Abstract
This paper examines those elements of a classic tragedy such as The Spanish Tragedy, The Revenger's Tragedy and The White Devil that determine their effectiveness and their literary value. The paper contends that what makes such tragedies great is that they all push away from rather than towards classic Aristotelian code of catharsis into something else, which brings them startlingly close to the discourses of post-modernity. The paper concludes that by their (ir)resolution they are forced to be introspective, asking as opposed to answering questions of morality and encouraging the exploration of the audience's notions of self as individuals and as a culture. The references are presented in table format in this paper.
From the Paper
"The title quotation raises many relevant issues about what makes a tragedy good; is it the ability to create an emotive response in an audience, an Aristotelian notion of catharsis, a sense of vindication and justice, psychological viability of character, forcing an audience to question their existing notions of morality, or a combination of the above? Equally questionable is the concept of 'the bad' in relation to the good; is it as black and white as one may first perceive?
"The concept of 'the bad' within the context of the Revenge Tragedy is very much dependent on contemporary attitudes towards revenge itself. In earlier English culture, especially pre-Norman conquest where there was no centralised means for the sanctioning of crime, the vindication of a wrong was not only an option for an injured party but it was expected in order to uphold one's honour. However by the Elizabethan age attitudes appear to have changed considerably, and revenge faced 'the denunciations of the clerics and moralists' (Fred Bowers Elizabethan Revenge tragedy p12), and a system of justice governed by the state was in place and "it exercised a force second to none in the constant war against the private lawlessness of the times" (ibid). So by this reasoning both the instigator of reprisal and the perpetrator of the offence are to be condemned as 'the bad."

Abstract
The paper discusses how a disputed election in Kenya led to riots, and this caused a disruption of the nation's safari tourism industry. The paper explains that this $2 billion annual industry is the basis to ecology efforts to preserve wildlife as well as the engine which drives the nation's economy. The paper then notes that Kenya has a history of peace which contrasts to many of its neighbors, so the riots were disruptive.

Abstract
In this paper, the primary issue with American foreign policy in Latin America was the Cold War stance to avoid communism or socialist policy taking over countries that could provide valuable economic resources and political ideologies that supported capitalism. In this case, the American policy had to be intensified due to the competition for national allegiances to either the Soviets or the United States.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the purpose and intent of Art Spiegelman's books "Maus: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History" and "Maus: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began". The paper discusses the intensely personal side of the story and suggests that it tells a great deal about Spiegelman's motivations for creating these books. It discusses the themes and emotions that he reveals in the books.
From the Paper
"When considering Art Spiegelman's books Maus: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History and Maus: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began, the reader twice asks, "Why did Art Spiegelman write these?" That is, the reader wonders what purpose Spiegelman hoped his books would serve, and what personally drove Spiegelman to write the books in the first place. Though related, these are two different questions. These books are very personal works that not only chronicle his father's experiences as a Jew in Poland during WWII, but also reveal "Artie's" struggles to relate to his father. The intensely personal side of the story tells a great deal about Spiegelman's motivations for creating these books; this aspect is about Artie. Yet clearly purpose of the books is not to tell Artie's story, but to tell Vladek's."

Abstract
This paper examines the ideas of popular sovereignty, the Lecompton Constitution, and the New England Immigrant Aid Society, with respect to the 1854-1861 struggle in Kansas between those opposed to slavery, those in favor of slavery, and those in favor of leaving the issue up to the states to decide. In addition, the paper examines the Pottawatomie Massacre and Quantrill's Raid.
From the Paper
"Popular sovereignty, otherwise known as squatter sovereignty, began in 1850. This political doctrine promoted controversy by stating that people n federal territories should have free will when it came to whether or not their territories would enter the Union as a slave state or a free state. First applied to Utah and New Mexico territories, the doctrine was used in the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska act in 1854. This act repealed the previously applied prohibition of slavery north of the 36 30 latitude line. Thus, the Kansas territory was given the right to choose for themselves how their territory would enter the Union (NPS, "Overview")."

Abstract
This paper focuses on two books written by Art Spiegelman depicting the impact both during and after the Holocaust. Spiegelman's books represent an unerringly earnest attempt at the history of the 1930s and 1940s in Poland as experienced by Vladek Spiegelman, a survivor of Auschwitz and the author's father. The writer of this paper examines the author's unique style of writing which has been described as a comic strip about the Holocaust with Jews as mice, Germans as cats and Poles as pigs. This paper also discusses the critics and survivors who took offense at the author's sometimes humorous representation of the Holocaust.
From the Paper
"The use of the comic strip as a medium is a way for Spiegelman to deal with his emotions, both on the subject matter and with his father, in a way with which he is comfortable. This is a common psychological approach, especially with someone who is artistically inclined. The use of animals allows Spiegelman to a certain degree disassociate from the gravity and brevity of the situation. It is easier to deal with the subject matter if they are represented by animals than actually telling the story in terms of experiences of human beings."

