...smartest way to govern the people. In this case this is regarding Jefferson and Hamilton’s views. Both of their views differ majorly. From Jefferson’s view being rather uneducated and biased to having the people making all the decisions rather than laws being enforced; to Hamilton’s view showing his governing skills with educational background. They both debate their different viewpoints on the national bank, ruling by the rich, tariffs, etc. and to this day there is still an argument debating which viewpoint is best. From Jefferson’s belief, only the rich would be benefitted by a National Bank. That is not quite true, all people can benefit from a national bank. You are not required to have the actual amount of money in your bank account, this would be classified as a loan. A loan could be useful for any small business owners that are looking to promote their business or even to buy supplies required to sell a certain product. The money that you can get from your business will help you pay the loan back. The only way that this can in term affect you, would be that you borrowed money that you won’t ever be able to pay back. Resulting in a bank benefitting anyone that is willing to work to pay the money back to the bank....

...Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States. Before he was a president he was known as a one of the smartest americans in the world. He was raised in Virginia and had a very great education, when he went off to college he studied almost everything there was. With all this knowledge he was often seen to have a darker side that no one was able to figure out, this earned him the name “American Sphinx”. He was elected and became president in 1800, but before he was elected he had a little help from Hamilton who helped him win the election in the first place. Jefferson had a vision where America is full of small businesses and small farms, with a small government, but when he gets into office he sees this can’t really happen. Ater...

...Everyone knows the famous quote Thomas Jefferson argued: “All Men are Created Equal.” Do we judge this contradicting man for what he believed in despite the actions that were taken? Both authors Authors Douglas L. Wilson“ Jefferson and charcuterie issues” And Author Paul Finkelman “Jefferson and Slavery.” Give insight on how the felt about the situation. Thomas Jefferson claimed slaves should be taught to be free-man, independent, and acquire educational guidance. Yet Thomas Jefferson, was a sanctimonious person because he believed all men should be equal, but held African-Americans against their will. The Logical view regarding servitude and Thomas Jefferson is rather confusing. A person who wants the best for you, even though they cannot...

...I remember reading somewhere that, unlike most of the other Founding Fathers, Jefferson never kept a diary. Because of this and his tendency to stay quiet (which we know about from the writings of those who knew him), the personality of one of the greatest men of all time has been mostly lost to history. When I was told that I not only could, but had to write about whatever I wanted for a formal paper, I was (like almost everyone else in the class) excited. Not soon after, however, the task became more and more daunting. It occurred to me that I hadn’t actually written anything that either wasn’t about politics, or that I didn’t have a prompt for in a long time. I don’t keep a diary either; growing up with a brother in a three-room railroad...

...I try to draw an analogy with the process of reading application essays. The bad. Ninety percent of the applications I read contain what I call McEssays - usually five-paragraph essays that consist primarily of abstractions and unsupported generalization. They are technically correct in that they are organized and have the correct sentence structure and spelling, but they are boring. Sort of like a Big Mac. I have nothing against Big Macs, but the one I eat in Charlottesville is not going to be fundamentally different from the one I eat in Paris, Peoria or Palm Springs. I am not going to rave about the quality of a particular Big Mac. The same can be said about the generic essay. If an essay starts out: "I have been a member of the band and it has taught me leadership, perseverance and hard work," I can almost recite the rest of the essay without reading it. Each of the three middle paragraphs gives a bit of support to an abstraction, and the final paragraph restates what has already been said. A McEssay is not wrong, but it is not going to be a positive factor in the admission decision. It will not allow a student to stand out. A student who uses vague abstractions poured into a preset form will end up being interpreted as a vague series of abstractions. A student who uses cliché becomes, in effect, a cliché. If we are what we eat, we are also what we write. Not only does a preset form lead to a generic essay, so does a generic approach to what is perceived as the right topic...

