Abstract
This paper examines how Carl L. Becker was one of the most eminent American historians of the early 20th century. It looks at how his long and distinguished career and his impressive list of scholarly monographs alone qualify him as an important figure in the development of historical understanding and how his contributions to historical methodology were equally weighty. It shows how Becker was a progressive historian and how his historical analyses tended to focus on how historical process lead to later development and how these later developments could indeed be seen in the earlier historical precedents. He saw history as defined solely by the store of knowledge that we have about a historical event.
From the Paper
"Becker's work was typically presented in book format, and, while in his early work, especially, he presented his work in ways that were meant to be scholarly and academic, his work was to have a much broader popular appeal as well. As a progressive historian, much of Becker's concern was in reevaluating history and in occasionally examining social movements that were not culturally dominant in considering how they also affected history. As a result of his interest in action and untold narrative, Becker has a tendency to bias these elements in his later work. Often, he focuses on how events have continued to be significant today, rather than focusing on their unique historical importance of the time. Similarly, he is often willing to privilege the untold history of a movement that had not received what he considered to be a significant enough amount of historical attention over received historical narratives that were commonly accepted."

Abstract
This paper reviews Jasper Becker's "Hungry Ghosts", a book detailing the Chinese famine that occurred during the Great Leap Forward. The paper considers four main points made by Becker concerning Mao's responsibility for the famine: a reliance on pseudoscience, a faulty industrial policy, fear and intimidation that inhibited truth telling and failure to act once the truth was known. Each of these is considered in turn and Becker's argument regarding each is critiqued.
From the Paper
"In his ground-breaking study, "Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine", British journalist Jasper Becker depicts what is clearly one of the most tragic events in all of human history: the heretofore little known and misunderstood Chinese famine that resulted from Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward from 1958-1962. He outlines the events which led to the massive starvation of an estimated 30 million people as Mao's government pursued an agricultural-industrial revolution based on pseudo-scientific fantasies about manufacturing and production, and backed by state-sponsored violence and intimidation designed to fabricate for official records what was not and could not be realized in actual practice."

Abstract
In the first segment of this paper the techniques and theoretical perceptions used in symbolic/experiential family therapy are outlined. The paper mentions that Virginia Satir and Walter Kemplar are also seen as having had equal, initial importance in the birth of experiential family therapy. However, the paper concentrates mainly on the work of Carl Whitaker and his colleagues, whose style of therapy differs greatly from that of Satir and Kemplar. The second section of this paper paints a picture of how these sessions of symbolic, experiential therapy might appear in order to give the reader a deeper understanding of the applicability of Whitaker's somewhat unconventional methods.

"Anxiety and confusion are increased through use of metaphors, teasing, humor, free association, fantasy, confrontation or silence. The underlying premise being that the way to promote individual growth and family cohesion is to liberate effects and impulses. This is often referred to as "expanding the symptom" and is done to refocus the family members on the problem as within the family, as opposed to one person having the problem.

These moments happen often within the first half of the novel, as the radio reports are a ray of light. "

Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers, 2005.
This papers compares psychologists Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers.

»

Abstract
This paper relates that evaluating and comparing human personality theories requires an examination of the history of psychology and an appraisal of the most prominent theorists. The author points out that Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers have influenced psychology profoundly with distinctly different approaches to therapy. The paper explains that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and Carl Rogers' humanistic therapy each have their strengths and weaknesses, but humanistic psychology seems to have much greater potential than Freudian analysis.
From the Paper
"In evaluating personality theory, it is important to examine the professional history and experiences of the theorists themselves, for these factors inevitably influence the formulation of their theories. We are all products of our own distinctive life experiences, and famous psychologists are no exception. Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers were each influenced consciously and subconsciously by their own unique heredity, their respective professional environments, and a host of other personal, educational, and professional circumstances and events. The respective theories of personality they each constructed reflect all of these influences. Robbins (1999) notes that psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud more than a century ago."

