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.

Cold War Visual Images
[ send me this paper ]
The images of the Cold War Era were not of the cold war. The public media, magazines and movies, were portraying the affluence of and freedom of the American way of life, while the photographers that were taking meaningful photos, such as Diane Arbus, were not published until the paranoia of the McCarthy years had subsided. The only stark representation of the underlying fear that logically accompanies a threat of war of the magnitude suggested in the existence of the Cold War was the images coming from the world of fine art. There were many painters, sculptures and crafters within the genre of abstract expressionism that felt a need to portray the emotional atmosphere hidden in the hearts of the people. This 5 page paper examines the effect of the cold war mentality on the photographs that predominated the pages of Life magazine, the photos of Diane Arbus and the abstract expressionist painting, Study After Velasquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X by Francis Bacon. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page book review on “Out of the Cold: New Thinking for
American Foreign and Defense Policy in the 21st Century,” by Robert S. McNamara. This
was a book written very shortly before the end of the Cold War and as such presents a
very unique look into one man’s opinions about where the power struggle between East
