- 25221: The New Deal
- The New Deal During the 1930's, America witnessed a breakdown of the Democratic and free enterprise system as the US fell into the worst depression in history. The economic depression that beset the United States and other countries was unique in its severity and its consequences. At the depth of the depression, in 1933, one American worker in every four was out of a job. The great industrial slump continued throughout the 1930's, shaking the foundations of Western capitalism. The New Deal describes the program of US president Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1939 of relief, recovery, and reform. These new policies aimed to solve the economic problems created by the depression of the 1930's. When Roosevelt was nominated, he said, "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people." The New Deal included federal action of unprecedented scope to stimulate industrial recovery, assist ...

And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that ... identified with works. (p.5) He uses the word "conscience" as an awareness of sin, or a mechanism for the awareness of sin, and thus the source of affliction and terror. (p. 5) In Luther's usage, the word "conscience" has a negative connotation, because it is put into play only as a result of sin: "If there is any conscience or fear present, this is a sign that this [passive ... opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other." (Galatians 5:1) In explaining the doctrine of justification by faith, Luther takes Paul's statement that Christ "gave Himself for our sins" (Galatians 1:4), and elaborates: "For if our sins can be removed by our own satisfactions, why did the Son of God have to be given ...
- 25223: The Awakening: Edna
- ... with her life--"she grew fond of her husband, realizing with some unaccountable satisfaction that no trace of passion or excessive and fictitious warmth colored her affection, thereby threatening its dissolution." (Chopin, 558). Edna doesn't know what she wants from life. It is evident from the way she tries to change her life to make it better, that she wants her own happiness. She refuses to stay home on Tuesdays, which she is expected to do to satisfy the social conventions of the time. She spends more time on her art. She goes to races and parties all the time. All of this doesn't seem to help her maintain happiness all the time. There were days when she was very happy without knowing why. She was happy to be alive and breathing, when her whole being seemed to be ... a grotesque Pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation. (Chopin, 588) Edna struggled to make her life more fulfilling. Edna wanted what? Passion, excitement? She states to the Doctor, "But I don't want anything but my own way. That is wanting a good deal, of course, when you have to trample upon the lives, the hearts, the prejudices of others--but no matter--still, I shouldn' ...

- ... the "have nots." The "haves" are those with imperializing power, the dominating group. Localizing power would be the group of the "have nots." Localizing power refers to the weaker, resistant group. Privacy relates to Fiske’s theory quite explicitly. The government, criminals, and businesses would be the "haves," while everyday citizens would be the "have nots." Everyday people do not have the power to ensure their privacy like the "haves" do ... confidential or to protect its integrity (Summers, 45). The process of encoding and decoding information is called encryption. Historically, encryption was used only in the military and for diplomatic reasons. Reasons that deal with Fiske’s theory of power. The government wanted to ensure that they ultimately had sole power of the encryption outflow. They have kept tight reins on the "keys" used to translate coded text into plaintext, prohibiting the export of secret codes under United States munitions laws and ensuring that the encryption scheme used by businesses was weak enough that the National Security Agency’s supercomputers could cut through it like butter (Elmer-Dewitt, 1).

Claudio: I would scarce trust myself, though I had sworn the contrary, if Hero would be my wife From this passage we can see that women in the early 1600’s had no authority and were given away to their husbands without a say in the situation.

- ... Cait E-mail: caitc1@aol.com Slavery is the South Essay #3 Slavery played a dominating and critical role in much of Southern life.
