Abstract
This paper discusses Friedrich Nietzsche's "Genealogy of Morals," which the paper suggests is one of the most important works of modern philosophy and that it stands out as a pragmatic attempt to determine the origins of morality and of moral values. The paper analyzes Nietzsche's approach and techniques in presenting his ideas and discusses the central themes of his work.

From the Paper
"Firstly, self denial and by this the ascetic behavior is the expression of the influence of priestly teachings. It is here that he goes back to one of his previous stated ideas that there is no absolute truth, but one which can be interpreted depending on the perspective on the individual. Therefore, in the present essay, in order to support this idea, he analyses the etiological meaning of the word "good" and "bad", which, apparently, depending on different stands, pointed to different concepts. "'Noble' or 'aristocratic' in a social sense is the fundamental idea out of which "good" in the sense of 'spiritually noble,' 'aristocratic,' 'spiritually high-minded,' 'spiritually privileged' necessarily develop--a process which always runs in parallel with that other one which finally transforms 'common', 'vulgar', and 'low' into the concept 'bad." To further make his point, he presents the translated term "bad" from the German language as signifying both the actual state of "not good", but also the notion of "plain", common. "Originally these words designated the plain, common man, but without any suspicious side glance, simply in contrast to the nobility". (Nietzsche I 4) Thus, it is obvious that the different interpretations of the terms led to a subsequent evolution of those considered being "bad"."

Abstract
This paper explains that Nietzsche's work, "The Genealogy of Morals", questions and evaluates the value of moral judgments according to a genealogical method, which in turn investigates the origins and meanings of various moral concepts. The paper further explains that "The Genealogy of Morals" discusses ascetic ideals or asceticism, a force that dominates modern thinking and life, and that Nietzsche views this as the expression of a weak and sick will that is unable to cope with its own struggle against itself.

From the Paper
"The ascetic priest, Nietzsche writes, is the person who modifies the direction of resentment. While every suffering person instinctively look for the cause or agent of his suffering. The ascetic priest seeks living persons on whom he can unload his feelings in order to obtain relief from his mountains of resentment, revenge and similar torments. It his instinct to strike back as a merely reactive and protective measure or reflex .He needs them for emotional release and he must pretend utterly in order to produce it. He passes his guilt and vileness to others, assaults their past and present, look for what is dark and painful in these in indicating what needs to be healed. Finding cause, he blames it on others and thus keeps them forever bound to their guilt and to their need for his control (Nietzsche)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Nietzsche is proposing that the aristocracy should have compassion for those who break the law in a petty manner. The paper explains that since they already subjugate the masses for their own self-interest (and have succeeded thoroughly at this), they should have compassion and some leniency in their justice system. The paper clarifies that in his merciful point of view, if the aristocracy is already secure, they should not impose their laws as severely.

Abstract
This paper analyzes Nietzsche's statements are dissected and explores his underlying meaning. The author points out that philosophical essays usually have a deep moral meaning that the writter is trying to convey through metaphors and shock value speeches. The paper seeks Nietzsche's meaning when he said that conscience is a science.

Abstract
The paper asserts that the articulation of identity through the maternal line is a commonplace of women's literature today. The paper discusses how in the Caribbean context, however, this commonplace assumes radically different orientations as the establishment of identity through a maternal line involves not only issues of female identity and patriarchy, but also broader questions of post-colonial identity, resistance, and the conflation of multiple identities which is characteristic of syncretic Caribbean culture. As this paper argues, when Caribbean women writers conceptualize mothers in their works, they almost invariably draw in linkages to the multiple "motherlands" which are the multicultural heritage of Caribbean women. With reference to Cristina Garcia's "Dreaming in Cuban" and the poetry of Lorna Goodison, in "Guinea Woman: New & Selected Poems", the paper shows how this articulation of identity by Caribbean women writers is extraordinarily complex and often informed by alienation and ambivalence.

Abstract
This paper offers an in-depth study of managerialism, explaining that the term is usually - and inadequately - explained as a meta-narrative in various attempts to legitimize the governance of individuals, societies, their organizations, and even the world. The paper states that an alternative characterization of managerialism is as a form of governmentality which implicates the subject in its own governance, and opines that managerialism in nursing is problematic and should not just be accepted as a positive modality in society and in nursing without investigation of its nature and impact on aspects such as the self, identity and difference. The paper concludes that the discourse of managerialism that employs the metaphor of autonomy is problematic, as state-induced self management then, can be characterized as a discourse bound, neoliberal form of governmental discipline; thus, any belief in the appeal to a new level of freedom for the individual by providing more choices and opportunities within self management as part of a reason of state, is an illusion.