...Endless Research 1. What are two alternate recipes for Senate Bean Soup? Senate bean soup is a standard item on the Senate restaurant’s daily menu. Although the origins of this culinary decree has been lost in antiquity, It is said that Senate bean soup has become a tradition based on a request of Senator Fred Dubois of Idaho who served in the Senate from 1901 to 1907 and sat as chairman of the committee that supervised the Senate Restaurant.

...Family Values Ward Cleaver he wasn’t. Danny Thomas? Forget it. Ozzie Nelson? Yeah, right. In the early 1970s, television audiences said goodbye to the goody-goody TV fathers that they had grown up with and witnessed the birth of a new kind of TV dad—a real dad. Gone were the distinguished, upper-class fathers with the pipes and sweaters with the leather patches on the elbow—the guys who gently sat their children down and explained to them in a calm voice that the kids had messed something up and then gently gave them moral advice on how to fix the situation. Oh, yes, those men were gone. Enter the new guy: Archie Bunker. This dad was middle-aged and middle-class, he believed in family and country, and he feared everyone who was different from him. He yelled at the top of his lungs about anything and everything, and he showed his sensitive side only in the most serious of situations. Archie and family were introduced to America in 1971 by sitcom genius Norman Lear in a show called All in the Family, an American remake of the British hit Till Death Us do Part, which ran for ten seasons in England from 1965-1975. Initially, the show didn’t do well in the ratings. America’s response to the character who would become “America’s most loveable bigot” was outrage. Many wondered how CBS could air a show whose main character used words like “jungle bunny,” “jigaboo,” “fag,” “fairy,” “Mick,” “Spick,” “dumb Polack,” and “Hebe” on a regular basis. The audience was shocked...

...Running head: 20th-Century Genius Award 20th-Century Genius Award After hours of extensive research I have discovered an individual whose work and artistic contributions can be classified in both the Age of Modernism and the Age of Pluralism for the 20th Century Genius Award. I nominate American television writer and producer Norman Lear for the 20th-Century Genius award. Norman Lear has enjoyed a long career in television and film, and as a political and social activist and philanthropist. I be believe that his accomplishments were significant with the major changes that have happened around the world in the past 50 years or greater and will impact the world for many years to come. New Haven, Connecticut was the place of Norma Lear's birth. He was born on July 27, 1922, and attended Emerson College for over a year before deciding to drop out and fight in World War II. In 1945 he decided to leave the Army to pursue a career in comedy writing, but this later changed into screenwriting and producing for television. Lear's family was Jewish his parents, Herman and Jeanette Lear, had jobs in sales. At the age of 9 his father was sentenced to a three year prison sentence for fraud. While his father was incarcerated, his role models were his grandfather and his uncle. Lear's grandfather composed regular letters to the president on the different political issues . Lear later announced that his grandfather's political participation...

...Jefferson detested the concentrated cities and their filthy factories or workhouses that he observed in Europe. They spread disease and death while the agricultural life was healthier. Thomas Jefferson considered himself first and always a man of the land. He felt that “those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God….” Jefferson’s cohorts were mostly artisans, shopkeepers, frontier settlers, back country farmers and poor farmers. They were mostly ill-educated and illiterate. The majority of them were settled in the interior regions. Obviously, Jefferson himself was a plantation owner who was well-educated. Although people believe in different things it does not matter what you believe in. Spoke primarily for agricultural interests and values. They distrusted bankers, cared little for commerce and manufacturing, and believed that freedom and democracy flourished best in a rural society composed of self-sufficient farmers. They felt little need for a strong central government: in fact, they tended to see it as a potential source of oppression. There are many things people believe in, while others believe in something else. Hamilton’s great aim was more efficiently organization, whereas Jefferson once said, “I am not a friend to a very energetic government.” Hamilton feared anarchy and thought...

