A Different View of US History
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page summary and analyzes of a history text by Dinnerstein, Nichols, and Reimers, Natives and Strangers (1979) which is probably one of the first efforts at inclusion and acknowledgment of diversity in regards to US history. The writer argues that to a large degree, the authors achieved their goal, as this text offers a survey of American history that stresses the contributions of minorities and also the perspective of minorities toward the events that led to the founding of the United States.

America In The 1840's: Transition To A Strongly Pro-Democratic And Pro-Party Regime
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The United States began as a nation without parties and with a limited dedication to democratic ideals. Examining why by the 1840s America developed into a strongly pro-democratic and pro-party regime finds one focusing upon personal agenda and the pangs of national growth as viable explanations of such a drastic transition. The extent to which this modification fit in with original Constitutional designs was questionable at best, particularly with regard to that which espoused consensual rather than majoritarian arrangements.

America: Shaped by Pre-history
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the ways in which the first to arrive in America between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago have served to shape today’s American civilization and national culture. The paper discusses the resolve that they certainly must have had in leaving everything known for everything unknown, then using in the new places only those things available to them in the new environment. Asian cultures are enigmatic in their reverence for their ancestors, and it remains a fact that Westerners often dismiss. Ancestry does direct the paths of the future, however. Our pre-history, Renaissance and colonial ancestry well serves the world’s only “mongrel” country, one made up of many ancestral strains, all of which have proven to represent magnificent stock. The paper also includes a discussion of American reaction to Pearl Harbor and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

American Dream in L.A.
[ send me this paper ]
In the fifties, the 'age of suburbia', the American dream was epitomized by the ability to own a home, live in safety and in a community of like minded souls. The great exodus from the cities to the suburbs defined the American idea of 'the good life'. This 5 page paper suggests that while the belief in the American Dream is closely aligned to the growth and popularity of suburbs, Los Angeles is a perfect example of how suburbs were the precursor to a geographical division based on race and class.
