Abstract
This essay examines the impressions working class in the early twentieth century through comparing the works of Susan Porter Benson in "Counter Cultures, Saleswomen, Managers, and Customers in American Department Stores, 1890-1940" to that of Farrell Dobbs's series "Teamsters." The author finds Dobbs to have a more detailed accurate portrayal of working class life, providing audiences with an in-depth look into the working class struggles of that time. The paper highlights the authors' works and the areas in which they specialized their research. For example, Susan Porter Benson focused on the women's movement of the working class, whereas Farrell Dobbs focused on labor unions. The paper concludes with a discussion of unions, strikes and the movement to improve working conditions for the working class.

From the Paper
"The "working class" labels formed early in the nineteenth century (Cody,). The "classes" are defined by various traits: occupation, education, manners, power, and social prestige (Wikipedia Encyclopedia). The working class consists of blue-collar workers and manual laborers. They can be either upper or middle class with skilled laborers at one and unskilled at the other (Cody,). These definitions and views of the working class are still perceived today. The working classes, as everyone knows, have various education and experience backgrounds."

The intention to explain the breadth of this union's influence and how it represents is membership. Its lobbyist Phil Benson has been seeing his union face many unique challenges in the recent year.

The intention to explain the breadth of this union's influence and how it represents is membership. Its lobbyist Phil Benson has been seeing his union face many unique challenges in the recent year. With the economy is upheaval this last year, many policies Teamsters are under exceptional scrutiny. According to Benson in an interview (2009 March 12), "This year, we have been working to expand coverage in the Wage Earner Protection Program," says Benson by phone. "The WEPP coverage was expanded on January 27 of this year to include severance and termination pay if they are not paid

Abstract
The relaxation response shows us what our mind can do for our body. This paper discusses how the relaxation response, discovered by Herbert Benson, can counteract the effects of tension and stress in an ever changing environment. The paper also contends that this method could improve the overall health of Americans and possibly even save lives.

From the Paper
"Dr. Herbert Benson began to look into the relationship between stress, high blood pressure and hypertension trying to find a connection. He began his study by observing the practitioners of Transcendental Meditation. One of the striking observations that he made was the fact that simply with meditation alone the Transcendental Mediation practitioners were able to bring about certain physiological changes: a drop in heart rate, breathing rate, and metabolic rate. (Benson xvi) Lower levels of blood pressure are healthy, and being able to bring about this change without the aid of medication was a great discovery by Benson. While the "flight-or-fight" response activated the sympathetic nervous system there was another response that could quiet this nervous system, as Benson discovered. He termed this discovery: The Relaxation Response."

Abstract
This paper begins by addressing the challenges and barriers present in cross cultural communication. The paper then goes on to describe the research conducted in Penelope Benson's article, "The US-Japan Cross-Cultural Connection", as pertaining to the differences in Japanese and American styles of government. Next, the paper describes research conducted by Michelle LeBaron in her article, "Cross Cultural Communication." The paper explains that the focal point of LeBaron's is that fate has a profound affect on cross-cultural communication. The paper lastly discusses Marcelle E. DuPraw's six fundamental patterns of cultural differences as examined in her article, "Working on Common Cross-Culture Communication Challenges."

From the Paper
"In an article by Penelope Benson, the President of New York-Japan International, Benson researches a group of individuals who were interning from Japan regarding their perspective on America. These individuals, having been raised from Japan, have only read and studied about America but have never actually experienced it in person. Benson notes that there will obviously be a barrier in the communication of these people. Japan's culture differs immensely from America's culture in countless ways. During the Japanese individuals' internships, Penelope "had asked the interns to consider themselves as Ambassadors of Japan in their everyday interactions with the Americans they encountered, many of whom might never before have met a Japanese national" (Benson, P., 1997). Benson complimented the individuals by saying that they took cross-cultural responsibility into play and challenged the cultural differences by studying and working on them. Among each individual's observations, he/she concluded that, "The diversity of the US populace leads to opposing opinions at all levels of government as to what issues are critical"

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the farm policies in America during the Eisenhower and Kennedy years. The writer places primary focus on the specific moves of President Kennedy in this field. The writer discusses President Kennedy's actions, including raising farmer income, improving supply management and using farm surpluses to augment other programs.

From the Paper
"...... American agricultural production grew dramatically while the number of farm workers declined by nearly one-third. What some historians have described as nearly miraculous agricultural productivity was achieved. This was accomplished as a consequence of greater crop specialization, intensive use of fertilizers and increased mechanization of farm work itself. The decline of the family farm and the growth of what came to be called agri-business changed the environment in which agricultural production in the United States took place. Larger farmers benefited ... "

Abstract
In "Jurassic Park" and "The Terminal man", Michael Crichton uses many of the same themes throughout both novels. He gives the readers many ethical and philosophical questions to ponder. The paper shows how Crichton asks many questions such as: Is technology moving too fast? Just because we have the technology to alter nature, do we have the right to use it? What if our technology does more harm than good? Can science outdistance all ethical restraints? The paper shows how both books present the ideas of the power of technology and science over nature and man, the impact and dangers of technological advances on society and mans attempts to control what cannot be controlled.

From the Paper
""The Terminal Man" uses a theory almost identical to the chaos theory in it's explanation of behavior. Gehard, the computer expert at NPR, learned through working with computer programs that, "relatively simple computer instructions could produce complex and unpredictable machine behavior. It was also true that the programmed machine could exceed the capabilities of the programmer." Which is exactly what happened with Benson. The doctors, in their attempt to control his behavior, programmed simple computer instructions which produced complex and unpredictable behavior that they could not control."

Abstract
In Victorian literature, realism followed the age of romanticism and realism quickly evolved into naturalism, practiced by many authors of the time, including Jack London, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Sinclair Lewis. This paper introduces "Victorian Prose and Poetry" in which the authors Lionel Trilling and Harold Bloom discuss the issues of compromise and realism within Victorian literature. They show that the Victorian authors wrote realistically about life and compromised with just enough romanticism to get people to read and enjoy what they wrote.

From the Paper
"Compromise is also an important component of Victorian literature. Many Victorian writers, such as Dickens, compromised between Romanticism and Realism, trying to find a balance in their beliefs and how they portrayed them to their audience of readers. Times and culture was changing when these writers wrote, and they had to discover ways to compromise between staid Victorian culture and the modern culture that was rapidly following it. Morals were becoming less strict, and Victorian principles were being replaced with more realistic and modern beliefs. The writers at the end of the Victorian era helped illustrate the changes that were happening, and the compromises that people were making to blend the old and new belief systems."
