Abstract
This paper discusses the thesis: The Presidents of the United States took on activist roles in response to wars and progressive social reform. Whereas powers assumed during war were to recede following war?s conclusion, the increased role of the President were always increased with social reform that put social programs under the command of the executive. This was to alter dramatically after Truman?s administration decided to introduce atomic weapons to warfare.
Paper Outline:
1. Lincoln?s Presidency
2. The Gilt Age Presidents
3. Gilt Age Presidents
4. Normalcy
5. Roosevelt?s New Deal
6. Truman and the Post-War Era
From the Paper
"Wilson?s conduct during and independent of the First World War was a testament to the caprice of an ideological leader who embodied many of the sentiments common to progressive idealists in the first decades of the 20th century. Wartime taxes on the wealthiest Americans jumped to above 70%, prompting most of them to put their money into tax-free municipal bonds. Many thought well of this move at the time, along with the subsequent inheritance tax, also known as the death tax. Degler is among them, and claims ?in taxing incomes according to the ability to pay, the progressives were taking notice of the highly interdependent nature of society.? (5)"

Abstract
This paper discusses how the accountant in a modern organization must be able to perform many more functions than in the past. Managerial accountants are important in assuring that the organization is on target for meeting strategic goals. It looks at how it is no longer enough to have a basic understanding of receivables, payables and cash flow and how accountants now play an active role in management and decision making. They are responsible for goal setting, forecasting and many other activities that were previously in the realm of management and must consider corporate culture and be able to adapt their techniques to meet specific company needs.
From the Paper
"Corporate culture and accounting used to be two terms that should never occur in the same sentence. Accounting was a separate entity from other systems in the organization. Now accounting is an integral part of every phase of the business including legal, political and social systems within an organization (Shraddha and Sidney, 1997). As the needs of an organization change, so do the accounting system change to meet these changing needs. A modern accountant must be more flexible in practice than in the past. Modern accounting practices must be able to adapt a trait that was not synonymous with accounting in the past. Accounting used to adhere to a rigid set of rules and procedures, but now they must remain flexible and willing to change on short notice. "

Abstract
This paper examines how the role of men within the family and society has changed over the past two decades. The paper gives a brief history of men's traditional role, based both on physical stature and societal expectations. The author then examines the impact of the feminist movement and men taking on more traditionally female roles in the workplace and at home. The author acknowledges that some men may not be accepted for accepting non-traditional jobs and roles at home. The author concludes that men need to discover for themselves how best to bridge the gap between traditional expectations and current social acceptance.
From the Paper
"What most people consider the traditional roles of the American man seem to be rooted in the generations of the two World Wars (Lindsay, 2005). Lindsay (2005) describes the role of the "Great American Alpha Male" as "husband, breadwinner, father and warrior" who "returned from saving the world to two-car garages and suburban malaise" (p. 1). Such men had the identity of male made for them and knew what was expected of them. They completed their education, fought in the wars of their country, settled down with a wife as soon as they could support one, and raised a family. Once married, they stay married. They provided for their family under nearly all circumstances and protected them from harsh societal issues and world events. (Lindsay, 2005). This is clearly not today's man."

Abstract
The American President is perceived as extremely powerful and also as constrained in a number of ways. This paper considers the actual power of an American President compared with the perceived power. It also compares the role of the American President to that of the British Prime Minister.
From the Paper
"It is certainly the case that American Presidents are viewed and indeed portrayed as powerful individuals. Part of this is due to the media's focus on the personality of presidents and presidential candidates at the expense of their policies and actual role. A President's influence in Washington relies on how he is perceived by the public - more so than a Prime Minister's, which depends more on the view of his cabinet and parliament, which is then adopted by he media - and so this public image is continuously cultivated by the President himself."

