Abstract
This paper analyzes and compares two types of leadership - the "Wheel" and the "Web". The author sees that the twentieth century was marked by a series of economical, social and political changes that resulted in the restructuring and transformation of a number of traditional beliefs and customary views. This process, he believes, changed the fundamental framework of leadership, transforming it from the "wheel" that supported the Industrial Age to the "web" that forms the heart of the Age of Information. The "wheel" type of leadership is recognized by the fundamental traits of command, control and power and is commonly associated with the male leadership characteristics of individuality and autonomy. On the other hand, the leadership known as the "web", incorporates the basic traits of collaboration, communication and participation and is recognized by the characteristics of organization and cooperation that have come to be commonly associated with modern female leadership . This paper describes the face of modern female leadership as well as famous female leaders.

From the Paper
""Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them...they make things happen" ~ Robert Jarvick, inventor of the artificial heart (Leadership). The characteristic mark of leadership and the traits of those who have excelled at it can be traced throughout the pages of world history and down through the centuries of the development of human civilization. Up until the twentieth century, these traits and characteristics showed some modification but little basic and fundamental change. The twentieth century, however, was marked by a series of economical, social and political changes that resulted in the restructuring and transformation of a number of traditional beliefs and customary views. This restructuring process included basic changes in the fundamental framework of leadership, transforming it from the "wheel" that supported the Industrial Age to the "web" that forms the heart of the Age of Information (Guido-DiBrito et al, 1996, pp. 28-29)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the story "News for the Church" by Frank O'Connor. The writer analyzes the characters in this story in which a young girl visits the church in order to make a confession. The writer notes that to a casual reader, it may look as though the young country girl brings in the news to Father Cassidy, a kind-hearted, compassionate caring father; however, a closer reading reveals that the priest is also a sinner. Further, the writer points out that after a careful reading, the news beneath the news is revealed to the reader regarding the priest's immoral makeup. The writer concludes that the true character of the Father is revealed as he digs deep and asks uncomfortable personal questions, then forgetting to give penance and forgiveness to the young girl.

From the Paper
"At first, Father Cassidy resembles a kind, compassionate and naive priest who considers the girl's confession peculiar. He is sympathetic towards the young girl. He thinks no real badness can come from this adolescent, and he is surprised to find out that she goes to confession often. But, he knows better than to let himself rely on the appearance and looks of a woman to decide her character. From experience, he knows first impressions can be deceiving, and he can never tell if a woman is a saint or a sinner just by a glance. He asks a few questions, and she manages to charm him with her bold and candid manner. Because his mind is not as sharp at sixty as it used to be at a younger age, he allows himself to be her confident."
"He starts to empathize with the girl, especially when he finds out that the convent school and the nuns are the reasons she is drinking. Also, he takes into account the fact that the girl grew up without her mother's care and supervision; therefore, he thinks it is understandable for her to drown her sadness in alcohol once in a while."

From the Paper
"Charles Mingus's autobiographical book, Beneath the Underdog, details his involvement with jazz, offers his view of life as a black American, and reveals some of the history of jazz from his point of view and through his experiences. The title of the book gives the general tenor of the work--he sees himself as beneath the underdog, meaning that he is even lower on the scale than those who are seen as at a disadvantage in our society. The story told by Mingus shows that he has been faced throughout his life with a sense of being on the lower end of the social scale; indeed, more than this, he has been so subjected to punishments, indignities, and discrimination that he seems to have come to expect it.

Mingus's attitude toward himself is revealed in the opening paragraph, a statement delivered to his psychiatrist during a.."

Abstract
This essay examines the identity of a death squad; its effects on Salvadorians as well as unveiling the supporters and revealing the future for this type of organization.

