Abstract
The paper looks at how Cantor stated that modernism in the early 20th century "cared little for history; it was in fact hostile to it" (35), and according to Cantor, modernism called on a "shift in thought...from the big to the small, from the general to the particular" (35). The paper relates that Cantor expanded on this idea by stating that modernism in art included many of the art forms found in "pop art", although this period of art is primarily considered post-modernism (35). The paper discusses how Cantor contends that much of the pop art of the 20th century was initially believed to be "vanguard art" that was not taken seriously (35), however, as time progressed society began to accept this art form as one that focused on the "particulars" of society and that further pop art expressed that "everything was meaningful" and that in some way, all things were tied to something else" (35). The paper explains that Cantor contends that the most prevalent of the pop artists of the 20th century were Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein (35). The paper explains that these artists focused on elements of every day life that spoke of the time in which they lived and mundane pieces of existence, such as Brillo boxes and soup cans were the central focus on their art. Furthermore, the paper explains that these artists had the view that by creating these images in their own personal fashion that they were asking the viewer to relate those items to their lives, thereby making a comment on particular facets of life (Cantor 35).

Abstract
This paper provides a biographical sketch of Alexander Graham Bell. Instead of being a straightforward recounting of events, it highlights the serendipity that accompanies the inventor at various and key stages in the development of the telephone. For example, the paper shows how Bell's idealistic effort to help the deaf propelled him into the field of electromagnetic sound transmission in a fortuitous way. The paper also highlights Bell's native genius in invention and his unwavering devotion to his cause. Finally, the paper summarizes Bell's contributions in other fields, and also points out some of his faults, like his belief in and contribution towards eugenics.

From the Paper
"The life of Alexander Graham Bell demonstrates the serendipity that accompanies the genius of the inventor. He is most famous for the invention of the telephone, yet he lacked the requisite scientific knowledge for such an invention. Surveying the situation in the middle of the 19th century, it appears that there were many people far better qualified than Bell to come up with the telephone - for example, Elisha Gray, Thomas Edison and William Thompson. Bell's one advantage was his outstanding dedication. His original goal was to enhance the field of elocution. Both his grandfather and father were eminent elocutionists, and Bell aimed to shine in the family tradition. Another crucial factor was his mother's deafness, and Bell's work in mechanical elocution was largely aimed to help his mother, or the deaf and dumb in general. Therefore, we see that Bell was inspired in a lofty way, and this made it possible for a teacher in elocution to end up becoming the inventor of the telephone, even though he lacked the necessary scientific background."

Abstract
The paper explores how it is possible that an organization like Taco Bell performs so well in terms of profitability, locally and globally. To address this question, the paper focuses on the challenges Taco Bell faces in three key business areas: staffing, training and compensation. The paper analyzes each area and offers a plan or recommendation for how Taco Bell may overcome challenges it faces in each of the three business areas.

From the Paper
"Fast food chains across the country have become synonymous with a number of less than flattering images: poor service and unhealthy food. The other image that exists in the minds of millions, which is often not publicized is satisfaction. There is a reason that fast food giants like McDonald's, Burger King and Taco Bell are among the most profitable businesses in the nation - they satisfy a consumer need at a reasonable price point. There is an assumption in business that it is necessary to invest in employee training to increase employee loyalty, satisfaction and productivity (Barrick, Stewart, & Piotrowski, 2002). If this assumption is true, the success many fast food chains afford becomes somewhat of a conundrum."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the origins of the Second World War and the concept of Thirty Years War as argued by P.M.H. Bell in his book "The Origins of the Second World War in Europe". The paper relates that according to Bell "We live still in the shadow of the Second World War." The paper argues that this statement cannot be overemphasized and the understanding of the origins of this historic event is demanding our attention.

From the Paper
"This paper will provide an analysis of the origins of the Second World War and the concept of Thirty Years War as argued by P.M.H. Bell in his book "The Origins of the Second World War in Europe". According to Bell "We live still in the shadow of the Second World War." This statement cannot be overemphasized and the understanding of the origins of this historic event is demanding our attention. Bell's introductory chapters are particularly thought provoking. First the author weights all the conflicts in Europe before the "official" start of the World War usually accepted to be the German- led invasion on Poland..."

Abstract
This paper explores the character of Esther Greenwood in Sylvia Plath's "Bell Jar." The paper focuses on Esther as a woman and discusses gender roles, their causes and their repercussions. The paper argues that Sylvia Plath speaks out in "Bell Jar;" publicizing the effects of society's maddening restrictions placed on women.

From the Paper
"Through her narrative, Esther was continually at battle with the social definitions of women. However, she ultimately does not want to transgress the boundaries by being overtly sexual like Doreen nor does she desire to be the overly masculinized, independent career woman Jay Cee is."

Abstract
This paper examines the Taco Bell E. coli outbreak, asserting that green onions may not have been the source of contamination after all. The paper concludes with an emphasis on the difficulty of determining the causes of such outbreaks.

From the Paper
"Since the beginning of human agriculture some twenty thousand years ago there have been countless instances of people being infected by produce contaminated with bacteria viruses and other microbes. Until the takeover of small individual farms by huge corporate agricultural conglomerates in the last half of the ... th century most outbreaks of food poisoning were localized. But today... of America's beef is produced by just four companies,... of pre-cut salads come from only two corporations and a third of our national milk supply is produced by..."

Abstract
This paper examines three reviews of "The Bell Curve" by Herrnstein and Murray. All three reviewers denounce the lack of scientific rigour in the authors' use of the concepts of intelligence and race, and correctly demonstrate the racism of their assumptions.

From the Paper
"In Harvard, professors Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray published a book entitled "The Bell Curve: Class Structure and the Future of America." While the authors coyly disavowed any racist intent, the book is essentially an ideologically driven unscientific tract that claims with no valid evidence that race, intelligence and social class are all intrinsically linked. If one is to judge from the three reviews I have consulted. "In Intelligence and Ideology A Review Essay of The Bell Curve" reviewer John C Culbertson gives the..."