Abstract
This paper discusses the difficult lives of women in the American colonies, lives which revolved around the basic family unit and entailed laborous tasks to ensure the survival and continuity of the home. The paper shows that as time progressed and the colonies became more civilized, the roles of women changed. Instead of merely surviving, women began to have leisure time on their hands. Women also had time to educate themselves beyond their regular housewifery skills. Socially, women had time to entertain and lead more leisurly lives. The paper follows the changing role of these women through the Revolutionary War when they assumed a number of unfamiliar roles. It also shows how the development of the countryside and infrastructure changed the social life of women. Finally, the paper shows that women of this time had their lives shaped by extraordinary events such as political and economic upheavals, religious conflict, and intellectual transformation. It was during this time that women first started to establish themselves and their rights.
From the Paper
"The practical and functional roles of women changed during the Revolutionary War. Women had to take up positions that they normally would not have had to before. They had to manage the house while their patriotic husbands were gone. This also opened other doors to women. For Deborah Sampson it meant cross-dressing as a soldier and taking up arms. She was placed into indenture at the age of ten and upon completion entered the army. (Ferguson 183) She was noted to be a woman who wanted to see the world. If not for the war, where would she have ended up, and what path would this creative, energetic and brave woman have taken? Her husband subsequently received a veterans pension for her efforts.(Evans 54)"

Abstract
The paper describes some of the changes in the role of human resources management. It explains the reasons behind this change and examines the factors causing the changes and addresses how, in many cases, factors external to the business itself, are responsible.
From the Paper
"Over the past several decades, the role of human resources management has changed. In some areas, this role has changed significantly. In many cases, factors external to the business itself, such as globalization, technology, the need to introduce diversity, the nature of Internet business, and changing business ethics have been responsible for these changes. This paper will be used to describe some of these changes. The Role and Visibility of Human Resources According to Ng (2005) today's human resource personnel are far different from their predecessors. Ng states that as recently as two decades ago, human resources personnel did not have an extremely visible role in their business culture. In contrast to the role of human resources today, at that time human resources personnel "worked behind the scenes to ensure personnel records were in order and employee benefits were being properly administered" (par. 3)."

Abstract
The Progressive Era saw the beginning of women wanting more from their lives. This paper discusses the development of women's roles in society throughout history. It details how women began to develop careers and campaign for their right to vote. It tells of the hardships that American women had to face when taking on "male" professions such as: doctors, lawyers and managers.
From the Paper
"Events during the Progressive Era altered the role of women in the United States. In the late nineteenth century women began to emerge into society with a strong voice. They began to enter into professional careers and launched a campaign for women's suffrage. American women often found themselves excluded from most of the emerging professions in the late nineteenth century by custom, law, and by prejudice. However, there was a noticeable number of middle - class women from new women's colleges and coeducational state universities that began to enter into the professional world. Very few women were able to establish themselves as physicians, lawyers, and corporate managers. Most women turned to professions that society deemed "suitable" for women. These were careers such as teaching and nursing. These careers were known as "helping professions". It was this characteristic that made women's professions distinctive from male dominated professions and it was these so-called women?s professions that altered the pay scale for men and women also.

Abstract
An overview of the status of women, starting from antiquity (including their status in the Far East), and ending in the present day, emphasizing American women, and their prospects for education and economic advancement.
From the Paper
"There are and always have been very distinct divisions in the roles of men and women. These divisions are deep-rooted in economic, social and religious beliefs throughout history. Women have played many roles in societies throughout history. Through the centuries, almost every society has developed very distinct ideas of what activities are proper for women. In some societies, there is no greater honor than to be a woman and in turn a mother. Yet, as in some Asian cultures, the lives of women are of such less value than those of men that the practice of female infanticide has become a widely used device for population control. Over time, many reasons have been given for the gender inequality that exists in society. Women are supposed to be weaker, less aggressive and more caring and nurturing than men. However, the most applied barrier of equality, especially in the workplace, has been woman?s ability to bear children (Hanmer 19). Because only women have the ability to bear children, it has often been viewed that it is thus a woman?s ultimate obligation to do so. There has been no scientific evidence though that women have what is called maternal instinct, that is, a natural desire to bear and care for children (Hanmer 115). From the earliest of times, motherhood has helped to divide men and women since women primarily stay at home while pregnant and nursing. Likewise, men have traditionally taken jobs away from the home. In primitive times, this practice may not have suggested inequality between the sexes. Yet, in our modern times the tradition of women staying at home rearing children while men work outside the home has left many women economically dependent on a man to provide the material necessities of life.

