Abstract
This paper explains that, although most Christians, in the 21st century, are not aware of one of the best Christian writers of the 20th century, Gilbert K.Chesterton, almost every single person has been influenced by him in some way. The author points out that Chesterton's writing was not limited to religious inspiration but also Gandhi cited Chesterton as a source of inspiration in his struggle to free India from Britain. The paper stresses that, in order to understand the particular power of "Heretics", it is important to realize that Chesterton wrote this book because he clearly was alarmed by the then-modern trend that led people to disavow religious affiliations.

From the Paper
"Chesterton goes on to discuss Bernard Shaw. First, Chesterton points out that Shaw's critics, who describe Shaw as similar to a chameleon and able to change at a moment's notice, are wrong, and that Shaw is actually very consistent. According to Chesterton, Shaw's oratory and reasoning power consists in applying a consistent standard to anything and everything that he encounters. However, he also points out that Shaw has failed to see things as they are. This failure to see things as they are is something that Chesterton attributes to Shaw's concept of the Superman."

Abstract
This paper reviews the book "The Resurrection of Father Brown" by G.K. Chesterton and examines how the author presents a variety of characters, each representing a certain social and political faction and its related interests. In particular it shows how he presents two pairs of characters, one North American and one South American, to create a context of comparison and contrast and how through these characters Chesterton creates both the argument against and the defense for the role of the Church in colonial lands. It examines how Chesterton tries to reverse the notion that Catholic missions exploit the innocence and ignorance of native people by suggesting a deeper plot of exploitation perpetrated by the convergence of various conflicting factions.
From the Paper
"The first and most important character we meet in the story, the American newspaper man, Paul Snaith, displays what can in many ways, be considered a typical North American attitude. Beginning with his opinion of the "natives," he displays opinions symbolic of the American outlook. Displaying an infamous indifference towards other peoples and cultures, Snaith, upon encountering the locals, "would probably have described them as natives, though some of them were very proud of their Spanish blood. But he was not one to draw any fine distinction between Spaniards and Red Indians, being rather disposed to dismiss people from the scene when once he had convicted them of being native to it (94)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the morality and ethics behind lies. It bases its discussion on three different sources, which are attached in the appendix. The paper states that although there is nearly universal agreement in human societies that lying is wrong, most people instinctively know that they should not tell lies, but they do not really understand the ethics-based foundation of why lying is wrong. A close examination leads the paper to the conclusion that while lying is ethically and morally wrong in most conceivable cases, there do seem to be conditions and circumstances in which lying is not wrong.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, examining these different ethical perspectives on lying and taking into account various contributing factors indicates that while lying is ethically and morally wrong in most conceivable cases, there do seem to be conditions and circumstances in which lying is not wrong. Some philosophers have argued that it even appears to be the case that in relatively rare circumstances, not lying would be morally and ethically wrong. But these are exceptions to the prevailing ethical and moral standard that lying is wrong."

Abstract
The paper discusses how most people instinctively understand that they should not deceive others, but they would find it difficult to provide an ethics-based explanation as to why lying is wrong. In contrast, the paper looks at how philosophers such as Immanuel Kant have examined the issue of deceit from an ethical perspective, and have formulated ethics-based arguments establishing why lying is wrong, immoral, and unethical.

Abstract
This paper argues that lying in business cannot be justified, even if it is to protect trade secrets. The paper uses two high profile cases as examples: Martha Stewart's case where she was found guilty of insider trading and the Enron scandal which involved the entire financial assets of the company.
From the Paper
"Some executives justifying to protect trade secrets or to maintain a competitive advantage that could affect their ability to remain profitable. There are those, however, who feel that lying calls an individual's-or a company's-integrity into question. If a company is willing to lie about its product, or its plans or in its advertising what else does it lie about? This research examines two recent high-profile instances of company executives caught lying and concludes that lying by company officials cannot be justified."

From the Paper

Abstract
This paper discusses four aspects of the 1927 silent film by Abram Room, "Bed and Sofa." The discussion relates to remarkable aspects of the film, directorial style and pictorial values. Two other films that also portray a love triangle are cited in the review, Andrew Fleming's "Threesome" and Mike Nichols' "Closer."
From the Paper
"There are two remarkable aspects of Abram Room's film 'Bed and Sofa.' The first of these is the film's frank depiction of sexual mores as a young couple and the husband's friend become entangled in a love triangle. For its era, this frank depiction of not only sexual mores but gender roles must have been remarkable to audiences. The other remarkable aspect of 'Bed and Sofa' to me is the way the film dares to suggest that the new reforms ushered in by..."
