Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the geomorphology of the Bonnechere caves in Eastern Ontario. Particularly, the paper examines the landscape features of the Bonnechere Caves and looks at what that appears to tell us about the forces acting upon the caves, the Bonnechere River and upon the Ottawa-Bonnechere corridor more commonly known as the Ottawa-Bonnechere graben. The writer then enters into a more detailed discussion of the formation of the caves themselves and how they have evolved over time. In the final analysis, the writer maintains that the Bonnechere Caves need to be situated within their proper geo-morphological context; that is to say, they must be understood as being - however notable - simply a simulacrum of enormously powerful tectonic and climactic shifts that re-formed the topography of Eastern Ontario long before the first humans arrived in the area.
From the Paper
"Continuing onward, the landscape of the region also offers a peek at the isolation and undisturbed existence of the area for many millennia. To wit, given the geographic distance of the Bonnechere Caves, even today, from large metropolitan areas, it may be inferred that the landscape of the region was daunting and thus rarely penetrated by human beings; more than that, the boreal woodlands of the area were of such a nature that sedentary communities would have been largely impossible prior to the nineteenth century. Seen in that light, the pristine condition of the Bonnechere Caves until well into the nineteenth century is a tribute to the ability of natural geography to protect vulnerable ecologies and subterranean worlds from the depredation of humans."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The first component of spiritual formation is to know and love God. If we do not know someone intimately, we cannot love that person. It is the same with our relationship to God. Unless we know God intimately and personally, we only love an image or concept that we have of God and not God Himself. Often this perception or concept of God is based on our concept of our earthly father and our relationship with him. The only way we can come to know God by reading His Word, by building a relationship with His Son, appreciating His creation, using quiet time in prayer and meditation, and by listening to Him through silence, dreams, and visions."

From the Paper
"To help regulate my thought landscape, I will continue to concentrate on Jesus. I can do this by using Willard's Vision-Intention-Means (VIM) structure (Willard, 2002). First, I will constantly work on maintaining my personal vision of the Servant-Leader that I would like to be in Christ. Next, I will mediate and pray to ask God's help in giving me the strength to act on my intention of being a Christ-like Servant-Leader. Finally, I will carry out my plan for reaching my vision. Studying, learning, and applying my knowledge in real-world application will be my means for development as a Servant-Leader."

Formation of Stars, 2002.
An analysis of the processes involved in the formation of stars.
1,541 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»

Abstract
This paper explains that by viewing the gas that surrounds stars as a dynamic atmosphere, undergoing cycles of materials similar to those that go on in the Earth's own protective gases, astronomers are understanding more and more about the processes involved in the formation of stars. The paper deals with the questions of how the supernova of massive stars affect the formation of stars in the future, why star formation seems to occur in relative bursts, and how long the Milky Way will continue to produce stars.
From the Paper
"Beyond applying the atmospheric model to intergalactic gas, astronomers have also been studying more carefully exactly what components make up the gas and at what temperature these components exist. About 90% of the constituents of intergalactic atmosphere are various forms of hydrogen, with close to 10% being helium, and everything else, from lithium to uranium -- the whole spectrum of the periodic chart -- making up less than 0.1%. The majority of the hydrogen is present as neutral hydrogen, termed H I by astronomers. This form of hydrogen gas is identified by the spectral frequency of the light that it emits, namely 1,420 megahertz. Although scattered throughout the galaxy, the majority of H I is located around the galactic midplane, and forms a gaseous disk about 300 parsecs thick (Reynolds, 2002, p. 40)."

Abstract
This paper crosses disciplines of psychology and sociology/anthropology. It uses Erik Erikson's famous "Theory of Identity Formation" to try and make sense of Amish culture. It examines social and psychological aspects of Amish life from birth to death. It finds that Erikson's theory works well and is substantiated by Amish life-especially Amish adolescence.
From the Paper
"With this paper I am concerned with observing Old Order Amish Society (primarily in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania) through an Eriksonian framework of identity formation. His epigenetic cycle, the Eight Stages of Man, will be played out using Amish social customs and practices extracted from numerous literary sources, though most predominantly from John Hostetler's Amish Society. Of particular interest, and most emphasized, is the fifth epigenetic stage-the identity crisis. To expedite a resolution during this adolescent phase, Erikson prescribes a psychological "moratorium" which corresponds directly to the seemingly peculiar Amish practice of relaxing behavioral standards of teenagers. In order not to misrepresent individual identity as collective identity writ small, the notion of Amish personhood is later invoked, although is more briefly discussed. The successful resolution of an adolescent's identity crisis seems to coincide with the decision to enter the church, which, marked by the baptism ceremony, signifies attainment of full personhood. Despite that Erikson's notion of identity is predicated upon a fairly determinant and universalistic psychobiological trajectory, and therefore of limited utility for comparative studies, it is believed useful here as an analytic tool for understanding Amish development given their strong cultural identity and social dictates of personal behavior."

Formation of the Working Class, 2006.
Explains why the formation of the working class represented a pivotal change in the development of the industrial revolution.

