Abstract
The Black Hawk War, while only encompassing a brief period of time, has become a landmark in United States history. This is partially due to the large amounts of written materials left from the event, where other wars between settlers and the Native Americans went undocumented, and partially due to the mysterious circumstances of the confrontation. This paper will summarize the events of this war, in order to best demonstrate why the Black Hawk War has had so great an impact on our recent history.

Abstract
Historically, the war of 1812 has been attributed to Royal Navy outrages against American commerce and the impressment of sailors on American vessels in the years before 1812. However, a more plausible explanation focuses on the War Hawks and their combined desire to ensure egress for American products, eliminate perceived British support for the western natives and provide an excuse to move against Spain in Florida.

Abstract
This paper reviews Mark Bowden's book "Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War". The purpose of the paper is to compare the book's events to the 'Principles of War', an Army Field Manual FM-3 Military Operations, which describes nine principles of war and their definitions.
From the Paper
"So where did the mission fall short? One area was the principle of "maneuver," which is supposed to "Place the enemy in a position of disadvantage through the flexible application of combat power" (Editors). Unfortunately, the troops did not place their enemy at a disadvantage. Actually, they were at a disadvantage due to snipers and sharp shooters that they did not anticipate. The guerilla type tactics of the rebel forces took the troops by surprise and effectively pinned them down in different locations, which placed them at the disadvantage in the situation. The situation was complicated by poor communication and direction, which led to a prolonged time before the troops were liberated from the city. Not enough planning and understanding went into the ground portion of the maneuver, and so it ended poorly, and gave the advantage to the Somali rebels. "

From the Paper
"Somalia ? 1993. Two sides were fighting against each other to gain control of Somalia. One was led by "a member of the Abgal (Hawiye) subclan, and the other by General Mohamed Farad Aidid, a member of the Habr Gidir (Hawiye) subclan" (Lefebvre 49). By November 1991, thousands of Mogadishu residents died when fighting began between the two factions. The capital, Mogadishu, became two separate "cities," separated by a "green line" between the "northern part of the city controlled by Ali Mahdi's forces and the southern half in the hands of Aidid" (Lefebvre 49). Both factions said the food shipments meant for the starving population belonged to them, and as a result, food was not getting to the people. "

Abstract
This paper contains a general review of the book, with emphasis on the leadership qualities of the Rangers in Somalia. It explains that this book is a detailed and often emotional look into the men of the Army Rangers and Delta Force. It shows their fellowship, their dedication, and the demands their roles as soldiers ask of them.
From the Paper
"The author is strongest in his portrayals of the people involved in the mission. Through interviews and extensive research, he paints realistic pictures of the men, their ideals, and their beliefs. He illustrates what makes a good Army officer by showing these men at their best, and at their worst. Even a non-military reader will get an idea of the dedication to duty these men possess, and their importance to the Army and the Army mission. As the reader becomes more involved with the men and the situations, they become like friends, and the reader begins to understand their motivation as soldiers, and their needs as people. It makes them more real and engaging to the reader, but it makes the reader root for them, hoping they survive the nightmare the mission has degraded into. Some do, and some do not. It is real combat, with all the problems, solutions, and logistics that complicate any real life scenario. Civilians reading this book may get a better picture of just what it is that soldiers face every day they head into battle."

Abstract
This paper examines how James Cone believes that if blacks, particularly African-Americans, don't wake up and change the traditional American image of Jesus, they will probably never grasp the true philosophy and mission of Jesus. It discusses how African-Americans must see Jesus as a black man that endured the struggle and how it is the duty of black preachers, pastors and theologians to advocate black theology, which includes the black image of Jesus, for the sake and survival of the African-American experience.
From the Paper
"When one begins to think about God, questions arise as one lacks significant knowledge of God. When one begins to engage in such a dialogue, or entertains such questions, one has clearly entered the community of theology. The articles states: "The attempt to think about God leads immediately to a host of related question which are included under the term theology. First, there is the question of mans relationship to God, the ultimate source of things? Then we must ask about revelation to God, that is, how does man know what God is like? If God must reveal himself where and how is he revealed?" These are prospective questions that man can't escape when thinking about God or in dialogue about God. "

Free Blacks in American Society Prior to Civil War, 2006.

