Abstract
The March First Movement saw many rallies staged in Korea during a two-month period in March 1919 for Korean independence. The Movement technically started on March 1, 1919, when 33 nationalist leaders declared the country's independence from Japan at a park in central Seoul. The declaration sparked protests by ordinary Koreans across the country. The Japanese colonialists oppressed the uprising by brutal force. Consequently, the March First movement failed to achieve its objective of Korean independence.

Abstract
The paper considers the chronological perspective of the march on Selma, Alabama in the context of the Civil Rights Movement and examines its influence at the time and for the future. The paper shows how the events that started with the first Selma march are essential in the history of the Civil Rights Movement because they resulted in the Voting Rights Act. The paper explains that this was a piece of legislation which increased, to a certain extent, the right of the African-American to go to the polls as well as the scope of democracy promoted by the US constitution.
From the Paper
"The Civil Rights movement raised one of the most stringent matters for the American society in the 20th century in particular. Indeed, the issue of the equality between men of different race and color was a crucial matter of the 19th century especially from the perspective of the slavery institution which created the visible differentiation between white and black individuals. However, as the Civil Movement began to emerge and develop resistance movements against the practice of segregation, soon the society came to be attracted in the discussions related to the need for equality and honest and fair treatment of all individuals, without regard to sex or color (Jenkins, 1997)."

Abstract
The women's suffrage movement began before March 4th, 1912 in London, but it was on that day that the world understood that suffrage was no women's tea-party discussion, it was now a violent rage against the male oppression of women that had been in evidence since God stripped Hagar of her son and turned her back to slavery. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the suffrage movement at the turn of the last century within the context of Victorian England and to demonstrate that the ability to participate in the political system was only the tip of an iceberg that would eventually lead to a woman holding the highest public office in Great Britain.

Abstract
The paper describes Sherman's vicious and destructive campaign to dismantle the forces of Confederate resistance along the 300 mile march to the sea. The paper shows how President Lincoln needed Sherman's march to be as effective and destructive as possible in order to dismantle the psychological and physical tie that kept the southern people and its army holding out against the Union forces. The paper illustrates the violence involved but concludes that Sherman's march was both militarily and psychologically necessary to bring about a close to the war.
Outline:
Introduction
The Need to Succeed
The March to the Sea
In Summary
From the Paper
"In September, 1864, when Atlanta fell into the hands of the Union's General William T. Sherman, the march to the coast, especially the last five miles of that march, would prove the most difficult faced by Sherman's Union forces during their 300 mile long march through the south. "Sherman's march," or the "march to the sea," which has become historically synonymous with a 300 mile path of death and mindless destruction inflicted upon the Confederate Army, southern civilians, and refugee-slaves by the advancing Union Army under the direction of General Sherman; was in fact not just a strategic victory, but a psychological victory for the Union Army, and served as a turning point in the American Civil War."

Abstract
This paper explains that, by the time of the Great Depression, paralytic poliomyelitis was one of the most feared diseases known, much as with AIDS today. The author points out that the success of the March of Dimes is greater than other health campaign, such as the Christmas Seals. The March of Dimes as a symbol was well-known and widely accepted as the mechanical means through which the public could support campaigns. The paper relates that, after the defeat of polio by the Salk vaccine, the March of Dimes was redirected to other health problems, such as stem cell research.
From the Paper
"Alarmed by decades of worsening polio epidemics and the devastating toll it was taking on America?s young people, Roosevelt, established the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis in January 1938, emphasizing the nationwide significance and non-partisan character of the polio crusade. Believing that the war on polio should be led and directed by one national body, yet, as a private organization without access to government funds, Roosevelt realized that a new approach to fundraising would be needed. It was clear that the Birthday Balls would be insufficient to finance the Foundation and its work, since they rarely raised more than a million dollars a year, with over half remaining in the communities in which it was raised and the rest applied to financing the Warm Springs operation."

Abstract
This paper examines how drumming historically has been used as a means of communication and how marching percussion has followed suit. It looks at how marching percussion has evolved in large part from the military drum lines of history; drummers were used during the Revolutionary War and Civil War to keep armies in line and to signal friends. It shows how the marching percussion has evolved from a simple group of military drummers to a group of civilian musicians that pound out orchestral quality music, still communicating to the public, whether in the form of a school?s cheer, a warrior?s status or cheer, or public message information.
From the Paper
"The marching percussion can now be found in schools, universities, organizations, federal establishments and still in the military. The formation of the marching percussion has changed from the simplistic 10 man line up of early military times. The most basic marching percussion section now has 5 areas that incorporate the following: snare drums, tenor drums, bass drums, cymbals and a ?pit? or area on the sideline with any other related musical fare (Rhythmspice, 1999). The equipment used in marching percussion has also changed with time. The heads of snare drums are typically bulletproof and made of very durable material that is durable, because the plastic head of old used to stretch and cause problems with sound quality (Rhythmspice, 1999)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how many attribute Mao Zedong's successes to the fact that he was a brilliant tactician who could turn defeat to failure, citing the Long March as a classic example. The paper argues, however, that Mao was indeed relentless, ruthless, and self-confident, but he was no miracle-worker. The paper reveals that on the contrary, when it came to the Long March, Mao was simply the right man in the right place at the right time, a classic example of how good luck can catapult a person to the centre of the historical stage.
From the Paper
"Few figures in history inspire quite such extreme reactions as Mao Zedong. Some people revere him, while others revile him as a mass murderer. Whatever your point of view, there can be no doubt that Mao was one of the most influential people of the 20th century. He was revered by millions of Chinese as a supreme hero, and sometimes referred to as "the red sun rising in the east." Without him, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Peoples' Republic of China would not have been the same, and the latter might not have existed at all. As has been said of him, although his origins were commonplace, his education episodic at best, and his talents arguably unexceptional, nevertheless "he possessed a relentless energy and a ruthless self-confidence that led him to become one of the world's most powerful rulers"."

