Abstract
This paper is a philosophy discourse on the notions of authentic and inauthentic selves. Largely a question of the existentialist philosophy, the writer takes ideas from well known thinkers, Jean-Paul Sartre, Victor Frankl, and Fredriche Nietzsche. Opening with a brief interpretation of existentialist philosophy, and then continuing on to provide the foundations for authentic and inauthentic notions of being, the paper moves through the arguments provided by philosophers on free-will, choice, and liberty.

Outline:
Introduction
The Authentic Self
The Inauthentic Self
Authenticity, Inauthenticity, and the Concept of Freedom
Conclusion

From the Paper
"As stated by Sartre, the term authenticity points to having a lucid type of consciousness that gives identity to every situation in life. It is taking in--not just the freedom and liberty--but also the responsibilities and risks associated with this state, including betrayal, hardships, distress and humiliation. It is growing over the years and using all events and experiences in order to nurture in knowledge and expertise, especially when it relates to the process of accumulating the desired end result. In forming the authentic self, there is a need to be honest with oneself, and to be driven by the will and power that dictates what a person should do for the fulfillment of his or her dreams and visions."

Abstract
This essay discusses, through the Cohodas and Medina readings, how the concept of "emergent authenticity" affects the tourist industry. First, the concept of "authenticity" is negated through the intrinsic inclusion of "other" cultures, so what we think is authentic might not be, depending on the viewpoint and context.

Abstract This essay discusses, through the Cohodas and Medina readings, how the concept of "emergent authenticity" affects the tourist industry. First, the concept of "authenticity" is negated through the intrinsic inclusion of "other" cultures, so what we think is authentic might not be, depending on the viewpoint and context. Richard Wilk's modernization paradigm discourages the dichotomization of culture, between "old" (primitive) and "new" (western, industrialized). Both readings stress this polarity but strive to use tourism to enrich what we perceive as authentic and to facilitate the trading and building

Abstract
The paper looks at some of the core qualities of music within the black gospel tradition, and necessarily exclude some performances that, though they may be identified as gospel, do not possess these core qualities. The paper explains that this approach privileges performances that are more traditional; much contemporary gospel and gospel crossover will not fit the narrow definition of an "authentic" performance. Nonetheless, there are many more recent recordings that will fit into our definition. The paper discusses some of the elements of an authentic gospel performance, and evaluates some of the performances from our listening list in regards to these elements.

Abstract
This paper discusses ways that an unbeliever could be convinced of the authenticity of the Gospels, including evidence from history and archaeology and the testimony of witnesses. It also discusses "coming to faith in Christ".

From the Paper
"Unbelievers often contest the authenticity of the Gospels based on hearsay from those who contend that the Bible is inaccurate. Thus, it is necessary to provide substantiating evidence to prove their accuracy and to refute conflicting evidence that might prevent unbelievers from coming to faith in Christ. There are three primary avenues of proof that can be helpful in this endeavor-the witness of believable people, the historical record and scientific and archaeological evidence that supports the truth of the Gospel. The witness of believable people starts with..."

Abstract
This paper studies different culture and their absorption into North American culture. It studies cultural justice,by taking a close look at the identity of different cultures. It details where the culture finds its value, what the traditions that make it rich are, and what values are held in the highest value. It defines the term authenticity and studies its meaning with context to North America. It discusses different cultures such as: African-Americans, North Americans, Chines, Italian and more.

From the Paper
"Cultural identity, that which defines an individual's heritage, belief system and values within the larger framework of society, is distinguished by tradition, ritual, language and history. In studying cultural justice, the responsibility to not only understand and embrace cultural differences, but also to discourage and dissuade cultural prejudices, particularly negative ones, one must take a close look at a culture's identity. Where does the culture find its value? What are the traditions that make it rich? What values are held in the highest esteem? There is a tendency, particularly in a multi-cultural society such as ours, for individuals who identify with a particular culture, to shed their ethnic or cultural values and to embrace those typical of the North American lifestyle. Some say this is necessary in order to create a viable North American culture. Others would argue that the richness of various cultural identities is what makes our culture so attractive."

Abstract
This paper explains that authentic leadership, which embraces self-knowledge that does not mind facing personal shortcomings or needed change, is critically lacking, but very needed, in today's global environment. The author points out that leadership development can impart particular skills and provide experiences to learn these skills such as communication, more efficient management and organization, staff relationships and achieving their vision. The paper relates that the primary learning experiences for authenticity in leadership appear to be through experiential learning; therefore, funding of programs that bring together the many different cultures of the world in combination with the many different perspectives and views is very important.

From the Paper
"The evolution of leadership as well as that of the business organization itself has seen many popular methods and procedures in team leading come and go, however there are primary methods of leadership that always come back around to popular use due to their effectiveness. Just as the corporate and business environment has shifted through many phases with methods and procedural evolution there has also been evolution in leadership methods and styles. From the earlier days of the very amoral leaders there have been many corrupt dealings for Enron did most certainly not write the book on this type of business dishonesty."

Abstract
The growing consensus is that the use of authentic materials in the English Language Teaching (ELT) classroom is beneficial to the learning process. The paper shows that, for this purpose, the crucial role played by texts in ELT reading exercises has come under closer examination. Which type of ELT textbooks is more appropriate for present needs: The "authentic" or "non-authentic" reading materials? The paper shows that the trend seems to move away from the grammar-based pedagogic content of non-authentic text in favor of authentic text, which simulates the real world outside the classroom. By working on a "living" language as used by the community, this could give learners the feeling that they are in touch with reality and thus increase their motivation for learning.

From the Paper
"Clayton, Fomo defines authentic texts as "genuine samples of language in use," which are not produced specifically for the purpose of language teaching. This text, sometimes spoken and sometimes written, simulates and uses the language of the real world, which is adapted in the classroom for its relevance to the students' social milieu. The objective is to develop the students' language skills for the real world, and bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and the students' capacity to participate in real-life events."

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of authentic music, stating that many people believe rock music to be more real or authentic than pop music. The paper explains that pop music is more synthetic and without the help of computers, would not sound like it does while rock music is the pure raw authentic talent of the musician. The paper focuses on the music of Eric Clapton to explain its theories.

From the Paper
"Authenticity is a major issue in discourses on popular music, and seems to be the bedrock of the distinction between "pop" and "rock", i.e., whether musicians can be trusted ("rock") or not ("pop"), which comes down to the distinction of whether musicians are "authentic" or "commercial" (Moore, 2002). In these discourses, authenticity is assumed to mean "true to its origins"."
