Okay, here's the essay. It could probably benefit from a bit of revision, but it is what it is. I'm leaving it public on the off-chance that someone wants to link it to someone else. Keep in mind that I'd never submit this to a professor, and that this was simply a task.. and if I made any factual errors, feel free to correct me on 'em. :]
