Abstract
This paper explains that, among minority students as well as between male and female students, there are discrepancies in educational and occupational expectations and aspirations. The author points out that, using the National Education Longitudinal Study, a gap exists between aspirations and expectations among students who set goals that were unrealistic in nature and who had generally been described as having lower educational achievement levels early on in their education. This paper stresses that, first and foremost, educators have to identify when a potential for a discrepancy exists and than use a combination approach because there is no one solution that will fit every student.

From the Paper
"Why the discrepancy? In the past little effort has been made to differentiate between aspirations and expectations; and example given is a study conducted in 1991 by Marjoribanks, who used the term 'aspirations' to describe his study, but actually measured student expectations. Thus, part of the blame rests on the shoulders of researchers. There is also evidence to suggest that sometimes students create aspirations that are unreasonable or unattainable. This is an issue that must be dealt with by school administrators and teachers, who must work together to help students create aspirations that are attainable and reasonable. In addition, students must be taught in an environment that encourages and supports, and one that recognizes the unique challenges and hardships any individual student may face when attempting to realize their expectations."

Abstract
The paper discusses the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and examines the possibility of either the Mafia or the CIA to conspiring to kill President Kennedy. he author writes that the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, discrepancies in the Warren Report, use of different firearms and ballistic information and key things missing in autopsy photographs all suggest a cover-up.

From the Paper
" On November 22, 1963, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. Seven days later on November 29, 1963, the newly sworn in President, Lyndon B. Johnson, formed a commission that would investigate the assassination. The Warren Commission, as it would later be known, was to evaluate all leads and facts surrounding both the assassination of the President and the assassination of his alleged assassin. After the investigation was complete, the information found was to be reported to the President. The Commission gave their findings to the President in the form of the Warren Report, as the chairman of the Commission was Earl Warren. President Johnson had appointed Warren, the former chief justice of the United States, to head up the Commission. The Commission was able to compile much of its information with the help of Federal agencies, the city of Dallas, and thousands upon thousands of testimonies from people associated with the case. The Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin of President Kennedy and that Jack Ruby had killed Lee Harvey Oswald."

Abstract
This paper reviews individually and then compares and contrasts two different books about business, "Business Ethics" by Richard DeGeorge and "The Soul of a Business" by Tom Chappell. "Business Ethics" explores the areas of rationales of a business and describes how things and people should be in harmony so that the business environment is preserved and maintained in a diligent manner. "The Soul of a Business" mentions ways of re-shaping and changing the business in order to work for the common good of the business, customers, employees, entrepreneurs, business owners and community.

From the Paper
"The book begins with an introduction to the present business scenario, then Degeorge explains how to implement and pursue with tools and techniques of ethical analysis and moral reasoning, to the various issues taking place in all areas of business including marketing, finance, management, strategic planning, computer systems, etc. With the assistance of charts, he epitomizes how to use various ethical approaches and how to use these in handling issues. It is an excellent book showing readers how to ponder on various difficult business issues to solutions i.e. not only showing both sides of the issues but also how to think and solve them prudently."

Abstract
Paper indicating great discrepancies in how Canadian labour is presented in the Canadian print media at the present time; failure of capitalist and socialist opinion to discuss Labour and labourers as more than faceless entities; theoretical assumptions of different kinds, all obscuring what the present situation IS, and stands to be. Obviously, assertions on labour in relation to economic conditions must be made carefully.

From the Paper
Representations of Canadian Labour in the Popular Media. Introduction This paper refers to a variety of Canadian news media pieces suggesting a detached understanding of the Canadian labourer. Other media materials imply different opinions of labour and the labour market, the facts of labour shortages in the Province of British Columbia, for instance, described in terms of efforts to ease the entry of workers from the Philippines and elsewhere, in conservative journalism that is obviously meant to inspire sentiment on Canadian unemployment or under-employment versus the alleged necessity of bringing in foreign workers. As the

Abstract
The portrayal of the Russian Revolutions has at times proved so markedly different, that it is hard to believe that authors or observers are discussing the same event. This paper focuses on this discrepancy in representation, highlighting the various factors which determined the way in which 1917 has been portrayed by first-hand observers, and later, by professional historians. In a case like that of the Russian Revolutions, where the generation of ensuing scholars and interpreters of other kinds were constrained by political ideology, we will see that history became the handmaid of the totalitarian regime, particularly under Stalin and his supporters.

