Abstract
This paper explains the methodology promised and employed in order to mollify the tragedy and indignity of the depression, known as the New Deal, Roosevelt's grand plan, to drag a struggling nation out of financial ruin and into what would become the world of modern politics.
From the Paper
"The New Deal divided the nation into the fairly distinctive categories of pro and anti New Deal. New Deal policies set an as yet unseen precedent for partisan politics as the notions of liberalism and conservatism came into direct conflict. Roosevelt followed the immensely unpopular Herbert Hoover, whose policies in dealing with the depression were of the "stay the course-a thousand points of light" variety. The political philosophy that, through hands-off government activity and minimal intervention, even the most dire economic situation will correct itself, was a distinctly republican one that perpetuates in republican policy making today."

Abstract
This paper is about the Great Depression that hit Americans during the 1930's. The author goes into depth about FDR?s ?new deal? and how it helped get America out of the depression. Includes information about each program and how it worked.
From the Paper
"During the 1930?s, Americans witnessed a breakdown of the Democratic and free enterprise system as the US fell into the worst depression in history. At the depth of the depression, in 1933, one American worker in every four was out of a job (Conkin 136). During these times the people looked to the federal government for solutions. The president then, Herbert Hoover, did little for the country to get out of the depression, because he believed that the country did not have the power or money for social programs and many people blamed him for the depression. With the economy at an all time low people wanted change, change which Franklin D. Roosevelt offered through his legislative program. This program represented a new way of government for capitalism in America. Roosevelt first used the term "New Deal" when he accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in 1932. He said "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people," (Morgan 36)."

Abstract
This paper outlines and describes the laws and reforms instituted by President Roosevelt in response to the tremendous suffering and hardship the American population was enduring as a result of the Great Depression and the stock market crash of 1929. The paper explains that, ultimately, the New Deal initiatives brought America back to the forefront and helped prepare it for WWII.
From the Paper
"According to historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, before 1935 "the American people had been through two profound shocks. The first was the shock of depression. . . the second was the shock of the New Deal which brought the sudden hope that the national government offered a means of recovery and progress. " And as a result of these "shocks," "the combination of the two. . . left the people. . . excited and vulnerable" (15). Thus, under the guidance of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the so-called New Deal which sought to bring an end to the devastating effects of the Great Depression, brought America and its citizens back from the brink of destruction and created an entirely new social and economic order that survived well into the 1940's and affected every aspect of American society."

From the Paper
"President Franklin D. Roosevelt's numerous policies and plans do not belong to any specific political or economic philosophy. Most of them emphasized the subordination of private interests to collective interests, through increased power and authority of the federal government. The New Deal was designed to stimulate economic recovery by promoting cooperation within agriculture and industry.
Relationships between income distribution, government spending, and savings and investments were not understood prior to the stock market crash. President Hoover did not regard many national problems as proper areas of federal action; in a competitive market, the economic system was thought to be adequately self-regulating by the free movement of prices in response to supply and demand. John Maynard Keynes did not ... "

From the Paper
" Historians take different approaches to the same material, bringing to their subject their own experience, interests, and special knowledge, as well as their own ability to pull ideas together and draw conclusions. The portrayal of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in William E. Leuchtenburg's book Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal is one historian's view of Roosevelt and a period in history. Roosevelt was president at a time of crisis, and he responded with the New Deal as a way of coping with the problems of the Great Depression. The New Deal has become a mythic beast in American political thought, praised by some as the process which solved the Great Depression, while others see it as a problematic program that outlived its usefulness and changed the way government relates to the people in a detrimental way."

