Abstract
The following paper is an analytical review of the text, Suicide: A Study in Sociology. The review highlights the ambitiousness of Durkheim's monograph and how he was breaking new ground by applying statistics to the study of suicide commission in late-nineteenth century Europe. However, the text suffers because Durkheim is unable to draw any meaningful or rock-solid conclusions from the data he collects because he simply lacks the statistical sophistication to do so.

Analytical Review of the Book, Suicide: A Study in Sociology The following paper is an analytical review of the text, Suicide: A Study in Sociology. The review highlights the ambitiousness of Durkheim's monograph and how he was breaking new ground by applying statistics to the study of suicide commission in late-nineteenth century Europe. However, the text suffers because Durkheim is unable to draw any meaningful or rock-solid conclusions from the data he collects because he simply lacks the statistical sophistication to do so; the book puts forward plenty of interesting possibilities but they are never explored because Durkheim is unable to quantitatively measure the relative impact of different factors

Abstract
The writer relates that his starting point in approaching the theme of analytical approaches to gender and violence is that he does not consider violence to be an inexplicable aberration. Instead, the writer believes that violence is an essential part of the patriarchal system; just as capitalism cannot exist without some unemployment, the writer thinks that patriarchy could not exist without violence directed by men against women.

'My starting point in approaching the theme of analytical approaches to gender and violence is that I do not consider violence to be inexplicable aberration. Instead, I believe that violence is an essential part of the patriarchal system. Just as capitalism cannot exist without some unemployment, I think that patriarchy could not exist without violence directed by men against women. From my feminist perspective, violence against women is an integral part of our patriarchal society, indeed as important to the maintenance of the existing status quo as more acceptable things, such as families or laws."

Abstract
This paper explains that Cubism is the process of passage from a bar-baric dis-symmetry to an advanced abstract geometry. The paper then looks at how the the term analytical Cubism refers to Picasso and Braque's work of 1910 through early 1912 and how the term synthetic Cubism refers to their work of later 1912 through 1914. It also examines the objective contributions of Picasso and Braque to the development of modern art, particularly towards abstraction.
From the Paper
"By 1909, Picasso, working in close collaboration with Georges Braque, had invented Cubism, a kind of painting more sculptural than any before, since it presented simultaneously more than one view of the subject. Indeed, Picasso had definitely renounced the traditional chia roscuro - the technique of evoking three-dimensional form by reproducing the way that incident light plays across it, producing a sequence of highlights and shadows. Picasso apparently considered chiaroscuro a "dishonest" way of representing three-dimensional form; he therefore turned to faceting as a means of describing three-dimensional form without using conventional shading. After the dematerialization of form in Impressionism, and the flattening of form in Post-Impres sionism, this restoration of a sense of sculptural solidity (without a return to conventional real ism) was a major achievement.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that examining 'Oedipus the King' in terms of character, plot and theme, it is evident that these elements are presented primarily through carefully crafted dialogue and speeches featuring effective words, phrases, and literary images. The writer discusses that this type of dramatic approach enabled ancient Greek playwrights like Sophocles to stage their plays in a convincing manner while meeting the immediate challenge of entertaining their audiences.

Abstract
This paper compares and analyzes two poems about death that were written almost three centuries apart. The reviewer believes that the poems "Death be not Proud" by John Donne and "On Death, without Exaggeration" by Wislawa Szymborska demonstrate the beliefs of two different generations on the topic of death. The reviewer further describes the former as condemning death's pride, and the latter as mocking death's frailty. "Death Be Not Proud" speaks of death as a subtle reality of life, whereas the modern-day poem "On Death, without Exaggeration" criticizes the imperfection of death.
From the Paper
"Donne goes on to say that death is similar to natural rest or sleep. "From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be" (1453) implies that every time a man falls into sleep, he is performing an innocuous practice for the experience of death; however, death remains a part of life from which no one is exempt. Death, inevitable as it may be, is an assurance of Donne's believe that there is a supreme destination after death. It is a component of humanity and causes the poem to reflect a reverence toward and optimism about death."

From the Paper
"In Sylvia Plath's autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, the main character's mother plays a controversial role in the story. When Esther Greenwood falls into a life-threatening depression, her mother is not the usual, supportive parent - causing the reader to wonder why the mother acts the way she does. But analyzing the justifications for Mrs. Greenwood's behavior is complex. The reader is torn between blunt criticism and subtle understanding of the mother's role. While on one hand it seems inappropriate that Mrs. Greenwood is so cold, it is also apparent there are some noteworthy explanations for her behavior. Realizing Mrs. Greenwood may be downplaying her daughter's illness in a desperate attempt to maintain a happy front is an integral part to analyzing the mother's role. Another valid justification for Mrs. Greenwood's curious attitude is simple ignorance. Given the time period The Bell Jar was written in, depression was not widely known as the serious and blameless disease we now know it as. Hence, Mrs. Greenwood plays a complex, controversial role; the reader easily realizes Esther's mother is cruelly withdrawn from her daughter, while at the same recognizing there are some factors to consider when analyzing the mother's role."

"Analytical Comparison of China's Newest Economic Regions:
Special Economic Zones, Open Cities, and Open Coastal Areas
Introduction
In 1978, the People's Republic of China took the first steps on a long path that would switch the world's largest nation operating under a Communist system of government to the world's largest nation attempting to operate as a new economic concept -- a socialist marketing economy. Since then, China's economy has truly modernized and embraced many of the concepts of economic geography, including creating a societal infrastructure that accepts capitalism. The reform process has affected all sectors of the economy (Roberts & Clifford, 1997, 54).

Abstract
This paper is about the underlying themes of Naomi Klein's best-selling "No Logo" (2000), the "book that became a movement," a passionate anti-globalization manifesto. The paper looks at the underlying themes of Fordism and post-Fordism, consumer culture and globalization, and analyzes Klein's arguments while drawing on a variety of sources, both literary, -- William Gibson, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell, and academic --Kennedy & Cohen plus contrasting Klein's socialist agenda with libertarian principles.
From the Paper
"In No Logo, Naomi Klein analyzes the effects of modern advertising on Western society and culture in the late 90s. She argues, for the most part, against its far-reaching effects on everyday life, as well as on the ethical issues associated with the move to a post-Fordist society, where production takes place in third world countries under what is, in effect, 19th century conditions."

Abstract
The following is an essay and analysis on W.V. Quine's central arguments in his work titled "Two Dogmas of Empiricism". In particular, this paper will focus on the argument that maintains that there can be no analytic truths with out some consideration of synthetic variables as well. In short, it is argued that synthetic factors have a determining impact in shaping what we have traditionally regarded as 'analytic'. Thus, a consideration and analysis of what Quine regards as 'analytic' and 'synthetic' becomes a central concern.
