Abstract
This paper explains that social forces at play in this family demonstrate the challenges to individuals to maintain a social and cultural appearance of respectability and control in times when their own personal control is very limited. The author points out that the family's size, nine children soon to 10, is an extreme dynamic of the family. The paper relates that, due to the relatively young age of the children, the oldest being 12 and the youngest yet to be born; the limitation of the older children to care for the younger children is reflected in the family and the strain on the parents; the children also interact almost exclusively with one another and have very few outside friends.

From the Paper
"The mother is soft spoken so much so that her representation of self is cowed and her voice seems not to be heard by the officials, she sees in an attempt to gain help for her family. They seem willing to offer her very little help, other than limited support for her pregnancy. Her demeanor is an almost constant representation of powerlessness and lack of personal control. Collectively they have chosen not to use medical intervention to limit their family size, through either fear of the unknown or ignorance of the medical care available and this may also be a source of the official rejection of help for the family. Additionally, both parents are limited in the amount of unofficial social support, as they do not attend church or really do anything outside of the daily drudge of earning a living in the case of the father and taking care of children in the case of the mother. They do not have friends near by who will help them in times of need and they do not maintain connections with extended family that might serve the same purpose."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that although money can gain access to many things, money also brings many problems. The writer maintains that money brings the wrong kinds of friends, can often bring with it the wrong kind of spouse, is usually only acquired in high intensity professions that discourage an appropriate work-life balance, and can lead someone towards pursuing it at the risk of developing vital personal competencies like a sound character and interpersonal skills. The writer concludes that money can buy many things, but it is hardly a given that money can buy someone happiness.

From the Paper
"It may seem hard to believe, but money cannot - for the most part - buy happiness. It can buy groceries, a large home, access to important people (though this sort of thing is usually reserved for those who have a lot of money) and, in many instances, a welcome feeling of security - the sense that one's loved ones will be looked after if something should befall you. However, with all that said ... "

Abstract
In this paper, the validity of the belief that in a business setting culture cannot be managed is critically analyzed and arguments are made both for and against the statement. The paper also presents examples that suggest that organizational culture does play a very important role in the success of the organization. However, these same examples also serve to reinforce a contention about the inability of corporate culture or management to undergo change.

From the Paper
"It must be acknowledged that the assertion - "Culture cannot be managed" - would likely meet with some degree of skepticism from organizational management students as well as corporate professionals. However, it may be argued that there is some validity to the perspective on the relationship between management and organizational culture that is manifest in this assertion. Consider, for example, the case of software giant J.D. Edwards. The corporation's CEO and chairman, C. Edward McVaney, contends that the success of a business often has very little to do with its management and senior executives who - as is commonplace in corporate culture - often come and go with minimal impact upon the organization itself. It is McVaney's view that the success of an organization is based upon its culture, which is usually invulnerable to change by management or business leaders. In McVaney's words: "95% of the time, the leaders and management of a business do not lead and manage that business" (Jesitus 16)."

Abstract
The paper argues that Heinrich Hermann Hundmann's excuse for his actions at Auschwitz - namely, that he was only following orders - is indefensible; Mr. Hundmann knew what was unfolding, his dogs were being trained to facilitate the killings of huge numbers of people, and there is every reason to think that he had some opportunity to rebel against what was taking place - yet he chose not to do so. The paper explores this situation by looking briefly at the background of Mr. Hundmann and then the moral reasons why he cannot escape punishment.

Abstract
This paper argues that lying in business cannot be justified, even if it is to protect trade secrets. The paper uses two high profile cases as examples: Martha Stewart's case where she was found guilty of insider trading and the Enron scandal which involved the entire financial assets of the company.

From the Paper
"Some executives justifying to protect trade secrets or to maintain a competitive advantage that could affect their ability to remain profitable. There are those, however, who feel that lying calls an individual's-or a company's-integrity into question. If a company is willing to lie about its product, or its plans or in its advertising what else does it lie about? This research examines two recent high-profile instances of company executives caught lying and concludes that lying by company officials cannot be justified."

