...When one looks at the life of Theodore Roosevelt, what explicit details can be gathered about him? Due to the multifaceted conglomeration of diversity that was Roosevelt’s extraordinary life, it can be quite hard to determine who exactly our 26th president was. Roosevelt took on many roles throughout his life. “Parachin” (2011) found, “America’s 26th President (1901-09) was a curious blend of cowboy, author, intellectual, environmentalist, outdoorsman, big game hunter, naturalist, peacemaker and war monger” (p. 13). These many roles would lead him on a very thought-provoking adventure through life. Out of all the things that Roosevelt was throughout his life, he was the embodiment of someone that fought for the things he wanted in life. One can see that this quote by Roosevelt sums up who he was perfectly: “It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things” (Theodore Roosevelt Quotes, n.d.). Theodore Roosevelt was a strong believer in the “strenuous life”. Whether it be from his health, those around him, politics, or nature, Theodore Roosevelt dealt with many obstacles and challenges that would pose to be very arduous for him as he trotted his way through life. On the other hand, one must also look at Roosevelt’s successes and achievements. After a menial amount of time studying Roosevelt, anyone can appreciate the many things Roosevelt achieved throughout his life. Although Theodore Roosevelt’s life may have been...

...Theodore Roosevelt played a very important role in society in which he achieved many goals and helped our country become a better nation for the rights of the people. For a young man that started out quite sickly due to asthma and an extremely weak heart, he was such a determined individual that didn’t allow his weaknesses to interfere with reaching his goals and acquiring such great achievements for one man. Although Theodore Roosevelt grew up in a wealthy environment, he was able to associate with not only the rich but he somehow managed to befriend and gain the utmost confidence even from those that were not so privileged. That is one of many reasons why he would be admired even today due to not only his strength in character but also how he didn’t allow wealth to define him as a person. He was an extremely hard working individual and even with a man that had such disadvantages as far as his health, he managed to become one of the most influential and triumphant men of our country. Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27th, 1858 into a wealthy Dutch New York City family. There were four children in all, Anna, Theodore, Elliot and Corinne Roosevelt. Although he had a very wealthy childhood upbringing, he also had a series of health issues including being diagnosed at a young age with asthma and poor eyesight, but he did not let those things stop him from achieving his goals. He was a very hardworking man who believed he could do anything he set his mind to because...

...WR-123 Research Paper NOT ALL MONSTERS ARE MAKE BELIEVE - A CASE STUDY ON THEODORE R. BUNDY What causes someone to become a serial killer? Is there something inherently evil about them that emerge as they age, or are they born that way? Do they become that way because of their upbringing? Most Psychologists feel that it is a combination of all these things that determine the psychosis exhibited by serial killers. (www.psychology.org/links) Psychologists have looked into the darkest recesses of human behavior, to try to figure out how and why people commit such gruesome and brutal atrocities against their fellow human beings. One of the best cases of documented psychopathic behavior is that of Theodore R. Bundy. On November 24, 1946 Theodore Robert Cowell (aka Ted Bundy) was born. His mother was a single young woman who decided the best course of action was to move back home to have her parents help her raise her son; as in the 40’s it was not acceptable for a young single woman to have a child out of wedlock. Until the age of four, Ted believed that his mother was his older sister, and grandparents were his mother and father. (Rule, A: The Stranger Beside Me) The signs that something was dreadfully wrong with Ted began to show themselves very early in his childhood. When Ted was barely three years old, one of his Aunt’s stayed the night with the family. The Aunt woke up in the early morning hours to find her young nephew Ted, lifting her blankets...

...from perhaps the most famous insane character of all time, the Joker: “Madness, as you know, is like gravity... All it takes is a little push!” This very idea of insanity and how susceptible to madness the mind can be is a central theme throughout Charles Brockden Brown's Wieland. In the novel, one of the primary forces behind everyone's growing paranoia and dementia are a series of voices that literally cause the protagonist's brother, Theodore Wieland, to murder his wife and children. Of course the voices not only affect Theodore, but rather the entire community as a whole, namely the protagonist herself. Clara Wieland is just as easily prone to the insanity that overcomes her circle of friends and family. Many times throughout the novel, Clara demonstrates various qualities of irrationality, such as contemplating suicide and struggling to maintain grasp onto reality. While these are prime examples of madness within the novel, one's sanity that often goes unchecked is that of the perpetrator himself: Francis Carwin. Of course Clara and Theodore as well as their grand uncle, exhibit common signs of madness: Hallucination, Delusion, elevated mood and emotional liability. At first, signs suggest that Carwin wasn't subject to the same madness symptoms as the Wielands, but if the joker has taught us anything in his wacky and volatile shenanigans with the Batman, it is...

