Abstract
The paper looks at what appears to be Dos Passos' over-riding perspective on the America of his time; the paper also delineates the kinds of people Dos Passos seems eager to write about and how he characterizes these people in his work. Finally, the paper ends by outlining the manner in which the text may be described as expressing modernism as it was understood by the writers of Dos Passos' generation. In the final analysis, the text aims to show the wide cross-section of humanity which could be found in American society - with special attention being paid to how some had a great deal while others had scarcely anything at all. The paper also shows how the text is clearly penned from an unapologetically Marxist perspective and captures Dos Passos' cynicism and his pessimism about the prospects of American society ever evolving into something more egalitarian, less rapacious, and more committed to social justice. The paper concludes that Dos Passos' vision of America is that of a land that traps some people in grinding poverty and despair just as readily and just as effectively as any authoritarian regime found anywhere else.

Abstract
This paper briefly discusses procrastination and time management and the behavioral dos and don'ts that should be observed if one wishes to develop efficacious time management capabilities. The paper begins by outlining why time management is important, proceeds from there to look at why professional skills are critical for developing good time management abilities (and why time management can be conceived of as a time management skill itself), and concludes by enumerating some critical dos and don'ts that too many people (especially young people) overlook at their peril.

From the Paper
"In the final analysis, the key to strong time management skills is simply this: a regular routine, breaking difficult work into smaller (manageable) segments, setting daily goals, and reminding oneself of the rewards that come with doing things sooner rather than later."

Abstract
This paper explains that "The Big Money" is really the story of the beginning of corporate and individual greed in America. The author points out that Dos Passos not only uses greed as a motivation for his characters, but also shows how it affected some of the top technologists and businesspeople of the time. The paper relates that Dos Passos's unusual style weaves fiction with current "newsreels" and events of the day, including Henry Ford and William Randolph Hearst.

From the Paper
"Two of the characters in "The Big Money" typify these brash young entrepreneurs, who make wads of money in the stock market, and are the foundation for corporate and personal greed and excess in our country. Charley Anderson is an alcoholic aviation engineer who makes a killing in the stock market. He is quite successful in his business, but miserable in his personal life. "Charley wouldn't eat anything. Bill ate up both their steaks. Charley kept on drinking whiskey out of a bottle he had under the table and beer for chasers. 'But tell me . . . your wife, does she let you have it any time you want it?'" (Dos Passos 310). Margo Dowling is a stock speculator and actress. Both become wildly successful in the stock market, and both begin to live life to excess. All of the characters feel better when they have money, and it seems to give them all some kind of false sense of security, even though it can be taken away at any moment, as the crash of the stock market shows. These people may be rich, but they are morally poor, and the technologies of the day all helped build upon this foundation of greed and need that plagued the wealthy of the day. In the end, neither Margo nor Charley are happy because of their money, and their lives degenerate into meaningless loneliness."

Abstract
This paper scrutinizes Spike Lee's film's title, "Do the Right Thing", interpreting Lee's message as an appeal to look at our community and surroundings and "do the right thing." The paper proposes that Lee's definition of such would be exercising racial and class tolerance, valuing diversity within your community, and refusing to accept such violent injustices when they arise. The paper examines the use of sound, light, time, and space. The paper opines that Lee's film is a harsh look at the state of this country's race relations. Although exaggerated, the paper explains, this film is realistic in the sense that racial violence exists and often gets out of control. The paper concludes that Lee's point is that this violence is so unnecessary and entirely avoidable, yet little is done to intervene or put a stop to it.

From the Paper
"The film's title, "Do the Right Thing", gives a clue about the film's emphasis. This film is a harsh look at the rabid racism that still exists in modern American society and what can happen as a result if these prejudices are not abolished. The title "Do the Right Thing" gives the viewer the sense that Lee's idea of "doing the right thing" would be exercising racial and class tolerance, valuing diversity within your community, and refusing to accept such violent injustices when they arise. The dialogue does offer some expressions of what the film is about, such as when Jade, Mookie's well-dressed and beautiful sister, suggests that Mookie stop wasting time and get back to work because it is the right thing to do. Many neighborhood residents, including Da Mayor, Cee, and Ahmad, reject Buggin' Out's boycott proposal, as Sal has not done anything wrong to them and they enjoys his restaurant. They are doing the right thing by not acting irrationally and harassing a local businessman."

