From the Paper
"Epstein was not a social worker; he was an economist, but he definitely was an influence on the development of social work. My interest in Epstein grew from the current controversy over Social Security. When I did a little research on the history of the program, it became evident how crucial his efforts were toward bringing that singularly successful social program into existence. Most people who go into social work want to help people who cannot help themselves, and Epstein, although not a social worker, did just that. He worked to remove old people from poverty and to give them some semblance of security in their old age. Epstein is an inspiration for anyone who wants to make the world a better place."

Abstract
This paper explains that all three Abrahamic religions--Judaism, Christianity and Islam--feature a core belief in only one God and believe that they may experience God firsthand through prayer, meditation and faith. The author points out that only Christianity suggests it is possible for God to take human form, as in Jesus Christ. The paper relates that, within Judaism but less so in Islam and Christianity, God intervenes directly in earthly human affairs such as expelling Adam and Eve, placing a mark on Cain's head and instructing Noah to build an ark before the flood.
From the Paper
"Many sections of the Old Testament reaffirm monotheism. In Exodus 31-33, Moses leaves Mount Sinai with tablets containing the Ten Commandments, to find that in his absence, Aaron has allowed creation of a molten (golden) calf, a pagan idol. In response, Moses smites those who do not worship only God (only the sons of Levi are left), then returns to Mount Sinai to ask God's forgiveness of his people's sins. On Mount Sinai, God forgives all but those who have gone against Him (Exodus 32). Here, the individual worshipper (Moses) asks for personal forgiveness from God, and a chance to atone personally, and on behalf of his people, for past sins, just as Jews still do today once a year on the Day of Atonement."

The Life and Times of Abraham Maslow, 2002.

Abstract
This paper introduces Abraham Maslow, the American psychologist and philosopher who is best known today for his self-actualization theory of psychology, which argued that the primary goal of psychotherapy should be the integration of the self. It provides an overview of Abraham Maslow's life and his major works, followed by a discussion of the times in which he lived and practiced. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Maslow's thinking was refreshingly original for his time; by contrast, most other psychologists before him had been concerned with the abnormal and the ill. Maslow, on the other hand, sought to know what constituted positive mental health. In his book, Toward a Psychology of Being (1968), Maslow says that he believes that humans are not in fact evil, but rather evil behaviors are the result of ?neutral? or even ?positively good? natures reacting out of frustration. It was from this context that humanistic psychology gave rise to several different therapies, all guided by the idea that people possess the inner resources for growth and healing and that the point of therapy is to help remove obstacles to individuals' achieving this. The most famous of these was client-centered therapy developed by Carl Rogers, who believed even more firmly in the inherent goodness of people than Maslow."

Abraham Lincoln: Man and Myth, 2002.

Abstract
Stephen Oates, in his book "Abraham Lincoln: The Man Behind the Myths", believes the grandiose dimensions and symbol-building power of the myths people create reveal their deepest longings. The paper discusses Oates' argument that this is especially true of the myths Americans have created about Abraham Lincoln, the powerful figure who presided over the country's greatest trial, the Civil War. The paper shows that Oates' book argues that rather than reflect any actual truths about Lincoln the man and President, the American mythology surrounding Lincoln reflects the spiritual and psychological needs of America's culture. The paper looks at other portrayals of Lincoln as a mythological figure in American literature, such as in the poetry of Walt Whitman.
From the Paper
"Oates argues that mythology carries a different truth than that of historical truth. In the case of Abraham Lincoln, the myth is what Americans wish the man had been rather than what he really was. The Lincoln myth has imbued him with the traits Americans consider their most noble, among them honesty, tolerance, a work ethic, forgiveness, compassion, a clear-sighted vision of right and wrong, and a dedication to God and country (Oates 16). Thus, Oates maintains, the mythological Lincoln "carries the torch of the American dream, a dream of noble idealism, of self-sacrifice and common humanity, of liberty and equality for all" (Oates 16)."

Forced into Glory : Abraham Lincoln's White Dream, 2001.
This paper looks at the book by Lerone Bennett "Forced into Glory : Abraham Lincoln's White Dream".

