The idea for building the statue of liberty began at a dinner party in Versailles, France, shortly after the American Civil War

English

patriot [66]3 years ago
3 0

 The statement is correct. It all began in the year 1865 when a young french sculptor named Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi  went to a banquet near the city of Versailles and met a huge United States fan known as Edouard de Laboulaye. There they realized that in 1876 it would be the centenary of the american revolution and Edouard thought that it would be a great idea to gave the americans a present.

 The present was going to be a gigantic statue that represents the freedom and the person who was gonna be in charge of such ambicious idea would be Frédéric. By the year 1871 he had almost the entire concept on his mind, the freedom would be represented by a lady and the name of the sculpture was  Liberty Enlightening the World. The cost of the construction would be supported by the French State in wich concerns to the sculpture and the American State only had to build the base in which the statue should be placed.

 On that very same year Bartholdi traveled to U.S.A. and choose the island of Bedloe <em>(better known this days by the name of Island of Liberty)</em> as the place where the statue should rest.

 Unfortunately a series of delays in the construction made impossible to reach the deadline in the centenary of the nation on the year 1876. But finally on October 28th of the year 1886 the Statue of Liberty was inaugurated for the world by the president Glover Cleveland.

Write and please share an experience in which you changed your way of thinking or your attitude about something or someone. Plea
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Although it might not have surprised you to hear that we can often predict people’s behaviors if we know their thoughts and their feelings about the attitude object, you might be surprised to find that our actions also have an influence on our thoughts and feelings. It makes sense that if I like strawberry jam, I’ll buy it, because my thoughts and feelings about a product influence my behavior. But will my attitudes toward orange marmalade become more positive if I decide—for whatever reason—to buy it instead of jam?

It turns out that if we engage in a behavior, and particularly one that we had not expected that we would have, our thoughts and feelings toward that behavior are likely to change. This might not seem intuitive, but it represents another example of how the principles of social psychology—in this case, the principle of attitude consistency—lead us to make predictions that wouldn’t otherwise be that obvious.

Imagine that one Tuesday evening in the middle of the semester you see your friend Joachim. He’s just finished his dinner and tells you that he’s planning to head home to study and work on a term paper. When you see him the next day, however, he seems a bit shaken. It turns out that instead of going home to study, Joachim spent the entire evening listening to music at a rock club in town. He says that he had a great time, stayed up late to watch the last set, and didn’t get home until the crack of dawn. And he woke up so late this morning that he missed his first two classes.
