Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the two plays 'The Revenger's Tragedy' by Cyril Tourneur and the 'Women Beware Women' by Thomas Middleton represent a social commentary on wealth and power in the Middle Ages. The writer maintains that although these plays were written within the Elizabethan Era, the continuity of greed and disloyalty is a part of the behaviors of medieval aristocracy, which was mostly pervasive within England in the early 17th century.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the corruption of wealth and power in the early 17th century as is seen within the Elizabethan plays, "The Revenger's Tragedy" by Cyril Tourneur and "Women Beware Women" by Thomas Middleton. It discusses the central elements of the plays and shows how they define medieval elite society through an Elizabethan dramatic point of view.

From the Paper
"In conclusion, the two plays The Revenger's Tragedy by Cyril Tourneur and the Women Beware Women by Thomas Middleton represent a social commentary on wealth and power in the Middle Ages. Although these plays were written within the Elizabethan Era, the continuity of greed and disloyalty is a part of the behaviors of medieval aristocracy, which was mostly pervasive within England in the early 17th century. By examining the various characters in these two plays, the desire for wealth and power is the central social theme about medieval upper class culture that is brought forth by Tourneur and Middleton."

Abstract
This paper provides a broad definition of power and discusses several ways in which it is used in the healthcare industry. The writer explains that since healthcare professionals significantly influence the lives of patients, subordinates and colleagues, many of whom are in a vulnerable situation, corruption and abuse of power can result. The writer identifies seven different sources of power, giving examples, and discusses how each lends itself to abuse. The paper concludes that it is important for healthcare professionals to realize the extent of their power and exercise it in a proper way.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Power is a term that is elusively defined by human beings. It could range from having the authority or the capacity to exercise control to the ability to perform a task effectively. In the middle ages, the abuse of use of power was more apparent in its implementation than it is today. Aristocratic rulers often fed on peasants' hard labor when exercising power. Nowadays, it's more subtle and very intrinsic. It happens every minute but is less apparent. Most industries abuse the exercise of power in ways that range from nepotism to customer care relations. The major sources of power arise in different circumstances and could be legitimate, expert, information related or coerced."

Abstract
This paper argues against the general historic consensus that Franklin D. Roosevelt was an advocate for the American people and that his New Deal organizations had the charitable agenda to redistribute wealth and power in the U.S. The paper shows that those historians who believe this idea fail to recognize the social and economic realities of the 1930s. During this decade the majority of the American people were starved, poor and unemployed. The author of the paper argues that Franklin D. Roosevelt's seemingly liberal reforms imposed by the New Deal did not effectively draw upon the wealthy to provide assistance to the needy, but were proposed in a manner that helped FDR maintain his position as president. As chief executive, Roosevelt enacted measures to preserve capitalism in order to increase government power.

From the Paper
"Roosevelt was a shrewd politician who used empty promises to appeal to the average citizen and gain initial public support for his presidency during the depression. Thus, people were easily misled to believe that Roosevelt's actions as president equally benefited labor and industry. During the early 1930's millions had lost their jobs and "men, women, and children were perishing because of plain lack of food and undernourishment." This caused Americans to lose faith in the capitalistic system and turn towards the government for help. Entering office in 1932, Roosevelt was expected to solve the "serious [economic] problems" in America, which had caused men to lose their "sense of security for the present and future necessary to the peace and contentment of the individual and his family.""

From the Paper
"When people get together to complain about the governments, the maladies they bring up take predictable forms. Taxes are too high. The government is too bureaucratic. And as George Orwell so powerfully showed us in Animal Farm power corrupts. The idea that government officials are corrupt is particularly troubling a democracy when the government is nothing more nor less than we ourselves, which is why there is something of a cottage industry in exposing government corruption. Such exposes have long been one of the main courses of American journalism, but book-length discussions of corruption also abound.

These books have a number of different purposes, although nearly all of them seek to make people angry about a wrong that the writer perceives. Some writers are openly partisan ..."

Abstract
This paper reviews Phillips's book, "Wealth and Democracy: A Political History of the American Rich," discussing the theme of the book and how it reflects Phillips' political philosophy. The paper explains that the book is about the wealthy in America and how they increase and maintain their wealth and power, often through corrupt and unethical means. The paper concludes with a discussion of what insights the author of this paper has gained from reading Phillips' book.

