- 1571: How Did The Franco-german Alli
- ... because of language barriers, religion, historical events, of differences in politics, the economy or even culture; no-one knows for sure. What we do know is that this constant bickering has led to two devestating world wars, claiming millions and millions of lives, and that, since the end of the second war, things have gone fairly well. There has not been a world war in over 50 years and co-operation between States has never been better. But what was the cause for such a dramatic change ? Many answers may come to mind but anyone one them will ... that went far-beyond the industry of steel and coal. The first ECSC objectives were evedently economic.

- ... the author of this paper. The author of the book travels on what he terms "the six journeys." On these "journeys" he encounters different cultures, as he travels to six different coinciding areas of the world. He examines the unique expression of nationalism that each populace displays by interviewing various members of that particular society. The six areas that he travels to are specifically chosen for the clarity which nationalism is ... existence of the German problem. If the nation makes the state then Germany will always be a threat. If the state makes the nation, then the aggressive nature of the German nation, which lead the world into two global wars, can be harnessed and redirected. The question has its roots and answers in the recent reunification of Germany. The Ukraine is concerned with not being Russian. It is here Ignatieff receives ... in Canada it can fail anywhere."

- ... is its cost?) and politically disastrous (more people notice high interest rates and unemployment than care about currency stability). Even if the government were willing to bow to international standards, nationalism is strong in the world today and most people do not look fondly upon consolidated global power--witness the problems of the United Nations. People would not widely support what would effectively be international control of their country's economic ... the Japanese economy on the machinations of those governments (Friedman, "Anxiety" 34; Wood 8). There are also other problems with fixed or targeted rates. Even if the system could be maintained, the economies of the world are probably not integrated enough to deal with a fixed rate system and to correct imbalances of trade. Capital is free to flow from country to country, but labor is not and neither are many businesses. The comparison of the states of the USA to the countries of the world is specious: Not only do the states share a central government and have virtually no economic sovereignty or identity, and not only is everybody certain that the situation will never change and thus there ...

The area now encompassed by the Fresh Kills (Kills is from the Dutch word for creek) Landfill was originally a tidal marsh.

A study of the area predicted the marsh ... then planned to develop the area, building houses and attracting light industry over the landfill. The Fresh Kills Landfill was originally meant to be a conservation project that would benefit the environment.

The report ended by ...
- 1577: Analysis of Several Works of Literature
- ... it is now, Faust believes that his life is miserable and that being a part of humanity can only hinder his thirst for knowledge. The other side gives me little trouble; First batter this present world to rubble, Then the other may rise if that's the plan. This earth is where my springs of joy have started, And this sun shines on me when brokenhearted; If I can first from ... most overlooked line Shakespear has ever written even though it tells the tale of Hamlet in a mere two words. The Hamlet character is an outlet of how Shakespear viewed what was happening in the world at the time. It was the age of the Renaissance. While being the greatest period of scientific, artistic genius in human history, it also bore the mark of being the greatest period of man's inhumanity to man. "Who's there?" (Ibid) is his own commentary on the multitude of personalities going on at this time. Shakespear has cynical views toward what is happening in the world and the oscillation of people between the ideal man of Copernicus and Galileo to the evil kings and rulers of Denmark. From the beginning of time, man has had a need to attempt to ...

- ... question his sanity, William Blake became one of the most influential poets of his time and time yet to come. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Industrial Revolution was born in England. With this new growth in industry and capitalism, businessmen recognized the advantage of cheap labor. Children were among the most abused work force in that country's history. William Blake saw this increase of social injustice and was ... a social critic, he wrote many poems condemning the hypocrisy between these two worlds, for example, "The Chimney Sweeper," "London," and "The Garden of Love." In "London," Blake reveals that this hypocrisy has robbed the world of innocence and spirit. In the first two lines, Blake repeats the word "charter'd." He uses this repetition to stress the mechanical behavior of the world around him. The word "charter" has connotations of something that can be sold or hired for money. Blake is connecting this idea with the chartered rights of Englishmen given three hundred years ago by ...

However, between 1850 and 1900 there were great advances! in mathematics and physics that began to rekindle the interest (Osborne, 45). Many of these new advances involved complex calculations and formulas that were very time consuming for human calculation. The first major use for a computer in the U.S. was during the 1890 census. Two men, Herman Hollerith and James Powers, developed a new punched-card system that could automatically read information on cards without human intervention (Gulliver, 82). Since the population of the U.S. was increasing so fast, the computer was an essential tool in tabulating ...
