Abstract
This paper is a book report on "The Warren Buffett Way" by Robert G. Hagstrom Jr., in which the author sets out to analyze Warren Buffett's investment strategies. The paper attempts to show why Buffett has been successful and perhaps how others can emulate him to the same end. The paper discusses Buffett's investment strategy from observations of his behavior over a period of ten years.

From the Paper
"Warren Buffett is a financier rather well-known because of his many pronouncements on financial issues and also because of the many companies he has headed or guided in some way. In the book on Buffett by Robert G. Hagstrom Jr., the author says in the subtitle that Buffett is the "World's Greatest Investor," and the author then sets out to analyze Buffett's investment strategies and to show why he has been successful and perhaps how others can emulate him to the same end. Such an effort is ongoing in the investment world in any case as other investors try to follow Buffett's lead and to get ahead of the curve instead of remaining behind it. Hagstrom notes that he knows Buffett but did not consult him during the writing of this book."

Abstract
In the article "On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion" Warren's essential point is that we all simply know that a foetus is not a person, and so should not be ascribed full moral rights. On the other hand, Marquis's point of view is the opposite: he holds that abortion is seriously immoral, indeed that it should be considered in the same category as the sin of killing an innocent adult. Thus, the two hold exactly opposite views.

Topic 1: How might one plausibly defend Warren's conception of personhood against Marquis's charge? In the article "On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion" Warren's essential point is that we all simply know that a foetus is not a person, and so should not be ascribed full moral rights. On the other hand, Marquis's point of view is the opposite: he holds that abortion is seriously immoral, indeed that it should be considered in the same category as the sin of killing an innocent adult. Thus, the two hold exactly opposite views. Warren proceeds by first investigating the common assumption that the

Abstract
This paper reviews one of Warren Wiersbe's books that make up the theological Christian series known as the "Be" series. This paper takes a look at "Be Satisfied," Wiersbe's book that examines Ecclesiastes and the life and lessons of King Solomon. The review takes the form of a chapter by chapter summary, with the reviewer giving comments on the contents of each section. The author concludes that although he found Wiersbe's view of Ecclesiastes to be positive, he feels Wiersbe lost part of the text's message.

From the Paper
"Wiersbe opens his book with the Chapter "Is Life Worth Living", which is the central question that is posed by the Book of Ecclesiastes. The disconcerting nature of this particular Book is that the author, King Solomon, answers in the negative. He considers the different ends and goals that people live for to be completely driven by vanity and frustration. Wiersbe takes this in stride and instead of attempting to go around King Solomon's statements, he directly addresses them for what they are. Wiersbe argues that despite King Solomon, much like everyone else today, looks at life's hardships and sees the worst in what we must do. However, Wiersbe argues that despite these toils, there are so many heavenly fruits rewarded to us for living. The purpose of this chapter is to act as an overview of Ecclesiastes and also to address the central challenge of this book, which is to find the hidden meaning for why we should live within the Book of Ecclesiastes."

Abstract
This paper addresses the tactics used in the Battle of Hastings by Duke William of Normandy and King Harold of Saxony. It discusses the conflict for the crown between William and Harold after King Edward died, due to miscommunication and the fact that Edward did not name his successor. The paper describes the course of the war and emphasizes the effect of William's rule on England after his victory.

From the Paper
"William's defensive wall grew weaker as the battle raged on through the afternoon. He decided to change tactics. He ordered his archers to aim high. When the archers shot their arrows they were able to take out the remaining portion of the defensive wall. Harold was left unprotected when the wall fell. A stray arrow, shot by a Norman soldier, struck Harold in his right eye, and Norman knights cut him down. When the word passed that King Harold was killed the English army fled by horse or on foot. The battle had lasted ten hours. William commanded his troops to burn and destroy everything. He left nothing but a great number of bodies littering the earth. William found Harold's body. It was barely recognizable. After the battle William ordered a monastery built on top of the hill where the battle was fought."

Abstract
This paper reviews George Bernard Shaw's play "Mrs. Warren's Profession" and discusses how Mrs. Warren?s secretive profession lies at the core of the relationship between Mrs. Warren and her daughter, Vivie. The income derived from her profession, running several bordello houses in continental Europe, takes Mrs. Warren physically away from her daughter but has allowed Mrs. Warren to provide Vivie with the lifestyle and education, which only people from the upper class can afford. It analyzes how Vivie's perception of her relationship with her mother may seem brutal, but truthful and how without experiencing the intimacy and love of a mother, the grown-up Vivie -- who is cynical of her relationship to her mother because the latter is a virtual stranger -- eventually sees that their only connection is monetary.

