From the Paper
"According to Morris, Pepper's use of the term "contextualism" first occurred during 1932, where he referred to John Dewey's pragmatism. According to this philosophy, context refers to the influence of history and the changing context of meaning. What this means is that a specific time frame produces specific effects in behavior. Thus, a perception of behavior in African-American males during a specific time frame influences behavior in their peers. Drug use among young African American males is then to be analyzed according to the context of broader influences than merely the family. This is particularly relevant in a world that has become increasingly globalized by developments in technology and trade. The world beyond the immediate boundaries of city and country has become immediately accessible by means of the Internet, e-mail and cellular technology."

Abstract
This paper discusses four articles that deal with homelessness in America. It looks at the topic of article, the methods of research, and the results of the assessments. The articles analyzed are: ?Health Status of Homeless and Marginally Housed Users of Mental Health Self-help Agencies,? by Carol Silverman (1998); ?Patterns, Predictors, and Situational Contexts of HIV Risk Behaviors Among Homeless Men and Women? by Donna P. Whitson (1998); ?Tracking Change in Psychological Distress Among Homeless Adults: An Examination of the Effect of Housing Status? by Yin-Ling Irene Wong (2002); and ?Mother-Child Separations Among Homeless and Housed Families Receiving Public Assistance in New York City? by Kirstin Cowal, et. al. (2002).

From the Paper
"The researchers focused on mother-child separation and evaluated maternal factors that might contribute, such as the presence of substance abuse, major depression, history of institutionalization in psychiatric hospital or jail, or involvement with a partner who abused the children in some way. This study had a large sample -- 543 women. 25% of participants reported that they had been separated from their children at least at some time. Homeless mothers were more likely to experience this than housed mothers at a significance of p < .05. This study looked in great detail at correlational relationships between separation of child and mother and various life stresses including mental illness, substance abuse, and removal of children by child welfare services."

Abstract
This paper explores the various similarities found when profiling serial killers. The writer of this paper contends that most serial killers had less-than-ideal childhood and most likely experienced one or more of the following incidents throughout the most crucial stages in their development: Incest, abuse, divorce, adoption and neglect. This paper delves into "The Right Man Syndrome" which is defined as male's irrational need to have total control over women. This paper also discusses depression which is a common condition found in most serial killers as well as the lack of emotional response which results when these killers continue on their murder sprees.

From the Paper
"Third on our trip through the serial killer's mind is the home of another trait found in some cases of their dark, terrifying minds. This is a psychological trait exhibited only in a few male serial killers, but is there none-the-less. It is called "The Right Man Syndrome". This syndrome is basically a male's irrational need to have total control over a woman, a need to believe they are God's gift to women, and they also cannot handle being proven wrong. If these criteria are not met, the male will most likely erupt into a furious rage, taking it out on anything, or anyone, around him. While a man with this syndrome may cheat on his wife, she must not cheat on him, or she will trigger one of there outbursts. In turn, he may take this rage, which can be a deadly one, out on the next female stranger he comes across."

From the Paper
"Of the three industries that comprise the U.S. General Merchandise Stores Sector, only Big Box Retailing shows growth between 2008 and 2013 according to industry research services including IBIS World (Sampson, 2008). Industry analysts predict that Big Box Retailing will grow 3.6% per year from 2008 - 2013 (French, 2007). The growth of Big Box Retailing is seen as countercyclical to fuel pricing and the uncertainty consumer's sense about gas prices, the economic and their jobs. Growth of this sector overall and Wal-Mart specifically is being driven by the reliance on these stores by middle-class consumers who live paycheck to paycheck and look to Wal-Mart to assist them in keeping their budget balanced (Birchall, 2008).
Industry Profitability
Big Box Retailing will support the revenue and profit growth of U.S. General Merchandise Stores Sector during the 2008 - 2013 timeframe due to the operations efficiencies Wal-Mart and its competitors are investing in. Foremost of these operational efficiencies are the increasing reliance on ERP systems, distributed order management and the adoption of RFID throughout their supply chains (Boarnet, Crane, Chatman, Manville, 2005)."

