Abstract
The paper delves into the two distinct branches of feminism, socialist and liberal, that developed in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.

The paper discusses the issues of women voting, divorce and education. The paper concludes that the Catholic Church has exerted great influence over the educational and divorce laws, regulations and social mores in the countries of Chile and Argentina and that this influence has been one of an ongoing nature since the decade of the 1950s, even until the present day.

From the Paper
"Fifty-one percent of the population of Chile is comprised of women yet women only account for thirty-seven percent of the total labor force of the country. Female workers presently earn on 65% of their male counterparts for performing the same jobs however "women and men are equal under Chilean law and the state is obliged to provide both sexes equal employment opportunities. Women possess a great deal of influence and are very active in almost all fields of Chilean society." (Ibid) Even so men have a status that is higher than that of women in the country."

Abstract
This essay examines the sequence of events that led the Catholic Church and its clergy from being a privileged and influential class prior to the French Revolution to playing a relatively minor role in the life of the nation after the Revolution.
From the Paper
"The most audacious and bold attacks on the Church, however, came in the formation of two new religions during this period. In late 1793, in Paris and other large cities, a new religion was founded. The worship of ?gods given by nature? and requiring no priests was proclaimed."

Abstract
This paper argues that President John F. Kennedy was the most influential person of the 20th century because he signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963 which prohibited nuclear weapons tests or any other nuclear explosion in the atmosphere, in outer space, and under water - making the world safer for everyone.
From the Paper
"In a portion of the speech, Kennedy cited the achievements of the Russian people in science and space, in economic and industrial growth, in culture and in acts of courage. He pointed out that no nation in the history of battle suffered more than the Soviet Union suffered during the course of W.W. II, and noted that at least 20 million lives were lost in that war."

From the Paper
"Elmer Towns, in Getting a Church Started, and Frank Tillapaugh, in Unleashing the Church, present their ideas for starting and expanding a church. Towns is concerned with the initial planting of the church and his book gives a step by step plan to begin a new church. Tillapaugh took an established church and expanded it until it scarcely resembled the church with which he had begun. Tillapaugh does not talk about planting churches except in response to Bear Valley Baptist Churches' need to split in order to remain in their present facilities.
Both men agree that the purpose of the church is given in the Great Commission, which is repeated in several places in the Bible. Tillapaugh interprets Acts 1:8 as a commission to serve and meet the needs in your home congregation's area first then consider going out in the mission field or planting another ..."

Abstract
This paper examines the theme of moral growth and compassion in Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The paper also deals with human behaviour and moral issues in the book, especially involving racism and slavery. Huck, the central character, is a young, adventurous boy who is not only running away from his drunk, abusive father, but also the structured rules and laws of society and religion that surround him. Jim, another central character in the novel, is a black slave running away from his owners, Widow Douglas and Miss Watson, hoping to find freedom not only for himself, but for his family as well. The paper takes a particular look at the encounter between Huck and Jim, who decide to join forces and keep each other company on their individual journeys. The paper asserts that Jim quickly takes on the role as Huck's surrogate father. It concludes that, although Huck grew up without a strong father figure in his life, the influential relationship with Jim and their journey together allows him to change his perspective on life and develop into a strong, moral human being.
From the Paper
"Even though Huck does not do what society expects of him, the burden of his choice no longer weighs heavily on him and results in a sense of ease and peace. Huck says, "what's the use you learning to do right, when it's troublesome to do right and ain't no trouble to do wrong, and the wages is just the same?...I reckoned I wouldn't bother no more about it, but after this always do whichever come handiest at the time" (1308). Huck is willing to go to hell, for his decision to protect Jim. They both feel at home on the raft together and enjoy each other's company. Huck states, "other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft" (1324). As time passes and their journey towards freedom continues, he realizes that Jim is a good man who is not only devoted to Huck, but his family as well. Jim's goal is to be free man, so that he can then work in order to free his family from slavery as well. Huck knows that Jim misses his family terribly when he says to himself, "I waked up, just as day-break, he was setting there with his head down betwixt his knees, moaning and mourning to himself...He was thinking about his wife and his children, away up yonder, and he was low and homesick" (1348). Although Huck has grown up an orphan, it is Jim's love for his own family that influences Huck and develops him into a stronger, loving, and moral human being. Huck learns that a black man has the same loving bond with their families, just like white people do. He says, "I do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for their'n. It don't seem natural, but I reckon it's so...He was a mighty good nigger, Jim was" (1348). It is in making this observation that Huck realizes that black people aren't just possessions or property, they are human beings with feelings, emotions and family bonds; which makes his decision to help Jim find freedom all the more feasible."

Influential Literature in the Founding of the Union, 2008.
A discussion of Nathaniel Niles' sermon of 1774 as a precursor to Thomas Jefferson's "Declaration of Independence" and "An Act for Establishing Religious Freedom", and Thomas Paine's "Common Sense".

