"Another Part of the Fifties by Paul A. Carter reassesses the 1950s from an 1980s perspective. Carter establishes the fifties as a decade worthy of another look because this period has traditionally been slighted. The "anti-intellectual" (x) era is of particular interest to the author because the early part of the decade coincided with his graduate school years, and his first teaching appointment occurred during the remainder. He rejects the popular view among academicians that the Eisenhower years were an intellectual vacuum, preferring to consider them a vital decade, less "shallow" (xii), and possessing more integrity than-the eighties. Even though he acknowledges that his study is subjective, it is valid both as memoir and history.
In the author's words, Another Part of the Fifties is a kind of "overall synoptic work" (ix) in the manner of the American..."

Abstract
David Halberstam's "The Fifties" provides insight into a decade that many people consider nostalgic. This paper discusses the political tension associated with that time and the varying social issues. It looks at not only what was occurring in the White House, but what occurred in the lives of some of the most powerful men in the world before they made it to the White House. There is also an examination of the roots of the Cold War, 1950s weaponry and the physicists behind them.
From the Paper
"The 1950s were envisioned as a decade in which all Americans were slated for better lives, particularly after World War II. There was a sense of fulfillment in the lives of most people. The public became attached to the images of what Halberstam describes as perky wives, nice homes, and children who could attend good schools. At that time owning a home became the American dream. Most Americans could afford homes with only two years worth of salary. Ford brought the assembly line to America so people were able to afford cars in the United States, whereas in Europe manufacturers concentrated on creating cars for the wealthy."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at David Halberstam's book 'The Fifties'. The writer discusses this book as an insightful, realistic and entertaining look at the decade of the 1950s. The writer examines how Halberstam then goes on to describe all the types of social change occurring and all the events creating change. The writer notes that Halberstam combines all of these subjects into a thorough treatment that allows the reader to understand the changes taking place during the decade, while also gaining insight into major events and being entertained and educated about this important time in history. The writer concludes by mentioning that the positive features of the book combine to offer a read that is insightful, informative, engaging, and entertaining.
From the Paper
"One of the positive points about the book is that Halberstam does not offer an opinion on the events he is describing. In this way, it is not a book written to make any particular point or to argue on any of the issues described. Instead, it is an unbiased overview of the whole range of events that occurred during the decade. This makes the book one of relating historical events, rather than debating the meaning of those events. Considering the kinds of events described, it is fairly impressive that Halberstam manages to remain impartial throughout the book. It would have been easy for a lesser writer to include in the book their opinion on events like the development of the pill, the development of nuclear weapons, race integration in schools, or race relations and the impact of Martin Luther King. Instead, Halberstam always remains impartial and allows the reader to draw their own conclusions."

By the end of the decade, this company already boasted total annual sales of $157.7 million."

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of Paul's character in Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" by focusing on three of his attributes: 1) his tendency to be very self-oriented and separated from the others around him 2) his over-concern for all things that glitter and 3) his damaged psyche.
From the Paper
"In Willa Cather?s story ?Paul?s Case?, the character Paul embodied the Calvinist household in which he was raised in. Paul is a very self-oriented and introverted boy whose every action is designed and calculated to prevent others from seeing the real him. Paul is also a person who is overly concerned with money, wealth, and glamour; all which he believes will take him to the top and get him off Cordelia Street, which he despises with a passion. Paul is also under all of his mental armor, is scared, scarred and mentally damaged by his father and by his teachers so much that he can no longer go on living."

'The Fifties Woman' in Vonnegut's "Player Piano", 2000.
A look at Vonnegut's sci-fi novel, which, although supposed to be set in the future, would be considered politically incorrect for his portrayal of women.
950 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 1 source, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Vonnegut?s breezy style of writing, employing science fiction and fantasy, is intended to take place in a time beyond the 1950s. But, the underlying clues in Player Piano illustrate society?s treatment of women in the fifties. The separation of the men and women, as at The Meadows and the mainland, is a lingering theme throughout the novel. The men must go into the other room to do ?men things? and discuss important matters, while the women stay behind to exchange recipes and discuss interior decorating. If written today, the book would be blatantly sexist and politically incorrect. "

Messages from James and Paul, 2006.
This paper examines the different messages from James and Paul and Paul's ideas of resurrection.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the relatively short chapter of James, when compared to the longer writings of Paul to the Romans, appears to illustrate many dividing messages from the early church. The more prolific author, Paul, conveys a much more political agenda, speaking decisively regarding Jews, Gentiles and the Law, while James instead focuses on the importance of actions in faith, writing for "all God's people scattered over the whole world." The paper explains that as these two authors are writing for different audiences, they write with particular purposes. The paper discusses how the letter of James looks closely at specific practices of the Christian beliefs, illustrating how faith is meant to properly be put into action.

Pope John Paul II, 2005.
This paper reviews and examines the life of Pope John Paul II, as portrayed in Tad Szulc's "Pope John Paul II, The Biography."

