Standard Oil Company Robber Baron
1,127 words
John Davison Rockefeller has been accused by many
as being a Robber Baron over the past century. He
created the most powerful corporation the United
States had ever seen: The Standard Oil Company. He
began Standard Oil in 1865 and by 1881, it was
comprised of more than forty other companies. In
1882 Rockefeller created the Standard Oil Trusts,
and his company had become the most efficient
corporation, producing the highest quality
products as well as charging the lowest prices.
Unlike Jay Gould,...

... ain fully slow, and the treaty had to be
ratified by a specified date. Napoleon, who was
thought by some to have already repented this
transaction, could not have been expected to
tolerate any departure from its terms. Recognizing
that this was no time for constitutional purism,
the president yielded to his friends, while strict
constructionist arguments were taken up
ineffectually by the New England Federalists.
Nearly everybody else enthusiastically approved of
the acquisition. In May 1801...

Late 1800 Early 1900
1,436 words
When asked to discuss the origins of the first
world war, there is generally little debate. Most
would site the growth of Germany as an economic,
military and naval power, and the rise in
nationalism and an arms race throughout Europe.
All of which was characterized by the growing
occurrence of political disruptions, culminated by
the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand in
Serbia. This is, of course true, but many
historians tend to neglect the effect of
demographic change on a society. During ...

... persuasion - say, convincing Germany solely
with rhetoric that America would support a united
Germany (which, indeed, they did try to do) - it
is arguable whether that would have worked in
deterring the popular Soviet-influenced communist
parties. Clearly, the Truman administration had to
pursue a strategy of military containment.
However, internal politics dictated quite the
opposite strategy. The republican leadership in
both the Senate and the House was committed to

not a possibility. The development of the Cold War
conditions in Asia and the outbreak of the Korean
war lead to the USA reassessing the role of Japan
in the post-war world. Japan was to be built up as
an effective counter-balance to the spread of

Gap Between Rich Rich And Poor
1,009 words
A successful economy is perhaps the most key
ingredient leading to a successful nation. An
economy is a delicate balance of many different
conflicting and coexisting elements. Naturally, an
economy's success can often be measured by the
amount of wealth is contains, not to mention the
effectiveness or ineffectiveness of its
distribution of the wealth. Effective distribution
of wealth is no easy feat. Wealthy and poor people
will always need to coexist- this is an
inescapable truth. The governmen...

Paper # 3 The Conflict of Women in 20 th Century
India Throughout recorded history, women the world
over have been held to different standards than
men. They have been consistently oppressed in
nearly all aspects of life, from political to
personal, public to private. In the 20 th century,
great strides have been taken to end this
oppression and level the playing field. In India
however, a number of deeply rooted traditions have
made this effort p...

Middle Colonies Southern Colonies

The religious motive is often emphasized as the
predominant one in the migration of the early
English colonizers to the New England, but
economic motives were undoubtedly the most
effective in promoting colonization. Economic
considerations were greatly emphasized in the
early settlements of the Southern Colonies. As for
religious considerations were mainly found in the
colonization of the New England Colonies. The
Middle Colonies on the other hand were considered
to be mainly established for re...

Policy Of Containment Economic And Social
1,489 words
As promulgated in 1947 by one of its chief
architects, George Kennan, the policy of
containment fashioned a strategy to deal with the
implacable challenge posed by Soviet Communists
(Kennan, 582). Because of their ideology and
history, the Soviets were held to be dangerous and
thus their expansion must be countered by the
West. To deal with the Soviet threat, Kennan
called for a long-term and vigilant containment of
Russian expansive tendencies (Kennan, 575).
Although containment policy was wide...

In the Discourse on Metaphysics by Leibniz he
suggest that, we maintain that everything that is
to happen to some person is already contained
virtually in his nature or notion, as properties
of a circle are contained in its definition. This
assertion raised a difficulty for Leibniz. This
difficulty was that human freedom will no longer
hold, and that an absolute fatality would rule
over all our actions as well as over all the rest
of what happens in the world. With such a reality
there would be ...

Roman Catholic Church Act Four Scene
4,935 words
The Elizabethan Age underwent a continuing crisis
of religion that was marked by a deepening
polarization of thought between the supporters of
the recently established Protestant Church and the
larger number of adherents to the Roman Catholic
faith. Of these latter, Edmund Campion may be
taken as the archetype. Well known as an
Englishman who fled to the Continent for
consciences sake, he returned to England as a
Jesuit priest, was executed by the English
government in 1581 and was canonized by ...

Capital Punishment Death Penalty
1,308 words
The last public execution in England took place in
1868. The transition of penal practices from
torturous public executions to less barbaric and
somewhat more humane practices aroused many
suspicions in historians. For a better
understanding of such changes, one must focus on
the ways historians have accounted for this
fundamental change. Randall Mc Gowen in his
account focuses on the fact that society is
becoming more civilized and illustrates the need
for more civilized penal practices. Histor...

Morals And Values Catholic Church

Who is George Fox? Looking into the eyes of the
congregation he could see open hearts and minds as
he spoke of the Christ he had so long lived for.
There was no greater passion for George Fox than
to seek to follow the will of God by seeking to be
pure of all that was not of the Heavenly Father.
It had been sixty-eight years since the birth of
the man who would later be known as the founder of
the Quaker movement. To be exact, George Fox
entered this world in July of 1624 in the town of

Many attempts have been made around the world at
reforming current legal systems in search of a
better one. As the amount of crime rises
worldwide, people are constantly on the lookout

it. Three such attempts involving attempts to

ideologies are found before WWI. Many pre-war
conditions (but especially the gradual collapse of

20 Th Century Duke Ellington

In this research paper I will explore the origins
and attempt to construct a loose temporal graph of
the musical phenomenon known commonly as swing
jazz. From its roots and derivative styles, I hope
to prove that the assimilation of the black or
Afro-American jazz music into the mainstream white
culture of the early 20 th century was the cause
of the sharp rise in the popularity of swing jazz.
This boom of good will towards what could have
only been known as black or Negro music was in
itself a ...
