About me - Svetlana Elizabeth

Hi,

I've left this box blank for so long because I'm not sure what to put here.

I'm a student (and cleaner, wehey) in England. I'm interested in history, politics and philosophy. A lot of my articles are on other random things though as I enjoy doing research

Arts & Humanities > 20th & 21st Century US History The legacy of Franklin D. Roosevelt: 7 of 9
Franklin Roosevelt was the President of the United States of America during the Great Depression and World War Two (1933-45).

Education > Graduate Studies Christmas 2007: Gift ideas for college freshmen: 10 of 12
Obviously, if your son or daughter is away at college, money (for you and them) may be tight. For this reason, gift vouchers or just plain cash can be a good idea. Obviously, this isn't the most exciting of presents. Gift vouchers for clothing shops might be a good idea, especially for girls. When I am short on money, I hate... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the UK Margaret Thatcher: First female prime minister of Britain: 5 of 6
Margaret Thatcher is certainly a controversial woman. Despite being voted in for three terms running, with some impressive landslide victories, once she was removed by her cabinet in 1990 few people would admit to supporting her. In the South, Thatcher was no longer "cool", and in the North she was widely dispised. This went... More..

Computers & Technology > Hardware (Other) My experience with a Mac: 9 of 10
Like most people, I'd never used a mac before. I only got my first internet ready computer in 2002.

When the first Mac Minis came out, I ... More..

Atoms are the fundamental unit of chemistry, and were for nearly one hundred years between 1803 and 1897 considered the smallest indivisible particle of matter in the universe.

Politics, News & Issues > US News Should we apologise for the slave trade: 67 of 69
200 years since Britain abolished the slave trade, many people believe that Western leaders have a duty to apologise for the transatlantic slave trade. Others think this is a ridiculous idea, stating that Africans also profited from the slave trade and that it is wrong to apologise for something that was acceptable at the ti... More..
Arts & Humanities > 20th & 21st Century US History The legacy of Harry Truman: 13 of 13
Harry Truman was president at one of the most crucial times in recent history. His decisions would inevitably have a massive impact on the world.