Abstract
This paper explores the life and many achievements of the head of the Catholic church, Pope John Paul II. Author Tad Szulc argues in his book "Pope John Paul II, The Biography" that despite a seemingly difficult life and an even more unlikely rise to power, Pope John Paul II played a large role in the collapse of European communism. This paper also details many interesting revelations and historical facts of Pope John Paul II's life.
From the Paper
"Pope John Paul II has never deviated form the rigid principle he set forth with the start of his papacy. He will not stand for any public dissent within the church on matters of Catholic morality, ethics, faith and interpretation. He subsequently banned all controversial theological debates, citing the old Roman adage, causa finita est, meaning, when Rome speaks the matter is closed. Although his appointment seemed a harsh reality, John Paul none the less took up an almost opposite stance when it came to the poor and oppressed, becoming a powerful advocate for third world nations."

Paul and Trevor, 2002.
A comparison of the characters Paul (from the short story "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather) and Trevor ("The Destructors"by Graham Greene).

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at two short stories - "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather and "The Destructors" by Graham Greene - and examines the contrasts and similarities between two of the main characters, Trevor and Paul.
The paper shows how both characters are rebels, although the way they rebel differs. It discusses how Trevor's is a physical rebellion, brought on by peer pressure and a need to destroy. Paul, on the other hand, rebels from the inside by way of outlandish clothes and mannerisms - as if to separate himself from the constricted society he finds himself in.
From the Paper
"Another difference is that Paul lives in fantasies, but Trevor does not. Paul sees the people of Cordelia street as unworthy of what he imagines himself to be and behaves sarcastically towards them, especially his teachers. He wears unbecoming clothes and loses attention to show that he does not belong there. But his rebellion exacts a much higher price in his mind, because he has no power to alter society without forfeiting something of magnitude ? his liberty or his life. Trevor?s ambition is only for the day and does not involve his entire existence."

Paul, 2002.
A discussion of the apocalyptic views of the Apostle Paul.
1,379 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how the major difference between the Apostle Paul and the other apostles is that Paul had not known Jesus while he was on earth as the Son of God. It examines how Paul?s conversion occurred only after the Ascension and how this fact plays a prominent role in his teachings about Jesus and about the apocalypse. It discusses this aspect of Paul?s Christianity together with specific aspects of the apocalypse that Paul deals with in his writings. The three ages of the apocalypse as seen by Paul are also examined.
Outline
The End of the World (1 Cor. 15)
The Resurrection (1 Cor 15 continued)
The Restoration of the World (Romans 8)
The Coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4)
From the Paper
"First, the end of the world as depicted by Paul in his first epistle to the Corinthians (Chapter 15:20-28) is considered. This is a celebration of God, who will come and reign over everything and everyone. Secondly, and closely related to this is Paul?s view of the resurrection (1Cor15:20-28), during which the earth and human beings are made new to conform to the spiritual realm. Thirdly Paul?s description of the restoration of the world in Romans 8:18-25 is considered. Here the premise is the hope that every Christian lives in that the suffering experienced in the world will end in glory. Finally, the way in which Paul deals with the coming of Christ in his first epistle to the Thessalonians (Chapter 4:13-18) is considered. Here Paul continues the theme of hope in terms of being reunited with those who have passed away."

Abstract
This essay is in the form of a letter from the Apostle Matthew to Paul. The letter cogently outlines Matthew's points of disagreement with Paul on issues of doctrine, practice and adherence to the laws according to the Old Testament.
From the Paper
"Dear Paul,
"I have come upon your letter written to the people of Galatia and I am appalled that you take the laws of the Torah so lightly. You claim that you received a revelation from Jesus Christ and are; therefore, an apostle of Jesus. How then could you have misunderstood the reason for his existence here on earth? You have stated, "A man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ" and that "by observing the law no one will be justified." You are preaching this to Gentile Christians, telling them they are not required to obey the Law of Moses. You do this because you believe Jesus came to abolish the Jewish laws, while the opposite is true."

Outline:
Introduction
His Life
Significance of Paul
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Paul has often been credited with making sure that the Christian faith became a universal faith. While there were many important names in the bible who helped to create the foundational universal nature of the Christian faith, Paul traveled the world to do it and the fact that he had been a rabbi gave his word a significant amount of creditability during the process. "
"Another contributor to the great significance that Apostle Paul had when it came to the Christian faith was his writing ability. While many of the Lord's followers were able to produce speeches and talks that were guided by the Lord, Paul had an extremely talented writing ability. This was during a time in which educated people who could write well were highly regarded, respected and revered. Paul was one of those people so much so that even from his house arrest status and his time in jail he was able to write down the things that he wanted the world to know about the Christian faith and have it spread in that manner .

Abstract
This paper examines the character and presidency of Jimmy Carter. First, the author gives a background to the election. Then Carter's personal values and qualities are described. Some of the major events of Carter's tenure as president are presented. The author emphasizes Carter's strong religious convictions as being the basis for his morally-based leadership. This paper attempts to examine Carter's leadership not for what he accomplished while in office but rather for the man and his values. Several of Carter's books are cited, which deal with both foreign and domestic policy. The paper concludes with a biographical sketch of Carter's life and explanations for his failure to be re-elected.
From the Paper
" According to Hargrove, Carter was a personable but also a probing discussion leader, and that, in combination with his and his inner circle's independent reading, research, and reflections in private, combined, was how decisions were arrived at within Jimmy Carter's White House. On the other hand, perhaps in reaction to Watergate, Carter was neither well-practiced nor very interested in political maneuvering and was perhaps even (due, as Hargrove suggests, to his engineering background in the Naval Submarine Program under Hyman Rickover) too intently focused, and therefore lacking in sufficient peripheral vision."
