Abstract
This paper discusses how oppression of all forms, whether based on race, sex, or another arbitrary characteristic, by the Humean conception is always morally wrong. It looks at how Hume identifies justice as an artificial virtue that has the sole purpose of restraining individuals' base impulses for the communal benefit. It also argues that discriminatory oppression is unjust because it does not have the import of natural morality, nor is it in the service of the communal interest.

From the Paper
"In the perpetration of psychological oppression, there exists a naturally vicious quality that Humaen principles identify as morally wrong. Psychological oppression, as conceptualized within a feminist framework by Sandra Bartky, is a cruel authority exerted by the force of one's own ideas. Bartky originated the concept to describe the process by which women internalize and perpetuate their subordinate status with a patriarchal society, though it is applicable to any arbitrarily subordinated population. Psychological oppression effectually facilitates the continued acquiescence to an unjust power that resided outside of the self, a power that is the original source and beneficiary of the self-oppressing ideas, such as stereotypes and essentialized inferiority.

Abstract
This paper analyzes five of the most dominant applications that Ingram Micro uses as one of the global leaders in the distribution of enterprise and personal computing software, hardware, and services. According to the paper, Ingram Micro fulfills many functions both for manufacturers and channel partners that comprise its customer base. The paper further reports that Ingram Micro relies heavily on it's information technology systems that are critical for them to manage and grow their business.

Outline:
Executive Summary
Evaluating Ingram Micro's Five Most Mission Critical Applications
Five Mission Critical Systems Analyzed According to Criteria
Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) Systems
Order Management and Online Ordering Including Product Customization System Platform
Pricing Management and Compliance System
Service Lifecycle Management System
Supply Chain Management System

From the Paper
"Managing pricing across product lines, locations including distribution centers, customer groups, contracts, pricing strategies and service programs is admittedly complex and requires extensive levels of integration with accounting, contract management, IMPulse, order management, order capture, and product configuration systems. Pricing is the "hub" of all customer-facing activities in Ingram Micro, and as a result the Pricing Management and Compliance Management System is one of the greatest contributors to the profitability of this distributor. Pricing in the high tech distribution business is constantly changing, with margins often becoming razor-thin in a matter of months versus other industries' years of product maturity. "

Abstract
The paper explores the theories of both thinkers and compares Hobbes' notion of natural rights to Mendelssohn's thinking. The paper maintains that despite chronological and ideological differences, it is possible to argue that Mendelssohn's theory of natural rights was distinctly Hobbesian.

From the Paper
"In order to decide if Mendelssohn was Hobbesian, and most specifically in terms of his theories of natural rights, it is necessary to first be clear on what Hobbes's theory of natural rights was. It has been said of Hobbes that he "founded political positivism on the basis of natural law." (Windolph, ix) And it is not possible to understand Hobbes's theory of natural rights without first understanding his view of the nature of reality. For it is upon this view that he went on to build his theories of political science (of which his theory of natural rights is an integral part). In short, Hobbes's theories of political science were founded upon his understanding of human nature."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Nietzsche and Freud both believed that individuals make decisions based on irrational thought processes. It looks at how Nietzsche recognized irrational thought as natural and normal, and believed that decisions are driven based on the instinctual nature of man to be irrational. It shows how Nietzsche in fact, strongly supported the idea that the instinctual mind of man should be allowed to reign free, so that man can be free and live life to it's fullest without restriction. It also analyzes how Freud believed that therapy and psychoanalysis could achieve a more wholesome and rational decision making process. He felt that society as a whole would benefit from more reasonable and rational thinking, and believed he could teach men to overcome their base and irrational impulses.

From the Paper
"Nietzsche also promoted the concept of nihilism. He stated that there is no morality that could be derived from God or Nature, because "God is dead" and that the old values of truth were lost and not valid (Kreis, 2000). This idea is the foundation for nihilism, the belief that "values are baseless, and that nothing can be known or communicated." (Lexico, 2003). He supported the idea that all previous theories of value and morality should be rejected to make room for future improvement. However, he did feel that man could create his own values and overcome mediocrity by becoming his own master and being true to himself and no other (Kreis, 2000). This was very common among supporters of nihilism, the belief that the rejection of old values could lead to the creation of a new self and civilization, one that adhered to it's natural instincts and irrational nature."