From the Paper
"Kevin Phillips is a well-known, controversial yet respected writer and political analyst, who writes about the political and social world of contemporary America with a sense of literary style and an "at the bottom of it" substance. His most recent book, American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush, would seem to give the literary and politically uninitiated all the information needed in terms of where Phillips stands politically his social and political/philosophical frame of reference. It would be safe to say his investigative, hard-hitting book on George W. Bush's White House would probably not get him an invitation to a Rush Limbaugh insider cocktail party, and yet, Phillips has worked as a Republican strategist, and he was a top political advisor to Richard Nixon during the presidential race in 1968."

Abstract
This paper explains that even taking an exegetical approach that considers the Hebrew prophets outside of biographical and historical information, it is clear that they had certain standards of justice and righteousness, which targeted an oppressive social hierarchy, particularly those in power in Israel. The books of the prophets Isaiah, Micah, and Zephaniah, the author points out, denounce this leadership as being materialistic and promote the idea that righteousness and just action are prerequisites to material wealth. The paper illustrates these conclusions by using the biblical verses themselves thus relying only secondarily on historical and biographical information.

From the Paper
"Note in the above passage that the prophet provides an alternative to materialistic corruption. This provides a clue to what Isaiah considered to be the positive characteristics of justice and righteousness and stands in direct contrast to the negative denunciations that comprise much of the book. Victor H. Matthews offers a list of considerations for which Isaiah deems Israel and Judah to be ruined in chapter five: "These injustices include depriving the poor of their lands by creating huge estates (5:8), drunkenness and self-indulgent living (5:11-12), public deception by the leaders (5:18-21) and bribery (5:23).""

Abstract
This paper summarizes George Eliot's work "Silas Marner" explaining that one of its most prominent themes is that wealth corrupts. The paper discusses the characters in the story and shows how Eliot uses their circumstances to convey the message that society has a twisted definition of success and that the elite classes tend to lack a real moral conscience.

From the Paper
"Silas is depicted as a quiet, ordinary man with a "loving nature" (pg. 61). The similarities between Silas and the characters of Dolly Winthrop and Mr. Macey, are emphasized through the advice and companionship they extend to Silas and Eppie, and to any member of the community which might be in need. Thus Silas' reward for his gentle thoughtfulness is to be surrounded by others of the same exemplary character. At the same time, Godfrey Cass is surrounded by those who are as unscrupulous and emotionally devoid as he is, meaning both characters are essentially getting what they deserve."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while Mexico City in 1908 may have been a great place to have fun, it was not a country in which a business consultant would recommend investments. The author points out that Porfirio Diaz, who had been in power since 1876, brought wealth to the elite in Mexico through foreign concessions in mining, railroads, and other sectors of the economy. However, that wealth did not trickle down to the middle and lower classes. The paper relates that a political system under a repressive dictator in any country is nearly always corrupt, and Mexico during the early 20th century was no exception.

From the Paper
"Meantime, what a business consultant would see, in terms of the social and popular climate in Mexico City, was quite different. As for the general social climate, which of course has an effect on business, the Mexican people were deeply steeped in the Spanish-inspired bullfighting rituals. Mexicans were also in love with the American game of baseball, horseracing was a growing attraction, and boxing exhibitions were becoming popular too was a horse of a different color. Roller skating was popular (on wooden rollers). So many people were roller skating that in 1907, the police put a stop to roller skating on sidewalks."

Abstract
Argentina was once a wealthy country with a burgeoning middle class, yet much of this was due to Peronism, which was the form of nationalist populism in the 1940s and 1950s and capitalized on the postwar exploits enticing the population to accept political corruption in exchange for sharing in the country's wealth (Frasca 2002, 26). This trend changed when Menem took power in 1989, which engineered privatization and destroyed barriers to trade. This freed finances to flow in and out of Argentina, an act he believed would guarantee the peso would hold its value (Frasca 2002, 26). The actual result was the wiping out of corruption, but increased inflation and created a citizenry left with nothing creating calamity and chaos.
