- 9531: Isabella I
- ... in the universities and among the nobles, but also among women. Not the least notable trait in the life of Isabella was the making of a last will and testament, which is immortalized in Rosales's picture in the Madrid Museum. Her heart was filled with sympathy for the fate of the American Indians, she charged her successors to protect them and to regard them as they regarded their other subjects, and she pointed out Spain's mission in Africa-a mission which the Moroccan question has tardily enough brought to the world's knowledge. In conclusion, Queen Isabella is a remarkable woman who played an important part in the history of Spain and the world. My thoughts on Queen Isabella Isabella was a queen that had great ...
- 9532: Slavery In America

George Washington was America's hero. He was America's first president. He was a slave owner. He deplored slavery but did not release his slaves. His will stated that they would be released after the death of his wife (The Volume Library, 1988). Washington wasn't the only president to have slaves.

- 9533: History Of Social Security
- ... poor enough to receive money was made on an individual basis. Because of this many needy people did not receive the benefits they were entitled.

(A History of Europe, p.803) Mill ... end of mankind is warranted…in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number is self protection." (A History of Europe, p.803) Again, a liberal is standing up for the people's natural rights, in that, if an action harms a person, it should be eliminated. Also, in The Subjection of Women, "he made the clearest of arguments for the feminist cause, maintaining that there is nothing ... that would justify their possession of different rights." (A History of Europe, p.803) In a time when only the women in two countries, Finland and Norway, Mill thought that all women, who are men's equal, should be allowed to vote in their country and have a say in government. Another example of a liberal was the British political theorist, Thomas Hill Green. Green "urged legislation to promote better ...
- 9535: Paul Ehrlich
- ... To Change Everyone on this earth has to be grateful to Paul Ehrlich because he made so many advances in medical research. Our life expectancy rate would still be around forty years if Ehrlich hadn’t been interested in chemistry and biology as a young boy.

Diphtheria is a disease that particularly affects children and sometimes leads to death. In 1894, mothers no longer had to worry about their child dying of diphtheria because of Ehrlich’s help in the discovery of the antitoxin for the deadly disease. Another discovery Ehrlich made was of a dye called trypan red. Trypan red helped destroy cells that caused sleeping sickness. His research of ...

I think that the highest paying customers for prostitution is us Canadians, ...
