Bill Gates and Microsoft: Background, Developments and Controversy
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing Bill Gates: history, controversy and Microsoft. Bill Gates, the co-founder and current chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft has received a great deal of controversy and criticism over the last several decades in regards to his company and practices. Early criticism was circulated by his competitors that the software developed for the highly successful Windows operating system was based on that of Apple computers. The software industry has always been considered on a slightly different plane than that of the computer hardware industry as many people and computer programmers believe that the ownership of software has always been considered much more venerable than that of hardware. Nevertheless, the success of Microsoft software has given the company 90 percent of the current market which has resulted in an antitrust and monopoly case over the last three years. But despite the fact that the case has taken a toll on the profits of Microsoft, which still reach $9 billion each year, Gates continues in his determination to develop new ground breaking software and continues to have a hands-on involvement in all projects. It is because of this tenacity in the development of software, that regardless of controversy and court rulings, Gates would have made Microsoft a success regardless of any hindrances.

Black Elk Speaks
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper which discusses the book "Black Elk Speaks: Being
the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux," translated and published by John
Neihardt, and argues that it is a tale of how the his tribe, and perhaps all Native American
Tribes, lost much of what was precious to them. We examine the fact that the death of
their power and way of life could have been caused by the arrival of the White man, but
that it could also have been for reasons unknown as of yet, which is, in many ways, what
Black Elk seems to be saying. The White man, therefor, was only a tool that helped
destroy the way of life and the power of the Native peoples. No additional sources cited.

Book Review of Gandhi: A Life by Yogesh Chadha
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page book review of Gandhi: A Life by Yogesh Chadha (1997). Gandhis peaceful process was integral in the negotiations of the independence of India and while his methods may have seemed against many of the traditions of the Hindus, his acceptance of other religions and Western ways paved the way for a new and independent India. While Chadha used historical methods to relate the biography of Gandhi and tries to strip away several myths about the saint, he at the same time shows how Gandhi in his open, accepting and non-violent resistance was able to unite the Indian people toward a new independence even at the cost of his own life.

Booker T. Washington/Up From Slavery

A 5 page essay that discusses and analyzes Booker T. Washington's autobiography.
