Abstract
This paper discusses how the character of Dexter Green in F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, "Winter Dreams", is under the impression that becoming rich will bring happiness. The paper then relates that Dexter Green's "winter dreams" of wealth do not result in a truly fruitful life, because, as they say, money doesn't buy everything. The paper also relates that Dexter eventually gets the opposite of happiness and that, due to his dreams of grandeur, Dexter does not get to pursue a fulfilling love life.

From the Paper
"Early in life, Dexter has dreams of becoming a great man, a respected man, even a famous man. Dexter imagines himself defeating a golf champion and then becoming one while he caddies for pocket money. Dexter dreams up "a marvelous match played over a hundred times in the fairways of his imagination, a match each detail of which he changed about untiringly - sometimes winning with almost laughable ease, sometimes coming up magnificently from behind" (Fitzgerald 1824). Dexter always wins in his dreams, as most people do in their dreams. But isn't this a bit unrealistic? Dreams, after all, are not reality. Will one always come out on top? Dexter certainly believes he can, but that does not mean he will. "

Abstract
This paper relates that F. Scott Fitzgerald (Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald) was an Irish-American Jazz Age novelist and short story writer, who is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. The author points out that Fitzgerald's protagonists are often reflections of the author and his wife Zelda -- heroes who are handsome, confident and predestined that blaze brilliantly before exploding and heroines who are beautiful, tempting and manipulative. The paper compares the couples from the two writings, Jay and Daisy of "The Great Gatsby" and Dexter and Judy of "Winter Dreams", who want greatness but end in misery.

From the Paper
"Both of these women were described as insensitive, unfaithful women, because both being involved in unsatisfactory marriages, they were having an affair with the male character, Jay Gatsby, respectively Dexter Green. Also Daisy was especially cruel when it came to significant issues. She ran over a woman and killed her, yet afterwards she simply went home and ate dinner, as nothing happened. She cared more about the heat than the person she murdered. Judy was heartless too when it came to the men who adored her."

Abstract
This paper looks at how, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams", the character of Dexter dreams of winning the love of Judy Jones. In particular, the paper focuses on whether Dexter's dream simply represents the unrequited love of an adolescent or whether it represents in microcosm the American dream.

From the Paper
"Dexter is fourteen when we meet him. He is confident and a daydreamer and spends time in the "fairways of his imagination" (318). Dexter's real dreams begin when he meets Judy Jones. Dexter is a caddy, and Judy is fourteen, "beautifully ugly as little girls are apt to be" (Fitzgerald 318). When they meet on the golf course, Dexter is immediately smitten. Dexter describes Judy as "inexpressibly lovely" (318) and believes she will "bring no end of misery to a great number of men" (318). Dexter is completely overwhelmed by the depth of his attraction to Judy. After a chance meeting several years later, Dexter again falls under Judy's spell. Even when he knows Judy lies to him, he is heartened at her attention and care that "she had taken the trouble to lie to him" (323). "

Abstract
This paper explains that the globalization of the world's economy began with the colonial powers, such as England and Spain, expanding their influence through trade into ever-expanding empires. The author points out that, after the Second World War, new world economists Harry Dexter White and John Maynard Keynes developed the ideas upon which the current globalized economy is based. Its goals were to open up gradually global markets to the extent seen prior to the Great Depression. The paper relates that the success of the current globalization is possible because (1) consumers no longer prefer items made "at home" and (2) information technologies have expanded global business transactions to the fingertips of the individual.

From the Paper
"Essentially, market forces are anticipated to help smooth out the bumps in our economy but cannot be expected to act alone. The United States, Friedman argues, as the dominant force in the world needs to take the lead. "Given these challenges and opportunities, the United States needs a strategy to make globalization sustainable and to ensure that we will always be able to compete effectively in this world." This strategy is, necessarily, strongly tied to governmental pressures and controls upon the extent and manner by which foreign markets can be utilized by individuals and corporations. Globalization needs to be used as a tool to help bring the rest of the world up to the level of the United States, not as a device to degrade the advances that America has fought so hard to attain."

Abstract
For companies to survive in today's marketplace, it is almost essential that they spread their resources overseas. Outside of the United States, opportunities exist for cheaper means of production, labor, and even customer service. This paper examines the history of the concept of globalization, tracing it to the the wake of the Second World War with the ideals of Harry Dexter White and John Maynard Keynes. It then continues to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the growing trend for businesses to take advantage of the technological advances in travel and communications to further their profits. The paper examines the consequences, both negative and positive, of globalization.

From the Paper
"One clear result of this change in the marketplace is that the consumers of today lack the strong bias towards products that were manufactured close to home a bias that accompanied consumers early in the post war era. "Thus, the decline in bias, or its equivalent, expanding globalization, has apparently enabled the United States to finance and, hence, incur so large a current account deficit". (Greenspan 2004). Basically, because Americans are generally unconcerned with the origin of the products they consume, they have accumulated debt with respect to foreign markets."

