Abstract
This paper studies the sexual revolution of the 1960s, which laid the groundwork for changes that were to influence fundamental ideas about intimate behavior in the late 20th century. Yet, while delivering the message of "sexual freedom," the Revolution failed to address specifically homosexual concerns, and thus failed to include a whole portion of the sexually active population of America. The author also studies the simultaneous political organizing of the gay and lesbian communities in America and Australia. The paper conclude that the rights of gays and lesbians were not protected until the 1970s, when laws began to change.
From the Paper
"The organizations had their roots in the 1950s, when Senator Joseph McCarthy carried out the most famous modern witch-hunt in America. McCarthy strove to persecute homosexuals since many of the gay civil rights' founders were formerly Communist radicals - notably Harry Hay, who was a Communist Party leader of 20 years and who made the first call for a gay civil rights movement in 1948. [Heidendry, 103] In response to the climate of persecution, in 1950 Hay founded the "Mattachine Society" in Los Angeles, and in 1953 W. Dorr Legg founded "One, Inc." Both these groups were determined to "aid in the social integration and rehabilitation of the sexual variant" - fancy parlance for making homosexuality acceptable in the eyes of most Americans. [ibid, 103] In 1955, the first lesbian activist group, "the Daughters of Bilitis," was founded in San Francisco by Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin. [ibid., 105] The FBI harassed all three groups and accused them of being communist fronts, while the Post Office was barred from circulating the literature of "One, Inc." by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. [ibid., 104]"

Abstract
The following paper examines the cultural transformation that gripped Western and particularly American society during the 1960s. Chiefly, the paper examines the iconoclasm of the decade, the reaction against the "military-industrial" establishment, and the changing sexual roles and attitudes of the period. In closing, the paper suggests that the decade was a testament to the vibrancy of American culture.
From the Paper
"More so than any other decade of the twentieth century, he 1960s changed Western European and American society. From a loosening of moral strictures to anti-war protests to a re-definition of how American young people saw themselves in relationship to their government, the decade ushered in a new age and a new youth movement. The following paper will argue that the Sixties (particularly in America) was characterized by a transformation in sexual behavior, family and race relationships, attitudes towards authority, ideals and values. It was not an economic or political revolution, per se, but a cultural one (a seismic shift in attitude above all else) that touched all areas of American life. "

From the Paper
"The French Revolution is known as one of the bloodiest revolutions in all of history, it claimed the lives of thousands of Frenchmen. The question that remains to be answered is, what was the cause for all this carnage?? It was during the years of 1789-1795 that turmoil arose and an outcry came from France, and in place of one of the oldest civilizations stood a new one filled with uncertainty, and the need to reform and build what remained of France. To reflect upon the reasons as to why such a revolution occurred, one must focus upon the main aspects troubling the country and it?s people at this time."

Abstract
This essay traces the sociological attitudes of the American colonists throughout the pre-revolutionary period, as well as the American Revolution itself. Included are the reactions to British injustices such as the stamp act, sugar act, and quartering act, as well as more general trends in the thinking of the colonists. The paper also examines the way the colonists used John Locke's ideas to justify their actions. In addition, it traces how some colonial newspapers looked at the crisis, and the influence they had. This paper is a comprehensive examination of the emotions and attitudes of the colonists that led to and spurred on the American revolution.
From the Paper
"The protection of private property was considered imperative by Locke, and he reasoned that tyranny originated from government invading the natural rights of man. Despite the fact that these views were originally established in a time period well before the revolutionary period was at hand, the colonists applied them very effectively to their own situation. A number of Locke?s other beliefs and ideologies were bought into by the colonists. His doctrine of the supreme power of legislature, by which he meant to suggest that the British Parliament would have power over the crown, was used by the colonists to justify the idea of implementing Colonial legislatures that would have powers over the crown."

Abstract
This paper explores the impact that the Industrial Revolution and the information revolution had on society. The paper considers not only how the Industrial Revolution affected the amount of work people do and the amount of goods produced, but also the type of goods produced and how the machine age virtually eliminated the uniqueness and aesthetic qualities of the products. The paper looks at how the Industrial Revolution eventually led to the Arts and Crafts Movement, modernism, rationalism, and other aesthetic philosophies. The paper then examines the impact that the information revolution has had on society. How the information revolution affected democracy, power, the concentration of wealth, production, and new postmodernist philosophies is discussed as well.
From the Paper
"It is difficult for anyone now alive to appreciate the radical changes that the Industrial Revolution brought to humanity. We imagine that we know what it was like before this shift in economics, in culture, in society: We think of farmers tilling fields and of their children piling hay into stacks for winter forage, or of trappers setting their snares for the soft-pelted animals of the forests, or of fishers casting their hand-woven and hand-knotted nets into the seas from the hand-sewn decks of ships. We imagine the hard physical work that nearly every person in society once had to do in the era before machines substituted their labor for ours ? and this exchange of human (and animal) labor for machine-driven labor is indeed one of the key elements of the Industrial Revolution."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ideology has played a central role in revolution with innovative social ideas and the vision of a new social order inspiring the revolution. Strong national feeling was a very important factor in the Mexican revolution. According to Vanderwood (204) the situation in Mexico was an authentic social revolution that tended between "authoritarian rule and the endeavor to give peasants and workers a meaningful voice in government". By the time of the Cold War, Americans began to "interpret Mexico's experience largely in terms of the Communist revolution in the former Soviet Union" (Vanderwood 204). During the Mexican Revolution, the individual who was similar to Lenin in influence and vision was Villa."

Although there were many supporters, there was also some opposition including Catherine Van Cortlandt. By looking at these previously mentioned names, one can determine that the Revolution was fought for economic reasons and a desire to end British tyranny."

Abstract
This paper explains that the French Revolution ignited new ideas regarding equality, justice, freedom and the very nature of social interaction; but, ironically, it was a dictator, Napoleon, who perpetuated and spread many of these ideas. The paper points out that the Napoleonic Code, the introduction of liberal ideas to Egypt, and the beginning of the drive for the unification of Italy were all things that resulted from ideas derived from the French Revolution that spread because of Napoleon and his rule. The author believes that the impact of the French Revolution and Napoleon?s dissemination of its ideas can be demonstrated by the fact that even after the defeat of Napoleon, none of the old European monarchies or regimes ever enjoyed the absolute power that they once held.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Napoleon is a tragic figure in that few have had so much and lost it all. From being the world?s most powerful man to becoming a lonely exile must have been a bitter pill to swallow. Napoleon?s life is also tragic in that so many people were fanatically loyal to him, yet his first love Josephine, was unfaithful to him and never provided the male heir that he so desperately wanted. But, the greater tragedy is the waste of Napoleon?s talents. True, he achieved monumental military accomplishments, but his conquests were ephemeral; they did not last. Universally recognized as one of the great military minds, Napoleon was equally talented as an administrator. If he had turned his attention to these pursuits, he could have done so much lasting good. He was also a man of contradictions. Vain, arrogant, and ambitious, he loved himself, but he was not afraid to recognize and praise ability in others. He was ruthless when necessary, but he does not seem to have been driven by hate as some later dictators were. All in all, he still fascinates us today."
