- ... not your friend" (261). However, in a later work of his, "1965," one can see that Malcolm was learning to accept whites as possible allies. I tried in every speech I made to clarify my new position regarding white people - 'I don't speak against the sincere, well meaning, good white people. I have learned that there are some. I have learned that not all white people are racists' (367). Yet ... society in which everyone can work together for the good of the country.

- 11082: Franklin Delano Roosevelt
- ... alleviate our nation's economic pains. But, is this view too myopic? Is Roosevelt deserving of such a godly reputation?

During the weeks preceding Roosevelt's inauguration the country was engaged in an economic crisis that was quickly spiraling ... P. 155) Conkin attempts to poke holes in this idealistic portrayal of Roosevelt. Conversely, Conkin implies that many of Roosevelt's programs helped the top dog, at the expense of the underdog.

Rather it is a study of God s liberating activity in the world, God s activity on behalf of the oppressed. A Black Theology of Liberation and the Gospel of Luke both contain the theme of liberating the oppressed. Cone stated that "Black Theology is not the hope ... the concept of liberating the oppressed through the love of God. This is one similarity between Cone's definition of Black theology and Luke's meaning of salvation. Cone defined heaven on earth as a world with social justice and equality among people. Luke wrote that social justice is also equality among all, in addition we should love our enemies and treat others as we wish to be treated. In other words, both Luke and Cone sought a world where people helped each other, not a place where oppression and evil overruled human beings. Luke said that all who are low will be exalted in the kingdom of God. For everyone who exalts ...

- 11088: American Self Perception vs. The Truth
- ... living a life of virtual complete freedom parallels the American stand on its' belief of democracy. Americans feel that a democratic government is the only possible administration which can be deemed acceptable in today's world system.

The American enemy image of the Soviets was that of a populace of evil and clever people who pushed their form of government upon weak nations all over the world. The base of Soviet fear was based and strengthened not on fact but a fear of the unknown. The American response to the Soviets was to contain U.S.S.R through political and ...

- ... one thing that science hasn t been able to give them. Enter God, the means that mankind has clung to for purpose.

Yet the Church, like humanity, has the right to make a mistake and reassess their beliefs. It doesn t mean all they say is false, not at all!

- 11090: The Economic Underpinnings of the First Industrial Revolution in England
- ... supported by the British Government contributed directly to technological innovation and spurred industrialization. This is because the companies that choose to fulfill the government contracts to make military munitions found money could be made if new processes and technology was developed to fulfill the huge contracts. Military manufacturing was one of the few industries where innovation was rewarded. In most other industries conservative investors were reluctant to invest in new manufacturing technology. But in military manufacturing the government was the investor and was unconcerned with the manufacturing technology as long as the product was delivered on time. Many technological advances were made through military manufacturing some of these were new ways to manufacture iron, conveyer belts, and the use machine tools .
