Abstract
For years, chocolate has been looked down upon as unhealthy, deemed a candy, slapped with myths and fallacies and prohibited from small children. This paper attempts to prove otherwise by showing how chocolate has been shown to lift depression, help your heart and aid alertness among other benefits and if used properly, chocolate can be a delicacy and a medicine. It examines all aspects of chocolate possible from its production from the cocoa bean, to physiological effects on the brain and body to side effects such as obesity and dental problems.

From the Paper
"Cocoa takes it a step further though. Not only does it provide energy for our actions. It supplies chemicals for our personalities and moods. Modern psychology leads us to believe that every thought, every idea that pops into our head is simultaneously a biological reaction. This biological reaction takes the form of chemical processes within our brains. Our mind then interprets these chemical compounds as thoughts, ideas, smells, tastes, touch, etc. Our thoughts, or chemicals compounds within our brain can determine how we feel, our motivation, our goals, our entire lives hinge upon our thoughts, for what are we but what we do. And before we do anything, we must think it. We must have considered it at some point or been subconsciously predisposed to an action or idea."

Abstract
This thesis argues that Holocaust denial is simply the craving for another Holocaust. It is a craving that basically pursues its objective via different tactics. The author feels that by erasing memory and employing moral relativism, combined with the same anti-Semitic caricatures that led to the Holocaust, holocaust denial institutes a certain social and political mind-set which, in turn, can facilitate the possibility of yet another Holocaust. In order to understand what Holocaust denial is about, it is mandatory to understand what the Holocaust was and why it came about. This essay examines both the Holocaust and the phenomenon of subsequent efforts to deny its historical reality.

Abstract
Religion has been a driving force in the lives of human beings since time began. Modern moral decline signals the failing of modern religion to uphold a significant value system and outlet for man's craving for something to believe in. This paper details a new religion, "Spirituality for Souls and Communities in the New Age", that by incorporating traditional religious teachings and practices with spiritual and intellectual freedom would meet the needs of individuals in today's world.

Abstract
This paper explains that it is important to recognize how the more known and dangerous drugs influence neurochemistry. For example, heroin increases the release of dopamine by increasing the firing of dopamine neurons. The postsynaptic neuronal receptors are then inundated to levels far higher than normal; therefore, heroin usage is associated with the feelings of mood elevation and euphoria. The author points out that drug and alcohol metabolites, which are residual substances of drugs that remain during the drug and alcohol metabolism that takes place in the liver, are implicated in problems during withdrawal, remission, and craving. The paper recommends that treatment modalities should include pharmacotherapeutic as well as psychological and emotional support structures, including family involvement and 12-step programs such as AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous) and CA (Cocaine Anonymous).

From the Paper
"From the above therefore, a new motivational perspective of drug abuse emerges. It can be classified as two fold: extreme motivational strength and extreme motivational toxicity. Motivational strength is associated with the extent to which addiction can replace other basic motivations such as food, sex and the need to maintain a career. Motivational strength is also associated with to what lengths an addict will go to procure drugs. The psychosocial ramifications (as mentioned above) are a consequence of motivational strength. Motivational toxicity, on the other hand, can be defined by how it can be disruptive. Cocaine affects the user differently than heroin and methamphetamines. Typically, addiction can be towards anything. Most people are addicted to mild sedatives, cigarettes (though some aver that it is more addictive than cocaine), coffee, shopping, chocolate and gambling. Any of these addictions can be measured based on motivational strength and motivational toxicity."

Abstract
Benito Mussolini was the Fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 until 1943. He was very popular for most of the time he was in power, but by the time he was shot by Communists in 1945 he had become very unpopular and his death was welcomed. My goal in this paper is to take a look at his family, his education and how he became so power-hungry that he brought about his own ruin. I also will look at whether he had emotional illnesses and how they might have affected his thinking and craving for power.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the romantic comedy genre in the context of the movies, "Pretty Woman," "Runaway Bride", and "Notting Hill". The paper points out how the typical theme of romantic comedies has been updated, but still remains the same. In other words, the female characters in romantic comedy are still portrayed as independent women with a certain amount of power, yet still craving a relationship with a man who will be at their side when needed.

From the Paper
"Ever since the invention of the cinema, the art of filmmaking has evolved tremendously. In the early days the audience of these cinemas was hungry for any type of screening of films, merely waiting for something new and innovative coming their way. Thus, film makers though limited by their tools and technology tended to repeat or imitate stories in real life so that movies started to develop certain norms or conventions. A western movie thus would have the good guy and the bad guy always at odds; eerie music marked the tone in a horror movie; the loss of a girl was common in a romantic comedy. Filmmakers started to categorize movies into broad categories like thriller, romantic comedy and horror and subsequent sub-categories. Such categorization came to be known as "genre" which in French means "sort", "type" or "kind" ("Genre" 2004)."

