From the Paper "After Carey's inspiration contributed to the founding of the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792, and after his missionary work in India, Carey helped complete a translation of the NT into Bengali (published 1801). When Fort William College opened in Calcutta, Carey was appointed professor of Sanskrit, Bengali, and Marathi. He also translated the entire Bible into Bengali (1809), as well as translating the entire or part into 24 other dialects and languages. As a skillful linguist, Carey not only translated the Scriptures into Bengali, but also into Kanarese, Marathi, Punjabi, Sanskrit, and Telugu, India's major languages. He also produced dictionaries and grammars for a number of other languages. Some individuals, in fact, perceive Carey to be the father of modem Bengali."

Conclusion
From the Paper "In November of 1800, while Dr. John Thomas was visiting the Serampore Mission, a man named Krishna Pal broke his arm. Thomas went to fix it and was able to share the gospel with him. Some time later, Krishna Pal ran into him on the street and informed him that he believed in Jesus. Thomas invited him to come home and eat with them. Eating with a foreign family was a sign of breaking caste, it was one of the ways that the Serampore Trio had devised to test a convert to see if their faith was sincere. He joined them and became the first official convert from Carey's work in India. By 1821, fourteen hundred new Christians had been baptized, more than half of them Indians."
Abstract This essay compares Charles Dickens? "Great Expectations" with Peter Carey's ?Jack Maggs.? The author examines how the portrayal of the convict characters Abel Magwitch and Jack Maggs are compared and contrasted, revealing astonishing similarities between the two characters, despite the different backgrounds of their authors.
From the Paper:
"Peter Carey's novel, "Jack Maggs", and Charles Dicken's "Great Expectations" whilst built on the same story line, were written by two authors from different countries and different times. It would therefore not be amiss for a reader to assume that their respective portrayals of a convict, who earns his wealth in New South Wales and sponsors a London street urchin to gentlemanly status, would differ markedly. This assumption, however, is quickly contradicted upon comparison of the two texts. Both Dickens and Carey, despite their different backgrounds, portray their respective convict characters, Able Magwitch and Jack Maggs, with great empathy."
Abstract This paper will compare Dilbert, the cartoon character, with Drew Carey, the TV show star. Their influences on each other and their similarities will be reflected upon. Their reasons why they are so popular will be expounded upon as well.
Abstract This essay is an in-depth analysis of file-sharing technology (Napster, Kazaa) and its relation to modern intellectual property laws. In order to structure the analysis, theoretical work from two prominent communications scholars - Harold Innis and James Carey - is employed. These authors divided media into two types: Innis categorized media as either time-biased or space biased, while Carey said media was either ritual or transmission. Ritual/time-biased media resist control and intellectual property laws, and file-sharing networks are ritual and time-biased. This essay defines the medium of file-sharing networks, intellectual property, the terms used by Innis and Carey, and shows how the nature of the medium explains why intellectual property laws are ignored on file-sharing networks.
From the paper:
"From a modern, literate, perspective the current economic and legal debate over file-sharing is a teeming with contradictions. Most people find the thought of shoplifting a CD repugnant, yet many of those same people wouldn"t hesitate to borrow a copy from a friend or download a song from a complete stranger. What is the cause of this dichotomy" Can one be a consumer and a thief at the same time? This essay proposes that answers can be found by examining the media in question. Most modern investigation of this subject, critical and legal, is rooted in one specific perspective, but media scholars like Harold Innis and James Carey have in fact proposed two. Logically and historically, intellectual property rights appear in one and not the other. The following pages will define the medium in question and the two perspectives. Next these definitions will be used to place the medium in the most appropriate frame. Once the medium is categorized, the work of Innis and Carey will be applied to show how the nature of the medium determines the role of intellectual property."
Abstract Studies of human communication often take several approaches. Two such approaches are those by Wilbur Schramm and James Carey. The paper shows that in his book "The Story of Human Communication", Schramm presents a rather broad history of human communication in which primitive communication technologies have led society to the high levels of communication that the world utilizes today. Schramm's model of communication is one in which the history of human communications is quite linear and exemplifies Carey's description of a transmission model of communication. On the other hand, the paper shows that James Carey, in "Communication As Culture", studies communication as a cultural phenomenon; one in which the act of participation in communication is more important than the information communicated. From these two approaches to communication, different communication technologies can be analyzed.
From the Paper "An important step in the process of developing modern communication technologies was the utilization of "The Newspaper." For Schramm and his transmission model of communication, editors of newspapers prepared the news they felt was relevant and sent that news to the receiver via a channel. This represents a simple transportation model of communication; one in which information moves from one place to another. In this case, the newspaper editor sends the information to an expected audience. He does so for the purpose of control. What information the sender (editor) decides to transmit to the readers impacts them as they are likely to change their opinions and attitudes towards different subjects."
Abstract In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the novel 'Jack Maggs' by Peter Carey. Specifically, the writer discusses and interprets three major aspects of the novel: crime in the 19th century, class in London in the early 19th century and women and their roles in this place and time. The writer explains that 'Jack Maggs' is a historical novel in the tradition of Charles Dickens. The writer discusses that many critics compare this novel to Dickens' "Great Expectations", with Maggs taking on the Dickens' character of Magwitch. The writer maintains that the story is as much a tale of London and her history as it is a retelling of Dickens' work and even his own life. The writer concludes that 'Jack Maggs' is a compelling book that leaves the reader with a deeper understanding of the inner workings of London in Victorian times.
From the Paper "Victorian England, the period for this richly detailed novel, was a time of great growth and change in society. The Industrial Revolution, with its machinery and mass production was underway, and British cities were filling up with thousands of people looking for work in the factories. Living conditions for the lower classes were deplorable at best. The London setting of this novel makes that quite clear. It shows London as vibrant and alive, but also dirty, smelly, and incredibly crowded. It was also a city filled with crime, poverty, and desperation.
It is not surprising that author Tobias Oates is obsessed with crime and criminology. He lived in a city where crime was rampant."
Abstract This paper examines how Baptists are still at the forefront of missions work and how faith missions, small missionary outposts without affiliation to a larger missions group, are often staffed by Baptist missionaries. These faith missions have an enduring quality and steady growth. They also are among the first to employ creative new ways of spreading the Gospel. It looks at how the history of Baptist missions is littered with the names of brave men and women following the call of God into areas of the world far from home, devoid of all creature comforts.

