Document Summary
Wernher von braun: rocket dude (missels) Aerospace engineer: set up weapons that would"ve won the war if they were produced earlier, german, invented v2 rocket for nazi germany & saturn v for the united states. Cultures cross pollinated through warfare: exp: many people ended up where they are today bc their ancestors escaped war in another country, exp: general eisenhower: from german-american family but still conquered germany. The mythic history of the original luddites (steven jones) An account of how the luddite movement was ultimately transformed into contemporary neo-luddism: examines the history of them, how they have been translated through many mediums for many years. Term neo-luddite makes modern connection to original luddite rebellions: in england, during early 19th century. Not the best time for poor/destitute people. Conditions in textile mills & putting-out shops were hostile to kids that had to work there. Not many ways for adult workers to complain.
