Abstract
This paper discusses the path towards self-realization, tracing the development of moral philosophy in the book, "Ethics since 1900" written by Mary Warnock. The paper explains that Warnock's ideas are divided into six categories-- metaphysical ethics, Moore's moral philosophy, intuitionism, emotive theory, moral psychology and Sartre's existentialism. The paper contends that throughout these categories, Warnock attempts to prove that the moral philosophy of the 20th century has centered on personal development and that this focus has led to more deterministic philosophy.
From the Paper
"The emergence of the twentieth century gave birth to numerous ideologies and new philosophies that threatened to change the order of human society. Indeed, with the proliferation and influence of the ideology of Karl Marx and the radical and disturbing science of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytical theory, 20th century society has become more receptive to new thinking about human life and reality. One common theme that is apparent among these ideologies and philosophies, however, is that they focus on the vitality of the individual in the midst of a rigidly organized and dominantly capitalist society. There is greater emphasis on the development of the individual more than ever, and this trend has encouraged philosophers and researchers alike to pursue more studies and inquiries about the nature and process that an individual undertake throughout his/her lifetime."

Abstract
In this paper, the author argues that the Canons of Professional Ethics written for attorneys in the early 1900's are no longer relevant. The paper gives a brief historic background of the Canon's adoption, then highlights the major points of contention, showing point by point how the Canons no longer apply. The author further contends that the Canons often fail to embrace the realities of the legal profession, especially of defense attorneys who must often defend unpopular clients or even for attorneys who wish to solicit business. The writer describes the Canons as often vague, contradictory, and unenforceable.
From the Paper
"Many of the Canons could actually subvert the intention of attorneys to represent clients to their fullest extent. Consider the working Canon 28: "It is unprofessional for a lawyer to volunteer advice to bring a lawsuit, except in rare cases where ties of blood, relationship, or trust make it his duty to do so." (Hurld, 2004) Yes, this would forbid ambulance chasing or advertisements asking a parent of a sick child if medical malpractice might be the cause of their child's infirmity, the sort of attorney advertising and grandstanding non-lawyers enjoy pointing to, when these laypersons explain why they despise attorneys."

Abstract
This paper examines the ways historians have characterised the nationalist women's movements in colonial India between 1850 and 1900. The author has also looked at three different schools of thought as separate chapters, in order to look at the notions of practices such as sati and Purdah that were prevalent in colonial India during the time in question.
Outline:
Introduction
The Cambridge School
The Feminist School
The Subaltern Approach
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Most of the government reports were written by men, either by British colonial officials, people appointed by the Raj or people associated with the nationalist parties like the Congress Party. They help to provide the public context of the anti-colonial movement and the British response to it, however this was the public context viewed through male only eyes and so cannot provide the entire picture.
"Furthermore, there is not much information concerning women's contributions in the domestic domain, which is central to women's experiences and so consequently is the main concern of women's writings. I will try to illuminate the work of historians who have looked at the role of women's agency both 'hidden' and 'seen', inside and outside of the domestic sphere.
"There are some perspectives that have not produced a sufficient amount of research to look at on the topic in question with one such perspective being Marxism, whereby there have been no major historical writings on the issue of Indian women."

Abstract
This paper looks at the representation of fascism within the film medium of "1900". The paper looks at how films re-vision historical events and themes through close analysis of the portrayal of fascism in the film. The paper looks at Bertolucci himself, his views and beliefs and whether or not he challenges or advocates historical myths and assumptions.
From the Paper
"Bertolucci was born in Parma, Italy in 1940. His father encouraged his love of film, being amongst many things a film critic, and history professor , while his mother, whom Bertolucci described as "the most mysterious person in my life" , played a rather remote role within the family. Bertolucci has created a number of films, many enjoying commercial and critical success. Bertolucci's films often make political comments, furthermore 1900, despite being funded by two major American film companies ironically displays communist sentiment. 1900 re/visions the class struggle between the peasants and the landowners within 75 years of Italian history. This is captured within a four and a half hour long 'epic', exploring the relationship between two boys born on the same day from different class structures and foregrounding the rise of fascism and socialist resistance in Italy. Arguably film is the chief carrier of historical messages , being more accessible than novels or history books. However, film is perhaps the most problematic means of historical representation. Hollywood films attempt to make profit, thus they strive to entertain, win awards, and to a much lesser extent educate. 1900 is not a Hollywood film, and despite having big name actors , the film by no means follows typical Hollywood conventions. Historical films 're/vision' history; they transcend the 'linear, analytic and scientific' , and often move beyond absolute realism. They provide a vision which is subject to the value systems and motives of the filmmaker and the period in which the film was made. Through close examination of 1900, Bertolucci's revisioning of the understanding of Fascism is clearly displayed."

From the Paper
"American women?s fashion throughout the twentieth century has undergone drastic changes as the years passed. All through the century, fashion was influenced by the economy and popular culture. Women?s fashion especially exemplifies the changes of hair, makeup, dresses, pants, shoes, hats, and so many other things which have all gone through massive modifications. The American women of this century have been especially mindful of their fashion, and their concerns have been brought out through what they wear. Each decade has had their own fashion revolutions and disasters, but each has also brought about revolutionary changes in style, that still affects us today and will for many years ahead."

Hawaii 1810-1900, 2005.
This paper discusses the history of Hawaii from the time that Kamehameha the Great unified the islands in 1810, to its annexation as Hawaii Territory, a United States territory, in 1900.

