Adolph Hitler, Pius IX, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill And Chiang Kai-Shek: Impact Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. When comparing the political and social impact of Adolph Hitler, Pius IX, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill and Chiang Kai-Shek, one can easily distinguish the line that exists between and among these varied leaders. To compare Hitler to Gandhi is to place a lion and a lamb in the same confined space and watch to see who comes out the victor. Pius IX, as well, represents misdirected authority, while Kai-Shek stands firm in an autocratic society. Churchill's political and social contributions lean toward the quest for complete abolition of tyrannical rule, with Hitler at the top of his list. The writer discusses how the impact each man has had upon the world as a whole has been nothing short of significant. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

America's Self-Made Man
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing just what the American Dream is. It has nearly always been measured in terms of wealth, but not necessarily in terms of dollars. The self-made man of Ben Franklin's time was not a success only in terms of money, but in terms of life. Money was the reward—not the goal. The American Dream is still alive, but it has been replaced in the eyes of many by a sham, by that counterfeit that says that money is the only true measure of the worth of a man. The pity is that money can be lost; character remains. Those with little character but great sums can completely lose themselves when the money is lost. Bibliography lists 1 source.
