Historical Materialism
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Throughout history, mankind has attempted to separate itself from the rest of the natural world by devoting time and energy to the pursuit of individualism. This perpetual quest, as chronicled throughout the ages, has caused humanity to turn into a myopic entity whose complete and utter focus is upon the self as opposed to society – and the entire natural world – as a whole. Historians and great thinkers as Marx and Engels have taken ample opportunity to point out the discrepancies of such destructive actions, noting that the primary downfall of human civilization will undoubtedly be the ceaseless aim toward materialism.

History of Detroit, Michigan
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the history of Detroit, Michigan, one of the United States’ oldest and largest cities. It is the seventh largest city in the United States and at the core of a large metropolitan area. It is also one of the oldest cities in the country, founded in 1701. By the second half of the 19th century, Detroit was well established and prospering. As railroads were constructed in the 1840s, and especially with the completion of a link to Chicago in 1852, Detroit became a primary transfer and processing point for products from the interior of the country. Its great diversity of manufacturing concerns included iron and steel foundries, leather tanneries, chemical plants, engines builders, and shipmakers. Such industries, and the ready availability of both labor and capital, provided the foundation for the establishment of the industry base that shaped the future of the city -- the automobile industry.
