Abstract
The paper discusses how Eleanor Roosevelt held moral, religious and political civil responsibilities pertaining to the rights of African Americans for equal opportunity in American society. The paper explains that by observing these aspects of ethical stance against racism, Roosevelt was able to help create the legal and civil foundations that would help give more rights to African Americans in the years after WWII. The paper portrays how in this manner, Roosevelt presents an ethical observance of the equal rights instilled within the concepts of the Bill of Rights, as well as the original application of these principles in the ideals of the Founding Fathers.
From the Paper
"This sociological study will examine the role of the First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt in regards to her racial policy while living in the White House. In this respect, Roosevelt presented a politically charged policy, which sought to create more integration for African Americans. In this manner, she raised the issues of racist "institutions" that had prevented equality of rights for minorities. In essence, Eleanor Roosevelt was a powerful example of racial reform in regards to the ruling elites of Washington through religious and political ethical principles. Eleanor Roosevelt was originally ignorant of the racial problems that existed in America before her husband's inauguration, due to her somewhat sheltered upbringing in upper class society. This form of society prevented her from truly seeing the racial disparities that existed within the institutionalized racism of the South."

Abstract
This paper examines how Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the most powerful and admired women in American history and how her difficult early life likely laid the groundwork for the immense caring and compassion that she showered on a variety of causes. It looks at how over the course of her life, she transformed herself from an orphaned young woman to an accomplished public figure and how despite many criticisms of her public and personal life, she ultimately became a role model for future First Ladies and many other American women.
From the Paper
"Eleanor Roosevelt was an outstanding example of a First Lady who used her status and power to affect change for other individuals. She was an outspoken advocate for women, children, and African American causes at a time when First Ladies were not expected to do anything other than play the role of a supportive and caring companion to their powerful husbands. In this way, Eleanor Roosevelt was a pioneer in showing America that a woman could be a powerful public presence on her own. While her association with Franklin was clearly important in her fame, she went well beyond that association in order to create a public presence of her own. Therefore she showed a generation of Americans that women could be influential and powerful players on the political and social stage."

Abstract
This paper discusses Eleanor Roosevelt?s personality, political achievements and her relationship with the mass media. The author gives examples of how she left her mark on the American society and culture.
From the Paper
"It is hard not to admire Eleanor Roosevelt even if we judge her by the standards of the 21st century in which we expect women to take their place in public life with assurance and intelligence. It is impossible not to admire her if we consider her accomplishments within the context of the decades bracketing World War II. She was one of the first women to make such an indelible mark on American society and culture. There are a number of reasons for her success ? including her intelligence, her moral and ethical commitment to social justice, her ability to work hard, her refusal to be discouraged. But one of the most important keys to her success was the deft way in which she handled and used the mass media (especially newspapers and radio) to help promote the causes that she believed to be most important as well as to create a sense of self. This paper examines her relationship with the mass media, how she used it, was shaped by it, helped to shape it ? and the legacy that she created for both the women who have come after her and the continuing ways in which the mass media have been affected by her work.

A liberal Democrat, Eleanor Roosevelt was very active during her years in the political spotlight. While in the White House, Eleanor Roosevelt had many issues that were important to her, including concern for young people, the poor, the unemployed, and racial equality. She was also involved in the women?s movement. After her years in the White House, Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated her time to humanitarian causes.

In addition, Eleanor was thrust into the highly public and stressful life of the First Lady after her husband was elected as President of the United States in 1932."

From the Paper
"The position of first lady in American society is not codified anywhere. There is no mention of it in the Constitution and no body of law related to it. The recent active participation of Hillary Rodham Clinton in the role has engendered considerable discussion and even opposition, yet she is hardly the first first lady to take an active role in either politics or government. Eleanor Roosevelt was also a very active first lady, and she was also subject to considerable criticism for her political role. She also had no more guidance than any other first lady as to what her role should be, and she shaped that role to her own liking to as great a degree as possible. An analysis of her background, her political life, and her relationship to the policies of the Roosevelt Administration will show how she managed to shape that role and what she contributed.."

