Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that employment opportunities vary from one city to another, one region to another, and even one neighborhood to another. Further, the writer points out that they also vary greatly in terms of different opportunities for different kinds of jobs and different industries. In this paper, the writer discusses the differences in searching for a job in the two different areas of New York and California. The writer also makes personal comments in this regard. The writer concludes that employment statistics are different for the two states, of course, but to the individual, each job sought is unique and carries with it a unique set of issues, requirements, and opportunities.

From the Paper
"The automobile is much less important in New York City and indeed is often a liability in that city. The transit system in the city is well-developed and extensive, enabling the individual to get virtually anywhere in a reasonable amount of time. Interestingly, this has a somewhat different effect on employment than one might think, at last for many people. In Southern California, the automobile takes the individual throughout the city so that he or she might work some distance from home in spite of the problems this creates for people without a vehicle. Those people may not be able to ravel as far for work and are limited in the choices they can make as a result. In New York, while the transit system is extensive and efficient, commuters may come from out of town on trains and then make use of the local transit system. The system in New York is quite different from that in Los Angeles, but the effect on the worker is much the same, allowing him or her to live some distance from where they work."

Abstract
This paper discusses the substantial stylistic differences between research writing and writing for a non-scholarly audience. According to the paper, the most obvious difference is that the former can be very difficult to read, but the latter are almost always relatively easy to read.

From the Paper
"There are substantial stylistic differences between research writing and writing for a non-scholarly audience. This reflects the fact that they are written for very different audiences - the former for scholars and researchers, and the latter for the broader public. The most obvious difference is that the former can be very difficult to read, but the latter are almost always relatively easy to read. However, there are many subtler stylistic differences as well. This essay examines the differences between the two styles of writing, by comparing Carol S. Dweck's research article entitled "The Role of Expectations and Attributions in the..."

Abstract
A paper about sports history, a comparison between ancient sports and modern sports of today. The author looks at aspects such as the sports played, how they were played, their technological differences and how their symbolic and societal meanings differ.

From the Paper
"Sports in the ancient world had their similarities to modern sports, but there are a few differences as well. In modern sports, there is more attention to detail when preparing fields for play, but nonetheless there are numerous amounts of workers who prepare the fields that athletes play on. In modern sports, nearly every sport has their schedules devised much before the season even begins. Although not all sports had officials at that time, there were people who kept order. In ancient sports, there were no records that were kept of ongoing statistics. Without role players, teams could not play to their optimum levels at all times."

Abstract
The following paper will look at the differing perceptions of gender in Paradise Lost and in Aphra Behn's, Oroonoko. Specifically, the paper will argue that Milton's text portrays women as weak-willed beings (for the most part) who are credulous and who should remain loyally fastened to their husbands' sides. By comparison, Aphra Behn - through the character of Imoionda - shows women (at least one woman) as being thoughtful, defiant, able to manipulate others (in Imoionda's case, it is the elderly king), and assertive when it comes to her own sexuality (she knows the man she wishes to be with, in other words). Ultimately, it may be argued that Milton presents a very Christian and patriarchal view of women while Aphra Behn provides a very feminine - and feminist - depiction of the so-called "fairer sex".

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons for these differences and how the German occupation in each country affected their respective Jewish populations. In addition, the attitudes of each country's non-Jewish population is analyzed as to the effect they had on the outcome of the Nazi Party's goal of making Europe Judenrein (free of Jews).

From the Paper
"Having developed along parallel lines in many areas, the Nordic countries may appear as an entity instead of as separate, sovereign countries. The differences of the nations, however, show up clearly when one investigates the fates of the Jewish populations in the respective countries during WWII." It is easy to group the countries of Scandinavia into a single mass based solely on location, but it is imperative to realize that each faced its own unique set of circumstances during WWII. It is most fascinating to examine these circumstances as they apply to Norway and Denmark; within their borders, they were subjected to radically different levels of German influence. "

Abstract
In his book "Different Games, Different Rules: Why Americans and Japanese Misunderstand Each Other," Haru Yamada attempts to explain the cultural disconnection that commonly occurs between people from the two very different cultures of the United States and Japan. The paper shows that, for Yamada, the explanation lies in linguistic differences. The paper examines the key thesis of the book that the main difference between the two cultures is found in the implicit and explicit delivery of messages.

From the Paper
"The language of both cultures functions to display and reinforce the values that the individual is brought up with. When people from each of these cultures attempts to communicate, the differences in values is what leads to misunderstandings. Words, phrases, and expressions in one language may have the same literal meaning in the other language, but because the connotations are completely different, they do not actually mean the same thing."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the heroes of King Gilgamesh from an unknown author's poem "Gilgamesh" and Odysseus from Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey". The paper examines how both of the men are heroes, but with very different ideals. Given these differences, the paper attempts to compare the characters as men, leaders and wanderers, rather than as heroes. The paper first discusses how both men take epic, life-changing journeys; but while the journey itself is similar for both men, the purposes they serve are very different. Next, the paper studies similarities between the two, such as the authors' early description of the character as heroic, their strength of character to reject women who are not right for them, their industriousness and their morality. The paper concludes with another discussion of the differences between the two characters, focusing on their maturation, in particular the fact that Odysseus is a father.