Abstract
This paper explains that, from the time when Kamehameha the Great unified the islands in 1810, to the overthrow of the Hawaiian government in 1893, Hawaii metamorphosed from a feudal society into an independent constitutional monarchy, which, compared to the similar development in Europe, practically happened overnight in Hawaii. The author points out, that in 1887, a group of American and European businessmen and an armed militia, associated with a secret society called the Hawaiian League, which favored annexation to the United States, forced the king at gunpoint with a bayonet at his throat to accept what is today known as the Bayonet Constitution. The paper relates that President Grover Cleveland had refused to approve the annexation of Hawaii; however, in 1896, William McKinley replaced Cleveland as president and gave his blessing to annexation.
From the Paper
"The Wilson-Gorman Act passed by Congress in 1894 discontinued the bonus to sugar producers in the United States and restored the tariff on sugar imported into that country, so that the Hawaiian sugar industry once more enjoyed the benefits conferred by the reciprocity treaty. Consequently the labor question again became pressing. In the 1880's the government had begun the introduction of contract laborers from Japan in order to counterbalance the Chinese and restrictions had been placed upon the immigration of Chinese. In the 1890's the situation was reversed. By 1896, the Japanese made up nearly a fourth of the whole population. There were real fears that Hawaii might become a Japanese colony. Various measures were therefore adopted to reduce the volume of Japanese immigration and to encourage the immigration of Chinese. Yet during three years, from 1895 to 1897 that this policy was followed, the number of Japanese immigrants still exceeded the Chinese by more than two thousand."

From the Paper
"The Tango finds its origins in Argentina where culture was a mix of African, European, and Latin rhythms, sounds, and colors. At the turn of the last century, the Tango had become popular outside of the boundaries of Buenos Aires and became part of the repertoire of singers, piano players and bands from New York to London and Paris. By the 1920?s, the dance had acquired a very sophisticated image as being cosmopolitan and elegant. It eventually gained a lyrical counterpart and the songs were as deep and meaningfully passionate as the dance. When the dance became formalized and the steps immediately recognized throughout the world, writers started adapting the songs and lyrics of the previous decade to the new rhythms which exploded the Tango into a movement. Hollywood glamorized the tango with Rudolph Valentino."

From the Paper
"On August 27th, 1900, meteorologists began to notice a small storm developing in the equatorial mid-Atlantic. Still getting organized, it drifted westward through the Greater Antilles with moderate winds and torrential rains. In Jamaica, miles of roadway, railroad tracks, and sidewalk were washed into the ocean. Cuba was submerged in over two feet of rainwater, and much of southern Florida faced the wrath of the hurricane, as well. As it crossed over the tepid waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the storm gained strength, eventually making its way to the shores of Galveston, Texas."

The U.S. and Latin America (1900-1935), 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that, until the 1940s, Latin America was an economic "free zone" for the U.S., zealously guarded by the Monroe Doctrine, which was established in 1823, at a time when most Latin American nations were first tasting the freedom of their own statehood. The author points out that the determination of the U.S. to control commerce than the completion of the Panama Canal and the seizure of Panamanian lands to form a U.S. Canal Zone is the single most event to demonstrate American exploitation. The paper relates that "Dollar Diplomacy" still exists today; but, the first-third of this century saw a far more one-sided, brazen and opportunistic means of finding legal ways to get economic advantages because American businessmen, in combination with the State Department, looked upon Latin Americans as not trustworthy, not competent and certainly not the equal of the "democratic" Americans.
From the Paper
"Central America became the domain of agricultural enterprises, such as United Fruit and Standard Fruit Company. They literally "owned" and "ran" Nicaragua and Guatemala. Despite uprisings- the most serious occurred in 1930, where" a dozen Standard Fruit employees were killed, including eight Americans,...and the company begged for American intervention." A naval ship was sent to the scene, but the rebels had already gone. As Uncle Sam has positioned himself as the bringer of democracy to Latin America, so the American companies have followed the diplomats (or even preceded them) in order to have "the whip hand in negotiations with local governments, and the resulting foreign investments have brought fewer and fewer benefits to the host country.""

"Technological Innovation and Economic Growth: 1750-1900
In the United States the growth of the industrial era really began with national efforts at improvement of means of communication. Improved transportation meant that greater amounts of products could be moved long distances, faster, on a consistent schedule, and at cheaper rates than ever before. Starting with the canal and primitive but improved road systems of the first quarter of the 19th century, improvements in transportation really impacted the growth of the American industrial economy with the advent of interlinked railroad lines and the improved locomotive of the 1830s and 40s. Alfred D. Chandler Jr. notes that by the 1850s, the railroad industry pioneered the managerial capital enterprise because thousands of salaried managers (with little or no personal investment in the compared.."

" Political and Economic Development of Latin America since 1900
This paper will discuss the political and economic development of Latin America in the 20th Century. Since 1900, the economic situation in Latin America has evolved from exportdriven economies, through import-substituting industrialization to the beginnings of a true world market-driven economy. All of these economic changes have been precipitated by economic crises throughout the 20th Century, as the countries of Latin America have experienced few extended periods of economic success. The political situation in Latin America has been affected by political ideas and traditions which date back to the conquest and settlement of Latin America by the Spanish and Portuguese, by the influence of the United States, and by the rise and fall of economic fortunes. In fact, the recent trend towards civilian.."
