Abstract
The paper relates that Oscar Wilde wrote "Salome" after reading Flaubert's "Salammbo" and discusses how both authors desired to present their ideas in a manner that forced people to think about their own world and accept what had become of their existence in a realistic way. The paper explains that although these authors of the decadent period were often perceived to be deviants themselves, who did nothing but present deviant notions to the social order, these authors were making a statement about their lives and the changes in society that led them to their own place and time.

Abstract
In this paper, Tolstoy's Russian Symbolist argument of morality and declassification against Decadent Art has been analyzed in this study. The primary elements of morality in art define the justification for Tolstoy's argument against the "pleasure principle" and class stratification of Decadent Art in the 19th century. By providing details of other Symbolists that supported this trend toward art without class boundaries, the Symbolist dramatist Akim Volynsky also argued for the much wider ranging definiton of beauty for a new kind of art.

From the Paper
"H. W. Brands, author of nineteen books and The Reckless Decade: America in the 1890s, has created a work that's purpose is to lead the reader into the past so that he or she is capable of understanding the present ("H.W. Brands"). Brands discusses a period in the American landscape in which the economy, employment, and equality were becoming monumental concerns for the American people. His focus throughout the novel is on providing a journey through the American past that those in the United States can understand in order to better our world today. He further provides an account of events that changed the entire history of the United States and that aided our society in an evolution that was both destructive, and forward thinking all at once. By the 1890s Brands contends that the vast frontier of America had all but disappeared (Lamb 1)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the effects of the next thirty years with a view to globalization. Through an application of the concepts of globalization alongside transnationalism, effective tools or rather brushes are created through which to paint the picture of the next three decades in regard to the development of the world, as a result of the very real vision of globalization that is coming to fruition on a constant basis. The writer maintains that while the current global powers of today may be able to profit in the short-term through the use of outsourcing and other cost-exploitative measures, they will in the end be the exploited as they find themselves unable to perform their own tasks due to a reliance upon foreign skills. The writer concludes that within three decades, the process of globalization and transnationalism will have brought about increased equity in the world which will be of benefit to developing countries, and deleterious to those already atop the pyramid of global power.

A Decade Forthcoming
Two Decades on Fast Forward

Conclusion

From the Paper
"During this decade as the progress of globalization advances, the cost advantage of one country over another is fully taken advantage of, with the practice of outsourcing proliferating. At the current time outsourcing is used to save money in regards to simple operational activities such as customer service and order fulfillment, however over this decade will spread into higher-level applications, decreasing the availability of fairly paying jobs on the domestic market. This the time during which the early period of inexpensive outsourcing goods, such as IT services and process expertise, will be coming to an end, in regards to the cost aspect. Local economies over this decade will learn from the very transnational companies that sought to use them for their cheaper costs. The next decade will experience a balancing of the power in regards to cost advantage, bringing the line back around in its attempt at going full circle."

Abstract
This paper examines how Oscar Wilde's "Picture of Dorian Gray" and Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice" are literary works situated in the cultural phenomenon known as decadence. This cultural phenomenon began in the late nineteenth century and involved the production of a range of interrelated aesthetic, social and sexual personae. It looks at how the most prevalent of these in the work of Wilde and Mann are the beautiful boy, the dandy and the degenerate, because they represent the "Other". It also discusses how both novels also deal with the dichotomy of the Apollonian and Dionysian artistic impulses in literature, which serve to define the calm exterior/decaying interior that codifies decadence.

From the Paper
"Felski argues that Decadent literature offers "explicitly feminized male protagonists, who are identified with love of artifice, excess, and everything unnatural." This is certainly true in the case of Dorian Gray. She also mentions the "association of femininity with ornamentation and detail in Western culture." Both Dorian and Tadzio's clothing is described with much attention to the detail and adornments of the garments. Wilde's novel regards the protagonist's cultivation of sense experience, passion and sensation in the pursuit of beauty. Dorian studies exotic perfumes, collects musical instruments and precious stones, and once attended a masquerade ball wearing a costume covered with 560 pearls."

Abstract
This paper takes a look back at the turbulent decade of the 60s in America and explains how what Charles Dickens said in the opening paragraph of his famous novel, "A Tale of Two Cities" might well apply to the 1960s. The paper explains how the 1960s had elements that made it both the best of times and the worst of times and that this decade epitomized the worst and the best in America.

From the Paper
"For average Americans, it was the beginning of a decade that offered a strong economy; plenty of jobs; large families, unprecedented educational opportunities, liberal thinking, liberal political and social attitudes, and plenty of second chances. Before the end of the decade, use of the birth control pill would be widespread (likely helping to ushering the era of "free love" [there was no such thing as AIDS then] for which the 1960's is perhaps most fondly remembered). "No fault divorce" would facilitate the endings of many unhappy marriages, and much of the former social stigma of divorce, with so many now divorcing under the new rules, seemed to disappear that decade. It was as if, during the first years of the new decade, that the sky was the limit, if even that. For all of those reasons, the 1960's seemed then, at least early on, to truly be both "an epoch of belief" and "the best of times.""

Abstract
This paper discusses Thomas Wolfe's essay, "The Me Decade and the Third Great Awakening," which was first published in 1976. The paper shows how Wolfe was one of the few to discredit the so-called awakenings as nothing but destructive movements. The paper discussses the content of the essay and the main crux of Wolfe's arguments presented in the essay.

From the Paper
"In this conclusion, we may find a positive comment on the hippie generation and individualistic culture. The real concern of the author is not individualism per se but that this need to recognize "Me" may have gone too far. The desire to be somebody in itself cannot be considered dangerous but it results in serious isolation and unproductive activities some of which are actually anti-social, that is when this desire has gone too far and gives birth to serious of dangerous trends that simply erode the family and social values Americans had once been proud of."

"The issue of which decade should be considered the more influential creates a dilemma, for the 1980s are simply too recent to be judged properly, while the influence of the period from 1910 to 1920 is much more apparent and clearly reached far. The two decades are related primarily because the years between them constitute the lifespan of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union came into existence with the Russian Revolution in 1917 and ended with the breakup of the union in 1989. We know what effect the founding of the Soviet Union had on the next seventy years of history and on much of the world, while the consequences of the breakup are only beginning to be discerned and have only had a decade to make any difference at all. By any measure, socially, politically, economically, and artistically, the period from 1910 to 1920 was certainly more..."

Abstract
This paper will discuss "Big Mama's Funeral" by Garcia Marquez and seek to understand the concepts of "magical reality" that are brought up in the tale. Generally, the book explores the recurring themes of magical realism and this theme will be explored in the analysis. By seeing how characters reveal these tendencies, we can see how this book is filled with the decadence that captures the main theme of this writer's intent.
