- 1832: Causes Of World War I 2
- ... Archduke Francis Ferdinand. However, many other reasons led to this war, some occurring as far back the late 1800's. Nationalism, militarism, imperialism, and the system of alliances were four main factors that pressed the great powers towards this explosive war. (Clock Magazine 1915 Aug. 17)” Difficult as it may sound, (and it is) this is my argument. Yes Francis Ferdinand was assassinated and sparked the beginning of the war, but ... production of weaponry and any other military supplies. The conflicts caused by this philosophy seem very childish to me.

- 1834: The Ideal American: Malcolm Little
- ... American. But these values can easily be replaced with hard work, dedication, sucess, and ultimately public recognition. In the mind of Americans, these qualites can effectively override the moral purity qualifications. People such as the great tycoons Rockefeller, and Trump. Or even some of our presidents, namely Nixon. They swindled, stole, cheated and downright stepped on the backs of others to reach their positions. At all times they certainly did not practice ethical business practices to achieve their stature. But, there stature is not diminshed much because of how they achieved their greatness. Twenty five years later, President Nixon is eulogized as a great man by most of the country, and excluding text books, Rockefeller is remembered solely for his unselfish use of his money toward many splendid public works. How quickly America selectively forgets what is was evil about the person, when the person is so powerful, and has such an impact on history. Because a man is sucessful and achieves great power, they are revered. It is this power and drive that is admired by Americans and considered ideal traits. That is not to say that humanitarians and religious prophets can't be considered ideal ...

- ... set standards for all later jazz singers, not only by the way he altered the words and melodies of songs but also by improvising without words like an instrument (scat singing) (Arnold12).

- 1837: Ethan Frome 6

Ethan's feelings contradict one another, forming a storm of frustration and indecisiveness forming rage, discontent, depression, and confusion. In the book, an orchard is described. This orchard, full of starved apple-trees is yet another symbol regarding Ethan. Ethan's marriage with Zeena once was able to grow the healthy fruit ... desires to "plant" a bond with her. Ethan did not make this "garden", however Ethan had the desire to make it. This garden would grow and flourish to become a successful grounds for life in great abundance. The "garden" is basically, as I see it, a symbol of "what could be". What could be, cannot be, due to duty. Ethan is bound by duty till the end.

- 1839: Monetary Policy
- ... Prevention of Widespread Bank Failures The prevention of widespread bank failures and panic is, in a way, not a separate goal, since the main loss from large-scale bank failures is likely to be a depression with massive unemployment and economic chaos.
