"Introduction
During the 1980s, much of American business focused on improving its quality process in order to better compete with the Japanese. Great attention was paid to issues such as just in time inventory, total quality management and quality circles, and the American quality expert Deming was both hailed and vilified in the press for having introduced fundamental quality concepts to the Japanese some years before. David Kearns was CEO of Xerox Corporation during the 1982 to 1990 period, a time when the company whose name is synonymous with photocopiers faced intense competition not only from American competitors such as IBM and Kodak, but also from the Japanese. During the 1980s, the company undertook a rigorous quality program designed to transform the way the company did business. At the beginning of the 1990s, the ..."

Abstract
This paper will argue - through a comparison of these two works of art - that the physical aesthetics of both sculptures can only be understood in terms of the cultural contexts that produced them. Their significance and that of their respective visions of male beauty, thus requires those who approach them to do so with reference to the specific talents and genius of the men who created them.

As the king, Aurelius fought the Saxons to drive them away of Logres. Horsa, one of the leaders of the Saxons, was killed in the battle while Hengist was captured and executed. Aurelius also fought with Octa, the son of Hengist, which led to Octa?s defeat. Aurelius? kingship brought about the re-establishment of Logres. He was soon poisoned by Paschent, Vortigern?s son.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the book "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens. Specifically, it traces the development of the character of David from the beginning to the end of the novel. It describes his character through examples of his actions throughout the novel and shows how he developed and matured within the time frame of the story.
From the Paper
"David's change is certainly for the better, and that is what Dickens attempted to convey throughout the novel. All of David's experiences create the adult he becomes, and he would have been a far different character if he had not experienced every bit of every obstacle thrown in his way. He was strong enough to survive cruelty, and wise enough to recognize those who positively influenced him, and those who negatively influenced him. Sometimes he needed help from those who loved him, but he grew into a good man on his own, and the change from young innocent to kind but wise adult was certainly a transformation for the better. As a young man, David did not question the motives of others, he simply naively accepted them, while as an adult, he understands the need to question, but still maintain hope and a positive attitude. He also can accept the love of others, which allows him in turn to fully love Agnes. He could have become a bitter and broken man if he had allowed himself to wallow in despair during his darkest times. He did not, and because of this, he changes, but he changes for the better and for his own good."

Le Morte d'Arthur, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses the various sources on which Sir Thomas Mallory drew to create the version of the legend of King Arthur that is known today. The writer provides an overview of the historical background for the Arthurian legend and the evidence that exists for a historical Arthur. The writer explains the medieval traditions of courtly love and of chivalry that Mallory incorporated into his book and his legacy of the knightly ideal that was detailed by Chaucer in his "Canterbury Tales," and in the fourteenth-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight."
From the Paper
"The account that did the most to establish Arthur as a prominent historical figure was The History of the Kings of Britain written in 1135 by Geoffrey of Monmouth, a Welsh monk, and the book provides a history of the earliest kings of Britain, some 99 in all, including King Coel, known to us today from the nursery rhyme as Old King Cole. About one-fifth of the book is devoted to Arthur, and Geoffrey provides the first organized version of the story. Many of the elements that would be part of the later tradition were missing, however. Arthur's court is not at Camelot but at a place called Caerlon-on-Usk, or City of Legions. Geoffrey contributed at least three new elements to the existing histories of Arthur--he supplied Arthur with a family tree, told of Arthur's association with Merlin, and described his burial at Avalon."

King Arthur and the Round Table, 2002.

Abstract
The paper shows that if there was an historical King Arthur he would have existed centuries before the era of knighthood, probably sometime in the sixth century. It discusses how the historical reality of Arthur is much in doubt and remains a controversy, though Arthur has his champions who believe the stories of his reign began with a real personage and then were turned into myth and legend by various writers, each treating Arthur differently. The author traces the history of the stories relating to Arthur, and analyzes some of these works such as Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte D'Arthur" and "The History of the Kings of Britain" by Welsh monk Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1135.
From the Paper
" Many of the elements that would be part of the later tradition were missing, however. Arthur's court is not at Camelot but at a place called Caerlon-on-Usk, or City of Legions. Geoffrey contributed at least three new elements to the existing histories of Arthur--he supplied Arthur with a family tree, told of Arthur's association with Merlin, and described his burial at Avalon. Later chroniclers would use Geoffrey's account as a source and would develop more complex stories establishing Arthur as a king in the popular imagination."

