Abstract
Suspense in movies can be characterized as "state of uncertainty, anticipation and curiosity as to the outcome of a story or play, or any kind of narrative in verse, prose [or film]". The anticipation and uncertainty generally revolve around a sympathetic character that audience likes and can feel for. Thus it can be said that suspense must have two sides: the first is the story design as an emotional prompt and the second is a feature of the mind.

Topic #3: Suspense in Films Suspense in movies can be characterized as "state of uncertainty, anticipation and curiosity as to the outcome of a story or play, or any kind of narrative in verse, prose [or film]". The anticipation and uncertainty generally revolve around a sympathetic character that audience likes and can feel for. Thus it can be said that suspense must have two sides: the first is the story design as an emotional prompt and the second is a feature of the mind.

"The twenty participants were required to complete an anagram task in a set time of 12 minutes within the mere presence of the other participants. (Task 1.) They were then required to complete a similar anagram task with the object of evaluation. (Task 2.) The results showed that the mean number of correct answers was significantly higher in the anticipated evaluation task than in the mere presence task."

Abstract
According to Andrea Dworkin, self-denigrating social behavior is learned behavior and used by women to survive in a sexist world. In Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, there is no evidence of this type of behavior. In fact, Ma Rainey habitually anticipates outcomes based on her assessment of current situations and her knowledge of race relations. Because of her assertive and secure personality, she is not only prepared but compelled to confront sexism and racism. In addition, learned behavior for this woman does not refer to the early socialization process but to life experience which allows her to take a proactive approach to situations. Ma Rainey is always aware of the possibility of exploitation and knows that she is in a potentially inferior position because of her race and gender.

Andrea Dworkin's Thesis about self-denigrating social behavior being learned behavior and Ma Rainey in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and Carol in Oleanna According to Andrea Dworkin, self-denigrating social behavior is learned behavior and used by women to survive in a sexist world.

Abstract
The following paper is a brief ethnographic overview of a one-hour observational exercise I conducted of the Santa Monica Pier on the 17th of March, 2009 between 3:30pm and 4:30pm. I chose this particular site because I anticipated that the pier would be a perfect place to see all sorts of men, women and children interact with one another in an environment that is fairly crowded and frenetic.

Anthropology: A Field Observation The following paper is a brief ethnographic overview of a one-hour observational exercise I conducted of the Santa Monica Pier on the 17^th of March, 2009 between 3:30pm and 4:30pm. I chose this particular site because I anticipated that the pier would be a perfect place to see all sorts of men, women and children interact with one another in an environment that is fairly crowded and frenetic. As far as the setting goes, I chose the busy Playland Arcade because it appeared to be a huge attraction for young people - and also for their parents, who were invariably dragged along. As far as the arcade goes, it actually resembles

Abstract
This paper analyzes the deeper significance of Irvng's story "Rip Van Winkle" and shows in what ways the story epitomizes the American artistic sensibility, and at the same time anticipates the general character of American literature that was to follow it. The paper also examines Irving's particular blend of neo-classicism and Romanticism, through which he forges a distinctive character for American literature.

From the Paper
"The satire falls on politics in general, and we realize that Irving's sympathies lie elsewhere. As a young man Rip had no interest in home life, and he has equally no interest in the partisan politics of the new republic. However, a great change has been effected in the meantime, and we sense that the change is for good. We may not discover the good in the political sphere, but it nevertheless exists. Rip finds peace at last living in the company of his married children and his grandchildren. The means through which he has attained this peace is his trip to the Catskill Mountains. This is where the Romantic element enters the story, and leaves its stamp finally. All the good has come about due to his foray into the mountains, his mingling with the strange forest dwellers, his drinking from the flagon, and his twenty years of sleep under a tree. The episode in the Catskill Mountains is in complete contrast to everything else in the story. "

Abstract
This paper examines succession management and how an organization anticipating massive retirements can successfully plan.

From the Paper
"An organization or aging municipal workforce that faces huge numbers of retirements is at risk for a variety of serious problems--the loss of vital intellectual capital, organizational destabilization and disruption in continuity, being three of the most salient. If the organization's talent and experience leave and there is no one in line that has been trained and informed to replace them, disaster can result, the company's essential processes may suddenly become unsupportable. Organizational destabilization can occur both at the structural level and in terms of morale. A severe..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides a research proposal involving a topic dealing with communication, with the field of media studies specifically in mind. Mass communication audiences are under discussion, and from that the research topic was chosen. The topic involves the researching of the reality television phenomenon, with specific focus on South African television in terms of various factors, allowing the researcher the possibility of developing further understanding and academic work on a subject that is relatively new and still falls into the 'unknown' category. The writer concludes that it is visible that the South African reality television analysis is a necessary research study that should be conducted for many reasons, not least of which is the furthering of knowledge involved with broadcasting, communication and the mass media audiences.

From the Paper
"It is important to understand what gratifications are actually sought after and obtained in order to further understand the theory. This may be further explained by looking at McQuail's 'Typology of Gratifications Sought and Obtained'. In this typology he names four gratification categories that the public media choices fall into. The first category is information, meaning that the audience exposes themselves to the media product in order to be informed."
"The second category in the typology is that of personal identity. A viewer of the Big Brother program may seek gratification in terms of personal identity by reinforcing personal values regarding sexual abstinence that are echoed in the reality program or by identifying oneself with a featured role model in the show. A third category discussed in the typology is that of integration and social interaction. This category deals with the need people have to be part of a society and have a sense of membership or belonging. McQuail's final category in his typology is entertainment. The need for entertainment may be sought out to divert one's attention from life's problems and struggles or simply to fill time. This is specifically visible in the case of reality television. The gratification model is made up of three processes."

Abstract
This paper looks at the role that the media plays in portraying and delivering news with special reference to the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Towers. The author argues that the way the media depicts news creates a situation in which reality becomes indistinguishable from film making. The media's use of techniques such as slow motion, repetition, development of characters and formation of anticipation in the audience in delivering news, is so similar to the way films are made, that to discern between boundaries of the media and real life becomes impossible.

From the Paper
"The Spectacle of horror, which took place on September 11th 2001, has left daunting unforgettable memories in the minds of all on lookers. The events of that day influenced so many individuals because of the vast reach of the media in our day-to-day lives. What happened on September 11th 2001 leaves many believing that real life has become indistinguishable from the movies. The increase in media control has taken off with in the cultural industry over the last 30 years. Televisions became mainstreamed into the family home in the 1970's with the invention of colour TV. These days more then 11 million Canadians have cable television. The mega trend of corporate capitalism in the post-industrial world has 7.5 million households online. Hollywood and American cinema account for the 2nd largest product surplus in North America. Ironically before the September 11th 2001 tragedies top grossing industry was the Airline Industry. Both the film and airline industries have seen drastic declines in profits since September 11th 2001."

Abstract
This paper uses the first book of Charles Dickens' novel, "A Tale of Two Cities", as an example of how Dickens uses a number of literary devices, including personification, to foreshadow the approaching struggle. Several times in this first book, personification is used in anticipation of the coming Revolution.

From the Paper
The first chapter in "Recalled to Life" is called "The Period," in which the state of both France and England in the year 1775 is presented. Included in the description of France, a young boy is badly tortured and then killed for not kneeling before a procession of monks walking by at a far distance. The author then writes, ?It is likely enough that, rooted in the woods of France and Norway. . . "