Abstract
The following paper is a review of the background of the company: Carl's Jr. Restaurants, its products, its internal marketing and competition. The branding techniques currently being used and a comparative analysis of CKE and the industry "leader" McDonald's are also discussed.
From the Paper
"The history of Carl's Jr. restaurants is similar to that of McDonalds - an enterprising young man realized the potential in providing consistent food 'fast' to passersby and drive-up customers. Carl Karcher delivered bakery goods to various locations and, noticing how good business was at a hot dog sidewalk stand in L.A., took out a loan on his car to buy it. He and his wife, Margaret, sold hot dogs, chili, tamales and soda for a nickel. Within four years, they were able to expand their operation to four stands, and then moved to Anaheim, California, where they opened their first full-service restaurant, Carl's Drive In Barbecue, adding hamburgers to the menu. In 1956, Carl opened the first two Carl's Jr. restaurants in Anaheim and nearby Brea - he chose the name based on the idea that they were 'junior' versions of his full-service restaurant, utilizing the fast food concept: customers paid at the time they placed their order and received their food quickly. Within a decade, Carl was operating 24 restaurants, with a fast-growing reputation for quality food and great service. The company incorporated in 1966 as Carl Karcher Enterprises, Inc."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic of art in Russia. Specifically it discusses how Peter Carl Faberge's products have served, and been affected by, the idea that the arts in Russia are a political, religious, and philosophical arena for debate in the absence of a free press. The paper examines the effect Faberge has had on the arts in Russia. The paper further examines how Faberge is one of the most famous Russian artists in the world, with his works reflecting the opulence and garishness of the Victorian era, and illustrating the attention to detail and opulent decor that was so popular at the time. The paper concludes that Faberge brought world attention to the Russian art world.
From the Paper
"Faberge was an innovator, and that is another important part of his artistic legacy. He brought art nouveau to Russia and created a myriad of decorative pieces. Some estimate his designs numbered more than 150,000 (Von Hapsburg, 1996, p. 4). In actuality, Faberge never made anything himself. He employed hundreds of artisans and craftspeople who did the design and execution. Faberge's contribution was his shrewd business sense and the materials used, such as precious stones, the carving, and the use of gold and silver in the designs.
Faberge's works represented an opulent and excessive time in world and Russian history. The wealthy were extremely wealthy, and society was becoming more mobile, more open, and more interested in the world around them."

Carl Gustav Jung, 2002.
This paper examines the life and work of psychologist Carl Jung.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper traces the roots of Carl Jung's interest in psychology, from his studies in science to his personal feelings of connecting to something deeper within the human mind through the analysis of dreams. This self-proclaimed inner wisdom helped to define his personality theory. The writer looks into this theory and how Jung applied it to his patients.
From the Paper
"Jung graduated in 1902 with a broad background in biology, zoology, paleontology and archaeology and began his work in "associations" in which a patients response to stimulus words signified what Jung called "complexes" one of his terms that are still in use today. At this time, Jung discovered the works of his mentor, Sigmund Freud. Despite the value Jung saw in Freud's work, he was not able to accept Freud's idea that repression is caused by sexual trauma. Jung published Symbols of Transformation in 1912, which challenged some of Freud's basic ideas and precluded his break with Freud. Jung began developing his theories, using his vast knowledge of mythology and history, his encounters with the diverse cultures of New Mexico, India, and Kenya, and his memories of the dreams and fantasies of his childhood (Fadiman and Frager, p. 56)."

Abstract
Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg are both important poets in their own right. Although they both grew up in the same era, their poetry styles have many differences. The paper firstly states their different origins, history and poetic style. Secondly, it analyzes a selected major work - "The Road Not Taken" and "The Road and The End," - of Frost and Sandburg respectively. It is worth noticing that the chosen poetry of both poets contain many elements of similarity. This makes the chosen sample most suitable to distinguish the most minor, as well as the major differences in the poetic styles of the writers. Thus, in the paper, their lives and poetic styles are compared and contrasted using an example of their poetry.
From the Paper
"Unlike the individualized thinking of Frost, and the reflection of his viewpoints on life, Sandburg carries the spirit of the people in his writings. As was appreciated for being the voice of the Americans, Carl Sandburg emphasizes the voice of the nation in his writings. Unlike giving answers to one's personal questions that arise within, Sandburg responds to the thoughts that live in every person's life and mind. If Robert Frost can be said to be digging into his own experiences in his poetry, Sandburg can be called to be analyzing the experiences of his fellow countrymen, and responding to them with his poems, with him as a countrymen or the unified spirit of the nation, in most of them."