Abstract
William Leuchtenburg's "Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal" is a text that combines recent American history with a political and sociological analysis of American policy and government and adds a healthy dose of biography of the president to give the mixture human drama. This paper presents a review of the book, tying many quotes of the original text into the review.
From the Paper
"Leuchtenburg sees the greatness of the Roosevelt administration in its ability to was reject out and out laissez faire economic strategies, as advocated by conservative, Republican monetarists, yet the administration also "shrank from embracing socialism," an ideology tempting not only to radicals but to many desperate Americans during what Leuchtenburg sees as this uniquely desperate time.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt?s New Deal, 2005.
A discussion on whether the New Deal can be considered revolutionary or conservative.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how eminent scholarship and critical historical reviews have stated that there was little about the New Deal that could be called "conservative" and that FDR was "cautious" not to allow America to slip into another depression. It examines how, in contrast, the New Deal was a revolutionary series of programs, simply because of the impressive number of innovative, bold initiatives that had never before been passed by Congress in such numbers.
From the Paper
"While some textbooks paint a picture that show Herbert Hoover's "New Era" and FDR's "New Deal" as "polar opposites," Lewis-Beck disagrees. He says that the New Deal wasn't so much a "fiscal revolution" as it was "elaborate old policies." In fact, the writer continues, while FDR is seen as a progressive and liberal, Hoover is being touted as the same kind of leader, by some historians - adding to Lewis-Beck's argument that FDR was not so very different from the politicians who preceded him. He cites several examples of programs FDR gets credit for that actually were initiated during the Hoover administration: The FERA, the NRA, the FDIC, the PWA, and more."

"THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND THE NEW DEAL
This research paper summarizes the policies employed by the New Deal administrations of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to cope with the Great Depression and examines their effectiveness. The aims of those policies were fourfold, the restoration of confidence, relief, recovery and reform. The New Deal's efforts to restore confidence and to alleviate suffering accomplished their purposes. The application of Keynesian economics to stimulate the recovery only partially succeeded because half.measures were taken. Some reforms contributed to the long term stability of the economy but others were not completed for political reasons.

Abstract
A study of William Styron, a recovering alcoholic who slid into a deep and complicated depression. The author tries to diagnose Styron who meets the criteria for a major depressive episode. For the bulk of Styron?s battle with depression, he was on medication, Halcion. With a situation as serious as William Styron?s he will have to spend a long time working on the causes of his depression that may still be buried.
From the Paper
"William Styron?s condition began to take over his life by late 1985. He states that it was present for several months, but it did not become apparent how serious it was until this time. It was in 1985 when he first thought that he might die due to his condition (Styron 1990). By December of 1985, Styron was thinking about suicide, but even before that, he could not function socially or in his career. He could not sleep, was disinterested in sex, had slowed speech, had a depressed mood for most or all of the day, was fatigued from lack of sleep, and could not concentrate on regular tasks (American Psychological Association, 1994; Styron 1990). His wife was concerned and encouraged him to seek help, but his friends tried not to bring it up too often (Styron 1990). At this time, and with this type of person ? upper class, ?socialite? ? it was not ?good manners? for friends to bring up personal problems. (Styron 1990). "

Abstract
This paper discusses the condition of depression and the possible causes of its development. It analyzes techniques used for treating depression, such as electroconvulsive therapy, as well as drugs prescribed for depression, such as mirtazapine, vanlafaxine and duloxetine.
From the Paper
" Electroconvulsive therapy applies shock to cause a seizure (FamilyDoc.org, 2005). The seizure releases many chemicals in the brain, called neurotransmitters, which deliver information or messages from one brain cell to another. This makes the brain cells work better and the person's mood will improve when brain cells and chemical messengers work better. In applying the therapy, the doctor first conducts a physical examination of the patient. If he or she is fit, an anesthesiologist applies anesthesia to put the patient in a sleep-like state. The anesthesiologist examines the heart and lungs of the patient or decides if some blood tests or an electrocardiogram will be needed before undertaking the first ECT treatment (FamilyDoc)."

From the Paper
"T.H. Watkins, in his book The Great Depression: America in the 1930s, argues that the programs of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, created as a result of the Depression, played a major role in advancing democracy and humane government. This study will argue that Watkins is correct in this assessment and in further declaring that the continuation of the intentions of the New Deal philosophy will mean that "we will have gone a long way toward honoring our own obligation to the future" (349). Watkins' argument favoring the New Deal and its heritage is particularly relevant today with the Republican-controlled Congress calling for massive cuts in social programs which are directly or indirectly the spawn of the New Deal.
The New Deal certainly did not help all the people who needed help in the Depression years. It would have been ..."
