Abstract
This paper examines how, in the selected articles, both authors argue parallel, albeit different, views regarding Roosevelt. It looks at how Burton argues that Roosevelt had Darwinist views when it came to social reform in the world. In contrast, it shows how Oyos argues that a great, powerful, and prepared military is the cornerstone of a country's might and useful when spreading the foreign policy and how Roosevelt was the first president to think consistently about the link between military technology, national military power, and foreign policy.
From the Paper
"As President of the United States between 1901 and 1909, Theodore Roosevelt, while being one of the most ambitious political figures in American history, was also extremely influential, both culturally and socially, and reflected the times in which he lived as no other President. His political beliefs and attitudes, both progressive and conservative, shaped many domestic and international events which took place in the early 1890's and into the opening years of the 20th century."

From the Paper
"What was demonstrated by Roosevelt here is that his military charisma made Wilson look as though he were not strong enough to lead the nation into war. In other words, the nation was ready to fight and Roosevelt represented a more true relation with the desires of the common man. The sub attacks by the Germans were considered as cowardly and barbaric which infuriated American citizens."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the life of the 26th President of the United States of America, Theodore Roosevelt. It explores the achievements and failures of this past US president, both as president and in his personal life.
From the Paper
"Although somewhat enchanted with teaching as a career, Theodore soon became a candidate for the 21st Assembly district and served in three sessions between 1882 and 1884. On October 27, 1880, he married Alice Hathaway Lee who died four years later following the birth of daughter Alice Lee. At twenty-six, Theodore became a delegate to the Chicago Republican National Convention and soon after wrote six more books, one being The Winning of the West in 1889. On December 2, 1886, he married Edith Kermit Carow and soon became a prominent supporter of Republican ideals.
In May of 1889, President Harrison made Roosevelt a civil service commissioner in Washington, where he learned the inner workings of the capital. His new political philosophy was then addressed in American Ideals and Other Essays (1897) and always maintained that his greatest wish as a politician was to "keep out the crooks in Washington and protect the competent and the common man" (Mowry, 78)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the real effect of the assassination of President McKinley. The paper examines how Theodore Roosevelt entered the White House after three decades during which Congress had consistently had the upper hand over the President. The paper further examines his many accomplishments, of which the Panama Canal is considered very important; and although Congress wasn't always on his side when it came to building the canal, Roosevelt used his charm, his brains, and his presidential power to push it through.
From the Paper
"On matters of foreign policy, Roosevelt was both aggressively expansionistic and cautiously temperate, depending on the situation. He was given to occasional bombast; according to an article in Naval History by James R. Homes, Roosevelt once told a Naval War College audience that "No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war." Roosevelt's geopolitical views "aligned to a great extent" with Read Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, Homes explains, and Mahan believed that in order to "wrest away" America's "rightful share of foreign commerce," the U.S. would need "a battle fleet able to 'fight, with reasonable chances of success, the largest force likely to be brought against it'.""

Abstract
The paper discusses the main domestic problems facing the U.S, as well as the expansionist policy in effect before Roosevelt took over as President. The paper explains how Roosevelt was influential in initiating progressive labor laws in the areas of child protection and workers compensation. The paper notes Roosevelt's staunch support of ?Manifest Destiny,? which appointed the U.S. as the sole protector of all the lands in the western hemisphere and emphasizes the role he played as a dedicated environmentalist.
From the Paper
"Of all the positive attributes associated with Theodore Roosevelt, his viewpoint on the role of American citizens in national and international affairs is most powerful and worth defending. Roosevelt once remarked that no one has the right to devote their entire lives to making money. He once said to a fervent admirer that ?a man wields tremendous power for good or for evil. . . the public has built up for you a personality; now give that personality to whatever interest you. . . in your neighborhood, your city or your state,? a declaration very similar in nature to that of President Kennedy in 1960 and surely effective in today?s world considering America?s involvement in global affairs. Thus, Theodore Roosevelt certainly brought about widespread and effective change, not only in America but also on a world scale that has yet to be matched by any U.S. President."

