Abstract
This paper presents a positive review of Gitta Sereney's book about Adolph Hitler's personal architect and close friend, Albert Speer. The paper looks at the quality of the source material Sereny uses for her book, how Sereny is able to get into the psyche of Speer and adeptly depict his character, and what Sereny's objectives were in writing the book.
From the Paper
"Steeped in controversy and tainted by his legacy as Hitler?s personal architect and close friend, Albert Speer is a difficult historical figure to portray and to pinpoint. Gitta Sereny explores the life and the mind of this complex man with brilliant insight, historical awareness, and sensitivity, as she examines the surprising moral conflicts that Speer faced later in his life, especially after the Nuremberg trials. As the only member of Hitler?s inner circle to be spared from the death penalty, Speer had ample time before his death in 1981 to reflect on his role in Nazi atrocities. Although Speer ostensibly never killed a soul, nor did he outwardly perform any act of violence or hatred, he nevertheless supported and loved the man who ordered the brutal deaths of millions of Jews as well as Catholics, gypsies, and homosexuals."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, out of all the Nazi leaders aligned with Adolph Hitler, Albert Speer stands out as one of the greatest mysteries. It attempts to discover how such a refined, well-educated man, from such a good background, ended up as second-in-command to one of the century?s most abusive and tyrannical despots. Through a review of his autobiography, "Inside the Third Reich: Memoirs", it shows how, although he was born to a wealthy family, well-educated, son of a respected architect, and trained as an architect, Speer seems a tremendous misfit when compared to the army private who terrorized the entire Western world for more than decade.
From the Paper
"Speer acknowledged that he quickly came to accept events that most people would have been appalled by. Early in Speer?s new career, Hitler ordered Speer to remodel a building immediately. One official by the name of Papen asked for a few months? time, and Speer reported this back to Hitler. Hitler was enraged, so Speer began one of Papen?s assistants had been executed in his office. Speer, supervising the renovations, saw the blood on the floor, but was strangely unmoved by the sight. This suggests to the reader that it wasn?t really much of a stretch for Speer to accept what many people would have found entirely unacceptable. Nevertheless, the irresistible draw the architectural opportunities had for him clearly were immense."

From the Paper
"Albert Speer opens his memoirs, Inside the Third Reich, with the statement that if Hitler had had any friends, "I would have been his friend. I owe to him the enthusiasm and glory of my youth as well as belated horror and guilt" (Foreword). It is with a mixture of enthusiastic idealism and introspective regret that Speer assesses his life as Hitler's chief architect and armaments minister. Speer was instrumental in building the glory and shame that were the Third Reich, as well as being a surviving spokesman for those who chose death rather than retribution. He himself tells his story after spending twenty years in jail as a result of the Nuremberg trials.
Speer was born into a prosperous home in Mannheim in 1905. His father was a successful architect whose business was thriving in the booming industrial town. He and his siblings attended a distinguished private school. Music, the arts, and mathematics meant a great deal to the young Speer. Later, he would help Hitler attempt to put into architectural reality the ... "

From the Paper
"Because of the anti-semitism he experienced and his dislike of the German military character, Einstein renounced his German citizenship in 1896 and was granted Swiss citizenship in 1901. He attended college in Zurich graduating in 1900 as a teacher of mathematics. In 1905 he earned a doctorate from the University of Zurich. It was also in 1905 that he wrote his revolutionary paper on the special theory of relativity. By 1909 he was recognized as a leading scientific thinker. In 1914 he returned to Germany to take up a prestigious research post. Einstein received the Nobel Prize in 1921 not for his theory of relativity but for his work on the photoelectric effect. He accepted a post at Princeton University and came to the United States in 1932, becoming a citizen in 1940 (Mathematicians/Einstein)."

