- ... to others. As the Greeks grew toward city-states and colonization, it became the destiny and ambition of the hero to gain honor by serving his city. The second major characteristic of the early Greek world was the supernatural. The two worlds were not separate, as the gods lived in the same world as the men, and they interfered in the men's lives as they chose to. It was the gods who sent suffering and evil to men.

- ... transpired. By changing the unfavorable events that led to despair and continuing the benefits to society, one can understand why they happen and better the future.

By the events that led to the 1930s, new crazes had developed in many of these areas, while other areas remained in continuity.

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 ...

This is shown countless amount of times in his journey through New York and even before he left. The setting is in the 1950's; so I'm pretty sure that he didn't encounter any transvestites, lesbians, or anything that extreme of phoniest. Or on the ... that what mad, Holden so made Stradlater was perpetrating in other word being "phony" every time he went out all GQ after using that filthy razor.

Life seems to be at warp speed whirring by in a blur of sound and l ight that left those unprepared grasping at the wind. Here we are in 1998 and we seem to be on the verge of a similar chaos.

- 779: Western Expansion
- ... this profoundly affected American society. Motives After the revolution, the winning of independence opened up the Western country and was hence followed by a steady flow of settlers to the Mississippi valley. By 1840, 10 new western states had been added to the Federal union. The frontier line ran through Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas on the western side of the river. All parts of the valley except Wisconsin and Minnesota were well populated. Thus a whole new section had been colonized with lasting effects on the American institutions, ideals and ways of living. The far west was the land of high mountains, deserts, strange rock formations, brilliant colors and immense distance. Fur ... for people to get jobs now, in contrast with the cities where there was unemployment.

- 780: Human Cloning
- ... reality for the future. The initial public response to this news, here and abroad, was primarily one of concern. In some cases, these concerns were amplified by largely fictional and mistaken accounts of how this new technology might dramatically reshape the future of our society. The sources of these feelings were complex, but usually centered around the basic fact that this technique would permit human procreation in an asexual manner, would ... science known as eugenics, which basically is an attempt to improve the human race. Advances in eugenics have only helped mankind in pushing forward to a greater civilization, a more perfect evolution (Silberner, 5).
