Abstract
In this paper, the theme of love relationships in A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare are analyzed. By understanding the often unpredictable nature of love that arises within these characters, the two main love relationships between Hermia and Lysander and that of Helena and Demetrius are analyzed, revealing their very similar changes of loyalty and devotion that occur throughout the play. The writer discusses that without a stable sense of love that is often provide through forced marriages and through fairy world intervention, the lovers eventually sort out their differences, but without a great deal of betrayal and desire driven factors that simply cannot be controlled.

Abstract
This paper discusses the relationship between King Lear and his daughters and how this relationship is turned around throughout the play giving each character a chance to play the child and the parent in the relationship.

From the Paper
"Through the first act of King Lear, we see a traditional father-daughter relationship, one where if the daughters do what the father says, or behave, they will then get a reward. But in act 2 of the play, this relationship seems to be turned around, making King Lear the child, and Goneril/Regan as the parental figures."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at how power relationships between men and women are as old as man and woman themselves. The paper discusses how throughout history the balance of power has sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically, shifted in favor of one gender or the other.

Outline:
Introduction
Men Still Rule the Roost
Women in Control
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Despite the struggles of generations of women, in America and many other parts of the world, according to feminists, women are still the oppressed gender. According to Arslanian-Engoren, there are still biases that marginalize women, and in fact, these biases are so significant, they negatively impact women's healthcare, resulting in healthcare disparities between men and women. Power and knowledge are not the same thing, however they are mutually dependent on one another. Therefore without knowledge, power cannot be initiated. Feminists theorize that it is man that holds the key to knowledge in society today; therefore, power naturally follows. Arslanian-Engoren notes that only by acquiring new scientific knowledge, in this case specifically concerning women's healthcare, and reframing the parameters of women's healthcare, can women strive to achieve a more egalitarian and equitable balance in the power relationship."

Abstract
The paper explains what is meant by the term "nonprofit organizations" and explains the objective in exercises of this nature. The paper highlights the fact that motivation is derived from the unique mission and values that each organization upholds in the delivery of its work. The paper stresses the importance of the relationship of the non profit organization with private and corporate donors, in order to market and build brand awareness and public profile. The paper also discusses the strategy of gaining control over the environment and building a working relationship between organizations, in addition to cementing a relationship between the private and nonprofit sector.

From the Paper
"While the nonprofit model may be the most grassroots and cooperative, nonprofit organizations are largely opting to build relationships with the private sector. The sector-wide conviction in competition undermines efforts to build coalitions between nonprofit organizations. This climate, drive by resource scarcity and profit-minded priorities, makes fostering nonprofit and nonprofit working relationships most difficult. In Metro-Toronto "the majority of organizations are anticipating a more competitive atmosphere in relation to garnering funds, now that the government has decreased its support" (Meinhard, p. 5.) Looking to market themselves to private and corporate donors, nonprofit organizations are embracing marketing to build brand awareness and public profile. It can be argued that current trends in management, job creation (funding for fundraisers), and resource availability facilitate a working relationship between the nonprofit sector and the private sector."

Abstract
This paper analyzes William Schutz's theory of of fundamental interpersonal relations orientation (FIRO). It describes how FIRO holds that interpersonal needs can be divided into the need for inclusion, control and affection. The paper specifically focuses on the way that the writer's experiences in the workplace can be related to Schutz's FIRO theory.

Perspective

From the Paper
"Firstly, one of the FIRO elements in my needs list is the need to exercise control. My need to exert and receive affection is subordinate to my need for inclusion. I therefore feel that each team member is responsible for his or her own contribution not only to the workload, but also to the team dynamic. I now see how this sort of thinking was dismissive of others' FIRO paradigms, and that I expected others to follow my way of thinking without letting them know what this kind of thinking was. Furthermore, I was not in a position to take leadership, as my team leader required me to function within a specific set of guidelines, which did not include leadership. All this changed when we were assessed in terms of our FIRO compatibility with each other and the various tasks we were expected to complete. It was decided to create one experimental group to determine the material difference that such a change would make. We wanted to determine whether it was worth our time and effort to make the elaborate changes needed to incorporate Schutz's theory at our workplace."

