Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the anti-aging product Relastin Skin Revitalizer. According to the paper, this product is designed to promote self-esteem and confidence through a look of youth, but the manufacturers neglect the important fact that age is not simply a visual concept, but a physiological fact of life.

From the Paper
"As McCarthy points out, there are numerous things human beings do to fight the signs of aging. From taking melatonin, DHEA, antioxidants, and other vitamins to using anti-wrinkle creams and hair restoration products, humans spend vast amounts of money on trying to slow aging (McCarthy, 549). But as Hayflick notes, all cells flourish and divide as living cells for a specific period of time, but eventually, these processes stop and the cells die. The only cells in the human body to continue reproducing endlessly are cancer cells (McCarthy, 547). Thus, regardless of what products one uses to slow the signs of aging, the aging process continues without fail."

"What determines the won or lost category for those cells in our bodies is what we take in our bodies as food; "Their sole source of energy is the food you give them," Carper continues, and the latest and best research available validates the "long-held human wisdom that food does have medicinal powers."
Indeed, since the emergence of human civilizations, people have relied on "forests, fields and gardens" for our medicines, and roughly 75 percent of the people in the world still do rely on the forests, fields and gardens for their sustenance. Carper alludes to the wisdom of James Duke, a botanist and specialist in medicinal plants with the U.S Department of Agriculture, who believes that "if a food has a wide folklore reputation as a remedy for specific diseases," that in itself provides "some proof" of that food's "potential validity" (Carper, 5).

Abstract
This paper discusses the many uses of oxygen for anti-aging and health benefits. These include its promise as a potential cure for cancer. The many forms of oxygen are also examined.

From the Paper
"Oxygen is one of the most vital elements for health and beauty. Our bodies require it for respiration, healing and detoxification of skin, reducing inflammation, strengthening elastic fibers and collagen and providing a healthy antibacterial environment. (OxyMega Spa Facial System) Since disease-causing bacteria and viruses are nearly all anaerobic, meaning that they cannot survive in an oxygenated environment, an oxygenated environment promotes health and healing. (McCabe) These attributes of oxygen make it a much sought-after product for use in spas and beauty farms. In recent..."

Abstract
This paper explains that, as the graying of America grows, so does the industry aimed directly at keeping these older people at least looking young. The author discusses the "beauty" companies including the men's anti-aging business, dentists, plastic surgeons, hundreds of books of healthy eating and vitamin supplements. The paper relates that a major fear of getting older is the loss of one's mental capacity because, with the discovery of Alzheimer's disease, the journals and newspapers constantly remind aging readers about the dire effects of losing one's mental and physical capacities and ending up a near-vegetable, subject to the care of family or long-term facilities.

From the Paper
"Want to live longer and be in better physical condition? Now there are books out suggesting hypnosis, both self-hypnosis and going to so-called professionals. The idea is to learn to relax, to literally "think" unpleasant thoughts, such as aging and looking it, out of your mind. Obviously, there are those who believe self-hypnosis can work. "As you relax more and more...the relaxation causes all the muscles and nerves in the affected area to become completely relaxed...your body feels....completely free from discomfort." (Goldberg, p. 184) One can shrug one's shoulders and say, "whatever works for you." Unfortunately, no matter how long one lives, aging will occur, in some people sooner, in others, thanks to medications and surgeries and more attention to diets, longer."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of an anti-smoking ad, examining the ad's visual impact and the larger meaning behind it.

From the Paper
"In the anti-smoking ad, an old woman appearing to be in her eighties is lighting a cigarette from the flame on her birthday cake candles which say ... and the caption says "Smoking Causes Premature Ageing". These candles are burning down, hinting that the woman's years of life are ebbing away quickly. Although the cake has the words 'Happy Birthday' written on it, in icing these words are largely obscured by the prominent candles indicating that age is trumping the happy in 'Happy Birthday'."

Abstract
This paper examines the writings and critiques of anti-utilitarian and anti-practical philosophers Arnold, Newman, and Pater. The paper explains, compares, and analyzes each philosopher's arguments against the pragmatism and utilitarianism of the Victorian age and explains why Matthew Arnold's critique of utilitarianism was the most scathing of all.

