As in all businesses money is the most important criteria for the big companies so they have no morale problems with making warfare into entertainment as long as it's selling. The same goes for the film industry, but at least some war films also describe the pain and hopelessness of war.

"No, but you can exchange your money at the service desk upstairs in Thrifty's." Finally, we were making some progress, only one problem, we'd never been here before. We had no idea where to find Thrifty's. "Where would that be," I asked her. "Thrifty's? Oh, that's right next to Payless Drugs," was her response.

- 6027: The Rajahs Of The Western Worl
- ... rules may be liberal, there are still many relationships that are based on the concept of spoiling the man. The reason I am addressing this topic is because it features very prominently in both Ibsen s The Wild Duck and Miller s Death of a Salesman; although both plays centre around Hialmar Ekdal and Willy Loman respectively, it is not their strength that their families rely on. Although both fancy themselves as the successful breadwinners it is ... the money they have last for as long as possible, even if this means denying themselves something; as Hedvig says to her mother when they are talking about saving but then you and I didn't need anything hot for dinner as father was out .

- 6029: African-Americans In The Civil War
- ... black participation in the Civil War began more than a hundred years before the outbreak of the war. Blacks in America had been in bondage since early colonial times. In 1776, when Jefferson proclaimed mankinds inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the institution of slavery had become firmly established in America.

The invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793 provided a demand for cotton thus increasing the demand for slaves. By the 1800s slavery was an institution throughout the South, an institution in which slaves had few rights, and could be sold or leased by their owners. They lacked any voice in the government and lived a life of hardship. Considering these circumstances, the slave population never abandoned the desire for freedom or the determination to resist control by the slave owners. The slave's reaction to this desire and determination resulted in outright rebellion and individual acts of defiance. However, historians place the strongest reaction in the enlisting of blacks in the war itself. Batty in The Divided ...
