Abstract
This paper illustrates the life of Alberto Giacommeti from his early beginnings and his influences in art. Alberto Giacommeti is generally recognized as one of the greatest sculptors in modern art. Perhaps more than any other modern artist he used sculpture to make comments on modern existence. Straddling both pre-World War II and post-World War II culture, his sculptures were a revelation. Giacommeti was able to incorporate all the aesthetic and philosophical movements of his time and create work that was exciting and unique.

Abstract
This paper explains that the poor children, who are the main characters in Alberto Florentino's play "Oli Impan", mispronounce the lyrics of the song "Silent Night", which represents the image of the savior imprinted upon them. Next, the author analyzes the play using Erik Erikson's theory of psychological development and theories of capitalism. The paper concludes that this play does not reflect the breakage of the architectural metaphor nor does it portray a workable solution to the problems of the poor; therefore, it is a non-Marxist text.

From the Paper
"Another social ill presented in the play is the lack of education for the poor. The two main characters are both from poor families and hence they are both deprived the opportunity of going to school. This lack of education is the main reason why the boy could not pronounce his words properly and is also the reason why the girl has no ability to criticize the boy's lyrics. She even sang along with the boy not knowing that she too is getting the song wrong. Education plays a big role in society. It is supposed to be free for all and must be standardized. Yet, due to the rising capitalist society, education has become a privilege, a competition and even a big business interest."

Abstract
This paper first examines the societal, political and cultural factors in Argentina that coalesced to create a foundation upon which nationalism could blossom and then looks at how Alberto Williams' music helped inspire further feelings of nationalism amongst the citizens of Argentina. Consideration is also given to Argentinian art and its effects on nationalism.

From the Paper
"Generally speaking, the term nationalism is used to describe a sense of identification which individuals within a society or culture share regarding their state of residence. Most countries are characterized by this identification to some degree or other and Argentina is no exception. However, if one considers the fact that Argentina has been an independent country since 1810, what is striking is how long a true sense of nationalism took to fully blossom (Douglas). Specific to the topic of this paper, Alberto Williams was not born until 1862. Furthermore, his music would not have been able to affect the listeners in his country until he reached adulthood and was able to actually compose it. Then one must consider that the music would have had to have been accepted by Argentine society and then disseminated across a wide enough area of the country where it could actually have any sort of influence."

Abstract
The paper describes the case where the defendant, Angel Raich, sued the Attorney General for declaratory and injunctive relief, on the belief that the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 was unconstitutional. The paper summarizes the facts of the case and the legal issues involved. The paper provides an argument that the defendant clearly violated the law, regardless of the necessity defense, and Constitutional rights were not breached or encroached upon when the Government was only doing its job of enforcing the law.

From the Paper
"Marijuana has been outlawed in the United States of America since 1970, with the passing of the Controlled Substances Act. Marijuana and all other types of controlled substances consumed by society were subject to classification, into 5 separate "schedules" with Schedule V containing the controlled substances less likely to be abused and the reverse for Schedule I, where marijuana is classified. Specifically, marijuana is deemed a Schedule I controlled substance because it is found to 1) "have a high potential for abuse"; 2) that the substance "has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States"; and 3) "there is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision." What should be focused on in this provision is, again, that there is NO currently accepted medical use in the United States. While Ms. Raich will argue that this practice of using marijuana was suggested by her own physician, we must not confuse one doctor's firm belief for the otherwise contradictory beliefs of other doctors, who have not pushed to make medical marijuana approved as a reliable medicinal option. She is therefore, breaking the law, a federal law at that."

Abstract
The author focuses the paper's analysis on the incorporation of irony into the story, and explains how irony serves to develop the theme and emphasize the important points Rios wishes to make. Specifically, the paper explores how the symbolism of the secret lion, the grinding ball, the arroyo, and the golf course reveal the ironical discoveries adolescents make when they leave their youthful perspectives behind and look at the world with new understanding.

Abstract
This paper discusses the work of Alberto Giacometti, a Swiss painter and sculptor of the twentieth century. He was known for his beautiful statues of human figures but there is a lot of controversy surrounding the source of some of his sculptures including the "Invisible Object" that he produced in 1934.

Abstract
The following brief paper will look at the model - this writer prefers to call it arc - of maturity in two stories: Alberto Alvaro Rios,' "The Secret Lion," and John Updike's, "A&P". In the first of the two stories, the boys learn that they cannot remain children forever - something that, in truth, they have understood on an intuitive level for some time. In the latter story by John Updike, maturity comes Sammy comes to the stark realization that actions have consequences and that quitting something, anything, will have repercussions for people besides himself. In a real sense, the characters in Rios' story come to understand that there is a hierarchy in the world and that things will not always be as they wish them to be; in Updike's tale, Sammy learns that - as, presumably, his generation will learn - that defiance has its costs.

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the short story by Alberto Rios entitled, "The Secret Lion." The paper focuses on the incorporation of irony into the story and explains how irony serves to develop the theme and emphasize the important points Rios wishes to make. Specifically, the paper explores how the symbolism of the secret lion, the grinding ball, the arroyo and the golf course reveal the ironic discoveries adolescents make when they leave their youthful perspectives behind and look at the world with new understanding.

From the Paper
"In conclusion, Alberto Rios incorporates irony into "The Secret Lion" in a number of ways as this coming of age story unfolds, primarily through the repeated use of symbolism. Irony serves the purpose of emphasizing and dramatizing the journey adolescents make into adulthood and reveals how this maturing process changes their perspectives forever. The boys learn to their disappointment that nothing is perfect,
and that nothing is permanent. But this lesson brings wisdom, and ultimately, acceptance. Ironically, the only thing they can really count on to be permanent is the process of change, for people and things always change, and always will."