Abstract
In this article the author looks at the events of 9/11 and its aftermath through the eyes of Carl Jung. He examines how Jung would have reacted to the events of 9/11. He points out that Jung believed very strongly in coincidence. But, would he have thought that 9/11 was a coincidence, something hidden in the collective unconsciousness. Maybe the unconscious beliefs of government officials, the CIA and FBI who knew that there was something going to happen, but didn't know when or where or even how. The paper goes on to describe how Jung would have categorized the different reactions of the American people after 9/11 in his terms of introvert and extrovert personalities. The author examines the different archetypes that Jung proposed in terms of 9/11. The paper concludes with the statement that even Jung would have not have been able to explain the "why?" of the terrorist attacks and what they hoped to accomplish.
From the Paper
"Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself. It would be interesting to assume that the thousands who died at the World Trade Center, the Pennsylvania field and at the Pentagon were somehow part of a Jungian dream. But, while we might think of Freud and Jung as seeing psychosis in dreams, Jung was more realistic. "Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem" (Boeree 1)."

Carl Rogers, 2006.
A discussion on Carl Rogers' person-centered therapy.

Abstract
The paper discusses Carl Rogers and person centered therapy. Rogers' theory is that an accurate and positive self-concept is critical for the development of self-growth. The paper examines person-centered therapy, a therapy involving a mirroring of the client's expressed experience back to them with an emphasis on the client's immediate conscious experience, the central aim of this therapy is to free the individual by removing obstacles so that the client can become independent and self-directed through normal growth and development. The paper concludes that this approach to therapy would be especially effective for detox counselors, who work to promote a change in behavior for individuals with substance abuse issues, the core of these problems is an inaccurate self-perception that prevents individuals from clearly seeing their true feelings and motivations. The paper suggests that person-centered therapy may enable these individuals to understand where their addiction issues are stemming from and to discover their potential for personal growth and change.
From the Paper
"Rogers explained that there are three distinctive elements that characterize person centered therapy, including predictability, the discovery of the capacity of the client, and the person centered nature of the relationship between the client and the therapist (Rogers, 1946). With regards to predictability, Rogers (1946) described how there is a predictable chain of events that occurs in person-centered therapy that unfolds when certain conditions are met in the therapeutic environment."

Imagery in Carl Sandburg's Poetry, 2002.
Looks at Carl Sandburg's more famous poems and his effective use of imagery.

Abstract
This paper examines the bluntness in the imagery of Carl Sandburg's poetry. Examples from several of Sandburg's poems are cited to demonstrate this stylistic technique. The paper also analyzes the messages Sandburg wished to convey in his poems through the use of imagery.
From the Paper
"Another excellent example of Sandburg's use of imagery can be found in the poem "Jaws." In this poem, Sandburg provides us with a very unique vision of World War I, as well as voicing his anti-war views. In "Jaws," the poet paints a picture of seven nations with "their hands on the jaws of death" (Van Doren 446, 1) who had a chance to avoid the war, but chose against it. This decision is depicted in a somewhat nonchalant manner: the seven nations spoken of disregard the importance of the decision they are making "while I was listening, you were listening, the whole world was listening" and simply answer "O Hell!" (11) and therefore start the clicking of the jaws of death. The imagery Sandburg invokes in this poem is one that mirrors his anti-war statement, as do many of his other poems, such as "Killers" and "Wars." "Killers" provides us with an image of "sixteen million men" who were chosen because of the "young warm blood in their wrists" and whose blood "runs on the green grass; and a red juice soaks the soil" (Hendrick 104, 6, 11). Again, Sandburg is able to convey a message successfully, no matter how difficult it may be to accept."
