Bush administration to establish new principles of foreign policy. Very different from the post World War I policies of Woodrow Wilson, the Bush Doctrine minimized the importance of diplomacy in favor of a “go it alone” attitude. This unilateral attitude alienated U.S. allies and enemies…

second election went by without a hitch. Not wanting to embarrass the president, there was no nomination to run against Monroe in the Democratic-Republican Party, considering there would only be a handful of votes. The Federalist Party, almost all abandoned, also had no one to elect nor endorse. This allowed for James Monroe and his current Vice-President Tompkins to run unopposed. Monroe says in his Second Inaugural Address, “I shall not attempt to describe the grateful emotions which the new…

discuss seer stones, and why do non-members find exceeding criticism in them? I hope to answer these questions in my analysis. I will also explore more of the history of the seer stone in church history, as well as some of the doctrine attached to the use of a seer stone. Doctrine and Covenants 28 was given in response to Hiram Page, who was receiving revelations by the aid of his own seer stone…

“Equality was a far more revolutionary aim than freedom, though it may not have seemed so at first.” I believe this concept, equality verses freedom, is the most challenging for humankind to recognize as we committee to valuing all people. Today, Doctrine and Covenants section 116 gives me the impression, to be a forward-looking document. This represented an important step in the church’s social and moral milieu. The challenge of racial segregation…

He was married to Elizabeth Monroe from 1786-1830. Together they had three children. Their first-born was Eliza Monroe. They had two more children after that, James Monroe and Maria Monroe.

which marked a period in the political history that reflected a sense of national purpose and unity. The two biggest factors that contributed to this period were James Monroe’s presidency and the ending of the Napoleonic wars. The presidency of James Monroe was marked by an economic upbringing, the separation between the Federalist and Republican party, and feelings of success after the victory in the War of 1812.

Where do these fruits and vegetables come from? Most people would answer “They are grown on a farm of course!” Which indeed is true, but thinking beyond that, most produce starts off as just a tiny seedling. So going back to the question… fruits and veggies come from seeds which are produced and distributed by agribusiness corporations like Monsanto. In their article ‘Why Does Monsanto Sue Farmers Who Save Seeds?’ Monsanto; one of the first agribusiness corporations, defends the company’s…
