Abstract
The paper details how installing a new wireless processing system will result in savings for Club IT. The paper discusses the Net Profit Value (NPV) calculation, digital dashboards and rapid application development (RAD). The paper clearly shows that this new software will save Club IT money on staffing, will speed up business operations and increase the number of customers that can be attended to.

From the Paper
"Lisa and Ruben would make a very wise decision by installing new wireless processing system. The implementation of the order-taking system would increase their ROI and would decrease their materials used for ordering, such as printing paper. Easy accessibility to reservations and payments will increase the company's sales of tickets. By implementing the new software, Lisa and Ruben will save on average $20,000 per year solely on the wait time, and with the system's cost of $35,000 they will break even in less than two years. In addition to the money saving benefit on the wait time, with the new system the club will save money on staffing as well, because they will not need as many people to carry out the task as they did before. Overall operational cost will be reduced. With a gross estimate of the savings calculation, it is safe for Lisa and Ruben to continue with the system installation."

Abstract
By applying a framework of Tantric Buddhism, the film, "Fight Club," can be interpreted as a modern-day story of the path to spiritual enlightenment. This interpretation gives the film a deeper underlying meaning that builds on and complements the surface interpretation of social commentary on Western consumerist culture. This paper shows that, with a Tantric Buddhist interpretation, "Fight Club" can be understood as a somewhat realistic portrayal of how a person caught up in samsara via Western consumerist culture can have a spiritual awakening leading to enlightenment, instead of simply being seen as an outlandish piece of fiction.

From the Paper
"Tantric Buddhism differs from orthodox or Mahayana Buddhism by its assertion that "enlightenment could be attained by means of the things of this world itself [...] involvement in some of the most impure forms of samsara - meat eating, wine drinking, sex." 2 This is the key to an interpretation of the film within a religious framework, because the two protagonists - Tyler Durden and the unnamed narrator - engage in many activities that would be seen as "impure" by traditional Buddhist standards, yet the narrator achieves a sort of enlightenment from his mindless corporate job and consumerist tendencies when led to these activities by Tyler."

Abstract
This paper examines The movie "The Fight Club" in philosophical terms as well as comparing it to Buddhism and its contemporary, "The Matrix." It claims that this movie almost became a sort of cult and that the message portrayed enchanted the masses, especially men.

From the Paper
"Not only is the 1999 film Fight Club a story about a man trying to find meaning in his life but one that is becoming so widely known and celebrated (at least by men) that it can be twisted into the shape of a myth. Much the way that Ovid and Homer borrow from archetypes and earlier stories, Fight Club has roots in other contemporary movies, Buddhism and existential writings of Camus and Sartre, but uses those ideals in a new way while commenting on contemporary American society. With these sources, many of which are from decades and even centuries ago, Fight Club weaves their influences into a modern myth and remarkably, one that relates to the majority of Americans."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at each individual character and their backgrounds in "The Breakfast Club". It examines how they communicate with one another and then finally analyzes their progression from a non-functional group to a working team.

From the Paper
"Communication can be expressed in many forms between all sorts and types of people. "The Breakfast Club"(1985, Hughes) is a great movie that displays numberous types of communication between five high school students. All five students are in the library for Saturday detension, all for different reasons, and each student is very different from the next. The five pupils in the library are almost a representative from each clique in the high school. There was the brain Brian Johson, the criminal John Bender, the athlete Andrew Clark, the princess Clare, and the basket case Alicen, they all differ greatly from eachother which creates a unique atmosphere for communication between them. One can see the development of the communication through out the day, as it starts off with non-verbal communication then moves toward to interpersonal then intrapersonal communication and soon progresses into a functional group that understands and accepts one another."
