Abstract
This essay examines whether the US open door policy toward China was consistent and dependable in dealing with the factions during the Chinese civil war in China during 1940-49. The paper analyzes the background and origins of the "open door" policy which date back to the mid 19th century. The paper examines the "open door" policy in light of American isolationism and as the US became a world power following World War II. This policy of limited involvement with China directed US policy until the Chinese Civil War.

From the Paper
" An important, though undeclared, corollary to the policy, however, was that the United States was not willing to risk war to enforce its open door policy and its main foreign policy interest lay in Europe rather than Asia. This resulted in a number of serious setbacks for the policy, particularly during the Sino-Japanese war as well as the Chinese Civil War in which the Nationalists and the Communists were engaged in a bitter civil war for power in the country. Since the US was unwilling to use force, the most it could do was to use diplomacy to enforce the "open door." Such a lukewarm approach in support of a policy could, at best, be only partially successful and when the 'open door' was pointedly ignored by the Japanese during its seizure of Manchuria in 1931 and the subsequent full-fledged Sino-Japanese war in 1937, the US could do little to prevent its violation."

Abstract
This paper is an examination of the Open Door Policy towards China at the turn of the 20th century and how the principles laid out by Secretary of State Hay to protect commercial and investment rights were gradually expanded over the years above and beyond Hay's initial ideas to culminate eventually in the late 30s in war with Japan. The successors to Hay retained the term Open Door but altered the policy in a variety of ways that sought to protect American commercial interests while countering Japan's aggressive and often violent exploitation of the country.

Abstract
This paper explores the importance of the story "The Girl Next Door" and its significance. The paper looks at the major theme of the story which is social exclusion and shows how everyone was preying on each other to improve their social status.

From the Paper
"In "The Girl Next Door", David Sedaris looks at the life of an unnamed protagonist who is moving out of his apartment. His reasons for moving out of the apartment are directly related to the fact that his neighbours are harassing him mercilessly. The major theme in this story is social exclusion. All of the characters are involved in some form of social exclusion. The two main forms of social exclusion are based on socio-economic status, gender and sexual orientation. In essence the story's point is that marginalized groups in society will prey on each other in order to improve this social status."

Abstract
This paper reviews the short story "The Door in the Wall" by H.G. Wells in which the main character encounters a door in a wall. The writer examines the plot, conflict and theme of the novel as well as giving a summary of the story.

From the Paper
"In The Door in the Wall our hero is Lionel Wallace. His heroism lies in his ongoing fight with his childhood memories and the knowledge that there is an easier way. He perseveres in life even though he feels the tediousness of it. Wallace is a tragic hero. The tragedy is that he gave into the choice when he was too young to understand and now must fight it every second, with its impact making his life more unpleasant.
The story revolves around Wallace s encounter with a green door when he is at the age of five or six. He enters this door and finds an enchanted world. On leaving this world, the memory of it haunts him for the rest of his life. We see Wallace encounter the door again and again, each time not entering it for different reasons."

Abstract
This paper examines the non-fiction novel, "The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy" by Thomas Stanley and William Danko, which describes the real independent American Millionaire and their tactics in growing wealth. This paper illustrates how the book reinforced not only the importance of education and hard work, but the importance of self-employment. The author states that these millionaires value financial security.

From the Paper
"When most Americans think of millionaires, they most likely conjure images of flamboyant characters leading exciting lifestyles. Most people probably believe that the majority of millionaires inherited their money and that few have put in an honest day's work in their lives. Millionaires are imagined shopping at designer stores and would easily be picked out in a crowd. Moreover, most believe that millionaires drive expensive cars and live in posh homes in upscale neighborhoods. Common belief is that millionaires would never shop at WalMart or bargain hunt at the local flea market. This is the stereotype image of the American millionaire. Far from it according to Thomas Stanley and William Danko, authors of "The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy." Their research found that these stereotype images are far from reality."

Abstract
This essay will argue, through a comparison of the above two recordings, that definitions of essential racial identity with respect to music often serve to perpetuate the same stereotypes that the proponents of this theoretical perspective struggle against. In this analysis, it will be argued that The Doors are "more Black" - according to some models of the "essence of Black music" - than Howlin' Wolf in their treatment of this song. A particular focus of comparison will be on how the lyrics of The Doors cover of the song emphasizes the sexual aspects of the song as a "performance" of masculinity, while ignoring the socio-political elements of the original Howlin' Wolf version.

Abstract
The paper provides research that supports the thesis that federal courthouse doors should remain closed to those on death row, to ensure finality is reached on all issues unlikely to succeed in the courthouse. The paper discusses how if criminal offenders have access to adequate counsel during their preliminary hearings, there is no reason to assume they require additional petitions at the federal or the state level.

From the Paper
"In the U.S. the issue of equality before the law has always been one of primary importance. This is evidenced by the fact that all citizens, even those accused of federal crimes warranting death penalty, have an opportunity to appeal with new information (Snyder, 1998). All criminals regardless of their crimes however, are provided equal opportunity and access to counsel and legal advisors, even if court appointed. There are those however, that argue federalism concerns arise under "equal protection rationale" (Snyder, 1998:2211). Under this theory, legal researchers note that forcing state representatives to provide counsel and additional appeals may decrease the federal governments "intrusion on state power" (Snyder, 1998:2211). This suggests death row inmates who have additional counsel at the state level will "have fewer habeas petitions" as those petitioning will have significant time and support to substantiate and pursue any claims they have about their case (Snyder, 1998:2212)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the characterization of the selected protagonist, Torvald Helmer in Ibsen's "A Doll's House" is a good example of "failure of insight" because, even when confronted with his wife's leaving he explains that his honor prevents him from changing. The writer maintains that one has to pity Torvald for his failure to maintain a fair relationship, at the same time Nora cannot be made into a heroine for leaving her children and everything she had, behind to go into an uncertain future.

From the Paper
"There are many critics who claim that the slamming of the door at the end of "A Doll's House" represents the beginning of feminism. It was, they claim, the first expression of an escape from the drudgery of being kept, like a doll, in a sort of marital servitude. Maybe so. But, what of the husband, Torvald, who merely followed the examples of his parents and their parents and so on, in determining the boundaries of a marital relationship and the distinction between men and women. He is a man of integrity, but obviously too settled in his ways for him to contemplate any change that would alter his position in his household. None of the ..."

It shows how the authors give a detailed and in-depth account of American millionaires and how they acquired their wealth. The book provides a straightforward blueprint to improve one's financial circumstances, as well as secrets concerning millionaires in the United States.

From the Paper
"When we think of American millionaires, we immediately think of those we see on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Most of us believe them to be flamboyant characters who buy what they want and lead exciting lifestyles. However, that assumption is very wrong. It seems that the majority of millionaires are actually frugal bargain hunters and live relatively boring lives (Stanley 1998). In The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America s Wealthy, Thomas Stanley and William Danko give a detailed and in-depth account of American millionaires and how they acquired their wealth. The book provides a straightforward blueprint to improve one s financial circumstances, as well as secrets concerning millionaires in the United States (Stanley 1998). The authors summarize their findings from research of the methods millionaires use to acquire their wealth."
