Abstract
The paper discusses how Eudora Welty introduces her readers to the mind of a sociopath killer in her short story "Where is the Voice Coming From?". The paper discusses how the author strikingly illustrates the anatomy of racial hatred. The paper examines the short story that is a chilling account of a cold and calculated murder set in the South during the 1960s; the murder of a black man who had been campaigning for equal rights in the town of Thermopylae. The paper shows how the story is written in first person from the killer's perspective, without divulging his name, to allow Welty to retain a sense of moral distance from the character, who deserves no humanization or sympathy that a name would confer.
From the Paper
"The narrator is a resentful, spiteful man who murders Roland Summers because he hates seeing African-Americans achieving economic parity with whites, let alone superceding poor whites in the South. Throughout "Where is this Voice Coming From," the narrator reveals his resentful attitude. He says that the black man lives "pretty close to where I live," emphasis on the "I" to emphasize his hatred for simply living in the same region as black people. The narrator's resentment grows deeper and becomes more directly connected to economic parity. For example, he states, "his street's been paved," refers to his "new white car," and his "paved driveway.""

Abstract
This paper looks at this book which provides an in-depth study of anti-Semitism through the ages. It shows how the essenstial idea of anti-Semitism was the same at different periods in history but its style and form changed. It shows how at some stages it was based on religious reasons, others on economic reasons while some times simply on fear of the "other". It also looks at the most recent type of anti-Semitism in the form of anti-Zionism.
From the Paper
"Part One of this book is entitled ?From the Cross to the Swastika.? This section begins in antiquity with the roots of anti-Semitism beginning in Hellenistic times in Greece and later in ancient Rome. The Jewish Diaspora in the Hellenistic world is described as the Jewish persistence at maintaining their own monotheistic faith, keeping dietary restrictions in accordance with that faith, their disassociation with Gentiles and their contention that the Jewish faith was made up of God?s chosen ones (Wistrich, 4). Greek literature includes passages that express anti-Semitic attitudes against the exclusivity that the Jews themselves created. The reaction of the Hellenistic people was that the Jewish people?s wish to remain separate from their culture was best translated into an expression of ?hatred of the gods? (Wistrich, 5)."

Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts the two works, "Race Matters" by Cornel West and "The Souls of Black Folk" by W.E.B. DuBois, focusing on the similarity of black experience nearly 100 years apart. The paper discusses the theme of hatred in these two works and looks at whether blacks and whites can learn more understanding and tolerance. The paper explains that Du Bois seems optimistic this can occur, but West, writing in modern times, is more convinced that nothing but hatred and misunderstanding will exist between blacks and whites for the foreseeable future.
From the Paper
"Hatred has marked the black experience in America since southern planters first imported slaves into the country. For many years, the whites hated and distrusted the blacks, and yet relied on them for their manual labor. Later, the hatred translates into distrust on both sides. Author W.E.B. Du Bois notes, "With other black boys the strife was not so fiercely sunny: their youth shrunk into tasteless sycophancy, or into silent hatred of the pale world about them and mocking distrust of everything white.""

From the Paper
"The Cold War was characterized by mutual distrust, suspicion and misunderstanding by both the United States and Soviet Union, and their allies. At times, these conditions increased the likelihood of the third world war. The United States accused the USSR of seeking to expand Communism throughout the world. The Soviets, meanwhile, charged the United States with practicing imperialism and with attempting to stop revolutionary activity in other countries. Each block's vision of the world contributed to East-West tension. The United States wanted a world of independent nations based on democratic principles. The Soviet Union, however, tried control areas it considered vital to its national interest, including much of Eastern Europe."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Although the Cold War occurred after the Second World War, it had its roots in the events that took place towards the fag end of World War I. At the time of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the First World War was nearing its end; Russia?s new Communist leader Vladimir Lenin decided to withdraw his country from the war. Military intervention in Russia by the United States, Britain, France, and Japan, soon followed? purportedly to restore the collapsed Eastern Front in their war effort against Germany. (Legvold, para on ?Background.?) The Communist Russia saw the intervention as an attempt to undermine the fledgling revolution. This sowed the seeds of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States that came to fore several decades later in the post World War II period."

McCarthy and the Cold War, 2005.
Discusses the events leading up to the Cold War and the impact the Cold War had on the society and politics of the United States.

