"Leadership is an issue in the films Twelve Angry Men (1957) and Alive (1993). In each case, there is a small group with a specific leader. In the jury room, a foreman is selected as leader, though over the course of the story it is evident that this leader is not strong enough to guide the group. Various others vie for the leadership role, but the one who becomes the leader is one who embodies certain qualities of persuasion along with compassion and an inner strength. In the case of Alive, the group sets out with a traditional leader, the leader of the soccer team, and at first they accept him in that role once their plane has crashed. Later, though, as their situation becomes more desperate, they seek a different sort of leader, one less predictable, less controlled, and more appealing in an impossible situation."

Abstract
The paper explains that prions are proteins that can replicate on their own and become infectious. In addition, the paper discusses how prions "multiply in an incredible way; they convert normal protein molecules into dangerous ones simply by including the benign molecules to change their shape" (Prusiner, 1995).

"Prions are proteins that can replicate on their own and become infectious. Prions are "transmissible and inherited disorders of protein conformation" (Prusiner, 1995). In addition, prions "multiply in an incredible way; they convert normal protein molecules into dangerous ones simply by including the benign molecules to change their shape" (Prusiner, 1995). Prions are the basis of diseases, but it's not a virus, bacteria, fungi or parasite; it's a protein that can infect. Prions penetrate by getting into cells and change normal proteins that's within the cell into prions. As an animated example, Bugs Bunny uses his magic wand to enter Elmer Fudd; Bugs..."

Abstract
The following paper examines the historical period from 1982 to 1997 when the hand-over of Hong Kong to China from British hands took place in fits and starts. Specifically, this essay asserts that the Chinese government in Beijing had no intention of thwarting the capitalism or entrepreneurial spirit of Hong Kong but did seek, through a variety of ploys, to frustrate efforts on the part of British negotiators and pro-democracy types in Hong Kong to establish the foundations for a truly open, free, "western-style" democracy that would protect group and individual rights.

Abstract
The paper chronicles the passing of legislation in the United States concerning mandatory seatbelts in cars and highlights the delays in making seatbelts the law. The paper reveals that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that about 270 lives are saved for every one percent increase in belt use. The paper further reveals that not wearing a seatbelt doubles a person's chances of being seriously hurt in a collision. The paper calls for efforts to be made to continually increase the percentages of people who buckle up for safety.

From the Paper
"Humans are very independent animals. Sometimes it takes them a long time to see the need for action. Seat belts are a perfect example. Volvo actually designed the first seat belts in 1849. Even that early in the automobile's history, the car manufacturer understood the need for seat belts. Time went on: In the 1930s, several American doctors equipped their own cars with lap belts and started urging manufacturers to put them in all new cars. In its history of seatbelts, the Prevention Institute explains that it took another 20 years for the first car, the 1950 Nash Statesman and Ambassador, to install seatbelts. Time went on again. In 1965, about 50,000 people were killed in car crashes, but still no seatbelt laws were on the books. The $320 million highway beautification bill allotted $5 million to figure out ways of getting rid of scrapped cars and $500,000 to study highway safety. Car ads focused on comfort and style, not safety."

Abstract
The paper relates that on October 12, 1972, a chartered Fairchild airliner with a team of young Uruguayan rugby players aboard crashed in the remote Andes Mountains of South America. The paper further relates that of the forty-five passengers on board the plane, thirty-two of them initially survived the violent crash, but some of them had sustained serious injuries. The paper looks at Paul Read's book, "Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors", where he describes how those who survived the crash were immediately exposed to extremely cold weather conditions, and despite rationing the food they were able to find in the wreckage of the plane, they had nothing left to eat by the tenth day of their ordeal.

Abstract
Love is what you make it-how much you invest of yourself in it and how much you sacrifice to keep it alive. I have had bad relationships with people I really loved and great relationships with people I didn't love. Love is a chemical and physical reaction to another person. You can't stop love when it comes and you feel like you can't live without it when it goes. Love is a part of the human condition written about in literature for centuries. There are no answers as to where it comes from or how long it will last. No matter how man tries to control and understand love he will always fail. Love is an energy that just is.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that love is, not surprisingly, one of the most frequent themes in all literary creations and especially in poetry. The writer points out that throughout the centuries, love has been represented in many different ways in poetry, according to the specific aspect that the poets were trying to communicate. The writer then notes that the two poems, 'Variation on the Word Sleep' by Margaret Atwood and 'Alive or Not' by Al Purdy appear to be dissimilar at a first glance, but, upon a more profound examination, the poems reveal a few common elements. While love is certainly the theme of both poems, it somehow seems to elude the reader at first. This is because the poems are somehow atypical: They seem to avoid the intensity of the actual feeling of love and focus on the representation of two dream sequences instead. The writer notes that Atwood's poem translates the author's wish to plunge into the dream of her lover, while Purdy's text relates a bizarre dream in which he is trying to save his wife from an accident. The writer maintains that both poems offer thus a different perspective on love from inside the dream, which focuses on its haunting power, and the way the feeling travels to the subconscious.

From the Paper
"It is evident though that the poem is not merely about sleeping and dreaming. The same is with Purdy's text which is in fact an account of an odd dream. Love is not mentioned in any way, but it is inherent in both poems. Atwood thus speaks about her wish to descend into her lover's sleep, that is, to dive deeply into his subconscious and meet his greatest fear and his greatest grief.
"This is certainly a different way of approaching the theme of love. Here, the union between the two lovers is not an ecstatic feeling, but a submerged, deep sensation. The imagery of the poem is quite very evocative and the tone is rather slumberous and heavy. The scenery depicted recalls a fairytale atmosphere, typical of dreams. The silver branch, the white flower, the boat, the stairway or the three moons are all symbolic dream-elements, signifying the journey or the descent into the dark subconscious state."

Abstract
The following paper provides understanding of the organization, "Alive Hospice", an organization that provides care while the patient enters end stages of disease and then goes through the process of dying. The writer examines what its volunteers provide for the terminally ill patients that it serves.

From the Paper
"In recent decades, medical science has advance to the point that people are living longer than ever before, and with that life comes a quality of life that is enjoyed well into the golden years. For those who are among the living the world is a beautiful place. However, for those whose lives are ending, the world can be a place filled with fear and uncertainty as one goes from doctor to doctor in search of hope and miracles. Then, when they announce the final curtain, that the patient is all out of options and the only path now is death, there are decisions to be made. Many people are afraid of dying in the clinical setting of a hospital, but they are not sure there are options. There are."
