"Change in Europe: 200 to 800 AD
This paper will discuss the driving force of change in Europe from 200 to 800 AD. The main emphasis of this paper will be that change was the most significant force in Europe during this time period, rather than continuity.
In 200 AD, the Roman Empire had reached its zenith in terms of geographical area. In the south, Roman influence and control extended to the southern regions of what is now Algeria. In the east, the garrison town at Dura-Europos overlooked the Euphrates River. And in the north, the Roman army had established an outpost in Scotland. These outlying points marked the vague boundaries of the Empire, and the furthest reaches of Roman culture. Roman culture and society defined the world within these boundaries (Brown 11-12)."

Abstract
Edward Bellamy's novel, "Looking Backward: 200-1887", addresses the issue of industrialization in his time and his dream of a Utopian society. The novel follows a young Bostonian man through his journey from a time of social horrors to the perfect, or what seems to be perfect, future of a Utopia. The paper shows how the novel addresses the yearnings of a society stricken by economic panics and social collapse by proposing an Eden-like community in which war, hunger, greed and malice were eliminated from society.
From the Paper
"As stated earlier, Bellamy used this novel as a way to convey his thoughts on a Utopia to the public. In a time when his society was in shambles, he thought this a perfect and simple solution to the many problems faced in the economy such as labor, education, and human equality. He believed that by granting the government complete control, complete harmony would be achieved. However, he neglected to see that the possibility of human behavior to change so drastically so as to not have greed, lust for money, or animosity toward those less fortunate, was near impossible."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the history of the Chinese family from the time of the late Han dynasty (approximately 200 A.D.) to the early Ch'ing dynasty (approximately 1700). During this long period, there was very little change in the role and structure of the Chinese family. In terms of structure, the extended family was the preferred unit because it increased the strength and stability of the family group. Over time, this idea was expanded until clans and lineages became predominant elements in Chinese society. Other structural elements in the traditional Chinese family centered around authoritarian values, such as male dominance and respect for the elderly. One of the major roles of the family during this time was to help provide a secure basis for social order. In addition, the family was important because it provided purpose and meaning in the life of the individual."

From the Paper
"The local chapter is the Goodwill Industries of the Chesapeake. This chapter is a documented 501(C) (3) not-for-profit agency whose mission is to provide career development, employment, and related social services that aim to assist people with special needs. A 501(c) (3) is a type of corporation that has been recognized by the federal government as an organization whose general purpose is educational, religious or charitable. As is the case of Goodwill, many not-for-profit corporations have extremely large budgets yet still rely on a level of public support over and above the revenues generated. "Since donations typically come by the carload, a ton may just be one ton of an understatement. In order to keep the 12,000-square-foot retail store full, Goodwill Industries depends 100 percent on these donations." "

The Han Dynasty, 2006.
A discussion regarding the Han Dynasty, which ruled China from about 200 B.C. to about 220 A.D.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes Chinese history. The paper takes a look at the Han Dynasty, focusing specifically on the tombs of the time, especially the Mawangdui tomb. According to the paper, cave like tombs were as important to the Chinese as the Pyramids were to ancient Egyptians. Imperial Chinese families were buried in the royal tombs, along with many items necessary for a happy life after death. The paper discusses how the Han Dynasty created some of the most remarkable Chinese burial tombs, and created the great trade route known as the Silk Road, which greatly aided China and Asia in world trade.
From the Paper
"Two of the tombs contained numerous fragments and entire pieces of silk material, which are some of the first silk remnants found in China. Cang's wife was found wrapped in eighteen layers of fine silk, while there were numerous silk manuscripts found in all the tombs. The excavation is the oldest known in China, and so indicates the first silk findings in the country's history. They indicate early silk was exceptionally light, delicate, and beautiful, but under the right conditions, it survived thousands of years. Most people associate silk with garments and even home decor, but the finds in the Mawangdui indicate silk had another very important use in preserving Chinese culture. Scholars used silk as a writing medium, and bound the delicate silk pages into books. Over 30 of these books were unearthed in the Mawangdui tombs, and they indicate the level of learning and scholarly discourse during the zenith of the Han Dynasty. Archaeologists also found maps painted on silk, and silk T-shaped wall hangings depicting life and culture during the Han Dynasty (Doar). Thus, the Mawangdui tombs represent one of the most important excavations in Chinese history, especially when it comes to the significance of silk in the culture and society."

Abstract
The paper looks at several sources, including first-hand accounts of survivors, to discover what were the events that led to the rescue of some passengers when the majority did not survive the sinking ship. The writer brings in several theories from the rescue of women and children only to the inability of non-English speakers to understand the full scope of the impending tragedy.
From the Paper
"On 10 April 1912, the American-owned British-operated White Star liner Titanic departed from the Irish port of Queenstown on her maiden voyage. She carried approximately 2,228 passengers and crew, including 1,697 men (12 years of age and older) and 528 women and children (Geller 8). Four days later, on April 14, 1912, the Titanic sank two hours and 40 minutes after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic (Geller 8). Titanic was built in a period of history called the Edwardian Era in Britain, La Belle Epoque in France and the Gilded Age in America (Geller 13). The period was characterized by the Industrial Revolution, which helped fuel a change in the traditional society."

