From the Paper
"The rise of multiculturalism has elevated writers to prominence from racial and cultural groups who formerly would have had difficulty even being published in the West. Lost in the ethnic shuffle has been one of America's most invisible and voiceless minorities; poor, mostly rural, whites. Variously smeared with racist epithets, such as redneck or white trash, the trials and tribulations of this population have not had a major writer voice their concerns since the death of novelist John Steinbeck."

Abstract
This paper presents, in the form of a case study, general background information about Addison's disease. It describes how the patient develops Addison's disease, its symptoms and the testing that is done in order to determine in the symptoms are caused by Addison's disease. The paper presents a differential diagnosis for the patient and discusses the potential cures and treatments for the disease.

From the Paper
"Modern day research can be presented to Skyla, and she can be reassured by the fact that there are many scientist and researchers working to find a better and shorter term cure for the disease that she is apparently suffering from. Anti-inflammatory or corticosteroid and immunosuppressive, or in other words, cyclosporine treatment and drug therapy is the method that is being used extensively today to treat autoimmune diseases. However, research is being conducted on how to improve the treatment methodologies, and thereby offer more benefits to the patients of these diseases. Future treatments of these diseases, like for example, Addison's disease, would probably include better and more sophisticated methods of treatment, which would be completely based on today's modern day understanding of the human immune system. Some examples are anti-idiotype antibodies, antigen peptides, anti-IL2 receptor antibodies, anti-CD4 antibodies, anti-TCR antibodies, and so on. Today, both experimental as well as natural animal models are being made just for the purpose of developing a better understanding and comprehension of the autoimmune system of the human body.

Abstract
The paper examines how, in a series of essays in "The Spectator," Addison provides some contemporary commentary on the life and times of the English. It provides a discussion concerning the author's attitude toward his subject matter, as evinced in his essay in "The Spectator," No. 69, on the subject of "The Royal Exchange", in order to determine how and whether modern attitudes might differ from their early 18th century counterpart. The paper concludes with a summary of the research.

From the Paper
"Today, while the "Mahometans" may still be wearing clothes of Western manufacture, it is more likely that they are wearing textiles that are made in China. Furthermore, it is unlikely that Addison could "go back home" if he was to revisit the Royal Exchange's modern equivalent today. Instead of friendly gatherings of international merchants meeting in smoked-filled rooms in good faith, he would likely encounter hot spots of social protestors, especially Islamic fundamentalists and ethnic youths who have become disenchanted with the British concept of equality and democratic process."

Abstract

The paper looks at how the authors explain business cycle recessions and depressions, their discussion about the Internet bubble and burst, and some of the guidelines the authors offer to the potential investor.

From the Paper
"The idea of a "soft depression" may seem oxymoronic to the reader's eye, much like "jumbo shrimp" or "a sure return" on your investment. A soft depression, however, is not another economic term a downturn in the economy less onerous upon the population than a "hard depression". Rather a soft depression is a depression that is based in a multitude of historical and demographic as well as economic factors that can cause a growing instability in the economy over time, rather than a quick, harsh decent into economic misery. In fact, a soft depression, quite unlike a "soft fall" is often much worse in terms of its ramifications than a short, sharp shock of a quick depression, much like drowning rather than a death by a firing squad, to use the type of metaphorical language so beloved by the authors William Bonner and Addison Wiggin of Financial Reckoning Day: Surviving the Soft Depression of the 21st Century."

Abstract
This paper demonstrates how eighteenth century moral essays by Steele, Addison and Swift have views and/or precepts that are still relevant and applicable to contemporary times and issues from greed to homelessness.

From the Paper
"Morality often evolves or changes over time. Abortion once a major social stigma is now a routine practice by many. Homosexual marriage once largely unthinkable from a moral standpoint in society is now sanctioned in law by five states. Thus while the moral essays of Steele Addison and Swift all touch on morals in one way or another they were all written approximately three centuries ago. It may be that the views or precepts offered by these authors have little relevance to issues ..."

Abstract
This analysis uses James Sutherland's "Some Aspects of Eighteenth-Century Prose" to argue that these aspects of eighteenth-century prose are apparent in the writings of Johnson, Addison, and Swift.

From the Paper
"James Sutherland offers a number of aspects associated with eighteenth-century prose from Addison's middle style that has good manners and is in range of the average mind to Swift in whom thought and feeling are often intense and even passionate. In comparison the styles of Steele Johnson Addison and Swift the aspects of eighteenth-century prose highlighted by Sutherland appear to be valid. From use of emotion and passion to absence of entertainment and conversational tone a number of aspects will be addressed. This analysis will ..."

Abstract
The Restoration Period (1660), Romantic Period (1786-1837) and the Victorian period (1837-1901) are characterized by distinctive styles which are reflected in the art, architecture and literature of the period. This paper examines literature from these periods to explain the manners, customs and driving forces behind the society of that time and to capture the essence of the society. The paper also highlights the most important changes that took place during the time periods.

From the Paper
"The Victorian Era represents a return to order and materialism. Although there was a return to the principles of organized religion, there was also a movement that sought to critically examine the contents of the Bible. Here is a primary conflict between a desire to return to order and the need to be scientific in this approach. The works of Thomas Carlyle reflected the desire to return to a more ordered classic era and he wrote his works in the style of the epic poems of the classic Greek and Roman periods. The Victorian era represents a desire to return to a more elegant time in every aspect of life from the literary style to the furnishings of the house. It also reflected a decadence and desire to show off the newfound wealth of the era. Carlyle's works were religious satires and were often called heresy by some. However, it would seem as if Carlyle felt that these critics did not truly understand the depth of his work and he continued to write in this style."
