far more to McCarthyism than McCarthy' McCarthy

external factors t...

Hitler Came To Power Anti Semitism
1,484 words
Anti-Semitism was widespread in Europe at the time
Hitler came to power. Much of this anti-Semitism
was rooted, first, in religious beliefs that arose
more than 1500 years before Hitler came to power,
and second, on political beliefs, often cynically
exploited for political gain. Though it was not
accepted by everyone, this existing anti-Semitism
was common and provided a receptive audience for
Hitler's anti-Semitic claims. Hitler did not just
exploit the existing anti-Semitism in Germany; he

militancy of the black power era. However, his
intellectual legacy did not bridge the divide
between black leaders and mobilized black masses.

militancy, Malcolm himself did not lead a protest

contribution to the black nationalist tradition

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Opera Seria

A remarkable musician and composer, whose legend
continues to grow more than two centuries after
his death, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in

Voter Turnout Proportional Representation
449 words
From my limited studies of comparative government
I have come to the conclusion that a plurality
type of electoral process where winner takes all
is a superior compared to proportional
representation for several key reasons.
Proportional representation is based on having an
election based on census instead of consensus. In
other words, ask the masses which party they feel
will do the best job on a ticket where there may
be several political parties running which intern
will select its own leader...

Industrial Revolution Public Opinion

Walter Lippmann begins his The Public Philosophy
by expressing his concern for the state of the
Western Liberal Democracies. The West, he writes,
suffers from 'a disorder from within. ' This
disorder has its roots in the long peace between
1812 and 1914, and was further exacerbated by the
great population increase of that era and the
coinciding industrial revolution. The latter
changed the nature of armed struggle, which in
turn intensified the 'democratic malady. ' The
situation Lippmann descri...

According to Max Weber, religion emerges to
satisfy a social need. "In treating suffering as a
symptom of odiousness in the eyes of gods and as a
sign of secret guilt, religion has psychologically
met a very general need (Weber 271).
Rastafarianism emerges in the slums of Kingston,
Jamaica in the 1930 's to meet the needs of the
poor, unskilled black Jamaicans who needed a hope.

there was much controversy about why he was left
free so quickly and did not serve his full
sentence. People were outraged that a cold-blooded

Child Labour Pre Industrial

There was once a time when children born into this
world were given the same name in hopes that at
least one child would survive to pass the honor of
that name down through the bloodlines. While the
birth of this newborn child would mean that the
limited supply of foodstuffs a family possessed
would have to be rationed more carefully, this
child was as an investment in their own futures.

she could start becoming an active component of
