Abstract
This essay focuses on the characters of the three central personalities in "The Master Builder": Halvard Solness, Aline Solness, and Hilde Wangel. Personal traits and the relationship of individuals to each other as a means of plot development are viewed as well as a discussion of what each character shows us about the human identity and soul.

From the Paper
"The character of Hilde Wangel stands as the "wild bird of the forest" or foil to Aline's conservatism. Her appearance breaks the tension that we feel between Kaja the bookkeeper, Halvard, and Mrs. Solness in the first act, and draws attention to the magnificent and culminatory events at Lysanger ten years earlier."

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews the contractual arrangement between Sid and Bob vis-a-vis an extension to the former's house. This paper argues that Bob entered into a legally-binding oral contract and he must provide some form of redress to Sid. The paper also suggests that a third-party, Ed, is not legally culpable for breaching a contract made between he and Bob.

From the Paper
"The law of the United Kingdom is understandably complex. This paper will examine one of the subtleties of British law by reviewing the case of Bob the Builder and his strained relationship with a former client. Specifically, this paper will examine the key issues of the case, any misrepresentation that resulted from the dealings between Bob and Sid, and provide a conclusion that sums up the case. In the final analysis, it may be said that this situation is a classic example of what happens when otherwise intelligent people fail to plan ahead. Let us first proceed by examining the steps that led up to the present situation. To begin with, Sid entered into an agreement with Bob whereby the latter promised to build an extension onto the former's home by December 15."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while on first impression these two plays seem very different, when we focus on the element of tragedy in both plays, we can see the common themes they share.

From the Paper
""Blood Wedding" by Federico Garcia Lorca is one of the most important plays by the Spanish playwright in 1932 and was inspired by a true story. The play revolves around a wedding which leads to betrayal, elopement, bloodshed and tragedy. The few main characters in the play are Bridegroom, Bride, Leonardo and Bridegroom's mother. Henrik Ibsen's The Master Builder was written much earlier in 1892 and deals with complex personality of Harvald Solness, a famous architect who is scared of change. He doesn't let youth prevail for he feels that if younger men enter the field, they would take over his place. He doesn't want to be replaced and is thus paralyzed by his fear of younger generation. "So that is it, is it? Halvard Solness is to see about retiring now! To make room for younger men!" "

Abstract
Henrik Ibsen's play "The Master Builder" explores the complexities of the human mind. This paper shows that through the mental processes of the character, Solness, Ibsen illustrates the power of guilt, a force so strong that it alienates him from his world, the people in his life and, more importantly, himself. Guilt manifests itself through fear and confusion and causes him to make several mistakes. Solness never learns who he is and in a final attempt to find himself, he loses everything.

From the Paper
"Here we see how Ibsen is operating from the perspective that our inner, unmet desires possess the ability to make us feel guiltier than our fulfilled desires. As shown through Solness, this psychological force has the power to turn one against oneself if not kept in check. An excellent example of this can be seen in how Solness does not feel guilty for his circumstance with Kaja but does feel guilt over his lust for Hilde. Here we see how Ibsen is focusing on the power of the inner self, emphasizing that it is a formidable force. In fact, it might even be said that the inner world in which ones lives is more realistic than one's actual world."

Abstract
This paper seeks to illustrate that sweatshops are morally justified, although the media coupled with progressive academic scholars portray sweatshops as proof that capitalism is immoral. The paper explains that the Classic Liberal Position (CLP) operates by the principle that economic progress ought to freely continue, irrespective of perpetuated harm; in other words, insofar as an act respects basic human rights and is conducive to economic prosperity, it is morally justified. The paper argues that sweatshops sow the seeds for future prosperity. The paper also touches on cyclical economic development and the rise of China. The paper concludes that due to decades of outsourcing manufacturing to foreign countries, Americans no longer produce enough to sustain their consumption, and are destined for lower wages and poorer working conditions - ironically, for exactly the opposite reason many third world workers are enjoying constantly improving living standards. This paper includes an illustrative chart.

From the Paper
"The results of a Chinese economy inspired by the CLP are breathtaking. Since 1978 China's Gross Domestic product has grown at an unprecedented annual rate of 10%. Thanks to billions of dollars of foreign investment - courtesy of American multinationals - hundreds of millions of Chinese people were liberated from poverty in three short decades. China's death rate plummeted, literacy soared and the male to female gap dropped significantly.
"And China is just one example. Singapore and South Korea were popular targets for sweatshop crusaders in the 1970's. American companies were universally loathed for exploiting their vulnerable foreign workers. 40 years later, after free market economists resurrected their respective economies through privatisation and deregulation, Singapore is considered the world's most liveable city and South Korea is battling Japan for the rights to the most technologically advanced nation."

Abstract
This paper studies the positive impact of having e-mail on board merchant ships and how it would help boost the morale of the sailors. The author shows that both the U.S. Navy and NASA have provided e-mail access to crews and families that resulted in increased morale and decreased negative attitude and behavior. The author concludes that merchant marine companies should provide e-mail access to employees for personal use. This position paper cites examples of the positive effects e-mail use has had on space craft, naval, and merchant ships. Arguments against the use of personal e-mail are evaluated and rejected.

From the Paper
"On December 10, 2001 the following was published in The Union Leader: "when you least expect it, you get a message that makes your heart swell with pride. Last week, Dave and Barbara Warren got just such an e-mail. It came from their son, His name is Matt Warren". He's a Fire Control Officer aboard the USS Leyte Gulf. That's an Aegis Cruiser. Basically it's a weapon ship laden with Tomahawk missiles. She's part of the battle group running alongside the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Arabian Sea. Matt's e-mail came with a photo attachment. It's a simple photo. It's the kind of photo sailors send home all the time. It shows Matt, in uniform, with an M-60 machine gun slung over his shoulder He's also cradling a flag in his arms. It's not just any flag. ?It's the flag they raised at the World Trade Center,? Barbara said. "it's the same flag that was in the picture that showed the firemen raising the flag on Sept.11th".

Abstract
The paper explores and compares two books on architecture, "Le Corbusier" by Kenneth Frampton and "Master Builders" by Peter Blake. The paper shows that both books discuss the life and works of architect Le Corbusier, although they differ in that Frampton's book focuses mainly on Le Corbusier while Blake studies equally the works of Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright.

From the Paper
"According to Frampton, Corbusier was most likely the most famous and certainly the most controversial architect of the twentieth century. His impact on the urban fabric and the way all have lived has been enormous due to the richness and diversity of his work as well as his fervently expressed philosophy of architecture. Thus, the author weaved through his long and prolific life that was recurrent themes, his permanent drive towards new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the U'it d'Habitation at Marseille. Furthermore, he detailed his evolving concepts of urban form, which included the Plan Vision of 1925 along with its cruciform towers that were imposed on the city of Paris and finally his work at Chandigarh in India; and his belief in a new technocratic order (Barnes and Noble)."
