Abstract
This paper discusses the political, economic, and social impacts of the Cape Wind Project proposed for Cape Cod. According to the paper, the Cape Wind Project is a proposed wind-turbine project off the shoreline of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. The paper first presents the supporters outlook on the project followed by the oppositions viewpoint, which is the author's position. The author introduces himself by name and describes the current situation in Cape Cod and his arguments against implementation of the project. These are done in a point-by-point approach. The author concludes by stating that he is not against renewable energy, just the location of this project.

From the Paper
"In addition, the developers of the project have been misleading the public about the costs of the project, and the costs of the electricity it will produce. The federal Minerals Management Service (MMS) is the federal agency in charge of assessing and approving the wind farm, but it has failed to inform the public on the true costs of the project. Current electricity prices in Massachusetts average about $66 per Megawatt Hour (MWh), and MMS asserts costs for the Cape Wind Project could go as high as $122 MWh, or even higher if federal subsidies for the project are factored in ("The Economy"). This has been the case in other projected wind farm projects, and has been the reason many have been canceled or put on hold."

Abstract
This paper examines the book "Cape Cod" by Henry Davis Thoreau which recounts his experiences on walking excursions around Cape Cod during the mid 1800's in which he described much about the unspoiled nature present throughout the Cape at that time. It evaluates his perceptions of ecology and the environment through his observations, by the way he describes the plant and animal life of the area as well as his experiences with the fisherman. It concludes with how Theoreau might have been another Charles Darwin if he had the studied zoology or botany rigorously, instead of simply celebrating the differences.

From the Paper
"Throughout the book, Thoreau notes things that we would celebrate today, such as exceptionally clean water. He describes swimming in such water with great delight, and comments on the fish he can see clearly swimming around his feet. This suggests that fish were more bountiful then than now, as well as the water cleaner. He also notes the thorn-apple growing around the edges of a small island, suggesting an ecological balance, with the plant helping fight the erosion of the little island."

Abstract
This paper proposes a research project using the Rostovian take-off model and Keynesian theory to analyze if the FIFA World Cup really did stimulate the economic growth of South Africa, and especially of Cape Town, through government and foreign direct investment mainly from FIFA. The appraisal of the World Cup's effect on Cape Town, the author indicates, will include factors such as employment, income generation, tourism growth and the impact on informal traders, communities and construction workers. The paper describes a deductive explanatory approach with a mono-method strategy using a survey based on non-probability convenience sampling methodology. The paper includes figures and a Gantt chart.

From the Paper
"The bids placed by countries and cities to host mega sports events such as the World Cup have increased significantly over the past years. This research proposal throws light on the impact of the event on infrastructural development of the host country and how the event added to economic performance. The promotion and infrastructural cost for holding the World Cup boosted the economic performance of South Africa by 0.05%. Keynesian economics is the main manner used to identify this multiplying effect on respective investments. Countries spend huge amounts of money on upgrading the stadiums and other infrastructural upgrades."

Abstract
This paper relates that the first "Cape Fear's" technical uses of camera angles caused many film critics to call it "Hitchcockian", but this broad designation neglects another: Hitchcock's use of suspense and his simultaneous embrace of the grotesque. The author believes that American director, Martin Scorsese, shares Hitchcock's use of humor; but technically, Scorsese is less apt than Hitchcock to use sharp camera angles. Scorsese's camera is more apt to linger, as well as to jump-cut. The author contends that the second "Cape Fear" is more horrific than the first film because the modern viewer of the 1990s and beyond is so much more apt to identify with the difficulties and complexities exhibited by the characters, as opposed to the more 'perfect' setting that is intruded upon in the first film.