Abstract
The paper focuses on one of the most popular forms of therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), that developed from Albert Ellis' discovery of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). The paper describes how the development of REBT changed the way therapists counsel and help patients overcome self-limiting behaviors so they may live more self-fulfilling and satisfying lives, no matter their past history.
Outline:
Introduction
Overview of REBT
Albert Ellis - The Pioneer of Paradigms
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Many theorists contributed to the psychology field including Albert Ellis, who, in 1955 was credited with discovering a new type of psychotherapy he called "rational emotive behavior therapy" or REBT. Many consider the discovery of this form of psychotherapy one of the greatest of all time, and many credit Dr. Albert Ellis as being one of the "most influential psychologists of all time" (AEI, 2007). REBT is according to many, the earliest beginning of what psychologists now refer to as "CBT" or cognitive behavioral therapy, which requires an individual review of their beliefs, morals, values and thought processes that direct behavior (Ellis, 2000a)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the now cold case of the Boston Strangler from the 1950s. The author examines the life of Albert DeSalvo, who confessed to the crimes, but was murdered before he could be tried and convicted. The paper attempts to determine whether DeSalvo was in fact the strangler, based on his previous criminal convictions and other personal details.
From the Paper
"Whether his stories of maltreatment are true is questionable, as he tended to be a braggart from childhood. He told of seeing his father knock out all his mother's teeth and then break all her fingers, as well as hitting Albert in the back with a pipe for moving to slowly. He also claimed his father sold him, along with his two sisters to a farmer in Maine for nine dollars, to be used as slave labor. DeSalvo also claimed that his father would bring prostitutes to their home and then strike his mother in front of them. This abuse continued until Frank and Charlotte DeSalvo divorced in 1944 (http://home1.inet.tele.dk/shilsta/killer1.htm)."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and discuss two works by Albert Camus, ?The Stranger,? and two stories from ?Exile and the Kingdom.? The writer gives a brief biography of Camus in order to give the reader a good understanding about how his own background and personality traits influenced the themes found in his writings. Using examples from the stories, the writer makes five different comparisons about sex, family, love, life, emotions and the commission of a crime.
From the Paper
"He reacts the same way with the other characters in the story. There is no love, passion, or caring about them, he interacts with them simply because they are there, and he has nothing better to do. Before he kills the Arab on the beach, he says to himself, ?To go or to stay, amount to the same thing.? That is how he looks at everything around him, with great indifference."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Albert Ellis falls under the school of thought of cognitivists and how Ellis' rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) is a misnomer suggestive of a behaviorist orientation of his therapeutic methods. The paper then examines how, unlike the behavioralists' perspective, Ellis' ideas do not dwell on behaviors per se, but rather on the cognitive processes (i.e. irrational beliefs), which can give rise to these behaviors.
Outline:
School of Thought
Contributions to Personality Psychology
Occurrences During the Individual's Lifetime
Application in the Workplace
From the Paper
"Ellis' pragmatic perspective on therapy may draw heavily from his experiences growing up and working prior to and during the Great Depression. Growing up, Ellis was a sickly child, suffering from a chronic kidney disease that forced him to be more bedridden than physically active. In spite of this, he was also forced to work, along with his siblings in order to help the rest of his family. In spite of these life circumstances, Ellis did not allow them to negatively influence him (Dobkin, 2005). As he grew up, other seemingly frustrating life circumstances such as his short-lived stint as an entrepreneur and prolific, albeit unpublished fiction writer and the Great Depression failed to deter him from pursuing the latter as an equally prolific non-fiction writer, which would eventually lead to his pursuit of counseling as an interest and training under the psychoanalytic school of thought (Boeree, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief biographical account of writer, Albert Camus, and then delves into an analysis of some of his works. Specifically, the paper focuses on three of Camus's novels, "The Stranger", "The Plague", and "The Myth of Sisyphus". The paper explains Camus's philosophical conception concerning the contradiction between man being a rational being but existing in an irrational world, as well as the current of existentialism running throughout the novels.
From the Paper
"Albert Camus was born on the 7th of November 1913 in Algeria from a French father and a Spanish mother. His father died in the First World War (seriously wounded in the battle of the Marne, he died a month later), so that Camus was raised by his mother and never knew his father. Camus spent his childhood in Alger, in his grandmother?s house, where he received his first education. Later on, he passed onto to primary school under the tutorship of Louis German, to whom Camus will bear a strong gratitude his whole life and whom he mentioned in his acceptance speech upon winning the Nobel price in 1957. It was German that first encouraged Albert Camus in his studies and who convinced him to pursue a higher education within the Algiers University. During his time at the university, he founded the Th??tre du Travail in Algiers, where his first play, R?volte dans les Asturies, was put on scene. After earning a degree in philosophy, Camus quickly established himself as one of the most notable writers of the 20th century with novels like The Stranger (1946), The Plague (1948) and The Myth of Sisyphus (1955). Writer and novelist, philosopher, leader of the absurd school of thought, playwright, actor and translator, Camus was one of the most important literary figure of the 20th century. His life came to a tragic end on the 4th of January 1960, when he was killed in a car crash together with his friend and editor, Michel Gallimard. Ironically enough, Camus had intended to return to Paris by train, because of his dislike for cars, and a return rail ticket was found in his pocket."

