Abstract
This paper offers a review of the though provoking novel "Montana 1948" by Larry Watson. The writer shows how racism, as seen in the novel, can result in tragedy. The book is the retrospective tale of a childhood event told by the protagonist David Hayden forty years later. The story evolves around the alleged professionally unacceptable behavior of a physician towards his Indian patients.
From the Paper
"Among David?s primary recollections concerning the events of 1948 is the realization that Marie Little Soldier?s bedroom was ?a small room off the kitchen,? despite the fact that there was a ?third bedroom? vacant on the second floor ? the floor where the white people slept. ?Who decided that room should not be Marie?s?? Despite the Hayden?s tolerant and benevolent appearance, and their adequate treatment of Marie, they obviously are subtly influenced by the prejudice based on the belief in the superiority of a particular race. Wesley ?was not a hate filled bigot ? he probably thought he was free of prejudice.? Wes was able to ?treat Indians with generosity, kindness, and respect? nevertheless he believed Indians? were ignorant, lazy, superstitious and irresponsible."

From the Paper
"Right after the Pearl Harbor attack, FDR assured British Prime Minister Winston Churchill that the United States gave first priority to defeating Germany (Powaski 50). By vetoing British plans for invasion through the Balkans, in favor of a cross-channel attack which could not be mounted until 1944, FDR effectively ensured, said Solsten, that the Red Army would occupy East Germany (76). At the same time, FDR was unwilling to discuss post-war plans until 1943 in part because of the traditional American aversion to spheres of influence and his belief that the Four Policemen (America, Britain, Russia and possibly China) could maintain world order under a system of collective security within the framework of a United Nations, a carryover of Wilsonian idealism. FDR placed great faith in his ability to win Stalin's trust and to obtain Soviet postwar cooperation."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the year 1948 was a year of transition, after WWII and before the boom in America. It also looks at events that occurred in the Middle East, such as the Israeli War of Independence. The writer also examines social and cultural changes, which came about following the introduction of television and other technological advancements.
From the Paper
"It would seem that 1948 would be a year of peace, and that the world would be at peace after the horrors of World War II, but that is not the case. The State of Israel became reality in May 1948, and the day after it was created, the neighboring Arab nations of Egypt, Transjordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia declared war on the fledgling nation. First created as Palestine by a British Mandate, Israel declared her independence from Britain on May 15, 1948. Fighting was already routine in the area, and Israel's announcement just prompted more fighting. The outcome of this first Arab-Israeli War was a disaster for the Arabs, who lost even more territory to Israel, who drew their own boundaries at the end of the war, and gained 50 percent more area than the United Nations treaty had allowed them (when the country was initially created). Tensions in the area have never let up, and there is still fighting and animosity between the Arab nations in the area and Israel. Territories are still disputed, and terrorism continues almost daily in both Israel, Palestine, and beyond (Wikipedia, 2004)."

"It is one of the guns in Julian?s arsenal makes it?s presence during a family trip to Minneapolis. After returning from the bar, Wes tells Gail that ?Pop has pulled out that .32 revolver of his? to let ?the city boy? know he is not intimidated by what he was saying (74). Julian tries to protect the boots that he loves, his life as a rancher, being an outsider in this town and being a lawman during this confrontation.

Abstract
This paper presents a biographical history of Ana Mendieta, who was born in Havana, Cuba in 1948. The paper describes how Mendieta came to the United States as part of Operation Peter Pan. The paper contends that Mendieta has been considered a performance artist, a land/earth artist, and even a body artist. The paper describes her Silueta series. In creating the Silueta series, she is performing using the land and her body. Unlike the other land artists of her time, she did not aggressively shape or change the land; she just simply united with what was there.
From the Paper
"Freud has said that there are two sensations of home, one that signifies home but more over belonging, familiarity, intimacy and an overall sense of comfort. The other is of privacy or of something that is kept from sight. Mendeita?s removal from her country had a colossal impact on her work as an artist. She had a deep sense of loss for her home and her culture and this is shown clearly in the Silueta (silhouette) series. In order to maintain a sense of home in the cornfields of the Midwest, Ana immersed herself in her native culture to make an identity for herself, to keep a sense of home and to regain what she lost."

