Abstract
This essay is an analysis on the life of Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengali who had a privileged upbringing in Britain, but who loved his native land. The essay describes Tagore as being primarily known as a multitalented artist - a novelist, essayist, philosopher, poet, Nobel Prize winner, song-writer and singer, playwright and actor. However, he was frequently distracted from artistic creativity due to his concerns about the realities and problems of life in India. This essay argues that to truly appreciate Tagore, it is necessary to go beyond his artistic oeuvre. Instead, it recognizes that Tagore also made an important contribution through his political message, and it argues that his anti-nationalism message is entirely relevant to important modern day problems.
From the Paper
"The non-literary achievements of Tagore may be seen as deriving primarily from his grasp of the poverty of the concept of nationalism. Quayum explains that Tagore perceived the poverty of the notion of nationalism, despite the fact that the notion attracts so many fervent followers. Crucially, Tagore saw that this notion grew out of 'the post-religious laboratory of industrial-capitalism' (Quayam 3), and its problems derive directly from this inauspicious origin. Reflecting this origin, nationalism is, in Tagore's words, an 'organization of politics and commerce' that brings 'harvests of wealth' due to the operation of greed, power and selfishness (Quayam 3). The problem is that nationalism on the one hand impoverishes our souls and cuts us off from our common humanity - and on the other hand, is the direct inspiration for much of the suffering in our world..."

Abstract
This paper takes a close historical look at the event surrounding WWII and how in turn, it caused the U.S. to sign the Lend-Lease Act of 1941 with Britain, thereby triggering America's involvement in the war and bringing America out of its "isolated" state.
From the Paper
"After World War I and up until 1941, the prevailing foreign policy in America was isolation. This meant that the U.S. generally avoided political intrigue and conflict from European alliances. For the most part, the U.S. stayed out of the balance of power politics that European countries engaged in. This did not mean, however, that the U.S. avoided political, trade, and cultural activities with Europe. America did indeed have bi-lateral agreements with some European countries. In examining America's entrance in 1941 into a Lend- Lease agreement with Britain, and later with Russia, one can see that these particular bi-lateral agreements led to America's complete involvement in WWII, as well as to the future internationalist foreign policy that would go on to dominate the twentieth century. To understand how America came to the Lend-Lease agreements and why, it is important to understand the world's state of affairs prior to that point."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history and the events surrounding Rudolf Hess's daring flight to Scotland in May 1941 and how it turned out to have been a fool's errand, which was probably made possible by a combination of Nazi ignorance and British guile. It provides a brief biography of Hess' life and military career and the purpose of his flight, to help negotiate peace terms between England and Germany under which Germany could pursue unhindered its war aims in Eastern Europe and Russia. It evaluates the surrounding controversy that came to light after the war that the British explanation of Hess's journey was false and how Hess was actually hoodwinked by the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) into making the flight.

Hess's Background
Preparations and Inspiration for the Flight
Was Hess's Flight Authorized by Hitler?
Subsequent Disclosures
British Motives
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Hess was a skilled aviator. In 1934, he won a hazardous air race around the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak. He flew unaided to the right destination in Scotland a ME-100, a fighter plane which was provided to him by its designer, Professor Willi Messerschmidt, in late 1940. According to most accounts, Hess took as many as 20 practice flights to familiarize himself with the plane. According to Kilzer, Hitler's personal pilot, Hans Bauer, accompanied Hess on some of the flights (p. 266). On at least two occasions, January 11, 1941 and March 18, 1941, Hess flew toward the North Sea only to turn back because of failure of an aileron or the weather (pp. 207-210). Before the last two flights, he gave his adjutant, Karl-Heinz Pintsch a secret letter for Hitler."

