Abstract
This paper examines how the modern concept of power in organizations has changed the role of the manager and the role of employees. The paper goes on to suggest that in today's workplace, a manager is no longer one who exercises absolute authority. The manager's role is now that of a facilitator and catalyst. As a result of this change in the concept of power, the controlling function of leadership has evolved. Today's employees enjoy a greater degree of control and power that was unheard of ten years ago.

From the Paper
"In today's society, human beings are exposed to and strongly influenced by many types of power. As a result of globalization and innovative technology, managers and employees alike are seeing rapid changes in their workplaces. The changes affect millions of people personally, as they have to deal with company downsizing and learning new skills."

Abstract
This paper explains that employment demand for IT professionals in this fastest growing industry creates excellent job opportunities especially in the professional and technical occupations. The author points out that in the computer field professional education does not stop with the college degree but must continue long-term with seminars, conferences and advanced courses and training to keep up with the rapid changes in the field. The paper state that architects must be licensed in the state in they work; most states require an NAAB-accredited first-professional degree with an internship period of typically three years in an architecture firm.

From the Paper
"When in high school, plan a college preparatory program strong in English, history, social studies, mathematics, physics, and foreign languages. If you can, add courses in business and computer science. It may surprise you to know that freehand drawing skills will be more useful to you than drafting ability. Because most state architectural licensing boards require a professional degree, you should pursue the first professional degree accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The most common first-professional degree programs are the five-year (undergraduate) Bachelor of Architecture and the six-year (undergraduate/graduate) Master of Architecture. Many students also prepare for a career in architecture with a four-year (undergraduate) liberal arts degree followed by a three- to four-year (graduate) Master of Architecture. An architecture curriculum is intensive and demanding, often requiring many hours of late-night effort."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the structure of the family in relation to the family power base. The writer notes that in homes where there are two parents and young children, the power base is generally decided upon gender, with the male making most of the family's primary decisions. The writer also discusses that the power base can alter in accordance to changes in circumstances and the family structure.

From the Paper
"In a home in which there is only one parent, that parent, regardless of gender is usually the power base within the family. Yet, as children age, grandparents move into the home, children attend college or the socioeconomic status of the family shifts, the power base may also change, making the individual with the most seniority, financial flow and wisdom the central power force in the home."

Abstract
This paper briefly reviews the choices made by a character in Virgil's Aeneid - specifically, the Trojan king Priam. The writer discusses that as becomes apparent, Priam makes two choices - the first to not kill Sinon, the second to interpret the death of Laocoon as a warning from the gods that the Trojan horse should be permitted inside Troy - that lead to the sacking of his city and to his own demise.

From the Paper
"All human affairs are, of course, about choice. Virgil's 'Aeneid', the classic telling of the founding of Rome by the Trojan prince Aeneas, is a great human drama that revolves, in large measure, around the choices human beings make - either by themselves or with the prodding of the Gods. This paper, in perhaps an unconventional departure, will focus upon the choices made by Priam in the final hours of his kingdom. Specifically, this paper will focus upon two choices made by the Trojan king that sealed his fate - and the fate of his city."

Abstract
This paper argues that the individual has more power than nature because the individual always has the choice to use nature to their advantage and can conquer the destructive forces of nature through contemplation, meditation and exerting personal power. This argument is based on the writing on Jack London, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry Thoreau. Through the exploration of their writings the argument for the power of the individual is reinforced.

From the Paper
"Philosophers and poets have contemplated and argued about the merits of the power of the individual versus the power of nature for centuries. Despite the points raised by writer Jack London on the power of nature, the power of the individual is the most influential in the overall wellbeing of the human spirit. Using the writings of Jack London, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, this paper will argue that the power of the individual is an extremely powerful force even when it has to face the destructive power of nature. Nature can be a powerful force but it is the individual that choices how..."

Abstract
Consumers have the power to change corporate policies all through the use of the almighty dollar. Therefore, consumers control and manipulate corporate policy through spending power. In his work, "Red, White, and Beer," Dave Barry posits that any product can sell in America if it is considered to be 'patriotic' (Barry 474). However, patriotic or not, if a company's policies are disagreeable to the consumer the product will not sell.

