.... hunger for more, in addition to the messenger’s statement that the Lord has commanded Assyria to go and destroy Jerusalem, my feelings of fear and doubt would uncontrollably well up inside me. We are, after all, only human, and fear is a common feeling, despite where we stand with God. No man lives without fear, but though fear our faith is tested and strengthened. Upon hearing and experiencing the truth of Isaiah’s claim that God will spare Jerusalem and force the Assyrians back home, my faith in God would be fortified. In the times of fear, I would have realized how wea .....

.... the situations of different territories such as Cuba, Hawaii, and the Philippines around 1900. When intervening in these different areas of the world, the United States (supposedly) planned to idealize by imposing their civilized ways of society and religion on these crude populations of foreign people. This idealizing by the U.S. would also involve introducing American politics into the troubled environments. The "ideal" politics happened to follow the form of the United States government; a setting where "liberty and justice for all" would help to create a more civilized world. Ideal .....

.... place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented the first "digital calculating machine". It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by turning dials. It was designed to help Pascal's father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32).In the early 1800s, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could store up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Built in to his machine were operations that included everything a modern general-purpose computer would need.

.... to follow in his or her path through life. Buddha wanted to be known as someone who taught others kindness and wellness, he never wanted to be a god like others did in different religions. He just wanted to be known as a man who transformed himself, and in turn set out to transform others. In there are several basic beliefs to be learned and followed. These beliefs are from past experiences that Buddha went through in his life and now teaches to others. I will list the major points and then give a brief explanation of what each means. 1.

.... were backed by groups such as the CIA, the Pentagon and US backed international aid organizations like USAID. Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton both focussed constantly upon short range goals such as winning the election in 1993 and they were willing to sacrifice long term interests in the pursuit of these goals. The US would be far better served by a democratic, stable and prosperous Haiti than one that is mired in civil unrest and abject poverty. This was not the first time the US had attempted to impress its will upon the tiny nation and undoubtably it will not be the last. Th .....

.... after sputnik was launched, Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin went into earth orbit edging out the United States' chance to put the first man in space. It was on April 14, 1961 two days after the Soviets put the first man in space, when President John F.

NASA, established on October 1, 1958, had the historical job of putting an American on the moon. It was on May 25, 1961 when Kennedy finally made public his commitment "to land an American saf .....

.... There was no way that African-Americans were going to support a war that not only needlessly harmed citizens, but also put a damper on there own fight for justice. Just a few years before the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the CIA had failed miserably with their attempted invasion of the Bay of Pigs. The government’s need to lie can be summed up by Victor Zorza in his Washington Post Article of November 1965: “In psychological warfare… the intelligence agencies of the democratic countries suffer from the grave disadvantage that in attempting to damage the adversary they must a .....

.... farmer to use for crops to feed his family and try to make a living. The Salvadoran government began to take away the opportunities many of the poor had to live on. This lead to a migration out of El Salvador and into Mexico and the United States; however, this still left a large number of unhappy Salvadorans who were still in El Salvador.

The landowners wanted more land and the poor Salvadorans wanted land themselve .....