Abstract
The paper reviews the book "The Approaching Fury: Voices of the Storm, 1820-1861" by Oates. The writer finds the strong personalities speaking in their own voices to be an effective mechanism for conveying understanding of the issues and feelings leading up to the American Civil War, going back to the Missouri Crisis of 1819 under President Thomas Jefferson. The writer concludes that Oates proves that war was inevitable back then, but that the problems which led up to the war have still not been resolved today.
Contents:
The Personalities
The Crisis of the 1850s
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It seems that Oates starts with Thomas Jefferson because Jefferson is so upset over the Missouri crisis of 1819 to 1820. It was the first crisis over the territorial issue of slavery, and it was a that issue that ultimately leads to the Civil War. Jefferson looks into the future and he actually sees the Civil War and he says "It's going to be like a tornado." And he's the first to look into the future and see that this territorial issue and the issue of slavery is going to blow the nation apart. Jefferson's sense of forboding that the country is taking a fateful turn with the controversy over Missouri and slavery in the territories knows there will be no turning back. Jefferson gets so passionate., and he see the "approaching fury.

Abstract
This paper examines author Robert McElvaine's book "The Great Depression: America 1929-1941," which centers on two specific economic movements: Progressivism and the New Deal. Progressivism was, in effect, an expansive ideal about what the U.S. should be to its own citizens and to the impending globalization. The New Deal was a desirable strategy for most Americans to combat the effects of the Depression. This paper details the similarities of both movements which favored the ideas and ideals of American values. The writer also compares the present status of the U.S. government and economy to that of the depression era.

The New Deal

Works Cited
From the Paper
"Both movements favored the ideas and ideals of some sort of American values. Just as the progressives movement was founded not only with both moral and economic values as guide posts, and saw World War I as "the last and greatest example of the progressive spirit of sacrifice, so the New Deal began with individuals having to (mostly gladly) sacrifice some of their individualism for government-run and controlled works and policies determined to avoid sinking further into an economic sinkhole. We can also see similarities in the fact that the values and the eventual legislation formed a trickle-down philosophy, from the upper middle and upper classes to benefit the less-fortunate. We have to remember that President Wilson as well as FDR were "patricians"- in the best sense of the word, and their aim was to protect the citizens of this nation from war and from economic disaster, even if it meant a sacrifice and even an attempt to undo the Constitutional balance of power."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Genre is essentially a narrative framework and can be analyzed by breaking down this construct in terms of its fundamental structural components of: plot, character, setting, thematics and style. Each genre film has a buy-in with the audience, as the film must play by the rules of what the participants expect. As a result because society is constantly evolving so is the genre formula so its elements are identifiable and the audience feels a commitment to the film. Borde and Chaumeton explain, "categories are formed discursively, through a process of metaphoric association that creates networks of relationships" (xiv). It is because genre uses iconography or the "process of narrative and visual coding that results from the repetition of a popular film story" (Schatz 22) that genre becomes common within the human experience. In this way subconsciously the audience picks up on cues to communicate which genre such as Western, Slapstick or Gangster is being presented."

Abstract

Outline:
Short Description of Shaw's Work
Impressions Upon the Viewer
Specific Details: Form, Content, Medium and Theme Form
Conclusions
From the Paper
"With watercolor paints, Shaw used brushes that held more water than the brushes used for oil or acrylic paint. With these brushes, the artist was able to paint a wide variety of lines and shapes, creating the desired effects quicker than with regular brushes.
Shaw created his own paints based on oil components by grounding and mixing pigments into a medium oil. He mostly used these paints on canvas, but also on wooden panel or pressed wood. On creating a painting in oil, Shaw first thoroughly prepared the surface. Then, he would apply a ground to isolate the surface from the acidic qualities of the paint, continue by developing a sketch of the main features in the painting and only afterwards apply the oil paints."

From the Paper
"This study will provide a book review of Lloyd C. Gardner's "Approaching Vietnam: From World War II Through Dienbienphu, 1941-1954".
The book begins with a statement from Dean Acheson in 1954 in which the Secretary of State expresses his bewilderment about the purpose and effects of the role of the French in Indochina, which in that year was coming to an end in the disaster of Dienbienphu. Acheson's statement might just as easily have been made twenty years later after the United States had experienced two decades of its own disasters in Vietnam. However, just because historians and politicians and the public are still struggling with the meaning of the Vietnam War does not mean that the involvement of the imperial powers of the West was without ideological foundations. The problem, as Gardner makes..."

Growth of Southern nationalism 1830-1860 has to be placed in the context of the transformation of American society and political economy as a whole and in the South in particular.
