Coronavirus: From 'We've shut it down' to 100,000 US dead Image copyright Getty Images It's an uncanny and almost tragically perfect piece of symmetry. The number of US servicemen and women killed in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan - over an aggregate 44 years of fighting is almost exactly the same as the number of Americans who've now lost their lives to coronavirus in just three months of America's war against the hidden enemy, as Donald Trump likes to refer to Covid-19. He also calls it the Chinese virus, but we'll come to that. Now I know you could replace the Covid-19 deaths with US cancer deaths or road crash victims and come up with similarly stark or perhaps even more dramatic statistics. But sadly, fatal automobile accidents and terminal tumours have always been with us. How the pandemic in US compares to rest of world Image copyright Reuters Donald Trump is not imbued with the gift of soaring Churchillian rhetoric; there have been no "we shall fight them on the beaches" moments. US deaths in conflict: Korean War (1950-1953): 36,500

400 years since slavery: a timeline of American history | News Many Americans’ introduction to US history is the arrival of 102 passengers on the Mayflower in 1620. But a year earlier, 20 enslaved Africans were brought to the British colonies against their will. As John Rolfe noted in a letter in 1619, “20 and odd negroes” were brought by a Dutch ship to the nascent British colonies, arriving at what is now Fort Hampton, then Point Comfort, in Virginia. Four hundred years on, the captives’ arrival has informed nearly every major moment in American history, even if that history has been framed around anyone but Africans and African Americans. “Historians, elected political figures [and] community leaders would prefer to sort of imagine the United States as a kind of mythic, Anglo-Saxon Christian place,” says Michael Guasco, an early American history professor at Davidson College. In 1992, Toni Morrison told the Guardian: “In this country, American means white. Eight of the first 12 US presidents were slave owners.
1920s: A Decade of Change by Barrett A. Silverstein Reprinted with permission from the Tar Heel Junior Historian. Spring 2004. Tar Heel Junior Historian Association, NC Museum of History Related Entry: How the Twenties Roared in North Carolina Have you ever heard the phrase “the roaring twenties?” To paraphrase Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities, “It was the best of times, and sometimes it was the worst of times.” The 1920s was a decade of change, when many Americans owned cars, radios, and telephones for the first time. In 1920 the average life span in the United States was about fifty-four years, whereas today it’s about seventy-seven years. In 1920 the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. The 1920s began with the last American troops returning from Europe after World War I. Two events in 1920 kicked off the era of change that Americans experienced. Musical styles were also changing in the 1920s. In 1924 Congress passed a law that made all American Indians citizens of the United States. Barrett A.
Ludwig Klages Ludwig Klages (1872-1956) è uno dei principali studiosi e autori tedeschi di filosofia e psicologia dei primi del ‘900. Come filosofo è stato esponente dell’irrazionalismo, ed il suo pensiero è basato sulla contrapposizione tra anima e spirito; come psicologo è noto per la formulazione di una teoria sul comportamento espressivo e sulla costruzione della personalità che lui chiama carattereologica. Non tutti sanno che L. Klages ha dato anche un enorme contributo alla grafologia con teorie molto innovative, in linea con il suo pensiero filosofico. Attraverso il ritmo (per Klages il ritmo è un elemento importantissimo che coinvolge tutto l’universo ed ogni sua parte) si entra in una concezione dinamica della grafologia: la scrittura per Klages è manifestazione espressiva del ritmo della vita. Estremamente importante per valutare correttamente la grafia è che il grafologo “entri in sintonia empatica” con il ritmo della scrittura e che non si appoggi unicamente alla razionalità.

Max Pulver e "La Simbologia della Scrittura" Max Pulver era un uomo di grande cultura; nacque a Berna nel 1889 e prima di orientare i suoi interessi verso la grafologia e la psicologia, pubblicò numerose opere letterarie e filosofiche. Fu amico di vari psicologi del tempo, tra cui anche Freud e Jung; si accostò alla grafologia attraverso numerosi autori (conosceva anche Crépieux Jamin); principalmente il metodo di Max Pulver è derivato da quello di Klages che, pur criticandone alcuni apporti filosofici, ne apprezza altri, dandone una rilettura ed osservando le categorie segniche Klaghesiane specialmente da un punto di vista psicologico. Pulver scrisse numerosi testi riguardanti la grafologia: l’unico tradotto anche in Italiano è “la Simbologia della Scrittura”, un testo grafologico molto apprezzato sia per il suo grande apporto teorico, ma anche perché dotato di tanta spontaneità e ricchezza comunicativa (difatti è stato dettato a voce). - l’alto, il cielo, il giorno, la luce, la spiritualità Il modo di percepire si mostra
