.... would end the war quickly, save lives, and place the United States in a position to revolutionize Japanese life. Two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, coupled with Russia's declaration of war against Japan, brought the war to an end on August 14, 1945. Some persons have argued that Truman used the bomb to influence the Russians rather than the Japanese, but they have demonstrated only that he and some of his aides hoped that this new evidence of American power would restrain the Russians at the same time that it accomplished American objectives in Japan. By August 1945, Truman had become more critical of the Russians th .....

.... that his beloved Bill was not being enforced Jackson began dealing with the Indian tribes and offering them "untouchable" tracts of lands west of the Mississippi River if they would only cede their lands to the US and move themselves there. Jackson was a large fan of states rights-ism, hence he vetoed the charter for the Bank of the United States, and when faced with two issues concerning states rights (one with South Carolina regarding succession, one with Georgia regarding the Indians) he went with the suppression of South Carolina and gave Georgia all out support. When faced with the decision of Union or Indi .....

.... to go and destroy Jerusalem, my feelings of fear and doubt would uncontrollably well up inside me. We are, after all, only human, and fear is a common feeling, despite where we stand with God. No man lives without fear, but though fear our faith is tested and strengthened. Upon hearing and experiencing the truth of Isaiah’s claim that God will spare Jerusalem and force the Assyrians back home, my faith in God would be fortified. In the times of fear, I would have realized how weak, how immature, and how far I must go in my faith and trust in God. But once I heard Isaiah’s prophecy, I would use it as a way to d .....

.... views on things that ranged from the structure of the government to his economic process. It basically draws the reader in and enthralls him/her into a admiration for this man. This man, for the historians who wrote the textbook, was to be looked at as one of the founding fathers of the country for the great things that he accomplished, not for his unbridled hatred and cruelty to the African American race. The thing that the textbook so eloquently leaves out, though, is Jefferson’s views upon slavery. Jefferson did not only own slaves, but had relations with them. He stated that all men were created equal, but in some way .....

.... girl playing alone outside her house, he has a chance to turn her into a victim. But, remarkably, he does her no harm. Not the typical heroic act, yet it still applies. Similar to the theme of heroism, is the purpose of Con Air. The purpose of this movie is to inspire people to do the right thing even when stuck in the worst environment. And what could be worse than Poe’s environment. As he describes it, “They somehow managed to get every creep and freak in the universe on this one plane, and then somehow managed to let them take it over and somehow managed to stick us right smack in the middle.” Yet he still manag .....

.... the years between 0 to 900. Pack-Che had a predominant culture and art. At one time, Pack-Che controlled some part of west sea of China and Ku-Shu area in Japan, but it was destroyed by China after 700 years they settled in Han river area but they tried reconstruction work. At that time some of Kings of Pack-Che moved to Ku-Shu area in Japan. And they imparted their own cultures and art to Japan. Shilla became centralized after 1000 years of history with Ko-Gu-Ryo and Pack-Che. And the other side, Shilla tried to combine with others outside of their country. The Shilla combined with China and successfully made a united country ca .....

.... ment differ from the end towards which the action is oriented. The situation is composed of two elements; the conditions are that which the actor cannot manipulate in accordance with his end, and the means are that over which he does not have control. Finally there is a relation between these elements; where a situation allows alterna- tive means to the end, the course is selected from the normative orientation of the actor. (Parsons, 1968: 44) In order to account for the interrelationships in the historical event and to anticipate a successful change of the capitalist structure, I will use the voluntarist theory of acti .....

.... Many younger sons of aristocrats went in search of land because their older brother had inherited the family’s land. An additional reason for men and women to go fight may have been pride. “Keeping up with the Jones’s” is not a new concept. Many people may have felt pressured to join the crusades along with their neighbors and after committing to go one could not turn back with the penalty of excommunication. The crusades also created business for maritime cities. This may not have been an incentive for the church to begin the crusades, but it may have encouraged the continuance of them. All of the .....

.... for drinking is twenty. Taboos: Wearing any type of shoes while walking into someone’s home is considered a sin in Japan. It is even restricted in the case of some business establishments, and other places. The rule of conduct in these cases is that you must leave your footwear at the door, and put on the slippers supplied just inside the doorway. The types of slippers often change from one season to the next. In the summer the slippers might be made of loose thin material, while in the winter wooly ones are supplied. There are also different slippers you must change into while entering the bathroom or kitchen. Thi .....

.... latest rival. Five police officers walked into the garage, lined up Moran’s men, and shot them down. While these men appeared to be police officers, all five were really some of Capone’s hitmen. Capone was able time and time again to avoid criminal charges, and became a true racketeer, an art of its own. Ironically, the government finally was able to put Scarface behind bars on charges of federal income tax evasion. He was sentenced to eleven years in prison. Eleven years that couldn’t even be saved by the four million-dollar bribe offered by Capone’s attorneys. In 1934 Capone was transf .....
