Abstract
This paper explains that Aristotle describes happiness not in hedonistic terms but as an activity of the soul in accordance to virtue thus a person can only obtain Aristotle's happiness by living up to their highest potential virtue. The author stresses that neither pleasure nor honor can bring about true happiness. The paper relates that Aristotle uses the "doctrine of the mean" to describe the vice/virtue relationship between activities: If a person possesses a quality, learned or innate, it is possible to take a larger, smaller or equal amount of that activity relative to one's own needs.
From the Paper
"In the "Christmas Carol", Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly banker who does not become happy until he is visited by ghosts. He learns to value humanity and it is implied that he is freer with how he spends his money. He no longer hoards it in his house but donates it to his neighbors. Happiness can be seen as, "an activity of soul in accordance with virtue, or if there are more kinds of virtue than one, in accordance with the best and most perfect kind. There is a further qualification: in a complete lifetime. One swallow does not make a summer; neither does one day. Similarly neither can one day, or a brief space of time, make a blessed man happy..." Thus, happiness is not only living up to ones potential, but also living up to one's supreme potential, what they are best at. "

Abstract
This paper reports that a preliminary assessment of the impact of economic globalization and the proliferation of the free market economy indicates that constitutions of nations are directly or indirectly influenced by globalization. Whereas the earlier model of convergence was transcendence of the principles of constitutionalism and human rights, the author uses the model of neo-convergence as as a corollary to the economic globalization as the hypothesis for the proposed dissertation. The paper indicates that a qualitative methodology will be used and describes the plan of study.

From the Paper
"Convergence in the constitutions of the past phase is most glaring in the post-colonial nations. The organization of states in Europe, the nations liberated from the colonial and despotic regimes, could be identified as having homogenized fundamental principles in developing their Constitutions. The principles of constitutionalism and its perceived universal character were the driving force for unification strategies in the early phase of convergence. Rule of law, separation of powers, limited government, entrenched rights and independence of judiciary were the major features that sought replication."

Abstract
The paper attempts to show how religion in the novel "Mansfield Park" is the dominant theme. The paper illustrates how religion offers a perspective on the nature of the characters and the way in which they interact with the rest of the actors on the narrative scene. The paper also shows how religion points out several aspects of the traditional belief in the religiousness of the time while it also addresses indirectly the issue of slavery as a corollary of religion and morals. Finally, the paper demonstrates how we see the power of religion as being an equal replacement to the power of social demands.
From the Paper
"English literature is considered to be one of the most interesting and artistically rewarding experiences for any literature fan. It shares the views of an environment which is complex in its social and cultural elements. At the same time it points out the perspectives of writers who have been deeply influenced by the period of their existence in a more profound manner as the rest of literature writers. In this sense, Jane Austen is viewed as one of the most complex literature writers, for her dedication to her work as well as for the way in which she managed to convey the message across to her readers. Some of the most important novels of her literary creation include "Pride and Prejudice", "Emma", as well as "Sense and Sensibility" which have all represented important sources for inspiration for later authors of the 19th and 20th century."

Abstract
With increased globalization of the Indian economy, Reserve Bank of India's task of sterilization of inflows has become tough. There are costs attached to the sterilization operations. This paper analyzes the performance of this activity of the RBI and the benefits and costs of these operations. It tries to evaluate whether these operations are able to achieve the goal of keeping the inflation rate under check. It further discusses the justification for continuing these operations by the RBI and finally puts forth a case for establishing a Market Stabilization Fund in India. The paper foresees the future challenges that are likely to be faced by the RBI in view of the increasing inflow of foreign currency. As a corollary it also discusses the need to maintain large Forex reserve and the need to utilize a part of the reserve for investment in domestic sectors like infrastructure, health and education.

From the Paper
"To overcome the great difficulties faced by the RBI to curb inflation due to excessive monetization, RBI, in 1997 reduced this mode of deficit financing to a considerable extent and resorted to Market Stabilization Scheme under which the GOI and RBI signed a MoU detailing the modalities of the MSS. This scheme came into effect from April 2004. Under the MoU the GOI would issue Treasury Bills and/or dated securities under the MSS in addition to normal borrowing requirements, for absorbing liquidity from the system. These securities will be issued by way of auctions to be conducted by RBI. These securities will be eligible for SLR and LAF operations also. Another very important feature of the scheme is that the payment for interest and discount will not be made from the MSS Account. "

