Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of American history. Specifically, it discusses the political party rivalries in Augusta County, Virginia, in the 1860s, prior to the Civil War. The paper then looks at how politicians used their differences to intensify sectional conflict and opposition between the parties.
From the Paper
"Of course, slavery was at the very heart of the secessionist movement, although many Southerners attempted to deny this fact. John D. Imboden was bold enough to acknowledge the importance of slavery, and how Unionists simply could not understand it, in a letter he wrote to a friend in 1860. He writes, "You can't make the great mass of the people-- especially the non slaveholder's understand the political philosophy of our government, and the nice principles on which the Secessionists are now attempting to act." Surprisingly, however, many documents do not mentions slaves at all, or mention them in passing, noting buying, selling, etc. There is little mention in many printed documents of slavery at all, and while politicians did use the issue (especially in the North for the Republican platform), in the South, there was much less evidence in print."

Abstract
Throughout the book of Genesis, each generation features brothers or sisters who competed, often bitterly and often for their parent's attention. This paper shows that the sibling rivalries between Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1-26), Esau and Jacob, Ishmael and Isaac, and Joseph and his brothers were similar in some ways and different in others. The conflicts and actions between all the siblings can all be tied together by responsibly dealing with conflict and resolution. The paper shows that the Book of Genesis poses the well-known question, "Am I my brothers keeper?," which gets answered by the end of the book. In addition, the actions of the parents may have had an impact on the actions of their children.
From the Paper
"The portion that illustrates Jacob's moral maturation is by the tale of Jacob's struggle with a godly being the night before he was to meet his estranged brother (Genesis 32:23-32). Jacob wrestled with the god sent figure and left the attack morally enhanced but physically injured. He then received a new name, "Israel," which is interpreted to mean, "the one who strives with beings divine and human and prevails". Therefore, when he finally meets Esau, he is no longer the proud youngster who is out to take advantage of his brother, but a mature man, bearing the scars of life and offering gifts to his brother."

Abstract
This paper discusses the rivalry between and stiff competition between the baseball teams from Boston and New York City, the Red Sox and the Yankees. It examines the root causes of this rivalry which dates back to 1920 when Harry Frazee, the ?unlucky? owner of Red Sox, sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $100,000 and never won a World Series again. This is now known as the Curse of the Bambino which has badly affected the Red Sox performance and fans are keenly awaiting a strong comeback 84 years after the team won its last major championship. It evaluates the games and decisions over the years since 1920, which have served as catalysts for this enduring rivalry and how Red Sox needs to get over this curse jinx if they truly want to beat Yankees and reduce the impact of this long and fierce rivalry.
From the Paper
"Since that fateful Bambino trade, New York Yankees has maintained its domination in the field of baseball. Not only do they play skillfully, they also have the right attitude towards the game. Apart from that they have the psychological edge over Red Sox that is backed by a wonderful record. A rivalry, which was initiated by Babe Ruth, was gave a enduring touch by other great players including Bucky Dent whose home run hit in 1978 occupies a major place in the successful history of Yankees."

Abstract
The paper examines several studies on sibling rivalry and focuses on the findings of a research questionnaire. The paper explains how this research indicates that children whose parents emphasize the development of social cognitive skills, such as empathy, responsibility and caring, are more likely to produce children disinclined to fight with their siblings. The paper shows how parental guidance is vital in order to ensure sibling rivalries do not grow into something dark and pathological.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Many studies have emerged in recent years that shed welcome light upon the dynamics of sibling relationships. To begin with, there has been a strong body of research indicating that advanced social cognition skills able to appreciate the reasons for the other party's incompetencies and/or peculiarities are critical if siblings are to form strong relationships between one another (Hudson, Forman & Brion-Meisels, 1982; Castle & Richards, 1979). Unfortunately, children take time to develop empathetic social cognition skills (Shantz, 1983) and it is not inconceivable that permanent injury in the relationship between two siblings can be created if too much hostility and resentment is produced in the formative years of life."

Abstract
This paper analyzes sibling rivalry relationships from two perspectives of analysis ? structuralism and by emphasizing the importance of the concept of sacrifice, drawing on the relationships of Jacob and Esau, Cain and Abel and Leah and Rachael, taken from the "Book of Genesis".
From the paper:
"One of the predominant themes in the Book of Genesis is that of sibling rivalry: We see in the pairs of Jacob and Esau, Cain and Abel and Leah and Rachel a series of oppositions presented to us in the form of these sibling relationships. This paper analyzes those relationships from two different perspectives. The first of these is the Structuralist one, which allows us to see these sibling relationships within the broader context of sacred and folk writings in a number of cultures and the second is within the framework of sacrifice as the ancient Jews understood this concept."