Abstract
The author's ability to craft a magical piece is demonstrated through out the book. The misleading representations of the narrator's gender reveal many important aspects of the relationship between Mrs. Bentley and Philip. One may interpret As For Me and My House as Philip being the 'house' of Mrs. Bentley. This fact is not necessarily a negative but shows how the perspective and control within the relationship dynamic.

Abstract
This research paper analyzes the effects of political opportunities and resources on environmental justice organization effectiveness. It emphasizes the role of networks as a resource with a direct influence on organizational effectiveness and also assesses the possible indirect effects of networks on organizational effectiveness through organizations' ability to acquire and mobilize resources. Furthermore, the paper synthesizes two predominant frameworks in the social movement literature-- political opportunity theory and resource mobilization theory -- by examining political resources as a contextual resource. The paper's analysis includes social network analysis, as well as statistical techniques such as factor analysis and regression. This paper includes a preamble, a survey, and an informed consent form.

From the Paper
"The more recent literature represents an important development in the understanding of social movements, as organizations' ability to influence policy and achieve other desirable objectives should be dependent on the presentation of issues, local and national political opportunities, and the degree to which they have sufficient resources and the ability to mobilize those resources. Likewise, organizations' connections to other organizations within and outside the social movement likely will influence their success. Notably, these factors (which originated in Tarrow's work) reflect what have become the dominant theoretical approaches in social movement scholarship: framing, political opportunity theory, and resource mobilization theory."

Abstract
The paper discusses how as the People's Republic of China hosts the Games of the 2008 Olympiad, considerable attention has been focused upon the issue of government control of the media - not only newspapers and conventional broadcast media, but also new Internet-based technologies - in China today. Building upon an earlier critical review of a scholarly article on this topic, this paper explores and problematizes some of the issues and approaches in this debate. The thesis is argued that while the scholarly analyses of contemporary Chinese media, and the efforts of the Chinese state and Communist Party to control it, are comprehensive and detailed, they lack an appreciation for the maturity of the Chinese media universe today. In this regard, the paper argues that while the exclusive China-focus of these studies is good, this methodology may be successfully complemented by a comparative methodology that assesses China media control in comparison and contrast to the mature media of Western societies. From this perspective, it is seen that the Chinese state has learned important lessons from the West with respect to the need for subtlety - particularly in exploiting complex state-corporate/public-private relationships - in effectively controlling the media and media content of 21st century China.

Abstract
This paper examines how gun control is one of today's more divisive political issues and how increasingly, the question of gun control has become politicized, with the far right asserting that Republicans are the party for gun rights and Democrats advocate gun control. The paper contends that gun control is a more complex issue than simply party loyalty and that people support or oppose gun control for a variety of different reasons. The paper endeavors to determine what leads people to favor gun control by investigating the relationships between: political party and one's position on gun control, educational level and one's position on gun control, gender and one's position on gun control, religious preference and one's position on gun control, military experience and one's position on gun control, and age and one's position on gun control.

From the Paper
"Gender was one area where stereotypes proved to be very reliable at predicting a person's attitude towards gun control. The hypothesis was that females would be much greater advocates of gun control than men, and the results reflected that they were. Males were more than three times as likely to believe it should be easier to acquire a gun than females were; 5.7% of males held that belief compared to 1.8% of women. Males were also more likely to be content with the current gun control policy, as almost half of all males, 49%, believed that the current policy should remain unchanged. In contrast, only 33% of females believed that the current policy should remain unchanged. 65.2% of females believed that there should be a stricter gun control policy, while 45.4% of males were in favor of a stricter gun control policy."
