Abstract
This paper examines two poems: Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas and "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams. The paper explains that both poems are dependant upon their form to transmit their meaning, mirroring and reflecting one another in the interplay of interpretive possibilities and authorial intentions. The paper points out that the strict formal structure of "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" reflects the inevitability of death while amplifying the speaker's emotional experience, transcending the particular and engaging the universally human. The paper then looks at how "The Red Wheelbarrow" draws its formal structure from its object, re-presenting a complex image constructed from an interaction and synthesis of its components which resonates within the reader. The writer concludes that viewed as such, these poems illustrate the manner in which form is able to insinuate meaning into the events of life.

From the Paper
"The four mentioned 'types' of men in the five middle stanzas of the poem, though they have unilaterally failed to 'lighten' the 'dark' with their brands of enlightenment, are exhorted to yet rage against death and not accept it inevitability. The words of 'wise men' could not spark understanding in the masses, the deeds of 'good' men could but 'dance' a moment upon the overwhelming waters of this dark world, and the 'wild' men embraced the light of the sun to merely 'grieve it on its way' ineffectually. The fifth stanza sees those 'grave men near death' whose perceptions are cleansed by their reality also being called upon to abandon their joyful acceptance of inevitable death ( a poignant reflection of the acceptance of natural cycles the traditional pastoral would embrace) and also rage against this diminishment of life. Such an imploration asks an inversion of the traditional associations of light and darkness in that it glorifies this 'rage' as the light which dispels the darkness of death, as opposed to the calm acceptance."

Abstract
This paper explores the problem of unauthorized wireless access, and the challenge of restricting wireless access to only those who have paid for it. The paper explains that enforcement is particularly difficult because of the myriad methods of obtaining access, from the relatively simple means of using IP address scanners to the more sophisticated approaches to amplifying free signals. The paper concludes that the ethical dilemma of the installers lies in continually providing service despite knowing the signals can be freely used by anyone; even more troubling is the chance dishonest neighbors can access the PC of the person who is paying for the service.

From the Paper
"Often the ethical dilemma is that the technician knowingly installing an unsecured connection because it is more efficient and takes less time, and in some cases, is seen as retribution to their companies for what they perceive as a lower than industry wage. In general the technicians, even on service calls, appear to be rushed and overbooked for their appointments from personal observation. In addition to the ethics of the Internet provider over-scheduling their technicians also need to be considered in any ethical analysis of this situation. Clearly if ethical use of WiFi networks is to be achieved, more thorough training and evaluation of installers is needed."

Abstract
Scientific studies and conventional knowledge both suggest that as the rich get richer, the poor in American society are getting poorer. This essay explores the ways in which class is recreated in each generation using the works of Shellee Colen, Carol Stack and Barbara Ehrenreich. It focuses on the roles of gender and race in America.

From the Paper
"These economic responsibilities in addition to legal restraints prevent West Indian women from being able to bring their own children to the United States when they first arrive (Colen 1995: 80). Instead, children are left with extended foster families in the women's home countries. Consequently, West Indian immigrants commonly mother the children of wealthy American families instead of mothering their own. Meanwhile, cultural assumptions about the value of reproductive labor degrade the perceived importance of this role, resulting in exceptionally low wages (Colen 1995: 87). Many Americans see West Indian women as ideal candidates for this position due to weaknesses derived from their poverty and immigrant status (Colen 1995:81, 88)."

Abstract
This essay first looks closely at the symbol of the blue flower which is central to the novel of the same name written by Penelope Fitzgerald. Close scrutiny is made of the transformational love relationship between Fritz and Sophie. Next comes a study of the lovers in "The English Patient" by Michael Ondaatje followed by a comparison of the two relationships. This comparison reveals how the two sets of lovers in the two novels each experience the true opening of self to the most intense inner experiences possible.

From the Paper
"The meaning of the central symbol around which The Blue Flower by Penelope Fitzgerald revolves expands even further when studied in relationship to The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje. The historical subjects about which Michael Ondaatje and Penelope Fitzgerald write are quite distant from each other in time and place. Fritz's attachment to Sophie and Hana's relationship with Kip are vastly different, and yet there is are elements of similarity. For each of these couples, when their individual lives come in contact with each other, something, happens-- something big, something life changing, something that, looking back at the end of a lifetime, might be described as having made all the difference. This something might also be called human growth."

Abstract
This paper defines Martin Luther King's speech "I Have a Dream" as a rhetorical situation because it definitely amplifies the nature of the situation by providing a formal definition and examination of its constituent parts. The author points out that a rhetorical situation requires that the discourse move the audience to produce change; King's discourse produced change by influencing the decisions and actions of the persons who function as mediators of change. The paper states that the reaction to King's discourse has been quite possibly the most far reaching response in the history of not delineated within the confines of religion.

