Abstract
This paper explains that Lynch Laws and lynching activities lead to the death of tens of hundreds of black men, most of whom were completely innocent. The author points out that Wells used data published by the "Chicago Tribune" showing how many innocent people were lynched each year as a means to make authorities take notice of the atrocities that were being committed under the shelter of Lynch Law. The paper states that the anti-lynching campaign of Ida Wells occupies a very important place in our history because this crusade made people understand the issues connected with racial segregation and discrimination.
From the Paper
"She maintained that not all white women were raped; there had been cases in which white women actually had consensual sex with black men, as they liked their company. This was probably the most outrageous comment that anyone had ever made in favor of black men but Wells probably believed in attacking the attackers instead of defending the victims. This attacking approach did work as people started taking notice of the problems associated with Lynch Law. The greatest favor she did to the black race was that she brought forth some ugly incidents of lynching, which most newspapers never published. She presented many such cases in her famous pamphlets now available in book-form titled ?Southern Horrors and other writings: The anti-lynching campaign?."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the historical personage of Ida B. Wells as displayed through secondary and primary reports, with special attention given to the public and social interconnection of her political goals.
From the Paper
"In her early life, a more personal attenuation can perhaps be attributed to the life of Ida B. Wells in terms of the absence of her standing within political organizations, but she was still very concerned with social networks from a young age, and showed herself to be unflagging in her efforts to advance the cause of black women everywhere through her
own individual example. Wells became an orphan at a young age but remained dedicated to education, and when her family was split up after a Yellow Fever epidemic in Mississippi, she fought to retain control of her siblings and keep her family together by getting a teaching position. This shows that family and togetherness were important to Wells from an early age; she did not profess individualism and the conviction that she would be able to ?make it on her own? as an orphan, but instead struggled to keep her family network together by making personal sacrifices."

From the Paper
"The role of individual personalities in a social movement is often recorded in disproportion to the individual's achievement. Minorities have received short shrift in the past. Women in particular are apt to be slighted by historians who, until recently, were generally composed of educated white males viewing the past through a perspective that was sorely limited by lack of imagination and empathy. Needless to say, women of African-American heritage have been more likely lost in the shuffle of such opinion than white women and black men. As Arican-Americans in America moved from slavery to freedom, from segregated minority to still-being-attempted integration into the mainstream society, there has been a none-too-subtle discount of the black woman's accomplishments in the field of social reform. Nevertheless, there has been a strong spine of African-American ..."

Abstract
This paper examines the writings of H.G. Wells in an effort to demonstrate that, while Wells believed in progress and sought to understand and shape the future development of society in a progressive direction, he also had reservations about the human element and what it would be able to make of its scientific opportunities.
From the Paper
"Herbert George Wells was a major force in literature in his time and achieved a good deal in a number of different fields, showing himself to be a Renaissance man as he explored such topics as history, science, sociology, and philosophy in his works. Today, he is best known for his science fiction works, but even these represent a version of his interest in other subjects, notably various sociological concerns of the era as to what progress would mean into the next century and how human beings would fare in the developing scientific world. Wells was particularly concerned over themes that related to the evolution of society and to the ways in which society served the interests of the masses, or the ways in which society failed to serve those interests."

From the Paper
"The Wells Fargo Bank was started in 1852 in part as a consequence of the Gold Rush in California. The company started as a banking and express company and has developed into a major banking institution in the western United States. The company survived the period of banking shakedown in the 1980s during the savings and loan scandal and the various bank failures brought about by bad loans and bad management. Wells Fargo has encountered some problems, but it has been reorganized under new leadership and seems to have weathered the storm that destroyed many other institutions either by scuttling them outright or by making it necessary for them to merge in order to survive.
The Gold Rush started in California in 1848 near Sutter's Mill outside Colema, California, and thousands of people seeking riches in gold streamed into California in the next few years."

From the Paper
"This analysis examines various questions raised by the merger of Wells Fargo Bank with First Interstate Bank. It is argued that this merger may be the biggest bank merger in history, and is definitely the largest unsolicited bid. As such, the merger may have far-reaching implications for banking in general and particularly for customers of both banks. The major issues addressed in this discussion include: questions of compatibility between the two banks, consequences for the industry as a whole, impact of the merger at the community level, and potential affects for personnel, branches, and customers."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the big themes in H.G. Wells' "The Island of Doctor Moreau" which diametrically oppose each other: the theories of existence (i.e. evolution and religion), and the cruelty and need for dominion that man exhibits towards animals, and ultimately the question of the meaning of it all that Wells poses to his readers.
From the Paper
"Prendick's first encounter with the creatures of the island is when the ship rescues him. His impression of M'ling is that he is a "misshapen man", and although M'ling turns from Prendick with "animal swiftness", he still refers to him as a man. He considers M?ling a person with animal-like qualities, rather than the other way around. The captain of the ship is called a ?brute?. His drunken, hostile behavior towards all on-board is construed as beastly. Without provocation, he batters M'ling, who accepts the abuse and does not retaliate. His spirit has been broken like a whipped dog. Wells draws an image here of man against beast, with man being the aggressor, and the beast being the submissive party. Man?s attempt at controlling nature through violence and carnage is noted immediately. Ironically, the so-called less civilized creatures are more refined. M'ling conducts himself passively, while the captain behaves barbarously. The two species inter-relate, and the reader sees a bit of beast in the man, and some of man in the beast."
