Abstract
The paper relates that Oliver Goldsmith's play, "She Stoops to Conquer" was a directed by Max Stafford-Clark at the acclaimed National Theatre in Bath and on tour with the troupe. The paper examines how Stafford-Clark highlights the dysfunction of a "restoration" family, the Hardcastle's, while allowing the characters to be warm and witty. The paper shows how Stafford-Clark successfully leads the actors and the rest of the team to realize the artistic vision that Goldsmith intended with an integrated collaboration of design and acting. The paper asserts that Stafford-Clark has been one of the most important forces in British theatre in the last four decades and his contribution to "She Stoops to Conquer" is another example of this encouraging direction ("Professor").

Abstract
China has been governed twice by a foreign group. The first was that of the Mongols, in the thirteenth century. The second was that of the Manchus, in the seventeenth century. This paper explains the reasons why the Mongols were only able to govern for a relatively short period of time, during which they caused an incredible amount of discontent among the Chinese, and why the Manchus managed to be much more successful in controlling China until the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The paper examines events preceding the Mongol and Manchu conquests, as well as the ways by which the invaders were able to establish sovereignty. The important aspects of the Mongol and Manchu administrations are also examined, with an emphasis on the differences in those administrations, which provides reasons for Mongol failure and Manchu success. Finally, the demise of both dynasties is examined.
From the Paper
"The Mongols originated in the northern steppe, the land of which was not very accommodating for sedentary agriculture. Consequently, the Mongols were a nomadic people, specialists in animal husbandry and horse riding. From a very young age the males and females learned to ride on horseback and shoot arrows, creating a highly skilled fighting force. The Mongols organized themselves into tribes, which on occasion united under one khan. The Mongols considered their free lifestyle superior to that of the stationary farmers to the south. The Han Chinese in contrast relied on agriculture to fund the economy. The literati, a group made up of learned men who spent their days philosophizing and painting in the countryside, were revered. Due to an established examination system, the society was relatively mobile, allowing men from low ranking families to work as high government officials. The Chinese felt themselves above the barbarian nomads to the north. This great disparity between the two cultures is the greatest cause of the inability of the Mongols to control China effectively."

Abstract
The writer notes that even though the Roman armies conquered Greece eventually, it was Greek culture including philosophy, to sculpture and art, to education and literature that actually "conquered" Rome. This essay delineates some of the famous Roman poets, writers, orators who used the background of Greek culture to rise to eminence in the Roman Republic and eventually the Empire under Augustus.
From the Paper
"Roman armies may have conquered the various Greek city-states and brought them under their rule, centered in Rome, but the culture and traditions that helped Greece spawn Western Civilization took hold and produced Roman culture. "The Greek conquest of Rome took the form of sending Greek religion and comedy to the Roman plebs; Greek morals, philosophy, and art to the upper classes" (Durant 1944 95). Those who came to Rome fro Greece were called "Greeklings" by the Romans, and some of them actually were highly influential on young Romans by becoming their tutors. It is interesting to learn that the Romans, despite having their own gods ..."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the Aztec empire, further examining the ways in which the technological superiority of the Europeans, coupled with sheer good fortune on their behalf, helped them to conquer the Aztecs. First, the paper gives a description of the Aztec's capital city and its living conditions. Then, the author goes on to show the technological superiority of the Spanish, with an emphasis on their firearms, use of steel and of horses. The paper also highlights several incidents of good fortune which made the Spanish conquest less challenging. The paper concludes that the Europeans held important advantages over the Aztecs which resulted in them being able to conquer this part of the New World so effectively.
From the Paper
"It is hard to imagine a city of such grandeur being conquered at all, let alone in a matter of two years by a few hundred men. And yet somehow, Hernan Cortes and a small group of conquistadors were able to defeat the Aztecs and sack their city of Tenochtitlan by means of their advantage technologically and a few lucky breaks along the way. Due to their geographical location, and the trade, resources and interaction with other cultures it afforded them, the Spanish soldiers were equipped with steel, early firearms, and pack animals such as horses. These three items played a large role in the conquest of the Aztec empire."

Abstract
Before proceeding too far, it is worth asking why the European societies could never conquer the Asian societies that existed east of them - and why they could also never overcome the African and Islamic civilizations to the south. Briefly stated, it seems as though Africa had an enormous head start, civilizationally-speaking, and was the home of the first genuine Homo sapiens - modern man, in other words (Diamond 398). As for the Asian societies that refused to succumb to European encroachment, it appears as though they shared the same initial advantages as the Caucasians: a plentiful supply of easily-domesticated animals; the military potentialities these animals afforded; and the resistance to microbes - the Asian civilizations ostensibly were at no inherent disadvantage in any of these areas (Diamond 92).

Abstract
This essay describes the challenges faced by a writer when writing a piece of creative writing. The writer speaks from his personal experience of writing short manuscripts.
From the Paper
"It lies before you, silent in its emptiness and formidable in its vastness. Like a Colorado slope fresh with virgin snow, it stretches clean, white and untouched across the horizon, waiting for the mark of your pen or the stroke of your keyboard. It is the dreaded blank page, that endless expanse of white space that waits in the void for that first brilliant word.Conquering the blank page is the first challenge faced by a writer. Transferring that first word from pen to paper or from keyboard to screen can be a difficult process."
