Abstract
In Shakespeare's "Othello", deceit and jealousy combine to make one of the most disturbing tragedies of all time. This paper discusses how, at the helm of this disturbing voyage is the villainous Iago, driven by pure malice. In particular, the paper looks at how there is a great irony in this story, since Iago's plan to dismantle all virtue and trust amongst the targeted characters would never have been successful without his own wife Emilia's complete, unwavering trust and obedience.

From the Paper
"The first example of Emilia's unique and seemingly tolerant trust in her husband is shown early in the play. Upon arriving in Cyprus, Iago socially insults his wife in front of Cassio, Desdemona and others. Instead of immediately playing along, she falls silent, waiting for a cue from her husband. Her friend Desdemona notices this immediately: "Alas, she has no speech (II.1.118)." Emilia simply allows Desdemona to defend her, letting the game pass over her. This silence illustrates a great deal about the relationship between the couple. Even though Emilia eventually plays along with the game, "You shall not write my praise (II.1.132)," she clearly allows Iago to be in control of the situation. "

Abstract
The paper discusses how Reggio Emilia's approach to northern Italian pre-school education has been widely embraced by scholars abroad. The paper relates that the rights of the child are strongly promoted, the child of 0 to 6 years is shown equality with adults and criticism notes that the 'success' of the method is asserted by its practitioners. The paper considers that pPerhaps children do need teachers to guide, inspire, lead and sometimes direct.

From the Paper
"The Infant-Toddler centres and pre-schools established in Reggio Emilia, Italy, drew much interest for their view of the teacher as fellow learner. Parents are encouraged to join in school activities as possible towards a truly democratic and dynamic environment in which adults share understanding of graphic and artistic communication. The Reggio Emilia system has raised helpful questions as to how the child is regarded, the teacher's role and pedagogy before the age of 6. Reggio Emilia ideas are now fairly popular in North America where early childhood education has..."

Abstract
This paper examines how trust is developed or formed, what results when trust is not formed and finally, what results when trust is violated. The paper looks at two types of trust, known as calculus-based trust and identification-based trust. The paper reviews several studies and concludes that trust, although it is intangible, is crucially important in relationships with any depth and commitment.

Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper
"Some individuals trust very easily, and often far too easily which results in others taking advantage of their vulnerability while other individuals rarely trust others and only manage to extend trust after a firm foundation has been laid to base that trust upon. While violation of trust between casual relationships may not result in a complete breakdown of the relationship and it may be able to continue on some level the violation of trust between two individuals who are intimately close often results in a breakdown leaving a chasm far too wide to cross and at best takes much time, effort and willingness for trust to re-established and this may only result if the victim of the violation has the willingness to do so."

Abstract
This paper discusses the opposite ideas of trust and betrayal through two short stories, "Gregory" and "Just Lather, That's All" where the male protagonists battle a tough choice that in the end makes a large difference to their rivals. The author shows how trust and betrayal are closely knit through circumstantial pressures and personality flaws.

From the Paper
"Trust is a very delicately woven part of our lives, created in strange ways. Gregory, from the story of the same name, shared that "Those who eat from the same mess tins and drink from the same water canteens...remain good friends" (154). The circumstance of Gregory being a prisoner of war, allows the captor to connect in unexpected ways to his captive. The war background of both stories makes for stark realizations about the core of human traits and logic. The narrator, who was holding Gregory, could have let prejudice and the situation of war dictate the terms of their friendship. In time, the narrator manages to look past their captor-captive complex relationship and comes to realize "that they had the same headaches back home as we did" (155). The common threads of love and family dilemmas let the captors see that the only thing preventing their companionship was the circumstance of combat. An intricate relationship unfolded between the storyteller and prisoner, which appeared to need no real verification and no occasion arose for a test, until the conclusion. The finale reveals the fine line between trust and betrayal is thinner than expected.
"Evidence is not necessary to prove how much you are trusted. Unspoken faith in someone is just as powerful. Captain Torres in the story 'Just Lather, that's all' seems confident that the barber will not kill him, though they are enemies. In the final lines of the story, he says, "They told me that you'd kill me. I came to find out" (2). The captain was so sure that his own power would protect him that he could afford to trust pretty much anyone, even putting himself - quite literally - in the hands of an adversary. He put his full faith in power. The expression you must love yourself before you can love others applies greatly to trust. If you do not trust your own judgment, how can you trust those of another? Captain Torres exemplifies this idea by his actions. In the end, both hero and contender of "Just Lather, that's all' seem to come to the conclusion (in Torres' words) "But killing isn't easy. You can take my word for it" (2)."

Abstract
This paper discusses John Locke's concept of government as a trust for the benefit of the members of society, based on the theoretical position which he expounded in the "Second Treatise on Government," particularly in Chapters 9, 10, and 11, in which he reasoned that individuals form societies by giving up their liberty. The paper explains that as they never had power of life and death over one another, they cannot give society more power than they had, so that the government must operate for the benefit of the people, and cannot act in an arbitrary manner without breaching the consent by which it is formed. The paper explains that the power to make laws is invested in the legislative of the government, that term used by Locke as a noun, and the legislative exists to protect property.

From the Paper
"A trust is a legal arrangement under which one person (or entity), a trustee, exercises power over property for the benefit of someone else, the beneficiary. This power must be exercised for the benefit of the beneficiary in keeping with the concept of fiduciary duty (Black, 1680). John Locke envisioned government as a trustee for the benefit of society. As he explains in the Second Treatise on Government, beginning in chapter 9, entitled "Of the Ends of Political Society and Government," the individual gives up the rights he has in the state of nature in order to enjoy the security of a governed society. In the state of nature, "he be...""