Abstract
This paper looks briefly at the background of the Spanish painter Salvador Dali and the Australian painter Brett Whiteley, two extraordinary artists from the surrealist movement. It details their artistic influences, views on life and makes an attempt at finding method in their madness. It discusses how it was an 'insatiable craving for sex', money and fame that drove Dali to artistic genius, while for Whiteley, it was alcohol and narcotics. It compares and contrasts some of their famous works, their styles and their perceived meanings.

From the Paper
"Dali was a Spanish painter and writer who played a very significant part in the surrealist movement. From youth onwards, he was a very talented and recognized artist, with many of his works being displayed and published. He was an artist whose life was dominated largely by an 'insatiable craving for sex', money and fame. Dali was also fascinated with the aspect of death, combined with the popular beliefs of society. Much of his work was based on influences gained from other artists as well as both contemporary philosophy and science. His role models were Goya, El Greco, Durer, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Velaquez. In all, this represented the characteristically wide-ranging nature of Dali's way of thinking: the comic and the diabolic rub shoulders with serious classicism, with levity and gravity reflected to an equal degree. It was written that "Dali uses realistic items to reveal his dream-like ideas. His paintings are executed with infinite care and sometimes depict minute detail... The imaginary things depicted are presented in startling, distorted and fantastic ways, or else in natural, incredible combinations of parts of the human figure in tortured, writhing gestures." "

Abstract
This essay discusses the eating disorder orthorexia. The author defines orthorexia as the fixation on eating too healthy. The paper discusses what orthorexia is, its hidden causes, how it can be cured, statistics, and the dangers of the disorder.

From the paper:

"Orthorexia nervosa refers to the fixation on eating healthy food. It is referred to as correct appetite. Orthorexia is a long-term behavior pattern, not short term. Paying attention to food for a few weeks during dietary transition is not Orthorexia; constantly obsessing on food over the long run is. There are many reasons that eating disorders develop. Issues with control, a craving for perfection, and a vision of an unrealistic body image can be a few."

Abstract
The paper shows that for both Stephen Dedalus in James Joyce's novel "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and Andrea del Sarto in the poem of the same name by Robert Browning, art is a means of self-expression and achieved when the artist satisfies himself. It discusses how art comes from within and satisfies an inner craving - others may enjoy what is produced, but it is essential that the artist does. The paper shows that for both characters, their medium is how they relate to the world, how they understand the world, and how they shape the world, and all this constitutes a definition of art.

From the Paper
"For Andrea del Sarto as for Stephen Dedalus, many of the things of this world stand in the way of the artist, whether that be the need for money, frustration with religion, political realities, interpersonal relationships, or similar concerns. Both artists are also faced with the reality of learning to master their media. Even then, as with Andrea del Sarto, this may not be enough if that spark that sets the artist apart is not present or is not as effective as for some other artist. Art for both is also a rivalry with other artists, and that in itself is both a spur and in some ways a barrier preventing the complete freeing of the inner artist."

Abstract
The hero of the revenge tragedy is known for having certain characteristics. These include that the hero is compelled to act by certain forces, that the existing authorities are unwilling or incapable of satisfying the hero's craving for justice, that the hero has a detailed and devious plan they are determined to carry out and that there is a moment of declaration where the avenger tells the victim why they are going to be killed. "Hamlet" (William Shakespeare) and "The Libation Bearers" (Aeschylus) are two revenge tragedies, with the heroes of each Hamlet and Orestes. Since Hamlet and Orestes are both revenge heroes, it would be suggested that they are similar characters and they would each meet the criteria of the revenge hero. However, a close look at the two plays in this paper show that Hamlet and Orestes are very different characters. Orestes meets the fours criteria of the classic revenge hero, while Hamlet pushes all the boundaries of what would be expected and either only partially meets, or does not meet, the four criteria at all. To illustrate the differences, Hamlet and Orestes are compared, based on the four characteristics identified.

From the Paper
"The second characteristic of the classic revenge tragedy hero is that the existing authorities are unwilling or incapable of satisfying the hero's craving for justice. In both plays, the authorities are unwilling to right the situation, meaning that it is left to the hero to right it. Hamlet's and Orestes's circumstances are the same on this point. However, the two heroes differ in that Orestes has a craving to right the situation and Hamlet does not. The circumstances in both plays are very similar. In Hamlet, Claudius has killed the king and assumed the role of king. This puts Claudius in the role of power and since Claudius is at the highest level, the authorities cannot right the situation. This creates a need for someone to right the situation and Hamlet is assigned to this task. Seeking revenge is then a way to avenge Claudius's murder, as well as to restore harmony. In The Libation Bearers Orestes's mother Clytaemnestra has murdered her husband and Orestes's father, King Agamemnon. Clytaemnestra has obtained the highest seat of power, just as Claudius did. With Clytaemnestra at the highest level, the authorities cannot right the situation. The task of righting the situations falls to Orestes, with this necessary both to revenge his father's murder and to restore harmony."
