Abstract
This paper presents two film essays. The first reviews the 1938 classic screwball comedy, "Bringing Up Baby." It looks at director Howard Hawks' ability to draw hidden comedic talents and skills from his cast. The second paper is a personal reaction to the 1996 film "Bound" with respect to the Hays Motion Picture Code, looking at issues of extreme violence, profanity, nudity and sex.

Abstract
This paper examines Aristotle's definition of comedy using two classical cinema comedies - "Sherlock, Jr." and "Bringing up Baby" - to illustrate this definition. The paper explains that Aristotle believed that comedy shows people engaged in ridiculous activities, but this ridiculousness is not painful or destructive and the comic action must be without bad intent. The paper looks at how in each movie the lead character is ridiculous, but always portrayed without malice. The paper points out that in "Bringing up Baby", a longer film than "Sherlock Jr.", and one in which sound allows for the speedy development of more characters, the subordinate characters draw heavily on classical models such as Shakespearean figures like Dogberry and Verges in "Much Ado About Nothing". The paper notes that these characters too are ridiculous although not malicious, and clearly inferior in the nonsense they act out, but saved in the end through the resolution of the plot. In conclusion that paper shows that Aristotle's definition is general, even imprecise, but it is clearly a definition which is well illustrated in these two films.

From the Paper
"These people act without malice. Keaton wants to be a detective, but is outdone by the "sheik," who gets him blamed for the theft of a gold watch, and by his girlfriend, who shows his innocence. In his dream, he is a great, if bumbling detective. Grant tries mainly to avoid Hepburn, but cannot extricate himself from her. Hepburn means well, repeatedly offering to help him get the funding for his museum which is his main hope. Sherlock Jr. begins with scenes of Keaton sweeping the theatre, beset by people who claim to have lost money in his trash pile. The scenes are funny: they show an inferior person, an inept sweeper, being ridiculous. They do little, however, to advance the main plot."

From the Paper
"In the late 1930s a sub-genre developed in the American film. The so-called screwball comedies were different from the comedies that had gone before, and to some extent it is a sub-genre that has persisted. The definition of a screwball comedy is not as definite as that for, say, a Western or a Horror film, and whether a given work fits this sub-genre is always arguable. Howard Hawks's Bringing Up Baby (1938) is an accepted classic in the genre, while Rob Reiner's Harry Met Sally (1989) is not so clearly an echo of the original group of films so classified.

The original screwball comedies were made in the era between the onset of the Depression and the end of World War II. Ed Sikov offers a definition of screwball comedy that emphasizes the sexual relationships involved, with madcap comedy surrounding the onset and development of romance. Usually, he says, the,,,"

Abstract
This paper is a collection of lessons for a Canadian sociology course. The first part of the paper addresses a variety of issues relating to marriage contracts, family law, spousal abuse, and racism in Canadian contexts. The next part of this paper contains the results of a brief summary that describes how three married couples have responded to having a baby, and how a baby has changed their domestic life. In the third section of this paper, the "Sear's attachment parenting" is described with relation to parenting and children's behaviors.

Abstract
This paper considers a definition of comedy derived from the Poetics of Aristotle. It then considers two classic comedy films, "Sherlock, Jr." by Buster Keaton and "Bringing Up Baby," staring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, and finds that these films correlate to a high degree to the Aristotelian definition. In both films, "inferior persons" perform ridiculous acts.

From the Paper
"While 'comedy' has generally been so wide-ranging as to be beyond an accepted definition, Aristotle suggested that comedy contained certain elements. According to Aristotle, comedy imitates 'the action of men worse than ourselves,' showing such people engaged in 'the ridiculous, which is a species of the ugly.'(Aristotle, Poetics, 1449a32-34: Masahiro Kitano) However, this ridiculousness is 'not painful or destructive.' (Aristotle, Poetics, 1449a34-35) A comic plot needs enough range "to allow the hero to pass through a series of probable or necessary stages from bad fortune to..."

Abstract
This paper examines the documentary film 'Seven Up!' The writer considers whether the film presents the true voices of the children involved and what they actually think and feel. The writer also examines the way in which children and childhood are presented by the film and the importance of the film in terms of developing our understanding of childhood.

From the Paper
"The paper will argue that the film does not present the true voices of children but rather how these voices are shaped and influenced thought the children's environments and their social and economic status. Furthermore, the film set out not to study the children and childhood but rather the future adults that these children will grow into."

