Revolutions Of 1848 Europe
520 words
The revolutions of 1848 occurred in almost every
country of Europe. The revolutions left all of the
countries involved wondering why it had happened
and just exactly what it was that had happened.
People were revolting against the extensive
government control that dominated their lives. The
people who determined the laws of a constitutional
monarchy were virtually all nobles and
upperclassmen. The people wanted to be represented
equally so that they would not be treated unfairly

Natural Disaster Birth Control
462 words
One of the biggest problems with the world today
is our rapidly growing global population. With the
current population being at over 6 billion, every
second five people are born and two people die
which means the population grows by 3 people per
second. I predict that if we do not do something
about this problem soon, the Earth is going to
reach its maximum capacity and we will slowly run
out of resources, which could cause wide-spread
famine and eventually lead to the population
dropping down t...

Irish Immigrants Potato Famine
1,172 words
The end of the civil war and the beginning of the
industrial revolution sparked an increase of
immigration into the United States because of a
need for low paid workers. Immigrants from around
the world fled to America taking valuable jobs
away from American citizens. The Great Wave of
immigration halted the development of black
improvement. The fault lies not on the immigrants,
who sought out salvation, but in government, who
made no serious attempts to stop the flow of
immigration. The industr...

Of Famine And Green Beer
360 words
Many people today feel the celebration of St.
Patricks Day is mostly associated with corned
beef, cabbage and lots of beer. Some would add
that parades including step dancing and music
filled with the blare of bagpipes are integral to
the festival as well. These characteristics are
true, but the celebration is actually a
remembrance of the sad and painful history of the
Irish. One such event was The Irish Potato Famine,
in which a million people died, and over a million
and a half fled to Americ...

Much like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin was one of
the most ruthless and diabolical people in the
history of the world. Hitler once said of Stalin,
He is a beast, but hes a beast on a grand scale
who must command our unconditional respect. In his
own way, he is a hell of a fellow! (Stalin Breaker
of Nations, p. xvi) What Hitler said of Stalin is
only his opinion, and it is not a valid one at
that. For you must consider the source, it takes a

Food Supply Developing Countries

Countries have typically linked their national
security closely with advanced weapon systems and
a large military budget. The key to national
security and survival, however, is a reliable food
supply. A food supply must be maintained despite
such factors as land conversion, population growth
and economic inequalities. Reliable food supplies
in developing countries are in jeopardy due to
deliberate crop destruction and inefficient food
distribution; resulting in widespread chronic
hunger. Each ye...

Loss Of Innocence First Hand
1,790 words
Nowhere can be found a land without violence. But
nowhere but Ireland can be found a land with more
violence. Eavan Boland uses the theme of violence
in many of the poems that she writes. In some way,
shape, or form, violence is incorporated and used
to explain loss, grief, or exploitation. But it is
when Boland contrasts this violence with another
aspect of human life that we find the true meaning
of the word, and the truly devastating results it
can wreak on all existence. By contrasting the

Slavery and the Bible The first mention of slavery
in the Bible is found in Noahs declaration, Cursed
be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his
brothers (Gen. 9: 25). He said this after waking
up from a naked, drunken stupor and learning that
his son Ham had mocked him. Although Ham was the
guilty party, Noahs statement was directed at Hams
youngest son Canaan. If he was involved with his
father in this act of disrespect, the statement
can be taken as the pronouncement of a curse,

Throughout history, the thought of overpopulation
has always concerned scientists. There have been