Abstract
This paper consists of two separate and different reaction papers to Rhule's article "Take Care to Do No Harm: Harmful Interventions for Youth Problem Behavior."

From the Paper
"In Dana M Rhule's article 'Take Care to Do No Harm Harmful Interventions for Youth Problem Behavior' she discusses the iatrogenic effects documented because of group interventions for problem youth. She explains that although such interventions are intended to ameliorate problem behaviors such as delinquency aggression and alcohol and drug use it is often the case that they inadvertently increase negative behavior rather than improving it. She cites Lipsey who concluded that approximately ..."

Abstract
This paper is a commentary on Annie L. Houston's essay "Do the Right Thing," arguing that Houston, a social work intern, did the right thing despite the conflict of values inherent in the facility's rules, social work code, personal values and theory.

From the Paper
"Annie L Houston's experience as a beginning graduate social work student intern was fraught with values conflicts and ethical dilemmas. Annie admits that she is a person who follows the rules and the rule at the prison was that prophylactic dams and condoms were contraband and not permitted to be brought into the prison and given to the inmates. On the other hand not providing these products was in essence condemning the inmates to a horrific death by AIDS HIV so ..."

Abstract
This paper is on Korean conventional martial art, "Tae Kwon Do". It explains how Tae Kwon Do, is practiced by more than a half of the population (not accurate) of Korea and Japan is one of the strongest and most effective martial art for self-defense. It also compares martial arts weaknesses with Tae Kwon Do with, and by illustrating at least two other countries' martial arts' weaknesses, it explain why "Tae Kwon Do" is superior than other martial arts and why it is one of the strongest and most effective martial arts today. It also includes how "Tae Kwon Do" is one of the strongest martial art and at the same time, one of the easiest arts to practice.

Abstract
This paper discusses how various authors look at doing business and doing good. Sir James Goldsmith, Senator Wirth, John Rawls and John Locke opinions are discussed. John Locke's Utilitarian theory is examined to determine Locke's view which was against intervening with business interests, since peoples' property must be protected for the sake of liberty.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Spike Lee demonstrates his filmmaking prowess in his 1989 film "Do the Right Thing". It examines how, as with most of Lee's work, race relations are central to the story and how with "Do the Right Thing", Lee presents a bleak view of the nature and future of cross-cultural relationships in urban America. It looks at how the protagonists Mookie and Sal, despite their differences, reveal a remarkably similar worldview as the film progresses,especially in their inability to resolve the racial tension that emerges in the film. Mookie and Sal develop a decent professional relationship, yet both retain lingering feelings of resentment toward the 'other'. It shows how Spike Lee does a remarkable job portraying mutual feelings of 'otherness' in "Do the Right Thing" and how the writer/director/actor shows that racism exists on both sides of the fence.

From the Paper
"One of the main themes and motifs in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing is impasse. Sal's Wall of Fame symbolizes this cross-cultural impasse, just as the Kashmiri boarder represents it on the subcontinent. In Do the Right Thing, both the African-Americans and the Italian-Americans have a valid point: both want to retain their ethnic and cultural identities without succumbing to oppression and pressure. The patrons of Sal's are mostly black; therefore, Buggin' Out feels miffed that Sal would only showcase Italian-Americans on his wall. Yet Sal does not include photos of Asian-Americans either, even though there are Asians in their community. Sal's choice to display Italians on his wall might be borne of a lingering superiority complex, but Buggin? Out chooses to view the act as a sign of hatred and intolerance rather than mere ethnic pride. The conflict between India and Pakistan exhibits similar sentiments. Kashmir, like Sal's pizzeria, becomes the battleground of racial tension. Both Indians and Pakistanis view the property as theirs. Similarly, both the blacks and the Italians view the area as theirs. The characters in Lee's film would do well to practice Manchanda's idea of reconsidering maps and geographic boundaries."