Abstract
The paper discusses the two alternatives of nuclear power and hybrid cars; both being economical enough to impact real change and be accepted into the energy spectrum. However, nuclear power has far more impact and has a proven track record. For example, the paper explains how nuclear power currently accounts for 20% of America's energy production and produces no carbon-dioxide. Hybrid cars, to this point, have only been able to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% and improve gas mileage by 2-3 mpg. This type of effect is simply on too small a scale to be economically viable or have an impact on the environment. The paper concludes that nuclear power, which is reemerging as a power source ready to expand, is the more viable option to reduce CO2 emissions.

From the Paper
"For years alternative energy sources have been a major controversy. The debate has influenced many other areas besides simply energy consumption. It has clearly impacted the economic, political, and social climates of countries around the world. Nuclear power and hybrid cars are two alternatives that have been economical enough to impact real change and be accepted into our energy spectrum. Both of these alternatives are environmentally conscious and are helping to reduce carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere; however, clearly one is of greater use in the fight against CO2. Nuclear power has and will continue to be the major clean fuel source in the US, despite the positive impact of hybrid automobiles."

Abstract
This paper evaluate the role of power in an organization and in business. The author explains how manager's power affects subordinates and explains why conflict is both good and bad for an organization.
The paper describes the main conflict resolution strategies.

From the Paper
"An example of formal power is the power that is department managers possess to manage and to delegate work to his or her subordinates. This formal power is given to the department manager based on his or her position in the company. This type of power is not the result of decisions made the department manager's peers or subordinates. The power is the result of a decision that placed him or her in the position as department manager. One example of this type of formal power ..."

Abstract
This paper looks at both sides of the nuclear power debate. It focuses on global warming, political violence and the likelihood of change. The author looks at Chernobyl, and Three Mile lsland and how activists on both sides used it to further their message. It also looks at different facilities, their monitoring processes and ways to decrease the chances of accidents occurring in these plants. It also looks at recent incidents at nuclear facilities in the United States, Japan and Germany that have led to the re-evaluation of those government's nuclear policies. As a final note, the author presents many examples of demonstrations against the use of nuclear power, worldwide, to show how this has become a global issue.

From the Paper
"Yet, dissenting voices call attention to the dangers of nuclear power: specifically, the devastating effects of the explosion at Chernobyl of the former Soviet Union in 1986, and the contamination of the plant Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania which happened earlier, in 1979. The Chernobyl explosion sent nuclear fallout for miles immediately surrounding the plant, making much of the land uninhabitable. In addition, radiation that caused severe environmental damage to the surrounding areas has been attributed to rising cancer rates throughout Europe. Though the plant at Three Mile Island did not suffer such a catastrophe due to a containment facility, which prevented radioactive materials from being released into the atmosphere, and therefore avoided severe environmental damage, the plant is now thoroughly contaminated, and it cannot be destroyed. Environmentalists argue that increased safety precautions are not enough; accidents like the aforementioned can, and will, happen again. The sound the call not for more nuclear power plants, but the halt of production of new nuclear power plants, and in some cases, argue that nuclear energy in its entirety should be phased out of the energy equation (Janger et. al., 219)."

Abstract
This paper argues that the ideological point made in Pamela S. Haag's article "'The Real Thing': Ideologies of Love, Modern Romance and Women's Sexual Subjectivity in the United States, 1920-40" is correct. The author points out that Haag is saying that the subjective self is not an independent construct, but rather reflects the choices available in the surrounding political and social discourses. The paper claims that this becomes apparent when considering the world as a whole and the dominance of the capitalist discourse. The author stresses that fortunately discourses do change, which is abundantly clear when considering how women heroes have been warmly welcomed recently in popular films and television texts. The paper underscores that these female heroes are opening up new vistas of subjective possibilities for girls and women.

From the Paper
"For example, 1979 saw the arrival of the first popular female action hero, as Sigourney Weaver (playing Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley) bravely confronted terrifying alien creatures in the hugely successful science fiction film, "Alien". Then Ripley came back and kicked more alien butt in 1986, and again in 1992, and even rose from the dead to do it one more time, in 1997. And in this fourth reprise, Ripley's significant other (or close approximation thereof) was a female robot, played winningly by Winona Ryder."
