From the Paper
"Cigarettes are a commodity product, distinguishable only through the image of their brand. This has been proven through blind-fold tests on dedicated brand smokers who could not tell their brand from others when branding images were removed. It is also true that smokers choose their brand early, when they first begin smoking, based on the brands smoked by their peers. In the US, Newport cigarettes have a 75% market share among blacks and only 12% among whites. It can hardly be asserted that the reason for this is that different tastes appeal to different races."

Abstract
The paper explains the importance of Geisha to the Japanese culture. The paper explains that Geisha means "a person of the arts" and the typical geisha was adept in flower arranging, calligraphy, music, dance, and the unique Japanese tea ceremony. The paper describes the art exhibit that will include the Kimono traditional clothing, Ikebana (flower arranging) and Japanese calligraphy. The paper relates that visitors to the art exhibition will leave with a clear understanding of geisha's striking contrast with the reserved nature of the regular Japanese culture. The paper includes images of the Kimono clothing, flower arranging and Japanese calligraphy.

From the Paper
"To understand the importance of Geisha to the Japanese culture as well as its significance within that culture, one must first understand Japanese culture. Within Japan the Japanese language epitomizes the culture with its emphasis on order and structure while such aspects as clothing, epitomized by the kimono which means literally "something that is worn" are widely seen within the culture as the ideal of Japanese garments (Sugimoto 43). Additionally, Japanese culture takes art forms such as painting, wood block prints, and especially calligraphy based on Chinese characters and makes of them a highly stylized, abstract art form. Yet, Japanese are, in their daily lives, quite reserved and adhere to strict social mores regarding behavior, speech, and a high regard for social order (Sugimoto 14). Thus, it can be imagined that where the typical historical Japanese woman might be reserved and less forward in not wanting to bring attention to herself geisha became a highly stylized representation of the Japanese woman. That is, without the social constraints of folkway and mores that barred traditional Japanese women from self-expression, geisha might be thought of as the unconscious expression of how many women, and men, conceived them to be."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the power and domination demonstrated in relations between men and women. The writer examines these gender issues in East Harlem, making use of the book 'In Search of Respect' by Philippe Bourgois.

From the Paper
"In the world of East Harlem, the El Barrio depicted in Philippe Bourgois' 'In Search of Respect', gender relations are in a state of flux. In response both to trends in the broader society, such as the women's movement, and to changes within traditional Puerto Rican culture as patriarchal authority collapses, gender relations between women and men are shifting. However, as Bourgois records, this shift is often a violent one as gender is often constructed through public displays of power, authority and domination."

Abstract
Discusses Eugene Delacroix's "Death of Sardanapolus" (1826) and Pablo Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d-Avignon" (1907). Examines the similarity of their approach as representing something new in artistic terms and the artistic interplay.

From the Paper
"Eugene Delacroix's Death of Sardanapalus (1826) and Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) were painted only eighty years apart and demonstrate the immense changes that had taken place in painting in that span of time. Curiously, however, they ..."

Abstract
In this paper, Gramsci also provides a summary of the history of ideas that often display the problems of history being directed from a self-interested source (via the ruling classes), which can be disseminated through related elite institutions. The media and academic institutions plays a large role in constructing history through a hegemonic construct.

Abstract
"Long-term Goal: The student (John) will display appropriate on-task behaviour during dedicated work periods. Short-term Objective: The student will be able to work independently at an assigned task for a 30 minute period. Daily Objective: The student will read an assigned poem, and write a brief summary. Introduce lesson, and describe the basic elements of poem (e.g., rhyme scheme, sounds, and multiple meanings of words). The student (John) has shown vocabulary knowledge and reading ability significantly below that of his Grade level. Using a poem will therefore be not threatening - due to the limited size of a poem in comparison with a short story or novel - but yet challenging to vocabulary and reading ability given the complexity of poetry. "

Abstract
Animals do not engage in human courtship rituals, asking potential partners for dates and engaging in long, sensitive conversations in an attempt to win over their trust. Instead, animals mate almost mechanically, often at set times of the year known as 'mating seasons,' in which the females enter into a hormonally induced period known as estrus, designed to attract males in order to ensure the birth of a new offspring of litter. The paper shows that such mating rituals would prove rather unsuitable for humans, since the idea of women entering a similar state of estrus is ludicrous, not to mention detrimental to the organization and smooth running of society. Indeed, civilization would become quite vulnerable if all its attentions turned to mating at certain times of the year. The paper shows that to ensure its successful existence, humans have lost this display of estrus, instead resorting to the more familiar mating rituals such as dating and wooing to ensure reproduction through a singularly pleasant means. Furthermore, reproduction among humans can theoretically take place at any time. This paper explores the phenomenon of estrus and why humans have lost this overt phenomenon, so essential to most other species.

From the Paper
"The mechanics of animal reproduction usually distinguish between attractivity, proceptivity, and receptivity. Attractivity is the degree of attractions a female elicits in males, proceptivity is the female's use of signs to elicit a male's interest in reproduction, and receptivity defines how females respond to males' reproductive leads (4). In animals which exhibit estrus, these elements occur almost mechanically when a female enters estrus, or heat. In humans, however, Harris theorizes that human reproduction has evolved into a process-oriented rather than product-oriented system (4). Harris explains that "human courtship is a process that occurs over time and is the result of the behavior of both interactants" (4)."

Abstract
This paper describes and reviews the art exhibits on display at the Whitney Museum. The paper points out that the exhibits tend toward stereotypical portrayals of American society and American citizens and offer very little new insight or point of views about America.

From the Paper
"In summary, "The American Effect" tells us a great deal about how the world sees America as a nation, and how the world views the contemporary American as an individual. Unfortunately, if "The American Effect" is any true judge of the world's view of America, the rest of the globe is a long way from developing any novel and insightful glimpses into either America or Americans. Put simply, "The American Effect" is a bit of a disappointment for anyone hoping to come away with any new insights into the American psyche. The individual displays themselves are sometimes excellent and revealing, but as a whole the collection fell disappointingly short of my expectations."

Abstract
This paper explains that methods and approaches adopted by museums reflect varying responses to the constraints placed upon them. The different restraints are discussed and include financial considerations, the nature of their real estate, their perceived audience, the nature of their collections, the role of scholarship and education in their mission, and the practical necessities of preserving and displaying the material artifacts of their collections.

From the Paper
"While the challenges and logistics are present, the preservation of a historical building and land may prove to be more significant than any treasure that is housed in the building. Older architecture often requires additional structural support to provide a safe environment for visitors. It is often necessary to use restorative methods to enhance security measures, adjusting for the more primitive setting of an older building. Historic preservation of historic places is similar to the preservation work of many museum collections. Many museums and institutions work with the constraints of a historical building for the preservation of the regional history, and the added financial breaks that accompany the restoration of a historical building or monument and the listing of the institution in the National Registry of Historic places. Acknowledging architecture as history is important in our endeavors to preserve our society's rich past. Many museums that are set in historical building utilized the setting to teach living history and interpretation of historical events. This form of interactional display provides engaging events for active public participation."