Abstract
Each year approximately three million baby boomers turn 40. This is a time of introspection and re-evaluation of who the baby boomer is. This is the time of mid-life crisis and the American Dream. Most baby boomers went to college, got a successful job, married, had 2.5 children, and bought a house in the suburbs. Now they look at life and ask, "Is this all there is to life?" Many of these baby boomers are divorced, have quit their jobs, given up their home in the suburbs and find themselves in a mid-life crisis. It is the American Dream and the mid-life crisis that this paper will focus on. What is the mid-life crisis? Why has the American Dream failed for many? Why are the baby boomers finding themselves feeling unfulfilled in life? What does research show about mid-life crisis? Can mid-life crisis be considered an actual diagnosis for people suffering from mental anguish? What steps can the middle-age individual take to prevent the mid-crisis? How does this affect my worldview about those experiencing mid-life crisis? How does it relate to current news items on television? What are the ramifications of this research show in regards to mid-life crisis? As a counselor how will this research affect the way I might treat someone going through the mid-life crisis? How does this affect my viewpoint of my family, and perhaps my viewpoints of my family? Can I recognize how family members have suffered mid-life crisis and the effects of this in their life?

Abstract
Using a number of arguments from archives and opinion pieces, the thesis here is that Bruno Richard Hauptmann was framed, evidence was misplaced, mishandled or inocrrectly displayed and there is proof Hauptmann was at work at the time the Lindbergh baby was taken. The paper asserts that all these factors add up to the more commonly held theory that Hauptmann did not kidnap the baby which made headlines for years in the 1930s.

From the Paper
"The 1920s and 1930s were decades of xenophobia in America. And perhaps two of the most serious offenses against "foreigners" were the persecution and execution of Sacco and Vanzetti in Massachusetts and the railroading as "guilty" of Bruno Hauptmann alleged kidnapper and killer of the baby son of famed "hero" Charles A. Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow. Ample proof exists that Bruno Hauptmannn was innocent. Here are some examples: 1. "Although someone was tried, found guilty, and executed for the baby's death, there are still suspicions that an innocent man was put to death...The author points out the part played by prejudice, hysteria,"..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the aging baby boom generation, who are characterized by prevention and wellness values resulting in longer life expectancy, will have a significant effect on the number of elderly needing long-term healthcare services. The author stresses that the Medicare system does not provide protection against catastrophic or long-term events, many drugs and prevention services, all of which will be needed by the aging baby boom generation. The paper concludes that, along with the concern for this cohort, there is the continued need for the entire population--the rich and the poor, the young and the old--to have healthcare coverage; the social system may offer the most adequate solution.

From the Paper
"Baby boomers have redefined quality of care, demanding preventative measures for optimal health. This generation demands more service, more information, and more options. Since they are the largest buying population, they have changed the healthcare system and will continue to do so. Among the changes needed is improvement in long-term-care coverage. Private insurance for this coverage has increased but presents problems such as how to market a high-cost policy to those with little money. Public-private partnerships are another alternative. However, this type of assistance may end up raising Medicare costs without offering enough assistance to the public. Social insurance is also discussed. In this case the costs would be disbursed among the total population, including those 65 years and older."

Abstract
This paper examines the preoccupation by J.M. Barrie of Peter Pan's teeth in his novel "Peter Pan" which is based on an earlier story about Peter Pan provided in the work "The Little White Bird" in which Peter is most painstakingly described as a very young child, just seven days old and lives among the fairies and birds in Kensington Gardens, in the center of London. It looks at how in "Peter Pan" there is a preoccupation with Peter's teeth and how they are mentioned five times in the novel and how three of those bring up the fact that they are all his first teeth. It evaluates why it is relevant that he still has his first teeth and how there are three important elements to Peter's teeth. It analyzes how that he does in fact have teeth now and not in Kensington Gardens, indicates a transitional period between the two works. Secondly, that he still has his first teeth indicates how young he still is. Thirdly, that he has not had any knocked out indicates what a brave and talented boy is Peter.

From the Paper
"In Kensington Gardens, Peter is just a baby. He cannot even fly, for he has lost his faith. (It is faith, according to Barrie, that gives a bird the power to fly. Once Peter realizes he is no longer a bird, he looses the ability to fly.) There is much more talk of death and transition in The Little White Bird, and Peter buries the children that sneak into the Gardens and die, guiding their souls as far as he can. Some have speculated that Peter himself dies, and it is this death that enables him to transcend his limitations and go to Neverland. Regardless of that detail, it is evident that between his time in Kensington Gardens and his time in Neverland, the boy who wouldn't grow up did actually grow just a little: he got old enough to have his first teeth. That suggestion of change is enough to cast any number of shadows across the narrative of Peter Pan. "
