.... this day and age sparks fear in the hearts of most people on this planet. According to General Douglas MacArthur, "We have had our last chance. If we do not devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door." The decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japanese citizens in August, 1945, as a means to bring the long Pacific war to an end was justified-militarily, politically and morally. The goal of waging war is victory with minimum losses on one's own side and, if possible, on the enemy's side. No one disputes the fact that th .....

.... in use in many classrooms until very recently (including Montgomery). Sadly, Pythagoras, and other mathematicians, hit a roadblock which stopped mathematics almost completely until modern times. Irrational numbers scared them, and they decided that something irrational had no place in the rational world. Of course, today we have overcome those fears, and there are several irrational numbers which are indespensible, like pi. The Greeks also evolved history and drama. Both had been around for a while, but the Greeks brought new ideas to them, and changed them into the fo .....

.... They operated in the territories captured by the German army during the invasion of the Soviet Union and, with the cooperation of German army units and local militias, murdered over a million men, women, and children. It was the story that did not end until 1952 when Otto Ohlendorf, the last surviving commander of an Einsatzgeuppe, climbed the steps of the gallows to pay for the 90,000 murders his command committed. There have been many genocides in human history, but only one Holocaust. I believe the Holocaust was the destruction of millions of Jews by Nazis. Between 1933 .....

.... national law, an example of this would be the “Dred Scott decision. The other way is the federalist position, where the Constitution grants broad power to the federal government. Two great examples of this type of interpretation were Chief Justices John Marshall and Earl Warren. During the years the Supreme Court has gone through some changes of its’ own. While Chief Justice Earl Warren was there the first African-American Justice was named to the court: Thurgood Marshall. Chief Justice Warren’s leadership marked a force in social issues. Along the lines of desegregation .....

.... provinces or nomes (Mendelssohn 15). Provinces and nomes are names for tribes. "As time went on, some of the tribes formed groups and about six thousand years ago they had coalesced into two kingdoms, that of the valley, Upper Egypt, and that of the Delta, Lower Egypt" (Mendelssohn 15). Each kingdom made their own distinctive differences by choosing animals as their symbols. The king of Upper Egypt wore a white crown which was affixed to the head of its totem animal, the vulture (Mendelssohn 15). The king of lower Egypt wore red and carried the head of the cobra (Men .....

.... with his wealth and felt the need to give it away. In the excerpt, I feel he was assessing his own situation of wealth and was trying to encourage the rest of mankind to not live the type of life he had experienced. He stated, “it is a nobler ideal that man should labor, not for himself alone, but in and for a brotherhood of his fellows, and share with them all in common…” I sense that the reason he made this statement was to encourage mankind to give away their wealth and not hold it for their own possession. Carnegie felt that society should work together instead .....

.... history. I believe that children and young teens think that history is just merely boring facts and do not find any significance behind the historical events that have happened. People who actually find history boring do not realize how much our ancestors have done to get us where we are today. Many also do not recognize the importance of history and how it has evolved. The young should appreciate that history is a part of how the people and events of the past have gained so much freedom for all of America. I particularly never appreciated history. I always thought that i .....

.... of safety among the upper class. The feudal system involved the granting of land or a fief by a lord to his vassal. The lords and vassals were exclusively the very wealthy and powerful with the king as the highest lord and the knight as the lowest vassal. The main purpose of the feudal system was to provide fighting men who could ensure protection. Feudalism was the first emergence of organized government in the Dark Ages. Charlemagne was a born leader and a talented general, but also a man so convinced of the value of religion and education that he made a genuine attempt to .....
