Running For A Third Term
1,746 words
When you first start thinking about Franklin
Delano Roosevelt you might think of the New Deal,
fireside chats, or possibly the United States role
in World War II. Throughout Roosevelt's Rein as
president, he has had to make many decisions
possible more than any other president before or
after him. Simply because no other president has
been in office for more than two terms, except of
course for FDR. He was elected for an
unprecedented four terms. He was first elected as
president in 1932 beating...

George W Bush Presidential Candidate
758 words
The two major party presidential candidates this
election cycle are indeed a paradigm of paradox:
on one hand is a man who knows little yet is
likeable, on the other is one who can explain
chlorofluorocarbon formation while tackling
environmental foreign policy in a debate. Which
candidate is worthy of the vote? The leading
Presidential contender, according to dubious
late-election cycle polls, is George W. Bush.
Never in recent times, not even in the 1980
election involving Ronald Reagan and Ji...

circumstance across the country may not affect you
personally, but it can affect your thoughts or
views on a particular subject. No year is
flawless, happy times and tragedies create a
roller coaster in which the world has no choice
but to ride out the twists and turns. But 1991
seemed to be a "plague" year, where the bad seemed
to far outweigh the good in every possible way.

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7
th, 1941, the United States immediately shifted
into a country which had the task of producing war

effort; the men went to fight, the women ran the
plants, and kids set up their scrap yards. The

Stock Market Crash Laissez Faire
1,757 words
To my amazement the Great Depression serves as a
natural debating point that justifies or refutes
various economic policies. The Great Depression
and the New Deal are complex topics that are open
to many interpretations. The Great Depression was
the worst economic slump ever in U. S. history,
and one which spread to virtually all of the
industrialized world. Seeing the order in which
events actually occurred dispels many myths about
the Great Depression. One of the greatest of these
myths is tha...

Tom And Daisy Full Of Money

Fitzgeralds dominant theme in The Great Gatsby
focuses on the corruption of the American Dream.
By analyzing high society during the 1920 s
through the eyes of narrator Nick Carraway, the
author reveals that the American Dream has
transformed from a pure ideal of security into a
convoluted scheme of materialistic power. In

American Dream in his tragic story to illustrate
that a once impervious d...

Pro Gun Control National Rifle Association
2,658 words
Gun Control In general, the United States
represents a very sharp end of the spectrum as far
as gun control policies are concerned. The United
States has the loosest control of private handgun
ownership compared to Britain who has one of the
strictest. Comparing the position of pro-gun
factions in the US, such as the National Rifle
Association (NRA), with the position of anti-gun
movement, is enlightening because the pro-gun
control proponents in the US only fight for
individuals to acknowledge ...

Congress Passed President Roosevelt

In the early 1930 s, America was troubled by the
rise of dictatorships in Italy and Germany, and a
militaristic government in Japan, but felt unable,
and unwilling, to do anything about these
developments. The inability of the League Of
Nations to halt aggressor nations further
strengthened American isolationists. As a result,
isolationist congressmen succeeded in passing
neutrality acts intended to keep the United States
out of another war. President Roosevelt invoked
the Neutrality Acts agains...

the same forces are engaged in another war,
against a much less resilient enemy, the American
people. Here, the prospects for sucess are much
