From the Paper
"Winston S. Churchill?s The Great Republic: A History of the United States proves that sometimes foreigners get things right, for unlike so much European commentary on the United States that views all Americans as either cowboys or Marine Corps jugheads (or CIA spooks) determined to take over the world and unsatisfied until a McDonald?s sits on every corner of every village of the world, Churchill?s examination of American life is an accurate and perceptive description of many of the most important aspects of American culture and can serve as a guide both to the foreigner wishing to understand how Americans got to where we are (or at least where we were three generations ago) and the American wanting a more synthetic view of his or her country?s own history, policy and culture. The work is the joint effort and..."

Concerning the age of entry to compulsory education in the U.S., it varies, according to the state, between 5 and 7 years of age, 6 being the most common; the age of exit varies between 16 and 18 years of age, the most common being 16. The length of primary education varies from four to seven years. According to its length it is followed (or not) by a number of years of middle school education (generally three years). Secondary education occurs in grades 7-12, depending upon the laws and policies of states and local school districts. There is no national structure, curriculum or governing law; all laws and policies are set and enforced by the 50 state governments and the over 14,000 local school districts. All states and school districts have set the secondary school graduation level as the completion of 12th grade, and the common name for the secondary graduation qualification is the High School Diploma (USNEI, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper studies the effects of international migration on the social and political climate of the U.S., which is analyzed through theoretical perspectives suggested and based on discussions provided by four social scientists, Douglas Massey, Kim Matthews, Paul Kennedy, and Nina Schiller. Their analyses are discussed vis-a-vis Stephen Castles and Mark Miller?s proposed migration theories and models presented in their book, ?The Age of Migration.?
From the Paper
"Migration, as a social activity, is a vital element considered not only for its importance in determining specific aspects of a country?s socio-demographic characteristics, but in determining the psycho-demographic characteristics of societies and cultures within that country. Indeed, it is evident that apart from serving as a catalyst in changing the social structure of societies, migration also helps change and bring dynamism to a the norms, traditions, and values held important by a society and culture. Take as an example the history of migration in the United States. Historical events such as the first and second World Wars have triggered the sudden increase in migration of people from different countries in the world. Furthermore, migration also increased as an effect of the economic and political stability of the US, as compared to other countries in the world, which are either experiencing economic crisis or political instability, or both."

From the Paper
"Most of the Dominican Community see Spain as "la Madre Patria" (the Motherland), this bring somewhat of a euphoric connection to the country causing a movement to migrate to Spain. There has been an alternative movement towards migrating to Spain because of the language similarities and visa exemptions toward Dominican Republic until 1985. An option to migrate to a Western European State such as Spain was an alternative to those who did not have family or other contacts in New York or the United States. The break down of Dominican migrants' population group: most migrants are female; most come from small villages of the Dominican Republic and have little or no formal education. When these groups journey to Spain, they come across being very isolated from the community and do not integrate with the Spaniard community. Xenophobic Spaniards exist within Madrid where most of the population views color of their skin, and difference of culture as a huge problem (New North African Immigration to Spain). The Embassy of the Dominican Republic official count of migrants reach towards 5,000 nationals, in an unofficial report they state that as many as 15,000 undocumented migrants live within the state (Dominican Migration). Dominican Immigrants mostly make up a part of the informal Market because in most cases those who migrate do it for Economic Prosperity. The two groups work in different ways when dealing with migrating to the U.S. and Spain, the Dominicans mostly women, tend to stay for a short period of time in the domestic house maid work for several months then leave back to the D.R. and open up a business in their home town village and men who migrate at a more limited bases for construction (Forging an Immigration Policy). In the late 19th Century to the early 20th Century the U.S. had a policy placed by Congress to apply for a visa that required a literacy requirements, and which also had a classification process in which the "undesirables" "from immigration were prevented from coming in such as convicts, lunatics, alcoholics, vagrants, and anarchists, among others." These policies were made to move cultures that were more likely to assimilate in the English language and mach the white American Anglo Saxon complexion and this did not favor Dominicans (Immigration Policy)."

