Abstract
This essay analyzes two characters in the play, "An Inspector Calls." Through this comparison of the father, Mr. Birling and his daughter, Sheila Birling, the essay explores the process of social responsibility, and the struggle involved in learning how to see oneself in relation to others. Priestley's play is a criticism of Edwardian values, and it questions the role of the individual in society. The two characters considered in this essay are compared as a way to reveal the conflict in this perspective, and dramatizes the ways people affect the lives of others.

Abstract
This is a paper about Archibald MacLeish's "J.B." a post-WWII verse play. The author looks at the play in-depth. MacLeish displays the main character's purity of spirit through his relationships with his children, his wife and his friends. While others around him falter as their world crumbles, J.B. is able to maintain his purity.
From the Paper
"Since the beginning of time, a troubling enigma has plagued mankind. Man has always asked his God why humanity must be stricken with suffering. If God is a fair and righteous God, then why does He punish us for paradoxical reasons? Some have concluded that human suffering is due to unholy sin, while others believe sin to be one small step in God's ultimate plan in one's life. Others determine that God reveals one's true character by testing them. Great philosophers and scholars have debated this distressing issue for centuries. This topic has been fully explored in all areas of life, especially in the written word. Literature's dominant theme is usually about human suffering in some form or another, whether it be the Book of Job in the Old Testament or Dostoyevsky novels or soap operas (Corliss 75). Archibald MacLeish, a noted American poet and playwright, explores human suffering in most of his works. However, his "post-World War II verse play," J.B., fully searches the topic (Adler 128)."

From the Paper
"Glenn, Brown, and O'Leary (1998) conducted an experimental study to find and develop crops which could be irrigated by seawater. As the population of the earth increases, the production of food becomes more and more of a problem in order to feed this growing number of people. One of the specific problems facing agriculturalists is the need for water. Fresh water is needed not only for irrigation but also for other human activities, and there is no process that is effective enough at desalinization to provide the volume of water human beings need. The authors also note that the top five plants eaten by people cannot tolerate salt, and these are wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and soybeans. Since finding enough land and water to produce the foods needed by the world is an urgent problem, the authors ask how the supply of food can be augmented. They answer that one ..."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the life and history of Mark Antony, born Marcus Antonius. The paper discusses how, thanks to the works of famous writers like Plutarch and Shakespeare, Mark Antony has become a legend. The paper further discusses how his actions following Julius Caesar's death in 44 B.C. and his exploits with Queen Cleopatra have made him interesting reading and a source of entertainment for centuries. However, behind the many stories, there was a man who was a brave general, loyal supporter, dedicated Roman and ardent lover.
From the Paper
"While Caesar was fighting in Egypt and Africa to defeat the last of Pompey's forces, Antonius was given the distinction of being made Master of the Horse (fact). His role was to be a politician and administrator in Italy while Caesar was out of the country. Unfortunately for him, Antonius was not good in that role and was removed in 47 B.C. and even banished from Caesar's sight for two years (unrv). Nevertheless, Antonius was able to work his way back into Caesar's circle; in 44 B.C. he was the one to offer the crown to Caesar, a circumstance much celebrated in the first act of Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar (unrv)."

"Paradise Lost": Crafting Characterizations, 2002.
An examination of Milton's "Paradise Lost" and his depiction of characters.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores Milton?s use of flattery and condemnation and the role they play in the downfall of Adam and Eve and their subsequent decision to take responsibility for eating the forbidden fruit in his novel Paradise Lost. It also explores his characterization of Adam and Eve and how rich language and metaphor result in a stunning piece of work.
From the Paper
"Milton's Paradise Lost is studded with characters ranging from the devious Satan through to the humanistic, yet wise Eve. Given such a wide breadth of not only characters, but also location, Milton varies his language depending on cast, setting and poetic intention. This is evident when examining the use of flattery and condemnation both of which play large roles in the downfall of Adam and Eve and in their decision to take responsibility for the eating the forbidden fruit."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the character of J. Alfred Prufrock in T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". The paper depicts Prufrock's fears, insecurities and views in the society he lives in and uses quotes and lines from the poem to support the analysis.
From the Paper
"J. Alfred Prufrock, the main character in the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", by T.S. Eliot, appears to be an unhappy man aware of his weaknesses and riddled with self doubts. Prufrock is portrayed as someone who is in despair and helpless. He feels as if he has never accomplished anything in his life and is painfully aware of his failures: "For I have known them all already, known them all:/ Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,/ I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;/ I know the voices dying with a dying fall/ Beneath the music from a farther room/ So how should I presume?" (Eliot, 1917, Lines 55-60). This awareness of his failures is what puts Prufrock in despair: "But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,/ Though I have seen my head [grown slightly bald] brought in upon a platter,/ I am no prophet-and here's no great matter." (Eliot, 1917, Lines 87-89). He mocks himself for being too weak and too helpless to turn his life around. This very helplessness fills him with panic and despair: "When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,/ Then how should I begin/ To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?/ And how should I presume?" (Eliot, 1917, Lines 64-67). Prufrock, to put it bluntly, is clueless on how to start over and to pick up the pieces. He perceives himself as doomed to his fate: "Till human voices wake us, and we drown." (Eliot, 1917, Line 138), "I do not think they will sing to me." (Eliot, 1917, Line 131)."

