.... émigrés, who hovered close to the Nazi party during its early Munich Days, espoused beliefs that were additional fuel for the Nazi party's own anti-Semitism. Henry Ford's book 'The International Jew' also had a great influence on the members of the Nazi party. Baldur Von Shirach, a former Nazi youth leader, told a psychologist, "You have no idea what a great influence this book had on the thinking of the German youth…I read Henry Ford's book 'The International Jewry'…and became anti-Semitic." (Pinson, K 1966:487). It is not that anti-Semitism did not exist within Germany. 'Der nationale Sozialismus' (1st ed., Munich, .....

.... prowess was exactly that, the ability to lead. He was a man of sound and progressive reform, but he had the ability, charisma, and forcefulness to enable his legislation. Though he sometimes superceded the powers granted him in the constitution, he was a forward man, always leading the way. Following up the presidency of Roosevelt was William Howard Taft, the hand chosen successor of Roosevelt. Taft was a close ally of Roosevelt, and both maintained a conviction to reform of similar issues, but we say in Taft, a more timid and conservative man than Roosevelt. Where Roosevelt had been at the least forceful, Taft may have been firm, .....

.... the Moche period. Pots were molded into lifelike representations of people, crops, domestic or wild animals, marine life and houses. Other pots like "Vessel" were painted with scenes of both ceremonial and everyday life. From these pots, archaeologists know that Moche society was very class conscious. This particular ceramic is decorated in reddish brown over a white background with a Moche priest performing a ritual beneath a starry sky. Such a ceramic would have been actually used in a religious ceremony to store various sacred liquids needed for the completion of such an act. The most important people, the priests and warriors, were m .....

.... in 1591. Anne's father was a deacon at Christ Church, Cambridge. Francis Marbury spoke out earnestly about his convictions that many of the ordained ministers in the Church of England were unfit to guide people's souls. For this act of defiance, he was put in jail for one year. Undaunted, Francis Marbury continued to voice his radical opinions, including that many ministers were appointed haphazardly by high church officials to preach in any manner they wanted. Eventually, Anne's father did restrain his verbal attacks on the Church of England, choosing conformity with an imperfect church over constant arrests and inquisitions. (D. Crawford, .....

.... people to purchase their products rather than ones from other countries. Great Britain thought that if they could the costs of productions were reduced then more people would be willing to buy more and subsequently restart the markets purchasing cycle. Prime Minister Macdonald stated this in his speech on February 12, 1931, "To combat hard times, British leaders were forced to keep wages down (this made exports cheaper but precipitated the General strike of 1926) and to raise interest rates (this restored value to the British pound, but choked off borrowing)." MacDonald suggested public works for temporary relief for unemployment. This was j .....

.... the "doctrine of divine light" to such aspects of Puritanism and its concept of nature as a living mystery and not a clockwork universe which is fixed and permanent to the Romanticism age (Reuben 2).

Among the chief proponents of , Ralph Waldo Emerson is widely regarded as its central figure and catalyzing force. Critics often cite his essay Nature and An Address Delivered Before the Senior Class in Divinity College as touchstones of the movement. His subsequent essays .....

.... ghost of Christmas yet to come. In reaction to Owen's portrayal of this character, the audience's faces which were "so amused, so curious, so various-were rendered shockingly similar; each face became the model of each other's fear" (Irving 242). Owen had dehumanized this character to the point that children were leaving the theater crying and some were even wetting their pants. One reference which could be made concerning Owen and Scrooge was that "GOD HAS ALLOWED [them] TO KNOW MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE KNOW-…" (Irving 366). Both of them were told their futures, however Scrooge made an effort to change his, where as Owen did not. Owen .....

.... Unfortunately, each side had a different perspective on how to approach it. Slavery was a major issue, the North against, the South pro. The disagreement on slavery lead to difficulty in the issue of Westward expansion. Both agreed to it, but whether to admit them as free or slave states was where the split occurred. The compromise of 1850 stated that California enters free, and New Mexico and Utah decided on their own which is giving them more state rights in which the South heavily supported. This compromise did not satisfy each side fully. The issue of State rights intensified by the issue of slavery because the Southern states felt .....
