Introduction of the Gold Standard The Gold Standard era started from 1870 to 1914. With the help of historical accidents centering on Britain‚ Britain tied the pound sterling more closely to gold than to silver. In addition‚ Britain’s UK dollar became the supplier of reserve currency. Under the gold standard‚ each country’s government fixed its currency to a specified quantity of gold‚ and promised full convertibility to gold. Each country’s government would sell and or buy gold at mint parity

Ingenue and the Gold Dress The focus of this paper will be “Ingenue” by Richard Judson Zolan and “The Gold Dress” by Bill Brauer. The focal point of both paintings is a beautiful woman and this is where the similarities stop. Zolan’s focus is completely within the boundaries of the painting while Brauer’s leads your eye off the plane insinuating there is more going on than is captured within the boundaries of the painting. The word ingenue refers to a naive‚ innocent young woman while the woman

All That Glitters Is Not Gold The quote “All that glitters is not gold” has been used for centuries since it was originally spoken by Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice in 1596. The meaning‚ actually quite simple‚ is this: Not everything that is superficially attractive is valuable. This phrase also coincides with the saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover‚” in that they are able to be defined by the same description. To give a better explanation of these quotes‚ I have come up with three

Now when I listen to people tell stories‚ I’m aware of the fact that this can be considered folklore.
