Abstract
While Marian Wright Edelman, Anita Hill, Magic Johnson and Collin Powell are good examples of black leaders that are admired for their skills and character, there has also been enormous resistance in business, political organizations and communities to reduce racial inequality. The paper shows that even forty one years after the Civil Rights Act was passed in order to end racial discrimination in 1964, it is still very tough to be black in United States. The paper shows that, even more frustrating, the economic gains for blacks seem to have ended and even receded and a large group of black Americans remain lodged in the increasing social chaos of urban ghettos.
From the Paper
"Discriminatory actions by individuals and organizations are not only pervasive, occurring in every sector of society, but also cumulative with effects limited neither to the time nor the particular structural area in which they occur. This process of discrimination, therefore, extends across generations, across organizations, and by one generation in one area to future generations in many related areas. We can say without a doubt that economics is not only the root cause of racism but also the underlying force that keeps the oppression in place."

Abstract
This paper examines the similarities and differences between cultural racism in the United States and Europe. It discusses the strength of racism in both regions and the fact that in many cases it seems to be on the rise. The paper then looks at current efforts to control racism through legislation, but suggests that this will be ineffectual when there is a base cultural support for racisim.
From the Paper
"With such vigilance and fervor against racism, one must ask why it not only persists but seems to be thriving in Europe. In the United States, First Amendment protections allow citizens to organize and talk about nearly anything they'd like, including racist ideology. Combined with tensions over immigration, fear of people of Middle Eastern descent, and a standing racism with African Americans, it is little wonder that the United States not only has a history of racism but also a strong culture of racism. In Europe, however, many believe that legal prohibitions against racism and hate speech should be enough to protect ethnic minorities from racism and create a more egalitarian society. Unfortunately, Europe's record on racism is no better than the United States' (Kudnani, 1998). Tensions over immigration, rising populism, and antagonism toward Jews and Arabs all feed into a healthy subculture of racism. The conclusion we must draw from this is that racism cannot be dealt with on a political or legal level, but must be examined on a cultural level. Racism is rooted in a desire to protect members of one's own culture from outside threats. That this desire to protect manifests as racism is an unfortunate result."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while there have been great improvements in the condition of racism in the United States, there is still much racism to be overcome. The author points out that the Civil Rights movements throughout history have served to open many doors for African Americans; even 50 years of desegregation has not served to eliminate the vast poverty or lower levels of overall quality of life for the African-American populations. The paper stresses that perhaps the most glaring example of the racism still in existence today can be seen in the judicial system in America; an examination of over 2,000 murder cases in Georgia showed clearly that the death penalty was more likely to be sought by prosecutors if the victim of the crime was white.
From the Paper
"As early as the 1860's, the civil rights movement was beginning to slowly take form. With the end of the Civil War, and with the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery, the Fourteenth Amendment, which guaranteed protection of citizens, and the Fifteenth Amendment, which barred voting restrictions, the issue of civil rights came to the forefront. Yet the so called "freedoms" gained through the passage of the Amendments were quickly doused by "scientific" ideas that whites were supreme, and by state governments enacting numerous laws to severely restrict suffrage in the South. Through the combination of local, state and federal government, racial segregation began to emerge as a result. In addition, group such as the Klu Klux Klan formed to show white supremacy and began to emerge in both the north and the south, further limiting the freedoms of the African Americans."

Racism and Whiteness in the United States, 2002.
How racism has entered into every aspect of our society despite the official abolishment of slavery over a century ago.

Abstract
This paper examines the claim that racism is a pervasive social and political problem in the United States. It shows how abolition of slavery did little to improve the social status of black Americans, which is the reason why whiteness was and still is dominating America?s social fabric. The paper thus focuses on the important subjects of racism and whiteness in the light of intellectual research carried out by some famous activists and sociologists such as Robert Takaki and Bell Hooks.
From the Paper
"Whiteness is so intricately connected with issue of race relations in America that discussing the former always leads to explosive and controversial issue of racism. This is one reason why most of us would try to avoid talking about whiteness as it prevails in our country because we are afraid it might lead to issues that we want to desperately avoid. So what is it about whiteness and racism that add to their volatility and thus force us to bury them under heaps of pretensions and shallow discussions? I personally believe that discussions on racism and its close associate whiteness remain shallow because they can easily expose the problems that are still being faced by the minorities in our country. Though we would love to believe that after the abolition of slavery in 1860s, the race relations in the country improved and African-Americans were given their fair share of civil rights. But this is not exactly true. Racism still exists in our country and in some areas it is so harsh and prominent that one wonders if slavery was indeed ever abolished."