From the Paper
"Some of the Rhetorical Situational discourse displayed in the King speech has several recognizable characteristics or features. For example, rhetorical discourse is called into existence by situation when the situation which the rhetoric perceives amounts to an invitation to create and present discourse. The clearest possible evidence of this is present in the case of the King speech and within the presentment of his discourse. The strongest and clearest instances of rhetorical speaking and writing are strong invited - yea, often demanded as in the case at hand. The Civil Rights movement had begun to slow as many involved were just plainly being worn down by the constant and unrelenting forces against them."

Abstract
This paper describes an experiment in which DNA was extracted from the organism Caenorhabditis elegans to be amplified and electrophoresed. The author reports that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used in the experiment to amplify the DNA and after electrophoresis was finished, a photograph of the gel was obtained. The author also explains that the migration distance of the bands was measured and a graph of the molecular weight of the bands was created. The paper states that this process allowed the isolation of homeobox genes, which are of great importance in many different organisms for patterning and segmentation.

From the Paper
"When it comes to unlocking the mysteries of organismal development, it all comes down to genes. However when genes are to be analyzed, a little is often not enough. This is where polymerase chain reaction (PCR) comes into play. PCR is a powerful and fast method, for which the ultimate desired outcome is the amplification and quantification of DNA "from a minimal initiating amount in vitro.
In order for PCR to occur, template DNA is first denatured. Annealing primers, or often degenerative primers which use every possible codons for unknown DNA sequences."

Abstract
This paper begins with a discussion of the relevance of ethics and social responsibility to both marketing and operations activities. The author looks at theories used to make ethical decisions, and how the issues at stake are the environment and human quality of life. The writer then reviews the relationship between marketing and total quality management, which is used to amplify the effectiveness of an organization requiring absolute employee participation. The author looks at widely recognized key characteristics of TQM systems.

From the Paper
"Ethics and social responsibility have always been critical issues in both marketing and operations activities. However, recent accounting scandals and bankruptcies involving high profile and well-respected companies such as Enron, Global Crossing, PG&E, WorldCom and numerous others have renewed interest in ethics and social responsibility. Social responsibility is the concept that business is part of the larger society in which it exists and must therefore act in a way that not only advances the firm, but also serves the society. More than ever firms are being challenged to integrate social responsibilities in to their operations. Numerous firms now believe that social responsibility to be a lot more than granting money to community groups or volunteering their time to organizations - although these are both important ways that firms support the community."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Marshall McLuhan's book "Understanding Media", which describes and explains media and cultural transformations. This paper reviews the first seven chapters of his seminal book, which contain his central ideas on mass communication and contemporary culture. The writer explores McLuhan's comparison of media to anything that amplifies or intensifies a human faculty and that extends man's reach and increase in efficiency.

From the Paper
"McLuhan's conception is expressed in the seemingly simple statement, "The medium is the message." He offered different views of what this meant, but it basically relates to the idea of persuasion in that he believed that the medium itself changes people more than the sum of the messages of the medium. How we communicate is as important as what we communicate, if not more important. McLuhan relates the different modes of communication to different human epochs, and the most effective means of persuasion shifts in each epoch according to the prevailing technology."

Abstract
This paper looks at how modern energy services are not available to 2.5 billion humans. Access to energy service aids economically by permitting longer hours for income generating activities, increasing job opportunities by allowing alternate uses of energy and decreases dependence on developed countries. While the writer of this paper agrees that availability of energy will ultimately contribute to a nation's comparative advantage, he argues that if access were provided in the form of fossil fuels, this would promote rapid global warming and amplified air pollution. A large number of controversial opinions related to global warming, pollution and the need for renewable energy sources are mentioned in this paper.

From the Paper
"From August 26 to September 4, 2002, representatives from 190 nations including 104 Heads of State and Government, 700 companies including 50 CEOs, 9,000 delegates, 8,000 NGOs and 4,000 members of the press attended the World Summit on Sustainable Development , which took place outside of Johannesburg, South Africa. The last time leaders of the world met to address such issues, was 10 years ago in Rio de Janeiro. Although participants of the Rio conference had good intentions, not much has been done since that time to stabilize or reduce concerns."

Abstract
This is a summary of Aristotle?s Nicomachean Ethics that emphasizes Aristotle's big influence in the world of ethics. His work amplifies and analyzes the concepts of many ethical issues. Since his book is divided into ten books, this term paper is also divided into 10 different, complete summaries.

From the paper:

"All knowledge and every pursuit aim at some good. Happiness is directly related to living well and doing well. Happiness is a complete and sufficient good. Most people associate happiness with pleasure. A life of pleasure is what man seeks out. There are three prominent types of lives: the pleasure life, the political life, and the contemplative life. The contemplative life is one, which practices the best activity. The best activity brings perfect happiness. The contemplative life is by far the happiest life. Aristotle explains that the good of anything is to perform its characteristic activity well."
