American Families & The Nostalgia Myth / The Way We Never Were
[ send me this paper ]
Focusing primarily upon the argument in Stephanie Coontz's (1992) book by same title, the writer of this 5 page paper presents the argument that each generation has looked upon the one previous to it and commented on how pure and innocent things were back in the proverbial "good ol' days." In actuality, however, morality was never as high in the past as we are led to believe. We are "brainwashed" by family-orientated television programs to believe that during the 50's and 60's, people were more "innocent" when in reality, juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, drug abuse, etc.;-- soared-- sometimes to levels much higher than today. This social phenomenon is explored in great detail. Bibliography also cites 2 additional sources.

American Foreign Policy after World War II
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses how the world political scene evolved in terms of
American globalist goals and objectives. As World War II came to
a conclusion, it was clear that alliances made in the time of war
would have little likely of surviving the stress of peace. For
those who formed their attitudes in the midst of the relatively
simplistic thinking of West equals good and East equals bad, or
Communism is evil and all people deserve capitalism, the
change in ideologies represented by globalization and
international partnerships have been staggering. Bibliography
lists 4 sources.
