Abstract
Schumpeter's economic theories as they are outlined in "Capitalism, Democracy and Socialism" differ significantly from the neo-classical view of economics. The neo-classical view is outlined-with reference to Adam Smith as a representative neo-classical economist--and contrasted with Schumpeter's theories. Schumpeter's absorption of Marxism, his views on markets and monopolies, and his ruminations on the future of capitalism are highlighted and contrasted with the neo-classical paradigm.

Abstract
The paper argues that the most important element of classical music is rhythm. The paper explains that the chief reason for this is not simply that music starts in the mind with a peculiar beat to which is subsequently added words; rather, rhythm matters because rhythm ensures unity amongst the various performers in a group and ensures that the song is predictable and understandable to the audience. Further, the paper discusses how rhythm is ultimately the one element in western music - not just classical music - that is integral to melody, harmony and to more esoteric things such as timbre and texture. Last of all, the paper argues that the peculiarities of music in the western context is what sets apart western music (classical or otherwise) from music performed anywhere else in the world. Ultimately, the paper concludes that if you do not have rhythm, you lack the solid foundation you need to become a proficient musician.

From the Paper
"The following paper will argue that the most important element of classical music is rhythm. The chief reason for this is not simply that music starts in the mind with a peculiar beat to which is subsequently added words; rather, rhythm matters because rhythm ensures unity amongst the various performers in a group and ensures that the song is predictable and understandable to the audience.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the ideology of classical liberalism. The writer notes that this ideology was introduced in the 19th century and has entered into the 21st century. The writer maintains that classical liberalism helps one to understand the role of the individual in political and social life.

From the Paper
"A supremely confident advocate of the ideology of classical liberalism has written that, "among the ideologies that emerged in the 19th century, and that structured political debate during that century and the following one, classical liberalism has clearly established its ascendancy in the 21st century . . . its singular merit is to help us understand the foundational role of the individual in political and social life." Furthermore, he asserts that," in a globalist, post-Westphalian age, other ideologies have been rendered irrelevant."

Abstract
This paper compares the Classical or "neoclassical style" of the 17th century and the Romantic style of the 19th century. The paper explains that with the reliance on Greek architecture to provide a more republican ideology, Europeans relied on large-scale civic works like the Vilnius Cathedral and Soufflot's Pantheon to emulate a desire to a return to classical times.

From the Paper
"This study will analyze the Romantic and Classical movement of the 18th century as an predecessor to the growing ergonomic functionalism of architecture into the industrial 19th century. By understanding the premise that "form follows function", the primary evolution of European and American architecture from classicism was eventually changed over into the even more ergonomic function of industrial buildings of the late and early twentieth century. By understanding the influence of industrialization on 19th century romantic and classical architecture,..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the details which characterize the musical romantic and classical periods. It begins with a look at the classical styles and its composers, and then moves to address the romantic style and its composers. It concludes that distinct differences in purpose, emotion, form, function and fusion of musical genres are apparent in the two.

From the Paper
"Classical music ranged from about 1750 to 1820, at which point Romantic music became the current style, which itself lasted until around the year 1900. As one inevitably lead into the other, their characteristics perhaps can be best described when they are fully compared to one another. The classical style, as exemplified by its composers, was more fixated on form, design, balance and grace, while romantic style instead aimed at fusing together musical genres to capture the true, expressive spirit of the work, as likewise captured by the composers of this era. The classical period aimed backwards in history, attempting to recreate the classical period of the past in Grecian and Roman terms. Classical music, like many other periods, had variations of its styles. Beginning as a courtly style, which most likely was a remnant of the previous baroque period, it was intended to please the ..."

Abstract
This essay critiques an experiment testing the use of classical music to improve the test scores of a number of spatial tasks. The paper describes the methodology of the experiment and discusses the findings, particularly that exposure to complexly-structured classical music leads to an improvement in abstract reasoning ability.

From the Paper
"In the experiment studying music and spatial task performance, the purpose was to "demonstrate the correlation between music cognition and cognitions pertaining to abstract operations such as mathematical or spatial reasoning." The experimenter's findings were that: exposure to complexly-structured classical music leads to an improvement in abstract reasoning ability. According to the statistics, this hypothesis seems correct, but there are a number of aspects of the study which are in need of improvement. One weak area of the study is length of time the music was played for. In the study, the students listened to ten minutes of classical music, ten minutes of a relaxation tape, and ten minutes of silence, prior to performing standard IQ spatial reasoning tasks."

Abstract
The following discussion provides an analysis of the Classical Era, which represents much of the work of Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn. The writer points out that these composers have withstood the test of time due to their valuable and significant contributions to the classical music genre, and their unique works continue to be enjoyed by individuals of all ages and cultures.

From the Paper
"The role of classical music as a bona fide art form is of critical importance to the development of music as a means of true artistic expression. During one of the most formidable periods of classical music, which took place during the 1700s and 1800s, there was a reintroduction of traditional forms to the music genre, which provided a means of structure and symmetry that was not evident for some time. This period in music history provided a greater emphasis on simplicity, and it removed some of the emotional context that Baroque music was known for. This era is perhaps best known for the development of the following musical forms: symphonies, sonatas, and concertos, all of which provided enormous contributions to the period as a whole."

Abstract
Classical conditioning is a form of learning in which the subject begins to associate a behavior with a certain stimuli. This paper discusses classical and operant conditioning, rephrasing what they are, and explaining them with real-life examples.

From the Paper
"In classical conditioning, an unconditioned stimulus (something that will always lead to a reaction of some type) leads to an unconditioned response (a natural reaction to the UCS). A neutral stimulus (NS) becomes paired with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS). This is also called the Pavlovian conditioning because Ivan Pavlov discovered classical conditioning in an experiment involving dogs. Eventually, the pairing of the NS and the UCS leads to an UCR. The conditioned stimulus (CS), which used to be the NS, will be associated with a response (CR). The CS really has no connection to the response but through the conditioning, the subject learns to associate their conditioned response with the CS."

Abstract
This paper looks at how conclusions of the neo classical model of prices and markets are undermined by the existence of market failure and by the implied assumption that economic agents do not learn from experience.

Abstract
This paper examines the Christian Church from the medieval times to the classical period. It explores the European society formed by the Church beginning in the year 1100 A.D. The paper describes that the Church enabled social mobility, participation in government, the growth of literature, and territorial expansion through warfare. The paper demonstrates that the Church held centralized religious power in contrast to religion's role in the Greek and Roman society, where the state and its citizens ruled.

From the Paper
"Religion has always been present in civilizations; however, its position and influence on societies has greatly differed. This difference is exemplified by contrasting the religious institutions of the classical world with the medieval period. By and large, the Greeks and Romans had no structured places of worship, leaving their mode of praise to the confines of their homes. By not having a centralized institution of worship, their religion did not have an organized power structure. As time progressed, the beliefs of the classical period faded and a new religion emerged, Christianity. The proliferation of Christianity throughout Europe in the waning of the classical world and the onset of the Middle Ages brought about the establishment of the Church. With the strong worldview of Christianity, the Church became a central entity and greatly contributed to the shaping of a new civilization that was very different from the classical period. The Church gave definition and direction to this era by providing social mobility, participation and perpetuation of government, the preservation and growth of literature, and espoused and justified expansion through warfare."