Abstract
In this marketing summary of the B-Mobile German expansion project, the company B-Mobile explored the option to expand into the overseas cellular phone market. The writer assesses the German market and its characteristics. It focuses on the key strengths and opportunities for this project along with the key weaknesses and threats. It includes two charts. One summarizes the pertinent demographic information for the German population and the other shows the statistics of Germany?s economic indicators for 2001. After giving recommendations for the future, the writer concludes by suggesting that B-Mobile should seek to enter this market place but concentrate its first efforts on the untapped market of rental cell phones before entering the common market in a few years.
From the Paper
"B-Mobile began manufacturing cellular phones in 1994, operating primarily in the United States. They have experienced better growth rates and outperformed their competition in many areas. The cellular phone market in the United States has experienced exponential growth in the past ten years. However this has led to the formation of many small companies and there are very few new areas for expansion. All of the major metropolitan areas have reached market saturation and the business is expected to remain steady, but the growth rate previously experienced is not sustainable and the prospects for new clients dwindle. In order to continue its previous growth rates B-Mobile is exploring the prospects of expanding into other countries".

Table of Contents:
Chapter 1: Introduction
Statement of the Problem
Purpose of Study
Importance of Study
Chapter 2: Review of Related Literature
Chapter 3: Conclusion
From the Paper
"Given the above, it is clear that people can experience essential nutrient deficiencies even when they are consuming the recommended daily allowances. While it remains vitally important to prevent such vitamin deficiency syndromes, there is a paucity of scientific evidence that additional intake levels that exceed the recommendations set out in Table 3 above of protein or micronutrients in supplement form is able to enhance athletic performance, notwithstanding the claims of manufacturers to the contrary (Chee et al., 2001). These authors caution that these supplements can actually interfere with the metabolism of the vitamin B complexes, thereby making matters worse instead of better. "In fact, isolated amino acid supplements may impair the uptake and utilization of other essential amino acids from diet, and vitamins and minerals (particularly fat soluble vitamins) may be toxic in high doses. The most common deficiency states in elderly persons related to exercise and functional capacity are energy, protein, potassium, magnesium, vitamin B12, and vitamin D" (Chee et al., 2001, p. 194)."

Abstract
An analytical essay which reviews James Kouzes, et al.'s "The Leadership Challenge" - a book which is a very much hands-on approach to leadership, especially in the business world. The paper shows how they have created a model of what a good leader is through extensive and exhaustive interviews with other leaders in the field of business.
From the Paper
"One should speak the truth, treat others with respect, keep your promises, work hard, only make demands upon others that you would be willing to make upon yourself and remember to ask yourself on a regular basis how much something will matter in 20 years. Making a dangerous product that hurts or even kills somebody will matter a great deal 20 years into the future. A small rise in profits will not. And so when one comes to the point of having to choose between different courses, it is useful to think about which pathway will lead one to the future that one personally would feel most comfortable with."

Behaviorism, 2001.
An analysis of J. B. Watson?s theory of Behaviorism which studies the overt, observable, and measurable aspects of human activity hoping to control and predict behavior.
1,260 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains the theory of Behaviorism and explains that by taking thoughts, feelings, and sensations out of consideration, Behaviorists do not provide complete results from their experiments, as all possible explanations have not been explored. The paper also concludes that when results are taken and applied to society, overgeneralizations may take place. The paper provides an example of this overgeneralization by presenting and analyzing the Little Albert study done with R. Rayner in 1920.
From the Paper
"In the twentieth century, a new school of thought emerged. John B. Watson?s Behaviourism is a structured and limiting system of psychology that dismisses subject matter that cannot be tested empirically or operationally. This strictness presented by Watson rejected the conscious mind creating a narrow point of view, which in turn led to the overgeneralization of results."
