e conquerors adoptedhieroglyphic writing and Egyptian customs, but the complexity of theseenabled the Egyptians to resist and expel the invaders.
It's savage how the conquerers "adopted" the hieroglyphic writing and proceeded to complicate it into something the Egyptians couldn't understand. Smart but rude.
Since moist clay was necessary and since the tablet driedquily, it was important to write with speed and accuracy
I'm currently in a ceramics class, and for one the written text on dried slabs can easily crack and be smudged. I don't understand how they preserved the text without firing it.
In Japan, in the mid-1950s, a peak in teenage suicides seems to havebeen connected with the expansion of mass education post wa
It's awful knowing education has been such a mess for young peoples' mental healths since this early on. And according to this, near nothing was done to help the Japanese education system as far as language goes.
A Japanese sentencetherefore mixes Chinese aracters and Japanese syllabic signs in what isgenerally regarded as the most complicated system of writing in the world.
I've always wondered why the Japanese language is so complicated.Why does it combine the Chinese characters plus Japanese signs? seems unnecessary...

This reminds me of an incident when I was younger. I was at the very end of my church classes and was at the confessions part for my Confirmation. I totally dodged every opportunity to do my confessions because I'm not into religion like that. I got in trouble which is odd. I cannot imagine having the Church know every little thing about me.
there is pride and shame in reading.
This is exactly why I don't read the news and simply listen to it.
George Jones, who had edited the Times from 1869 until his death in 1891,had boasted that no man had ever been asked to subscribe to, or advertise in,the Times.
Only one person edited the New York Times that whole time? Did he ever get a day off?!

The more years pass, the bigger and bolder the headline fonts get... even on digital news.
ther examples of su environments are expositions,trade fairs, amusement parks, and (to cite more contemporary examples)shopping malls and large new airports or even subway stations.
I wonder if these places also acted as hang out places for teens and pre-teens like they do in today's world. I would constantly be at the mall and tempted to buy things with friends, especially given there was a Dave-n-Busters there.
To him all advertising is false advertising. Blatant lies andsubtle ones, lies of omission and of commission, lies in detail and in theensemble
The idea of advertising has been built off of promoting products to consumers, therefore if they have to twist the truth a little to make someone buy it... why not?

It's weird how everybody everywhere worshipped some form of God during this time... so much that the first scheduled radio broadcasts were church services?! I personally don't think I would ever pay attention to the radio if that were still the case.

First of all, that's deep and I wasn't expecting the brutally harsh tone--"Splintered lives." Secondly, it's interesting how families used to watch to reunite their military families when today they usually watch because of boredom or during dinner. Interesting how priorities have changed...

For kid's growing up in this era, I feel it isn't a "routine survival technique" given we have almost constant access to streaming services in the comfort of our own homes (at least in a majority in the U.S.). Also, there isn't a perfect stigma surrounding movie theaters since there's an airborne virus, and the 2012 movie theater shooting occurred. :/
