From the Paper
"Revolutions are most often associated with the color red ? for the blood that runs in the streets. But the world has been witness to a very different kind of revolution, a green one. The Green Revolution is a term describing a worldwide movement that began in the 1960s. The goal of this movement is not to topple any specific government or any specific ideology. Rather the goals of the Green Revolution are to increase and diversify crop yields in agriculturally less advanced regions of the world so that there will be enough food for all people to eat without resorting to environmentally devastating techniques to feed themselves and their families such as slash-and-burn agriculture.

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact the invention of the telephone had on the history of communication and describes background information regarding both Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray. The author goes on to discuss how technology is often only perceived and analyzed through the technological view and then goes on to take a look at the socio-technological perspective.
From the Paper
"The emergence of the telephone began with a wire based electrical system called the telegraph which used the dot and dash Morse code system. The telegraph was considered a well established means of communication in a society where many individuals benefited from its uses. Although the telegraph served as a sufficient means for communication, it also contained many limitations which included sending only one message at a time with no vocal capabilities. Thus, when the emergence of the telephone came about many individuals viewed this new instrument as an alternative to the telegraph because of the lack of limitations it contained as well as the many beneficial improvements in communicating. Many individuals such as Alexander Graham Bell viewed the telegraph as a basis for a better and more efficient instrument. Alexander Graham Bell was set on the thought of establishing a better means of communication and improving the already established telegraph. His extensive knowledge and understanding of sound and music led Bell to think of a concept where sound could be transmitted and more than one message could be interpreted. This is how Bell created the harmonic telegraph, which was based on the principle that music notes could be sent over a wire at the same time even if the notes differed in pitch. The harmonic telegraph was seen as a step up for the improvement of the original telegraph and in his attempts to improve the telegraph is what ultimately led Bell to the invention of the telephone where speech patterns could be sent simultaneously. On June 2, 1875 Alexander Graham Bell discovered while experimenting with the harmonic telegraph that he could hear sound over a wire; the sound was a vibrating clock spring. March 10, 1876 is the day where Bell demonstrated of being able to talk with electricity over a wire and this is the day where telegraphs were no longer a sufficient device for communication (Farley, 1998)."

The paper outlines the social, economic and political problems in France in the years preceding the revolution. The writer also explains that through all the horror and bloodshed, there were also positive and far-reaching effects of the revolution for France as well as for Europe. The French Revolution brought about great long term changes in the society and government.
From the Paper
"The French Revolution is known as one of the bloodiest revolutions in all of history, it claimed the lives of thousands of Frenchmen. The question that remains to be answered is, what was the cause for all this carnage?? It was during the years of 1789-1795 that turmoil arose and an outcry came from France, and in place of one of the oldest civilizations stood a new one filled with uncertainty, and the need to reform and build what remained of France. To reflect upon the reasons as to why such a revolution occurred, one must focus upon the main aspects troubling the country and it?s people at this time."

Abstract
This essay traces the sociological attitudes of the American colonists throughout the pre-revolutionary period, as well as the American Revolution itself. Included are the reactions to British injustices such as the stamp act, sugar act, and quartering act, as well as more general trends in the thinking of the colonists. The paper also examines the way the colonists used John Locke's ideas to justify their actions. In addition, it traces how some colonial newspapers looked at the crisis, and the influence they had. This paper is a comprehensive examination of the emotions and attitudes of the colonists that led to and spurred on the American revolution.
From the Paper
"The protection of private property was considered imperative by Locke, and he reasoned that tyranny originated from government invading the natural rights of man. Despite the fact that these views were originally established in a time period well before the revolutionary period was at hand, the colonists applied them very effectively to their own situation. A number of Locke?s other beliefs and ideologies were bought into by the colonists. His doctrine of the supreme power of legislature, by which he meant to suggest that the British Parliament would have power over the crown, was used by the colonists to justify the idea of implementing Colonial legislatures that would have powers over the crown."

From the Paper
"With the digital revolution and the dramatic fall in international telecommunication costs globalization has been made possible. Globalization has changed the way economies operate and this has only been possible due to the various innovations in the technological sectors. India has been in the fore-front of this global revolution. Call-centers, data processing facilities, telemedicine and software development type facilities are opening all over India and China where the labor is cheap and the trade-laws have been liberalized. Globalization would not have become as common as it is today without advancements in technology, mainly the internet. The internet allows real time communication from anywhere to anyone with access to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). With the internet, people can receive the help they need, place orders, arrange shipping and other aspects essential to today's business environment from anywhere there is internet access. Some of the reasons that India was chosen as the location for the call centers is due to the cheap labor rate, the willingness and enthusiasm to work in the global market, and the quality of education to middle class. Despite all the differences in religious, social and economic backgrounds, India has created a workforce that has embraced and used technology to position them at the forefront of outsourcing in a global economy."