Richardson?s ?Pamela? and Fielding?s ?Bridget Jones?s Diary?, 2004.
This paper explains that Samuel Richardson?s ?Pamela?, written more than 200 years before Helen Fielding?s ?Bridget Jones?s Diary?, yields surprising parallels.
770 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 27.95

Abstract
This paper discusses that both ?saucy? women tell their stories through journals. The author believes that, though Bridget Jones is described as a thirty-something singleton in London, she clearly does not equal Pamela in emotional maturity. The paper contends that, whereas Bridget Jones is ostensibly free to make choices regarding her job and the men she dates and sleeps with, Pamela appears to have no choice but to submit.
From the Paper
"Richardson thus tackles many themes that would have been shocking to many residents of 18th century England. As Pamela herself chronicles her emotional growth, much of her musings stray into the erotic. Initially, she wonders how ?Love borders so much on Hate.? Eventually, she wonders at her growing attraction to Mr. B, and despairs over her inability to hate her brutish captor. Because she does not love Mr. B at first, there is a clear undercurrent of sexual conflict and eroticism to many of her writings."

From the Paper
Anasazi is one of the most important early cultures in North America and left a legacy for many of the tribes of the Southwest, including the Pueblo Indians of today. The Anasazi developed a widespread culture with roads, commerce, trade, and a number of industries.
The Anasazi culture was the social order of the people who occupied the Four Corners area of the American southwest during the area between approximately 200 B.C. and 1300 A.D. These people were designated the Anasazi by archaeologist Alfred V. Kidder in 1936, a word taken from the Navajo language. it is taken to mean "the old ones" or "the ancient ones" and is clearly not the term these people used for themselves. A more recent interpretation of the word is that it means "enemy ancestors," a reasonable point of view given the cultural aversion of the..."

Abstract
This paper details the steady increase in the world's population in the last 100 years and explains how the advancement of modern medicine has allowed people to survive longer with cheaper, effective treatment. It explains that it is not just the West who can enjoy these benefits, many poorer countries have improved and more accessible healthcare, resulting in longer lifespan and improved reproduction.
From the Paper
"This steady population growth has dramatic consequences on the world, some good, and some bad. The benefits of having more people on the planet means that there is a greater pool of labour, and we can see that it benefits big companies such as Nike who set up sweat shops in countries in Asia and Africa and who exploit the large number of unemployed people. But one of the biggest criticisms of having a large population is the environmental impact it has on the planet, having more people in the world leads to more demand of resources, some of which are depleting rapidly."

Chaos In Colombia: La Violencia, 2008.
This paper describes a period in the history of the country of Colombia from 1948 to 1958 called La Violencia, which took over 200,000 lives.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, on April 9, 1948, in Columbia, the Liberal presidential candidate, Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, was assassinated, which is believed to have triggered the ensuing violent era known as La Violencia. The author points out that the La Violencia era was an extremely complex event involving both partisan political rivalry and hostile guerrillas throughout Colombia except for the southern portion and parts of the Caribbean Coast. The paper relates that, in 1958, the creation of the National Front ended the fighting between the political parties, but Colombia still to this day is fighting with the armed peasants and guerrillas. The paper concludes that the primary cause of this long, horrific period of internal chaos was the refusal of consecutive governments to listen to the people's demands for social and economic change due to the partisan political rivalry.
From the Paper
"The tension started in 1946 when, Conservative Mariano Ospina Perez assumed office and was in charge of the difficult task of ruling from a minority position, since the Liberals controlled Congress. Ospina tried including Liberals into the government.6 In the meantime, the amount of political arguments were increasing in the countryside. The Conservatives thought the answer was what they had always believed to be the answer, violence. Liberals and their movements were led by the leadership of Jorge Eliecer Gaitan. He demanded that Ospina should deal with the important social needs of the developing nation."

Abstract
A look at various studies on the environment and preservation which have been performed over the past two centuries. This paper looks at how certain items were considered safe and environmentally friendly fifty years ago and how today they are considered to be cancer-causing. The question is asked whether future studies will disprove what has been discovered today.
From the Paper
"The earth has been around for millions of years. It would be an understatement to say that the earth?s environment has gone through many changes since its crude beginnings. The earth is in a state of continual change, species come and go, land forms rise and disappear, even the composition of the atmosphere changes over time. Man?s influence on the environment is a relatively modern one by earth?s standards, yet in our short time here, we have changed the environment more than any other species has in the past. It would be an act of arrogance for human beings to say that they truly understand all of the complexities of the earth?s environment. We only recently started studying the environment and in particular, our effects upon it, during the last two hundred years. We have a long way to go in understanding the complexities of the earth?s environment."

The Moche, 2008.
Looks extensively at the ancient civilization of the Moche, from northern Peru, which existed between 200 BC and AD 700.
4,765 words (approx. 19.1 pages), 20 sources, APA, $ 122.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that archaeologists have traced the human occupation by the Moche of the valleys of the Peruvian coastal plain from the end of the Pleistocene through the development of settled village farming communities and the subsequent rise and fall of civilizations, which took place prior to the arrival of Europeans in the sixteenth century. The author points out that the ability to have control over some forms of production of valued goods and services gave the Moche social status and control. The paper describes the economic, social, family, religious, political and artistic components of the society of the ancient Moche.
From the Paper
"Throughout the centuries, the Moche sociopolitical structure developed into an increasingly complex form. In its first years, it was most likely a multifaceted chiefdom organization. This structure was maintained through a sophisticated ritual system run by a prestigious group of priests who, as time continued, based their power on administrators and warriors supporting rulers that controlled vast territories. Moche social organization most likely reached the level of a theocratic state in its peak."
