Abstract
The writer of this paper studies the issues faced by the modern man in Forester's "Howard's End." The book is set in the early twentieth century with the emergence of modernization and struggles between the classes. The paper analyzes the relationship between these classes, the challenges emerging from modernization and how the characters rise to these challenges.
From the Paper
In his renowned novel Howards End, E. M. Forester paints a compelling portrait of British society in the early twentieth century. Forester takes the reader on a journey through the trials and tribulations among members of the various social strata who compose the preeminent societal structure in this unique time and place. By setting his novel against the backdrop of an emerging industrial empire, the author makes a bold statement concerning the plight of modern man. According to Forester, this contemporary dilemma plaguing humanity is defined by the inability to make meaningful connections not only across distinct boundaries drawn by the existing social hierarchy but also between man and the natural world around him (alienation in the romantic sense). Furthermore, this tale can be interpreted allegorically with Leonard Bast's character representing Forester's model for the common man, Henry Wilcox portraying the self interested industrialist and the Schlagel's (especially Margaret) exemplifying the liberal intellectual 'voice of reason.'

Abstract
This paper describes Ebenezer Howard's role in the advancement of urban planning. The author points out that Howard understood the necessity of asserting control over urban development. The paper further describes Howard's belief that controlling urban development improves city life, enhances productivity, increases efficiency and reduces the socioeconomic and political problems that uncontrolled urbanization produced. The paper relates that Howard believed that the negative aspects of urbanization could be minimized and eventually eliminated through logical urban planning to which he devoted his life.
From the Paper
"In analyzing the advancement of urban planning, it is evident that innovative urban thinkers, like Ebenezer Howard, understood the vital importance of promoting and achieving effective urban development. Throughout the centuries, most cities expanded outward from their central core in a haphazard fashion in response to a variety of short-term economic, social and geographical factors. As this random process unfolded, cities became sprawling urban areas in which the quality of human life steadily declined, economic productivity suffered, and social and political tensions became chronic problems.

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and achievements of Howard Thurman, one of the greatest African-American theologians of world history. The paper discusses the roles that Thurman served in and the works that he produced, as well as his approach to the ministry. The paper concludes that Howard Thurman was one of the most influential individuals in American Christian history.
From the Paper
"Thurman's approach to the ministry is very clear, and he never wavered in his beliefs throughout his life. He argues that the ministry should encourage greater spiritual unity among the Christian community, and to provide greater global unity in order to spread the ministry throughout developing countries. Thurman personally led Christian missions throughout Southeast Asia and Africa in order to spread the word of God to the rest of the world. He believed in the "technique of relaxation" which is to use informal methods to spread the beliefs of God to the world. His theological approach to Christianity is very much a strict emphasis on worship; he believes that in order to articulate a clear approach to ministry one has to understand the spiritual unity that takes place within the world. Racism, segregation and general disharmony all harms his beliefs about the ability of all individuals to rationalize their worship and spread it to everyone. Therefore his emphasis on ministry is to let the general feeling of worship be the center of an individual's life and guide them to see past the racial, ethnic, and cultural divides that influence how we think and cloud our judgment."

Abstract
This paper discusses E.M. Forster's "Howard's End" written in 1910. The paper describes the arguments of class as discussed in "Howard's End." It describes the economic ambitions of the two families presented in the book and how that resulted in their achieving similar economic positions in society. It concludes with the way that the traditional world of the one family merged into the modern world of the other.
From the Paper
"At every turn, Henry Wilcox behaves as is appropriate for his class. These behavioral expectations dictate rigidly-defined gender roles and attitudes. The Basts, being beneath the class boundaries of either Wilcox or Schlegel, are subject to manipulation - or punishment - for their respect for, or abuse of, class principles. Bast has crossed an uncrossable line, and so suffers Henry Wilcox's "career advice." Jacky Wilcox adheres to a more suitable role, and so involves herself in an unmentionable relationship with Wilcox."

Abstract
The author states that "Howard's End" is an Edwardian novel written before the Great War. He continues that the plot is complex but is held together by the country house called Howard's End, a metaphor for England itself. The paper discusses that the characters respected the land but not each other. The paper continues to discuss the concept of wealth and compares this book compared to the writings of the American F. Scott Fitzgerald.
From the Paper
"But it also stands for something larger than simply England, for it represents the ways in which people can be tied to a particular piece of the earth from one generation to the next. The first World War brought to an end many things, and this may have been one of the most significant things that was lost, this sense that our relationship to the land is one of the things that can be counted on to endure from generation to generation. Already we see that sense of connection being loosened in this book, but it still endures."

Abstract
In the world of radio talk shows, there can be no question that shock-jock personality Howard Stern is one of the most controversial show leads in history. This paper discusses the fines levied against the Howard Stern Show by the FCC and outlines the reasons for those fines. Additionally, this paper discusses Stern's long history of battle against censorship in relation to the FCC, and briefly discusses Stern's popularity among certain groups within the United States. The paper shows that while Stern is certainly controversial and disliked by many in religious, political, and women's rights communities, his strong voice acts as a symbol of free speech for many fans.
From the Paper
"Specifically, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Pennsylvania was fined for airing Howard Stern episodes containing explicit sexual material. While the decision was appealed, the appeal was lost. Following the initial complaint, the FCC heard complaints from Americans for Responsible Television, concerned about Stern's sexual content, and the African-American Business Administration, which was concerned over Stern's attitude towards blacks. By 1993, stations had incurred over $1.7 million in fines over Stern's radio show (Foerstel, 1997)."

Abstract
In this analysis of "Howard's End" by E.M Forster, the writer of the paper shows how Forster effectively uses this novel to reflect upon and analyze the social and economic attitudes in England during the first part of the twentieth century. The significance of money as a central theme and the characters are also examined.
From the Paper
"E.M. Forster s novel Howard s End challenges the social class system of the times, causing many critics to take note of his political opinions. Money, its use, its power, and the pursuit of it come to be the central focus of the novel. For the three representative families Bast, Wilcox and Schlegel, money is at the root of their troubles. Their absolvement and peace only comes after they realize their faults when Leonard realizes that money cannot buy him what he truly desires, which is to trust others; when Margaret finally understands that family is more important than any concert or book; when Henry finally sees how selfish it is of him to close his heart off to what he truly feels. Forster uses these individuals to explore his own ideas of the great change in the society in which he is surrounded."

Abstract
This paper explains that misplacement is a common theme in contemporary literature, which is often an antonym to the American dream. Considering the possibility of unfortunate events and adversity that come interchangeably with life, the author states, the suggestion that ideal success can be achieved by an equation is no longer a practical remedy. The paper investigates the usage of various literary elements in which misplacement is illustrated as a universal stage of life in contemporary works by poets Howard Nemerov in his "The Human Condition", Louis Simpson in his "American Classic" and Shirley Geok-lin Lim in her "Riding into California".
From the Paper
"The concept of winter plays a very significant role by symbolically telling the reader with which the persona is not familiar. Winter, in contemporary literature, is used as a metaphorical synonym, to represent death or the end of something, perhaps deterioration, or this case dormant confusion. It can also be considered as an imminent solace, which the passing cars indicate. The people driving these cars, with their typical technology, are enduring this state of confusion, by driving through the heavy snowy roads and leaving the restricted window frame."