Theodore Roosevelt's Social Darwinism and War, 2005.
A comparative analysis of the journal articles, "Theodore Roosevelt and the Implements of War," by Matthew Oyos, and "Theodore Roosevelt's Social Darwinism and Views on Imperialism," by David Burton.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, in the selected articles, both authors argue parallel, albeit different, views regarding Roosevelt. It looks at how Burton argues that Roosevelt had Darwinist views when it came to social reform in the world. In contrast, it shows how Oyos argues that a great, powerful, and prepared military is the cornerstone of a country's might and useful when spreading the foreign policy and how Roosevelt was the first president to think consistently about the link between military technology, national military power, and foreign policy.
From the Paper
"As President of the United States between 1901 and 1909, Theodore Roosevelt, while being one of the most ambitious political figures in American history, was also extremely influential, both culturally and socially, and reflected the times in which he lived as no other President. His political beliefs and attitudes, both progressive and conservative, shaped many domestic and international events which took place in the early 1890's and into the opening years of the 20th century."

Roosevelt, Churchill and World War II, 2002.
This paper discusses the different personalities of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill during WWII.
1,340 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that despite occasional disagreements, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill never lost sight of their ultimate goal of defeating the Axis powers. It shows how the two leaders were very different men. The paper presents many examples such as Churchill and Roosevelt?s personalities: Churchill?s approach to life?s challenges was one of confrontation, order and hierarchy; wherein, Roosevelt?s was one of evasion, competition and improvisation. The author believes that the most important difference between Churchill and Roosevelt during the war was their vision of the future of the colonial territories: Churchill retained an imperialist vision for the future of the empire and opposed independence for its members; Roosevelt saw the demise of European colonialism as inevitable.
From the Paper
"The friendship that developed between Churchill and Roosevelt was not without its difficulties, and it is important not to lose site of the fact that the primary responsibility of both men was to look after national interests. This inevitably led to tensions, which at times became quite pronounced. Serious differences arose, for example, over the question of when and where to open the second front in Europe, and a host of other issues, particularly with respect to economic matters. Furthermore, as the years passed and victory in Europe appeared more and more certain, Roosevelt began to cultivate a bilateral relationship with Stalin that wounded Churchill's pride and signaled the emergence of a bipolar postwar world, dominated not by the British Empire, but rather by the two new Super-Powers."

Wilson and Roosevelt's Approaches to Foreign Wars, 2006.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the comparable approaches in which Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson involved America in the foreign wars that were raging during their terms in office. Outwardly, both presidents spoke out against involvement in the wars and delayed declaring war on Germany until attacks had been made directly against the U.S., either on noncombatants, as in the German attack on the Lusitania, or on U.S. soil, as in the attack on Pearl Harbor. This well-researched paper details the evidence that proves that both leaders were supplying their future allies with munitions and supplies prior to declaring war. Another similarity cited in this paper includes the fact that both Roosevelt and Wilson had a strong belief that diplomacy and a group of nations, whether the League of Nations or the United Nations, were necessary to avoid future world conflicts. The writer of this paper also touches on the differences in the leadership styles of both presidents, for example: Unlike Wilson, Roosevelt displayed little outward patience in avoiding America's involvement in the war.
From the Paper
"While Wilson's public position is that he was doing everything in his power to avoid war, there is evidence supporting the speculation that Wilson was not actively trying to keep America out of the war. There is speculation that the Lusitania did not signal the beginning of American involvement in the war, but Germany's knowledge that the Lusitania was already involved in the war. There is some evidence that the Lusitania was destroyed by an internal explosion after being hit by an initial torpedo. Such an explosion could have occurred if the Lusitania was carrying munitions. If that was the case, it indicates that Wilson's public face about entering World War I differed from what was actually occurring. Even if Wilson was not arranging for passenger ships like the Lusitania to take arms to Britain, he was allowing passenger ships to continue to take both people and supplies to Britain, despite German threats that such ships would be subject to attack."