Abstract
This paper looks at how the Cold War with the Soviet Union fed fears of Communism and feelings of paranoia and, ultimately, allowed Joseph McCarthy to wield tremendous political and social power in the United States. The paper describes the history of McCarthy's anti-communist campaign, his obsession with the communists-in-government issue, the conditions at the time that allowed him to feed on the American fear of Communism, why he was so popular, and how he was finally defeated.
From the Paper
"One aspect of history is that a country?s so-called ?friend? one day, can be an enemy the next and visa versa. The United States and Soviet Union during World War II joined ranks against the real threat of Nazi Germany. However, it did not take long after the end of the war for Russia and the United States to once again bully each other. Even before the final surrender of Germany in 1945, the two super powers rapidly found themselves in a new military and diplomatic rivalry. Meanwhile, in the United States, the economy was taking time to build and unemployment was growing. Thoughts of the Depression loomed in people?s minds. The friction with the Russians, which would receive the name of Cold War, did not help. Yet it did create a scapegoat for fears and feelings of paranoia. As the tensions between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. mounted, the Communist threat reached American shores. Surely, Russia was infiltrating the government. The Rosenberg?s trial in 1951 put all the props on the stage for the director Joseph McCarthy."

Conclusion: Who Won the War?
From the Paper
"The Cold War began in 1947 and ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991. The two forces at the heart of the conflict was the United States and their allies against the Soviet Union and their set of allies. This struggle is called the Cold War because open hostility never occurred. However, the situations never escalated into full scale war or battle. The war was fought using posturing and information swapping regarding who had the worst weapons and who would likely to be able to inflict the most damage on the other should a full scale war occur."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Cold War was a globalized conflict, which dragged every nation into the geopolitical game being played by U.S.S.R. and the U.S. It shows how the third world nations of Africa, Middle East, Asia and Latin America had severe economic repercussions under the shadow of the superpowers. The author points out that the 'Guatemalan Affair' is an instance of how the U.S. used its economic might to create instability in this Latin nation and use the opportunity to install a favorable puppet government. The paper relates that the Cold War had a positive effect of the economic recovery of Japan and Germany, spurred scientific research and served as a proxy war.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Gorbachev's presidency marked a new dawn in the relationships between U.S. and the Soviet Union. It was during his tenure that the INF treaty (Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces) was signed that eliminated all nuclear arms in the range of 500 and 5500 Kilometers. The early nineties however meant an economic downturn for the soviets and many European countries and the soaring unemployment under the socialist policies created poverty and social unrest. The Soviet Union was forced to enter the open market in exchange for aid. The ensuing coup saw the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the declaration of independence by the republics. Thus the death of the soviet empire marked the end of the Cold War."

The Cold War, 2004.
This paper is about the historiography examining the origins of the Cold War.
2,535 words (approx. 10.1 pages), 21 sources, MLA, $ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the historiography of the origins of the Cold War passes through three chronologically defined and ideologically distinct phases, which can be called ?traditionalist?, ?revisionist?, and ?post-revisionist?. Each reflects the cultural and political attitudes prevailing in the wider Cold War context of the particular era in which it flourished. The author points out that some historians believe that power politics and strategic considerations were more important than ideology in determining Soviet policy and behavior; therefore, the Cold War resulted from a contest of great powers, not a conflict of ideologies, and both the United States and the Soviet Union bear responsibility for the origins of the Cold War. The paper relates that a new element, which reflects important trends in modern Cold War scholarship, concerns the personality of Stalin, the nature of authoritarian government, and the character and content of Communist ideology.
From the Paper
"From the end of the Second World War until the mid-1960s, the ?traditionalists? held the field with a standpoint that can be summarized as essentially pro-American/pro-Western and anti-Soviet. Essentially, such scholars held the Soviet Union responsible for the onset of the Cold War by undermining the Second World War alliance between East and West, increasing the level of military confrontation between Russia and America, and acting aggressively to promote the imposition and spread of Communism in Europe and elsewhere. It was thus argued that the United States was correct in its policy of containment towards the USSR and the Eastern Bloc, and that the American position was essentially a defensive one forced upon it by the hostility and aggression of the Communist East."

From the Paper
"This study will examine Dismantling the Cold War Economy, by Ann Markusen and Joel Yudken, considering the chief problems associated with the Cold War economy, the impact of the Cold War on U.S. industry, and the possibility and opportunities of economic conversion from Cold War imperatives, as well as the obstacles to that conversion. The argument herein will be that despite the fact that the military domination of the Cold War economy created serious obstacles to post-Cold War conversion, and despite the fact that those obstacles are deeply entrenched despite the end of the Cold War, such conversion is possible. Perhaps the authors are overly optimistic in this regard, but it would still be going too far to argue that conversion is impossible. After all, the conversion to a military-industrial-dominated economy (which had its origins not in the Cold War but ..."

