He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom. The pursuit to own land and accumulate wealth, and not be under the rule of the crown was first and foremost in the early colonists minds. Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America.
Racial Ideology, American Politics, and the Peculiar Role of the Social Sciences”; where he explains his research on the intersection of poverty, crime and race. Bobo contends the United States is faced with a sophisticated, elusive and enduring race problem. His use of two separate focus groups one being all white and the other being all black uncovered evidence to support just how complex the race problem in America is. Bobo contends the just saying that the race problem still endures is not to say that it remains fundamentally the same and essentially the same. Bobo asks how we can have milestone decisions like Brown V. Board, pass a civil rights act, a voting act, fair housing acts, and numerous acts of enforcement and amendments, including the pursuit of affirmative action policies and still continue to face a significant racial divide in America.
Killing more than 250 000 people and leaving over one million wounded. After the war, von Falkenhayn claimed that his intention at Verdun was not to win but rather to "bleed the French white" by forcing them to make a stand at a place from which they could not move. The Battle of Verdun is said to be a symbol of the nation's determination to defend its soil at all
Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby, helps reinforce his message of how an American Dream can be corrupted if the society built on it is corrupted by materialistic views. Fitzgerald thoroughly provides insight on his message through the use of universal symbolism and effective imagery. With the use of symbols such as the green light and automobiles, Fitzgerald was able to build his perspective on the American Dream and how it can be achievable only if it is limited to the extent of attempting to achieve moral perfection. Daisy is illustrated to act as a social status symbol for Tom and this helped emphasize Fitzgerald’s message of the how corrupt money and materialism can make the American Dream. These implications outlined by Fitzgerald suggest the truth behind what individuals believe and how pursing the American Dream only for wonder is overseen with

Chayse Sundt ENGL 1302-02 L. Morales 26 March 2012 Annotated Bibliography on Genocide around the World Thesis Statement: Jews were desecrated, abused, and stripped of their dignity due to intolerance, ignorance, indifference, and silence. Today, we as a human race have looked upon these atrocities with shame in our hearts, yet we continue the genocide, prejudice, discrimination, and violence.

The first panel illustrates dead humans and animals with a raging fire in the background. The mural depicts “all the races of the world, perhaps those who have lived the horrific bloodshed depicted in the first two panels worshipping what looks like a Hindu god of some kind. Everything is very New Age and multicultural, like a New World Order where one is all and all are one.” The New World Order seeks to reduce the population to about two billion by using global genocide (“The Denver”). Their “goal is to create a one world (fascist) government, stripped of nationalistic and regional boundaries, that is obedient to their agenda” (Adachi). In Peace and Harmony with Nature
Christopher Ware Professor Julie Lane English Composition 102 27 March 2012 “Continuing the Dream ” If America is to support the ideals for which Martin Luther King Jr. fought, it must do more than pay lip service to civil rights rulings; it must enforce them. With the history of the black troubles in mind, King leads us into his empowering purpose for presenting this argument. He brings the Constitution and backbone of our nation into play and tells that his people are come to “cash a check.” The check is written for the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that all men are entitled to under our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Yet he tells that instead of being granted their rightful earnings as American citizens, the Negro people are given back a check marked insufficient. King tells that his purpose is to bring to pass the time where his people will be able to cash this check, and that time for them is now!
Nick was portraying Gatsby like Christ figure who possesses similarities and oppositions to Jesus. In Luke 2:49 it is recounted that Jesus said, "Know you not that I must be about my Father's business?" The business referred to acts as symbol of the revitalization of mankind. This also ties in with his use of descriptive diction when he refers to the American Dream as a “vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty”. The America Dream is founded on the idea that achievement and fortune are the compensation for working hard and looking always looking to better oneself.