From the Paper
"First, both men complete difficult journeys throughout their stories. Odysseus takes twenty years to make it home to his wife and family, while Gilgamesh goes on a quest to seek life forever after he loses his friend Enkidu. Their journeys are similar, but they serve very different purposes. Odysseus' journey's ultimate purpose is to return home and reunite with his family, who he loves above all else. His reason for his journey is heroic but also filled with passion and deep love. Gilgamesh's journey is based on his own needs and wants, rather than those of family or loved ones. Grieving after the death of his best friend, he begins a search for everlasting life. In the end, he finds himself instead, and finds happiness in understanding himself, but his journey is far more selfish than Odysseus' journey, and has very different goals. This helps point out a major difference in the two heroic characters - their motivation. Odysseus is heroic in his journey - he saves his men, kills and defeats monsters and evil gods and goddesses, and always has his eye on his family and returning home. He is strong, but he is also motivated, and this adds to his heroism and his high ideals. Gilgamesh is motivated by his own desires, and so his heroism is self-motivated, rather than motivated by others. He is selfish and willful, and sometimes seems like a child when compared to Odysseus."

Abstract
This essay is a comprehensive discussion of the reasons why the depictions of slavery in these two books are so markedly different. The intended audience, time period the book was written, differing experiences of the respective authors, and other factors are identified and examined as reasons for this disparity.

From the Paper
"Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass were both former slaves in the south, and both reflected on their various life experiences in their autobiographical works. The format of these books is similar, but the content is vastly different. The Frederick Douglass work is a scathing attack on the institution of slavery, while Up From Slavery focuses less on the various evils of slavery and more on the methods by which African Americans could advance themselves in the post-slavery era. This fundamental difference, and others contained in the respective works, can be explained by many factors. Douglass spent much more of his life enslaved, and therefore may have had more insight than Washington into the realities of slavery. In addition, slavery was by no means a uniform institution, and in certain areas, may have been far worse and more severe than in others. Perhaps most importantly, however, the audiences for which these two works were intended are quite different, and as a result, the authors had to shape their arguments in dissimilar ways. Douglass' account was written before the abolition of slavery, and therefore, he aimed his book mainly towards northern white abolitionists. Washington wrote his book later, and for a much wider audience, including both northern and southern whites, as well as blacks. His dependence on whites for funding for his Tuskegee school, as well as his desire of support from the surrounding community made it much less advisable for him to publish a scathing attack on slavery as Douglass had."

Abstract
The writer of this paper shows that World War I is the same war as previous wars only in the idealistic sense and that it is also the last ancient war. Realistically, it is different from every other war. It discusses how, in this war, technology changed everything. War is no longer personal. It explains that it was not ancient in terms of military tactics, but ancient in its sense of purpose.

From the Paper
"Perhaps the most gruesome war in the history of the modern world, World War I is a shining display of human greed for power and control and the kind of vicious means that men will seek to fulfill their ends. Overall, millions of lives were lost on both the German and Allied sides. Yet, the most ironic thing is the fact that nothing was really accomplished from all the bloodshed and tyranny of WWI, for it would be less than 30 years later when Nazi Germany under the maniacal rule of Adolph Hitler would come to power and once again pose a threat to the rest of the world. It is for this reason that some believe that WWI was a distillation and continuation of all wars that have occurred in the past. This statement would seem to coincide with Chris Hedges' opinion that: "We urge young men to war, making the slaughter they are asked to carry out a rite of passage. And this rite has changed little over the centuries, centuries in which there has almost continuously been a war raging somewhere on the planet" (Hedges 10)."

Abstract
Businesses can be of many types and forms. When choosing a particular type of business it is important to keep in mind what the goals and objectives are that the entrepreneur wants to achieve. The paper shows that a small personal business may be in form of a proprietorship or a partnership, while an organizational form of business would be in form of a private limited company or a public limited company. The three forms of businesses discussed in this paper are: Sole trader,
private limited company (Ltd.) and public limited company (PLC).

From the Paper
"Corporations are totally independent legal entities. They have limited liability, meaning their owners are not individually liable and do not have to use personal assets to pay off business debts, apart from the personal assets they invest in the business. A corporation also carries on indefinitely regardless of the death of an owner, director or officer of the business. In some countries Limited Liability Partnerships may be created which have many similarities to a partnership, but have limited liability."
