Louis Daguerre
1. twentieth century? I think that the hardest part about using cameras before the twentieth century was having to work with the more complicated cameras before consumer-friendly, Kodak Brownie and 35mm cameras were made. I believe that since most cameras before the twentieth century were owned by professional and enthusiastic amateur photographers, and not by the general public, it would be harder to work these earlier cameras because they were more complex and required a considerable amount of knowledge and experience to operate them.

    The poem is well known for a number of reasons. The extensive judicial scene gives a degree of insight into the legal system of the period, which is also well documented from a technical point of view in various Anglo-Norman texts of Henry I and Henry II of England. In contrast to Marie's other lais, such as Guigemar and Le Fresne, nothing is made of the mistress's intellectual or spiritual qualities. Rather the description is of the opulence of her wealth and her beauty.…

    The evolution of photography, from the very beginning to the modern technology we have today, is largely due to a few select specialists that took the matter into their own hands. Many discoveries were made about photography during the late 1800’s and into the 1900’s, but none greater than the discoveries of Ansel Adams. Ansel Adams made a huge impact on photography because of his technological advances, environmental work, and how he won the hearts of many with his beautiful works of art.…

    Denis Diderot

    He was the brightest light of the French Enlightenment. Denis had a lot of intelligence. He spent a lot of times trying to answer these questions: why are we here?...why is there a universe?... why is there anything at all? Diderot strongly supported experimental methods in philosophy and science. He believed that nature was in a state of constant change. He studied history and a developed a great fear that knowledge would continue to destroyed by the Christians, who was know for destroying libraries, burning books, ripping paintings, and torturing anyone who voiced an unorthodox thought. He then made the Encyclopedie, a history of what was known. It took 35 volumes to get it all together. The impact of the Encyclopedie was widespread in France and Europe, more than 25,000 copies. What Diderot did was create the most important books of the Enlightenment time period. " How Diderot imagined this happening was by providing educational materials on technologies for what Proust broke down into three goals: "(a) to reach a large public; (b) to encourage research at all stages of production; and (c) to publish all the secrets of manufacturing." 1…

    Louis the XIV

    • 990 Words
    • 29 Pages

    Louis the XIV was king of France from 1693 to 1715. He was an example of how to rule for many of the political leaders of the 18th century. An absolute ruler is defined by seven traits. Pacify and subjugate nobles, and centralize power around oneself. Another is to make both money and war. Dominate culture, make religion and finally build something worthy of your glory. Two Enlightened despots that took after Louis were Joseph II of Austria and Peter the Great, Czar of Russia. Both rulers had enlightened and despotic characteristics. Yet Joseph was more Enlightened and Peter more despotic. Both characteristics were important to have a strong nation, but as Peter exemplifies having more despotic characteristics helps a ruler maintain power and strengthen the nation, more so then enlightened ones. Joseph II takes full power in 1780 after his mother Maria Theresa dies, instantly he begins to institute many enlightened ideas. Joseph is radical and makes many changes to long withstanding traditions in Austrian society and government. First, he grants religious freedom and cuts off communication between his state clergy and Rome. Though Austria had always been staunchly Catholic, now a person of any religion could practice it freely. This is a very enlightened idea much before its time. Also, it was one of his only major changes which were kept after his reign ended. This was how Joseph II fits under the trait of making religion work for you; he actually tried to make it work for everyone. Another enlightened reform he implemented was a universal law code in which all Austrians have to follow the same rules and suffer the same punishments. He eliminates noble privileges, in matters like taxation, and crimes. This reform angered the nobility and almost put the nation in crisis. But it was one last reform which set off a spark of rebellion. Joseph II outlawed serfdom, he freed millions of peasants. They were free to go wherever, and choose…

    de Tocqueville’s theory also claimed that democracy created an individualism and equality that encouraged a certain independence that resulted in one believing that they don’t need or owe anything from or to their neighbours; and therefore, an absence of civil society would in turn cause isolation from the community. Ultimately, he claims that civil society will generate the necessary trust and social norms needed for people to be able to work together; and furthermore, allows them to properly appreciate and make use of their liberties. Organizations and institutions that make up civil society include labor unions, non-profit organizations, churches, and other service agencies that provide an important service to society but generally ask for…
