Abstract
This paper proposes that Internet addiction, or Internet Dependence/Abuse Disorder, is a new DMS-IV, Axis I mental disorder. The paper cites symptoms of the proposed disorder which are symptomatic criteria for Internet Addiction.

From the Paper
"The proposed DSM-IV disorder to be discussed in this report is Internet Addiction or Internet Dependence Abuse Disorder. Symptoms of this proposed disorder include tolerance or a need for markedly increased amounts for time spent online to gain the same satisfaction, withdrawal or anxiety, psychomotor agitation, excessive thinking about what is happening on line when not on the Internet and craving or accessing the Internet more often or for longer periods of time than was intended. Other objective symptoms include unsuccessful attempts..."

Abstract
This paper explains that art in pre-War and post-War European Axis countries, in particular Germany, was diametrically different. These differences were largely a result of societal conditions. The paper also explains that pre-War art primarily took the form of propaganda and craft but that after the war, with the exception of Russian art, the art of the Axis countries changed as a result of the influence exerted over them by the west and their own desire to rejoin the brotherhood of nations.

From the Paper
"The figures in the art, whether supposedly gallery art or poster-propaganda art, were supposed to be admirable 'native' figures of whichever nation was producing the art. The style was supposed to relate, also, to previous artworks, although, "In Soviet Russia, however, the whole notion of the 'aesthetic' was rejected as a bourgeois anachronism and was gradually replaced by the evolving theoretical criteria of Socialist Realism." Images of these works come readily to the mind's eye; almost cartoon like, oversized, over muscled figures in plain clothing operating large machines, for instance. "Triumphant was the Holy Trinity of peasant, worker and warrior. And from the very summit of this blasphemous altarpiece shone down the spirit from which all power was derived: the quasi-divine presence of the Leader himself" (Elliott, 1995), at least in Germany."

Abstract
This paper will seek to understand the new development of the "Axis of evil" that has been coined by the new President Bush. By understanding the competing views on this very serious political statement, we can understand the Party platforms that are being created in the disagreement on the how to view the Middle Eastern world. By showing the definite problems with this 'axis', we can understand how power plays a large part into the domination that the United States seeks in the oil industry, and can largely be defined though this medium.

Abstract
In his televised 2002 State of the Union speech, President George W. Bush characterized Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as the "axis of evil." An invocation of this type has been labeled as demonizing. This paper defines demonizing in terms of Raymond Kelly's hypothesis about the origin of war in his work, "Warless Societies and the Origin of War," as a social practice in relation to the development of a social doctrine of social substitution. It describes how it has been used in contemporary times and suggests likely reactions and consequences to President Bush's coining of the term, "axis of evil".

From the Paper
"Demonization is the process whereby individuals, groups, organizations, or national leaders portray others in ontological in a suspicious, nefarious, corrupt, frightening, or immoral light. Demonization is ontological, that it, it is human nature to do so under times of duress and fear.3 Actions and ideas also subject to demonizaion. Spoken and written words, pictures, caricatures, theatrical or film portrayals, cartoons, and protest actions constitute the demonization substance. Those demonized represent a wide spectrum, ranging from politicians like Cambodia's Pol Pot pictured as a monster who oversaw the killing of millions of his fellow Cambodians, Saddam Hussein pictured as a despot who employed nerve gas against his own people and publicly called a "world menace" by British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, or Germany's Adolph Hitler who unleashed what was the most heinous barbarism known in history, as well as promoters of ideas like Malcolm X, who at one time advocated formal Black and White racial separation etc."

Abstract
The paper attempts to gain qualitative insight on the nature of the psychiatric community's levels of inattention to the treatment of the Axis II disorders. The paper explains that current research is limited regarding personality disorders so a group of researchers planned to publicize the need for research of personality disorders. To best capture the reaction of the therapists on the matter, the research team conceived a plan to commission a thirty-person focus group of therapists, licensed in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. The paper describes the study in detail.

From the Paper
"In an exhaustive research effort the researchers associated with this cause found that most of the current research was limited regarding personality disorders. The literature was sparse in comparison to issues related to the Axis I psychological disorders, such as the Mood disorders (Coccaro, 1989). However, in the current journal articles that were published the majority of the information was on Borderline Personality disorder, with little convincing claims regarding the disorders effective treatment options (Staurt, Pfohl, Battaglia. Bellodi, & Grove, 1998). There are fourteen personality disorders listed in the DSM TR V (American Psychiatric Association. 2000) and the research has led to a small number of articles on illness such as Schizoid affective disorder, Narcissistic personality disorder, and Histrionic personality disorder, to name a few. Of the three hundred and fourty-six studies currently sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health, two studies are related to personality disorders. Thus, the claim that there is a gap in the research of the treatment modalities for personality disorders."

Abstract
This paper reviews the five axes and associated diagnoses for four characters in the Disney movie 'Beauty and the Beast'. The paper provides associated treatment plans. Diagnoses range from hystrionic as demonstrated by the Beast, to narcissistic as demonstrated by Gaston to Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) for Belle to Dependent as evidenced by LeFou, Gaston's sidekick.

From the Paper
"When Linda Woolverton wrote the screenplay for Walt Disney's movie 'Beauty and the Beast', her grand cast of characters portrayed a wide variety and range of different personality types. Consistent with Disney movies, many of the personalities displayed take various personality traits and portray them as extremes. As such, Disney movies make an excellent source from which to study personality disorders. According to the research, personality disorders are displayed through maladaptive, inflexible and antisocial behavior as evidenced by the way a person thinks, feels or behaves ("Personality Disorders").

Abstract
Food production plays a critical role in the development of people because more consumable calories means, quite simply, more people (Diamond 88). In the case of Eurasia, the continental axis meant was orientated east-west and thereby permitted Fertile Crescent crops to quickly "launch agriculture over the band of temperate latitudes from Ireland to the Indus Valley and to enrich the agriculture that grew independently in eastern Asia" (Diamond 185). Unlike the Americas, Eurasia's axis provided it with the "widest band of land at the same latitude, and hence the most dramatic example of rapid spread of domesticates" (Diamond 186).

Abstract
This paper analyzes a research article by Herman et al. from 2003, showing that appropriate regulatory control of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) stress axis is necessary for health and survival, and they then conduct a review of documents on the extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms responsible for the process of regulating the stress-responsive CRH neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus.

The researchers note that appropriate regulatory control of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) stress axis is necessary for health and survival, and they then conduct a review of documents on the extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms responsible for the process of regulating the stress-responsive CRH neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus. These processes summate excitatory and inhibitory inputs through a net secretory signal at the pituitary gland, allowing for..."