Composer Rivalry, 2005.
This paper examines the conflict and rivalry between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri in the Classical Period.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that the mysterious rivalry between Salieri and Mozart cannot be fully explained. The paper discusses how this is due to the highly speculative accounts of poisoning, political betrayal and musical intrigue that was between the two men. The paper maintains that the facts surrounding the characterization of Salieri as Papageno, have to be, by far, the most interesting of the musical aspects of these composers. The paper shows how the transcendence of competition was most likely apparent through the letters of Salieri, which suggest a somewhat jealous fascination with Mozart.
From the Paper
"This musical study will analyze the premise of the musical and political rivalry between the two Classical composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. In this respect, the competition between both of these men was reflected in how they created music and how they clashed on issues of popularity in the musical environment of this period. By analyzing these facets of the two composers, one can realize the intense rivalry that existed in relation to Mozart's genius and the political and cultural power that Salieri wielded in this manner. In Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute" (1791) it is known that the competitive and arrogant nature of Salieri was not well liked by Mozart in the musical environment of this part of the Classical Period."

From the Paper
"The book, Siblings Without Rivalry, by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazelish offers an abundance of useful and applicable methods for dealing with the common problems that arise in the parenting of siblings. I found the book to be humorous, eye opening and helpful. As a younger sister who was constantly battling my older sibling, I was able to relate to many of the typical childhood scenarios that were dealt with. For each of these scenarios the authors first describe the source of conflict and explain why the most typical parental response is often times not the most effective. They then offer alternative ways to respond to the conflict showing why the alternatives work better. Each of these ?lessons? is illustrated with a simple ?Do this, not this? cartoon. The explanations are easy to understand and are thoroughly convincing. This book is a valuable resource for parents and future parents, and it may even serve to help grown siblings work through resentful feelings left over from childhood. The cartoons illustrating the text are a nice touch, keeping the text light and entertaining to read."

From the Paper
"For Wildavsky, the key to presidential power in foreign policy does not lie in constitutional foundations, but in changes that had taken place in the world since 1945. He cites the growth in the number of Third World nations, the existence of nuclear weapons and the threat of holocaust, and the cold war as reasons why foreign policy tends to drive out domestic concerns. Reasons for this are the speed of international events and their irreversibility. The presidential advantage in foreign affairs is derived from institutional and informational advantages, as the president has greater access to information that other actors and has greater control of expertise, as well as at times widespread public consensus on foreign policy that reflected the Cold War threat. The interconnectedness of foreign policy necessitates that presidents actively engage in all facets of international affairs. Unlike domestic policy, a single foreign policy failure could lead to an array of catastrophic disasters. Wildavsky also suggests that policy preferences are more varied in the domestic arena and therefore more likely to lead to conflict. Moreover, he argues that presidents are successful due to the weakness of other rivals. Rivals for power in foreign affairs not only have fewer resources at their disposal but are "weak, divided, or believe that they should not control foreign policy." The list of potential rivals he includes are: the public, special interest groups, the military, the military-industrial complex, the State Department, and of special interest here, Congress."

Abstract
This paper is about the life and times of Baron Haussmann, who was appointed Prefect of the Seine in the 19th century. It discusses how far his policies were able to influence and generate new spaces of consumption. Furthermore, it focuses on the newly created set of social and cultural consumer behaviours and practices, and explains how these substantially changed the late nineteenth and early twentieth century city life. The author has included some illustrations and a map for reference.
From the Paper
"The second half of the nineteenth century saw an era of rapid change throughout Europe. Urbanization and civilization mark this epoche and indicate that the city rapidly gained a modern status of prestige that until then was predominantely occupied by the larger residencies situated outside the city. The city, usually avoided by the nobility as a place to live, experienced a remarkable metamorphosis in reputation during the course of the nineteenth century. A particular role model for this was Paris, which had always been a precursor of culture, haute couture and style, even as early as late nineteenth century. However, when Baron Haussmann was appointed Prefect of the Seine in 1853 and instigated a transformation plan for the city, a process of change was about to emerge, which entailed a chain reaction of political, economical and spacial changes."

Abstract
This paper looks at the similarities between the Strindberg stories "The Legend of Salome" and "Miss Julie". The author uses extensive quotes from both in an attempt to show the common threads. The author further quotes critics that have also compared and contrasted these two stories.
From the Paper
"When there is an unequal balance of power in a relationship, there is bound to be conflict and attempts to either sustain or reverse the roles of power. This kind of imbalance can be analyzed in terms of the relationships of the major players in Strindberg?s play Miss Julie, and The Legend of Salome. Although Miss Julie is often analyzed in terms of the Bible, including images of the fall, the crucifixion of Christ, and scriptural analysis of exactly who goes to heaven, the most striking similarity between the play and the Bible is the legend of Salome."

"U.S. Response to Chinese Rivalry in Asia-Pacific Region
Background
With the end of the Cold War, the United States lost its primary rival for influence in the world: the Soviet Union. Moreover, the importance of Europe to the United States declined in importance in relation to that of the Asia-Pacific Region. U.S. trade with Asian nations now exceeds that with European nations and this disparity will continue to grow. Japan now has the second largest economy in the world (after that of the United States) and China's economy is projected to be the third largest within twenty years. This means that the country exercising the most influence in this region will probably also be the most influential nation in the world.
Without a doubt, China represents the greatest contender for the ..."
