Abstract Beth Henley's plays "Crimes of the Heart" and "Miss Firecracker" both very much reveal the theme of how humor can camouflage human suffering and tragedy. "Crimes of the Heart" examines the plight of three young women who are betrayed by their passions. Each woman suffers a certain tragedy in her own life, which is directly related to a certain form of mental sickness, yet at the same time a certain humorous angle exists in that life. The same can be said about "Miss Firecracker," as the main actor appears to be a humorous caricature of her very self.
Abstract This paper briefly chronicles the background, impact in the field of nursing, contributions and professional associations of Beth Vaughan-Wrobel, a leading member in the field of nursing education and advocacy. The paper discusses how she has emerged as a pioneering thinker in the field of geriatric nursing. The paper highlights how she is well aware that the nursing profession is likely to have to meet the demands of geriatric patients at an even greater number in the future. Vaughan-Wrobel's suggestions for better trained, at-home caregivers would be a way to alleviate some of the profession's burdens, as well as ease the situation of the family members of the patient.
From the Paper "In all the fields where she has excelled, Vaughan-Wrobel continues to have an impact upon the ways geriatric patients are perceived and cared for, and the ways that students are prepared to meet the ever-changing future of nursing. She has not only made critical thinking skills an important part of nursing education. She has also called upon society to see the aging process itself as an education, and demanded reforms in the ways that the caretakers who help ease the transition of adults into the next spheres of their lives will be prepared to meet the challenges that face them in the future."

Conclusion
From the Paper "Her interest in geriatric nursing and nursing education became fused in a new and continuing fashion, after 1999 when Vaughan-Wrobel was asked to serve on the board of the Schmieding Center, which has the stated goal of devising innovative policy solutions with the aim of keeping older adults out of nursing homes. Vaughan-Wrobel has worked with the center to create formal standards and a community outreach structure to devise a network of professionally trained, paid, in-home caregivers to provide personal care and other non-medical services to older adults in the home."
Abstract This paper explains that Beth Cuthand's "Post-Oka Kinda Woman"
appears to be about the rather insignificant-looking action of a Native woman walking down the street; however, the subject is really the issue of the Oka crisis, which began on March 11, 1990 and lasted until September 26, 1990. The author points out that, through its prosody, tone, characterization and diction, this poem challenges preconceived notions about Native people. The paper concludes that Cuthand's poem disputes the idea that the Oka crisis is not really over and suggests that the Mohawk nation will continue to fight for their rights over the land.
From the Paper "Prosody in "Post-Oka Kinda Woman" mixes feet within the poem. By not employing 'perfect' metre with every line doing da-dum or dum-da, the metre Cuthand chose reflects the meaning, mood and emotional colour of the words and images. Line one begins with tetrameter, line while two switches to pentameter and line three has hexameter. The changing metre slows down the reader by line three, emphasizing the importance of the words, "victimization, reparation". Although lines four to six ease in the metre by changing to pentameter, line three slows the reader down."
Abstract This paper is an interpretation of a fictional letter written from the perspective of Hans Albrecht Bethe. According to this paper, Bethe was a theoretical physicist working on the United States' Manhattan Project during the second world war. This paper presents an idea of what he might have been feeling, following the nuclear blasts over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Abstract The paper presents the thesis that the physicists instrumental in the design and development of the nuclear atomic bomb held a level of pride in their accomplishment as well as regret for its potential for destruction, death and war. The paper describes the Manhattan Project and examines the personal moral standards of the scientists who developed it. The paper shows how regrets were certainly held by Bethe, Oppenheimer, Haber and other scientists and physicists sharing in the atomic energy and weaponry projects.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper "The work entitled: "Invisible: Atomic Bomb Efforts in the US, USSR and National Socialist Germany" relates that governments and physicists both came to realize "simultaneously...that their discoveries had military potential. If any nation could harness the energy of nuclear fission in an explosion, a super bomb would be possible." (Open Society Archives, 2007) The second World War erupted in Europe in 1939 and the publications concerning nuclear subject matter "disappeared from scientific journals and the race to the nuclear bomb was on." (Open Society Archives)"

