Abstract
This paper discusses Auden's poem ?Musee de Beaux Arts?, which presents the idea that Breughel's work depicted everyday events but in the corner of the painting is a small depiction of human suffering such as the crucifixion of Jesus. The author asks "What can any one man do to make a difference in the face of human tragedy?" and states that Auden's answer would be: Tell the tale, paint the picture, write the poem describing the human suffering to rouse others to consciousness and involvement.
From the Paper
"The first painting, Auden passes,, depicts an example of 'human position" of suffering, a moment of pain, which also is a moment of glory: The birth of Christ. While a woman struggles in labor, the old men, indifferent to her suffering, 'reverently, passionately (await)" (line 6) the product of her labor, and children already born, "who did not specially want it to happen" (lines 7-8) go on with their play, "skating on a pond at the edge of the wood" (lines 8-9)."

From the Paper
"Poets draw upon life experiences and intellectual influences in developing their work, with some such influences being conscious and others unconscious but perceptible. W.H. Auden was a very conscious poet, a theorist as well as a poet, and one who understood the influences shaping his poetry and who made deliberate use of them to convey his themes and emotional impact. An examination of Auden's poetry and his theories of poetry shows that he was influenced by strong intellectual currents of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and that he consciously used the fact and power of ideology as he made use of the developing existentialism of S?ren Kierkegaard and the social and political writings of Marx and other Communist thinkers to convey his particular notions of order.
In a famous lecture on poetry delivered by Auden at Oxford, ... "

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the content and implications of Black Rage, by Grier and Cobbs, with a view toward relating the book to the enterprise of multicultural counseling. The plan of the research will be to set forth the pattern of ideas emerging in the work and the means by which those ideas emerge, and then to integrate professional commentary into the issues in a way that will indicate potential practical interventions on the part of school counselors that will facilitate educational, occupational, and career development for majority and minority student groups.
What must first be understood about Black Rage is that it was written in a pivotal year of American history, 1968. After the rioting that followed the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr., came the loss of spirit in the whole civil rights movement..."

W.H. Auden's "'Musee des Beaux Arts", 2000.
A look at how Auden expresses his theme of human suffering in his poem "Musee des Beaux Arts".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, in writing "Musee des Beaux Arts", Auden, chose to write about the painting because it captures one of his central themes of the suffering and unfeeling attitude in everyday life. By analyzing "Musee des Beaux Arts," we can see how Auden uses imagery, language, and the classical theme of the fall of Icarus not only to communicate his theme, but to discuss Brueghel's painting.
From the Paper
"Auden's use of the Icarus image and of the work of Old Master Brueghel show classical style, but the poetic form of "Musee" is not classical. He uses two unequal stanzas and a varied rhyme pattern that was uncommon in his era. He opens the poem with a reference to the Old Dutch Master painters of the 16th century, of which Bruegel was a member: "About suffering they were never wrong, / The Old Masters: how well they understood / Its human position..."

Abstract
This essay examines Auden's poem, focusing on the ballad like quality of the lines and the images that resemble a fairytale. Part ballad, part nursery rhyme, part lullaby, the shape of the poem soothes and entices the reader, while the content draws one into a world of devastation, death, and betrayal. Auden's fluid mix of styles are mentioned as well as poetry's ability to give pleasure and comfort.
From the Paper
"The poem takes the shape of a ballad. The normal ballad stanza has 4 beats in the first line, 3 in the second, 4 in the third, and 3 in the fourth, and lines 2 and 4 rhyme. Auden uses a variant in which lines one and three have only 3 beats, instead of 4. But like all ballads, this poem sounds like a song (and, in fact, it has been set to music by composer Elizabeth Lutyens"

Abstract
The paper discusses how George H. W. Bush's position as director of the CIA greatly impacted his subsequent foreign policy decisions as President of the United States.

Outline:
Introduction
Hypothesis
George H. W. Bush as CIA Director
George H. W. Bush as President
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Unlike many other presidents who failed to adequately understand and appreciate the vital importance of the intelligence community, George H. W. Bush had the highest regard for its fundamental contributions, prioritized intelligence gathering and analysis, and made his foreign policy decisions in strict accordance with intelligence community data and analysis. His firsthand experience with intelligence issues as Director of the CIA enabled him to serve with great distinction and effectiveness as President of the United States, and empowered him to overcome the challenges imposed by Iraqi aggression in the Middle East and the chaotic collapse of the Soviet Union."

