From the Paper
"Eating healthy is one of the most important, yet frequently overlooked aspects in life. Research indicates that four of the leading causes of death in the United States are linked to diet, namely cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Taken cumulatively, diet-related health conditions cost society about $250 billion annually in lost productivity and medical costs. In addition, studies have indicated that thirty to forty percent of deaths due to cancer may be prevented if individuals would choose a healthful diet and engage in physical activity. Despite these facts, many individuals either refuse or are unable to engage in proper eating habits as outlined in the food pyramid distributed by the United States Department of Agriculture."

Preliminary Marketing Plan
From the Paper
"McCain intends to enter the Hungary market with a new food product. Hungary is a promising market because of its long history of Western preferences that often led it into direct and indirect conflict with its socialist rulers prior to the fall of the Soviet Union (Kornai). The product, "Gyr s Gourmet" (Quick Gourmet), consists of a series of traditional Hungarian meals that require no formal preparation. That is, they are ready to eat. Quick Gourmet meals fulfil a market need in Hungary for fast food. Although Quick Gourmet is not frozen it competes within the frozen fast preparation food segment. The Quick Gourmet product line is packaged within a Tetra Recart packaging technology which requires no refrigeration, preservatives or other typical fast food type of artificial preservation."

President Versus Parliament, Proportional versus Pluralistic, 2000.
A discussion on how to elect leaders.

Abstract
This paper discusses the two most common debates on how governments should be elected. Eastern Europe has been and continues to go through major, turbulent changes on its way to democracy. It became clear very early on that ?simply? sitting down and thinking of a new way to govern was going to take a very long time. One of the earliest problems that needed to be solved, besides how to govern, was how to elect the new government. The two most common debates, then, were ?President vs. Parliament? and ?Proportional Representation vs. Majoritarian (or Pluralistic) Representation?. This piece explores the merits and pitfalls on each side of both coins.
From the Paper
"Both supporters of a presidential system and supporters of a parliamentary system agree on several elements of the governing systems. First, the more centralized the system, the quicker things get accomplished. It takes a lot more time for a verbal argument to be presented and debated in an assembly than for one man?s synapses to fire in the decision making process. Behind the flagship democratic movement, Solidarity, was a single man, Lech Wal_sa, pushing decisions through. It is argued that this non-democratic form of decision making was necessary to achieve the desired result - that the end justified the means. Regardless, decisions were made quickly in response to the daily problems of mass strikes and city hall demonstrations. As for parliamentary systems, most scholars agree that strong, well-defined political parties are needed (Zielonka, 97). The world of parliamentary decision making is one of compromise and coalition. Without effective parties that reduce the number of shouting voices from hundreds to several, sessions of parliament can easily turn into personal ?slugfests?. Parties are just beginning to truly define themselves in Eastern Europe, emerging from the obsolete umbrellas that united them against a common enemy, and have not had the time to fully develop."

Good versus Evil in the Bible, 2005.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper follows the course of a legendary myth: "The Feud Between Horus and Seth". The writer examines this myth and finds the parallels to Christianity. It points out that even those who do not practice as Christians are well aware of the Bible's teaching of Lucifer, commonly known as the Devil, and God, a perfect example of good versus evil. The paper begins by reliving the myth of Horus and Seth, followed by the Biblical tale of the fall of Lucifer and the casting to Hell. It then looks at the aspects of these stories and explores commonalities that have transcended time and place to depict this constant struggle for one's very soul.
From the Paper
"There is no rebuke that religion has played at the forefront of the Earth's Religions over time. These Religions or belief systems have ranged in iconology and practice but common threads are clear and concise. Most notably is the idea of "Dualism". Merriam Webster defines Dualism as a "doctrine that the universe is under the dominion of two opposing principles one of which is good and the other evil." With this definition we can further elaborate of the meaning of the concept as an intricate balance, here of good vs. evil. This theme may be as widespread as civilizations needed to classify their residents and at the same time teach them the difference between good and evil. Egyptians used Mythology to educate their society on behavior and religion. Myths are based on rivalry or struggle of the Myths characters."

