<p>Yellow journalism</p>
<p>New way of presenting the news, started around Spanish American War (mid-1890s).</p>
<p>Pulitzer and Hearst transformed newspapers with sensational and scandalous news coverage, the use of drawings and the inclusion of more features such as comic strips.</p>

<p>Hope you're not taking the APUSH exam. It's definitely William Henry Harrison.</p>
<p>GAH see I know the numbers NOT the facts/names!! :(
I am taking it. I'm a hopeless case. But it's not like there would be 2 answers right..there won't be an Answer A) Benjamin Harrison and B) William Harrison..at least I remember Harrison..;(</p>
<p>ok since we're on a new page I'm going to repost my question..</p>
<p>What did deists believe and who were some famous deists?</p>
<p>"what is yellow journalism?"</p>
<p>Sensationalist techniques used by such publishers as Hearst and Pulitzer which essentially turned the American public against Spain (e.g., sinking of the USS Maine) and led to the Spanish-American War.</p>
<p>"What did deists believe and who were some famous deists?"</p>
<p>Deists believed that a Supreme Being created the world and then "stepped aside" after that. I know Enlightenment thinkers in Europe, such as Voltaire, were deists, so I think some famous US deists were Jefferson and Washington...</p>
<p>I guess I'll look up the answers to my questions - later. I'm off to church now...though I searched The Lonely Crowd on Google/Netscape/whatever, and it is a Post-WWII psychological-social study of the changes in American character. I guess it's an important sociological work because it categorizes people in society, and esp. since it is after WWII and thus after a drastic change in society - such a drastic change that caused Freud to write and Dali to paint "The Persistence of Memory" and Dadaism in Europe (that is such a funny word!). </p>
<p>"A classic of American sociology, Riesman's book still rings true to a great extent in its preternatural sense of the (then) coming break between the modern and post-modern era. These days Reisman's characterological framework of social personality types -- tradition oriented, inner-directed, other-directed -- seems too pat, too simplistic, too culturally bound."</p>
<p>The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (earlier question) is also v. important.</p>
<p>"It's cited in nearly every book and article about the culture of the 1950s....Universally acclaimed when first published in 1955, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit captured the mood of a generation. It was a national bestseller that was made into an award-winning film, it was translated into twenty-six languages, and its title has become a permanent part of our cultural vocabulary. Today, it is more relevant than ever.</p>
<p>Here is the story of Tom and Betsy Rath, a young couple with everything going for them: three healthy children, a nice home, a steady income. They have every reason to be happy, but for some reason they are not. Like so many young men of the day, Tom finds himself caught up in the corporate rat race -- what he encounters there propels him on a voyage of self-discovery that will turn his world inside out. At once a searing indictment of corporate culture, a story of a young man confronting his past and future with honesty, and a testament to the enduring power of family, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is a deeply rewarding novel about the importance of taking responsibility for ones own life.

<p>From Amazon. Com. Lol.</p>
<p>Off to church.</p>
<p>oh. couldn't resist. Euro History. Believed there was a God who created natural laws of nature (thus science) that the world abides by. However, God created the world like a wind-up toy, wound it up, and left. Thus, he's no longer there, and now we are left to fend for ourselves, using reason and the natural laws of science.</p>
<p>Famous deists - top one I remember is Newton.</p>

What did deists believe and who were some famous deists?

</p>
<p>i think they believed that god created the world then pretty much left it alone. it's based on logic and experience. as for people, i can only think of thomas jefferson. =/</p>
<p>What was the first protective tariff, and under which President was it created?</p>
<p>also...Ben Franklin was a deist

<p>Two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>What was the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters? (dont look it up!)</p></li>
<li><p>Who was the first American in space?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Who was the first American in space?</p>
<p>Does that include animals? In that case, I'm betting that it was that monkey.</p>
<p>1. What was the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters?</p>
<p>Ah... I remember this in the book, but I can't recall the important person who belonged to it. I'm pretty sure it's related to Unions.</p>
<p>2. Who was the first American in space?</p>
<p>John Glenn</p>
<p>John Glenn was the first man to orbit the earth. The first American in space was Alan Shepard. The first man in space was some Russian guy.</p>

</p>
<p>something to do with pullman cars? :(</p>
<p>ok ok fine the FIRST MAN...that's what I meant =P</p>
<p>and the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car porters (really small paragraph in my textbook..kind of obscure) was important as it was the nations first African American union. It was founded by A. Philip Randolph.
Yea the guys were employed by Pullman</p>
<p>"fruit flies?" eh, close enough xP</p>