Abstract
This paper examines some of the major events during George H. W. Bush's presidency. The paper analyzes his accomplishments during his presidency and explains that his influence was such that it is at times difficult to remember that he was only a one-term president. In fact, some of the events that took place during his presidency, as well as his response to them, are still having an effect today. The paper concludes that President George Herbert Walker Bush is an intriguing blend of both success and failure. The paper suggests that though his military actions were swift and apparently successful in terms of accomplishing certain set goals, they were not significant in reducing the overall problems in either Panama or Iraq.
Outline:
Major Events
Panama Invasion
The Savings and Loan Bailout Scandal
The Americans with Disabilities Act
The Collapse of the Soviet Union
Persian Gulf War
Success or Failure?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even before Bush's presidency, Manuel Noriega was considered a serious problem. The Reagan administration had attempted to provide Noriega with aid for the Contras, which he then used to send illegal drugs into the United States (Childress 83). In addition, Noriega had already been found to be involved in money laundering for the considerable drug trade that went through Panama. Finally, this dictator was considered guilty of many human rights violations of his country's people. According to Ryan J. Barilleaux and Mark Rozell, George Bush himself expressed the desire to see Noriega removed from his position, in May 1989 and, for the reasons mentioned above, the American public favored his overthrow (28)."

To Age or Not to Age, 2008.
This paper discusses plastic surgery, the media, and the public.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that those in the media and public eye are constantly scrutinized regarding their looks and their age. Women, more so than men, are expected to appear young and vibrant, and many have turned to plastic surgery to achieve this goal. More and more men in the media, however, are also jumping on the surgery bandwagon to compete with their younger male counterparts entering the industry. The writer discusses that this move toward plastic surgery is a wonderful method of turning back the clock on aging as long as it is a voluntary, informed choice, and not done with trepidation as a desperate act to restore youth. The writer argues that having cosmetic plastic surgery should remain a personal choice and whether one decides to alter, improve, or enhance their appearance should not be a reflection, either positively or negatively on their character, as it should not on the individual who decides to forego the procedure. Although those physically attractive people in the media and in society in general often receive preferential treatment and are perceived by others as more sociable and intelligent, it is not perception that is important, but how one feels about themselves on the inside that really counts. The writer concludes that this is what should lead us regarding any decision we should make about the media, plastic surgery, and our lives in general.

"One such example of a female broadcaster who has refused to change her appearance is that of Stephanie Edwards, who had hosted the televised versions of the Rose Parade for many years and was the ongoing spokesperson for Lucky's Supermarkets in their broadcast and print advertisements. Her co-host for the yearly parades was a male game show host and media celebrity, Wink Martindale, who is now the spokesperson for Orbitz, a travel agency. While Stephanie's older co-host, Wink, continued to receive his 5-year contracts, Stephanie was given 1-year contracts instead. Additionally, her contract with Lucky's restricted her to radio spots only. Today, Stephanie Edwards is nowhere to be seen in television media, however, as stated Wink, looking as if he has had some "work" done himself, is successfully doing television commercials for Orbitz."

Abstract
This paper offers a brief biography of these two scientists. It includes a look at their personal history, their education, and their discoveries. George Washington Carver was an African American agriculturist on a plantation in Missouri. Robert Hutchings Goddard, known as the ?Father of Modern Rocketry,? was a physicist from Worcester, who launched the first liquid-propelled rocket.
From the Paper
"George Washington Carver was born and raised on the Moses Carver plantation in Diamond Grove, MO. He was not strong enough to work in the fields, so he did household chores and gardening, giving him early exposure to his future career. By the age of 10, he was known as the ?plant doctor? and had begun to search for a formal education. Carver eventually made his way to Simpson College where he had to study piano and painting because they didn?t offer any science classes. Intent on a science career, he transferred to Iowa Agricultural College (now Iowa State University), where he was the first black student."

Abstract
The paper explains that the purpose of this study is to illustrate how lack of familial communication and self-esteem, compounded by emotional abuse, can lead to generalized anxiety and diminished self- regulatory patterns, associated with anxiety sensitivity disorder. Cognitive behavioral therapy is integrated into the findings of the study and presented as a treatment alternative. The client selected for this study is a 45 year old Caucasian woman with a history of anxiety. The paper explains the anxiety disorder and discusses the use of cognitive behavior therapy to help people with anxiety transform maladaptive thinking patterns into more positive and self promoting behaviors.
Outline:
Introduction
Etiology and Factors Influencing Anxiety Sensitivity
Theoretical Basis for Clinical Treatment
Client History
Case Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The client selected for this study is a 45 year old Caucasian woman with a history of anxiety. The selection is based on the following interest areas (1) the clients perceived inability to take charge or control of her personal situation and subsequently, control of her child (2) the client's history of apparent indirect emotional abuse at the hands of her husband and (3) the client developed anxiety in response to the difficulty she is experiencing in her relationships with her husband and son which ultimately serve to impair her daily living, meeting the criteria for affective disorders including depression and anxiety, but more specifically for anxiety sensitivity and generalized anxiety disorder (Bowman, et al. 1997; Reiss, 1991)."