Abstract
The paper looks at how in his text "Minds, Brains and Programs", John Searle argues that artificial intelligence (AI) is not capable of performing any mental acts. The paper explains that Searle's argument is particularly aimed at what he calls "strong AI", an "appropriately programmed computer [that] really is a mind". The paper discusses how Searle builds an analogy between his ability to answer correctly the questions about the text in Chinese (which he does not understand) and AI's similar ability to answer simple questions about the text in English: both are based on the programs and not on understanding.

Abstract
The paper argues that, while there have been some cases in which women proved themselves to be worthy military leaders and good soldiers, an analysis of the qualities of the good military leader and the good combat soldier illustrates that women will not serve well in this capacity. It argues that the nature of the work itself versus the nature of the female, and the stereotypes surrounding women could serve as obstacles towards soldiers following a woman's command. Includes annotated bibliography.

From the Paper
"Leadership is defined as the sharing of responsibilities, where the leadership applied must be validated by the agreement of the followers. It is a studying of problems relying on past practices to ensure predictability, being willing to take risks and to consider new approaches. A leader should emphasize the importance of making decisions independently and consider himself as the prime vehicle for decision making. Leaders should have certain characteristics that set them apart from others. Good leaders develop through a never-ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience. However, the military leadership is defined as the process of influencing others to accomplish the mission by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. The efficient military leadership traits are efficiency, stability, vitality, action, power, endurance and maturity. Many have argued that females do not have these characteristics of military leadership as they are inferior to men and therefore cannot lead men. It is very probable that as Kim Field and John Nagl, both members of the U.S. military, argue, the physical inferiority of women compared to males, supported the general view of women as inferior. However, the stereotyped image of the woman as weak and needing the protection of a male figure has been destroyed."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed discussion about the crumbled marriages in two classic tales. Shakespeare's "Othello" and Isben's "Doll's Houses" both tell stories of crumbling marriages and deceitful acts by those who are close to the married couple which instigate and compound the problems.

From the Paper
"In the poem "'Heaven'--is what I cannot reach!," Emily Dickinson expresses a vision of heaven as beyond the reach of the human being. The poet's vision of heaven is of something unreachable, like an apple on a tree higher than she can reach. In one way, Dickinson sees heaven in mundane terms, as hiding behind the things of her world. At the same time, it remains always behind these things and so out of reach. Heaven may be something to which human beings aspire, but it is also something they can never achieve.

The way the word "heaven" is set off in the first line emphasizes that heaven is the subject of the poem. At the same time, using the word in this fashion creates an instantaneous image in the mind of the reader, who will have his or her own vision of heaven supported by the vision that is prevalent in the..."

Abstract
This paper explains that research demonstrates that chromosomes, the gene-carrying structures of an organism, are able to determine the level of an individual's intelligence. The author points out that scientists can measure particular inherited features by studying identical twins, who share the same genes, and can use molecular psychiatry to identify specific genes related to intelligence. The paper stresses the problem in genetic identification is that there are several forms of intelligence, such as academic intelligence, which is the traditional construct of intelligence; analytic intelligence, which is similar to academic intelligence and is suitable for testing on I.Q. tests; creative intelligence, which is, for example, a musical or artistic intelligence and cannot be accurately tested because it cannot be clearly defined; and practical intelligence, which cannot be tested because it, too, cannot be clearly defined.

From the Paper
"Intelligence is the measure of a person's mental ability to function and to solve everyday problems as well as random odd problems. Individuals differ from one another in their ability to adapt to the environment, to understand complex ideas, to learn from experience and to overcome certain obstacles by taking thought. All of these concepts make up an individuals intelligence level. The most common way to measure a person's intelligence in today's society, is the IQ test. The IQ test is a series of questions involving mathematics and other types of problems that is completed by the recipients and later graded. The grade on the test determines the person's intelligence level."
