Abstract
This paper looks at Kinsey's statement regarding sexuality and gender from a social psychological perspective. In the paper, the author addresses such questions as "What role does sexuality (and gender) play in society?", "How are these categories constructed?", "How are they maintained?", and "What do these categories reveal about important configurations of power in American society?"
From the Paper
"The fortification of gender roles and restrictions through societal constructs is shown in Woodhouse's discussion of transvestites or cross-dressers. Cross-dressing heterosexual men (dressing in women's clothing) pose a danger to conventional society that presents male and female gender categories as unassailable grouping that have no room for pliability. "On a social and cultural level the two groups (male and female) are equally restricted ..." (Woodhouse, p. 117)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece of suspense, the film "Psycho." The reviewer describes the innovations, taboos and transgressions that Hitchcock explored in this film. Additionally, the paper discusses the emotional states of fear and horror that the film inspired, and how Hitchcock enticed his audience by giving them just enough information to lure them into the world of the protagonist, Norman. The paper also discusses how Hitchcock promoted his film prior to its release. The reviewer concludes that in "Psycho," Alfred Hitchcock lured his audience into the forbidden, made them uncomfortable but at the same time made them enjoy the brief experience of unspoken transgressions as seen in the film.
From the Paper
" When Norman purposely gives Marion the key to room number 1 so he can watch her through a peephole in the office, Hitchcock is enticing the audience with another transgression, voyeurism. The audience is forced into this secret world, forced to participate in Norman's forbidden thrill as he watches her undress. Such scenes resulted in much criticism. For example, a letter to the New York Times claimed that Psycho was "deliberately calculated to stimulate the jaded appetites of the middle-aged and arouse the worst latent instincts of teen-agers," suggesting that the transgressions depicted might be contagious (Hendershot).

Abstract
This paper begins with a brief examination of the life and accomplishments of Alfred North Whitehead. The paper then goes on to describe the three elements, according to Whitehead, that play a vital role in the intellectual and ethical evolution of humanity. The paper also defines Whitehead's theory of noble discontent and its three internal related aspects. Each of Whitehead's three essential elements to humanity's evolution are then discussed and analyzed in detail.
From the Paper
"According to the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead there are three terms that play a vital role in the intellectual and ethical evolution of humanity. Whitehead argues that without these three elements the evolutionary process would not occur. The term "noble discontent" from Alfred North Whitehead's readings Adventure of Ideas is structured by, beauty, intelligence and duty. This paper will argue that Whitehead's notion of "noble discontent" is a key ingredient in the intellectual and ethical development of human society since it has driven man to a higher rational thinker."

Abstract
This essay is about the poem "In Memoriam" by Alfred Tennyson. It explores the themes Grief, Reflection and Doubt as soon by the writer. It makes continual references to the poem and discusses the various techniques the poet uses in the process. It concludes that the poem is not a memorial to the poets friend, Arthur Henry Hallam but rather a mirror for readers to look at their own notions of life.
From the Paper
"Alfred Tennyson's In Memoriam is a vast poem of one-hundred-and-thirty-one sections of different lengths that include a prologue and epilogue. In Memoriam is inspired by the grief Tennyson felt at the death of his friend, Arthur Henry Hallam. The poem portrays several intellectual issues of the Victorian Age such as the meaning of life and death and becoming resigned or accustomed to the sense of loss. The verses, in general, show the development of the poet's acceptance and understanding of his friend's death. This paper will explore three notions that can be found in the poem which are grief, reflection and doubt."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed analysis of film techniques used in the scene, "Looking for Arbogast" in the Alfred Hitchcock film, "Psycho".
From the Paper
"In the scene "Looking for Arbogast", Hitchcock capitalizes on the shock value of the previous scene, "Death and the Detective", where we see Mother murder Arbogast. In this scene we see Lila, played by Vera Miles, and Sam Loomis, played by John Gavin. The lighting in the hardware store is very dim, creating many shadow effects. We see Lila back lit twice, which is reminiscent of the first time we see Mother, providing a nice contrast between the..."

Abstract
This brief one page paper discusses two significant contributions of Alfred Adler and states why they were important.
From the Paper

These included recognizing the importance of birth order in personality formation, the impact of both neglect and pampering on the development of a child, the presence of a 'self-perfecting drive' within humans, the idea of treating the whole person and his notions about inferiority and superiority. (Mosak) Two of the most significant of these contributions were his formulations about birth order and his idea of inferiority..."

Abstract
Alfred Adler developed a theory of personality that describes how social interaction, birth order, life style, and family influences combine to form the personality of a person. Besides these things he also used the terms "finalism," which describes a goal or ambition that drives a person, and "superiority," which is a persons drive to be perfect. Different studies will are used to verify and expand his original work.
From the Paper
"Alfred Adler, born in 1870, was the second of six children. He had a self-described "bad" childhood. He dealt with illnesses and accidents and he witnessed one of his bothers die (Engler, 1995). His father thought that Adler would amount to a lot. He later went to school where he was only a mediocre student. After coming close to quitting school, he turned his academic career around and became an outstanding student. He then went to medical school and became a neurologist (Engler, 1995)."
