Abstract
This essay is a case brief with additional comments focusing on certain issues in the case, dealing with a particularly gruesome death by starvation and dehydration of a ninety-two year old man who put himself in the care defendants, who systematically hid him while they neglected him while they looted his bank account, and when that was exhausted simply allowed him to starve and die of thirst. The writer discusses that on appeal, their convictions were affirmed.

From the Paper
"Defendants had a contract to provide the deceased, an elderly invalid, with care in their home. Instead, they isolated him in a rural site and deprived him of food and water, causing his death. Charged with murder, they contended that they had no legal duty to care for him. The jury ruled that the defendants had a contract to care for the deceased, and that this imposed on them a legal duty to provide such care, so that the failure to do so amounted to third degree murder. Found guilty, the defendants appealed."

Abstract
This paper presents a general description of the Pantheon, its architectural elements and a brief history. It includes photographs of the Pantheon and quotations from various scholarly sources.

From the Paper
"The Pantheon, built in 125 AD, is a testament to Rome's rich artisanship and architecture throughout the ages. It is renowned as one of Italy's most beautiful buildings, and at present is the oldest standing piece of domed architecture in Rome. view from the Piazza della Rotonda The Pantheon was built after the Battle of Actium (31 BC) by Agrippa, though this original structure was destroyed in a huge fire approximated around 80 AD. It began as a tribute to the gods, and is full of symbolism: "The spherical form symbolizes the cosmos, the opening in the center of..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of television commentators when delivering news reports. In particular, it notes that commentary by various people during a broadcasted event is largely from a concern on the part of broadcasters that people will get bored if they are left simply to watch and decide on their own. The voices of commentators are used to keep the public tuned to the given station, and the commentary can often be intrusive to any viewer who wants only to see and hear the real situation.

From the Paper
"Television presents a certain image of the world that is often seen as distorted, and this applies even when what is seen is a real event. For one thing, most television presentations include commentary by various people during the event, largely from a concern on the part of broadcasters that people will get bored if they are left simply to watch and decide on their own. The voices of commentators are used to keep the public tuned to the given station, and the commentary can often be intrusive to any viewer who wants only to see and hear the real situation. Certain types of event are common and are recognized by the average viewer as fitting into a specific category, and an ethnographic analysis of the..."

Abstract
The paper looks at how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approaches the issue of quarantine and isolation and then examines Michelle Daubert's article "Comment: Pandemic Fears and Contemporary Quarantine: Protecting Liberty through a Continuum of Due Process Rights" where she reviews the history of the quarantine. The paper looks at Daubert's discussion of legal limits on the government's ability to impose a quarantine and the current quarantine procedural due process requirements at both the federal and state levels. Finally, the paper reviews Daubert's examination of the ways that due process guarantees can be protected if the country is faced with a large-scale quarantine.

From the Paper
"In this article, Daubert discusses the legal ramifications of quarantine. Before undertaking a study of Daubert's article, it is useful to understand how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approaches the issue of quarantine and isolation. First, the CDC defines isolation and quarantine. Isolation refers to separation of people who have already contracted an infectious illness from the healthy population, while quarantine refers to the separation of people who have been exposed to an infectious illness from the general population (CDC, 2005). The CDC stresses that both isolation and quarantine can be voluntary or mandatory. State and local authorities have the power to compel isolation and quarantine based on their police powers, which give them the authority to safeguard the health of its citizens (CDC, 2005)."

Abstract
The late Alootook Ipellie's short stories are particularly skillful in terms of showing Inuit cultural change's irony in the 20th century; remarks on Ipellie's background that enabled him to comment objectively in Inuit versus southern Canadian culture; the need to preserve myths and stories and understand adjustments since 1950 in particular as the nomadic hunting culture gave way to government settlements.

From the Paper
Alootook Ipellie's Notes on Inuit Culture & Change. Introduction The late Inuit author and artist, Alootook Ipellie (1951-2007) may not have been recognized as much as he deserved in life. The tremendous interest shown in different kinds of Indigenous cultural decline and revival, in the last generation in Canada, rather missed the input of a person who knew practitioners of the Inuit pre-Christian religion born before the 1950s government settlement initiative that meant for many families the end of their nomadic hunting culture. Ipellie belonged to the first generation of Inuit youths raised in planned settlements, in his

Abstract
The paper illustrates how Lodovico defines the immorality and cruelty in Othello's behaviors that will eventually end in his tragic death. The paper explains that Lodovico as a marginal character is written into the play by Shakespeare to help the reader realize the gravity of Othello's actions and the inevitable tragedy that surrounds the deceptions of Iago.