Abstract
This is a series of three short papers, the first two of which are both on the same subject matter, "trust in personal and professional relationships." These two essays use two different rhetorical models for discussing the same subject. The third essay is a process analysis of the writing styles and following the instructions given in order to write the first two essays.

From the Paper
"Can I trust you to take care of that order by tomorrow morning?" the boss asks the new night shift worker. "Sure thing!" Bobby says. As Mr. Smith and his beautiful secretary are preparing to go out of town on a business trip, Mrs. Smith asks, "Can I trust you?" Although the words are the same in both situations, the implications are vastly different. There are several classifications of trust that have major impacts on our lives, but most fall into one of three categories: professional, personal or relationship-based and financial, and within each of these categories the emotional implications of maintaining or losing trust vary widely."

Abstract
Is the current body of U.S. anti-trust law good public policy? This paper describes the roots and the current status of antitrust legislation in the U.S. with special mentioning of the Puerto Rican situation. It also covers the economic reasoning of antitrust in the light of per se unfair practices and business justification. Then, it moves on to give an overview of international antitrust regimes, namely EU, Germany, China and Brazil. It then discusses the call for loosening the law to create national champions that can compete on an international level.

From the Paper
"In a concentrated market, with only a few firms, the danger is that they may find it easier to lessen competition by colluding. For example, they may agree on the prices they will charge consumers. The collusion could be in (i) an explicit agreement, or in a more subtle form known as (ii) tacit coordination or coordinated interaction . Accordingly, some cases are easier than others. The courts decided many years ago that certain practices, such as price fixing, are so inherently harmful to consumers that a detailed examination is not necessary to determine whether they are reasonable. The law presumes that they are violations - so-called per se violations - and condemns them almost automatically. Other practices demand closer scrutiny based on principles that the courts and antitrust agencies have developed. These cases are examined under a "rule of reason" analysis."

Abstract
This paper discusses the argument of Francis Fukuyama in his book 'Trust', in which he addresses many of the flaws he finds in the modern capitalist democracy and considers the need for a more ethical regime to determine behavior in both the political and economic realms. This is a very cogent analysis for a time beset by political scandals and ethical failures in business such as the Enron collapse or even the current concern about excessive profits on the part of oil companies.

From the Paper
"Francis Fukuyama has written a number of books on economic and political issues. In his book Trust, Fukuyama addresses many of the flaws he finds in the modern capitalist democracy and considers the need for a more ethical regime to determine behavior in both the political and economic realms. This is a very cogent analysis for a time beset by political scandals and ethical failures in business, such as the Enron collapse or even the current concern about excessive profits on the part of oil companies. The subtitle of the book is "The Social Virtues and the Creation of Prosperity," relating economic prosperity with social virtues and ethical behavior. He uses the word "trust" in its broadest sense as what people want in society, meaning they want to be able to trust their institutions, their leaders, and the businesses with which they deal. "

Abstract
This paper examines the infant-toddler centers and preschools established in Reggio Emilia, Italy, which have drawn much interest for their view of the teacher as fellow learner. In the Reggio Emilia system, parents are also encouraged to join in school activities in a democratic and dynamic environment. The paper points out that this system has raised helpful questions as to how the child is regarded, the teacher's role and pedagogy before the age of 6. The paper also points out that Reggio Emilia ideas are now fairly popular in North America, where early childhood education has been a major concern due to the postmodern condition of altered family life, daycare as a mass need, and the failing American educational system. Since the 1980s, varying investment in facilities for early childhood education has helped a flowering of scholarship and some experimentation. The paper concludes that the generation of Reggio Emilia's remarkable early childhood education system occurred under conditions that North American educators might see as ideal for promoting a strong community with supportive and participating parents who value education.

From the Paper
"A paper by John Nimmo supplies an Australian reflection on the Reggio Emilia model. (1998) All its points considered, Reggio Emilia education may be most useful in its questions asked of teachers which Nimmo commends in terms of why teachers should ask themselves how they view the child, expectations of children and beliefs about child development. (1998:295-296) Teachers, parents and others engaged with children should ponder where a child's identity originates and the child's goals, needs and wishes, as may differ from those of the adult or be shaped by parent's ideas; there may be hope for a new generation or beliefs to do with better child preparation. (Nimmo:1998:296) In other words, Reggio Emilia education's contribution may lie in its fundamental questions to do with the child in relationship to adults. Other questions involve what a surrounding society is like now and as a product of a public past. (Nimmo:1998:297-298) One finds obvious new questions, too, on whether children are the same as they once were, or really develop as any theories now in use say that they do. One is put in a postmodern void of uncertainty, non-knowledge and relativism. It seems important to examine what one admires in Reggio Emilia practices and models and ask when one first experienced or saw them, in the course of one's own education."

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of the character Emilia in the play 'Othello' by William Shakespeare. According to this paper, Emilia is more than just a character in this play. She functions as an example of the standing and role of women during that particular period of time.

From the Paper
"What type of character does Emilia play in 'Othello'? Does she play a significant role? Why? What is her purpose in the play? These are questions that must be considered in looking at the different characters in 'Othello'. Emilia is Iago's wife and the maid to Desdemona. Emilia is a faithful wife until the very end of the play where she takes a stand against Iago. Emilia is a symbol of the state of women during this time period. It is important to study the role that Emilia played in Othello because she has a significant and dramatic purpose."
