Abstract
"The bravest of individuals is the one who obeys his or her conscience", says J.F. Clarke. This paper proves the validity and accuracy of this statement with respect to two important fictional works, namely "Beowulf", by an anonymous author, and William Golding?s "Lord of the Flies". The paper shows that conscience is the only beacon of hope for man when surrounded by evil forces.

From the Paper
"Though Grendel and his mother are strong opponents, Beowulf manages to overpower them with his strong faith in the strength of the good against the evil. Near the end, Beowulf is again pitted against a massive evil force in the form of a Dragon. Beowulf manages to overcome him but loses his own life in the process. Beowulf lives his life following his conscience and the golden principle that he firmly believed in:
It is always better/to avenge dear ones than to indulge in/mourning./For every one of us, living in this world/means waiting for our end. Let whoever can/win glory before death. When a warrior is gone,/that will be his best and only bulwark. (II. 1384-89)"

Abstract
Tomson Highway's play The Rez Sisters may be said to effectively "catching the conscience" of the nation of Canada, in its innovative use of the play medium. This is an outstanding example of play as performance, rather than literature. Highway draws on Native oral culture to present a play that draws the viewer into the world of the reserve, and in so doing, surely catches the conscience for many.

Option 1: "Catching the conscience" of the nation of Canada in Tomson Highway's The Rez Sisters Tomson Highway's play The Rez Sisters may be said to effectively "catching the conscience" of the nation of Canada, in its innovative use of the play medium. This is an outstanding example of play as performance, rather than literature. Highway draws on native oral culture to present a play that draws the viewer into the world of the reserve, and in so doing, surely catches the conscience of many.

Abstract
The paper looks at how Krugman in his book, "Conscience of Liberal," discusses the causes of America's growing income disparity and reaches the conclusion that the Democratic Party lowers income inequality and the Republican Party increases it. The paper considers Krugman's strength as a writer as well as the limitations of this work. The paper concludes that Krugman's work provides a fairly strong understanding of not only the policies of the current administration but their historical antecedents as well.

From the Paper
"In the book's opening, Krugman outlines clearly the values that underlie the arguments he later constructs. He draws on the years of his youth, a time of low income disparity, as his ideal age. With income disparity low and unions strong, the middle class of the US rose to prominence during this era, which Krugman views as something of a golden age. His view of the years subsequent, in particular the past three decades, is less charitable, citing the alarming growth in income disparity as evidence. He examines the entire 20th century, and concludes that unlike the mid-20th century, recent decades have taken on a look and feel more like the early part of the century, representing a new gilded age.
"From this basic point of view, Krugman then expands on the political changes that have occurred. Krugman appears to abandon his economic training somewhat here, and takes more of an approach that shifts in income disparity among Americans have tended to be more policy-driven than market driven. This rationale is reasonable, given that domestic economic policy, or lack thereof, does to a large extent determine the amount of control over the economy that government can have."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the development of a well-informed and sensitive conscience is critical to living a Christian life. The writer maintains that the Catholic Church gives direction, but the decisions lie with the individual.

From the Paper
"Catholics use the age of seven as a general beginning to the age of reason. Before this point children know the difference between right and wrong as a catalog of items that their parents have taught them. Afterwards however it is assumed that a child can look at a situation, draw on prior experience and make some decision concerning the right or wrong action to take. The conscience of the child has taken form and from that time on the person's actions are judged according ..."

Abstract
This paper examines what prevents or allows one from following his or her conscience. The author uses evidence from two articles, "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell and "Judge Waring" by Septima Clark.

Abstract
This paper analyzes Eminem and Dr. Dre's "Guilty Conscience." It shows that rap music has many common elements with poetry to the extent that it ought to be considered and analyzed as poetry. The paper dissects the song, looking closely at its language, style and themes. The writer believes that rap music has a strong poetic message which should not be ignored or stereotyped.

From the Paper
"My choice of poem to analyze may surprise you as a bit unconventional. I will analyze the hip-hop music star Eminem's song Guilty Conscience. I was initially going to choose Milton's Sonnet VII, a poem that is more than 350 years old, contains some of the classic themes of poetry, and is written by one of the most renowned poets ever. With Guilty Conscience, my approach will be almost the equal and exact opposite. The "poem" is a mere one-year in age, it contains some themes that do not yet seem to have been really discussed in the English literature academic community, and is written by someone whom most adults know at best as a controversial entertainer. Nonetheless, it is my opinion, which I hope to henceforth argue, that hip-hop music (also known as rap music) is another form of poetry and therefore is as valid a candidate for analysis as other poems."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses whether director Elia Kazan was correct to inform on his former colleagues in the Communist Party when he testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).

From the Paper
"Among the substantial number of Hollywood and entertainment industry individuals called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Elia Kazan stands out as one of the small number of those to name names and to identify colleagues peers and friends with whom he had been associated in the Communist Party and other leftist groups. According to Mark Steyn Kazan was pilloried by many particularly those who were ultimately blacklisted and prevented from continuing to work in the film ..."

From the Paper
T"his research examines the issue of individual conscience versus corporate authority as articulated in Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound and Sophocles's Antigone. The plan of the research will be to set forth the pattern of ideas in each work that appear relevant to the conflict between conscience and authority and then to discuss the means by which the plays achieve sentient and intellectual impact on account of their theme.
Prometheus Bound, as the title implies, portrays the god Prometheus's punishment by Zeus for stealing from the gods the "treasure" of "all-fashioning fire" and giving it to mankind. Personified characters Strength and Violence, with the help of the fire god Hephaestus, shackle Prometheus, to a rock on an ocean shore. Prometheus stays in place for the entire action of the play, and is visited in turn by a chorus, comprising daughters.."

Abstract
The final portion of the novel "Jane Eyre" presents the protagonist with a number of choices where she is forced to weigh matters of conscience versus her passions. This paper considers the last few chapters and discusses whether conscience or passion wins. It also analyzes how her fight between conscience and passion contributes to the novel as a whole.

From the Paper
"Feeling her perception of Rochester's voice to have had some mystical provenance, Jane immediately returns to Thornfield, discovering only a burnt-out ruin where the beautiful manor once stood. Once she finds Rochester-who was injured in the fire which killed Bertha and now lives in a smaller house in the woods-he confirms the supernatural nature of what she heard just before rejecting St. James' proposal. Rochester proposes marriage to her, and she accepts. Now that Bertha is gone, there is no impediment to Jane's and Rochester's marriage. They are married in a quiet ceremony and live as equals. As was her decision to share her inheritance with her cousins, this decision is one where her passion and her conscience coincide."
