A Few Greek Gods
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1911.... the creation of man
himself. Slowly, as with any longstanding government, the morals and laws
of society leaked into Greek myths in the form of, "The slain shall be avenged
by Nemesis (a force which causes people to get revenge)," or just, "Kindness
and humbleness are rewarded by the gods." Some myths were even created to
support other myths. The myths started with storytelling and developed into
a
complex system of morals and explanations.
The Greek myths were almost
fruitless without the intervention of the gods. The gods controlled nature
and fought their own battl .....

Stalin
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 415.... a backward or semi-backward country in a short time (see for example, Barry Rubin, Modern Dictators, New
American Library, 1988).
Since the death of Stalin in 1953, it is ironic that perhaps no political issue has been of greater importance to the countries of the
former Soviet Union than dealing with Stalin and the system he created. As the great Soviet poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko wrote in
1962:
Mute stood the soldiers on guard
bronzed by the breeze
Thin smoke curled above the coffin.
And breath seeped through the chinks
as they b .....

Great Depression
Number of pages: 13 | Number of words: 3395.... our country prospered tremendously. However, the rewards of the "Coolidge Prosperity" of the 1920's were not shared evenly among all Americans. According to a study done by the Brookings Institute, the top 0.1% of Americans had a combined income equal to the bottom 42% in 1929. That same top 0.1% of Americans in 1929 controlled 34% of all savings, while 80% of Americans had no savings at all. Automotive industry mogul Henry Ford provides a striking example of the unequal distribution of wealth between the rich and the middle-class. Henry Ford reported a personal income of .....

Articles Of Confederation
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 602.... to estimate the costs of the government and request donations from the states, and to raise armed forces. Congress could also borrow money as well as declare war and enter into treaties and alliances with foreign nations. With this power, Congress was able to make the look good by signing the Treaty of Paris in 1783. This treaty, signed along with Great Britain, concluded the American Revolution. By its terms, Great Britain recognized the thirteen colonies as the free and independent United States of America. However, the most important power was that Congress had the .....

Harry S. Truman
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1482.... He attended the UN founding conference in San Francisco in late April. Truman made the decision to use atomic bombs against Japan, believing that they would end the war quickly, save lives, and place the United States in a position to revolutionize Japanese life. Two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, coupled with Russia's declaration of war against Japan, brought the war to an end on August 14, 1945.
Some persons have argued that Truman used the bomb to influence the Russians rather than the Japanese, but they have demonstrated only that he and some of his aides hoped t .....

Danforth’s Witch Hunt, Is It J
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 497.... Judge Danforth has chose, very biasedly, what to admit as evidence. He used that power whenever he sought fit. When Giles Corey lacks the evidence to prove that Thomas Putnam hath prompted his daughter to falsely cry witchery on George Jacobs, Danforth dismisses the claim. Why you say? The lack of tangible evidence, yet when the young harlots claimed that invisible spirits of Salem community members attacked them, Danforth used it as evidence, that proved to be damning. Hypocrisy, like this, in the judicial system is inexcusable.
Lastly, Judge Danforth hath condemned peop .....

Life In Rome
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 517.... So even when the chariots weren’t there, the people were. Another very chaotic place was the Argiletum. This is the most known shopping center in the empire. Most Romans didn’t own land. "The average Roman had little privacy and still less money." Most Romans who lived in the city were craftsmen, shopkeepers, or general laborers.
"Trade was always conducted on a small scale." This was because each merchant was responsible for himself. The large trading place was between the Forum and the Tiber. The tradesmen and the bankers worked together. The artisans and cr .....

The Suez Crisis Of 1956: The War From Differing Viewpoints
Number of pages: 12 | Number of words: 3197.... to help enforce the ceasefire, was another important outcome.
This paper, however, will not have the goal of examining these specific
events in relation to the war, nor will it try to determine which factors were
most significant. My aim will be to gain a more complete understanding of the
effect of the crisis by reviewing key events of the war from two different
perspectives: the Israeli and the Arab points of view, plus the experiences of
the European powers as well. Through a brief comparison of both the coverage of
the War by the differing authors and the var .....
