- 821: Analysis of "The Age of Anxiety"
- ... self-actualization is in vain. W. H. Auden was born in York, England, in 1907, the third and youngest son of Constance and George Auden (Magill 72). His poetry in the 1930's reflected the world of his era, a world of depression, Fascism, and war. His works adopt a prose of a "clinical diagrostician [sic] anatomizing society" and interpret social and spiritual acts as failures of communication (Magill 74). They also put forth a diagnosis ... himself (Nelson 117-118). Malin, the most dominant character overall, is a medical intelligence officer on leave from the Canadian Air Force. His background labels him as the "would-be doctor and leader" in the world of "The Age of Anxiety".

- 822: Reality - What It Is And How It Works
- ... the illusion of reality with a piece of machinery known as the computer. This is done with several computer-user interfaces used to simulate the senses.

Since the technology is fairly young, these ... in real life, people rely mainly on vision to get places and do things. The eyes are approximately 6.5 centimeters apart, and allow you to have a full-colour, three-dimensional view of the world. Stereoscopy, in itself, is not a very new idea, but the new twist is trying to generate completely new images in real- time.

- 823: Holocaust 9
- The world's biggest desolation that caused the murders of millions of Jewish people took place during WWII. The Holocaust orchestrated by the Nazi Empire destroyed millions of lives and created questions about humanity that may never be answered. Many psychological effects caused by the Holocaust forever changed the way the Jewish people view the world and themselves. The Jewish people have been scarred for generations and may never be able to once again associate with the rest of the free world. Further, these scars have now become the looking glass through which the survivors and their children view the world. Through narrow eyes, the survivors relate everything to the experiences they endured during the Holocaust. ...
- 824: Fair Labor Act Of 1938
- ... 1923, the Court by a narrow margin voided the District of Columbia law that set minimum wages for women.

On "Black Monday," May 27, 1935, the Supreme Court disarmed the NRA as the major depression-fighting weapon of the New Deal. The 1935 case of Schechter Corp. v. United States tested the constitutionality of the NRA by questioning a code to improve the sordid conditions under which chickens were slaughtered and sold to retail ...

There, out of his element and surrounded by hardened criminals, he had plenty of time to contemplate life and read The New Testament (the only book he was allowed).

In addition, Dostoyevsky's work cogently illustrates St. Paul's words in his first Epistle to the Corinthians that “To shame the wise, God has chosen what the world counts folly, and to shame what is strong, God has chosen what the world counts weakness” (I Corr. 1:27).

Which were very active in all matters of public interest, he exerted considerable influence ... labour he favors the notion of independent nationality where each country, on its own, would devote itself its own economic activity. One author, who wrote about Carey, stated that "almost all the evils in the world he attributed to international trade, and all the virtues flowed from domestic commerce."(Oser, 235) This view was realized because foreign trade, in eyes of a protectionist, destroyed small communities and replaced them with cities ... develop the mineral treasures of the earth, and from the constant waste of property and of labour, is more than the total value of the merchandise received in the Union from every quarter of the world; and yet, it is policy which forbids the opening of mines, and the development of the coal and metallic ores that so much abound; and by means of which structures of every kind could ...

The majority of the immigrants were natives of Southern and Eastern Europe, with immigrants from Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Russia constituting more than half of the total.

With the start of the war, the ... volume declined sharply, and the annual average from 1915 to 1918 was little more than 250,000. In 1921 the number again rose; 800,000 immigrants were admitted. Thereafter the number declined in response to new conditions in Europe and to the limitations established by U.S. law.
