being promoted to a derivatives trader for

came about, one must have a basic understanding of
the nature of a derivative and what they are
designed to do. Initial...

different aspects within these three days:
Buford's defense, Pickett's charge, and the
defense of Lil' Round top. A climax of a conflict
between two cultures with such vastly different
ideals that they could not coexist in "one nation,

Erich Maria Remarque Quiet On The Western Front

World War I was the first total war. Once the war
began, the countries involved mobilized their
entire populations and economic resources to
achieve victory on the battlefield. The term home
front, which was widely employed for the first
time during World War I, perfectly symbolized this
new concept of a war in which the civilian
population behind the lines was directly and
critically involved in the war effort. The war
began as a clash between two coalitions of
European countries. The first coa...

Power Of One Richard Wright

"Inclusion, not exclusion, is the key to survival.
" What does this mean? To say the least, the
definition is clearly stated in The Power of One,
as well as Richard Wright's Black Boy. Actually,
both these works resemble each other by both
having many types of isolation. Initially, P. K.
in The Power of One and Richard in Black Boy are
isolated by members of their family. Subsequently,
they are both excluded by society because of their
backgrounds. Ultimately, they are excluded within

THE GRAND FABRICATION It is almost as difficult to
find consistent information about the incident at
Fort Pillow as it is to determine the moral
significance of its outcome. Scholars disagree
about exactly what transpired on April 12, 1864 at
Fort Pillow, when General Nathan Bedford Forrest
captured the fort with his 1, 500 troops and
claimed numerous Union lives in the process (Wyeth
250). It became an issue of propaganda for the
Union, and as a result the facts were grossly
distorted. After cl...

and the failure of these battles, Haig still
repeated the same principles of attack, although
on a vastly greater scale. Yet again, he made no
allowance for the failure of the artillery to cut
the wire and completely misjudged the capacity of
the Germans t...

Suicide Suicide (, 1) Suicide is intentional
self-inflicted acts that end in death (Suicide,
Compton's). After a series of traumatic events,
normal coping abilities can be pushed over the
edge; the result may be suicide. In each year, an
average of 30, 000 suicide deaths occur in the
United States. It is estimated that 5, 000 of
those suicides are committed by teenagers (SAVE,
2). One major reason that the suicide rate among