A View of Feminism in "Arabian Nights", 2003.
Analyzes the role of women in Arabian culture as depicted in literature, especially "Arabian Nights".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Historians have always looked to literature for insight into how a culture functioned, what it valued, and how its people lived. Today, when studying the Middle East, many would not only read the Qu?ran, but also "The Arabian Nights", the folklore. The paper shows that when we read "Arabian Nights" we understand a great deal more of how the Arabic people actually lived. Perhaps the most evident discrepancy between the teachings of the Qu?ran and the "Arabian Nights" tales pertains to the view and treatment of Middle Eastern women.
From the Paper
"This method of seclusion is dramatically illustrated in The Arabian Nights where we hear the story of the demon that locked his wife in a chest and carried her about as if she were his private property. Yet ironically the authors of the Arabian Nights convey in this same story that not even this extreme could prevent a willful woman from knowing other men."

Differences Between Italian and American Diets, 2002.
An examination and comparison of diets and eating habits of Americans vs. Italians.

Abstract
This paper presents a description of both Italian and American cuisines and shows what is at the root between those differences and between the people who live on each diet. It defines American food as fast, convenience foods, while Italian meals are slower prepared and more nutritious. The health benefits and risks of each form of diet is discussed.
From the Paper
"There are noticeable differences in the diets of people from different countries, even between those of a similar geographic area. One has only to compare Italian to French cuisine to see that though both share parts of the same landmass, both nations have very differently evolved diets, cooking styles, and kitchen staples. The European attitude toward food, however, is quite unified. Europeans generally enjoy their food for the visceral effects, the beauty and simplicity (or complexity) of the food, and treat it with respect. Americans, on the other hand, have a very different attitude toward food. American culture is based upon speed and convenience. Where once home-cooks prepared complex, multi-course meals for the entire family to savor and enjoy together, now the American household dinner is more often than not divided between the separate eating times of the family members, prepared with a minimum of from-scratch ingredients, and relies heavily upon pre-prepared frozen, canned, and other food items. Because of this, speed and efficiency are the hallmark of the American diet."

The Arabian Horse Breed, 2007.
A discussion on whether the Arabian horse breed is superior to other horse breeds.
1,678 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines whether the fact that Arabian horses have fewer bones means that they are superior horses. The writer proposes that their superiority is subjective. The paper explains how the Arabian has fewer bones, with many horse experts and breeders preferring the Arabian. The paper analyzes whether the fewer-boned horse has advantages over the other horses in the field.
From the Paper
"One of the things that allows the Arabian to be very good at endurance riding is the fact that the hind legs are "remarkably free" in their ability to move and be limber, Edwards explains in the book. The tail of the Arabian is set very high in the croup, and while moving, the tail of the Arabian "is carried arched and well up," a point horse experts notice when discussing the style which the horse shows while running."

A Tale of Love from the ?Arabian Nights?, 2002.
This paper explains the story of Uns-El-Wujood and El-Ward Fi-L-Akm?m, a quintessential romance from Chapter 18 of "Arabian Nights" (anonymous).

Abstract
This paper discusses the story of Uns-El-Wujood and El-Ward Fi-L-Akm?m from "Arabian Nights" (anonymous), a tale of love, separation and reunion. The author believes that desire and longing create immense physical suffering for El-Ward Fi-L-Akm?m and Uns-El-Wujood as if they are not in control of their minds or their bodies once they fall in love and are thwarted from fulfilling their affair. The paper remarks that desire functions in a dual role of poison and cure throughout Chapter 18 of "Arabian Nights".
From the Paper
"As the poison of desire sets into his soul and his body, Uns-El-Wujood describes his affliction in explicitly physical terms. He is obviously depressed, but he feels his depression in his body as well as his mind. First, he cries so much that his eyes become sore. Uns-El-Wujood reiterates his having this symptom throughout the story, as weeping is one of the most constant and consistent side effects of unfulfilled desire. ?When my tears flow, I say, my eye is sore,? (p. 197). As soon as Uns-El-Wujood discovers that his beloved has been wrested from him, his tears flow freely. ?My eyelids are sore from continual weeping,? he moans as he searches for his beloved throughout the desert. Moreover, along the way, he creates even more physical pain and tension in his body by being unable to eat, drink, or sleep. The harshness of the landscape, the long duration of his journey, and his depression cause him to waste away. Desire, by forcing him to follow the trail of El-Ward Fi-L-Akm?m, creates the conditions for starvation and further physical deprivation. This is depression?s secondary action on the physical body. Both Uns-El-Wujood and El-Ward Fi-L-Akm?m translate their mental and emotional pain into acute and authentic physical suffering. ?Often are our bodies afflicted by our passion,? El-Ward Fi-L-Akm?m writes to her lover on the eve of their separation."

