G. stanley hall is, perhaps, one of the most prolific of the early american psychologists. which would not be accurately included in a list of his accomplishments?
a. founded the first laboratory of psychology in america at johns hopkins university in 1883.b. in 1887, he created the first journal of psychology in america. c. he wrote extensively on child development and education
d. he published the first american textbook of psychology, the principles of psychology, in 1840.

The option D (He published the first American textbook of psychology, The Principles of Psychology, in 1840) would NOT be accurately included in a list of his accomplishments.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that G. Stanley Hall was born in 1846, so it would have been materially impossible for him to have published a book in 1840. Furthermore, The Principles of Psychology was written by William James and published in 1890. G. Stanley Hall did establish the first U.S. experimental psychology laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in 1883, created the American Journal of Psychology (the first journal of Psychology in America) in 1887, and wrote extensively on child development and education—The contents of children's minds on entering school (1893) is just an example.

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