Abstract
The paper discusses notions of equality as they relate to aboriginal peoples in Canada. The paper examines a dominating group favored in distributive notions of equality and takes the approach of a corollary view, in the exploration of the disadvantaged Aboriginal population of Canada. The paper notes that "equality" itself has a complex range of meanings. The paper divides this discussion into two parts, dealing with values and potential equality in that realm, and further discussing asset equality, factoring in both goods and services. The paper deals initially with a values-based discussion and follows with an examination of asset equality.
From the Paper
"Another acutely relevant area for aboriginals is equality within the realm of justice. In his theory of justice, Rawls discusses intrinsic worth: the denial that the loss of freedom for some can be made right by invoking the justification of a greater good. The Innu tradition of leaving the elderly behind with weapons to fend for themselves (when no longer able to maintain the pace of the family's hunting expeditions) would seem to be in direct contrast to that which Rawls considers intrinsic. In terms of Rawls' principles of justice, this would hardly be "to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged."

Abstract
This paper explains that the most expressive period in the history of the English theatre was the period of Queen Elizabeth I, the second half of the 16th century in which William Shakespeare was the most significant dramatist of the period. The author points out that Philip Henslowe, a well-known theater manager of the time, left a diary, which recorded the organization of theater companies, the props, the plays, the dramatists, and even the building of the theater itself. The paper relates that, in the Jacobean theater, which is considered to be a continuation of the Elizabethan period, the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries were written more to cater to the tastes of the affluent society; the closest modern corollary to these plays is popular cinema, with its films of adventure, violence, horror, or sentimental romance.
From the Paper
"Thus by the period that Shakespeare was writing his plays, there were more playhouses in London than in any other European city. The plays were enacted in the courtyard of inns, or sometimes in the houses of noblemen, before this period. But a noble had to be watchful as to which play should be permitted to perform in his house. Anything that was contentious or political was prone to get him in problem with the crown. Not much is known about the Elizabethan indoor theatres as they were smaller in size and were roofed. Companies did their shows in winter when it was too cold to be outside, signifying that the performance was almost certainly alike. Actors had attained an adequate level of monetary and social strength, by the time of Shakespeare."

Abstract
Other than the staples thesis, the National Policy has probably engendered more debate among economic historians than any other issue in Canadian economic history. Though many credible positions can be taken on the issue, this paper will argue that the National Policy did induce settlement in the Prairies after 1896, but it likely did more harm than good into the longer term. While it is undeniable that it had some corollary if not positive impact, for the most part the National Policy was wasteful and unnecessary. It was a misdiagnosed prescription of the wrong medication at the wrong time.

Abstract
Examines the book by Garry Wills in which he gathers detailed information regarding the life of the former president from his boyhood days to the way he is still perceived today. It explains that Wills presents three major theses. First, Wills argues that Reagan manufactured myths about himself. Corollary to this, Wills believes that the former president also created his own "Disneyland" vision through which he viewed the real America. Finally, Wills tries to explain the sometimes baffling popularity of the former president in terms of his power to convince Americans to believe in his own created myths.
From the Paper
"Reagan, contends Wills, starts by creating a mythic childhood, "one of those rare Huck Finn-Tom Sawyer idylls." Most likely, the former president spun this myth to present himself as an all-American boy, someone the country could relate to and would like to see in charge. In reality, Wills shows that Reagan had a difficult childhood. His father was a well-known confidence man from Mississippi. As a result of his father's drinking problem, Reagan often had to live from suitcases and never stayed in one place long enough to plant roots."

Abstract
This paper examines the current situation with Venezuela, the oil reserves being offered to the US by Chavez, the past history of US involvement in Venezuela and military intervention to preserve petroleum interests. This paper also looks at Roosevelt's Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine as an example of controlling US interests in Latin America.
From the Paper
"The week before hurricane Katrina hit the US coast, when gas prices were already high and showing no signs of coming back down, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez offered to sell "gasoline and heating fuel" to the US poor for a reduced price ("Chavez offers cheap gas to poor in U.S."). According to the federal government, the US imports 1,292,000 barrels of oil from Venezuela per day, more than twice as much as from Iraq, and only less than Canada, Mexico and Saudi Arabia ("Crude Oil and Total Petroleum Imports Top 15 Countries"). The relationship between the US and Venezuela has been reported as tense recently, with rumors of US warships heading their direction for a NATO-led attack, and religious-right Pat Robertson demanding the assassination of Chavez ("Chavez: U.S., NATO planning an attack").
