.... was doing great prior to the stock market crash. People were investing and the country was on the rise. But with such problems as bad investments, bad income distribution, bad banking, bad foreign trade, and over-expansion of credit the stock market crashed and the U.S. was heading to a depression. One of the first Acts to affect the economy was the Emergency Banking Relief Act. This act authorized the Federal Reserve Board to issue more currency. It prohibited a private hoarding of gold and exporting of gold. In Roosevelt’s second day of term he issued a four-day ho .....

.... thought to be some of his greatest accomplishments. He sought to destroy commonly held myths through his writings and by identifying, selecting and promoting a talented group of well-educated African-Americans to become leaders and role models in their communities. To achieve greater understanding and harmony between the two races, Locke declared that "...there is a growing realization that in social effort the cooperative basis must supplant long distance philanthropy." This meant he felt that Negro people would have to develop self-sufficiency and no longer rely on seeming .....

.... advances towards the surrounding countries. The Truman Doctrine was written to deter the Red spread from Greece. This Doctrine “committed the United States to permanent European presence (Lecture 28, D4).” This meant the U.S. would need to keep a strong military at hand. The Government sought to maintain its’ military dominance, and further the development of the atom bomb. Thus a nuclear age began. Before the war, the American people were unsettled by the Great Depression. Unemployment was high. But the Second World War brought a lot of people into the work force, in .....

.... with the blood really standing out against the rest of the surroundings. I didn't notice any compression problems or anything. Beautiful transfer, but they could make this movie look like a Gameboy game and I'd still love it. AUDIO: The sound is Dolby 5.1 and Dolby 2 Channel, and it sounds great. It's definitely sounding better than it ever has before. There are some great uses of the surround because most of the movie is driving and there are some rather nice explosions. EXTRAS: I'll admit that the disc is rather lacking in this category. However, it does have some gr .....

.... his government, a group called the “National Coalition Government of Conservatives, Labourites and Liberals”, stated several ideas which together would cause a solution to the falling financial and industrial markets. Great Britain first off closed their market from others, forcing the people to purchase their products rather than ones from other countries. Great Britain thought that if they could the costs of productions were reduced then more people would be willing to buy more and subsequently restart the markets purchasing cycle. Prime Minister Macdonald stated this i .....

.... control of what people may say or hear, write or read, or see or do. Censorship can affect books, newspapers, magazines, motion pictures, radio and television programs, and speeches.” (World Book 345) Most of the early problems with the censorship of music came about in the early 1950's. This was the first real era of rock and roll in America. In 1954 a Michigan Congresswoman tried to pass a bill that stated that the mailing of any explicit or pornographic album could lead to some hefty jail time, up to five years if convicted. When looking back, the 50's had some of the .....

.... in nature down to its mathematical components. Max was searching for this universal constant, but was unsure of what he was actually looking for. On a daily basis, Max used his supercomputer, Euclid, (which spanned his entire Chinatown apartment) to make attempts at computing this value. Some days he would make accurate predictions, others he might not have been so lucky, but he never considered it luck – it was all math. Two groups apparently had been following Max at this point – a group of Hasidic Jews and a stock market trading house. They were both also seeking this .....

.... to 1929 bore little relation to actual economic conditions. In fact, the boom in the stock market and in real estate, along with the expansion in credit (created, in part, by low-paid workers buying on credit) and high profits for a few industries, concealed basic problems. Thus the U. S. stock market crash that occurred in October 1929, with huge losses, was not the fundamental cause of the Great Depression, although the crash sparked, and certainly marked the beginning of, the most traumatic economic period of modern times. By 1930, the slump was apparent, but few peopl .....