From the Paper
"This is not to deny the impact of J. Lee Thompson's unique style. Scorsese and J. Lee Thompson differ from each other in that the earlier filmmaker was always apt to cast a mythological tone to his use of narrative. In contrast to both Hitchcock's suspenseful humor and Scorsese's suspenseful characterization and brutal view of common humanity, Thompson prefers to view the world as a morality play. Thus, the starkness of good and evil in the film is not due to the filmmaker's naivet, but the way he reads "Beauty and the Beast's" influence on the modern day justice system. "

From the Paper
"The three leading states in installation of wind power during 2005 are currently expected to be Texas, Oklahoma and New York. According to the industry spokesmen, the growth of the industry is expected to be sustained and even increase further due to the impact of the Congress extending the wind energy production tax credit through December 31, 2007. This is expected to ensure the growth of wind power in United States by 51 percent and reach a total of 14,000 megawatts. This growth will affect the growth of use of natural gas, and that is used mainly for industry and heating of houses. Only a quarter of the energy is used for producing power. The environmental impact of the wind power produced in United States during 2005 will reduce the emission of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by about 7 billion pounds. This is the same as keeping 500,000 sports utility vehicles out of the roads."

From the Paper
"Films make a number of assumptions about gender based on audience beliefs and expectations, and these are derived from the social structure prevalent at the time the film is made. A given film may present different images of gender roles through different characters. In both Fatal Attraction (1987) and the 1992 version of Cape Fear, there are gender roles based on the nuclear family that are held up as preferred or "normal" roles, and these are countered either by the actual behavior of some family member or by an outside force representing a different sexual energy, a different gender role. The films deliberately contrast what the filmmakers see as "normal" gender roles and deviant gender roles, and in both cases the deviant sexual energy threatens the family unit to such a degree that the outside force has to be killed to restore order to the family."

"This paper is an examination of the forces that shape individual growth and development during the early years of life, using a systems theory approach to considering such development. It focuses on Lark Ann Erhardt, the fictional narrator of Faith Sullivan's novel, The Cape Ann. Lark is six years old at the beginning of the book, and her growth throughout provides a remarkable and realistic portrait of the ways in which biological, psychological, social, and environmental elements affect individual development. Lark provides an intriguing case study of how a child learns codes of behavior and morality, deals with death, develops abstract thinking, establishes sexual identity, and starts to define her individual place in the world. The story is set during the end of the 1930s and the early 1940s, and Lark's case demonstrates the effects of historical..."

Abstract
This study examines racial/ethnic issues in relation to achievement motivation and perceptions of achievement motivation in groups of South African university students. The study asks if achievement motivation is significantly related to differences in students' racial/ethnic background. It also questions whether perceptions of other racial/ethnic groups' levels of achievement motivation are significantly related to differences in students' racial/ethnic background. It then asks if achievement motivation is significantly related to differences in where students attend school (Fort Hare or Western Cape) and whether perceptions of other racial/ethnic groups' levels of achievement motivation significantly related to differences in where students attend school (Fort Hare or Western Cape).

From the Paper
"The background of this study examination of achievement motivation as it relates to ethnic differences in groups of South African college students is really the history of South Africa and its ethnic diversity, tensions, and conflict. South Africa, located at the southern tip continent of Africa, has a population of 45.1 million people. It is slightly less than twice the size of Texas and boasts of high sweeping plateaus, towering mountains, deep valleys and beautiful beaches lining its long, fertile coast. Ethnically and racially diverse, South Africa is about 75.2 percent black, 8.6 percent Colored (mixed-race), 13.6 percent white, and 2.6 percent Indian. Most whites, coloreds and blacks (about 60 percent of each group) are Christians. However, there is a Hindu minority to which about 60 percent of the Indians belong; of the remaining groups, most are Muslims."

Abstract
This geography paper discusses the issue of homelessness in the everyday life of the Japan. The author points out looking at everyday life from the perspective of homeless people can be a very interesting exercise, which allows an observer to understand a society's feelings about homelessness, work, alienation, family relationships and the intrinsic value of human life. The paper relates that that Kobo Abe's "The Box Man" is about homelessness, while the Kenji Nakagami's "The Cape has a character who happens to be homeless in the ghetto, which is already poor.

From the Paper
"Everyday life in every society is seen from a wide range of perspectives. This means that everyday life can be seen as something completely different from the perspective of a working person or a homeless person. Looking at everyday life from the perspective of homeless people can be a very interesting exercise because it allows an observer to understand a society's feelings about homelessness, work, alienation, family relationships and the intrinsic value of human life. Two stories that explore homelessness in the everyday life of Japanese people are "The Box Man" by Kobo Abe and "The Cape" by Kenji Nakagami."
