Abstract
This paper discusses how the legend of King Arthur has existed in various forms, passed down from generation to generation to be a dominate part of western literature and society almost fifteen hundred years after Arthur supposedly lived. The story of Arthur and his knights has been told in plays, artworks and even video games; the latest reincarnation being "Tomb Raider: Legend". In order to discover why this story is continually retold, the paper goes back to its inception and looks at its various versions throughout history.
From the Paper
"While Geoffrey of Monmouth's history had been written with the Anglo-Norman kings in mind, the French romances that came next were perhaps aimed at the female audience, queens in particular. With the classical stories of Ovid and Horace as their guidebooks, the French writers added on to Geoffrey's writings and brought the Arthurian legend into a new transition, with a purpose of retelling for the sake on entertainment through courtly love and lust (Miller 146). More characters were added and stories of the Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot love triangle, by their nature were written and retold to include women, most prominently, Eleanor of Aquitaine and her daughter Marie de Champagne. Miller compares this to a modern soap opera: "when damsels in distress suffer succour, a glamorous champion comes ... Formula fiction multiplies easily" (Miller 146). "

Abstract
This paper examines how the ethical difficulties involved in the case of Enron and Arthur Anderson, the accounting firm that had been responsible for auditing Enron accounts, are both numerous and overreaching. From the initial process of setting up the special purpose entities (SPEs), to the accounting bias fueled by large fees that Enron provided to Arthur Anderson, it looks at how the failure to testify truthfully about the Enron scandal in a court of law, showed a lack ethical decision making.

"The ethical difficulties involved in the case of Enron and Arthur Anderson, the accounting firm that had been responsible for auditing Enron's accounts, are both numerous and overreaching. From the initial process of setting up the special purpose entities (SPEs) to the accounting bias fueled by large fees that Enron provided to Arthur Anderson, to the failure to testify truthfully about the Enron scandal in a court of law, participants showed a lack ethical decision-making. Freeman, in his stakeholder theory of business ethics, argues that businesses do bear social responsibilities for their actions. This paper will examine the actions of both companies against the strictures of the stakeholder model of ethics. "

Abstract
The paper relates the contents of an interview with Arthur Stanley Eddington: "When I began work at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, it was widely accepted that stars were akin to individual particles of a stationary gas, moving randomly and without any collective motion. It was also believed that the sun moved through the stars "and hence imparting to their apparent motion a systematic shift, which it was the job of observations to quantify"; at the same time, the idea that galaxies might exist was little more than bold speculation."
From the Paper
"What is your full name? My full name is Arthur Stanley Eddington. When were you born? When did you die? How old would you be today?

Abstract
This paper discusses the ethical handling of the Enron case by audit firm Arthur Andersen.
From the Paper
"For many years, Arthur Andersen was the gold standard in the auditing and accounting sector, widely known as having the highest level of professional integrity while still representing the financial interests of its clients within the limits of the law and to the best advantage of clients. In later years, however, as the cases of the Baptist Foundation of Arizona, Sunbeam, Enron and Waste Management, all clients of Andersen, whose accounting and auditing practices were ultimately proven to have obfuscated the reality..."

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion and analysis of "Death of a Salesman" and Arthur Miller's essay "Tragedy and the Common Man." The works are analyzed in light of the contrast between great expectation and tragedy. Willy Loman is considered as a tragic hero.
From the Paper
"In 'Death of a Salesman' the scale of ambition that Willy Loman has for himself and his family is shown in decline and discredit burdened and sullied by the cares of the world. According to Miller, tragedy enlightens and it must, in that it points the heroic finger at the enemy of man's freedom. In 'Death of a Salesman' the enemy appears to be capitalism. If one accepts Miller's statement that the hero's destruction in the attempt to evaluate himself justly posits a wrong or an..."

Abstract
This paper details David's historical success in gaining power and unifying the people of Israel. This paper also discusses David's complex character that learns from each experience and recognizes the value of keeping promises and honoring alliances. The author of this paper examines Deuteronomy's theory that David's rise to power and unifying the Israelites was simply because he was appointed by God to do so. This narrative offers a steady path of intellectual growth and self-awareness that would contradict a strict Deuteronimistic interpretation.
From the Paper
"However, David also takes his men into battle against other tribes, and does not shrink from wiping out entire populations because he does not want survivors to spread the word that he has restricted his attacks to Canaanite peoples. He has also been building his own wealth with booty from his conquests. In addition, he takes two wives, Abibail, the wife of Nabal and Ahinoam of Jezreel."

From the Paper
"The word "political" implies the operation of things relating to the government. "The Crucible," "The Dutchman," "Vinegar Tom," and "M. Butterfly" all explore Western society's view and treatment of sex and the ways in which the Western shame of things sexual becomes transformed into political misconceptions and persecution. Three of the plays address the way white Western men use sex to satisfy themselves and create an image of themselves that grants them power. Necessarily, men's use of sex requires the use of women as sexual objects. In the fourth play discussed, "The Dutchman," the playwright address the political ramifications of sexual interplay between blacks and whites.
However, these plays also demonstrate that for the..."
