- 411: The United States As A World Power: How Much Longer Will The US Be The Policeman of the World ?
- ... a super power for decades, and since America has always involved themselves in other countries' problems. Instead of isolationism, the country has practiced getting involved. Since the Monroe Presidency, America has been named the World's police force. Dispelling anarchists, and stopping coos, the united states portrays itself as the world protector. Since Monroe, some Americans have felt that isolation is the way to go, and most feel that it is our right to offer assistance. Two recent incidents, Operation Desert Storm and The War in Bosnia have allowed the United States to show off it's strength, both on the military and political level. It has also given the chance for America to evaluate it's foreign policy, but can the World Super-Power continue to police other countries in light of earlier battles, or should the stationed troops pack up and home for good. Americans have always been overseas, ...

- ... scoured Republican Warren G. Harding against Democrat James M. Cox. Cox supported Wilson and the League of Nations in the election. However, Harding won the election in a landslide, which was a sign of America¡¦s frustration with Wilson and his optimistic and liberal policies.

Harding made quite a few excellent ... in 1923, and Vice President Calvin Coolidge took the office as President. He conveyed the virtues of morality, honesty, and economy to the presidency. Coolidge was very tacit turn. Coolidge followed the remaining of Harding¡¦s ¡§hands-off¡¨ policies and was reelected in the 1924 election. The United States had one of the greatest periods of prosperity ever during his presidency from 1923 to 1929. When Coolidge decided not to run ... conservative as Harding or Coolidge. Conversely, many historians believe that if the Depression had not occurred he would probably have been a good president. Later, Americans detested Hoover because he failed to solve the nation¡¦s troubles out of the Depression. The United States embraced a laissez-faire policy in the economy during the 1920s.

- 413: Civil War - The War Of Northern Aggression
- ... Civil War" just like they are the truth of the creation vs. evolution debate. They’re blinded in the same way as well, misleading text books. The truth is that the North, Lincoln, etc. weren’t as great as they claimed to be, and that they went to illegal measures for an unjust cause. The public school system was used as a tool of the government and still is to skew ... mind into believing whatever it wants. For example: at the present time the school child has evolution drilled into their head as fact, even though it has already been accounted for as false. The C.S.A. (Confederate States of America) President Jefferson Davis actually predicted this. He taught that if the South lost, then the North would write it’s history. Therefore, the generations to come wouldn’t understand the Confederate call for independence (Kennedy 17). The public school system was put into effect after the North won the war. It’s plan was ...
- 414: Hamlet Was Weak and Diminutive
- ... he is most bound to act, he remains puzzled, undecided, and skeptical. He dallies with his purposes, until the occasion is lost, and finds out some pretense to relapse into indolence and thoughtfulness again. Hamlet’s first scene with his mother reveals a weakness other than his father’s death. The quote, “I have that within which passeth show, / These but the trappings and the suits of woe,” is used by Hamlet to mock his mother for her lack of grief for his father ... dead husband. At this point in the speech, Hamlet may merely mean that his grief for his father is genuine, but “passeth show” may also mean that he has some sort of feeling that can’t be shown by “the trappings and suits of woe” --his black clothing and cloudy face. These feelings that may very well be hidden from his own conscious are - what I believe - a truth to ...
- 415: No Exit And Its Existentialist
- I would like to take this opportunity to discuss Jean Paul Sartre's philosophy and it's integration into his play "No Exit". Embedded within the character interactions are many Sartrean philosophical themes. Personal attributes serve to demonstrate some of the more dominant ideas in Sartre's writings. Each of the three characters in the play show identifiable characteristics of sexual perversion, bad faith, and interactions of consciousness. This play takes an interesting setting, that of the afterlife. The plot centers ...
- 416: Persian Gulf War-the Feat Of T
- On August 2nd, 1990 Iraqi military forces invaded and occupied the small Arab state of Kuwait. The order was given by Iraqi dictatorial president Saddam Hussein. His aim was apparently to take control Kuwait's oil reserves (despite its small size Kuwait is a huge oil producer; it has about 10 per cent of the world's oil reserves ). Iraq accused Kuwait, and also the United Arab Emirates, of breaking agreements that limit oil production in the Middle East. According to Saddam Hussein, this brought down world oil prices severely and caused financial loss of billions of dollars in Iraq's annual revenue. Saddam Hussein had the nearly hopeless task of justifying the invasion. He plead the fact that Kuwait had been part of the Ottoman province of Basra, a city in the south of ...
