- 1832: Social Security: Problem and Solution
- ... The Solution * Citizens should be given a choice on whether or not they wish to invest their own Social Security funds in a high-yield bank account, or the stock market. Right now, the average American has withdrawn all he has put into Social Security within 7 years of retirement. This forces the everyday worker to support those currently on Social Security with his payments. Whoever is still in the work ... and perhaps the simplest, is to invest the funds into a money-market account, which will on average receive 1-1 1/2% more interest than a traditional savings account. From the time the average American starts working - say 16 or 17 - till the time he retires, there will be a lot of money that has accumulated in this account. Another option is a tax-sheltered annuity. This is an option ... national security reasons. For instance, if the government bought stock in mass quantities, a bull market could be created, and the market could crash, and the government could potentially lose billions of dollars. However, every American is not going to invest in the stock market, and those who do are not going to buy the massive quantities of stock that the federal government would. This would provide a lot more ...
- 1833: Frederick Douglass
- ... the worlds of the black man and white man. Thus, ironically, the torturous beginning of Douglass' existence was inadvertently made (by him) into a treasure for 'us' (being mainly white America). The story of the American Dream, wherein a young man, born into a hostile world, never loses sight of one goal, is not all that distant in theme from Narrative of The Life of Frederick Douglass. The story of the American Dream has been embedded deeply in our (American) culture from the beginning. Similarly anchored in the American consciousness is the presence of a 'slavery-complex'. Along these lines Douglass' role is a major one, for relatively few first-hand accounts of slavery ...
- 1834: The Superstring Theory
- ... However, all-inclusive would be limited here in that the TOE would only united all of the LAWS of physics in one equation, which is a hallmark achievement, but not a theory of EVERYTHING. A revolution that unifies the laws is at best ge! nerations away; however, the history of physics suggest that many major discovers are often accidental and surprisingly ubiquitous. This document will explore the circumstances leading to, through, and the lasting effects of the superstring revolution. A crucial characteristic of the universe is the belief that in the moment before the "Big Bang" (this is a reference to a theorized event), everything was in a super dense ball of which had ... of strong nuclear reactions," was the development of Quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Although QCD did not explain completely the strong reactions, it was convincing enough to be added to the Standard Model. (3) Apparently, the string revolution of 1968-73 would die as a passing fad. In 1974, John Schwarz and Joel Scherk resurrected the string theory by proposing that the graviton that had hindered a theory on strong nuclear forces ...

Although many have not heard of each of these films, everyone certainly has to know the man behind them. George Lucas has ... production of a movie, as fresh and insightful today as it was in 1968 (1, 77). This, too, also helped advance Lucas in his career. In addition, Coppola was in the mists of setting up American Zoetrope, a production company, with George s help. This company made a deal with Warner Brothers to make five films for $3.5 million dollars, including Lucas s THX. Coppola, however, made George write it ... a filmmaker (1, 98). After THX, Lucas wanted to make a movie that would dispel his image as a technobrat, a cold, mechanical filmmaker devoid of warmth and humor(1, 101). He offered the movie, American Graffiti, to United Artists, whose president suggested a two-picture deal (the other being Star Wars). Lucas had Richard Walters, a classmate at USC, write the film with Gary Kurtz as producer. After he ...
- 1836: Reconstuction
- ... was a "new beginning" wasn’t it? Yes, it was, but was it a good one? The answer to that question is no. A large cause for the civil war was to free the African-American slaves, to allow them to have equal rights to the white race. But after the war was over, and the slaves were supposedly free, did they still not remain caged? Where could they turn? The ... by the slave owner, but now that they were free, they were on their own for finding food. Secondly, was jobs. It was obvious that nobody in the south was going to hire an African-American to do anything more than what they had done as slaves. And even hard farm labor didn’t pay anything because the landowners were resentful to pay the African- American’s for a service that was previously free. Most of the freed slaves were also illiterate. This meant that a vast majority of them were unable to perform many other jobs even if they ...
- 1837: The Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt
- ... foothold on the New World. A massive population surge, brought on in part by the import of fricans, marks entry into the 18th century. Thomas Jefferson's presidency, beginning in 1800, changed the face of American politics. 1900 was a ripe year for change, but needed someone to help the change arrives. That someone was Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt's political presence altered the course of the United States, transforming it into ... or another until they could control their industry (Cashman 38). As the three or four thousand tycoons made their fortunes, defying government, and basically creating a plutocracy of businessmen, another large group was entering the American melting pot in larger numbers than before. Ten million people came to the United States between 1860 and 1890, and the great majority of them had little more worth to their name save the clothes ... as there was no frontier left to speak of, and assimilation increasingly failed to be effective. The result was nativism, "a defensive type of nationalism" (Cashman 106). The need to impose the will of the American civilization onto other nations can be seen here, in its early stages. The main difference between this era and the next, in that respect, is that the jingoism had not yet left the country. ...
- 1838: Segregation and The Civil Rights Movement
- ... accommodations were constitutional. In fact, separate was almost never equal, but the Plessy doctrine provided constitutional protection for segregation for the next 50 years. To protest segregation, blacks created new national organizations. The National Afro-American League was formed in 1890; the Niagara Movement in 1905; and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909. In 1910 the National Urban League was created to help blacks make ... almost overnight one was organized. The Montgomery bus boycott was an immediate success, with virtually unanimous support from the 50,000 blacks in Montgomery. It lasted for more than a year and dramatized to the American public the determination of blacks in the South to end segregation. A federal court ordered Montgomery's buses desegregated in November 1956, and the boycott ended in triumph. A young Baptist minister named Martin Luther King, Jr., was president of the Montgomery Improvement Association, the organization that directed the boycott. The protest made King a national figure. His eloquent appeals to Christian brotherhood and American idealism created a positive impression on people both inside and outside the South. King became the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) when it was founded in 1957. SCLC wanted to complement ...

- 1840: Alice Walker
- ... Walker, "The Black Movement, with which she still identified, was split on questions of anti-Semitism, integration, class, region, religion, and increasingly, sex (1999)." It sought to acquire economic success among members of the African American community and an eventual creation of an African American Nation. This was directly opposed to the assimilation of the blacks onto an American nation, which was predominately white. The black nationalists also sought to maintain and promote separate identity as people of an African ancestry. According to Brittanica On-Line, "Many of the slogans they still use ...
