Alexander The Great: Influence Of Greek Law
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Greek law evolved as a necessary means by which to regulate society's behavior. What had up until then been left up to the whims of each individual to handle on his own was now a product of fair and sensible legal procedure. Alexander the Great was the instrumental force behind the eventual cohesiveness that encompassed Greek Law. It can be argued that there was, indeed, a great need for such a show of order in that there existed no modicum of conformity when it came to retribution. As Greek law continued to be established, it also became an integral component of other areas of life, branching out into political and social implications. The writer discusses Alexander's influence of Greek Law. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Alexander The Great: Main Achievements
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Alexander the Great has been heralded all throughout history as one of Greece's most memorable and illustrious personalities; while he was instrumental in providing leadership for the Greeks, he was also a notorious murderer who utilized his authority to put many people to death. This aspect of Alexander's persona is not readily acknowledged by typical historical accounts; however, this was a side of him that was more than apparent. Indeed, Alexander was instrumental in doing much good for the Greeks while he was alive -- having taken the throne of Macedonia at age nineteen and leading his people to triumph -- yet it seems that lately his negative contributions appear to overshadow what good he brought to the people of Greece. The writer discusses Alexander's primary achievements, focusing upon his influence on Greek law. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

America: Shaped by Pre-history
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the ways in which the first to arrive in America between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago have served to shape today�s American civilization and national culture. The paper discusses the resolve that they certainly must have had in leaving everything known for everything unknown, then using in the new places only those things available to them in the new environment. Asian cultures are enigmatic in their reverence for their ancestors, and it remains a fact that Westerners often dismiss. Ancestry does direct the paths of the future, however. Our pre-history, Renaissance and colonial ancestry well serves the world�s only �mongrel� country, one made up of many ancestral strains, all of which have proven to represent magnificent stock. The paper also includes a discussion of American reaction to Pearl Harbor and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