Abstract
A brief look at how black people in America lived prior to the Civil War. The paper describes the indignities they suffered, the restrictions imposed upon their lives and attitudes toward black people and slavery.
From the Paper
"One of the first such Churches was the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. When the whites found that the number of free blacks was on the increase, they became quite inordinately alarmed by the situation, and the result was that many more restrictions than were necessary were imposed on them, and one example of this is seen in the fact that in several parts of New England, blacks were not allowed to visit certain parts of the town without a valid pass, and they also needed special permission and a statement that would allow them to entertain slaves within their own homes. In some parts of the South, free slaves could very well be caught if they were seen traveling without a pass, and without written proof that they were indeed free. Whites could not overcome the fear that blacks would revolt and even organize a full fledged riot or revolution, and it was for this reason that they were not allowed to own a weapon of any sort even for their own protection."

Children's Perceptions Of Magical Events, 2005.
A study across multiple age groups on the perceptions of magical events.
2,305 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper states that children use both natural and supernatural entities to account for events. Thus, children could view television programs and movies from a magical perspective and come out with a distorted perspective on how life actually functions. This paper presents research that attempts to validate past research that found that children use magic as a solution to improvable events. The authors of the study contend that 3- to 4-year-olds will use magic more frequently as a solution to a problem that looks unattainable in real-life. The authors also contend that 10- to 12-year-olds will attribute a seemingly impossible event to tricks instead of magic. As age increases, children will use magic less and less as a solution for deceptive events.

From the Paper
"The participants involved in our study also were a limitation because they were all volunteers. Participants in this study all chose to participate; therefore they might have had some similar characteristics. The participants that came to the study might have wanted their kids to be involved in research and/or had a higher level of education then those who chose not to participate. The experiment may have left out a specific religious faith because some of the people who chose not to participate did do because they thought magic was evil. This detail also makes our results less generalizable to the public."

Abstract
This paper discusses change as an opportunity to learn and grow. The paper presents the writer's memories of two events that upset his well-ordered life and his resentment of these events that altered the course of his life. The two events explored in the paper are the death of an uncle that left a deep void in his life and the breakdown of an intimate relationship.
From the Paper
"Carl Jung once observed, ?We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.? (Words of Wisdom) The undeniable wisdom in Jung?s words is something that perhaps an adult, who is facing the disruption caused by the death of a loved one, can appreciate. I, however, was too young to even comprehend or accept that death is an inevitable part of life?s cycle. Therefore, my uncle?s death was a point of change and discontinuity, which resulted in a wide range of personal emotions that I had to learn to deal with. In fact, as I look back on that traumatic time, I am able to see exactly what Tennant and Pogson meant when they said, ?It is, thus, the unexpected life events, those that occur ?out of time? that are the potential crises.? (Smith, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses Kobasa's article about individual and group differences regarding responses to stressful life events. The paper discusses the topic, specifically examined by Kobasa, that personality is a major mediating factor in the presence of physical illness following a series of stressful life events, and then explains how Kobasa's article is designed to discover which personality factors were most significant in determining how a person reacts to stressful events.
From the Paper
"Moreover, in accordance with current research, Kobasa defines stress as a life event that ?causes changes in, and demands readjustment of, an average person?s normal routine,? (2). Stressful events can be ?positive,? such as marriage, or ?negative,? such as death of a loved one. Kobasa divides her hypothesis is divided into three key components, which she phrases: a) ?Among persons under stress, those who have a greater sense of control over what occurs in their lives will remain healthier than those who feel powerless in the face of external forces,? (Kobasa 1979, p.3); b) ?Among persons under stress, those who feel committed to the various areas of their lives will remain healthier than those who are alienated,? (Kobasa 1979, p. 3-4); c) ?Among persons under stress, those who view change as a challenge will remain healthier than those who view it as a threat,? (Kobasa 1979, p.4)."

From the Paper
"All events in some way reflect the culture of the place in which they are held. However, some events are held primarily for their cultural significance. Carnivals, heritage festivals, food festivals, and independence celebrations are examples of these types of events. Annual carnival celebrations in Trinidad and Tobago and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil are well known examples of huge cultural celebrations. The nation's beliefs and traditions of many cultures have come together and for a brief five days each year, the whole country forgets their differences to celebrate life. Carnival is such an important aspect of life in Trinidad that many schools believe that sponsoring a carnival band is a way to teach young people about their roots and culture. In this way, communities work together to develop stronger friendships and greater respect for the many cultures that make up Trinidad."