Abstract
This paper explains that the industrial revolution could not have grown and flourished without the formation of the working class. The paper points out that the working class facilitated the mass production of goods that was so vital to the industrial revolution and that it was exactly the deplorable working and living conditions of this labor class that allowed factory owners and investors to reinvest in their businesses and further the advance of industry.
From the Paper
"While artisan guilds and small cottage industries had been in existence since the Middle Ages, the need for industrial workers was a different issue. The number of workers needed to create the volume of production the expansion and forward development the industrial revolution needed required the restructuring of society. In the early years of the industrial revolution, the industrial units were similar to expanded family units. Extended family members worked together much as they had in the home to create a particular product. Sometimes this unit also included the family of two or three business partners as well. The salaries were kept to a minimum in order for the profits to be reinvested in the expansion of the business. As these businesses grew, the industrial unit became similar to a colonial settlement with supporting industries in close proximity. Also as these businesses grew the expansion brought a need for additional workers. In order to attract workers, businesses also had to include work opportunities for spouses and even children. Without attracting more workers, there would have been no available labor force to expand production."

From the Paper
"This research examines the development and formation of values by individuals. Additionally, consideration is given in this research to the implications of individual value development and formation for educational leadership.
The concept of value has several distinct meanings. To many, a value seems to be synonymous with attitude; an attitude being a predisposition to act in a certain way. An attitude is a mental and neural state of readiness, organized through the process of experience, exerting a directive or dynamic influence upon an individual's response to all objects and situations with which he or she is related. Perhaps more basic than an attitude, ... "

Gender and Identity Formation, 2006.
This paper studies gender and identity formation in Robinson's "Housekeeping" and Baldwin's "Blues for Mister Charlie".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that both the novel "Housekeeping" by Marilynn Robinson and the play "Blues for Mister Charlie" by James Baldwin deal with coming of age identity, conflicts amongst marginalized peoples and long-simmering community conflicts that come to a boil after the homecoming of one of the protagonists. The writer describes how Robinson's text is framed around the coming of age of young women growing up in rural Idaho in the mid-1900s. The girls experience a crisis of feminine identity after they are deprived of their mother, who commits suicide at the beginning of the book. The writer also looks at "Blues for Mister Charlie", that deals with the Black experience of isolation in America. The play centers on the difficulty of young Black people, men and women, who must force their lives and souls to conform to the norms of the White 'Mister Charlie.'
From the Paper
"For Black women, however, Baldwin has slightly less concern in terms of how the norms of their identities are formulated, even though women have a powerful stage presence over the course of the play. Thus Baldwin tends to reduce the importance of the Black female experience of marginalization in America for the Black community as a whole. It is how Black men formulate their new identities within oppressive structures that the author claims as his play's main concern. Continually, "Blues for Mister Charlie" stresses the commonality of all Black oppression and the investiture Black men and women have in creating a positive Black masculine ideal.
The play was written in response to the Emmett Till lynching of real life, a lynching spawned by a Northern Black youngster whistling at a White Southern women. Finding a way to create Black male sexuality in a way that is empowering, and will not bring the wrath of society down upon its head is Baldwin's concern."

Abstract
This paper looks at the various characters and how the characteristics of each are evident in others as well. All of the characters show similar psychological effects as a result of the society in which they live. The paper explains each one's role and the story overall.
Contents
Introduction
Lafcadio
Protos
Amedee
Anthime
Julius
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Les Caves du Vatican" by Andre Gide concerns a variety of characters, and the issue of freedom as exemplified by the main character, Lafcadio. Lafcadio is the main representative of freedom, while the other major characters represent varying degrees of neuroses and bondage imposed by the society in which they live. To demonstrate this, Gide as it were binds each major character to another by providing them with traits at the opposite side of each scale. He does this with the exception of Lafcadio, who being free from convention and all other forms of bondage, is not bound by the author either. Protos, the clever charlatan is then paired with the naive and victimized Amedee, while the practically scientific Anthime is paired with Julius, the fanatically religious but also hypocritical novelist."

Abstract
This paper explains that, because of the nature of the area and its position on the globe, the Middle East has always been a place of contention and conflict. The paper looks at modern Middle Eastern history and explores the role of the French and British in the development of the Middle East as we know it today.
From the Paper
"The Ottoman Empire was the ruling party of the Middle East as early as the 15th Century. However, they increasingly became financially dependent on the European Powers. This opened the door for the British, French and other world powers to overtake the Middle East. Britain and France's main threat for its assets in the Middle East was Russia. The Ottoman rulers looked to Germany for help from these powers but found themselves just as dependent on them not only for monetary help but also military dependence. Germany's entry created the German Empire in 1871 and replaced Russia as Britain's threat to its assets in the Middle East. (Fromkin)"

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is based on the article "Great Migration and the Consolidation of the Ghetto". The author points out that this article reflects urban design and geographic thought. The paper argues that the great migration that was an economic pull factor interacted with various social and political factors to create ghettos in Cleveland.
From the Paper
""The Great Migration and the Consolidation of the Ghetto" examines how one significant socio-economic development can result in the creation of another socio-economic development. In this case this chapter demonstrates how the great migration of black people into Cleveland eventually resulted in the creation of a black ghetto. The thesis of the author appears to be that although the great migration was the result of economic factors, the creation of the black ghetto was the result of social factors. According to the chapter's author, The responses of both the Negro and white communities to this problem helped shape and delimit the lives of northern Negroes for decades afterward (157)."
