From the Paper
"This study will discuss the importance of towns in Europe in the 12th Century.

Generally, the emergence of developing towns in the 12th Century brought about a strengthening of the economy and the social structure. Commerce increased rapidly as a result, and "closely related causally to this increase in trade was a revival of specialized craftsmanship and the development of towns".

The development of towns, then, played a major role in a general revival of trade throughout Western Europe, and in the reemergence of an economy based on money.

Up until the time when towns began to develop and affect the course of the economy in Europe, trade had been stifled due to unstable routes dominated by warring factions, and by the simple ... "

Abstract
In this paper, the primary scholarship examined in this study relating to poetry between the 9th and 12th century Islamic reveals a slow and ambivalent fusion and eventual divergent view of secular and spiritual themes. The early poems of the Abbasid and Central Asian traditions of poetry reveal the use of many secular images that invariably are connected to the religious values that were part of the strict moral codes of Islam in its early development. However, with the consolidation of these spiritual values over the 10th and 11th centuries, the 12th century offered a far more spiritual look into natural and metaphysical themes in the Andalusian style.

Abstract
A detailed analysis of the mental condition of Prince Hamlet, including the symptoms present in the play, they're effects, and the implications. The author discusses Hamlet's fascination with death, his deep depression, and his frequent thoughts of suicide.

From the Paper
"The preponderance of evidence that has been displayed clearly points to the conclusion that Hamlet was indeed clinically depressed. The disease's onset is in the young adult years, it is disabling, resulting in a period of productive time lost, and it has social effects on the patient, as well as his family, as stated by the National Institute for Mental Health. One can also conclude that had his depression been diagnosed and treated, than the story of Hamlet would not have been a tragedy. He would no longer have been possessed by such handicapping self-doubt, obsessed with suicide and death, continually sad and unhappy and unable to make decisions. In fact, he would not have been the Hamlet that has been made famous (or perhaps infamous) by William Shakespeare."

Abstract
This paper examines several common factors that were responsible for the presence of regional and global conflict during the 20th Century. According to the paper, in terms of relative explanatory strength, the most significant factors were destabilizing great power rivalries fueled by competition for imperial possessions and colonies. Additionally, the paper notes that the pursuit of political and economic dominance, incompatible ideologies, aggressive foreign policies that disrupted the balance of power, misperceptions about a rival power's intentions, and lingering hostility because of previous conflicts all combined to generate regional and international conflict during the turbulent 20th Century.

Abstract
Modern European / Western education finds in its current form, roots that stretch back to Socrates and further to the earliest forms of oral histories and story-telling. The western model of education is based almost exclusively upon lecture, experience and review, is graduated in complexity and content over time, and covers, in general, approximately 12 years of a student's life. The content of lessons, regardless of context and subject, generally follow a specific structure with a philosophy of development that finds its origins in Locke, Rousseau, and Pasteur. During the 19th century, on the heels of the Age of Enlightenment and through the Romantic Era, education underwent fundamental changes. Many different factors influenced the form and content of that education, most significantly, perhaps, being that of nationalizing and standardizing the educational system. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the history of educational systems during the 19th century Europe, differences in gender-involvement, the influence of Napoleon, Locke, Rousseau, Pasteur and other thinkers from the Enlightenment and Romantic periods, all with the intent of demonstrating how our modern model of education has been shaped and determined by these factors.

Abstract
This paper looks into the Greek economy before the 5th century. The author examines reasons for its take off and how it affected Greek society.

From the Paper
"During the fifth century BC, Greek city-states were the dominant powers in the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black Seas. The poleis built an empire that spanned from the coast of Spain to the Black Sea in modern day Ukraine. The springboard for the economic boom was Persian War. Before the war, Greek was economically prosperous and powerful land but was not the economic juggernaut it was in the fifth century. The backbone of this juggernaut was the robust Greek economy. Greece's economy did not become powerful overnight. Some of the factors in this economic machine were in place for hundreds of years. Greece already built great colonies and had a strong trade network. It also already possessed strong industry. A few obstacles blocked Greece's path to economic dominance. During the fifth century, these obstacles were removed and Greece could finally fully utilize their economic potential."

Abstract
This paper covers the evolution of child labor laws from 19th Century England through the present. The author discusses harsh working conditions endured and injuries suffered by children. Cited are specific pieces of legislation and non-profit campaigns aimed at stopping the phenomenon.

From the Paper
"Child labor in 19th century England was a shameful practice that many of us never look back on. The displaced working classes took it for granted that a family would not be able to support itself if the children were not employed. Therefore, children as young as five years old were working 12 hour shifts for less then 20 dollars a day. The conditions in which these children worked were below standards. It was a long and deadly fight to regulated child labor laws in England during the 19th century. Today many of us take for granted the regulations on child labor; we act as if this is how it has been since the beginning. What we do not realize is how much child labor has progressed since the 19th century. Three hundred years may sound like a long time but when you consider how life was for a child then and compare it to a child's life today, I think you'll begin to come to a better understanding of exactly what we have gone through to get where we are today."