The Changing Role of the Female, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines how changing literature has effectively shown how society has changed from the mid 1800?s to the early 1900?s regarding the role of women, with each work representing the characteristics of the time in which it was created. It considers this change by analyzing three poems written during that period: ?They shut me up in Prose? by Emily Dickinson, story ?The Yellow Wallpaper? by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and ?Home Burial? by Robert Frost. Each of these works is considered and compared, while reflecting on how each refer to women and their suggested role.
From the Paper
"Dickinson also offered her opinion that women were not capable of having an opinion because of the focus on them not being capable of independent thought. Dickinson?s poem is actually going against this approach since Dickinson herself obviously has opinions about the issue. However, ultimately, Dickinson recognizes that while she may have opinions, she remains confined. It is also worth recalling that Dickinson?s poem is not necessarily a call for change or a way of expressing her opinion to the world."

Mass public education emerged in the 19th century. Teaching has under gone massive changes since that time.

These accelerating social and cultural changes within the educational system continue to have a vast impact on the working lives on teachers.

Abstract
This paper is a literary analysis of William Dean Howells' novel regarding the rapid change in the women's movement at the end of the 19th century in "A Hazard of New Fortunes". The author discusses and contrasts women of the future, like character Alma Leighton, with the very traditional woman, like Mrs. March. The paper also expresses the view that Howells preferred Mrs. March to the more radical Alma.
From the Paper
"In ?A Hazard of New Fortunes?, William Dean Howells explores a number of themes through the interaction of the major characters in the novel. Much of his focus revolves around the women in the book and the interaction of these women with each other and with men. Howells writes about issues contemporary to the time of the book?s publication in 1890. Not coincidentally the 1880s marked the beginning of a significant upsurge in the women?s movement. ?A Hazard of New Fortunes? presents women who abide by the old values in contrast to women who have begun to adopt the values that eventually lead to full suffrage for women, more education opportunities for women, and more career choices for women."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer notes that less than 100 years ago, American women enjoyed relatively few freedoms: they could not vote, they could not control money, and they were frequently treated like chattel or other property, owned by their male relatives. However, the last 100 years have seen tremendous advances in women's rights. The writer points out that, first, women have obtained significant legal advances in the past 100 years, which have led to the legal recognition of women as equals. Although women have not achieved absolute equality, these legal changes have led to significant equitable equality. The writer discusses that while these changes have impacted women of different races in different manners, the feminist movement has resulted in positive changes for all women. The writer concludes that, as a result of these changes, all American women have achieved substantial gender equality, and the changes have benefited women regardless of class or gender.

Introduction
Body
Conclusion
From the Paper
" Although women did not traditionally enjoy legal or real freedoms in America, there has been a tremendous change in women's rights in the last 100 years, and those changes have positively impacted women of all races and classes. Women have gone from being considered the property of husbands or the absolute property of slave-owners to autonomous individuals with the full range of legal rights and responsibilities. In addition, the law officially prohibits sex-based discrimination. These legal changes have led to increases in substantive equality. For example, women make up almost half of the American labor force and, though the wage gap still exists, it is slowly shrinking. In addition, American women have access to reliable contraceptives, giving them an unprecedented level of personal freedom. These changes have benefited women from all walks of life; though the feminist movement has not accomplished its goals of eliminating racism and classism, it has successfully benefited women of all races and classes. Such tremendous changes in such a relatively short period of time make total equality seem inevitable."

From the Paper
"The American family faces many challenges. A multitude of urgent demands, internal and external, creates stress on the family structure. These ever increasing demands tax families' ability to survive and thrive in contemporary society. Our understanding of the configuration and operation of the family changes as research dispels society's deeply rooted myths. The ongoing effort to gather better data yields new information that provides sociologists and others with a more realistic view of family life as it exists today. One of the most significant changes has occurred in women's role in the family.
The role of women in the family has shifted significantly. Women were described as housekeepers and mothers by Catherine Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe (212) in 1879. The role of homemaker and mother now incorporates being primary wage earner..."
