Abstract
This paper discusses and critically analyzes the new social movements as counter-hegemonic forces within a democratic society. The critical analysis is based within the framework of democratic societies, the USA and Canada, and in the social movements that have been seen in the two films, "Berkley in the 60's" and "Showdown in Seattle". This paper argues that the social movements of the 60s and 90s, shown in the films, both represent counter-hegemonic forces.

Abstract
The paper details the lawsuit that accused Berkeley Nutraceuticals of numerous accounts of fraud, including luring customers in with a free trial offer and then billing them without their knowledge, false and unsubstantiated claims about their products' effectiveness, money laundering, mail fraud and bank fraud. The paper describes how the company was defiantly defrauding its customers and operating under unethical principles. The paper learns from here that an ethical company will tell the truth about the products that it sells, it will never cheat customers out of money and it will not let greed determine its business practices.

From the Paper
"There are three main things that a business needs to remember in order to stay out of trouble. First, always tell the truth about the products that you are selling, never cheat your customers out of money and don't be greedy. Engaging in these practices can do nothing but lead to trouble and nobody knows that better now than Steve Warshak and Berkley Premium Nutraceuticals. In the beginning Steve Warshak could not seem to understand that what he was doing was wrong, but hopefully after spending the next 25 years reflecting about his actions, he will finally get it.
"In the beginning Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals goal was to provide their customers with only the best natural supplements available to help improve their health and the health of their loved ones. They believed that many health concerns could be addressed without resorting to pharmaceutical options or cheap herbal cure-alls. Since opening their doors in 2001, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals has focused on providing quality natural supplements, with superior formulas that use only premium ingredients, manufactured according to exacting standards (Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, Inc., 2009). This philosophy is what Berkley made available on their web site for everyone to read, if only they had practiced what they preached."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Lenni-Lenape tribe. It includes their spiritual and intellectual beliefs and a description of the environment in which they lived. Also described briefly is the history of their contact with the English, Spanish and other invaders, beginning with a look the Spaniard Pedro Mendez in 1570 and continuing through to a look at the Englishmen under Governor William Berkley in 1644. The paper also discusses the Lenni-Lenapes of modern day from the 1920's.

From the Paper
"Two outstanding leaders met and stopped a war between the English colonists under John Smith and the Lenape Indians under Chief Powhatan. As part of the treaty, Chief Powhatan was crowned King of the Delaware territory, in 1609, through the diplomacy of John Smith. Unfortunately, John Smith was recalled to England in 1609 after a dispute with the London Company's managers. The result of his recall was full-scale war between the English and the Lenape. The war lasted until 1613 when Pocahontas married an English colonist named John Rolfe and Chief Powhatan grudgingly called a truce between his people and the English."

Abstract
Leo Thomas was a Dominican priest that taught pastoral care for eleven years at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkley and the Menninger Foundation. As a member of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement in San Francisco and Seattle, Thomas became convinced that there were alternative methods of spiritual healing within the congregation. This paper provides background information on the career and religious philosophy of Dominican priest, Leo Thomas and discusses the book he wrote on spiritual healing entitled "Healing Ministries".

From the Paper
"Thomas founded the Institute for Christian Ministries in order to address this need, then began to write about his knowledge as a means of sharing these concepts with others. For "Healing Ministries: A Practical Guide", Thomas worked with freelance writer and Christian Ministries board member Jan Alkire to produce the work. Leo Thomas passed away in 1997. Father Leo Thomas wanted to guide others to an understanding of how to teach healing. The concept of healing was directed at the spiritual health of the individual, and it concerned all individuals of all..."

Abstract
The paper looks at "Socrates to Sartre and Beyond: A History of Philosophy" where Samuel Enoch Stumpf and his co-author James Fieser strive to show a line of intellectual continuity between the earliest ancient philosophers like Socrates, and the 20th century French founder of existentialism Jean-Paul Sartre. The paper offers a summary of the book's treatment of pre-Socratic philosophers, Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Berkley, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Marx, James and finally, Sartre.

From the Paper
"In Socrates to Sartre and Beyond: A History of Philosophy Samuel Enoch Stumpf and his co-author James Fieser might seem to be taking upon themselves an impossible and unwieldy task. As the title of their work proclaims, they strive to show a line of intellectual continuity between the earliest ancient philosophers like Socrates, one of the first and most famous modern philosophers, through the thought of the post-war, atheistic philosopher, the 20th century French founder of existentialism Jean-Paul Sartre. Finally, the 'beyond' part of the text catapults the reader squarely into modern analytic and postmodern theory, in an attempt to place our contemporary culture in a historical context. The authors try to create history of philosophy by examining how the human race came to conceptualize and question such concepts as a 'good life' and 'truth.'"

Abstract
This paper highlights the impact of events on the leading characters of the three novels, "Farewell to Arms", "Lucy Gayheart" and "Keeper of the Moon" by Hemingway, Willa Cather and Tim Mclaurin respectively. The paper highlights the common theme in the three novels and comes to a sound conclusion that the authors have put great stress on man's helplessness, his endless struggle and his eventual failure. Though writing style and choice of words as well as portrayal of characters is different, most of the elements of the theme remain the same.

From the Paper
"Hence, the author highlighted the tragic sense of life that prevails all aspects of happiness and love. The young, dazzling and passionate Henry had to give in to the disillusionment and severe anguish and the war that Henry abandoned eventually snatched away all that the hero of the story held dear (Hemingway). Thus the author focuses on the viewpoint that the individuals hope for the best in life yet failure is what they are usually destined to and the universe, the land, the soil where we lead our lives appears indifferent to our plight as implied when the world challenges and puts the couple's faith to test time and again. The similar viewpoint is advocated and shared by the author of Lucy Gayheart, Willa Cather regarding man's eventual fiasco in life's perpetual journey and struggle."