Abstract In this essay, Beth Henley's play "Crimes of the Heart" is analysed. This paper argues that suicide is the key symbol of the family dysfunction in "Crimes of the Heart", as it links the generations and allows audiences to focus on the pain and the shared strength and family ties of the three Magrath sisters. In this paper, quotes from the play are compared with psychological literature on the impact of suicide and family dysfunction.
Abstract This paper discusses the case of Beth B. v Clay, an Illinois case about special education placement. The Illinois statutes, and concept of the least restrictive environment (LRE) are looked at, as well as the legal reasons for the court's decision that the school district had not violated either IDEA or ADA.
Abstract This paper analyzes Beth Loffreda's book, "Losing Matt Shepard". The paper discusses the media's role in the prejudiced feelings toward Matt Shepard, a gay student, following his murder. It then discusses how people across America responded to his murder and how the media's publicity of the murder contributed to this response. The paper briefly discusses gay rights at the time of the incident, in 1988 in the United States.
From the Paper "Uncovers how the residents of Laramie responded when Matt Shepard, a young gay student at the University of Wyoming, was brutally beaten and left to die by the side of the road in the fall of 1988. Loffreda's project investigates the media's manipulative role in publicizing the murder and how intense scrutiny transforms a usually quaint, subdued community into a hate crime capital. Eschewing the stereotypes and platitudes fed us by the media, Beth Loffreda interviews a wide range of the so-called ordinary people in Laramie and uncovers a wide array of complexities and prejudices."

From the Paper "Three authors present characters who are disturbed, whose disturbance has a particular effect on friends and family, and whose problems are addressed in different ways by the authors. Tennessee Williams creates a memorable character in Blanche DuBois, the genteel Southern lady whose sexual obsessions are followed by her in a world of illusions by which she maintains some sense of self. She comes up against harsh reality in the form of her sister's husband, Stanley Kowalski. Lila Wingo is the mother of the suicidal patient in Pat Conroy's novel Prince of Tides, and she has her illusions as well. She is a source of distress not only for her daughter but for her son, Tom--daughter and son are twins. Beth Jarrett in Judith Guest's novel Ordinary People is a third woman who uses illusions to protect herself from the outside world and from the reality that would destroy..."
Abstract This paper presents reasons and examples that demonstrate the Transcendental philosophy exhibited in both Louisa May Alcott's novel, "Little Women" and Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin". The paper discusses the emphasis both books place on spirituality and the primacy of family and shows how the characters use their spirituality and their love for their families as the means to transcend materialism.
From the Paper "Alcott begins Little Women by invoking John Bunyan's seventeenth century text The Pilgrim's Progress. Alcott's excerpt sets the stage for the tone and theme of the events to come in her novel. In fact, the first chapter of Little Women is entitled, ?Playing Pilgrim.? It is no coincidence that Alcott would choose The Pilgrim's Progress as the work which would influence the minds of the four March daughters. Little Women is partly autobiographical, since Alcott herself grew up in a family of four girls. Moreover, Alcott's father was friends with both Emerson and Thoreau, which undoubtedly impacted young Louisa May. Her exposure to such works as The Pilgrim's Progress was a result of her upbringing, close to the heart of New England transcendentalism and to the values it espoused."

Abstract Discusses changing male/female encounters and Beth Bailey's explanation of the social meaning in her book, "From Front Porch to Back Seat: Effects of a Consumer Society". Examines other theories, including the political/economic.
From the Paper "Beth Bailey's text From Front Porch to Back Seat on the dating system in early 20th Century America-before the sexual revolution of the late 1960s-attempts to explain the social meaning of the transition from "calling" to "dating." A man "called" on a ..."
Abstract This paper discusses the Salem witchcraft trials that occurred in the 17th century. The paper reviews two literary works on this topic, "The Devil in the Shape of a Woman", by Carol Karlsen, and "In the Devil's Snare", by Mary Beth Norton. The paper compares these two books and explains the different approaches taken to the witchcraft trials.
From the Paper "Salem witchcraft is probably the most fascinating and most talked about subject in the history of the world. How people were accused of being witches and wizards, the trials that ensued, the baseless charges that were made and the hysteria that had gripped Salem in the 17th century have fascinated historians around the globe and most prominently in the United States and Europe and endless researches have been conducted so far. These researches focus on the one troubling question: what gave rise to the witchcraft hysteria and paranoia? Some people it was the simply the invasion of new changes in social values and beliefs that resulted in these tragic events where many were hanged and numerous others were sent to prison. Some believe that the fact that most women in those days were confined to their houses where depressive conditions had had a negative impact on their psyches and teenage girls began accusing older women of witchcraft. However it appears that this debate will never end, at least not in the near future since new books are still coming out with unique perspectives on the issue."
Abstract This is paper presents a comparison of Mary Beth Montcalm's article entitled "Free Trade and Continental Integration" and Parvin Ghorayshi's chapter called "The Discourse of Globalization and the Alleged Inevitability of our Global Future". Both of these pieces deal with the consequences of globalization, with specific reference to Canada, although Montcalm never actually uses the word gobalization.
