Python 3.4 - Strings

Including text in any aspect of your program, text that will appear on the screen, is a string. You can include any kind of text, of course (i.e. The program may ask a user to enter his or her username, etc).

Strings (text) needs to be entered with single or double quotations, you can a do a lot with strings:

In your string, if you ever want to make sure some line of text is included just add a backslash (\) to you text. (i.e. 'It\'s important the \'s in it\'s is included all three times actually.')

If you include a backslash and n (\n) it will print the rest of the string on a new line. You can negate this action with an r included here: print(r'hello world') #This will print the raw string.

Conversations Ongoing: Valuing Modernization in Early European History

Western scholarship has been known to focus on several metanarratives that define itself. These narratives can influence how we as historians view a certain time period, people, or event. Modernization in early European history can be seen as a major driving force in past and current scholarship. Influences of scientific progress, a fracturing Catholic Church, and growing capitalistic influences dominate the ideas scholars possess when viewing Europe during this time period. In regard to our own ideas about the narrative of modernization, its benefits and costs, one should be cognizant of this in viewing the social, economic, political and religious changes early "modern" Europeans faced.

Conversations Ongoing: A Bunch of Amateurs

Jack Hitt's a Bunch of Amateurs To analyze the American character one must take into account the narratives of our country, specifically the three metanarratives that it is based on. In Hitt's analysis of our national character he finds an endless list of examples stretching back to our early Vaudevillian days of americans striking out, trying to get-rich-quick, seemingly fearless in the face of overwhelming odds. I believe that piggy-backing onto the narratives of scientific progress, manifest destiny, and modernization one can easily get caught up in them. Cherry-picking evidence of those who have succeeded, painting a picture of our collective desire to innovate is troublesome. Simply put, I can create the opposite narrative quite easily. Many people in the USA have little to no interest in innovation, modernization, or the like. Quite the opposite. This place is much more than a collective bunch of amateurs but rather it includes them into the fold o...
