Article Comparison #1: Koehn & Warren
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The beginning of the twentieth century was rife with improvements to everyday commodities that up until this time were not considered in need of enhancement; however, Koehn (1999) and Warren (1999) point out how industrialism forced a second look at such products as paint and groceries, and ultimately transformed each industry into one that afforded Americans the convenience factor of less work and more free time.

Article Comparison #2: Kerwin & Cameron
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Civilized societies are rarely without a cause of the moment whereby certain populations either need to be eradicated completely or oppressed to the point of no longer being a threat to the sanctity of the parent society. However, it is this alarmist approach that oftentimes borders on the fringe of hysteria that causes one to question just how civilized people are who can so easily condemn with faulty reasoning. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Article Comparison #3: Kerwin, Culhane Speck & Kelm
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Culhane Speck (1987) and Kelm (1999) both discuss how the natural selection afforded by widespread disease helped to aid European settlement by helping the white colonists eradicate what they viewed as an impediment to their progression as a race. The omnipotent superiority exuded by the white race, as each writer's passages clearly illustrates, set in motion a chain of events that even if the colonists knew in advance would occur, no preventive measures would have been taken. In effect, the diseases responsible for killing off indigenous peoples proved to be the final straw for these culturally compromised populations who were underfed, overworked and victimized by various abuses.

Barbara Tuchman: The March of Folly (1984)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) 'Don't confuse me with facts!' is a cry
heard throughout the world when it comes to
governmental decisions. Barbara
Tuchman, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, and one
of the best American historians, wrote in her book
The March of Folly (1984) that 'a phenomenon
noticeable throughout history regardless of place
or period is the pursuit by governments of policies
contrary to their own interests' . According to
her, 'self-interest is whatever conduces to the
welfare or advantage of the body being governed;
folly is a policy that in these terms is
counter-productive'. Tuchman considered folly to
be the most dangerous act of mis-government and
saw it as a 'self-destructive act carried out
despite the availability of a recognized and
feasible alternative'.

Boston + Brahmin = White Anglo Saxon Protestant
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The term "Boston Brahmin" is associated
with -- among other things -- the American premiere
of Brahms' Second Symphony. It was performed by
the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the historic
Orpheum Theatre built in 1852, on Hamilton Place
off Tremont Street. Many in the audience walked
out, and music reviewers called those who stayed
"Brahmins." Oliver Wendell Holmes called Boston
"The Hub of the Universe." Some of the so-called
"Boston Brahmins" referred to the city as
"The Athens of America." Those are some notes of
the past concerning the Brahmins, but where are
they now?