Abstract
This paper explains that, today, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a growing need for technological literacy, but it is unclear how technology education teachers are making decisions on classroom practice based on the "Standards for Technological Literacy", which focuses on what every student in grades K-12 should know and be able to do in order to be technologically literate. The author states that the study will address the issue of assessing standards-based training needs through a critical review of the scholarly literature followed by a survey of what 7th to 10th grade technology education teachers in Arizona know about the standards, how they are using them and what the need for standards-based training. The paper relates that a Likert-type scale will be used to determine the acceptance and use of the STL and to measure the perceived needs of standards-based training.

From the Paper
"To date, thousands of technology teachers, science and mathematics teachers, and other educators and experts from around the country have collaborated in an effort to identify precisely what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should be learning about technology. This group, together with content specialists and representatives from the National Research Council (NRC) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), reviewed Standards for Technological Literacy and recommended modifications and additions. The resulting document, supported by both NRC and NAE, defined the study of technology as a discipline and provided a framework for individual teachers, schools, school districts, and states or provinces to develop technological literacy in all students. The research to date indicates that when schools provide students with a quality education in their primary language they provide them with two things: knowledge and literacy."

Green vs. Green, 2004.
Examines the war between environmentalists and corporations in the 1990s.

Abstract
The 1990s, in particular, was a time when environmentalists and nonenvironmentalists came to bitter loggerheads regarding the fate of the earth's natural resources. This paper shows how governments responded to pressure from both sides in a bid to appease the needs of both sides; the Greens demanded the protection of rare species and forests, and the corporations required resources to make a profit and provide employment and food for millions of people.
From the Paper
"Here it is the local Indian traditions of vegetarianism, and non-violence that work toward the tiger?s preservation as a species. The Vice-President of India?s statement underscores the need for local peoples to look toward their own traditions for answers to environmental and other questions. Problems are seen as being imposed from the outside, and thus, to be successful, the solutions must not be viewed in the same way. By appealing to traditional Hindu values, the current Indian government can counter the conflicting claims that some tigers turn man-eater, or that old and weak tigers decimate the small flocks and herds that are among the few possessions of impoverished peasants."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the scientific revolution and outlines the scientific disciplines that developed during and after this revolution. The paper claims that all of these technologies and disciplines have helped human beings to investigate their history. Through a review of Jared Diamond's Pulitzer Prize winning book "Guns, Germs, and Steel", the paper explains that all human understanding of the Neolithic revolution emerged from the scientific revolution.
From the Paper
"The Neolithic revolution predated the scientific revolution by thousands of years. The term Neolithic revolution was coined in 1941, and describes the shift from hunting and gathering societies to human societies dependent on agriculture that occurred over 10,000 years ago (Regents Prep). Ultimately, the Neolithic revolution led to the development of human settlements, and as settlements generated surpluses of goods, trade began. Social classes grew out of inequalities in goods, and eventually entire civilizations emerged from the widespread adoption of agriculture and farming (Regents Prep). The development of agriculture in the Neolithic revolution allowed humans to stay in one spot, and develop permanent settlements. Before the cultivation of land and the domestication of animals, humans were forced to live wherever food was abundant. Once the food supply in an area ran out, humans were forced to move on in search of better supplies, a nomadic existence characterized by earlier hunter-gatherer societies (Regents Prep)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the impact that the Industrial Revolution and the information revolution had on society. The paper considers not only how the Industrial Revolution affected the amount of work people do and the amount of goods produced, but also the type of goods produced and how the machine age virtually eliminated the uniqueness and aesthetic qualities of the products. The paper looks at how the Industrial Revolution eventually led to the Arts and Crafts Movement, modernism, rationalism, and other aesthetic philosophies. The paper then examines the impact that the information revolution has had on society. How the information revolution affected democracy, power, the concentration of wealth, production, and new postmodernist philosophies is discussed as well.
From the Paper
"It is difficult for anyone now alive to appreciate the radical changes that the Industrial Revolution brought to humanity. We imagine that we know what it was like before this shift in economics, in culture, in society: We think of farmers tilling fields and of their children piling hay into stacks for winter forage, or of trappers setting their snares for the soft-pelted animals of the forests, or of fishers casting their hand-woven and hand-knotted nets into the seas from the hand-sewn decks of ships. We imagine the hard physical work that nearly every person in society once had to do in the era before machines substituted their labor for ours ? and this exchange of human (and animal) labor for machine-driven labor is indeed one of the key elements of the Industrial Revolution."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ideology has played a central role in revolution with innovative social ideas and the vision of a new social order inspiring the revolution. Strong national feeling was a very important factor in the Mexican revolution. According to Vanderwood (204) the situation in Mexico was an authentic social revolution that tended between "authoritarian rule and the endeavor to give peasants and workers a meaningful voice in government". By the time of the Cold War, Americans began to "interpret Mexico's experience largely in terms of the Communist revolution in the former Soviet Union" (Vanderwood 204). During the Mexican Revolution, the individual who was similar to Lenin in influence and vision was Villa."