Introduction
Fog of War
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This man was brilliant. He was supposed to be someone who could look at a problem and produce the best solution. If that was possible he would have surely advised against the wars that he helped improve."
"The one thing the film and the book do have in common is the repeated evidence that history will repeat itself.
McNamara went through World War II and presumably saw from that experience that war should be avoided at most costs, however, he was more than willing to advise during the Vietnam conflict."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the novel "The Adventures of Augie March," written by Saul Bellow. Specifically it discusses some of the characters in the novel and the ways they are depicted in the story. It then describes the author's preoccupation with the physically and mentally disabled characters populating the life of the main character, Augie.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, the flawed characters in this novel add to the rich texture and fabric of the work. Augie must learn lessons from these characters by learning how to overcome many of his own flaws. Augie does learn that life in American society is a struggle, but there is still happiness waiting to be found somewhere in all the chaos. Bellow's use of disability and distress helps define his major theme of overcoming obstacles and an individual's struggle with society. By using characters with disabilities, he enhances this theme by illustrating the unique struggle of individuals who are outside the norm of standard society."

Abstract
This paper examines Benito Mussolini's march on Rome not as an attempt to control Italy, but as an intelligently conceived plan which went virtually unscathed which proved to be the greatest victory in Mussolini?s political career.
From the Paper
"Benito Mussolini?s triumph of Italian Fascism had just begun in October of 1922 when he received a telegram from General Cittadini: ?His Majesty the King asks you to come immediately to Rome for he wishes to offer you the responsibility of forming a Ministry...?1 Previously to this offer, Benito Mussolini had created a party called the Partito Nazionale Fascista (that is, the Fascist party) which was meant to topple the weak Italian government and install a regime of militarism and anti-socialism. Mussolini?s followers and sympathizers were mostly young men who had fought in World War I. "

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the recent growth in various alternative media sources which are grabbing more and more viewers away from the usual televised and print media into more locally controlled information sources. This paper details how various activist websites have utilized the world wide web to further their respective causes in innovative ways. For example: MoveOn.org organized a "Virtual March on Washington" where over 400,000 people signed up to flood the offices of the White House and Congress with a barrage of telephone calls and e-mails with support for a peaceful resolution to the war in Iraq. The writer contends that mainstream media tends to frame issues narrowly and in simplistic terms to avoid any real popular momentum whereas on various websites there are virtually no limits as to what can or can not be stated. With its lack of governmental oversight and unlimited bandwidth, cyberspace is finding itself, more often the first choice of those who want fast, reliable information.
From the Paper
"The true power, however, of this young medium was displayed in all its might on February 16, 2003, when "people with an astonishing variety of backgrounds and viewpoints" came out to "the biggest anti-war demonstrations ever held... worldwide." Religious organizations, race rights groups, environmentalists, anti-globalists, and others came together like a collective of Venn diagrams, independent but connecting in parts to move toward a common cause. The set up was fascinating because there was no "leader", no single set of beliefs holding these protestors together. From an organizing standpoint this type of setup has some positives and negatives. Since there is no central leadership it becomes a beast with many heads, very difficult to kill. Also, since it's arranged on the local level, the individual groups can spend time gathering up just their core constitutes by focusing on their specific agenda."

Abstract
The paper discusses the problems faced by the second crusaders on their march to the Levant during the Second Crusade, and makes an assessment of how far these problems adversely affected the Crusade as a whole. Key issues discussed include the relationship with the Greeks, Crusader lack of knowledge of local conditions, lack of supplies and poor leadership on the part of Louis VII.
From the Paper
"Odo of Deuil describes an incident where Turks attacked the French army at Adalia, and the non combatants attracted the attention of Louis, who boldly went to defend them. He says of the Turks, 'they thrust and slashed, and the defenceless crowd fled or fell like sheep.' A prominent eastern source, John Kinnamos, also describes the crusader army as being like sheep 'flocks of sheep might vainly be reckoned in entire myriads if they suffered a single lion leaping at them.' The fact that western and eastern sources are agreed on the nature of the army supports the fact that the large numbers of non combatants had an adverse affect on the crusading army and caused considerable problems. This problem was not overcome, as the both the French and German army never managed to be rid of the non combatants. "

Ernest Hebert's "The Dogs of March", 2006.
A literary study examining the premise of working class life in Ernest Hebert's novel, "The Dogs of March".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how the basis of Ernest Hebert's "The Dogs of March" reveals how working class rural families live in the fictional town of Darby, New Hampshire. Howard Elman is representational in describing traditionally minded small towners that do not wish to become involved with outsiders. Howard does not always define the feelings of the whole town, but reflects Hebert's view of class struggle in a town like Darby.
From the Paper
"In many ways, the working class mentality of Howard Elman and his family represent the reality of the lower class. The clash of classes that arrive when Zoe Cutter moves into town reflect these attitudes of commonality and tradition within the town of Darby. In essence, the accuracy of Hebert's characterization of Elman and the culture of the town is accurate and reliable in regards to the class conflict that arises within this novel. Howard Elman is a typical New Hampshire native that does not believe in the outside world that exists beyond the borders of Darby."
