- ... a nationwide system of twelve regional re-served districts, each with its own central bank. The final authority over these banks was granted to the Federal Reserve Board, which guaranteed a substantial measure of public control.

In 1914, Woodrow Wilson ... more. In April, 1914, a small group of American sailors was mistakenly arrested in the Atlantic Seaport of Tampico, Mexico.

- 2072: How Dole Could Have Used The Issues To His Advantage
- ... is stick to his guns but reassure the nation that even though we do not all agree, we must not let it divide us. Another mainstay, in terms of issues, is that of crime.

- 2073: Freedom Through The Press
- ... for the media accomplish this informative purpose, so that we the people can rule ourselves, can have a democracy, and can be free, we must do three things: Redefine democracy, Listen to the press, and control our press. Our first problem is to redefine democracy. Imagine, a young polish factory worker reads daily in papers that tell him he is free, because the communistic government allows elections. The Press tells him his government has the economy under control. Yet he finds himself spending his time and money standing in line to buy over-priced bread so his babies can live another day. Among the graffiti that began to appear in Poland was an ... great country. In summation, we must first redefine democracy as NOT the freedom to vote, but actually, freedom through the press. Secondly, we must listen and become informed of our media. And Third, we must control or censor the press through what we read. And for what reason must these things burn like fire in our hearts? Democracy: n. Freedom. Those who have died in the struggle for free media ...

- ... proportion of it available for use in such circumstances. Such weapons might be sited in a neutral, and sparsely-populated territory such as on one of the polar ice-caps, and would remain under the control of the individual owning countries. However in circumstances in which an individual nuclear power was resisting the world government, and agreement on scales of activity had been defined by a global-sampling referendum, the possibility ... to review its laws and at least suggest amendments. It would also probably be sensible for global financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to eventually be brought under the control of the world government. These very significant global powers would then be under a more direct democratic control, and would be more likely to make a fairer spreading of the world's financial resources into the impoverished underdeveloped world. As before there is every chance that there would be enormous popular pressure ...
- 2075: Julius Caesar: The Corruption of Power
- ... of Caius Cassius. The way they abused their power either led to an assassination, a self-destruction, or a tyranny rule. Caesar had seized power from Pompey and Pompeys sons, in order to take control of Rome. He killed them in a battle and returned back home during the Feast of Lupercal. This was the day he gained authority of Rome and then his power was now out of control. Flavius and Marullus were the only townspeople to see anything wrong with Caesars new power. They commanded the cheering crowd to go home and ask for the forgiveness of the gods for the wrong ... war, even something malicious. He was a corrupted, unfair individual. Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, and Caius Cassius were corrupt men. When nobody was there to check and limit their power, their authority was out of control. Absolute power corrupts ones sense of decency.
- 2076: Hamlet: Fate
- ... of King Hamlet. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." The characters of the play know that there are powers at work in the kingdom.

The play Hamlet illustrates a world where the people are unable to comprehend and control the vast powers of Fate that commands their lives.

- 2077: Bugs Bunny and the Marlboro Man
- ... this show, start punching and kicking people. Also, many "harmless" cartoons portray acts of violence. Many Bugs Bunny cartoons involve hitting people with frying pans, dropping an anvil on someone, or Elmer Fudd firing his gun repeatedly. Movies, which are rated, unlike TV shows, also contain these bad influences. Many movies contain a main character who smokes or drinks through the entire movie. In one of my favorite movies, Smokey and ... his hand. Through the entire movie the Bandit is running from the police. Violence and guns are also a major part in the more popular movies. I almost every action movie the hero carries a gun. Terminator 2 was one of the most popular movies of its time, and was later shown on public television. The main character carried a sawed-off shotgun through the entire movie. This movie, when released had a rating of R, but was shown on public television at 8 p.m. There are many other movies that contain violence and gun fights, in fact too many to count. Although all I have listed here are bad examples set by television, it mean that television is all bad. There are many educational programs on television that ...

- ... fence realized the situation and could not communicate it to the people at the rear to keep the people from crowding up the tunnel. The biggest thing that caused this disaster was the failure of control by police and the communication breakdown. Personal Reflection I see a correlation between this stampede and the riot in L.A. in that the leadership failed. The chief at Hillsborough froze and lost his capacity to control the situation. In L.A. the chief also lost his capacity of control. In both situations there was no plans for emergency procedures. In L.A. the police were undertrained and in Hillsborough there was just no plan in case something went wrong. The saddest part about ...

It only took the one idea embedded into Macbeth's head to lead him toward corruption. After Macbeth grows more sinful and overpowered with greed he does not make any real attempt to change, and his conscious is bothered by this. Slowly Macbeth loses grasp of his sanity and self-control. Being consumed with power, Macbeth lets nothing stand in the way of his reign, because his reign is all that he has left now.

- ... indecision, which spawned from flaws within his character. Establishing Hamlet's sanity is a difficult task. It's stability in his life is questionable, but his contemplation of madness has left him vulnerable to its control. This control has led Hamlet to act outside of character and in an extremely peculiar fashion. Hamlet is an instrument of his father, his own self, and of sanity.

He is conscious of his actions and openly admits to madness in them. The problem that lies is its control. Sanity is questioned to the point that it has become overbearing and manipulative.