...play, the Sun was tired of revolving around the Earth and wanted to be still in the center of the solar system. As Cavalli-Sforza continued, he states that Copernicus reminded him of race and racism since “each population believes that it is the best in the world” (5). Not only racism, but the first chapter described the difference in blood types/groups that make each person different from the other but is also inherited. In the second chapter “A Walk in the Woods,” the use of fossil materials and how people are the same and of course the differences between each other was explained. Cavalli-Sforza agreed with Charles Darwin as they both thought of evolution in the term of trees which trace relationships with species and ancestors. Chapter three “Of Adam and Eve” reminded readers that Darwin was the first to announce that apes...

...Inaugural Address speech which was title “Who Is a Progressive?” (Witt, D.P., 1915-1968). The Progressive Party was mostly focus on the American Financial systems getting back together and making necessary modification. The progressive party back in 1912 was called the political party in the Unites States and it was created by a split with Republican Party. The split was created by Theodore Roosevelt when he lost the Republican nomination to the Office of President William Howard Taft and withdrew his delegation out of the entire conference (Mowry, 1946-1960).After that the party became popular as the Bull Moose party , and later the party symbolized and later Roosevelt showed off that he was Just as strong as a bull moose from the wild.

...which is an organization created to oppose the establishment of U.S colonies. Members of the league were extremely diverse, it ranged from Samuel Gompers to multi-millionaire Andrew Carnegie, Jane Adams and Mark Twain. They all agreed imperialism violated the countries founding principles of freedom and democracy. As the League once said “We hold that policy known as imperialism is hostile to Liberty… We insist that the subjugation of any people is ‘criminal aggression’ and open disloyalty to the distinctive principles of our Government.” On the other hand the supporters of the Treaty of Paris included many prominent political leaders, like President William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.

...The FBI started in 1908 from a group of special agents by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt and Bonaparte both were called "Progressives." They shared the conviction that efficiency and expertise, not political connections, should determine who could best serve in government. Theodore Roosevelt quickly appointed Bonaparte to be attorney general. In 1909, the Special Agents named FBI to Bureau of Investigation and then changed the name to Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935. When the FBI was established, there weren't an abundance of federal crimes, so they investigated violations of ranging from white slavery to antitrust crimes as well as neutrality violations. In June of 1910, the FBI grew larger because of the "Mann Act" (Made it a crime to transport women to other states for immoral reasons). The FBI could now prosecute people who tried to flee over states lines. Because of its continued worth and effectiveness, the FBI's number grew to over 300 special agents and 300 support employees over the next few years. It provided a tool by which the federal government could investigate criminals who evaded state laws but had no other federal violations. During World War I, the FBI was given the responsibility of investigating espionage, sabotage, sedition, and draft violations. In 1920, the gangster era began. This brought a new type of crime into play that had not been seen before. Criminals were kidnapping and robbing...

...Shah ARTH2394 Locheed February 17th 2014 Formal Analysis on The Great Oaks of Old Bas-Breau by Théodore Rousseau In 1824 John Constable exhibited some works of rural landscape paintings that inspired many young artists to forgo the formalities of art and draw directly from the source of nature rather than a dramatic event in history. The Barbizon School came about in existence due to artists’ rejecting the Royal Academy’s standards for art and tradition in an attempt to portray a truer reality of life with nature. Many of the artists came to the forests of Fontainebleau with loose brushstrokes, tonal qualities and softness of the subjects; they all had the same motif of creating works reflecting rural scenery. Rousseau was the most prominent member of the school and was an activist to protect the forest from deforestation. The Great Oaks of Old Bas-Breau was painted in 1864 on canvas with oil in Barbizon. The painting is exactly what the title says: great oak trees from the forest of Fontainebleau. With the bottom looking like an open field and the background of the oak trees, you will also notice a small figure in the lower right who seems to be a man with a walking stick on a trek through the forest. At the center of the painting there are three main oak trees that draw our attention. These are probably the oldest and most grandiose of the oak trees in the forest. These three are the only visible trees that don’t have gnarled and twisted branches. The walking stick gives...

...Americans were shocked in the 1970s when authorities began reporting a string of disappearances of young women from Washington, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Florida and Oregon. The man behind these crimes was Theodore (Ted) Bundy. Many people still consider him to be one of the most notorious serial killers of all time and was once one of the FBI’s most wanted. He was officially tied to 36 murders, however he is believed to have committed more than one hundred. The Ted Bundy murders shocked everyone because of his outwardly sociable appearance, politeness, and political aspirations. He was intelligent, good looking, and charismatic. Many of his victims did not fear him or question him because of how charming he was. He was one of those criminals that just “didn’t seem like bad guy”. Ted Bundy was born in 1946 to Elanor Cowell, a twenty-two year old unmarried woman. Since this was a scandal for her extremely religious family, Elanor gave birth at a home for unwed mothers and the baby was raised as the adopted sons of his grandparents. His mother was to be his sister. After a few years, his mother moved with Ted to Tacoma, Washington where she married Johnnie Bundy and had more children. They seemed to have a happy family home in a working class neighborhood. Around the age of three, Ted began to show a fascination for knives, which those around him just attributed to a sense of curiosity. Other than this, there were no other outward signs that Ted had any psychological issues. He did...
