This made the small group of individuals in the government, but they were powerful to the point that they are…

Violence in America has a major impact on my life. The violence that takes place in my urban community on a daily basis makes it hard for me to enjoy my childhood. I have to be aware of my surroundings to make sure that I am safe. I do not like the idea of having to think about leaving the house and not making it back in. I can’t go outside, check the mail, or go to the store without a violent act being committed. Children can’t go outside and play in the front yard because people can’t handle…

In postwar Europe the opportunity to seize the nations of Eastern Central Europe was presented. Not necessarily by any fault of their own but because the great powers of Europe were not concerned with the sovereignty of the small nations of East Central Europe and allowed for their disregard. During this time of indifference the Soviet Union came in and asserted their power over the smaller nations in an attempt to Sovietize them. It is of vital importance that the reasons why, how, and to…

The gentry, which was the next class, also owned large pieces of land and could become members of the House of Commons, thereby providing a check and balance system. Being landowners they could vote and hold office. Many of the gentries were justices of the peace or sheriffs; consequently, they possessed political power. The next two lower classes were the yeomanry…