Abstract
This paper examines the article, "Five Critical Questions," that appeared in the February 7 issue of "Business Week." The first question, asked and addressed by Stan Crock is, "What Kind of Superpower" will America be in its future? The second question asked by Pete Engardio, deals with "What's Next for the Global Economy?" The third question, asked by Paul Starobin, is "What is Moscow's New Role?" The fourth question, asked by Dexter Roberts, is "How does China Play its Hand?" The fifth and final question as asked by Stanley Reed is: "Will the Arab Nation ever Change?" These questions and their answers are an attempt at understanding the tragedy of September 11.

From the Paper
"The first question, asked and addressed by Stan Crock is, "What Kind of Superpower" will America be in its future? In the past, America has often claimed not to be a hegemonic or imperialistic nation, and Republicans such as Bush have generally refrained (at least in theory) from global government, internationalism, or "nation-building" and tended towards isolationism. However, in the wake of a perceived active and growing terrorist threat, Bush is pushing America towards sweeping international power. He suggests that terrorist activity would be cut by aiding foreign governments in improving border controls and intelligence, overhauling their judicial system, and helping them to track the financial activities of citizens suspected of crime or terrorism, and providing military support for anti-terrorist or counter-revolutionary measures. Much of this would be done in cooperation with the World Bank. It's unclear how far he will take this, as both many American citizens and foreign powers have deep reservations about such global controls."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the nursing profession is profoundly challenging, characterized by long hours, high levels of workplace stress and the need to make crucial decisions. The writer explains that since these challenges have implications which have significant bearings on the well-being of others, nursing requires a great deal of individual skill and organizational dexterity. The writer discusses that this is the reason for the development of the Nursing Manager, who will effectively compliment the traditional knowledge and education of a Registered Nurse (RN) with an advanced education, extended or more formalized training and a more varied body of knowledge. This discussion is additionally underscored by a distinctly Christian perspective concerning the orientation, responsibilities and leadership opportunities for the nursing manager.

From the Paper
"And certainly the managing nurse is responsible for providing care across many different health care arenas. As mentioned throughout this section of the paper, hope is essential to all human beings in facing up to personal struggles. Individuals who are confronting devastating illness or end of life needs will especially benefit from the promotion of the hope to endure and overcome their struggles. As mentioned here throughout, it is important for the nurse manager to personally understand the concept of hope within their own lives so they can promote and encourage hope among their patients. Additionally, studies have shown that nurses and health care workers are direct and crucial sources of hope for their patients. As nurse manager it is important to understand that even in the face of death, hope can still be established and that the patient can still benefit distinctly from the presence of hope."

Abstract
The paper relates that Erikson's oral sensory stage is a tool for assessing the likelihood of the successful transmittal of trust into the twins Tamie and Jamie M.. The paper explains that both twins have a high level of intelligence and this is demonstrated through their motor activity; their knowledge level is not limited other than by their surroundings-Tamie and Jamie M. are able to function at the highest level their environment will allow; they have excellent retention and comprehend routines and they remember how a puzzle goes together and how nesting blocks fit into each other. The paper further explains that their mobility is excellent-they walk with balance and do not fall because they are strong enough to reach out and grab a chair or desk to help their balance. The paper points out that Tamie and Jamie M.'s finger dexterity is still developing-they frequently drops things, their symbolic abilities are excellent and they use body language, inflection and simple word structure to express themselves without frustration (Boukydis and Lester 2008).

Abstract
This paper discusses how the man-made constructions known as the seven wonders of the world that have undeniably withstood the test of time not only showcase the greatness of man's dexterity but also showcase the society's rich socio-cultural heritage. The paper takes us on a tour of the seven wonders according to geographical location. It begins in Asia where Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, and the Petra can be found and then moves to South America where ancients cities of Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza can be located as well the gigantic Giant Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

From the Paper
" If the Great Wall of China was constructed for the country's defense purposes, the reason for construction of Taj Mahal says a different story. Taj Mahal was built under the rule of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to honor the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal who died during childbirth. "The mausoleum stands on a marble plinth 23 feet high and has four identical faces with a chamfered corner and a massive arch of height 108 feet on each face. Parapets create the skyline rhythm of the mausoleum over each arch and by pinnacle and domed kiosks on each corner" (ibid.). This construction has received numerous praises for its beauty, particularly when its marble surface reflects the morning sunlight as well as the variety of accessories used in the structure's design that adds beauty to the mausoleum."

Abstract
This paper examines the anatomy of a fetal pig, and indicates how to gain dexterity with the instruments used in the dissection procedure. The author compares the anatomy of the fetal pig with that of the human body.

From the Paper
"The first step was to obtain the Fetal Pig and to tie it in the supine position, anterior surface facing up in side the dissection pan. To tie the animal, we used butcher's twine and secured the front and hinds legs using a lasso technique. To make the first incision I had to locate the Xifoid Process of the Fetal Pig, distal aspect of the sternum."
