Abstract
This paper reviews one of Warren Wiersbe's books that make up the theological Christian series known as the "Be" series. This paper takes a look at "Be Satisfied," Wiersbe's book that examines Ecclesiastes and the life and lessons of King Solomon. The review takes the form of a chapter by chapter summary, with the reviewer giving comments on the contents of each section. The author concludes that although he found Wiersbe's view of Ecclesiastes to be positive, he feels Wiersbe lost part of the text's message.
From the Paper
"Wiersbe opens his book with the Chapter "Is Life Worth Living", which is the central question that is posed by the Book of Ecclesiastes. The disconcerting nature of this particular Book is that the author, King Solomon, answers in the negative. He considers the different ends and goals that people live for to be completely driven by vanity and frustration. Wiersbe takes this in stride and instead of attempting to go around King Solomon's statements, he directly addresses them for what they are. Wiersbe argues that despite King Solomon, much like everyone else today, looks at life's hardships and sees the worst in what we must do. However, Wiersbe argues that despite these toils, there are so many heavenly fruits rewarded to us for living. The purpose of this chapter is to act as an overview of Ecclesiastes and also to address the central challenge of this book, which is to find the hidden meaning for why we should live within the Book of Ecclesiastes."

Abstract
This paper explains that" All That We Can Be" by Charles C. Moskos and John Sibley Butler relates that from the first days of armed combat in colonial times, blacks have fought in the army. Nonetheless, the more than a million blacks serving during WWII were mostly in segregated units. The author stresses that, in 1948, President Truman signed Executive Order 9381, which desegregated all armed services and guaranteed equal treatment and opportunity for all military personnel. The paper stresses that, after the Vietnam War, race relations in the Army moved toward being integrated completely, and systems were put in place to fulfill the promise of equal treatment and opportunity.

From the Paper
"In Somalia, an interesting thing occurred. Black soldiers came face to face with their "ancestors". Some watched the scenes carefully for mixed feelings about blacks being on the other end of the rifle of other blacks. Apparently, however, the consensus for Black American troops was that these people were not their ancestors and were not the face in the mirror, but a shadow of the past. Here, in this dictatorship in defense of a democracy, Afro centrism had not found its perch. Being black did not mean and for many, does not mean being a hyphenated person. For many blacks, being an American is enough. In my
opinion, this is because they know and are secure in the knowledge that America was shaped by blacks and the title of American is theirs as much as it is a middle income white boy's from the suburbs of middle America."

Abstract
This paper analyzes a song by Beatles, which appeared during the 1970s. The song contains some important messages, which are all tied to one central theme. The analysis also discusses such things as the impact of music, singer's tone and psychological significance of the song.
From the Paper
"The song I have chosen for analysis is "Let it be" by Beatles. The song being one of the greatest hits of all times is more deeper in meaning than many songs being churned out these days. It contains messages of universal appeal and the soothing guitar beats add to the peaceful impact of the powerful lyrics. It is an interesting fact that this song was created in a time when the country was in the tight grips of meaningless chaos. The song is from the 70s decade when the hippie culture had a strong impact on the youth and people were living in turmoil as old beliefs had suddenly been crushed by more powerful new values. During these days of inner conflict and confusion, Beatles chose to create a song, which would instill peace and tranquility in the lives of its listeners. In this song, the tone is very gentle and soothing absolutely in tune with the real purpose of the song. The best thing about this song along with the gentle tone of the singers is the mellowed beats of different instruments. The music doesn't interfere with the lyrics and is present only to support the gentle messages contained in the song. This is something, which makes it quite different from many other similar songs. The singers here appear to be more concerned about appropriate delivery of the message and thus concentrate more on lyrics than on their music-making skills."

Abstract
There can be little question that bullying exacts a terrible price upon victims. For one thing, there is the element of fear that is constantly being injected into their daily lives; there is also the depression and the bouts of hopelessness and despair that accompany being denigrated and pushed around by another party on a habitual basis. Beyond that, the frequent victims of bullying in school can easily become embittered and angry, to the point that they start acting out in anti-social and destructive ways. With all that in mind, the following paper will look at the costs of school place bullying, what creates the middle school bully and what is needed to stop such conduct before it leads to tragic consequences. Ultimately, I conclude that strong parenting which combines equal measures love and toughness, along with assertive conduct from teachers and administrators, is the best means by which middle school bullying can be thwarted.