From the Paper
"It is important to note how various ideological factors, which derive for the matrix of reason and rationality, became an integral part of the capitalistic ethos. In the United States and in Europe in the 1870's and 1880's doctrines of Social Darwinism were widely expounded and their ideas of competition and natural selection suggested that entrepreneurs and owners need have little regard for the active welfare of their workers. Nature's laws would ensure the survival of the fittest, and the sensible employer should therefore manage with this natural 'legislation' by retaining the healthiest, strongest workers and not paying much attention to the rest (Perrow, 1979: 60 -61). These precursors of the capitalistic ethos can be seen to demonstrate the rigid logic of rationality and the overarching ideology of the enlightenment and progress, which was to lead to the trajectory of managerial ethics and rationality. These aspects are also reflected in the modern problematics of nursing and identity."

Abstract
This paper examines how Nietzsche ultimately argues that Kantian reason in justifying the categorical imperative is enslaving. It explains that not only is the logic of the categorical imperative enslaving, but also it is ultimately cruel because it restricts the freedom of individuals and holds back the good from prospering. The categorical imperative argues that there is an inherent value to morality and that doing one's moral duty is an imperative.

From the Paper
"Kant further argues that actions can only be called moral if they are undertaken only for their own sake without regard to their ends and without regard to the specific of the situation. One must be willing to will his actions as a universal law in order for them to be considered moral. Nietzsche soundly denies this concept, arguing that morals don't have intrinsic value but derive their meaning from a historical event. Morals are contextual, and, even worse, a degradation and perversion of the natural order. Nietzsche discusses the manner in which morality developed to enslave the stronger among humanity, and how this historical "slave revolt in morality" has served to cruelly enslave man. Nietzsche believes that "bad conscience" has served to enslave humanity and pervades all of culture, rendering it cruel, harmful, and unnatural. In science, Nietzsche momentarily locates the possibility of an antidote to the morality of "good and evil," but due to the significance it places on truth, Nietzsche ultimately dismisses it, too. Only by transcending conventional Judeo-Christian morality can the cruelty of the culture of the categorical imperative ultimately be overcome."

Abstract
This paper discusses how divorce is becoming an unfortunate epidemic and the changes and effects it can have on families. The paper reviews past studies to show how family and peer influences can shape adolescents' self-esteems and their perspectives on relationships with peers. As their views become progressively more distorted as they age, they can bring these perspectives into adult relationships and marriage.

From the Paper
"There are innumerable reasons why a married couple might be forced to go in separate directions, however a devastating and somewhat fascinating result often occurs: divorce tends to run in families. For some children, it is a welcomed relief from the stresses of frequent parental conflict; however for others, divorce seems to be the first misstep in a collapsing family. Regardless, the effects of a dysfunctional family dynamic creates ripples of uncertainty coupled with socializing problems. Yet why are these same children repeating the mistakes of their parents and making their own children suffer through what they once did? There are a number of ways that this can happen: ranging from juvenile delinquency and teen pregnancy, to overall insecurities in their own romantic relationships."

Abstract
This paper is an examination of Nietzsche's "On the Genealogy of Morals" and its relation to the historical context in which it was written. A parallel is drawn between Nietzsche's view of the historical evolution of morality and the development of the moral-political philosophies of the Ancient (Old) Regime and the French Revolution. The Ancient Regime is associated with Nietzsche's idea of "good, bad" morality, while the French Revolution is connected with "good, evil" morality. Some other issues discussed are the idea of the slave revolt and the morality of Napoleon.

From the Paper
"Every civilized society is concerned with its moral fabric: the ethical and behavioral norms that all citizens are expected to obey. Morality, on its surface, appears to be a philosophical issue. Some people speak of a universal morality, beyond time and devolving upon all people equally. In this way, they explain the prevalence of certain moral laws, for instance, the prohibition against murder, in almost every society. Others view morality as a subjective concept, yet still one with philosophical origins. They maintain that many societies possess laws against murder because each group of people has made an independent philosophical evaluation, and determined that the value of life is something they as cohabitants of the same state all uphold. For Friedrich Nietzsche, both of these approaches are fundamentally flawed."

Abstract
This review of Nietzsche's "Genealogy of Morals" focuses primarily upon Nietzsche's views on religion. The paper proposes that his views are in essence paradoxical, due to the similar nature of his own ideas about the future world. The paper goes on to describe how morality came to its current state of being, and the role of religion in its development. The paper concludes that Nietzsche's dislike and disapproval of religion is in a sense paradoxical, due to his own pseudo-messianic desire for a better man.

From the Paper
"Nietzche's project in Genealogy of Morals is effectively a look at the values of modern society, in determining in the process whether or not those values are truly valuable and why we have come to the conclusion that those values actually are valuable. He thinks that his project is necessary because the so-called English psychologists, who are the only people to attempt "to arrive at a history of the origin of morality", are not truly focused on the historical sense of morality. They too often come to the conclusion that people are innately bad and society keeps us in line, which Nietzsche refers to as the shame of the inner world, a deep-down primal aspect of man that must be brought to the surface in order to understand our true nature. Nietzsche thinks that this is the wrong conclusion, and sets out to create his own history of morality. The key aspect of this genealogy is the creation of two distinct types of morality: the master morality and the slave morality."
