Abstract
The following paper examines how the "Cream of the Crop" gives one a sense of the value of an elite education, however, it is of the writer's opinion that a comparison of their subjects to graduates of less prestigious schools might have given a broader picture of the importance of an elite education.

From the Paper
"In Cream of the Crop: The Impact of Elite Education on the Decade After College, Katchadourian and Boli examine not only how the college you attend, but the choices you make while in college shape and mold the rest of your life. In this book, a group of Stanford University alumni are followed for ten years after graduation (Katchadourian, 1994). It shows how decisions they made in college affected their family and career choices. It focuses on their professional careers, experiences in the workplace, their personal lives and their life's reflections a decade after graduation. This book is the first to examine these issues systematically (Katchadourian, 1994)."

Abstract
In this paper, one can summarize the argument presented as being a gender-unified position in relation to roles in performance instrumentals. The writer discusses that by acknowledging the presence of a separate gender role allocation in the daily life of the T'Boli tribe, gender does not take a separate set of variables when allocating instruments to those that are involved in conflicting matters of love. Further the writer looks at the revenge that can arise from infidelity.

From the Paper
"This musical study will summarize the main argument of gender classification in Mora's "The Last Kiss and The Return After Murder: A Case Study of Meaning and Context in Instrumental Performance Among the T'Boli (Phillipines)." In analyzing the gender roles that are within the T'Boli community, there is a united sense of exchange between men and women through the performance music they culturally enact. By using the pieces: "The Last Kiss" and the "The Return After the Murder" to describe this inter-meshed gender role allocation to the T'Boli tribe, Mora's main argument can be revealed through instrumental music."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the various totalitarian aspects of Chinese government and society that severely limit the rights and freedoms of Asians as individuals. The sense of collective government by the working people of China has been the modus operandi of Chinese government, since the abuses of past monarchical governments have often abused the proletariat through an elitist agenda. The paper further discusses how the various experiences brought forth in this study explain a different side of China, one that is abusive and controlling the lifestyles, fashions, and religious aspects of life for Chinese people.