Conclusion
From the Paper "After forming the Baptist Missionary Society, Carey and his family became foreign missionaries themselves. They set sail for India on June 13, 1793. When he and his family arrived, they found a rather hostile reception from the country that was controlled by the East India Company. The East India Company did not look kindly on missionaries. After seven years of faithful service, Carey baptized his first Hindu convert, Krishna Pal. William Carey dealt with all sorts of hurdles, one of the largest being his wife. Initially she was opposed to the idea of even going to India. At the last moment, she changed her mind. Never fond of the mission field to begin with, she went insane when her five-year-old son died. She raved like a lunatic during her last years on earth, complicating her husband's job immensely. Mrs. Carey, in her state of delusion, was convinced that her husband was cheating on her and would tell anyone who would listen. "
Abstract This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes "Australian Literature: An Anthology of Writing From the Land Down Under," by Phyllis Edelson. Specifically, it analyzes the essay "American Dreams," by Peter Carey. Some Australians do not seem to recognize just what it is they have in their country, and Carey attempts to show them how they are pushing their culture away with their "American Dreams."
From the Paper "Peter Carey's "American Dreams" is a veiled plea to his countrymen to stop thinking about America and try to appreciate what they have at home. "For our own town, my father says, we have nothing but contempt" (Ededson 166). The people do not respect what they have, or even those who live in the town. When Gleason begins building his wall, they think only the worst, and cannot think of something good or beautiful, and it is the same with how they see Australia as compared to America. "Later he told me that he thought Gleason had built the model of our town just for this moment, to set us see the beauty of our own town, to make us proud of ourselves and to stop the American Dreams we were so prone to" (Edelson 172)."
Abstract This paper reviews James Carey, Thomas Hughes and Brian Winston present respective articles. It explores their distinct approaches to the issue of technological determinism. It explains that while Carey emphasizes technological determinism, Hughes balances internalist and contextualist approaches and Winston argues for the most complex model of the three which emphasizes the critical role of cultural factors upon technological development. The paper argues, in comparing and contrasting the three approaches, that Winston's argument best explains anomalous examples in the history of technology that the other approaches could not easily explain.

In general, while Carey emphasizes technological determinism, Hughes balances internalist and contextualist approaches, and Winston argues for the most complex model of the three which emphasizes the critical role of cultural factors upon technological development. This essay will argue, in comparing and contrasting the three approaches, that Winston's argument best explains anomalous examples in the history of technology that the other approaches could not easily explain.

