单选题1 Debt Settlement USA, Inc. , a leading debt settlement company, today announced that the number of consumers who are choosing debt settlement as an alternative to personal bankruptcy is significantly increasing. Debt Settlement USA expects to see a 40 percent increase in the number of consumers in 2008 who see debt settlement as the best solution to help them deal with financial hardships and a weakening economy versus last year. 2 " We are in the most difficult credit environment in recent history, " Jack Craven, President of Debt Settlement USA, said, " so it"s no surprise that, taken as a whole, the debt settlement industry has shifted into overdrive. Today"s economic environment is driving an unprecedented number of consumers into additional financial hardships, increasing the number of consumers seeking relief assistance from legitimate debt settlement companies. " 3 Currently, charge-off and delinquency rates are rising and bankruptcy filings increased by 38 percent from 2006 to 2007, according to Standard & Poor"s Credit Card Quality Indexes. While homes targeted for foreclosure rose by more than 100 percent from 2006 to 2007, $700 billion in Adjustable Rate Mortgages are due to reset by December of 2008 which will present new challenges to consumers struggling with debt issues already. 4 Traditionally, consumers have turned to debt settlement companies as an alternative to bankruptcy when faced with financial hardship. With the number of consumers facing financial hardships expected to grow in the coming months due to the weakening economy, Debt Settlement USA emphasizes the critical need to establish standards within the debt settlement industry now in order to protect consumers from fraudulent and unethical debt settlement practices. 5 Legitimate debt settlement companies can help people get out of debt efficiently and expeditiously by negotiating a settlement for a portion of the debt with their creditors. For example, on average, Debt Settlement USA settles clients" debts for 40 – 60 percent, enabling them to settle the debts that they bring into the program within 18-36 months. 6 Legitimate debt settlement programs also help creditors settle accounts more quickly, avoid third party expenses, and gain more control over this segment of their portfolio. Additionally, it helps them salvage relationships with customers who were in good standing prior to their hardship. Ultimately this leads to new business opportunities with these customers in the future.

单选题Traditionally, the study of history has had fixed boundaries and focal points—periods, countries, dramatic events, and great leaders. It also has had clear and firm notions of scholarly procedure: how one inquires into a historical problem, how one presents and documents one"s findings, what constitutes admissible and adequate proof. Anyone who has followed recent historical literature can testify to the revolution that is taking place in historical studies. The currently fashionable subjects come directly from the sociology catalog: childhood, work, leisure. The new subjects are accompanied by new methods. Where history once was primarily narrative, it is now entirely analytic. The old questions "What happened?" and "How did it happen?J" have give way to the question "Why did it happen?". Prominent among the methods used to answer the question "Why" is psychoanalysis, and its use has given rise to psychohistory. Psychohistory does not merely use psychological explanations in historical contexts. Historians have always used such explanations when they were appropriate and when there was sufficient evidence for them. But this pragmatic use of psychology is not what psychohistorians intend. They are committed, not just to psychology in general, but to Freudian psychoanalysis. This commitment precludes a commitment to history as historians have always understood it. Psychohistory derives its "facts" not from history, the detailed records of events and their consequences, but from psychoanalysis of the individuals who made history, and deduces its theories not from this or that instance in their lives, but from a view of human nature that transcends history, It denies the basic criterion of historical evidence: that evidence be publicly accessible to, and therefore assessable by, all historians. And it violates the basic tenet of historical method: that historians be alert to the negative instances that would refute their thesis. Psychohis-torians, convinced of the absolute Tightness of their own theories, are also convinced that theirs is the "deepest" explanation of any event, that other explanations all short of the truth. Psychohistory is not content to violate the discipline of history(in the sense of the proper mode of studying and writing about the past); it also violates the past itself. It denies to the past an integrity and will of its own, in which people acted out of a variety of motives and in which events had a multiplicity of causes and effects. It imposes upon the past the same determinism that it imposes upon the present, thus robbing people and events of their individuality and of their complexity. Instead of respecting the particularity of the past, it assimilates all events, past and present, into a single deterministic schema that is presumed to be true at all times and in all circumstances.