While it did not appear that the initial court would ever have such an impact on the country, the expertise of the judges that have served on the court altered that opinion, allowing the court to become the most dominant judicial force within the United States. The United States Constitution gave the duties of forming a court system in the country to the United States Congress through Article III, Section I. "

"To the scientific community, it is the Camellia sinensis (Sivasubramaniam 2004); to school children in the United States, it was one of the causes of the American Revolution and was the focus of a historically significant "party" in Boston to protest British taxation of the colonies (Weinstein 2001); to a legion of faithful in the United Kingdom, though, it is delicious and ubiquitous tea. What is it about this modest beverage that is made by simply steeping leaves in hot water that attracts 90 percent of the world's population (Lane 1993)?"

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines a number of well-known leaders with an special focus on the traits they shared that are necessary in individuals who lead others. The paper further describes their leadership styles, the impact that they had or are having on leaders today, and the kinds of leadership tools that many of them used. This is followed by a brief literature review that addresses leadership and why it is crucial to have strong leaders in the world today. Some of the leaders discussed include General Colin Powell, who lived by the 18 rules of leadership which are listed in the paper. Dr. Martin Luther King's life and leadership role is also described. The paper concludes with a bullet point literature review.
From the Paper
" This is not only good in many instances when nothing happens on a large scale, but it can be very important to individuals that need good leadership for them to understand that a smoothly running business, life, or country usually does not experience large-scale happenings, although sometimes they are necessary when they are for the greater good, as will be seen. Those that crave excitement, danger, and risk-taking all of the time are not generally good candidates for most kinds of leadership because they try to change too many things too quickly and this stops them from stopping and thinking long-term about what it is that they might be affecting by their actions. Good leaders, however, have to be willing to 'make a fuss' when the need arises or when they see something that must be changed and cannot be changed through any other means."

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
The paper discusses the conception of 'new history" or 'history from below' and states that it has its foundations in a wide range of connected disciplines and contemporary theoretical trajectories and stances. The paper comments that the foundation of 'history from below' lies in the questioning of the hegemony of old and more elitist views of history and the context of historical reality The paper concludes that the writing of 'history from below' provides a much-needed and important part of historical research and discourse in contemporary scholarship.
Outline:
Introduction and Overview
British Multiculturalism
Conclusion
From the Paper
" In conclusion it should be noted that the "new history" and the stance that takes its point of departure from 'below" in Britain owes much to the earlier Marxist historians. These historians are in fact seen as the "progenitors" of contemporary "history from below." (Kaye 182) Given this legacy in the British context it is not surprising that much of the historical research has been focused on the marginalized and disenfranchised cultures and sections of the population.
"For example there has been a great deal of research on the Asian and Pakistan immigration to the country. After the Second World War there was a large scale immigration of Muslims from various counties including North Africa to Britain. The central reason for this was the need in Britain for cheap industrial labor and they "...turned towards their former colonies in South Asia and North Africa to fill labour shortages... (What perspectives for Islam and Muslims in Europe?) Research into this area has produced numerous studies dealing with the prejudice and the alienation that these immigrants experienced. This type of research clearly shows the link and the connection between 'history from below' and multiculturalism and also suggests that these two concepts are inextricably intertwinwed in this new approach to history. While there are many detractors and critics of this new historical approach, there are also many who see 'new history' as advancing the aims of the discipline."

Abstract
One of the key historical events of the 20th century was known as the Great Depression. This paper discusses the views of several historians - Howard Zinn, Paul Johnson, and George Brown Tindall/David Emory Shi. All agree on the general dates of the event, on its beginning in 1929 with the Stock Market crash and on the fact that the Roosevelt Administration, which was elected to do something about the economy, used the New Deal as a way of addressing this issue. All produced general histories of the United States for the average reader rather than the specialist, and all have found an audience for their books. The paper shows, however, that the three works do show differences in how they view these events and in how they write about them. These differences are discussed in the paper.
Works Reviewed
Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States"
George Brown Tindell and David Emory Shi's "America: A Narrative History".
Paul Johnson's "A History of the American People"
From the Paper
"Tindall and Shi also give more attention to the efforts Hoover made to bring about a recovery, and to the fact that his failure led to the end of his administration and the election of Roosevelt as a way of changing the leadership and so addressing the problem with a new team. They also provide more detail on the way Congress reacted. Their book is more detailed than Zinn's, for he seeks to explain broader historical trends, while Tindall and Shi give their attention to specific events in a more detailed fashion."