Abstract
This paper first explains that vengeance and its expression is a primary emotion within Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible". Next, the author investigates the plot involving the characters of Abigail, Elizabeth Proctor and John Proctor as each character seeks to right a former wrong. The paper relates that this history-based play is a satire of McCarthyism, which was rampant at the time of the play's debut, in regards to creating a climate of paranoia, hysteria and hypocrisy, which results in vengeful impulses.

Introduction
The Crucible of Vengeance
Conclusion

From the Paper
"The character of Abigail expresses further vengeance in her attempt at bringing down Mrs. Proctor with her through an accusation of witchcraft practice. At first Abigail denies her involvement in the act, however upon realizing the power accorded to her by the community when she seems to accept it, she indirectly realizes a strategy to acquire both revenge and power for herself. Abigail uses this power to try and destroy the marriage of the Proctors through the accusation of Elizabeth Proctor as a witch, her wish to cause discord and emerge on top overriding the personal desire to safety."

Abstract
This paper explains, based on D. Goleman's book "Emotional Intelligence: Why it can Matter More than IQ", that emotional intelligence includes the ability to empathize and to hope, which are qualities more valuable than the high IQ that schools still insist is the measure of a child's ability. The author points out that Goleman states that emotional intelligence allows a person to motivate him or herself, persist when frustrated, control impulses, delay gratification, regulate his or her own moods and be able to think even when distressed. The paper relates that the author points out that, because their brains are not fully formed yet, it is possible to teach children to become aware of their emotions and how to control them appropriately; therefore, the schools have a genuine opportunity to make children emotionally literate.

From the Paper
"Violent criminals often lack empathy and have no sympathy or feeling for their victim's suffering. Violence in schools, sometimes ending in the death of students, is a direct result of emotional illiteracy. We need to pay more attention to this problem rather than making reading and writing the end-all and be-all of education. Goleman argues that childhood has been poisoned by hectic, instable, and inconsistent family life as well as all the negative influences surrounding children, and emotional malaise in children is the price that is being paid."

Abstract
This paper reviews the book 'Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking' by Malcolm Gladwell. According to the paper, 'Blink' is about the things that you pick up in a single glance that you may not even know about. The idea is that, before an individual figures out why he prefers one thing, he often has feelings or hunches about it. We may not even be aware of these feelings, or we may just have a hunch that something is right. The paper further discusses how these feelings are based on previous experiences and the person may not even be aware that he has a preference.

From the Paper
"In being aware, we can notice more things in facial expressions. Facial expressions can mean many things, but someone who knows them well can tell a lot about someone through their face and the way that they use it. In a review of facial photos of two different tribes, one researcher could tell a great deal about both tribes just by seeing their faces. He could tell not only whether they were peaceful or angry, but also that they tended toward homosexuality as a tribe. Extensive research into the facial muscles has revealed that there are thousands of combinations of muscle use and features. These sorts of different facial expressions were what was used when the married couples were looked at frame by frame in the study in Chapter 1. The face can be a huge source of information on someone's state of mind, emotions, or thoughts. Some insight into how much we need these facial and non-verbal cues comes from observing at people with autism. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the movie "The Fight Club," which is based upon Chuck Palahniuk's novel by the same name. The different themes presented in the movie are detailed, including how separation and dissatisfaction can lead to totalitarianism and how violence is often used to rearrange the world. The author also looks at the social impact of the movie on society by analyzing several different scenes from the film. The author feels that the most striking feature of the film is its violence and how it has been taken to such an extreme that in many cases people either avoided it altogether, or left midway through the movie because the violence was too much for them to handle.

From the Paper
"The experience of this film remained demanding to be considered and thought about it. However, unlike 95 percent of present -day action movies, there is an immense deal to ponder about and argue over since Fight Club presents an excess of thought-provoking material that at the same time works on many levels. The movie has been narrated in a conservative fashion, but is still been engaged, while Fincher's determination, and fidgety style turned it into a visual masterpiece. However, as mentioned in above largely the experience is mostly as strange as watching Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange since Fight Club is a tale that give details of an creepy alternate universe, in which the tune of life have the same rhythm as in ours but in a different manner."
