask who is doing the creating? From what position is the creating done, that of homosexuality or heterosexuality? I think it is important for Butler, because she wants to produce an original, defensible “I that is thoroughly lesbian or homosexual, without the pejorative connotation. But that is her very problem. the pejorative connotation is already tied into the words and their origin from the heterosexual point of view. Butler would like to reach a non-reflexive position that perhaps is neither heterosexual nor homosexual.

Butler has to establish, more or less a private language”, one that is not derived from the present language, because the present language already has the power relationships of sexual identities established in it – that is a man, and that is a woman. But Butler seeks “that grid of cultural intelligibility that regulates the real and the nameable’ (312).

Write a 8 pages paper on how to bring law and order to european countries. Except for treaties and international agreements, EU law comes mostly as regulations and directives intended to underpin the national laws of member states. Regulations are laws with general application, such that member states are under no strict liability to adopt them into national law. In the case of directives, that obligation is unconditional on the part of member states, although they can choose the form and methods by which to implement an EC directive 2.

These provisos in the new EU Constitution are highlighted by this paper in its discussion of how to bring law and order to European countries if the EU law relevant to a particular case contravenes the national law of a member state. if an EC regulation favors one national group over another. or if an EC law that could bolster a local case has no equivalent version in the member state that is hearing the case. In so doing, the paper presents two make-believe cases involving consumer welfare promotion and environmental protection, two areas of concern high on the agenda of the new Constitution as embodied in Article II-62 and Article II-97, respectively. Both areas need state legislation to give them real substance.

In 2006, EC issued Environmental Protection Directive 100/06 to all member states enjoining them to adopt its core provisions into national laws by March 25, 2006. The directive imposes criminal liability on anyone who keeps toxic chemicals&nbsp.in his property without sufficient safeguards to prevent leakage. If the stored chemicals, which were specified in the EC directive, escape into the atmosphere and cause harm to people, the offense carries a maximum fine of 150,000 euros or its equivalent. In the UK, authorities believed there was no need to enact a new law based on the EC directive because there is a similar environmental law already in place.&nbsp.&nbsp. In March 2007, or one year after UK member states were supposed to have introduced the EC directive into their own legal systems, a man named Simon fell ill after eating vegetable grown in his garden, which is adjacent to a warehouse of Otis Chemicals Ltd. that stored the chemicals identified in the EC directive.