From the Paper
"El Salvador has been rocked with instability both economically and politically since its independence in 1838. The existence of the Death Squads, created by the Salvadorian Government, destroyed the countries ability to become prosperous and secure, which has left the country distraught and pillaged after over a decade of horrific abuses of power. The Squads were designed to keep the people of El Salvador in line no matter what the cost, and the economic losses, political instability and human costs were devastating. The world sat back and watched the Salvadorian people be terrorized by the gruesome acts of the government deployed Death Squads and did nothing to stop them. It wasn't their problem. The United States took a much different approach to the volatility in El Salvador, by supporting the government in power, the ARENA party, in order to fulfill their own economic interests, with lower coffee and other agricultural exports prices. This essay will examine the identity of a Death Squads; its effects on Salvadorians as well as unveiling the supporters and revealing the future for this type of organization. Ignorance is no longer an excuse. Ignorance has left tens of thousands dead, and many more emotionally wounded."

Abstract
This paper discusses extensively the history of wheels, starting from its origin, up to its common use at present, which is for transportation. This paper also concerns itself with the development of automobile manufacturing and industry, since through many years, cars that have evolved into various models and functions haverelied on wheels as the important part of its structure to keep an automobile functioning.

From the Paper
"The origin of wheels was said to have started during the Sumerian civilization, which was during the 3500 BC. However, there have been studies that prove that wheels are not only utilized, but also essential to other people or civilization primarily because these people think of the wheel as a symbolic material that represents intangible things. In fact, it was discovered that early Mesoamericans treat wheels as sacred objects, representing the "cycle of life, death, and rebirth" (Wirth 1996). The Mesoamericans were known to associate wheels with the "supernatural, religious world," thus establishing the fact that aside from the present utilitarian value of wheels, this object is also essential for its symbolic value."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Alfred Hitchcock laid the groundwork for the character construction and suspense build-up that resonates in modern mystery movies such as "Fight Club" and "What Lies Beneath." Both films are described in detail to show how they exemplify Hitchcock's reliance on character development to unravel the plot. In particular, "What Lies Beneath" contains several Hitchcockian themes and uses several of Hitchcock's suspense building techniques. The paper concludes that the directors of these films knew that the easiest way to involve the audience emotionally was to rely on Hitch's methods, which revolve around creating human imperfection and frailty.

From the Paper
"Fight Club is very reminiscent of Hitch's concept of the doppelganger. There are moral ambiguities and a crisis of character of Edward Norton's character (who is not officially named in the film) in respect to his antagonist Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt. The culmination of this complexity results in the revelation that the narrator played by Norton is actually Tyler Durden. Where Jack was a reasonably respectable insurance claims investigator who lived in his safe condo with all his material possessions, he literally becomes his antagonist Tyler Durden, who helped him start Fight Club and influenced him to emerge as the nihilist headman of a terrorist organization. This carefully etched character is reminiscent of the Norman Bates/Mother complex of Psycho."

Abstract
This paper compares Robert Jordan's "The Wheel Of Time" to J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord Of The Rings." It explorers the these great examples of fantasy literature through their similar characters, themes and names. The paper describes that the books are both magical with similar dark lords, heroes, keepers of the lands, monsters, and parents to the heroes.

From the Paper
"Like all other fantasy books, some resemble others greatly. Robert Jordan's "The Wheel Of Time" closely resembles J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord Of The Rings." The resemblances are mostly resembled in the first few books. Some resemblances occur in many other fantasy series too.
The first and most obvious parallels are the heroes, Frodo in "The Lord Of The Rings" and Rand in "The Wheel Of Time." The heroes in both books are unwilling characters approached by guides and are sent off on dangerous missions where they must fight fear, and face overwhelming chances of failure. They are from far-away places that most kingdoms have never heard of. In "The Lord Of The Rings" they must go and destroy the ring, in "The Wheel Of Time" they must fight Shai'tan. They are targeted by a dark leader. The dark leader in "The Lord Of The Rings" is Sauron, and in "The Wheel Of Time" it is Shai'tan. They have moments of truth where they must have the courage to go beyond their boundaries like going into Shayol Ghul in "The Wheel Of Time" and into Mordor. It is all up to them to save the world."
