Analysis of Neitzsche’s On the Use and Abuse of History for Life
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper analyzing Neitzsche’s view of the study of history. Neitzsche indicates that there is value in being able to be “unhistorical,” that is, being able to forget portions of history that do nothing to add value to the present, but he also states that the “super-historical” is the preferred state. This is the perspective that calls on art and religion to inform conclusions about past events and their applicability to the present time. It is one that considers more than only one narrow view of any point or time in history. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Article Comparison #3: Kerwin, Culhane Speck & Kelm
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Culhane Speck (1987) and Kelm (1999) both discuss how the natural selection afforded by widespread disease helped to aid European settlement by helping the white colonists eradicate what they viewed as an impediment to their progression as a race. The omnipotent superiority exuded by the white race, as each writer's passages clearly illustrates, set in motion a chain of events that even if the colonists knew in advance would occur, no preventive measures would have been taken. In effect, the diseases responsible for killing off indigenous peoples proved to be the final straw for these culturally compromised populations who were underfed, overworked and victimized by various abuses.

Articles of Confederation
