Abstract
This ten-page senior level paper is on the book 'One Palestine, Complete' by Tom Segev who is a columnist for Ha'aretz, Israel's leading newspaper, and author of two now-classic works on the history of Israel, 1949: The First Israelis and The Seventh Million: The Israelis and the Holocaust. One Palestine Complete: Jews and Arabs under the British Mandate, is a panoramic view of life in Palestine during the three strife-torn but decades when Britain ruled and the seeds of today's conflicts were sown.

Abstract
This paper presents a report on the CD recording, "Complete Lute Works, Vol. 1". The paper describes the performer of the lute on the recording, how the tracks on the CD are setup, the degree of authenticity of the music and what the writer has learned from listening to the CD.

From the Paper
"Because my previous exposure to early music before this class was non-existent and that the only early music I have heard in class is mostly chant, this recording is very refreshing and brings a new perspective on early music to me. By using the lute, this recording deepened my understanding of early music by integrating a group of familiar instruments into a genre that I was relatively unfamiliar with. Through the instrumentation and performance of the lute, I now understand that chant was not the only genre of early music."

Abstract
This paper is very in-depth and complex as it delves into Greek and Classical philosophy and the Christian religion with its Jewish roots. The paper discusses differences and similarities between different classical philosophies and Christian thought and how each has influenced the other. The paper first defines Christianity as a philosophy and explains why it can be considered as such; it sets up a basis for comparison. Then the paper discusses the similarities between Christianity and "pagan" philosophies. When that subject is exhausted, it moves on to contrast the two. After the general classic philosophies, the paper compares and contrasts the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle, specifically, to Christianity. Finally, the paper "presents an argument for Christianity as a complete philosophy in the manner in which it can satisfy discrepancies in other philosophies while defending some of its own." The paper looks at problems with Greek philosophies and how Christianity solved them or presented an alternative.

From the Paper
"Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown, I am going to proclaim to you" (Acts 17:22-23, NIV). These words, spoken by Paul, mark the introduction of Christianity in Athens, Greece, a center of philosophy in the ancient world. Paul goes on to explain the heart of the religion to a group of Epicureans and Stoics in the marketplace. Some of the men "sneer" at him, but others ask him to speak of these "strange ideas" more so that they can understand. Acts 17:34 goes on to tell of several Greeks who become Christians as a result of Paul's message. The acceptance of Christianity as a new and interesting idea by some of the Athenian philosophers implies several things: first, that Christianity was itself viewed as a philosophy; second, that Christianity must have had something in common with the major philosophies of the day; and finally, that Christianity must have offered to some what the other philosophies of the day did not. Making these statements at this point in my paper may seem presumptuous; however, I am prepared to discuss my conclusions, first by showing that Christianity is a philosophy in the true sense of the word, then by comparing it to other philosophies, and finally, by showing how it "fills in the gaps" of other Greek philosophies."

Abstract
This paper reviews and positively critiques Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple", focusing on the character of Miss Marple. The paper demonstrates how, despite being a quiet octogenarian who loves knitting, Miss Marple has the mind of a natural sleuth. After citing several examples from the stories to demonstrate this thesis, the paper concludes that the mysteries are fun, quaint and picturesque, which also inspire a love of the heroine and prove to the reader that crime need not be bloody to be interesting.

From the Paper
"This is important because most of the twenty mysteries in The Complete Short Stories revolve around very ordinary settings. The first short stories began at the Tuesday Club, a social club formed by Miss Marple and her fellow old ladies her a small, English country town. The club was originally founded purely for the pleasures of social gatherings-but soon this club's purpose becomes a place of discussion of a variety of mysteries that prey upon the minds and the members of the club."

Abstract
This paper compares the historical narratives of Samuel de Champlain and William Bradford, both written during the early colonization period of North America. The paper discusses the differences in the two narratives.

From the Paper
"In the early history of colonization in North America, Samuel de Champlain and William Bradford were both instrumental in establishing written records of the period and the experiences of those first intrepid explorers and colonists. Indeed both men were personally involved in the exploration and settlement of several key areas along the eastern coast of the present day United States and Canada. However, while the two both experienced the new world of North America in the seventeenth century, their written histories of those experiences contain several interesting differences."

Abstract
This thesis finds that Henry James' images of New York can be studied and then grouped systematically according to various themes which they represent. These themes are compared, contrasted and analysed in detail. The thesis also finds that there is a clear development in style of the images from James' "early period" through to his "late period".

From the Paper
"I would now like to return to a discussion that was first invoked in Chapter II.III regarding theories of style, specifically: dualism, psychological monism and aesthetic monism. These theories are intrinsically interwoven with discussion of realism and, hence, images of New York in the works of Henry James. To discuss one of these, one needs to discuss the other. "Dualism" contends that a writer's intention may be expressed in a variety of ways. The writer's intention is "deeper" than his expression of it. "Psychological monism" shows that the author's intention directly relates to a particular style. A different intention would, therefore, result in a different style. "Aesthetic monism" argues that an author's intentions are irrelevant in determining the meaning of a work. It is more useful to discuss the intention of the work itself rather than the author."

Abstract
This paper explains that in order to break through the mind-body problematic cycle, we can adapt, with modern day revisions, David Hume's theory of Compatibilism. It shows how free will and determinism are interdependent and not at odds as previously believed. The concepts of consciousness, intentionality and mental causation are discussed in terms of Hume's theory.

From the Paper
"In discussing what makes a good theory relating the mind and body, it is clear that three things needed to be explained. (1) How consciousness occurs, (2) how intentionality occurs, and (3) how mental causation occurs. So far in the journey through theories, the most severe (in terms of consequences) is the Mind-Body Type Identity Theory, which states all mental properties are identical to brain properties. When I first deliberated over the Mind-Body Type Identity Theory and all that it entails and presupposes (such as the rejection of multiple realization) it challenges our "common sense" which tells us that there must be something different about mental and physical events. This idea is based on the fact that we make a distinction in our language between the two. We label certain snacks as "brain food" not "mind food" perhaps because food and the brain are both tangible physical entities. We don't ask people to "change their brain" when we present a contrary idea, instead we except people to "change their mind" assuming that we are able to control the nature of this non-physical representation, while preserving the integrity of the physical glob of neurons inside our skull. If we knew them to be the same thing, a priori or empirical, wouldn't we feel compelled to change the idioms and analogies and other forms of language we use to distinguish the two?"

Abstract
The following paper examines the way in which enterprise resource planning software solutions provide a common, consistent system to capture data organization-wide to integrate information across corporate functions and to provide tools for planning and monitoring the various functions and processes towards a common purpose. This paper discusses how the success of ERP Implementation relies not only on the realization of a plan but a process of organizational change. The writer examines how different implementation phases reflect an increasing level of complexity in terms of technical implementation, process changes and training.

From the Paper
"Enterprise software is an explosively-growing $23 billion a year sub-industry of software for companies looking to use technology to improve virtually every key corporate function manufacturing, finance, sales, marketing, human resources and supply-chain management. In 1990, the sector's total sales amounted to no more than $1 billion, but is predicted to have annual sales of $84 billion by 2002. The potential is seemingly unlimited because so many companies are convinced they must have this software in order to be competitive in the current and coming economy (Glover, 2000).Enterprise Resource Planning software solutions are software solutions that provide a common, consistent system to capture data organization-wide to integrate information across corporate functions and to provide tools for planning and monitoring the various functions and processes towards a common purpose."
