Abstract
The paper briefly argues that Desmond's discussion of Hawaiian tourism offers a good complement to the implicit eroticism involved in experiencing tourism through the practices of the body. The paper shows how human sexuality - chiefly of a heterosexual nature - is used to familiarize oneself to the foreign terrain of the tourist site (at least in Hawaii); it can also be used, in a real sense, to first commodify, and then to gain mastery over, the tourist location.

"The following paper will briefly argue that Desmond's discussion of Hawaiian tourism offers a good complement to the implicit eroticism involved in experiencing tourism through the practices of the body. In short, human sexuality - chiefly of a heterosexual nature - is used to familiarize oneself to the foreign terrain of the tourist site (at least in Hawaii); it can also be used, in a real sense, to first commodify, and then to gain mastery over, the tourist location. Desmond approvingly cites scholars like Marianna Torgovnick who comment..."

Abstract
The paper explores the third chapter of Desmond Morris', "The Naked Ape", as it relates to the development of human children. The paper looks at how Morris basically talks about how human infants differ from primates and how the mother-child bond is very powerful. The paper then explores how L. Salk presents a strong case for imprinting and argues that Salk's argument in defense of imprinting is more impressive because of his original research. The paper also asserts that Morris appears to avoid introducing literature into his work that might contradict his view that imprinting explains why mothers cradle their children as they do. The paper shows how the conclusions of these individuals are very similar, but their methods differ.

From the Paper
"The following paper will explore the third chapter of Desmond Morris', "The Naked Ape", as it relates to the development of human children. In this chapter, Morris basically talks about how human infants differ from primates and how the mother-child bond is very powerful. The chapter also looks at the way in which mothers interact with their children and how the maternal heart beat apparently "imprints" itself on the mind of the child and leads to the mother cradling the child in a particular way."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although his childhood was described as happy, Desmond Tutu, born in 1931, pointed out years later that racial discrimination resulted in a kind of brainwashing, which taught acceptance of exploitation. In 1958, after the takeover of African education by the government, teacher Tutu left this profession to become an Anglican priest. The paper explores TuTu's political achievements as general secretary of the South African Council of Churches (SACC), which advocated civil disobedience as a response to racist law. The author relates the core of Tutu's personal theology and philosophy, which transformed his society.

From the Paper
"In the late 1970s, Tutu began calling for international economic pressure on South Africa, and continued his support of sanctions throughout the 1980s. In June 1980 Tutu met with R. W. Botha on behalf of the SACC to discuss the rapidly deteriorating situation. Tutu based his appeal to the government on four points: a commitment to common citizenship for all South Africans, the abolition of pass laws, the end of forced relocation, and a uniform education system. The discussion did not progress very far, and future meetings collapsed due to government inflexibility. "

Abstract
This is a book review of the 1967 title "The Naked Ape" by Desmond Morris. The book is a narrative on the evolution of the human species and the review digests just that. Looking at the name, the object of human behavior and probability of evolution, the writer breaks down these theories for the reader by providing a brief look at some of the problems of Morris' arguments as well as some of successes. The general conclusion is that "The Naked Ape" provides a very interesting and compelling read, but much of the claims cannot be backed by scientific research.

From the Paper
"Aside from shedding the thick layer of fur that covers all other primates and most other mammals, Morris believes that one of the defining characteristics of the human species is the fact that we evolved as predators and omnivores--that is, we hunt and eat other animals in addition to plant matter. Hunting requires both a different skill set and certain different biological mechanisms than what exists in most other primates, and Morris believes that the hunting practiced by early human ancestors did much to separate them still further from other primate species, both as a reflection and possible cause of their evolution. In fact, Morris suggests that it is possibly because our ancestors became hunters that they also shed the layer of hair and fat standard to most other primate species; the elimination of this layer and the addition of many sweat glands Is more effective at minimizing overheating, which is necessary when a species is regularly engaged in a highly physical struggle for food--like hunting."

Abstract
This paper explores the third chapter of Desmond Morris', "The Naked Ape," as it relates to the development of human children. It discusses the content of the chapter under discussion and describes Morris' view on imprinting. The paper compares Morris' view with that of L. Salk and his strong case for imprinting. It concludes that these individuals are very similar, but their methods differ.

From the Paper
"In the end, Desmond Morris relies heavily upon the work of Salk in the third chapter of his book. Instinctively, I am inclined to think that Morris is correct in dismissing left-handed cradling; I am also inclined to think that the matter is more complicated than he acknowledges - especially given the findings of later research. Fundamentally, I prefer Salk's findings to Morris' simple regurgitation of them; by engaging in original research, Salk gives his conclusions an authenticity that Morris does not. Furthermore, Morris' refusal to cite studies supporting the arguments of critics insisting that left-handed cradling is caused by "right-handedness" in society leaves the reader with the impression that he erected a "straw-man" so that his own argument would be strengthened."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and reviews the book "Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch" by Desmond Alexander and David Baker. The paper explains that, although the title of the book would leave one questioning what light a dictionary could possibly shed on one's theological and philosophical understanding of the Old Testament, the book does, in fact, have a lot to offer its readers and contains a clear message and mission about the Old Testament.

