- 1921: Truman Doctrine
- ... for the change in United States foreign policy, from isolationist to internationalists; thus we were drawn into two wars of containment and into world affairs. The Truman Doctrine led to a major change in U.S. foreign policy from its inception - aid to Turkey and Greece - to its indirect influence in Korea and Vietnam. The aftermath of World War II inspired the U.S. to issue a proclamation that would stem Communist influence throughout the world. However, our zeal in that achievement sent our soldiers to die in Vietnam and Korea for a seemingly futile cause. It must be the policy of the U.S. to support free peoples. This is no more than a frank recognitions that totalitarian regimes imposed on free peoples . . . undermine the foundations of . . . peace and security of the United States. The Truman Doctrine would ...

- ... British. Major General Horatio Gates was the commander of the Army of the North. His English counterpart was General John Burgoyne.

- 1924: British Through
- ... Agencies British authors believe that their country of Great Britain is shaping world events potentially and morally through its intelligence agencies. Morally , there are several methods in which they have shown this. In Ian Fleming's books, James Bond embodied the idea of a consumer society which have morally affected society.

- Canadian Identity Test. 1: The Canadian Identity is the stuff that all Canadian's have in common, it's like we invented hockey so that is considered part of our identity.

- 1926: Nuclear Power for All
- ... established to restrict the use of nuclear weapons. “Are the Chinese building a gun that ultimately they’re going to point at us?” asks Kent Harrington, a former CIA Intelligence Officer for Asia. “I don’t think today, we can reach that conclusion. But we need to talk to them about it now, to make sure it doesn’t happen in the future” (Waller). This effort of the Chinese now seems more like an attempt at intimidation than one of simply becoming equal to the other nuclear super powers. The idea behind China’s recent frenzy to get all the weapons and technology available is for them to be able to elevate themselves to the level of a major world power. As stated by Mao Zedong, “The atomic ...
- 1927: Sixteen Most Significant Events in US History between 1789 to 1975
- ... Marbury v Madison is arguably one of the most important decisions by the Supreme Court in United States' history. The case, which was presided over in 1803 by Chief Justice John Marshall, concerned President Adams's appointment of William Marbury as Justice of the Peace in the District of Columbia. Adams's term ended before Marbury took office, and James Madison, the new Secretary of State, attempted to withhold the appointment. Marbury petitioned the Supreme Court under Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 to force ... decision had immediate implications. It clearly established the position and power of the court in government. It required Congress to consider potential constitutional implications of all future legislation. On the other hand, the Monroe Doctrine's implications would not be realized until beyond the 1850's when policies such as Secretary of State Seward's denunciation of French intervention in Mexico and the Roosevelt Corollary would be based on the ...
- 1928: The Life and Rule of Cleopatra

- 1929: A Wild Sheep Chase
- Boku, thirty years old, is in many respects an average middle-class citizen who, free from excessive financial worries, enjoys the kind of independence his status bestows. A product of 1960’s, he takes endless pleasure in smoking, drinking, and eating in bars, cafes, and restaurants. He dresses with casual chic and frequents the movies regularly. His tastes in music and reading materials, though predominantly popular, are ... financial holdings; it is this man who indirectly draws Boku into the maelstrom of the sheep chase and robs him of his independence. No wonder, then, that there is no core, only vacuity, to Boku's being. He is literally without a past (or a future, for that matter). Victims of erasure, neither his family nor his divorced wife, for instance, impinge much on his consciousness. Paradoxically, he is often filled ... loss is not clearly spelled out. There are, at most, references to the style and climate of the 1960s, a past that Boku tends to estheticize into an indulgent, wistful nostalgia. The thinness of Boku's identity is exposed by the absence of self-examination and in his relations with other people. If, as Jean-Paul Sartre claims, true identity is forged in the crucible of the dialectic between self ...
- 1930: The Effects of Aristotelian Teleological Thought on Darwin's Mechanistic Views of Evolution
- The Effects of Aristotelian Teleological Thought on Darwin's Mechanistic Views of Evolution The need to understand organisms has been a much sought goal of science since its birth as biology. History shows Aristotle and Charles Darwin as two of the most powerful biologists of all time. Aristotle's teleological method was supported widely for over 2,000 years. One scientist remarks that the Aristotelian teleology "has been the ghost, the unexplained mystery which has haunted biology through its whole history" (Ayala, 10). If Aristotle's approach has frightened biology, then Darwin, who actually nicknamed himself the "Devils Chaplain," and his idea of natural selection has virtually dissected Aristotle's ghost. While Aristotle explained biology through a plan and a ...