Abstract
This paper starts by briefly outlining the basis of the American economy in the colonial period, and then contrasting it with the period of rapid economic development from 1782 to 1815. The rest of the paper examines this period carefully. Key issues outlined include the influence of mercantilism, the development of the American Banking System, the evolution of the insurance industry, as well as agricultural advances such as the flour mill.
From the Paper
"From 1782-1815, there was an extraordinary amount of change that took place in America, particularly on the economic front. Extremely significant shifts in agriculture, manufacturing, banking, and many other areas of the American Economy transpired, and the foundation for the most successful economy in the world today was laid. When the economic history of the United States is examined, it is clear that the time period between 1782 and 1815 was in fact "a period of evolution to economic maturity for the infant United States.""

Abstract
The following paper discusses the real GDP and its rate of growth, consumer demand, price cutting, the rate of inflation, interest rates and the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank. The latter is discussed according to a breakdown in the financial analysis of the nation's economic year.
From the Paper
"Analysis of Impact according to Aggregated Demand and Supply: The rise in stock market prices, given the recent long-term downward trend of the stock market could cause an upsurge in consumer confidence and drive stock prices higher. One might assume that a sharp upturn in prices of a good or service (such as a stock) might cause the demand for that good or service to decline rather than to rise. However, in light of recent past economic factors, demand for stocks could rise as investors anticipate an economic recovery. Demand could go up, stimulating the economy, and prices would thus continue to increase."

Economic Causes of the United States Civil War, 2002.
This paper proposes that the Civil War was the culmination of four decades of intense conflict and deep-seated economic, social and political differences between the North and the South.

Abstract
The writer asserts that the quick growth of such a large and diverse stretch of land led to conflict that built until two distinct sides rose to war. The paper brings proof of the growing disparity in the differing natural resources and resultant cultural orientations of a dispersed population. The paper concludes with the final lead-up to war, the insistence of the North to collect taxes from the South.
From the Paper
"The South came to be an agriculturally focused area and the North became a force in manufacturing and shipping. These factors were salient in the development of two distinct cultures, one industrial (urban) and one agrarian (rural). These cultures had divergent views on life and government; both having a strong spirit of individualism and desire for self-determination."

China's Economic Relationship with the United States, 2005.
A discussion of the effect of China on the American economy.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper assesses the theory that one reason that the United States has for performing so poorly in the economic sphere in recent years is the growing strength of the economy of China. The growth of the Chinese economy has resulted in employment being taken from Americans as many companies have chosen instead to outsource their factories in China. The paper also discusses the political arena and argues that China is also gaining popularity while the U.S. is loosing respect on a world-wide scale.
From the Paper
"China's recent gains in industrial growth have changed the ways in which the rest of the world now perceives the country, especially concerning the other major world powers. As this trend continues, China could change current power relationships and current existing financial situations, especially in regards to the United States. If one country takes a strong hold on the economy, the entire ratio begins to shift. Currently, as China has taken such a stronghold through their economic and industrial growth, this has taken an affect on the United States. With China's new position in the Twenty-First century, the U.S. has been negatively affected in relation to their previous economic position, as China obtains manufacturing companies who once did business within the United States, begins to require and utilize more natural resources and fossil fuels..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the close ties between the United States and Great Britain are deeply rooted in common language as well as a long-running and deeply connected historical base of strongly tied economic as well as militaristic cooperation that has spanned since the era of World War II. The author points out that the United Kingdom is the United States' largest customer and the United States is the country that invests the largest amount, each year, in the United Kingdom. The paper relates that the commonly held values of democracy and the inherently held beliefs in the freedom of speech, human rights and a similar legal system are the ties that bind the two countries inevitably together.

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate what the real total economic cost of the Vietnam War was to the United States. The paper concludes that a reasonable estimate of the economic impact of the Vietnam War on the American economy is that an entire year's worth of productive activity was used to fight the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was the defining experience for a generation of Americans. Indeed, it is arguably one of the defining experiences of America as a whole in the Twentieth Century. Its impact on the men who fought there, the men (and women) who did not, the American military in general, American society and popular culture during and following the war has been well documented. However, it was not just a life changing experience for soldiers and protestors, or a force for social change, or even an inspiration for thousands of books and dozens of movies. War is not least an economic event. In addition to being a military defeat, a political blunder and a human tragedy, the Vietnam War was also an economic disaster."