From the Paper
"Lodovico's role as moral commentator on Othello's behaviors brings insights into the tragedy of the play, which many of the other characters are too self-involved to perceive. In latter parts of the play, Othello's increasingly violent behaviors are clearly noticed when he strikes Desdemona: "Is this the noble Moor whom our full Senate/Call all in all sufficient?" (IV, i., ll.2712-2713). This increasingly potent sense of volatility on the part of Othello is clearly defined by Lodovico, who can see the immorality of this action against a woman. Shakespeare portrays Lodovico as a moral gauge that allows the audience to realize the effects of Othello's behavior through an external source (Bloom 45)."

Abstract
This paper is in the format of a letter, written to Dr. Margaret Newman commenting on her nursing theory. In particular, the letter focuses on the health issues associated with the elderly. It also points out the patterns in functional limitations in the elderly that produce several impacts with the main one being depression since the limitations are stressors.

From the Paper
"Dear Doctor Newman, I find that the theory of health as expanding consciousness is, as you state on your website, "for those for whom health as the absence of disease or disability is not possible" (Newman, 2008, p. 1). Older people experience increasing problems such as impaired physical mobility and activity intolerance. According to Schieman and Plickert (2007), there are patterns in functional limitations in the elderly that produce several impacts with the main one being depression since the limitations are stressors. Meanwhile, the health status of older persons is not uniform..."

Abstract
This paper comments that, while living in cities provides obvious benefits such as art and culture, access to food and medicine and trade, there is an adverse effect as well. The paper refers to a number of articles by Brechin, Pena, and Foster, among others, who all write on the subject. The writer concludes that, while each article may have some value, the reality is that we do live in cities and, at least in the foreseeable future, will continue to do so.

From the Paper
"There must be few citizens of the 21st century - at least few who are citizens of both the 21st century and the First World - who do not view the city as a problematic accomplishment of humanity. Certainly, cities are the highest expression of human civilization, at least in some ways: They support the flourishing of the arts and culture, of haute cuisine and high-tech medicine, of universities and research labs. But cities are also the expressions of the worst that humans have created, both in terms of how we treat each other and in terms of how we treat the planet, as the readings that we are examining for this paper argue. The city is many things, but it is and always has been essentially a site of commerce, and the basing of relationships upon commercial grounds is never unproblematic."

Abstract
This paper discusses racism with relation to the video sharing site, YouTube. It describes the principle and growth of the site. The paper then discusses the fact that the comment boards of popular videos can contain insults, threats, profanity and, to a large and unsettling extent, racism. The paper defines racist comments and then discusses how this phenomenon can occur.

From the Paper
"When a user joins YouTube, he or she must agree to the site's Terms of Service. According to these terms, "You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to user submissions that are inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against YouTube." Though the phrase "may be" might more accurately read "will," this phrase captures both the strength and the potential failings of user-generated content. YouTube provides a freedom that, like all freedoms, is prone to abuse. The proliferation of racism on YouTube is both abhorrent and disheartening, but suggests a need for debate that currently is not or cannot be met by corporate media. While You Tube allows racism to reach a public audience, pushing racist sentiments out in the open simultaneously makes them vulnerable. Critically, the format of YouTube allows these sentiments to be criticized, debated, and ultimately debunked."

From the Paper
"This research examines Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman as a tragedy as defined by Aristotle in the Poetics. The research will set forth the context in which Death of a Salesman has been labeled a tragedy and against which it can be measured based on Aristotle's theory, and then argue that, although Miller's play is undoubtedly a serious drama and undoubtedly shares certain attributes with the classical definition, to consider it a tragedy in the Aristotelian sense would be to misconstrue Aristotle's definition and to grant too much interpretive power to Miller's own view of what he calls tragedy and the common man.
In order to show the relationship between Death of a Salesman and Aristotelian theory of tragedy, it is useful to examine Aristotle's definition of tragedy, which he says is..."
