- 4101: Volunteering For A School Of Handicapped Children
- ... chose The Spectrum Center I will now tell what the Spectrum Center does. My job basically is to just be a friend to these kids, and let them know that there are people in this world that think they are more than just a retard. I talk with the kids about any topic under the sun, draw pictures, shoot hoops, just generally hang with them. The one thing that Spectrum does ... the most important, is going out into the community and interacting with society. I feel that in doing this it helps the kids with the social skills that they need to survive in todays world. Going to the bank cashing checks, visiting stores to buy items, and having to decide which items to buy, are a couple of examples of the day to day tasks that a lot of people do. By the kids from Spectrum doing these things, it lets them get into the scheme of how things are done in the world. Also it lets people who usually do not work with the handicapped at least come in contact with them (most of the time people are scared of them). Other significant issues the center helps ...
- 4102: Holocoust
- ... religious rite in which an offering was completely consumed by fire. In current times, however, the word holocaust has taken on a darker more tragic meaning and refers to more than a religious sacrifice. During World War II, a fire raged throughout Eastern Europe. Guns, bombs, and military groups did not ignite this fire. This fire burned fervently in the hearts of men -- sparked by centuries-old prejudice. One man, Adolf ... in the Holocaust began as a flicker of hatred in the heart of a leader and became a blazing inferno consuming the lives of the men, women, and children who crossed its incendiary path. After World War I, the social climate in Germany was dismal. The German people were humiliated by their country's defeat and by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The economic depression that resulted left millions of individuals out of work. The German government was weak, and the people sought new leadership. These conditions provided an opportune setting for a new leader, Adolf Hitler, and his party, the National Socialist German Workers Party.

- ... processing, and sensor technology into the data processor so that a person can enter into and react with three-dimensional spaces generated by computer graphics. The goal computer engineers have is to create an artificial world that feels genuine and will respond to every movement one makes, just as the real world does.

- 4105: Isolationism
- Between 1789 and 1823 the United States made cautious efforts to become involved in world affairs to further insulate itself from European involvement. This tendency toward isolationism is clearly shown in treaties to resolve outstanding differences with European countries, territorial acquisitions, attempts to maintain neutrality in European struggles and broad ... European nations and further isolate themselves. The U.S. gained much territory from European countries and also the natives. Following the Battle of Timbers, the Treaty of Greenville was signed by the Miami, which ceded new lands to the U.S. in exchange for acknowledgment of native claim to the territory that they retained. Another example of territorial acquisition is where France claimed the Louisiana territory, but through misfortunes from the land, Napoleon sold the land west of the Mississippi River to America. Jefferson bought the territory including New Orleans for only 15 million dollars. During the early 1800s William Henry Harrison, through threats, bribes and trickery, concluded many treaties that ceded more land to the U.S. These treaties led Indian ...
- 4106: Kkk
- The History of the Ku Klux Klan The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is one of America's oldest and most feared groups. Driven by the dream of a world with only one master race, the KKK often uses violence and moves above the law to promote their cause. They didn't start of violent, or to promote white supremacy. They have been in the ... left. After the turn of the century, it started again. This time the goal was much larger, freeing America of all non white, Christian Americans. This is the Ku Klux Klan we know today. The new breed of Klan differed from the old version in many ways. The old Klan wanted to set things back to the old ways. They wanted their freedom back and wanted nothing more. Being prejudice was only an effect. In the eyes of the modern KKK, prejudice was the cause. The new Klan was far more violent. People were tarred and feathered, lynched, and beaten for little reason more than being a certain race, nationality or religion. In the 1920's, the KKK prospered. Unlike previous ...

- ... the extensive use of foot patrol. The downside to the political era was that the police got its authority from the politics and the law, the close tie with politics posed as a problem. In New York, for example, the first chief of police could not dismiss officers under his command. The tenure of the chief was limited to one year.

- 4110: English And French Relations I
- English and French Relations in the 20th Century In the 20th Century, the relationship between English and French in Canada has deteriorated. French-English relations were already suffering and continued to do so before World War I. The two world wars and the depression years strained relations greatly. In the post-war years, the Quebecois began to organize, and in some cases, rebelled. The product of these events is a country, threatened with division. Relations before the turn of the century were already strained, and suffered more before World War I. On the heels of the Louis Riel execution, and Ottawa's harsh treatment of the Metis, many francophones were suspicious and even fearful of the looming English majority. As the turn of ...
