1937 Occupation Of Nanking: Historical Revisionism
[ send me this essay ]
14 pages in length. What if the inhumanity that took place at Nanking was recorded as being a much greater catastrophe than it actually was?

1984 Presidential Election Results
[ send me this essay ]
A 12 page paper discussing the presidential election of 1984. The term 'rhetoric' has come to carry a negative connotation that is the object only of scorn, while in the past it was a much-admired ability and art. To the chagrin of the Democratic Party, there could have been no better candidate than Ronald Reagan for the 1984 election. He has indeed earned his label of the 'great communicator,' and his personal character was found to be above reproach in a time that such things mattered more than perhaps they do today. Reagan was uniquely suited to the presidency at that time and in that climate. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

1998's Midterm Election
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper evaluating areas of nationwide Congressional and gubernatorial races in terms of debates, polls and the final results including the resulting state of balance of power in both the House and Senate. Elections held in years when there is no presidential election as well typically generate only mild interest on the part of the voters, and the elections of 1998 provided no surprises in that realm. One of the most heavily contested gubernatorial races was that of California, where not even the media was interested enough to broadcast all of the debates between candidates. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