Albert Einstein, 2005.
This paper discusses the life, times and the theory of relativity of Albert Einstein.

Abstract
This paper examines the confluence of human imagination and scientific inquiry that informed the work of Albert Einstein. The author notes that Einstein's imagination, which made him appear like a distracted, daydreaming and unpromising child and young adult, was vitally important in allowing him to unlock the answers to questions that had dogged scientists for generations. The paper explores the stunning impact of Einstein's Annus Mirabilis.
From the Paper
"Whether he desired it or not, Albert Einstein's name has become irrevocably linked with physics in the Twentieth Century. The reason for this, of course, is Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which, when first conceived early in the Twentieth Century, changed profoundly how man viewed the world and universe around him. This paper takes the opportunity to explore the stunning impact of Einstein's Annus Mirabilis and, much more importantly, emphasize how Einstein's oft-misunderstood creativity - a creativity that was confused with aimlessness by his elementary school educators and university instructors alike - was at the heart of his mathematical genius."

'The Plague' by Albert Camus, 2006.
A review of Albert Camus' great work, 'The Plague'.

Abstract
This paper reviews the novel, 'The Plague' by Albert Camus. According to the paper, the goal of 'The Plague' is to draw the attention of people towards apathy, the general indifference of people towards what was happening in the world at that time. According to the paper, Camus believed that in the face of human suffering, only few people would come forward and help out.
From the Paper
"People are not interested in other people's problems. It is every man for himself to the extent that doctors are not even willing to accept that a epidemic had broken out. They know how vast the implications of such a disease would be and thus refuse to accept that their country was in the grips of a deadly disease that could affect each and every person and family in the same way. Doctors eventually come to terms with the reality and try treating patients only to realize later that an epidemic doesn't affect one person but an entire nation: "That one must fight against the plagues that enslave man: this is the sole conclusion which, according to Albert Camus, is not open to doubt" (Picon 150). The plague unites the people because they finally realize that it is only through helping each other that they could help themselves. No individual action amounts to much as vicims increase in number each day: "The Plague does, beyond any possible discussion, represent the transition from an attitude of solitary revolt to the recognition of a community whose struggles must be shared" (Sprintzen 103). But the futility of individual action makes people sit up and take notice. Something was deadly wrong with the entire town and it was important that something more serious than individual treatment took place. "

Albert Einstein, 2005.
This paper analyzes Albert Einstein as a famous scientist and cultural icon.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Albert Einstein's scientific genius rendered him the most famous scientist of the 20th century but contends that his intense humanism probably resulted in his status as a cultural icon. The paper relates that it is sometimes not realized that Einstein lamented his breakthrough in relativity and the splitting of the atom that permitted the Allies to create the atomic bomb that ended World War II and heralded our nuclear age.
From the Paper
"Much rhetoric has been written on how scientific discoveries reshape a period and sometimes an entire culture. Gerald Holton notes that Einstein's scientific papers on relativity, statistical mechanics and quantum physics in the first two decades of the 20th century, "caused remarkable and sometimes quite unforeseen cultural transformations and resonances" (p. 125). Of course, Albert Einstein is credited with the theory of general relativity to revolutionize the sciences into the 21st century and the new orientation of relativity would strongly affect the social sciences, plus the world of arts and letters."

"The Stranger" by Albert Camus, 2007.
This paper uses the novel "The Stranger" by Albert Camus to examine the different ways that Camus portrays his beliefs concerning twentieth century mankind.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Albert Camus develops his theory of the absurd throughout this existential novel, "The Stranger". The paper explains that the novel is based on Camus' belief that there is no meaning or absolute truth in life. The paper demonstrates how throughout "The Stranger," the main character, Meursault, is clearly an unapologetic individual, who is uncaring and moved only through sensory experiences. The paper shows how this is used to reinforce Camus' message that there are only relative truths in life. The paper highlights Camus' belief that what we do, say and believe are only important to us and to those that they affect, but they are otherwise insignificant.
From the Paper
"Absolute truth, according to Albert Camus, does not exist, and it is this theme, along with the absurdity of human existence, that he is attempting to portray throughout "The Stranger." Through the alienated character of Meursault, who is shallow, almost inhuman, and an unrecognizable member of the human race, Camus shows us that our actions do not matter when viewed through the eyes of an eternal universe. What we do, say, and believe, are only important to us, and, perhaps, to those that they affect, but they are not significant, and neither are they Truth. Camus' basic point within this is that the only things that are real are physical experiences.
