Abstract
This paper analyzes and discusses C.S. Lewis's "The Screwtape Letters"by emphasizing his vision of the world of the demonic, enumerating the strategies employed by the demons in misdirecting the patient. The paper further examines how Lewis presented the demons in this Christian novel as humorous yet thought provoking. According to the paper, the demons exist to entrap humans by entering their minds and planting thoughts which the individual believes are his own.

From the Paper
" C S Lewis's "The Screwtape Letters" opens the world of the demonic to the reader in a humorous yet thought-provoking manner. Lewis provides a picture of demons as carefully trained minions in a well-organized hierarchy that operates continually to bring them into compromise and defeat. Furthermore he describes them as being assigned to particular individuals whom they are supposed to tempt, distract and confuse. The invisibility of demons allows them to work undercover planting thoughts in the individual's mind that he believes he is originating himself."

Abstract
In this article, the writer uses two Buddhist texts, "The Lotus Born" and "The Life of Milarepa" to compare and contrast the concepts of "demons" across a number of different dimensions such as how they manifest in the world of humans, how they are exorcised, and how they are viewed by Milarepa and Padmasambhava.

From the Paper
"In 'The Lotus-Born' the story of Padmasambhava or the Lotus-Born is offered a mystic Buddhist who allegedly originated the practice of Tantric Buddhism in Tibet and developed the first monastery. In 'The Life of Milarepa' the life of the legendary Buddhist Milarepa is illustrated. This analysis will compare and contrast the concept of demons as they appear in both texts. Questions of how each Buddhist interacts with demons how each battles demons and how each is able to attain spiritual enlightenment in the process ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the mechanics of a game involving angels and demons. The paper goes into detail about the way the game is played, the objectives in the game and how to win. This game is a game played on the computer and the paper describes how the computer plays against the player.

From the Paper
"The action of this game is found at the end of the Bible when God and his angels fight against Satan and his demons over converts. A player must pick up Bible icons for protection for the converts. More icons picked up the more points there are. Icons can be used to obtain more angels or converts. The demons can attack both converts and angels. The only way to protect converts is through the Bible icons. When a demon hits a convert or angel, points wreck up for the opponent. The object of the game is to win points in favor of God and the angels. The computer adds points against God and his angels. Whenever the game is over whoever has the most points wins the game."

Abstract
This paper explains that the concept of demons in the Greco-Roman world was very complex because the terms "demon" and "daimon" meant different things to different religious groups. Whereas, to the Greeks and Romans, daimons were supernatural beings, lower than gods, with the ability to help or hurt humans, to Christians, demons were evil spirits only out to harm mankind. The paper relates that both groups saw the importance of demons and utilized them in their own ways as described by the author. The paper uses MLA style footnotes but does not include a works cited page.

From the Paper
"The practice of exorcising demons was not limited to professed Christians. Since Christians were not the only people who were believed to be possessed by demons, the practice of exorcism was not limited to those who practiced Christianity. When questioned by the apostle John whether or not exorcisms in the name of Christ practiced by non-Christians should be allowed. ... This sense of near cooperation between Christians and Romans clearly shows how much the Christians feared and distrusted demons."

Abstract
This paper proposes a study to examine the causal connection between the foreign policy framework created by post Carter U.S presidents, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. It also looks at the extent to which U.S. presidents' foreign policy approaches set the stage for the emergence of terrorism as a global threat and the measures which enabled terrorist groups to play such an important role in contemporary decision-making processes. In addition, the paper discusses which actions taken by the administrations could have been averted and what would have been the consequences.

From the Paper
"There have been numerous studies done in the area of international relations which have dealt primarily with the issue of the United States as a major power and its influential role in world politics. In fact, it can be said that even the idea of the study of the way in which the decisions taken at the national level manage to influence the international context and the conduct of other nations has been the initiative of scholars from the United States, following the end of the Second World War. More importantly however, the opinions and approaches of the academic world have pointed out the fact that, although the US entered the international political arena at the turn of the 20th century, it has dominated world politics ever since. In this sense, Martin Wight in Power Politics compares major powers along the history and acknowledges the exclusive status of the US in the world. Although his research was limited, due to objective factors, to the period of the Cold War, his analysis in important for the present study because it points out the role the US had in the ideological confrontation with the USSR and sets the historical framework for determining the measures taken by the US administrations in this time frame.

Abstract
This paper discusses racial issues in Canada. Specifically, it looks at demonizing and criminalizing African-Canadians. The paper argues that this criminalizing makes sense according to conflict theory. In other words, it argues that African-Canadians are being criminalized and demonized in order to maintain the status quo.

From the Paper
"Demonizing and Criminalizing African-Canadians Gang Related Shootings in Toronto In the article We Know the Numbers Linda Diebel looks at a possibly gang related shooting that took place at the funeral of Jamal Hemmings (Diebel 2005: A.08). According to Diebel there have been 48 shooting deaths in Toronto this year (Diebel 2005: A.08). The high number of deaths caused by these shootings has made youth violence a major issue in Toronto. This is because 40 of the people that died were under 30 years of age (Diebel 2005: A.08). The fact that the victims and their killers were almost entirely youths made people think that there was really something wrong with young people in Toronto."

Abstract
This paper examines three heroic characters - Pechorin from Lermontov's "A Hero of Our Time," Onegin from Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin," and the Demon from Lermontov's "The Demon." The paper asserts that a close examination of these works reveals the similarities among Pechorin, the Demon, and Onegin and how each character embodies the qualities of the romantic hero. The paper states that these three characters all have dual personalities; one side is evil and careless, while the other side is closer to nature and expresses human emotion. The paper asserts that each character is also both cynical and sensitive; each temperament is very contradictory. The paper concludes by noting that, throughout each literary work, Pechorin, Onegin, and the Demon come to the realization that they are self-destructive and the emptiness they feel in their lives forces them to act upon experiences and pleasures that soon lead to the downfall of the people they keep closest to them.

From the Paper
"Pechorin's evidently crushed spirit toward the end of the novel suggests that he is not the detached character that he makes himself out to be. It shows that he truly suffers from his actions. Over time, Pechorin grows dissatisfied with his life as each of his impulsive actions lead him through more emotional suffering which he represses from the view of others."

Abstract
This paper examines William Shakespeare s plays, Titus Andronicus and The Merchant of Venice, and the author's enforcement of the discourse of otherness through the demonization of Aaron and Shylock. Through the rhetoric of the plays, both Aaron and Shylock are explicitly demonized. The paper explains how the discourse of otherness is enforced in three stages: by stripping the antagonists of their names, reducing them to subhuman levels, and, finally, equating the antagonists with the devil.

From the Paper
"In Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare presents the discourse of otherness in the praxis. In this scene, Titus Andronicus is returning from war with captives. The Goths, and their queen s lover/slave, Aaron, a Blackamoor. Throughout the play, Aaron is presented outside of the main action of revenge, but has an underhanded, covert role in manipulating the remaining characters. This separateness of physical action perpetuates the discourse of otherness because his character is disregarded by other characters. His lack of physical action in the play is compensated by his movement mentally. From the beginning he is constantly devising a plan to overcome his otherness and servile status. To elevate himself to a position of power."
