Do you know what web's are triumphs in Japan?
I think you are asking which web sites are the biggest successes in Japan?
http://www.yahoo.co.jp - biggest search and portal
http://mixi.jp - biggest SNS
http://www.2ch.net - biggest cess pit disguised as a bulletin board
http://www.nicovideo.jp/ - Nico Nico Douga, biggest home-grown video sharing site, but a bit behind YouTube in visitor numbers
Please express what you think were two of the major triumphs and two of the major tragedies in Lincoln's life. Support your opinions with facts, too. I'd love to see if there are certain examples that most people find the worst and best moments of his life. He's always been of interest to me, and I know many others as well.
Look forward to your opinions!
Winning the Presidency and winning the Civil War were certainly two of his triumphs. Among the tragedies of his life were the death of his beloved son and his wife's lifelong mental illness.
The most majoir sirous thing was the sival war lots of people
died.In ford's theater liken was killed.
I belleve one of the greatest tragedies was his life long depression suffered by him and a good part of his family. Had Lincoln had the ability to really focus on the day to day goings on in his life without the depression slapping him down on a daily basis, think what he may have accomplished over and above what he already had... tvtop_toptv
Tragedies- as expressed before, I say the death of Tad during the War. About a year and a half ago I became a father. I love my little girl with every breath I breathe. To lose her would be devastating, but to lose a loved one as president, in middle of a war. Was he able to fully grieve?
From the civil rights movement (Black and the ending of slavery to the struggles that continue in the present day), to the feminist movement, to passive resistance (Ghandi), to the battle for Gay rights....to any other you can think of
What lesson can those who have triumphed against oppression share with each other?
Most especially what are the most valuable things the feminist movement has contributed to assist in the struggles of others, and learned from them?
To be aware that horizontal oppression, internalized oppression, hating the oppressor, and imitating the oppressor only keep us all stuck in systems of oppression. That freedom from oppression begins within our own hearts and minds. As Gandhi put it, to paraphrase or translate, ''We must be the change we seek.'' Freeing ourselves from internalized oppression is what enables us to be truly empowered from within and to work together (and play together) in true solidarity to find new ways to live together in shared power, peace, harmony, freedom, and joy. Yes, joy. To paraphrase Emma Goldman, ''I don't want any part of any revolution where I can't dance.''
One of the most valuable things we can learn from the feminist/womanist movement is that unless we broaden our scope we will lose support and lose our connections with ourselves as women across cultural, racial, and economic boundaries. Sadly, we will lose the good fight if we, once again, imitate the oppressor by being divisive. It's about integrity and solidarity--inc. with the men who stand with us and are willingly letting go of their sexism and socialized male ''privilege.'' As Betty, one of my favorite ''chick rock'' bands, puts it, ''We are in this together.''
One triumph is he came out a prison an educated man, he admits this so himself when he tells how he spent his prison time, and if you compare it to his way of life before his jail time. His other triumph was writing his autobiography. His tragedy was believing that the white race was mutated mix of human beings and dogs, as well as getting shot down in public.
I'm not sure he came out of prison ''an educated man,'' as J.S. (above) suggests. He knew how to read and write, and knew lots of stuff. I think he became truly a wise man when he went on the Hajj and found for himself that Muslims were all different colors, including blue-eyed, blond-hair people. It brought down his own racial prejudices.

His triumph was persuading guilt ridden liberals that he was anything but a vile hate-ridden bloodthirsty corrupt pervert.
Can you please give me any event in history that is a tradegedy and a tirumph.
The Battle of Trafalgar - Admiral Horatio Nelson defested the French fleet but lost his life in that same battle.
The commando raid in Entebbe airport - the Israeli commandos successfully freed the captives but their commander perished.
The completion of the great wall of China - it was a great human feat that kept China's northern enemies at bay but at a great cost in human lives.
The Allied victory in WW1 %26 the terms of the Versailles Treaty which eventually led to WW2 %26 even bigger casualties.
1939-1945 World War II
1914-1918 Word War I
1861-1865 The American Civil War
How about the one plane(Flight 93) on 9/11 where the passengers stormed the cockpit and stopped those terrorists from crashing into some big target in DC (the Whitehouse? or Congress?)
It was a tragedy. Yet it was triumph too.
''Lets Roll!''
I would say the end to Hitlers reign. Ending his torture was a triumph but at the same time a tragedy because of the countless unspeakable acts he enforced.
holocost- tradgey
wining revoultion- triumph
something that is both good and bad; a paradox? Tragedy and Triumph?
Even though this is fictional: Romeo and Juliet, they both died unhappy but their death taught the families of what is more valuable.
Okay, got a good one: WWII
-brought america out of its economic depression by giving jobs to hundreds of thousands of people
-but it also started the use of nuclear weapons and the holocost and the death and destruction elsewhere
and it has to be about the triumph or tragedy of an event or what the person did.
for example: the creation of penicillin a triumph or tragedy? or women's roles in WWll: triumph or tragedy? etc. etc.
so i've narrowed it down to a few topics, but can't decide which to choose. the paper has to be 1500-2500 words also.
so i was wondering..out of these which would be easiest to write a paper on, most interesting, etc.:
Ray Kroc: Fast Food Changes America
Saladin: Crusades
Winston Churchill: Fight Against Tyranny
The Triumphant and Tragic Voyage of Christopher Columbus
Creation of the State of Israel
Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii: Destruction of a Culture
Vincent Van Gogh: The Triumph and Tragedy of Genius
Relocation of Japanese Durning WWll
Joseph Stalin and the Purge of Russia
Galileo: Triumphant Discoveries, Tragic Life
Social Securtiy Act, 1935
It would be a great help if you could help me narrow it down even more!
Personally, I think that the fast food topic would be interesting.
what
Winston Churchill: Fight Against Tyranny...This sounds interesting ...
U could also9 add your feelings abt tyranny too
Crusades would be good.