From the Paper
"In her proud and flaunting confession about her pseudo holiday in London to a total stranger (Shaw 38; Act I), Vivie demonstrates her audacity and complete lack of concern that she may be "caught" by her mother. On the other hand, Mrs. Warren is clueless to Vivie's activities and interests. Vivie's description of her holiday in London illustrates she is creating an existence of financial independence and passion for actuarial calculations, which is divorced from Mrs. Warren's ideal conception of her daughter's life. Although Mrs. Warren thinks her daughter is still dependent on her for her affluent lifestyle that includes sightseeing in London, Vivie "[has been] initiated into the business" of Chancery Lane and paid off her expenses. Ironically, Vivie's "secret" project behind her mother's back will become completely dwarfed by her mother's greater life of secrecy."

Summary

From the Paper
"With regard to Erikson's central task of integrity versus despair, it seems that Warren has resolved this conflict throughout his life. Indicators of a positive resolution of this task include "acceptance of worth and uniqueness of one's own life" and "acceptance of death" (Berman, Snyder, Kozier & Erb, 2008, p. 353). Warren seems to accept the fact that his second wife, Mary, has passed away. He may not be happy about it; however, he shows healthy ways of dealing with his loneliness in his relationship with Mary Helen. This is evidenced by him talking about Mary's death being one of the worst things he's experienced as an adult. The reason his life is better now is due to his relationship with Mary Helen and having his children around."

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that Warren Buffett is an acknowledged leader in business and investing. The writer explains that Buffet has worked at Berkshire Hathaway for nearly five decades and led it to great, even astounding, success. The writer notes that his ultimate philosophy that customers should conduct themselves like owners of the company, forms the backbone of his ideology and ultimately his success. The writer notes that Buffett's success has led others to emulate his business model, some of which is described in the book 'The Real Warren Buffett'. The writer concludes that other managers, no matter what industry they serve, would do well to follow Buffett's models and methods.

From the Paper
"Warren Buffett developed his role as a manager in the 1960s, after he had already spent 20 years as a successful stockbroker. Buffett believed to be a successful manager he should treat the business as his own, even if he was not the owner. He knew to do this; the ideas of management would have to change to reach this goal. He also knew he had to choose the right investments that would over the greatest gain and the least risk, just as if he were using his own money to invest. He decided to create a guarantee that assured his shareholders that their money would be returned to them if he could not give them a higher return than they could earn somewhere else. He also knew the people he managed would have to adhere to the same goals."

Abstract
The status of women in Victorian society before World War I differed considerably from that of the decades following enfranchisement. In Victorian society, women were considered inferior to men but in later years, a new liberated woman evolved. This paper shows that in 1893, Bernard Shaw admitted in his play, "Mrs. Warren's Profession", that a new woman was already arriving, one who was determined to make a decent living without angling for a husband. The new woman could do so now because, at last, professional opportunities were becoming available to women. The paper shows how Shaw rethinks the Victorian notion of women by characterizing Vivie Warren in "Mrs. Warren's Profession" as a new, liberated woman who takes advantage of what society has to offer to her independence.

From the Paper
"Vivie's behavior as a new woman greatly unnerves those who expect traditional womanly behavior from her. She expresses herself in a very straightforward and unequivocal way instead of being more subtle and devious, as was expected of Victorian women. After offering Praed a bone-crunching handshake, Vivie tells him he is "just like what I expected," and that she hopes he is disposed to be friends with her. Praed's surprise and delight in Vivie's straightforward manner is apparent in his statement, "You modern young ladies are splendid: perfectly splendid!""

Abstract
It is claimed that the eras of Earl Warren and Warren Burger were marked by a philosophical stance of "judicial activism," meaning that both of these chief justices used their judicial powers to correct social, political, and legal ills through judicial action, as opposed to objective constitutional review. This essay asserts that the collected rulings of these two courts did, in fact, improve the overall state of the country in terms of the rights of our citizens to pursue lives as free from oppressive intolerance as possible. It examines six rulings (three from each court, in chronological order), some of which support this assertion, and a couple that do not (for the sake of balance). Both the rulings themselves and some of the effects of these rulings upon American society are described to reach a conclusion about the overall impact of these courts upon America.

From the Paper
In 1955, the (new) Warren Court decided unanimously to support the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education [349 U.S. 294]. The decision (at least technically) ended the racial segregation in the public schools that was legal under the Jim Crow laws of the South (and deemed constitutional for decades under Plessy v. Ferguson). The decision rested upon the assumption that "separate but equal" systems are inherently unequal because they deny people of color the opportunity to obtain an education with white people (with whom, the argument continued, the future lawyers and doctors would have to work). The merits of the case were decided relatively quickly, in part because during the course of the deliberations, then-Chief Justice Vinson died, leaving Warren to take over as Chief Justice. He wanted the case decided as quickly as possible given the unrest that was increasing in many parts of the country."
