.... to man. Political economy came into prominence in the 19th century, in the era of philosophies post kantian disintegration, and no one rose to check its premises or to challenge its base. Political economist-including the advocates of capitalism-defined their sciences as the study of management or direction or organization or manipulation of “community’s” or nations resources. The author goes on to say that the European culture regarded material productions as work that should be done by slaves or serfs but not first class citizens. It must be remembered that the institution of private property, in the full, legal meaning of the term, was brought into .....

.... commercialism, is now a large gift giving elf by the name of Santa Claus. But in this day and age, where anyone can record anything he or she wants to, will any of the present day lords and prophets shine as brightly through the shroud of mythology and time as the ones of old? In 500 years - providing anyone is still alive to care - a few men and women will stand out against the haze of time and represent the twentieth century. If there is a group, among them will be at least man involved in World War II. Roosevelt, Churchill, Tojo and Hitler -especially Hitler - are all candidates for the group because of their involvements in the bloodiest w .....

.... the hosts of the former rulers to infect the "people's" revolutionary. China had a Nationalist government. The government was a one party dictatorship. Opposed to the Nationalists was the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This was because the CCP was given no say in the governing of the country. In addition, because the Nationalists' leader, Chiang Kai-Shek, had the CCP forced from membership in the ruling body. Before they were completely wiped out, the CCP took to the rural areas of the country where they rallied peasant support. The Nationalist party had severely limits to its power because of this opposition and Japanese aggression. Chiang was const .....

.... in 1939. The name of this camp was Auschwitz. It was in what is now south central Poland. This was thought of as the main camp, and held about 10,000 prisoners at a time. The purpose of these camps was to execute genocide. Auschwitz is known as the holocaust symbol. At least one-third of the 5-6 million Jews killed died in Auschwitz. Another large camp was built called Birkenau, also known as Auschwitz II. This camp had four gas chambers and four crematoria within it. Soon after the construction of this camp, about 40 smaller, satellite camps were established. Altogether they were known as Auschwitz III. Inside the camp resembled jail. Auschwitz was in the gene .....

.... and the systematic extermination of innumerable populations of Jews. One of the keys to the relative successes of Hitler's extermination plans was that few people escaped the horrors at the end of the death march, and so there were only a handful of people who were able to actually substantiate claims of mass extermination that took place at camps like Auschwitz, and even fewer who could fan the flames of resistance by retelling the horrific stories of what occurred to those who followed. Some theorists argue that if the Jews had not been exposed to the kind of Nazi propaganda that was utilized as a control measure through out the early part of .....

.... Ensuing the Civil War, the economic growth in the nation was astounding. But this only came about after much hardship in certain areas. The war caused wide-scale economic destruction to the South. The Confederate states lost about two-thirds of their wealth during the war. The loss of slave property throughout emancipation accounted for a lot of this, but the economic foundation of the South was also severely damaged in other ways. Railroads and industries in the South were in shambles. More than half of the farm machinery was destroyed and forty percent of all the livestock had been killed. In contrast, the Northern economy thrived during the war. Dur .....

.... of the Aztec Empire and the conquistadors occurred when Motecuhzoma and Cortes met face to face for the first time. The Spaniards as well as the Aztecs had no clue what to expect. Motecuhzoma told Cortes, “Our lord, you are weary. The journey has tired you, but now you have arrived on earth… to sit on your throne, under its canopy.” This was due to the fact that the Aztec religion told of a god, Quetzalcoatl, who would come from the heavens and take his place as ruler of the Aztec Empire. Thus Motecuhzoma showered the Spaniards with many fine gifts. Unlike the Spaniards believed, these fine gifts were not really a sign of Aztec submiss .....

.... users to share and download music mp3 files, which are of near CD quality, from each other’s hard drives. This infringed copyright laws and provided a very real threat to both musicians and record companies alike. In response Napster was sued by the American heavy metal band Metallica, and then taken to court by The Recording Industry Association of America; where they were subsequently ordered to cease operating. Despite this verdict, many similar companies such as Grokster and Kazaa continue to offer file-sharing facilities and provide free access to copyrighted music. There are numerous arguments originating from all sides of the debate. Many of thes .....
