Reconstruction
Essays

Abstract America underwent massive technological expansion and industrialization between the years 1865 and 1920. This completely transformed people’s ways of life, and brought about a social and economic revolution. Machines began to be used in production, and people shifted from home-based agricultural to industrial positions. This text examines how the social, economic, and political aspects of the average citizen’s life changed, as a result of industrialization during this period.

International foreign aid has been a fact of life since the end of World War II. Initially devised by multiple nations to help countries recuperate from the ravages of war, foreign aid was also developed by single nations to serve their ulterior motives. Through outright aid, investments, loans and grants, India has received foreign aid for decades. Though this aid initially kept India dependent and compromised, Indian leadership managed to build on that aid, create organizations concerned with India’s internal development and eventually give India greater independence and power. War and peace have proven to be double-edged swords regarding foreign aid, helping yet also hindering India’s interests. Fortunately, foreign aid has assisted India in reducing poverty and war, though neither evil is completely eliminated.

Since the Spanish American War, the United States move from relative isolation into an active international role motivated by strategic interests, by the need to protect and open new markets for its products, services and capital, and to defend and promote American values, including human rights, democratic values and market economies. The consequences are that the American society becomes more open to the outside world and that this openness implies important changes for the US society, such as the changes following the war in Vietnam.

The works of Mark Twain and Paul Lawrence Dunbar helped to remind America of racial inequalities during the time period during and right after Reconstruction when the country was attempting to forget the ills of slavery. Therefore, there was a deliberate misinterpretation of the literature these men put out. It was a shame.

Despite Haiti's profound economic difficulties both before and after the earthquake, a number of recent initiatives have been undertaken to revitalize the Haitian economy from within, effectively 'playing to Haiti's…

The bipartisan structure which defines the American system of democratic governance is premised on the notion that informed voters, when provided with an opportunity to select their own leadership, will invariably alternate between candidates with whom they identify closely, and members of the opposing party who offer meaningful reform. This maxim of American politics has resulted in a pattern of Presidential ascendency whereby neither party has captured the White House in three consecutive elections since the four consecutive campaign victories notched by Franklin Delano Roosevelt more than a half-century ago. Nonetheless, there are still pockets of provincial loyalty which still exist throughout the national electorate, with family histories and cultural touchstones serving to elevate one party above its competition in the hearts and minds of voters. In the second congressional district of Tennessee – an area which spans the metropolitan borders of Knoxville, as well as the surrounding suburbs of Farragut, Maryville and Powell – this curious phenomenon of local politics has become engrained in the societal structure, forming a continuous chain of leadership from the district's current representative to his Republican predecessors in 1855. With the election of John James "Jimmy" Duncan, Jr. (R-Knoxville) in 1988 – and his successful reelection every two years afterward to this day – the second congressional district of Tennessee has maintained a steady state of Republican representation for more than 150 years. However, this unbroken line of succession has not been mirrored in Tennessee's delegation of U.S. Senators throughout the years, as current Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) is just the third GOP member to represent Tennessee in the Senate during the last 100 years. The following analysis of Tennessee's electoral machinations, both on the Congressional and Senatorial level, is intended to examine the array of sociocultural factors which have contributed to the state's decidedly conservative political leaning.

Americans generally think that they are one of the most free nations in the world regardless of whether their thoughts are the truth or illusory. These thoughts are fueled by the consideration of freedom as a…

This research article presents the methodological construct, observable results and wider implications of an experimental inquiry conducted to test a phenomenon known as retrieval-enhanced suggestibility (RES). Coined to describe the counterintuitive trend of eyewitness suggestibility increasing after repeated retrieval attempts, here the concept of RES was tested using a four-part experimental structure designed to examine the link between multiple retrieval attempts and witness suggestibility to the presentation of subsequent misinformation. The research team constructed four spate experimental designs to test three variables: number of initial tests conducted (0, 1, 3, 5, and 6 across the various experiments), delay separating the initial and final tests (i.e., 30 min or 1 week), and presence of testing manipulation (i.e., nontested vs. tested) occurring between or within subjects. As the first published study on RES to integrate both the between- and within-subjects design, this article presents an abundance of previously unreported information on memory retrieval and witness suggestibility, ultimately concluding across all four experimental designs that repeated testing of memory increased eyewitness suggestibility to later presentation of misinformation.