Abstract This paper is a comparative analysis of W. Somerset Maugham's novel "Of Human Bondage" and Virginia Woolf's book "To the Lighthouse". The author explains how each work presents a unique perspective on the purpose of the human existence evidenced through an assessment of literary approaches and biographical influences. Also considered are the literary styles, outlooks towards death and main characters.
From the Paper "The history of English literature can be said to resemble the lineage of a family tree. As generations pass, innovative ideologies are birthed and literature offshoots into new schools of thought. While each green branch is unique in its own right, it is also indebted to all those that came before. Hence, in this way no writer is ever wholly inventive or original. Consequently, authors Virginia Woolf and W. Somerset Maugham have more in common than either would admit to."
Abstract This article discusses the situation of mental health and illness in today's society. The author argues that materialism, fame and fortune have taken over society and that as a result society has forgotten to give meaning to life.
From the Paper "Good mental health is a fundamental aspect of life, but, as we are aware, a huge proportion of our society, around 25%, will at some stage suffer from a form of mental illness. We must realize the enormity of this problem. Stalin once said, ?The death of one person is a tragedy, the death of a thousand is a statistic.? (Stalin). This means that we as humans, are unable to digest all the information that comes our way everyday and numbers are just that: numbers. 25% means that in every four people, one is likely to experience mental illness. Mental illness is a problem of the everyday, of the streets, of the ordinary man and woman that experience the joys, the sorrows, the trials and the tribulations of life."

Abstract This paper is an analysis of an article by John Carey and Ellen Licking, "The Stem-Cell Debate Just Got Thornier" that appeared in the February 11, 2002 issue of "Business Week." The paper uses information from the article to define stem cells, and to give an overview of the debate over research using human embryos. The issue of virtual embryos and some of the controversial issues surrounding the possible use of any of this research to cure many diseases such as Parkinson's, leukemia or the regeneration of lost limbs.
From the Paper "Stem cells are present in the early stages of embryonic development, and have the ability to develop into any other sort of cell. This makes them useful tools in healing degenerative diseases where extra heart, brain, or other cells are needed. Until recent developments, it was believed these cells could only be harvested from human embryos, which sparked a great deal of ethical debate. Many people believe that human life begins before birth, and do not approve of the idea of grinding up little humans and injecting their cells into sick adults. Federal research money is given only to programs that use existing cell lines and forbids harvesting new stem cells. Cloning is also in line to be chopped, which will further prevent scientists from creating "bred for the slaughter" embryos from which to harvest identical stem cells for their patients."
This paper is aimed at deconstructing the personality of actor-comedian Andy Kaufman from an empirical point of view, based on Carl Jung's archetype theory.
Abstract The paper is based on the writer's observations of the 1999 film "Man on the Moon" in which actor Jim Carey portrays the late Andy Kaufman. It uses an array of other sources from publications such as Rolling Stone and Bill Zehm biographical title "Lost in the Funhouse." One of the main characteristics of Kaufman was that he was an archetype. Kaufman's problem was that didn?t know where he fit, especially in the world of entertainment. He just wanted to bring the world to his world of fun and fantasy.
From the Paper "After watching Man on the Moon (1999), starring Jim Carey portraying the late comedian Andy Kaufman. I wasn"t sure what aspects of Jung's theory to use. Kaufman was such a flamboyant character that I didn"t know where to begin Most of the people who worked with Kaufman described him as a genius; I personally think he came a bit before his time. Judd Hirsch Kaufman's co-star on the hit sit-com Taxi said, ?his genius was something akin to what I can only describe as designless illussion.? It's funny he used the word illusion, to describe Andy because that is the impression I got after I watched Man on the Moon for the first time. I think he meant that Andy lived in his own world of illusion, because when I watched the movie for the first time, there was a bit too much for me to take in all at once. When I first saw the movie I noticed that Andy displayed bizarre behavior for a man in his field. Kaufman had an array of characters that he used to entertain crowds. All these characters are personifications of an archetype, one of the aspects of Jung's theory that I am going to use to analyze Andy Kaufman's personality."
Abstract Championed by directors Jean Luc Godard and Franחois Truffaut, the French directors were seeking to justify their own individualism as an answer to the lifting of the quota on American Films after World War II, which led to a flood of big budget Hollywood films into French movie houses. The paper shows that the French directors, unable to compete with the flash and panache of Hollywood, pointed out that individualism made their films stronger. They therefore annointed John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock and Hawks as the patron saints of the auteurs. This paper examines how Hawks' films, use of actors and apolitical emotions made him worthy of the French title.
From the Paper "Hawks refused to be limited by labels, he refused to succumb to functional fixity. His most serious films have bits of humor and he was not adverse to turning a drama into a comedy or for that matter into a musical. During his career, though he got a "feel-good" award for lifetime achievement, he received few nominations and no Oscars during his career. Yet, he was one of the few directors who, productive and successful before the Second World War, remained commercially and artistically successful after the war. And when it comes to crossing genres his success to date is unparalleled. He was equally at home in comedy, westerns, aviation films and war dramas."