From the Paper
"This research examines Cold War culture, in which the issue of public image, or perception, of geopolitical rivals and allies and their adherents surfaced as a recurring theme throughout the last half of the 20th century. The research will consider ways in which commentators and artists, via public statements, the public discourse, and such media as television and film, treated the question of image in that period, with a view toward identifying reasons that perception was so important to so many as well as evaluating the weight that Cold War-context presentation carried in shaping the culture of the time.
The generation that witnessed and participated in World War II was shocked to learn afterward that some 12 million people--6 million of them Jews--had been murdered, not collaterally but before and in parallel with the shooting war in Europe, as a ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the opinions of many after September 11th, that the present form of terrorism has made classical deterrence theory outdated. According to the paper transnational terrorism has totally dented conventional wisdom, which had dictated proceedings during the cold war. Similarly, rogue states all over the world, in general, and the Middle East and South Asia, in particular, have created a great deal of tension in Washington. The paper further discusses how the role of the American rival states, such as, North Korea and China and the functions and limitations of the UN Security Council have completely transformed the security structure of the sole hyper power of the world. This paper tries to elucidate the best possible deterrence strategy the United States should pursue after the cold war.

From the Paper
"At the threat of generalization, one could make a case that US relations with China were greatly powered by two issues: the vicissitudes in the Sino-Russo association and--the more significant of the two--the Taiwan problem. For 30 years following the "People's Republic of China" (PRC) emergence in 1949, the United States carried on to acknowledge the adversary Chinese government (the Republic of China, or ROC) that had moved to Taiwan after trailing behind the civil conflict on the mainland. The path to ultimate US standardization with the PRC in 1979 was cemented by US President Richard Nixon, whose striking plan was to build a coalition with China--which was, at that time, in conflict with the Soviet Union--in an effort to oppose the increasing Soviet threat. However the United States, in spite of everything, maintains informal relations with the Republic of China. Certainly, under the "Taiwan Relations Act," a piece of internal US legislation, Washington is under a duty to defend Taiwan's safety and therefore carry on arms sales to the isle .
Washington's Taiwan association has bedeviled its dealings with the Republic of China from this time onwards, even more so following 1988 when Taiwan's political leadership demonstrated growing inclinations in the direction of a separatist route outside the One China state-of-affairs. All through a brief disagreement amid mainland China and Taiwan in 1996, the United States sent off two naval battle factions to the Taiwan channel to demonstrate moral cooperation for Taiwan (and maybe to gratify President Clinton's congressional associates). An unintentional war with China was hardly prevented only with the sensible removal of the US carrier Independence, at the same time as, the second carrier, the Nimitz, was still on its route as of the Mediterranean Sea. The narrow escape drove home the Republic of China's sincerity in relation to Taiwan to the Clinton management, forcing it to assume a soul-searching evaluation of Sino-US strategy. The concluding decision for Clinton's "thoroughgoing" engagement policy concerning the Chinese, which he practiced all through his second presidential tenure, was to prevent himself from being heaved into an unintentional war with China on behalf of Taiwan ."

The Cold War, 2002.
A study addressing the question: "Was the Cold War a statement of power?".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper deals with how the Cold War affected the power of the United States. A synopsis of the Cold War is given, which includes the background of World War II. Kennedy?s role in the Cold War is examined as is Winston Churchill?s speech of 1946 at Fulton, Missouri. The purpose of the war is explored, and the development of NATO is looked at. William Odom?s reasons for the war are cited. The paper concludes with the after-effects of the Cold War noticeable today.
From the Paper
"One of the many reasons for war has evolved around the need for power and control. This can be seen in most countries and the reasons they have war. Was the political reason that the United States was involved in the Cold War a statement of power over the Soviet Union? Did the United States want to make a bold statement to other countries that the United States believed in democracy and would fight if needed to help other countries maintain their democracy? Was the real reason for the war a bold statement to others that United States had power and would use it if need be? Why or Why not? Is the Cold War really over? Will there be another Cold War? What affect has the terrorists had on the nation and the Cold War? Will Russia side with the United States?"

From the Paper
"The Soviet Union, as to be anticipated, wanted to rebuild their near-destroyed economy using German industry. The United States feared it would have to pay the whole cost of transformation Germany, which in turn would help rebuild the Soviet Union. So, after all the discussions had ended, conciliation was reached and Germany was to be partitioned into four occupied zones. Britain, France and the United States would occupy parts of western Germany while the Soviet Union would occupy East Germany."