Abstract
In his book "Forced into Glory : Abraham Lincoln's White Dream", Lerone Bennett claims that the glorification of Lincoln by Americans is not totally justified. He claims that Lincoln himself was a racist. In making these statements, an overall study of the issue of racism vs. slavery is discussed in a historical context.
From the paper:
"Lerone Bennett?s book Forced into Glory : Abraham Lincoln's White Dream is designed to make any reader rethink all of her or his preconceptions about Lincoln. American schoolchildren are taught that Lincoln was the savior of our nation, a man so motivated by the highest of ideals in terms of both guaranteeing the continuing union of our states and ending slavery that he willingly put himself into deadly peril.
Bennett suggests that this is not quite an accurate picture, and indeed in some measure he must be right. No one is perfectly self sacrificing, no one perfectly good, no one perfectly wise. Lincoln was flawed as any great man. He was not, however, perhaps as flawed as Bennett makes him out to be."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the poem "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Specifically, the paper compares and contrasts Abraham Lincoln with Richard Cory in the poem. According to the paper, these are two very different men, but they share some common elements.
From the Paper
"Why did Richard Cory kill himself? The poem does not really answer this, but the poet insinuates that Cory seems to have everything, but it is not enough to make him happy. He is "rich as a king," but that is not the only thing that matters in life, as this poem shows. Happiness comes from contentment and satisfaction with your life and what you do. It seems that Lincoln was probably happy. He was doing an important job, and he had a family that loved him. He never had a lot of money, but he seems as if he was content with his life. In this, he was different than Cory. He would not have chosen to end his life the way Cory did, because he was content, and because he had important responsibilities. Maybe Cory was unhappy because his life was empty, and he did not have important responsibilities, and that would be a big difference between Cory and Lincoln. Lincoln was a success and he worked hard. Cory did not have to work, and he did not seem to have anything to motivate him or make him proud. Lincoln did, and so he had a reason for living, while Cory did not."

Abraham Lincoln: A President Under Fire, 2001.
A look at the problems faced by Abraham Lincoln, first American President.
2,529 words (approx. 10.1 pages), 8 sources, APA, £ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper goes over the challenges that Abraham Lincoln faced during his presidency, as well as the sources of these challenges. Topics covered include the various elements of the Civil War Crisis, his suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, his issuing of the emancipation proclamation, and many others. This is an in-depth analysis of Lincoln's presidency, from several points of view.
From the Paper
"Today, it seems unfathomable that Abraham Lincoln be considered anything besides a great war leader and one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States of America. While he was in office, however, many Americans, both from the North and the South did not share this opinion. During his presidency, Lincoln acquired many enemies and made a number of decisions that made him a target of great hostility. No matter what measures Lincoln took, ultimately, he was criticized. If he leaned one way, he would be chastised by one group, and if he leaned the other way, harsh words would reign down upon him from another sector of society. Basically, Lincoln found himself in a no win situation."

Abraham Lincoln and Leo Tolstoy, 2006.
An analysis of the psychology of famous historical figures, Abraham Lincoln and Leo Tolstoy.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the actions, decisions, and words great men and women are intimately related to the psychology of these individuals. The paper proposes that by analyzing the lives of these individuals--their writings, biographies, actions, and what other people had to say about them--it may be possible to reconstruct some of the basic psychological underpinnings that characterize the great figures of world history. The paper firstly examines the psychology of Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States during the Civil War, and then analyzes Leo Tolstoy, the Russian author. The writer proposes that while at first we might expect that the only thing these two could share in common was a common lifespan in the 19th century, it becomes evident that the psychological natures of these men shared many character traits.
From the Paper
"Interestingly enough, Abraham Lincoln is not the only important historical figure that possessed this internal conflict of self-doubt and conflict between internal psychology and action. Though he lived half a world away and was born an aristocrat in Russian society, the psychological conflict and development of Leo Tolstoy bears some striking similarities to that of Abraham Lincoln. As mentioned, Tolstoy was born an aristocrat of the highest order in Russian society. The early death of his parents combined with his social status kept him largely isolated from other people during his development as an adolescent and young man."