Abstract
Subjective character of experience, to Nagel, is related to the existence of consciousness. As he states, "the fact that an organism has conscious at all means, basically, that there is something it is like to be that organism" (436). In being and having consciousness we have a perspective on the world around us, but as each of us has a different interaction with that world, our viewpoint is coloured by the conceptualization we adopt to adapt within the circumstances with which we are faced.
From the Paper
Nagel: What is it like to be a bat? The subjective character of experience is the conceptualization of perception, which can, according to Nagel, only be associated with a single point of view. It is impossible, because all perceptions of reality are unique to individuals, for one person to conceive of the viewpoint or the experiences of other people. Subjective character of experience, to Nagel, is related to the existence of consciousness. As he states, "the fact that an organism has conscious at all means, basically, that there is something it is like to be that organism" (436). In being and having consciousness we have a perspective

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses and explains the different forms of euthanasia. The writer looks at both sides of the euthanasia argument. The writer notes that those in favor of euthanasia bring up the comparison of passive euthanasia to active euthanasia and then discusses the differences. The writer covers issues such as doctor-assisted suicide and voluntary or involuntary euthanasia. In conclusion, the writer argues that euthanasia is ethically, morally and, should be, legally right for people whose medical condition is terminal, and whose suffering and hardship outweigh the benefit of trying to prolong their life.
From the Paper
"Euthanasia has three sub-categories that can go along with either the passive or active definition. These include voluntary, involuntary, and non-voluntary. The firs sub-category is voluntary. This simply enough means that the patient willingly and capably made the choice. The second sub-category is involuntary. Involuntary, on the other hand, means that the choice was made without the patient's approval, who is otherwise capable of making the decision. Non-voluntary refers to the choice being made for an incompetent patient who is not believed to be capable of making the choice for himself. These three sub-categories play a major factor in how euthanasia is viewed and determined legally."

Abstract
This paper explains that, for most of students, the step by step, extensive and complicated, often daunting and discouraging, haul from kindergarten to high school creates who they are. Although grade school and junior high school have their problems, the author believes that the most serious peril is high school. The paper concludes that school is a color-coded, fun-loving, lively-tainted obstacle course designed to prepare the student for entry into the real and raw world filled with landmines.
From the Paper
"Dead tired and violently nervous I strode to my first day of junior high: the second step. My optimistic outlook on life and steadfast determination beamed through my continuous smiling and upbeat personality. But school life did not get any easier; in fact the landmines grew in number. I now had to migrate from one classroom to another, avoid embarrassment and confrontation, while working even harder to keep grades up in more difficult classes. And uniforms? Like a massive army sect scrambling across the campus, the entire student body dressed exactly the same."

Abstract
This paper supports Morris-Suzuki's proposition that a review of history (time as opposed to space) will prove that the definition of "Japanese" has been a function of time and political, social and economic context in which there were "varying strategies which the state used to manage difference and create uniformity" for its own purposes.
From the Paper
"In "Japan" in Reinventing Japan: Time, Space, Nation (M.E. Sharp, 1998, p. 10) Tessa Morris-Suzuki proposes that the definition of what it means to be Japanese was not contestant or stable. Instead " it was contextual and changing". She argues for her hypothesis and her proposal of re-examining the nature of the nation and the nationalistic concept by presenting an overview of history to support the fact that Japan is not a homogeneous society and never has been. This is to present argument to the contrary position that the Japanese were essentially a homogeneous social group, a phenomenon created by geographic isolation. Instead, Morris-Suzuki proposes that a review of history (time as opposed to space) will prove that the definition of "Japanese" has been a function of time and political, social and economic context in which there were "varying strategies which the state used to manage difference and create uniformity" (pg. 34) for its own purposes."
