... changed from an isolationist country wary of “foreign entanglements” to a world power willing to take on and defeat Spain in the Spanish-American war. From a nation of small towns and cities and small farms, America became an industrial colossus, with ship-building, rails, steel mills and factories, with a rate of growth that began to attract laborers from around the world. This industrial miracle created huge fortunes, and the relatively equal wealth of the early 1800’s gave way to the fabulous wealth of the Rockefellers, Carnegies, and Vanderbilts. It fueled massive immigration, and changed the demography of the country from a predominately English to a mixed ...

... I would accompany her as a chaperone to social gatherings. In the absence of my father I would represent the family at various family and social functions. Maybe that is why I grew up or matured, if I may say so, much before any of my or for that matter any other teenager around me. If I were asked to assess my character and forces that are responsible for its structure I would repeat what I have already stated. Now after doing the self-analysis from the book I am sort of lost. I do not know or let’s say that I did not know how science would analyze me. Maybe, as the results showed, I am pragmatic, a self-monitor, a non-risk taker and maybe even a person who hates ...

Some reasons people might believe this is because the U.S. is made up of many different nationalities of people. Some ideas have come from these groups of people. These ideas may have been words or types of agriculture but these do not begin to relate to the true meaning of the melting pot theory. In today's society most ethnic groups have to become accustomed to an American way of life which means the English language. This is a problem because these people have to learn English to survive or they will not be able to succeed in America. This idea also holds true f ...

... one finds the joke funny, they laugh. This condition of happiness is the most temporary one, for it only lasts a moment. No one will be affected deeply into their emotions by a joke. It is more like a comical relief. Another way of happiness is when something good happens to someone. Maybe getting a good grade on a test or getting a raise at work. This kind of happiness usually comes from personal accomplishment. One will be happy if they know they did something good. They do not necessarily have to be rewarded to feel happy. For example, some people find happiness in just living a good life, a life of piety. Often, people may find happiness in the simplest ...
