Babe Ruth
... this new ball was tightly wound which made it much easier for more home runs and created more of an active game; this also was the year which Ruth's home runs increased from twenty-nine to fifty-nine, hitting a career total of 714. With an increase in the action of the game, the media coverage increased drastically as well, including both paper coverage and radio coverage. The idea of the home run was more of a new concept and with Ruth's improvement it became a symbol of The Babe. The idea of the home run also symbolized the creation of a strong willed nation and self-confident young men, enforcing the idea that innovations and expansion would constan ...

Authur Miller
... Since the debut of All My Sons he has noted: "The success of a play, especially one's first success, is somewhat like pushing against a door which is suddenly opened that was always securely shut until then. For myself, the experience was invigorating. It suddenly seemed that the audience was a mass of blood relations, and I sensed a warmth in the world that had not been there before. It made it possible to dream of daring more and risking more." He did however push the limits when he released his controversial piece Death of a Salesman. And, he gained even more acclaim. Soon he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. He was ...

... feelings. The people of Spain revolted in 1808. The
French troops stopped the riots, but the nationalistic spirit was not
lost. For the next five years there was warfare in Spain. British troops
came to aid Spain. This led to the defeat of Joseph, death of thousands
of French troops and it inspired patriots and nationalists of other lands
to resist Napoleon. This war between 1808 and 1813 is called The
Peninsular War.
In Germany, anti-French feelings broke out. But the French invasions
carried German nationalism beyond the small ranks of writers. In 1807
writers attacked French occupation of Germany. This nationalistic feeling
spread to the Prussians. In 1806 ...

Reinhold Niebuhr
... as a lecturer.
An outstanding, although not a systematic, theologian, Niebuhr was notable primarily for his examination of the interrelationships between religion, individuals, and modern society. Outside the field of theology, he took a keen interest in trade union and political affairs. He was an active member of the Socialist Party in the 1930s, waged a vigorous fight against isolationism and pacifism before and during World War II, and in 1944 helped to found the Liberal Party in New York State. He received the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964 and was made a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died on June 1, 1971.

Confucius
... solve universal problems. For example, you could eliminate
a problem in Olympia, Washington and Miami, Florida at the same time. Because of
their similar problems.
Another teaching of Confucius is to put aside military conquests and
focus on the good of the country. The US definitely needs to do this. Every day
on television we see poor, famined children persuading us to support their
struggle. Them commercials should be outlawed. The commercials should be on the
poor famined kids in the United States. We have our own poverty problem in our
country. We should take care of that before we solve another countries problem.
The U.S. has also money and military force in ...

William Wells Brown
... in which he was able to help many a fugitive to freedom. In the year of his escape, he married a former slave who was now free and had two daughters.
Profiting from school instruction and help from friends, he acquired considerable knowledge of the fundamentals of English. In the North he soon learned to speak the English language so fluently that he could easily present the claim of the Negro for freedom. During 1843-49, he was variously employed as a lecturer of the Western New York Anti-Slavery Society, and the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. In 1849, he visited England and represented the American Peace Society at the Peace Congress in Paris. Highly ...

Classical Economist - Adam Smith
... (defense, justice, certain public works), the state refrained from interfering with the economic life of a nation. Smith did not view favorably the motives of
merchants and businessmen. "People of the same trade," he wrote, "seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some
contrivance to raise prices." He suggested, however, that businessmen seeking their own interest are led "as if by an invisible hand" to promote the well-being of society.
Smith's Analysis of Economic Systems
This position is supported in the Wealth of Nations by an elaborate analysis of how economic systems ...

Isaac Newton And Albert Einstein
... at first sight. While Newton was discovering hypothesis and experimenting, so was Albert but he didn’t start until later. In collage Albert was considered lazy and stupid. Newton and Albert practically studied the same thing, but just at different times. Such as light and its colors, motion, science in general, space and the universe, gravity was a really big one. They also studied orbit and calculus. Einstein studied about being a teacher, electricity and how things worked. Newton studied telescopes, light and that the word of god is more important then chemistry.
Newton was excepted into the “society” and then he became the head of the “s ...

Carl Jung
... and also many
pigs get slaughtered. When he was eleven, he went to a school in Basel, met
many rich people and realized that he was poor, compared to them. He liked
to read very much outside of class and detested math and physical education
classes. Actually, gym class used to give him fainting spells (neurosis)
and his father worried that Jung wouldn't make a good living because of his
spells. After Carl found out about his father's concern, the faints
suddenly stopped, and Carl became much more studious.
He had to decide his profession. His choices included archeology,
history, medicine, and philosophy. He decided to go into medicine, partly
because of his grand ...