Abstract
This paper examines how Theodore Roosevelt played a role in expanding the president's powers (prerogative powers), especially in the international arena. It analyzes the various methods TR used to expand his office's powers, including fear tactics, executive agreements, appealing to the public during press conferences and a lot of good public relations so that his words spoke much louder than his actions.
From the Paper
"One of Roosevelt's (self-proclaimed) major accomplishments was making the building of the Panama Canal possible. In 1903, the government of Colombia refused to ratify an agreement to permit the US to begin construction of a canal. Roosevelt wasn't going to give up on the canal and he even considered simply taking possession of the isthmus with the help of the military. Instead, he took a less drastic, though still outrageous, route - he encouraged Panama to secede from Colombia, and ordered the US navy to prevent Colombian warships from putting down the revolt. Roosevelt then promptly recognized the new nation of Panama, and negotiated an agreement with the new country that granted the US a zone in which to construct a canal. Roosevelt's actions with Colombia excluded Congress from its constitutionally assigned responsibilities in matters of war and peace. And they also increased the president's power in foreign matters."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Theodore Roosevelt, elected as President of the United States in 1901 and 1904, was one of the most ambiguous characters in American history. This paper looks at some of his political beliefs and attitudes, both progressive and conservative, which influenced and shaped many domestic and international events which took place in the early 1890?s and into the opening years of the twentieth century. It focuses mainly on "The Manifest Destiny" and the conflict between the rich and poor classes within American society.
From the Paper
"Yet in contrast to these progressive beliefs, Roosevelt was a staunch supporter of ?Manifest Destiny,? first promoted by President James Madison in 1822 through his Monroe Doctrine which appointed the U.S. as the prime protector of all the lands in the Western hemisphere. Yet Roosevelt went one step further with his Roosevelt Corollary which stated that the U.S. could intervene in any legal contract between a country and a smaller, less civilized country in order to assure that the best interest of America was always at the forefront. Thus, with the U.S. controlling its neighbor?s affairs, the argument maintained that America would control its own destiny."

Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, 1992.

From the Paper
"This study will examine the relationships of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson to the Progressive Era and will compare the attitudes of the two administrations toward that era.
The Progressive Movement, one of several progressive periods of the last century, extended from about 1900 to 1914 and represented a political and economic program which, in general, aimed at increasing the role of the people in government, and decreasing the role of establishment forces. The Progressive Movement was largely reform-based, but it is too simple to say that it was simply liberal or populist. Political considerations helped shape different areas of the progressive approach to reform, and there are clear differences between the progressivism of Roosevelt and Wilson."

Abstract
A paper which compares and examines American Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. Included are discussions of World War I under Wilson, social and economic reforms taken on by both presidents, the Anthracite coal mining crisis under Roosevelt, and others. All of the important events that took place during these men's presidencies are presented comprehensively and concisely, leading to the ultimate conclusion that Theodore Roosevelt was the greater statesman of the two.
From the Paper
"Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were two presidents with completely different personalities and strategies while in office. The thing that they do share, however, is that they both left an indelible mark on the United States and the world at large. While Theodore Roosevelt showcased his "speak softly and carry a big stick" philosophy, Wilson preached a more moral-based, pacifistic approach to the presidency. Certainly, both men had an extremely important effect on the molding of history."

Abstract
This paper discusses the poet, Theodore Roethke, providing a brief background on him. One of his most discussed poems, "I Knew A Woman", is examined. The paper illustrates the striking sexual imagery used in the poem. The poet's style of writing is described, the rich metaphors, the symbolism, and the dual meanings. The paper outlines Roethke?s internal struggle toward mastery of the poetic arts, implying it was quite in keeping with the poet?s personality during his life.
From the Paper
"Theodore Roethke was, above all, a great American poet?planted solidly in the tradition of Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman. Indeed, much like Whitman, Roethke seemed to have an ability, perhaps gleaned from his intense love of nature, that allowed his poetry to communicate in a way that few poets ever imagine. Relatively speaking, Theodore Roethke was hardly a prolific writer by any means (his first book, Open House, published in 1941, took ten years to complete). However, the work he did produce was very well received. In fact his collection, The Waking garnered him the Pulitzer Prize in 1954 (Poets.org). Additionally, although he was first and foremost a poet, he was also a teacher, and he worked at colleges and universities from Vermont to Washington State (where he died in 1963)."

Theodore Sizer and Progressive Education, 2002.
An overview of Theodore Sizer's influence on education and the coalition of essential school.

Abstract
This paper looks at the influence of Theodore Sizer on progressive education. He is the founder of the coalition of essential schools, a national network of innovative schools. Its central idea is that education works best when it does not impose a curricular framework foreign to the child, teaches for deeper understanding rather than shallow coverage, engages the child as co-worker and co-discoverer, and emphasizes projects and process rather than lectures and textbooks. Sizer is the most powerful advocate for this school of thought.
