Abstract
This paper presents a detailed demonstration of the meaning of petrification of the myth. The writer takes the reader on an exploratory journey to discover what the term means and how it effects the myths. Using several examples of its occurrence the writer demonstrates the term and its meaning.

From the Paper
"Petrifiction of a myth can mean death to a myth. The petrification process is a process by which a substance is hardened to such a point, that it will hold its current look and value for all time. The petrification of stones for example can create some beautiful discussion pieces, while the petrifications of dinosaur shapes can tell the world the history of their existence. Petrification in many areas can be a positive thing, but the myth that petrifies ceases to serve its purpose and soon dies. Therefore, the petrification of the myth is the myth's biggest challenge and one that it has to work its way around for its entire existence."

Abstract
The paper looks at the issue of human rights surrounding the massacre at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China in 1989. The paper analyzes how the student's grief, due to the passing of Hu Yaobang, the party general secretary, led to this peaceful demonstration and examines how the student's quest for human rights was inspired by Gorbachev's visit to China.

From the Paper
"Chinese students led a peaceful demonstration in Tiananmen Square for seven weeks. The events that led to the demonstration were sparked by the death of Hu Yaobang, the party general secretary. Yaobang was favored by youth in China because he was considered to be more open to their ideals, unlike others within the political realm. However, Yaobang was forced to resign because of this support by China's leader, Deng Xiopeng. Within a short time after his withdrawal from government, Yoabang was dead, and in April of 1989 Chinese students were united in mourning for the man that they had considered their only hope to reform the Chinese government. In May of 1989 Soviet leader Mikihal Gorbachev visited China, and his position on transforming communists governments was inspirational to these students."

"Descartes and God

More consequences for thought and action follow from the affirmation or denial of God than from answering any other basic question (Hutchins 543). It is a fact that, long before Descartes, Man often thought of himself as the supreme being of the Universe, and still obedient to, or believing in, or trusting some superhuman Being called God.

While for millennia, philosophers have debated the idea or ideas of God, Descartes states that ONE idea alone, becomes the basis for such an inference. He supplements his a priori or ontological argument with what he calls a posteriori demonstration of God s existence from the mere idea that God exists in us (Hutchins 554). God exists, Descartes writes, because He possesses every sort of perfection (and) existence is one of them "

Abstract
This paper maintains that great works of literature are relevant to contemporary audiences because they contain ideas and themes that are universal and eternal. Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" and Plato's "Apology" are used to show how the themes and ideas in these works are relevant to contemporary audiences in Atlanta, Georgia.

From the Paper
"The hallmark of great literature is its ability to stand the test of time. In many instances, literature that survives centuries or even millennia and is still pertinent to audiences, last because of its universal themes, ideas or appeals to the human heart. If we look at two works considered to be great literature, Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" and Plato's "Apology", it is readily apparent that these works are highly relevant to contemporary life in Atlanta, Georgia, because of their eternal themes and ideas."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the history of Chinese dissent since the Maoist revolution is not encouraging for those with a democratic outlook, though there have been courageous and tragic acts of resistance since the Mao's establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The paper relates that since that time, the most recognized event undertook by the pro democratic movement took place at Tiananmen Square in 1989. The paper explores this earth-shattering event in contrast to how China presents itself to the West, to create an illuminating picture of this proud country's troubles and its rapport with the democratic Western nations.

Abstract
The paper examines the issue of evil as portrayed in Christopher Marlowe's "The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus". The paper discusses the influence of religion on Marlowe and how he applied those influences to the text.

From the Paper
"Evil is manifestly demonstrated in Christopher Marlowe's "Tragical History of Doctor Faustus" via its embodiment in characters such as Lucifer and hisfactotum Mephistophilis who becomes Faustus's factotum-in-residence for years. Equally, however, especially through Faustus, it is illustrated in character behavior. Repeatedly, and with increasing force as the action proceeds, Faustus is presented with a choice between good and evil and invariably deliberately he makes the bad choice. The structure of Faustus's experience over the course of the play is that given power, he misuses it choosing always anything..."

Abstract
This paper tries to explore the exploitation of sex in advertising and is broken down into sections involving, men, women and children. It defines what exploitation is and tries to determine the limits of what advertisers can use before it becomes pornography. It looks at how the exploitation of sex and women in advertising has been going on as as early as the mid 1400s in wood carved signs on store fronts and how the exploitation of men as ?beefcakes? has been more recent. It discusses how the biggest criticisms are the exploitations of prepubescent children in advertising. Picture examples of different advertisements are included.

From the Paper
"Voices, whether male or female are chosen to convey a specific message to an intended market. The when choosing a orator, a determination needs to be made initially whether the ad is being portrayed as coming from an announcer or a spokesperson. A spokesperson must portray the part of an actual user of the good or service, where, as the announcer must have an authoritative intonation. Announcers are primarily men, because of the deeper voices that exude authority. Although one study (Frieden 1984) showed that there was not a significant difference in the effect of having a male or female voice, rather that men are usually chosen as announcers more out of habit than necessity. Many times advertisers and companies will use celebrity voice-overs or celebrity spokespersons in commercials because of the recognition of their voices without having to see the person. The best example of this is James Earl Jones (AT&T) or William Shattner (Priceline.com). Both of these men have very distinct and recognizable voices that demand high salaries for this type of work.

"It is the purpose of this research to analyze two separate approaches to the development of a statistical relationship between the level of advertising funds expended in the marketing of a product and the realized sales of that product, with subsidiary goals of: a) evaluating the significance of the relationship between advertising expenditures and sales; and b) forecasting the sales of a product through use of the advertising/sales relationship established.

The product selected for this analysis is ?Crest" brand toothpaste, which is produced by Proctor & Gamble. The two approaches to the development of a statistical relationship ... "

Abstract
In this article, the writer considers how Socrates would have responded to the tenets of the philosophical schools of skepticism, Epicureanism and stoicism, all of which emerged after the death of Socrates. The paper concludes that since Socrates searched for spiritual growth he would not have approved of any of these philosophies because they are material philosophies. Furthermore, according to the writer, although Socrates did not arrive at any positive answers, he was not a skeptic because he believed that honest questioning is the path towards wisdom and that the material pursuits are worthwhile only in as far as they lead towards wisdom.

From the Paper
"The Stoics seem to be most in line with the teachings of Socrates. They do indeed claim to be followers of Socrates, and the qualities that make up Stoic virtue - wisdom, courage, temperance and justice - are what Socrates taught to be the qualities of a just an virtuous man. They see these qualities inherent in the natural order of things, and therefore imagine a transcendental rational principle - the Logos - that controls the universe along these guidelines. The Logos is seen as an absolute fixity, indifferent to the individual passions of the human being. In this wise the Stoic aims to be unmoved by either pain or pleasure. He aims to live by the four virtues, and in this wise immerses himself in the natural order of thing."

Summary

From the Paper
"With regard to Erikson's central task of integrity versus despair, it seems that Warren has resolved this conflict throughout his life. Indicators of a positive resolution of this task include "acceptance of worth and uniqueness of one's own life" and "acceptance of death" (Berman, Snyder, Kozier & Erb, 2008, p. 353). Warren seems to accept the fact that his second wife, Mary, has passed away. He may not be happy about it; however, he shows healthy ways of dealing with his loneliness in his relationship with Mary Helen. This is evidenced by him talking about Mary's death being one of the worst things he's experienced as an adult. The reason his life is better now is due to his relationship with Mary Helen and having his children around."