...Academic essay on Annie Proulx's "Job Story" Choices are something we all make. Not necessarily important choices, but there will always be a time to make them. It's not always good choices, but they have to be made. There will always be consequences, whether it's bad or good. Throughout the story, Leeland Lee has to make a lot of choices. Where to live, where to work and when to work. All the different choices he made, put him in the position he is now. Leeland Lee is an awkward-looking young boy. His face is heavily boned, which he has gotten from his mom, his neck is quite thick and he has red-gold hair. His eyes are as pouchy as a middle-aged alcoholic. His nose is broad and lays close to his face. Lori Bovee is Leeland Lee's wife. She has an undistinguished oval face, and hair of medium length. Leeland Lee is the protagonist of the story, because he is the main character. I would say Leeland is a flat and static character as he is an endless optimist. He doesn't give up when it comes to finding a new job, and despite his wife dying he still gets a job at Unique Eats. The reason he is a static character is because he doesn't change at all. After getting several different jobs he doesn't change anything, after his mom and wife dies he doesn't change one single thing except the fact he isn't listening to the radio anymore, but since that have been an important factor of the story all along, it can also show a lot about how he has changed. The story starts November...

Leeland does not look particularly good, in fact he is a very unattractive man; (page 91, line 12)“Leeland’s face shows heavy bones from his mother’s side. His neck is thick and his red-gold hair plastered down in bangs. Even as a child his eyes are as pouchy as those of a middle-age alcoholic, the brows rod-straight above wandering out-of-line eyes. His nose lies broad and close to his face, his mouth seems to have been cut with a single chisel blow into easy flesh” And in the top of that, we see how Leeland through his life, tries to find a successful career, but fails consistently. He moves various times from place to place, too seek occupation and good business. But it is hard when you’re a high school dropout, without a career.

...An essay is a piece of writing which is often written from an author's personal[->0] point of view[->1]. Essays can consist of a number of elements, including: literary criticism[->2], political manifestos[->3], learned arguments[->4], observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author. The definition of an essay is vague, overlapping with those of an article[->5] and a short story[->6]. Almost all modern essays are written in prose[->7], but works in verse[->8] have been dubbed essays (e.g. Alexander Pope[->9]'s An Essay on Criticism[->10] and An Essay on Man[->11]). While brevity usually defines an essay, voluminous works like John Locke[->12]'s An Essay Concerning Human Understanding[->13] and Thomas Malthus[->14]'s An Essay on the Principle of Population[->15] are counterexamples. In some countries (e.g., the United States and Canada), essays have become a major part of formal education[->16]. Secondary students are taught structured essay formats to improve their writing skills, and admission essays[->17] are often used by universities[->18] in selecting applicants and, in the humanities and social sciences, as a way of assessing the performance of students during final exams. The concept of an "essay" has been extended to other mediums beyond writing. A film essay is a movie that often incorporates documentary film making styles and which focuses more on the evolution of a theme or an idea.

...We all know love. We have all loved in some kind of way. We love our parents, significant others and even our friends. But we can also love other things like animals or material things. But what is the difference between loving and liking? And is it better not to love and feel pain or to love and be hurt in the progress? Jonathan Franzen seeks to answer these questions in his essay “Liking Is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts”. The essay “Liking Is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts” is, as mentioned, written by Jonathan Franzen and published in The New York Times, May 28, 2011. Jonathan Franzen is born in 1959, and he is an acclaimed American novelist and essayist. The essay is based on the commencement speech he delivered at Kenyon College in Ohio, USA. “Our technology has become extremely adept in creating products that correspond to our fantasy ideal of an erotic relationship, in which the beloved object asks for nothing and gives everything, instantly. (…)” As Franzen claims in his essay, many people can feel like they love their technological object. It gives them a satisfaction, which human interaction maybe wouldn’t. Franzen however thinks, that people in general don’t love material things: they like them. There is a major difference between loving and liking – even though it might appear small. “Liking, in general, is commercial culture’s substitute for loving.” Products are made to be likeable, but if that concept in transferred to a person, you would instantly see...
