Ride with the Devil is a 1999 American Civil War Western film directed by Ang Lee. The storyline was conceived from a screenplay written by James Schamus, based on the book Woe to Live On, by Daniel Woodrell.

The events portrayed in the novel and film take place in Missouri, amidst escalating guerrilla warfare at the onset of the American Civil War. A loose dramatization of the Lawrence Massacre is depicted. Tobey Maguire stars as Jake Roedel, a Southern militiaman, who joins a group of marauders known as the Bushwhackers. The gang attempt to disrupt and marginalize the political activities of Northern Jayhawkers allied with Union soldiers.

The ensemble cast also features Skeet Ulrich, Jeffrey Wright, Jonathan Brandis, Jim Caviezel and musician Jewel.

The film was a co-production between Universal Studios and Good Machine. Theatrically, it was commercially distributed by the USA Films division of Universal. In 2010, The Criterion Collection released a restored high-definition digital transfer for the home media market. Ride with the Devil explores politics, violence and war.[3]

Following its limited release in theaters, the film failed to garner any award nominations for its acting or production merits from accredited film organizations. On November 23, 1999, the original soundtrack was released by the Atlantic Records label. The score was composed and orchestrated by Mychael Danna and Nicholas Dodd. Singer-songwriter Jewel also contributed a musical track from her second studio album Spirit.

¿Qué diferencia existe en la visión sobre el ser humano entre el medioevo y el renacimiento?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

La visión sobre el ser humano y la propia sociedad cambió radicalmente entre el medioevo y el renacimiento. Específicamente, la concepción del hombre en su relación con lo divino, con la naturaleza y con el poder se modificó abruptamente.

Así, durante la Edad Media la concepción del hombre dentro de la sociedad era la de un simple siervo de Dios, enmarcado en sociedades de profunda ideología religiosa que regulaba con sus propios dogmas el comportamiento de los individuos. A su vez, el poder político obtenía su legitimación de la propia religión, con lo cual la servidumbre se trasladaba a los señores feudales y los reyes que ejercían el poder en dicha época. Por lo tanto, la humanidad era teocentrista, basando su propia existencia en la visión religiosa y la adoración de un Dios.

En cambio, el Renacimiento vino a romper con dicha estructura de pensamiento. En esta etapa, se pasó de considerar a la religión como fuente de legitimación política, cultural e intelectual a poner dicha legitimación en la razón y los hechos objetivos, desplazando a Dios del centro de la escena y poniendo al hombre en su lugar. La sociedad, entonces, se convirtió en antropocéntrica, basando su propia existencia en el bienestar del hombre y el razonamiento como método de justificación de las relaciones humanas y de poder, surgiendo como consecuencia el reconocimiento de los principales derechos humanos a la vida y la libertad.

How does the u.s. economy differ from pure capitalism
elixir [45]

Almost 20% of the United States GDP is actually made up of Government Spending.

Contrary to popular belief the United States is NOT an example of a pure capitalist state.


The government intervenes quite often to provide schools, food banks, hospitals, universities, roads and even bails out banks and large corporations. The government even has anti-competition and anti-monopoly laws.


A pure capitalist state would mean even lower intervention by the Government and a free hand of Demand and Supply.
