World Health as an Economic Indicator Since World War II
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper which looks at the theories of renowned economist Charles P. Kindleberger in his book World Economic Primacy: 1500 to 1990. Kindleberger postulates that nations go through life cycles that are roughly similar to those of a single individual. First there is youth, then maturity, and then eventually there is aging; however, the life cycle of a nation ends in quiescence rather then death. As evidence of this, the writer examines world health as an economic indicator and concludes that this does tend to verify Kindleberger's hypothesis that the U.S. is in decline. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Integral Relationship Between Weaponry and Tactics in Warfare
[ send me this paper ]
An 8
page contention that there is an integral relationship between weaponry
and tactics. It is a relationship which is evidenced, in fact, time and
time again in history and one which impacts both the nature and conduct
of war. Some of the greatest tacticians of all time would have been
solely ineffective without a complementing weaponry. Likewise, the mere
possession of advanced weaponry has proven itself inadequate in a number
of military encounters. The author provides numerous examples with an
emphasis on the Napoleonic era and the utilization of artillery.

Though Thomas Jefferson, one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution asserted that each individual should have the unalienable right to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,' the creation of the American Constitution, based on the Federalist Papers and extending from the First and Second Constitutional Congresses, supported the continuation of caste divisions in the United States.
