“Around the World in Eighty Days” and Examples of the National Geography Standards
[ send me this essay ]
This is an 11 page paper discussing “Around the World in Eighty Days” in regards to the National Geography Standards. When Jules Verne wrote “Around the World in Eighty Days” (1873), the world seemed a much larger place and was just beginning to become more easily circumnavigated in a relatively short time because of the technological advances. Using the National Geography Standards comprised of six essential elements which make up the eighteen standards, it is useful to note that the elements can be identified within Verne’s work. Verne wrote an adventure fantasy story well over a century ago but was able to convey many of the essential elements used in the geographical standards and descriptions still used today.

20th Century Knowledge -- Revolution or Evolution?
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page
report discusses technological and intellectual advances that
have taken place in the 20th century and whether or not such an
expansion of knowledge has been due to great new ideas suddenly
appearing on the intellectual horizon or a technological
evolution of ideas that has led to such commonplace realities as
photocopy machines, personal computers, and jet travel. It is
important to understand that the foundations of any enterprise
determine the heights to which it can rise and the breadth to
which it can expand. This writer takes the viewpoint that the
advancement of knowledge over the past century has been
evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Bibliography lists 2
sources.