Sculptures of David, 2001.
Compares Donatello's bronze "David" & Michelangelo's marble "David." Functions & styles of statues; iconographic choices made by artists.

From the Paper
"Donatello's bronze David (c. 1430) and Michelangelo's marble David (1504) are, nominally, treatments of the same subject. Yet -- considering the fact that both drew on the same iconographic tradition, were made within seventy-five years of each other, were created in Florence and credited with political meanings, and were important landmarks in the influence of classical art on the Renaissance -- it would be difficult to imagine two sculptures that were more different. A comparison of these two works will demonstrate how the sculptors made iconographic choices suited to the functions of their statues and how each man took a different approach to the integration of the antique into his style."

From the Paper
"Western civilization has been entranced by the legend of King Arthur and his knights of the round table for almost a thousand years. Medieval and Victorian people alike were enthralled by the tale of a king and his men who fought for justice and created a golden period of peace and chivalry. An age that was destroyed by the personal betrayal of his wife, his best friend, and his illegitimate son. And yet the legend says he was borne away to Avalon, with the unspoken, but clearly implied promise that one day he would return, hence "the once and future king."
Searching for the truth behind the myth, one finds very few hard facts to tell the story. In searching through reliable records of the time, historians have found scarcely more than the bare bones of a story. By carefully arranging these bones and fleshing them out with what (...)"

The Marriage of Arthur and Helen Huntingdon, 2007.
An analysis of the marriage of Arthur and Helen Huntingdon in Anne Bronte's "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall".
4,199 words (approx. 16.8 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 112.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Anne Bronte's "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" depicts the marriage of Helen and Arthur Huntingdon, and how Arthur's negative lifestyle impacts their marriage. The paper relates that the marriage of Arthur and Helen Huntingdon depicts a lot about how men acted towards marriage in the 1800 Victorian society. The paper also explains that the novel does not follow the cultural norm exactly, but Bronte wrote it that way intentionally in order to shed light on what was happening behind closed doors in relationships.
From the Paper
"During, and even before, their courtship, Helen speaks of Arthur Huntingdon as though he is a magnificent man without any flaws whatsoever. She tells her Aunt Maxwell, "He is a much better man than you think of him" (Bronte 140), determined to prove to others that he is the perfect man for her to marry, despite any thoughts they may have about Mr. Huntingdon. Even though Helen tries to convince others he is a great man for marriage, she somewhat has to convince herself at the same time. In what looks like a criminal interrogation between Helen and her aunt, Helen begins to doubt whether or not Arthur is as good a man as she defends him to be; "Is he a good man?" her aunt asks her, "Yes - in some respects," Helen replies. "Is he a man of principle?" she asks Helen, "Perhaps not, exactly," Helen states (Bronte 140), showing that even Helen does not truly believe herself when she describes how good a man Mr. Huntingdon really is.

Michelangelo?s "David", 2006.
The history of Michelangelo's "David".
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains how the statue of "David" became the symbol of Florentine liberty, and served as an inspiration to every Florentine. The writer explains that Michelangelo's study of human anatomy is evident in the way he created the body of "David". The paper compares Michelangelo's artistic style to other artists of his day. In conclusion, the writer states that the statue of "David" is such a powerful work of art that it could convert a non-believer into a believer by the force of its beauty.
From the Paper
"The beauty of David encompasses not only the superb physical beauty, the lithely strong body and face of a Greek god, but the inner force of a man imbued with supernatural powers that can only be derived from a Supreme Power. It is the inner force the statue of David exudes that captivated the Florentines and inspired them when they so badly needed inspiration. This inner force has made the statue of David a masterpiece for all civilizations, past, present and future. "If Michelangelo would have only created the outward physical beauty that art historians believe embodies that era, the statue of David would still have merit, but this would not have satisfied Michelangelo, who was in pursuit of perfection, as a means to reach his own Creator. Michelangelo worked with energy and passion on David. The statue of David embodies the energy and passion of Michelangelo and also of the man who once ruled the Jews. Michelangelo once said that art was from heaven. If this is so, the statue of David was divinely inspired and as divinely inspired as the boy king of Israel once was."