Abstract
In his text, "The Aeneid", ancient Greek writer, Virgil, frequently referred to Aeneas as "The True" because of how Aeneas always remained true to his faith in the gods. This paper expands on Aeneas's sacrifice of happiness and love as he devotes his entire life to the will of the gods.

From the Paper
"Helen had become what was comparable to a plague. Even though killing Helen would not end the war, it would remedy what started the war initially. Her death would be vengeance for all who had died as a result of the war, and in turn all of whom Aeneas was friends with. Though Aeneas knew that there was no honor in killing a woman, the desire to kill someone so scorned by both the Trojans and Greeks was nearly uncontrollable. Jealousy started the war and blood-lust was going to end it."

Abstract
This paper examines Realism and Naturalism movement and how Mark Twain, Henry James and Stephen Crane captured the spirit of their times. The author discusses how writers sought to preserve a distinct way of life threatened by industrialization, immigration, the after effects of the Civil War, and the changes in society. The paper focuses on three books, The Adventure's of Huckleberry Finn, Daisy Miller, and The Open Boat.

From the Paper:

"Writing periods have certain characteristics that mark them as unique. Local Color, Realism, and Naturalism are no exception, but they also have one thing in common. Just as a facet of a jewel reflects whatever light it may receive, so too do the works of Mark Twain, Henry James, and Stephen Crane reflect a distinctive aspect of their time period."

Abstract
The thesis is divided into eight sections that appear as follows. The first section investigates key concepts from Adlerian psychology that are pertinent to the analysis of Clinton's life. The second section explores major events from Clinton's early, formative years-events that an Adlerian analysis would indicate are critical for understanding how the former president developed his unique approach to life. The investigation also provides an exploration of Clinton's possible mistaken beliefs and their formation in his early childhood. In addition, the research examines Clinton's painful earliest recollections and how his interpretation of organ inferiority pushed him to over compensate in his life. Adlerian tools of birth order are used to examine how Clinton's position as an only child/firstborn within his family affected his unique approach to life. In addition, the research provides an exploration of how the painful experiences of childhood neglect, like those that are reflected in Clinton's experiences with his stepfather Roger Clinton, and his mothers leaving him at a young age to study nursing, might contribute to the development of what Adler characterized as neurotic tendencies. The writer also applies Adlerian insights to explain the role of Family Hero in Clinton's life and its later impact on his adult life and presidency. The seventh and eighth sections explore how such a brilliant leader and popular president could give his enemies the ammunition they wanted by continuous sexual infidelities. Finally, the thesis explores the accomplishments of Bill Clinton and the Adlerian principles ultimately helped him succeed.

From the Paper
"The examination of American Presidents has fascinated Americans for many years. In recent years, the life of William Jefferson Clinton has been a particular point of interest. The purpose of this thesis is to describe, analyze, and discuss the private and public lives of Bill Clinton in congruence with the psychology of Alfred Adler. Assorted characteristics of Clinton's unique approach to life will be discussed and analyzed, and the study will recognize some political processes and outcomes. The discussion will not take a political stance on Bill Clinton; instead, it aims to recognize that his style of leadership was a result of his lifestyle. In order to describe and analyze Clinton impartially through the lens of Adlerian psychology, the thesis will identify all facets of Bill Clinton's character. For this reason, the thesis will evaluate the difficult circumstances in which he was born, and both the good and negative aspects of his early family life. Additionally, the thesis will reveal that although the former president had major struggles to overcome he managed to more often than not embody the crucial Adlerian qualities of equality, balance of power, gender equality, cooperation and social interest."

From the Paper
"By the end of act II, Hamlet has doubts about the ghost. Did his father come back to right a wrong or is it a devil urging him to do evil?Compelled to confirm the ghost's testimony, he arranges to have a local troupe reenact the murder before the court in order to test Claudius' reaction. Hamlet, completely controlled and rational says: I'll have grounds More relative than this. The play's the thing Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King." And his suspicions are confirmed, but still he delays the execution of Claudius. He even refuses to kill the king, when opportunity presents itself and the king is at prayer. Hamlet questions the very nature of humankind. He extends his mistrust to everyone, including Ophelia and his friends from school."