Abstract
This paper discusses the love story in Scott F. Fitzgerald's novel, "The Great Gatsby," and examines the reasons for the failure of the love affair between the characters Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan. The paper describes the plot of the story, the characters and their class backgrounds and argues that the relationship was doomed by the discrepancy in the characters' social status.

From the Paper
"As we have seen, the love affair between Gatsby and Daisy was doomed by their class differences. Gatsby was lucky to even manage to meet Daisy, and only achieved this because his uniform disguised his class. Moreover, even though Gatsby spent five years acquiring the wealth and possessions which he thought would lure Daisy back to him, this was not to be. To lure Daisy back and keep her, Gatsby would have needed more than money - he would have needed social class. There are some things money cannot buy, and class is one of them. Thus, despite Gatsby's best efforts, their love affair remained doomed by their class differences."

Abstract
This paper discusses James Madison's "Federalist 10 Paper" and its effects on American government. Distinctions are made between the concepts of "republicanism" and "democracy," and what they implied for the creation of an American legislative system. The author finds discrepancies between what is implied and what is stated in this Madison work.

From the Paper
"In James Madison's essay, the Federalist 10 paper, Madison articulates his hesitations about popular rule, or more accurately, "pure democracy," and the pernicious "faction" that might result from it. To obviate the destructive forces of faction that are implicit in "pure democracy," he offers instead a "republican" form of government. In this arguably elitist document, Madison cites the two methods of "curing the mischiefs of faction," by either "removing its causes" or "controlling its effects"."

Abstract
The paper examines the meaning of the following essays; 'On The Lame', 'On the Cannibals', 'On Experience', and 'We Reach The Same End By Discrepant Means'. Additionally, this essay explores the context derived interpretations of the essays.

From the Paper
"The intelligent technique of the essay serves as a tool for the dissemination of Montaigne's primarily conservative ideals. Montaigne embodies many conservative ideals, encouraging many established values, and describing the reformation as unnecessary, resulting in disagreement from a modern responder, Montaigne does however disparage the dogmatism of many churches, rather Montaigne encourages the use of logic, and despite the movement towards logic Montaigne still encourages savagism, and the reversion to some of the customs of the savages, an idea which is abhorrent to modern science. Montaigne disseminates postmodern ideals towards others. Much of the essay is based upon the arbitrary nature of truth and Montaigne's search for personal enlightenment. The modern interpretation of Montaigne's values is undermined by the historical context of the English language, and its utilitarian past. Montaigne disseminates primarily conservative values encouraged by logic, however the values are subverted by the context of the modern responder."

Abstract
This paper pertains to the techniques within Montaigne's essays and the manner in which they function. The paper discusses several essays including 'On the Cannibals', 'We Reach the Same End by Discrepant Means', 'On the Lame', and 'On Experience'.

From the Paper
"Through the careful and intelligent use of language Montaigne is able to successfully disseminate his didactic. Montaigne utilizes many subtle yet effective techniques to convince to responder, exploiting polemic, displaying bias towards one opinion, yet such a bias is undermined by the continual contradictions within We reach the same end by discrepant means, in addition to the seeming lack of bias within some sections. Montaigne uses the collective within his essays, creating a nexus between himself and the responder, while quoting historical examples and anecdotes, creating a personal tone within the essay, supplemented through the use of Stream of Consciousness in the Narrative form, through the clever use of language Montaigne is able to establish a rapport with the responder, creating the impression of assumed knowledge, while forcing guilt upon the responder should they disagree. In order to create a successful essay one must perceptively utilize language techniques, such that the responder may be manipulated to concur with the disseminated didactic."
