Abstract
World War One is considered by many to be the greatest war the world has seen. World War One was the first war of worldwide magnitude and its effects on the world are still reverberating today. This paper explores whether the foreign policies of European governments before 1914 contributed to outbreak of the war. The investigation covers the foreign policies of all major European powers, including Germany, Austria-Hungry, Russia, France and Britain.

From the Paper
"Rivalry between Austria-Hungry and Russia was very evident, and could escalate into conflict easily. The breakup of the Ottoman Empire led to both Russia and Austria-Hungry seeking to profit through the expansion. The Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 was not only a disaster for the Ottomans but for the Austrians as well because enemies such as Serbia had raised an army of 200,000. 4 Serbia desired to unite all Serbs including the 7.3 million Serbs who lived in Austria-Hungry with the 3.3 million who lived within the boundaries of Serbia. Serbia had the support of Russia in freeing the Serbs from oppressive empires such as Austria-Hungry. In 1908 the Austrian annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina ended Austro-Russian collaboration and opened an era of suspicion and antagonism."

Abstract
This paper explains that Canada's tryst with a space program began during WWII as part of the defense science operations undertaken with the U.S. and U.K.; however, the Canadian space program program was transferred from military to civilian control. The author points out that the launching of the Alouette-1 research satellite put Canada as the third nation following Russia and the US to design and build its own satellite, and Canada became a world leader in space robotics with the Canadarm which is a remote manipulator system. The paper relates that Canadian citizens are being promised that its governments would not sign any agreement to collaborate on Star Wars if there is any indication that it has been designed for purposes other than defense. The paper states that, however, the Canadian government inches closer towards participation because weaponization of the space will be one of the biggest industrial projects in the history of the planet.

From the Paper
"Canada is likely to pay a political price, if its tries to ignore NMD. Transcending missile defense in general and NMD in particular, a lot of other concerns are surfacing that re unable to be managed by the archaic Cold War policy parameters. The most crucial among them is the budding issue of space control. Extended periods of Canadian policy of opposition of the weaponization of the outer space has been politically feasible under the deterrence conditions of the Cold War. This opposition did not come at a price, since neither the U.S. nor the erstwhile Soviet Union had the strategic need, the technology potential to weaponize."

Abstract
An account of how 1 and 2 Corinthians are related and what their meaning is in the context of emergent Christianity and Paul's view of the social role of biblical texts.

From the Paper
"In order to understand the relationship between 1 and 2 Corinthians, it is important to appreciate their role as foundational texts of the Christian and especially Pauline mission of the apostolic period. They do not present the whole picture of formative Christianity, that is they are not sufficient to explicating it. They are, however, necessary and although each has its particular objective, they achieve more complete resonance to the extent they are considered a unit. That is, because of the circumstances under which the texts emerged which have to do..."

Abstract
"Concepts structure what every human being perceives and how each makes his or her way in the world, also affecting interactions with others. Hence, conceptual systems are "largely metaphorical...what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor" (O'Brien 103). A metaphor is an indirect comparison between two unrelated objects or subjects to suggest that each shares a common quality. For instance, "time as money" is a metaphor relating to organization of behavior regarding "not wasting time," "saving time," and "spending time" (O'Brien 102). Hence, using metaphors is the basis for human behavior and can contribute to contemporary social problems regarding ethnicity and race. Color terminology regarding race has been used in racial classifications for centuries, with Caucasians represented as "white," African Americans as "black," Asians as "yellow," Latinos as "brown," and American Indians as "red." This type of metaphoric categorization reduces all individuals from human beings and unique cultures and ethnicities to narrow symbols of color. These metaphors shape our thinking regarding race and society and how human beings interact with one another."

Abstract
The paper discusses Federico Fellini's movie "8 1/2" as being sometimes slow, a product of great acting, genius directing, and good timing. The paper comments that from the opening dream sequence to the end, no one paints surrealistic black and white imagery as effectively as Fellini. The paper notes that this film stands as his supreme masterpiece among many other legendary Fellini films, but no one has matched its original brilliance. Shot in black and white, the paper finds "8 1/2' an exhilarating, confusing, irritating, and inspired journey into a man's consciousness.

From the Paper
"Neorealistic films established Fellini in the movie world, but the neoralistic tendency to stress the external economic and social situation of characters never really "took" with Fellini. His concern was with the inner world of fantasies, hopes, and fears of his characters. What he did take from the neorealist tradition was the convivtion that movies could be loose and episodic without forfeiting the interest of the audience. They did not have to bound tightly to a central plot. All of Fellini's films are episodic in the sense that they contain sequences of digressions which are stories in themselves and could be viewed independently. In 8 1/2, sequences such as the memory of La Saraghina, the visit to the Cardinal in the bath, or the harem fantasy could stand on their own fairly successfully."

Abstract
The paper analyzes Ruth 3:1-18 in terms of the following: (1) What does the text mean in the setting of Old Testament days? (2) What did the text mean to the writers who collected these writings? (3) What does the text mean today as it is applied in contemporary situations? (4) Find application for your life if possible. The paper comments that the lessons learned from Ruth 3: 1-18 are spiritually important. The story of Naomi and her daughter-in-law, Ruth and also of Boaz is one that sheds much light onto God's love for his children and his provisions for them as well as the posture that the children of God must approach God from in order to best receive those blessings.

From the Paper
" Ultimately, the choice of Ruth was one that had chosen YHWH over Chemosh. While disobedience to God undoubtedly lost Naomi's part in the 'perfect' will of God, God's permissive will allowed the faith and hope of Ruth to integrate into the plan for the Messiah to come in that Boaz and Ruth did marry and a child was conceived and named Obed, who is the father of Jesse, and the son of King David, and it is through this lineage that the Messiah was born. It is worthy of note that Schulz relates that the father of Boaz was the husband of Rahab and this adds great significance to the workings of God in the story of Naomi and Ruth concerning the lineage through which the Messiah was born."

Abstract
The paper provides a synopsis of the New Testament book of 1 Peter. The view of this paper concentrates on who the recipients of this book were, the authorship and finally the social context at the time of writing, based on the contents of the book. The paper notes that Peter, while speaking from his own experience of suffering and hardship, writes to a group of people in pain, giving the reader a deep insight into what it truly means to be a follower of Christ.

From the Paper
"As much as there are evidences to point to the authorship by Peter, there are evidences which disprove Peter authorship. The Old Testament references throughout the letter are referenced through the Septuagint, something a Galilean fisherman would not be familiar with. Peter normally would have had access to the Aramaic translation of the Old Testament (Targum) and would not have had the capability to command the Greek language fluently as it does in 1 Peter. It is also evident that the thoughts of the writer were evidently in Greek culture and language. In addition the text evidences a Greco-Roman language which also would not have been familiar to a Galilean such as Peter. "