Abstract
This paper examines the connection between an aortic graft to a duodenum fistula as a cause for upper GI bleeding. Generally, aortic grafts are used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms. The paper defines aortic aneurysms as a weak area in the wall of the abdominal aorta, the artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The paper concludes that aortic grafting can be a major cause of GI bleeding as an after effect of treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm and a method of treatment requires replacement of the stent-graft.
From the Paper
"Treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms may require surgery but for some patients, a new non-surgical treatment called stent-graft repair can be performed. The following is the results of a prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter clinical trial that compared endovascular stent graft exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysms with open surgical repair. During an 18-month period, 250 patients with infrarenal aneurysms underwent treatment at 12 study sites. 190 patients underwent endovascular repair using the Medtronic AneuRx stent graft (Sunnyvale, California), and 60 underwent open surgical repair. There was no significant difference in operative mortality rates between the groups. The patients who underwent stent grafting had significant reductions in blood loss and days in the intensive care unit and in the hospital, with an earlier return to function. Primary technical success at the time of discharge for the patients with stent grafts was 77%, largely as a result of a 21% endoleak rate. At one month, the endoleak rate had decreased to 9%."

Abstract
This case study discusses two possible nursing diagnoses in a comatose patient post-intracranial hemorrhage secondary to an AVM bleed. Tracheotomy care and providing comfort, particularly through touch, were discussed. Each diagnosis and intrevention is justified in the context of the patient's present state, followed by a detailed discussion of possible interventions and associated issues.
From the Paper
"The placement of an endotracheal tube and eventually a tracheotomy tube was necessary in Mrs. Trans's case because of her impaired consciousness (Durbin, 2005).On day one, her arterial blood gases results showed the following: Vent. Rate NA L/min FIO[2] NA % pH 7.42 (7.35-7.45) pCO[2] 39 mmHg (35-45) pO[2] 143 mmHg (80-110) HCO[3] 24 mmol/L (22-30) Std HCO[3] 25 mmol/L (22-30) Base Excess 0 mmol/L (-3/+3) O[2] Sat 99 % (>94) Note that the immediate concern at the time was the emergency neurosurgery that was undertaken, in which case, general anesthesia would have been the more immediate indication for an artificial airway and oxygen therapy (Baillie, Corben & Higham, 2005)."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer reviews the work of David C. Thompson and R. Craig Wood entitled: "Money & Schools" published in 2005 by Eye on Education, Inc. The writer points out that, according to this article, during just a few years, great changes have been noticed in the educational environment. The writer discusses that having reviewed the work of Thompson and Wood, an understanding has been gained that school finance is not as simple as it may appear because financing and funding of schools is an area that bleeds over into policy issues, political issues, local, state and federal issues and the varied conceptions of what equitable funding precisely may be defined as in today's educational environment.

Discussion
From the Paper
"The primary expectations expressed in the work of Thompson and Wood are those, which require the school leader to be industrious, committed, ethical, honest, and hard-working in the area of school finance. It is required that the school leader master many areas of interaction and collaboration school- and community-wide toward ensuring equitable and sufficient funding for schools in their school districts. There is not 'pat' answer for how the school leader is to approach the issues of school funding however, creativity and ethical behavior along with collaboration and interaction with community and organizations all serve to characterize the activities of the school leader toward sufficient funding of schools to ensure positive outcomes for students attending those schools."

Abstract
This paper explains that an increase in life expectancy and a drop in the fertility rate are imploding in most developed countries, creating lopsided societies with a large number of elderly and not enough young people working to support them. The author points out that this population implosion is affecting every program that requires public funds, such as health care, education, pensions, and military spending. The paper reports that, according to experts, the solution is immigration; however, increased immigration and higher birthrates among predominantly Muslim immigrant populations could result in additional ethnic tensions, as this issue bleeds into international relations.
From the Paper
"Due to prosperity and freedom, millions of women are staying in school longer, putting more emphasis on work and marrying later, resulting in a rapid birth rate decline in many countries. In Italy, women produce on average fewer than 1.2 children, the lowest figure every recorded among humans. It is projected that Italy will lose nearly a quarter of it s current population by 2050. When the Berlin Wall disappeared, it created economic uncertainties in that have frozen the birth rate from the Black Forest to Vladivostok."
