    History and Development of Accounting Standards

    Accounting has been around since the beginning of civilization. Ў§Accountants participated in the development of cities, trade, and the concepts of wealth and numbers.ЎЁ (Giroux) The importance of accounting cannot be overemphasized.

  • The History of Occupational Health and Safety

    The History of Occupational Health and Safety

    In the early 1900s industrial accidents were commonplace in this country; for example, in 1907 over 3,200 people were killed in mining accidents. At this time legislation and public opinion all favored management. There were few protections for the worker's safety. Today's industrial employees are better off than their colleagues in the past. Their chances of being killed in an industrial accident are less than half of that of their predecessors of 60 years ago.

  • The New York Conspiracy Trials

    The New York Conspiracy Trials

    Fear begets hate and hate begets violence. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the 1741 New York slave conspiracy trials. Much like the violence in the Salem Witch Trials, a set of natural circumstances coupled with the word of one or two people from a lower order of society caused hysteria and bloodshed. This case is flimsy by modern-day standards and is also very flimsy by the standards of the 1740s. The conspiracy rumblings

    History of Chinese Invention

    The word "paper" is derived from the word "papyrus," which was a plant found in Egypt along the lower Nile River. About 5,000 years ago, Egyptians created "sheets" of papyrus by harvesting, peeling and slicing the plant into strips.

    Until relatively recently in the history of organized education, females were not allowed into the male realm of the classroom. It is ironic that in the present day, researchers are finding that curriculums are satisfying the needs of girls more so than their sexual counterparts. In fact, the general lopsided performance of students in coeducational schools has raised the question: Would it be more beneficial to teach girls separate from boys? Elizabeth Weil examines each