From the Paper
"The Victorian era in England gave birth to Jeremy Bentham's utilitarian philosophy of social governance, to the scientific philosophy of Darwinism, and to the application of scientific principles to social philosophy in the form of Social Darwinism. Perhaps this scientific and methodical era, an era that oversaw the full flowering of the Industrial Revolution's stress upon machinery into the transformation into the human body and mind as a machine-like worker drone, inevitably spawned a kind of counter-revolutionary philosophy and ethos for the age namely the idea and ideals that cohered and evolved over the course of the Oxford Movement, the Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic movement, and finally coalesced into the austere vision of the poet and philosopher Matthew Arnold."

Abstract
The paper reveals the findings of studies that anti-depressants have a much lower efficacy rate than previously thought. The paper then deals with the studies that look at the effects of anti-depressants on teenagers. The paper relates that there are three major side effects on teenagers; the actual increase of suicidal thoughts, an increased chemical dependence on the drugs itself and the long-term damage to brain and neural development as a result of the use of anti-depressants at a young age. The paper praises the trend of doctors recommending extensive therapy to teenagers with emotional problems and severe depression rather than prescribing anti-depressant medications.

From the Paper
"In the increasingly technology oriented world, the use of "miracle" drugs to cure every societal ill has become the norm. However, the problem with reliance on drugs rather than other secondary means is that there are often times side effects that occur from extended drug abuse that results to something worse than even the original problem. For the past two decades the use of popular anti-depressant drugs have become the normal method of treating suicidal or severely depressed teenagers. The practice which initially started as a test experiment has gained wide popularity among psychiatrists and doctors everywhere because it appears to decrease their inclination to suicide and limit the problems attributed to severe depression. However, the use of these drugs does nothing to fundamentally stop neither depression nor anything other than a temporary solution for permanent problems."

Abstract
This paper shows, through the work of the Bishop of Speyer in the 11th century, how though individuals during the Middle Ages were full of good intentions and tried to protect the Jews, in reality their actions added fuel to the anti-Semitism already rife in Europe. By allowing Jews to lend money, purchase gold, and the right to slaughter animals and sell them to the Christians, the problems of the time were heightened. The paper includes a discussion on the use of walls in Jewish history, used to keep Jews in and the other citizens protected and out. In Bishop Speyer's time, the purpose of the wall is to not only surround the Jewish populace, but also keep them out of the city. This means they also have to protect themselves from external violence. The paper finally discusses the Crusades and the resulting massacres of the Middle Ages.

From the Paper
"When first hearing about the decree made by the Bishop of Speyer made in 1084 that offers a place "out of town" for the Jews, it sounds relatively harmless if not positive. However, it is necessary to understand what is occurring behind the scenes that makes this a negative and harmful "gift and concession."
"The Bishop of Speyer says that he will bring in the Jews and place them outside the town away from the rest of the citizens and surrounded by a wall. This will be given to them on the condition that they pay 3 1/2 pounds every year. In addition, they have "full power to change silver and gold and to buy and sell what they please" and a cemetery with rights of inheritance. They can sell slaughtered meat, which they cannot eat, to Christians. This Jewish group will also have its own law, with the Rabbi hearing cases between Jews or against them. "But if by chance he is unable to decide any of them they shall go to the bishop or his chamberlain." They need to guard their own area. Lastly, they have the same privileges as other Jews in Germany."

Abstract
This paper explains that German playwright Bertolt Brecht and English poet Wilfred Owen were both deeply personally impacted by war and both felt the need to express their anti-war sentiments and beliefs in their work. The author points out that, in Owen's anti-war poetry, war has destroyed an age of innocence; he express frustration about (1) innocent soldiers hardened by war and eventually killed in many cases, (2) the attitudes of civilians back home and (3) the way many simply ignored the tragic nightmare of the war. The paper relates that Brecht's perspective on war is similar to Owen's in that he is very anti-war; however, his perspective differs because he does not view civilians as ignorant but rather as interested in prolonging the war for their profit.

From the Paper
"Owen's poem appears to be inspired by the many deaths of soldiers he saw each day in the trenches of war. He starts the poem off, describing innocent young men being sent to war like cattle are sent to slaughter. He abandons his original views of war as heroic and glorious, and describes it as one large funeral where young soldiers are not given a proper goodbye. Instead of the typical church bells that are sounded when someone dies under ordinary circumstances, there are only the sounds of gunshots when a soldier dies, he writes."