From the Paper
"Today, Apple designs, manufactures, and markets personal computers and related software and peripherals, as well as a wide range of personal computing and communicating solutions. From the company's humble beginnings in the garage of one of its founders, Apple has taken on all comers and has emerged a winner in the highly competitive personal computer market because it has not been afraid of innovation and providing many consumers with what they really want: a computer that makes their lives easier and more fun. Because the newest incarnations of the Mac are able to run the Windows office suites, it is reasonable to assume that many former PC loyalists will be thinking twice about their next computer choice."

In addition, two key questions that should guide future investigation are enumerated.
Outline:
Abstract
Purpose of the study
Results of the study
Strengths of the study
Weaknesses of the study
How to use these findings in practice
Two questions for future research
From the Paper
"The strengths of the study lie in the fact that few studies this writer has reviewed have been more comprehensive. To wit, the planned cesarean group comprised 46,766 women; for the planned vaginal delivery group, the figure was 2,292,420. Every bit as importantly, the study is longitudinal in nature. Specifically, the study encompasses a 14-year period - a length of time seemingly sufficient to ensure that curious aberrations or anomalies in particular years did not cause fundamental distortions in the findings of the study. Additionally, to ensure the validity of the data findings, the researchers employed adjusted odds ratio and confidence intervals; as well, the authors used multivariate analysis to control for "confounding variables" such as age, year of delivery, and elderly primigravidity - among other factors."

The Structural Organization of "The Arabian Nights", 2002.
A discussion on the fundemental structure of Sir Richard Francis Burton's "The Arabian Nights".
1,804 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 58.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows how the fundamental structure of "The Arabian Nights" by Sir Richard Francis Burton, consists of frame texts, or stories within stories, with "The Story of King Shahrayar and Shahrazad" as the outermost tale. The stories possess common didactic lessons, or morals, that connect them to one another. The paper examines how the morals are not often initially stated but rather revealed or re-emphasized from one tale to another, and they all possess a common feature that relate them back to the outermost tale?"The Story of King Shahrayar and Shahrazad". The paper shows that the organizing guidelines of the fables in The Arabian Nights are the particular moral, or lesson, they each portray.
From the Paper
"The Tale of the Fisherman and the Demon divulges into The Tale of the Enchanted King. This tale, like The Tale of the King?s Son and the She-Ghoul, displays the consequences of returning good with good. The king saves the enchanted king from spending his life as half man, half stone and gains his companionship as a result. Even more importantly, the tale connect back to the The Story of the Fisherman and the Demon because the fisherman ?was the cause of saving the young man and the city? (66). The moral, therefore, is not only re-emphasized but connected with the previous tales."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the two ancient and classical stories of "Ramayana," attributed to the Hindu sage Valmiki and "1001 Arabian Nights," which is a collection of stories collected over many centuries by various authors, translators and scholars in various countries. The paper specifically compares the characters within the stories and the lessons of morality that they teach.
Table of Contents:
Purity and Deceit in Ramayana
Purity and Deceit in 1001 Arabian Nights
From the Paper
"Eventually there are no more virgins and Scheherazade offers herself as the next bride. In order to keep his daughter alive, Scheherazade's father tells Shahryar a story without telling him the conclusion. In order to hear the end, Shahryar must keep Scheherazade alive. The next, Scheherazade finishes the last tale and begins another, only again to stop short of revealing its conclusion. Thus, the 1001 stories of the book are told. Although each of these stories involve their own tales of morals, purity and deceit, in an effort to teach Scheherazade a lesson, this act of telling stories itself is deceitful in that it is done as a method of tricking Scheherazade. However, this act of deceit, like the act of deceit done by Brahman in creating Rama to defeat evil, this act of deceit is also done for the greater good."