"The Immigration Policy of Israel, 1948-1994
This paper will discuss the immigration policies of the State of Israel, from the time of its inception to the present day. The overall policy has remained unchanged since the declaration of independence in 1948: all Jews from anywhere in the world are welcome to "return" to Israel and live as Israeli citizens. This policy applies only to Jews and Jewish immigration is the only kind of immigration which is welcomed. Within this overall policy, however, Jews from certain parts of the world are more welcome than others and receive preferential treatment. Jews from Europe and North America are preferred to, and enjoy several advantages over, Jews from Asian and African countries. Ironically, Jews from the latter group of countries have tended to outnumber those from the former group of countries and this..."

"Problem of Germany (1945-1948)
This research paper discusses the policy conflicts which arose between the United States and other Western powers and the Soviet Union over the problem of Germany during the years 1945 through 1948. Those policy conflicts and the underlying events are analyzed from the perspectives offered by different interpretations of them by traditional, realist, revisionist and neo-revisionist schools of thought.
The wartime Western-Soviet alliance effectively dealt with the common Nazi German military threat. However, by the end of World War II, the victors had agreed on little more than to occupy, de-nazify and jointly administer their defeated and devastated German former enemy. The traditional approaches of the United States and the Soviet Union to foreign policy largely..."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the depiction and treatment of Japanese culture and society in the American popular media during the year 1948. At that time, the United States had recently attained victory over the Japanese in World War Two. In various ways, the forces of the American occupation were trying to reshape Japanese society in order to prevent another war from breaking out in the future. During the Second World War, the Japanese people had proven themselves to be relentless in obeying the dictates of their Emperor. Most Americans believed that the Japanese invasion would have not been stopped had it not been for the devastating impact of the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945. Thus, in the years following the war, many Americans were concerned about the possibility of the Japanese regaining their military power. In addition, there was..."

"Effects of War on British Society 1899-1948
This research paper traces the impact of the three major wars of the 20th century on the British political and social order, the Boer War (1899-1902), the First World War (1914-1918) and the Second World War (1939-1945). The impact of these wars, especially the two world wars, on British society while great was highly variable, causing want, privation and suffering to some segments of society and producing political, economic and social gains, some transitory and others more permanent, for others. Their one common thread was enhancement of the unity of the nation and the power of the state, which proved to be a mixed blessing in some of its long run manifestations.
Effects of the Boer War
The Boer War was fought on distant battlefields in South..."

Abstract
This paper examines the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' influence the implementation of new policies by the U.S. Government since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The paper gives a detailed historical background into the reasons behind the Declaration's initial passage in the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1948. It then goes on to discuss the affects of the terrorist attacks on U.S. policy, and how this is intertwined with the Declaration. The author looks closely at the U.S. Government's proposed Combatting Terrorism Act of 2001 that was introduced as a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks, in light of the 1948 Declaration. Current attempts to introduce new policy that might be in conflict with both the spirit and actual text from the Declaration are also discussed in detail. The author then presents some alternative policies that may mesh with the Declaration and offers some recommendations in light of recent events.
From the Paper
"Another response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks was the creation and implementation of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act expanded the number of baggage screeners, imposed standards for their training, and made them federal employees for an interim period of time. Starting in January, 2002, all checked luggage was to be put through special explosives-detecting machines. In addition, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act increased the number of armed federal air marshals flying on domestic flights and required international airlines to turn over advance copies of their passenger lists to United States Customs officials for background checks to weed out suspected terrorists."

Abstract
De Sica is probably best remembered for his 1948 film, "The Bicycle Thief". It is a compelling cinematic commentary about post-war, post-Mussolini Italy. One of the striking features about it is the way in which de Sica downplays the emotions of the lead character in order to allow the setting, Rome, to take precedence.
