New England was founded primary on the basis of religion freedom. Many of the people who were at new England left England because they wanted to perfect what the church of England was trying to do. In doing so they shunned and even exiled many people out of there way of life. The puritan way of life to many people seemed extreme and to others it seemed normal. They had set forth many laws and regulations in which some people might say is outlandish. They also waged war on Pequot’s, many argue that maybe it wasn’t a war but in fact a genocide. I am here to question and analyze these accusations and present evidence based on what I believe to be true.…
During the seventeenth century, in response to the change of; environment, social structure, family nature and society itself the diversities in the New England and Chesapeake cultures grew immensely. Some differences proved to be too much of a challenge for some and prosperous for others.…
In this picture, it depicts a man wearing a knee-high pant called breeches. These were common for a man to wear in the 17th century. Men also wore these pants with canions which were tight garments that extended from the waist to the knee, also common in the second half of Queen Elizabeth’s reign. As an undergarment and a base for most men, men wore hosen which was a close-fitting stocking. Some nobles even wore knitted silk hosen, which was of course more expensive. Garters were worn in order to hold up these stockings. A doublet was a close-fitting waist-length jacket with a short peplum extending from the waistline. Doublets were either sleeveless or with sleeves and had front and side closings. A peplum was a short, decorative skirting attached to the doublet.…
The Elizabethan society was very family oriented. The households consisted of more than just a nuclear family, but also servants, employees, workers and apprentices. The average household held around four to five but varied according to the social classes. People back then had closer working relationships than today. There was not as much division among people’s work and their personal lives. Nor was there much of a difference between their work spaces and personal spaces.…

Elizabeth I once said, “A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past” (WEW). Elizabeth I was the queen of England from 1558 until 1603, and had a goal of preserving English peace and prosperity (RRR). She was one of the few female monarchs that believed in making England better while she was in power so she does not mull over it later on. The Elizabethan era was named after Elizabeth I, which lasted for 45 years. This era is considered to be a golden age in English history because it was a time of temporary peace and prosperity.…
Elizabethan government has its similarities and differences with the US government now. First, the courts of the Elizabethan era are very different from the US branches today. Secondly, crime and punishment was not as enforced in the Elizabethan era as it is today in the US. Third, the branches of the US government contradict the ideas of the Elizabethan monarchy.…

In her article “The Hellenistic Family,” Dorothy J. Thompson seeks to demonstrate the ways in which changes in the Hellenistic family structure mirrored and influenced overarching societal trends. Additionally, she endeavors to illuminate the limited usefulness of applying generalized family models to the diverse and multicultural environment of the post-Alexandrian Hellenistic world. Through her implementation of a variety of primary sources (i.e., histories, stone inscriptions, papyri, ect.), Thompson presents a balanced and enlightening depiction of the Hellenistic family, which is both firm in its claims and cognizant of its limitations. By assessing the general arch of Thompson’s argument, this review will seek to illuminate both the successes…
Not many people know what the Dept. of Correction’s requires for parolees released from prison into the community. Approximately three months before an inmate is released back into the community the Dept. of Corrections does a RISK Assessment to determine how much Community Supervision will be required and what risk that inmate is to the community in which they are released. Most inmates that are required to service time on community custody have a one year to five year commitment to community probation. All inmates placed on community custody are required to fulfill drug treatment, drug urinalysis testing , office visits anywhere from once a month to daily reporting to their specified probation officer, and a verified release address that follow the guidelines of housing a released inmate. Upon reporting to your probation officer, they may require a urinalysis for illegal substances that is against the inmates release plan. The Department of Corrections uses an instant urinalysis test that reflects what type of illegal drug was consumed and if it was in the last 36 hours. This instant drug screen test has been determined by researchers to be inaccurate. Yet after many researchers agree there is an issue with the accuracy of urinalysis testing, The Dept. of Correction’s continues to use this method because it is cost affective. It is more important to cost less than to be accurate. Although urinalysis drug testing is cost effective, it’s inaccuracy makes it an unfair method of testing for parolees.…
How often do you see female prime ministers, househusbands, or lady soldiers? Although there are a larger variety of jobs and characteristics both men and women can possess in these modern times, gender inequality thrived in the Elizabethan era. Men were seen as the leaders who were brave and subject to war, whereas women were portrayed as their usual quiet self who are usually unable or not supposed to interfere with their husbands' affairs. Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth, employs the use of conventions to portray female characters as more dominant and controlling compared to males, challenging the naturalised notions of masculinity and femininity.…
The Elizabethan era was a time period centered around the life of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign (1558-1603). This period in time is considered the peak of English history and is the beginning of when people began to think and believe differently. That brought along changes in the way people dressed. How people, particularly rich ones, dressed was just another way for them to express themselves. Social classes are also very much prominent in the era. These social classes influenced the fashion of the Elizabethan era. This is shown in men’s and women’s clothes, shoes, hats, and accessories in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. (Whitmore, Deanne)…
My 10th grade U.S. History class at Center Point High School was presented with the challenge of producing a digital family history project. The digital device could be anyone they choose. Any point-of-view was acceptable, as long as it was relevant to their family. The rationale of this assessment was to allow my students to explore their family history and develop and expand their use of digital technology in the educational process.…
"The upper class women of the Elizabethan Era were very dependent on using their male relatives to help support them." The women were dependent on the men because men were support them. Only the men had gone to school so there wasn't any schools for girls.The Elizabethan women had been tutored at home because there were no schools for girls. Women also weren't allowed to enter University because there wasn't schools for women yet. The women didn't have the privileges that men had. For instance, unless the women were royalty, they could not be heirs to their father's title because it's not right." Women also could not vote and they weren't allowed to participate in politics, there weren't any women in the Army or Navy during Elizabethan Age."…
