Plato and Aristotle disagreed about the relative importance of Nature and Nurture.
<em>Plato</em> introduced the term nativism (<em>Nature</em>) as the idea that our thoughts, ideas and characteristics are inborn. In other words, we are believed to be born with these thoughts, ideas and characteristics, and that they are already in our genes.
On other hand, Aristotle introduced the idea to us of empiricism, or <em>Nurture</em>. He described this as, knowledge is gained through experience (senses). Our thoughts and ways are not because of our genetic make-up, but because of how we were raised and brought up by our parents and overall lifestyle.
America refused to recognize the right of Germany to declare unrestricted submarine warfare and continued to ship war materials. ... When the Germans sunk the Lusitania American civilians were killed in the "unprovoked" attack. The outrage over this atrocity provided the reason for America to enter the war.

The Anti-Reforms of Alexander III had three main components:
1) Repression of political opponents and religious minorities
2) Undoing some of the reforms of his father
3) And to restore Russia's position internationally.
The purpose of Russification was to rid Russia of western, particularly liberal, ideas that Alexander believed had weakened Russia and compromised its national identity - he wanted to reclaim Russia’s Russian-ness. To achieve this, many liberals and foreigners were exiled, books were banned and political meetings broken up. There was a religious aspect of Russification: Orthodox Christians were favoured over other religions in many ways, especially in Imperial appointments, and the Orthodox Church had to preach obedience to the Tsar, as well as being made to inform the authorities if anyone confessed to anything seditious in confession (previously confession had been confidential between parishioner and priest).
One of the main political anti-reforms was the neutering of the Zemstvos, the rural councils. In 1889, the powers that the Zemstvos had were removed; local magistrates were also removed and replaced by people who were directly appointed and answerable to the Minister of the Interior.
The industrialisation of Russia, began under Alexander II, was meant to cement Russia's position as a Great Power, able to compete both militarily and commercially with France, Britain and Turkey.
The <em>English Bill of Rights</em> reduced the powers of the English monarch. The <em>Mayflower Compact</em> was a legal contract that passengers onboard the <em>Mayflower</em> agreed to have fair laws to protect the general good.
