Abstract
This paper discusses the accomplishments of B.F. Skinner. The paper discusses the psychologist's history, particularly focusing on the fact that he has accomplished all that he has in psychology and behaviorism without actually studying psychology. The paper describes Skinner's interest in the behavior of animals and humans that led to his work in behavioral science.
From the Paper
"The Accomplishments of B.F. Skinner "Skinner is the most important American psychologist of the twentieth century, and arguably the most important world psychologist since, or including, Freud," yet he never directly studied psychology (Smith, 1999, 1). B.F. Skinner obtained his college degree in literature. He never took college courses for psychology, yet his gift of understanding behavior has made him famous as a behavior psychologist. His interests in behavior of animals or humans led to his vast amount of work concerning behavioral science. Skinner wrote a number of books and articles that continue to be important in the field of psychology. B.F. Skinner found the behavior of organism fascinating and began to study how animals reacted to different stimuli. Skinner changed the meaning of psychology, which is the study of humans. "

Abstract
The paper examines the works and life accomplishments of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). Hildegard was a notable medieval Christian Abbess and founder of the convent at Rupertsberg. The author discusses her contributions to philosophy, theology and science.
From the Paper
"Many of the works of Hildegard stand as examples of primitive attempts to derive a rational explanation for the world in which she lived. She strove to provide a coherent philosophy of the material universe within the context of the Middle Ages. Her life was a time when matters of science, philosophy and theology were thought of as inexorably interdependent. Although her conclusions may appear grotesquely incorrect in comparison to modern standards, we must be careful not to underestimate her intellectual merits. There is great beauty and power to be found within her ecstatic mystical works, despite the absence of any modern scientific foundation."

"The issue of Women's Rights has, today, become extremely important and relevant, and everywhere, all over the world, women are demanding for their rights, and everywhere, women are indeed getting empowered by the laws that grant them these rights and make it possible for women to have a certain degree of power and independence and human rights.

Gestalt therapy is a holistic form of therapy that emerged from Gestalt theory in the 1800s.

Used primarily in group sessions, Gestalt therapy is guided by awareness, which is significant for the person, the group members and the therapist. Yet, to fully understand the details associated with Gestalt therapy a history of the theory and an overview of the practice must be considered.

Abstract
This paper provides a review of the relevant literature to determine the extent to which the war on terrorism has accomplished its stated goals compared to the manner in which American hegemony was advanced in the process. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington DC and the consequent war on international terrorism have created the need for fundamental changes in defense policy. Although the terrorist acts were directed against the US, they were the catalyst for a reassessment and redefinition of the security policies by practically all states and major international security institutions. Because the war on terrorism is unique on historical annals, the proliferation of such multiple centers of power provides a convenient tool for advancing U.S. hegemony. In fact, many critics suggest that it is no coincidence that the goals of the war against terrorism today mirror the stated foreign policy goals espoused by the Republicans long before September 11, 2001."
