Book Review of Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page book review discussing Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution”. Bernard Bailyn’s “The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution” (1967, 1992) shows readers the importance and influence of the “pamphleteers” during the time of the American Revolution. Previous to Bailyn’s publication in 1967, most historical accounts of the Revolution included political and economical theories used to explain the change in the population toward Revolution. Bailyn’s text however shows the importance of the political writings at the time which appeared in newspapers, pamphlets, booklets, letters and published speeches in addition to the original influences of writers and philosophers in an attempt to rid the colonies of the corruption which originated through their affiliation with the Crown. While Patriots were originally a minority in the population and considered as “radicals”, in a short space of only fifteen years, their writings managed to “enlighten a population”.

Boston Massacre
[ send me this paper ]
The Boston Massacre is one of those events that are covered in history class and in history textbooks in a sentence or two.

This 6 page paper argues that the Boston Massacre, while being a pivotal event in the confrontation between the British Empire and its colony in America, was not the brutish misuse of power that has been portrayed.

Brownsville, Brooklyn
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page book review that argues that Wendell Pritchett's goal in his text Brownsville, Brooklyn: Blacks, Jews and the Changing Face of the Ghetto-- a community study of a section of Brooklyn, New York known as Brownsville --is to provide a complete sociological profile of this neighborhood. Pritchett begins in the late nineteenth century and carries the history of the neighborhood forward to the present, addressing significant events. The principal point of Pritchett's analysis is found in the relationship, over time, between the faculties of human agency and bureaucratic public policymaking, as the residents of Brownsville's ever-changing populace endeavored to construct a sustainable community in the face of governmental ineptitude and misconceived urban policies. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Business and Economy in Oman
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the economy-building activities of one of the Gulf states. The Sultanate of Oman is a small country nearly equating in land mass to the US state of Kansas, bordering Saudi Arabia on the East. Sultan Qaboos bin Said determined shortly after coming to power in 1970 that Oman's best interests were not served by being fully dependent on oil for its national income. The Sultan stresses private sector development and self-reliance, encouraging the people to be self-sufficient so that the nation can be as well. The nation is fully open to foreign investment, development of local non-oil industry and privatization of public holdings. Noted for its traditions of fairness and political stability, Oman provides conditions favorable for both international and domestic economic development. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Business Effect of Russia's Lack of Infrastructure
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining the lack of information management infrastructure as a factor contributing to the vastly uneven growth of the economy before its financial collapse in 1998. Many individual businesses were well equipped with the technological standards of business today, but they were concentrated in only a few major industries. All other segments of the economy did not fully share that good fortune—not only was infrastructure lacking in many areas but where it did exist there often were no qualified technical personnel to manage them. Observers believe that Russia will fare much better when the economy grows again. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