Abstract
The paper relates that the David Associates is a self-administered and self-managed real estate development company in Florida's lucrative West Palm Beach area. The paper discusses how the intensity of rivalry between competitors in the real estate industry is at an all-time high.

This group has been providing services in the South Florida area for over twenty-five years, a very long time for such a competitive industry sector. The paper explains that the continued success of the David Associates is due to the relationships that they maintain with their clients and customers.
From the Paper
"The David Associates is a self-administered and self-managed real estate development company that develops, redevelops, acquires, manages, operates and owns a diverse portfolio of office, industrial and retail properties in Florida's lucrative West Palm Beach area. Palm Beach County is one of three counties that comprise the South Florida metropolitan area, and it is the third most populous county in the state.

King David of the Old Testament, 2005.
This paper is an extensive discussion of the history, symbolism and controversy surrounding King David of the Old Testament.
3,055 words (approx. 12.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that of all of the famous central characters of the Old Testament, King David is, without a doubt, both one of the most interesting as well as the most relevant with regard to the life of Jesus Christ. The author points out that King David is not free from controversy; many scholars have put forward theories concerning everything from his supposed homosexual tendencies to the possibility that he may not have existed at all. The paper relates that King David is chosen, not to reveal commandments concerning moral or right conduct as in Moses' case nor to "sacrifice" in order to prove his devotion and faith such as Abraham, but to be almost "installed" by God to fulfill the very temporal and practical purpose of ruling the nation of Israel, the chosen people of God, both, within his lifetime and as a function of his descendant, who will be the messiah.
From the Paper
"Although one might imagine that in the face of such goodness and upright behavior, David might regain his senses, perhaps dulled now by power and privilege, and show his repentance by following Uriah's example, he, instead continues in his sin--by now approaching murder for is own selfish gains. Here, after trying once again to sway Uriah by getting him drunk, he notes with dismay that Uriah, even in his drunken state, will not betray his principles, and again sleeps at the king's door. Thus, in frustration (and, perhaps envy), David writes a letter to Joab and sends it with Uriah, himself, ordering Joab to put him in the front lines of battle and thereafter abandon him, "...that he may be smitten (11:15).""

David Orr and Aldo Leopold, 2005.
Compares views on ethics and economics in books by David Orr and Aldo Leopold.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
David Orr and Aldo Leopold have overlapping views about ethics and economics in their books. Throughout David Orr's book, "Ecological Literacy," Orr often refers and agrees with Leopold about an assortment of subjects. David Orr has a sense of respect for Leopold and his views ranging from education to economics. The paper shows that, throughout Aldo Leopold's book, "A Sand County Almanac," Leopold portrays a deep understanding of ecology and the wilderness while taking the reader on a journey of the land. The paper examines how Orr and Leopold have many views on the environment that overlap throughout their books.
From the Paper
"Throughout the second part of Orr's book he discusses the role of education and what it must play in a person's life. Orr (1992) stresses that, "all education is environmental education,"(p.). and quotes Leopold throughout this part of the book numerous times. Orr believes that education must help students get acquainted with deeper causes of crises that lie ahead in their future, such as sustainability. He (1992) discusses the ecological literacy and sustainability and believes that "failure to develop ecological literacy is a sin of omission and of commission," (p., Orr). Orr believes "we" need to know the basics about the earth and how it works before "we" learn about anything else, if this does not happen students will start to believe that ecology is unimportant, unlike history, math, and science. He also feels that students only learn what is sufficient to get through classes, but do not do anything about ecological deterioration."
