    Theodore Roosevelt Report

    To many, Theodore Roosevelt is just one of the 44 presidents staring blankly out of a U.S. History textbook page, but he, along with three other noteworthy presidents, is immortalized in stone on Mt. Rushmore for a reason. His remarkable life story began even before his presidency: he “rose like a rocket” in his political position through introducing modern technology and reforms to the police system, and gained glory as a volunteer in the Rough Riders during their victory at San Juan Hill in Cuba. On September 14, 1901, Roosevelt succeeded President William McKinley and became the youngest to ever become president. He was the first to perform an assortment of other feats, such as riding an airplane and submarine, winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and most importantly, becoming the first modern president. He referred to the White House as a “bully pulpit” (a position sufficiently conspicuous to provide an opportunity to speak out and be listened to), while regulating monopolies--from which he gained the title of “trust buster”--and enforcing a program of domestic reforms that he coined “the square deal.” His beliefs were based on the “stewardship theory of presidency,” which directs the president “to do anything that the needs of the Nation demanded unless such action was forbidden by the Constitution or by the laws.” Unlike his predecessors, Roosevelt did not remain in the comfort of the White House, but instead traveled to other countries for campaigns, becoming the first president to leave the United States. His destinations included Africa, where he sought artifacts for the Smithsonian, hunting, and writing inspiration; and Panama, where he undertook the construction of the Panama Canal--the “greatest achievement of [his] presidency.” However, after a narrow escape from an assassination attempt during his Bull Moose campaign, Roosevelt retreated to his home in Sagamore Hill, where he stayed for 34 years until his death in 1919, due to cardiovascular disease.…

    Theodore Roosevelt: A Renaissance Man

    The route to presidency, had been for the most part normal for previous presidents, but no other president has had a more extravagant upcoming than Theodore Roosevelt. From surviving multiple plane crashes to surviving a gunshot to the heart, Theodore Roosevelt, a lover of ecology, for the extraordinary man he is, must have had an extraordinary life as well. He could have even considered himself a Renaissance man due to his many acquired titles. When he’s not earning Nobel prizes, fighting as a rough rider in the Spanish-American war, or just being a cowboy, Theodore Roosevelt is just still a human being. Being human means he is susceptible to the daily routines that bound us to mediocrity, only the pleasures that are available to him extend…

    Theodore Roosevelt Biography

    One of the most significant presidents of the United States was Theodore Roosevelt; born on October 27th, 1858 a day filled with great joy for his two parents Theodore Roosevelt Sr. and Martha Bulloch Roosevelt. “Teddy” (as his family called him in part to distinguish him from his father) was the second of four children; he had two sisters and a brother. From a very young age, Theodore was sick with asthma so most of his childhood he spent on a bed propped up or slouched in a chair. Due to his many illnesses, he was tutored as he needed special attention. While studying German and French under Anna Minkwitz, she predicted: “He will surely one day be a great professor; He may become president of the United States.”…

    Biography: Herbert Spencer

    British philosopher and sociologist, Herbert Spencer was a major figure in the intellectual life of the Victorian era. He was one of the principal proponents of evolutionary theory in the mid nineteenth century, and his reputation at the time rivaled that of Charles Darwin. Spencer was initially best known for developing and applying evolutionary theory to philosophy, psychology and the study of society — what he called his “synthetic philosophy” (1). Today, however, he is usually remembered in philosophical circles for his political thought, primarily for his defense of natural rights and for criticisms of utilitarian positivism, and his views have been invoked by ‘libertarian’ thinkers such as Robert Nozick.…