From the Paper
"The section of the authors on the "Image of God" is perhaps the most powerful example of how a dictionary format can be instructive as a way of teaching an individual about the theological and historical nuances of the Bible. Rather than seeking the Image of God as a particular doctrine, expressed differently and piecemeal in a few texts, or pertaining only to the Genesis creation myth, the authors trace how humanity was made in the image of God, and yet connect this concept to the mention of God's image in other texts of the books of Moses, such as the condemnation of idolatry in the story of the Golden Calf and in the Ten Commandments. They stress how God's Image in the Pentateuch was also regarded as sacred thing, not a part of the idolatrous worship of the human-created image common to paganism."

Abstract
This paper discusses the basis of realizing American foreign policy in the War on Terror and considers it to be a major issue, which relies on religious segregation and fundamentalist principles. The follows by stating that the basis of war in regards to terrorism is an issue of fundamentalists on both sides (Christian and Islamic), which can be secularized through the foreign policies that Gandhi and Tutu argue in their philosophies.

From the Paper
"In this study, the issue of non-violence will be examined within the philosophy of Desmond Tutu and Gandhi within the current issues of terrorism worldwide. Through the scope of American imperialism and the "War on Terror", one can realize how the premise of non-violence can help bring about changes in how the United States can slowly dissolve this major world crisis in the Arab world. In this manner, the issue of no-violence can help stave off future attacks and bring about changes in foreign policy that the United States now imposes through the "War on Terror." The complex ideas that form terrorist policy in both United Nations, the American government, and within the public theories on Al Qaeda in modern times are a serious and proliferated problem. "

Abstract
The paper focuses on Desmond Morris' article "Territorial Behavior" that discusses how we all have a natural instinct to protect our personal space. The writer applies this idea to the college community at Lehigh
and explains the many different reasons why we put up walls around our personal space. The writer asserts that if everyone in your phonebook is somehow related to one another, it is time for you to expand your horizons by making new friends outside your clique.

From the Paper
"A dog marks its territory to warn off other canines by urinating around the area it is in. When another dog smells the urine, it will stay away as to avoid having a dispute with the owner of the space. Human beings act very similarly but do so with a more subtle approach and that does not involve a stench as strong. As explained by Desmond Morris in his article "Territorial Behavior," we all have a natural instinct to protect the space that we are occupying. This is certainly more evident in a college community such as Lehigh where everyone is occupied with their own agendas and things to do. Most students think that the world revolves around the little area that they belong to and rarely take the times to explore the opportunities and experiences outside of it. At the same time, Lehigh students put up walls to shut out certain people. This prevents growth and development of well rounded human beings."

Abstract
This paper explains that Leonard Peltier, a Lakota-Ojibwe Indian, raised on the Turtle Mountain Reservation, experienced the government's intrusion on the rights of his people when he was sent to a U.S. residential boarding school for Native Americans. The author points out that Peltier, who was an active member of the American Indian Movement (AIM), which was founded to protect Indian people from cultural, spiritual and physical genocide, and his supporters believe that he was targeted by the FBI's COINTELPRO program, which suppresses people by using methods of arrest, slander and attack. The paper relates that Peltier's plight as a living martyr garnered international attention after the publication of Peter Matthiessen's famous book, "In the Spirit of Crazy Horse", in 1983; Peltier's supporters included such people as the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Mother Theresa, Amnesty International and 50 members of the U.S. Congress.

From the Paper
"Peltier's co-defendants, were tried separately. Civil rights lawyer, William Kunstler, defended Butler and Robideau and argued that they had fired in self-defense. Kunstler expounded on, throughout the trial, the saga of white oppression of American Indians. Peltier's trial, in Fargo, North Dakota, had a different tone, Judge Paul Benson refused to allow any testimony unrelated to the events at Pine Ridge. The all-white jury did not hear of the injustices experienced by the American Indians. Peltier was found guilty on two counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to two consecutive life terms."

Abstract
This paper examines Billy Wilder's classic film "Sunset Boulevard", which provides a fascinating insight into the early Hollywood film industry. The paper explains that the movie explores the gritty insides of a system that is based on the advanced capitalist model of assembly line production for mass consumption. The paper also discusses that, behind the bright lights and the glamour, there are human lives that are at stake - human lives that the capitalist machinery consumes and destroys. The paper looks at how "Sunset Boulevard" shows how this process takes its toll on the main character, a has-been silent movie actress named Norma Desmond. In conclusion, the paper shows that ultimately, "Sunset Boulevard" demonstrates the ways in which the Hollywood star system uses and discards its "heroes of consumption"; those who become integrated into the star system are tossed aside once their image is no longer considered attractive.

From the Paper
"This introduction sets up the morbid scene that Norma dwells in. With her pet monkey gone, she is now all alone in her decaying mansion, save for her servant Max, who is strangely devoted to the aging starlet, going so far as to foster her delusions about herself. While Norma has been discarded by the industry that made her star and all but forgotten by her fans, Max, it is later revealed, drops autograph requests in the mail to her on a daily basis from fake fans in order to give Norma the illusion that she is still revered.It is not long before an unsteady relationship develops between Norma and Joe. It is a relationship that is based on need, as both characters are desperate. Joe is in need of just the simple things in life. As a failed screenwriter, he is unable to pay his bills, and no one in Hollywood even cares about him enough to lend him money to get through the tough times. Norma, on the other hand, has plenty of money."