From the Paper
"The objective of Schuurman et al.'s (2005) study was an examination of the long-term consequences of late-life anxiety disorders and patient's utilization of mental health care services. To address these areas, the researchers interviewed a group of subjects, over the age of 55, that had an anxiety disorder, identified in the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam. The rate of persistence and prognostic factors for persistence of anxiety were established, at a 6-year follow up study. It was discovered that patients with a high incidence of neuroticism were at a greater risk of anxiety persistence, despite efforts to enhance appropriate referral of older adults suffering from anxiety."

Tenuous Connections: Anxiety Disorders and Substance Abuse, 2008.
An examination of the relationship between anxiety disorders & substance abuse and whether substance abuse can be viewed as a product of anxiety disorders.

Abstract
The paper questions whether there is any evidence that increased levels of anxiety result in a higher incidence of substance abuse. People who are very anxious may consume larger quantities of alcohol, smoke more heavily or resort to drugs as a way of self medication in treating an anxiety disorder. The paper relates that the higher the levels of self-reported anxiety,the more difficult it is to complete a treatment program, with the possibility that the person will return to the disorder of abuse on completing the program. The paper continues and discusses subtle affinities of anxiety disorders with that of substance abuse, by indicating that there are minor differences between the amount of abuse by alcoholics who have anxiety disorders, and those that do not. This indicates that anxiety disorders are an independent factor in the study of substance abuse.
From the Paper
"However, trait anxiety levels were positively correlated with negative substance abuse consequences, i.e., relapses even after treatment. Trait anxiety levels were also negatively correlated with the number of days an individual spent in treatment. In other words, the more anxiety problems that an individual experienced, the more likely it was that they would be substance abusers and the longer it would take for that individual to successfully complete the treatment program. Additionally, both state and trait anxiety levels were positively correlated with the level of addiction that the individual expressed, as measured and documented by the researchers (O'Leary et al., 2000). The implication of this finding is obvious: the higher the level of anxiety that an individual experience--in other words, the greater the possibility of an anxiety disorder--the more likely it would be for that individual to have a greater substance abuse problem."

Abstract
This paper examines how anxiety disorders and phobias are some of the most common emotional disorders that people can have and how their commonality, however, does not make them any more pleasant or easy to deal with for those who are suffering from them. It looks at how anxiety disorders can take many different forms, which further complicates the matter, and how there are about as many phobias as there are things to have phobias about. It discusses how A.T. Beck has written an interesting and informative book on anxiety and phobias, taking the cognitive approach to their treatment. This paper examines Beck's book and the issue of anxiety disorders and phobias in general.
From the Paper
"As can be seen, general anxiety disorder is not a pleasant thing. It leaves the sufferer unable to stop worrying for a significant amount of time. Worse, those worries and the physical symptoms associated with them begin to interfere in the person's daily life. Often tranquilizers or other psychotropic drugs are needed to combat this disorder and to bring the person back into a normal frame of mind. Cognitive therapy is very helpful in this area, as well. The cognitive therapist will ask the person a series of probing, Socratic questions, trying to determine the underlying cause of the worrying and the symptoms associated with it. This method of treatment is often very effective, and drugs, if they are needed, can usually be discontinued after successful treatment by a cognitive therapist."

"Not surprisingly, EFT interventions have received a great deal of attention in recent years; in this approach, the clinician moves recursively between three tasks: (a) monitoring and actively fostering a positive alliance, (b) expanding and restructuring key emotional experiences, and (c) structuring enactments that either clarify present patterns of interaction or, step by step, shape new, more positive patterns (Robbins et al., 2003). Generally speaking, EFT therapists continually track and reflect upon the process by which both inner emotional realities and interactions are created. The therapist also validates each partner's realities and habitual responses so that partners feel safe to explore and own these. Internal experience is expanded by evocative questions that develop the outline of such experience into a sharply focused and detailed portrait (Robbins et al., 2003). Emotion may be heightened by images or repetition, or the therapist may go one step beyond how clients construct their experience by adding an element, such as asking if someone is not, as they say, only "uncomfortable" but even a little anxious. The therapist also reframes interactional responses in terms of underlying emotions and attachment needs and fears and choreographs enactments. The therapist follows and leads but is most active in Stage Two, particularly when structuring the change events mentioned previously (Robbins et al., 2003)."

"Education in the twenty first century is no longer the "3 R's". With the explosion of mega technology, virtual reality, and science, education in the twenty first century is being propelled into an arena that is vastly culturally diverse, becoming increasingly global, and bombarded with new innovations. As such, today's educational system must be prepared to meet the needs of those seeking an education from the distant corners of the world. Should today's educators fail to meet these needs of the twenty first century student, then entire economic, scientific, and cultural structure of the world will be immensely jeopardized. "