Abstract
This paper examines a sermon by Massachusetts statesman and preacher Nathaniel Niles, delivered in 1774, that would prefigure some of the more recognized and influential works of revolutionary America, including Thomas Jefferson's "Declaration of Independence" (1776) and "An Act for Establishing Religious Freedom" (1777); and Thomas Paine's "Common Sense". The paper holds that literature of the period leading up to and inspiring the revolution would play a key part in proliferating the ideas of democracy, of the natural rights of man and of the various themes of social justice which would contribute to the theoretical founding of the Union. It points out that Niles spoke of the natural tendency of individuals toward civil liberty, the sense of a divine endorsement of individual liberty and an explication of the logical movement toward democratic governance. The paper concludes that all three works protest to an intercession between administrative practicality, social morality and divine providence and argue that the desire of the colonists for independence could be viewed as a larger resistance to the European practices of monarchical colonialism which had shaped the globe for centuries prior.
From the Paper
"In addition to the social inclination toward civil liberties, Niles also speaks to the divinity of such a consideration, arguing with a recurrent parallel that God himself considers personal and civil liberty to be gifts of the highest order. Remarking on multiple occasions of the Jews' struggle to gain freedom from their Egyptian oppressors, the author expresses a sentiment which compares the injustice of this slavery to the injustice of British tyranny in the colonies. To make the case that God would specifically endorse the colonialist cause, he asserts that of the Jews that God "promised them freedom from the oppression of their enemies as a testimony of his favour in case of their obedience; and as chastisement for their disobedience, he threatened them with servitude." (Niles, 266) Niles' purpose here is to remark upon the divinity in the quest for political liberty, using his pulpit as a forum through which to espouse a spiritualized sense of resistance to the monarchy. This parallels the proposition found in Jefferson's Act, which impels the reader to observe the improprieties of a theoretical--though clearly Britain-inspired--force which "hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time." (Jefferson, 14) Here, Jefferson equates the British imposition of authority throughout the colonized world with a misrepresentation of God's will. His content speaks of an oppressive religious system but bears the mark of allegation against the British abuse of Christianity."

An Influential Woman, 2005.
This paper is a personal essay describing the influence of the author's grandmother on his Christian life.

Abstract
This paper explains that, when the author was a child, her grandmother's death had a huge impact on her life; however, as she grew older, she found out that her grandmother's death wasn't a huge impact at all. The author points out that when her grandma was alive was when her impact began because she had taught the author the importance of the church, the teachings of Jesus Christ and helped her become a devout follower of Christianity. The paper relates that the author's grandma had taught her many things, but the most important responsibility she taught the author was that the world was basically a temporary place.
From the Paper
"If grandma were still alive, she would say that there would be no greater man than Jesus, and that he will come again not to teach but to save man who had faith and take them into the Kingdom of God. "That day is called Judgment Day," she said in a loud and thunderous voice that frightened me half to death. "That is why you should follow Christ and have faith in him." To this day I know no greater man than Jesus. The last knowledge she taught me was how to be a good follower of Christianity, as if I were a true patriot for my country. One day she told me, "Never be a hypocrite! A hypocrite is a person who feigns to be what he is not!""

Influential Political Figures of the Twentieth Century, 2002.
A study into how the beliefs and actions of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler influenced the world during the early part of the twentieth century.

Abstract
The paper shows that not only did the ideas and policies of Marx, Lenin, Stalin Mussolini and Hitler have significant effects within their own countries during their lifetimes, but became so widespread that their influence was felt throughout the world. The author of the paper shows that the ideas and actions of these five men are now of such importance to the study of history, politics and sociology, that their influence will be taught to, and discussed by, students for many generations to come.
From the Paper
"In his desire to restore Italy to greatness, Mussolini was responsible for introducing the images that are now commonly associated with the word 'fascism', such as military rallies, emotional speeches and slogans, and a patriotic leader with great personal charisma (Griffin 1995). These ideas and images were soon adopted and developed by the leader of the country with which Italy would form a close alliance with during World War II, a man who saw Mussolini as a role model, but who would take the ideas of Mussolini and Fascism to such an extreme that he would become, arguably, the most notorious and despised man in history - Adolf Hitler."

The Influential Charles Darwin, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how, out of many scientists during the 19th century, Charles Darwin greatly challenged the status quo with his revolutionary theories of evolution and natural selection. It looks at how,, after a humble start, Charles Robert Darwin rose to challenge the status quo with his revolutionary theories and how many of his most controversial theories ended up by replacing the commonly accepted ideas of the time and are now accepted as simple facts of life. It shows how without the hard work and research of Darwin, we would still be unaware of the reasons why different people and different generations have certain features, and,most importantly, where we, as a human race, come from.
From the Paper
"Darwin was more comfortable at Cambridge than he was at Edinburgh. Author Janet Browne claims, ?Darwin came to feel at home, relaxed and confident among people mostly from the same kind of background as himself ? people with similar professional aspirations and familiar, if conventional, social graces?(91). Darwin spent his first year at Cambridge uneventfully, but over the summer, he began to regret missing out on the ?college experience?. During his second year at Cambridge, Charles had a rather hard time settling in and started heading for failure, but he managed to pull himself back up in the third year and save his degree. A reputable author describes Darwin?s last few weeks at school: ?Darwin?s final examinations were scheduled for January 1831. Study and anxiety made him miserable for weeks beforehand, but when the results were posted, he ranked 10th in a class of 178? (Stefoff 39)."

Abstract
Cites social, political, economic & artistic accomplishments of the decade. Long-term impact of the 1917 Russian Revolution & growth of power of the Soviet Union. World War I and its effects. Emigration to the U.S. of European immigrants. The Lost Generation. Post war prosperity in the U.S. Effect of Stock Market Crash.
From the Paper
"The issue of which decade should be considered the more influential creates a dilemma, for the 1980s are simply too recent to be judged properly, while the influence of the period from 1910 to 1920 is much more apparent and clearly reached far. The two decades are related primarily because the years between them constitute the lifespan of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union came into existence with the Russian Revolution in 1917 and ended with the breakup of the union in 1989. We know what effect the founding of the Soviet Union had on the next seventy years of history and on much of the world, while the consequences of the breakup are only beginning to be discerned and have only had a decade to make any difference at all. By any measure, socially, politically, economically, and artistically, the period from 1910 to 1920 was certainly more..."

Abstract
This paper is about the appreciation and respect the author of this paper feels toward his uncle because of time spent together and the positive influence the uncle had on the life of the author.
From the Paper
"I am convinced that some of the greatest people on earth do not see their name in neon lights, nor do they have the most money or fame. Instead, they exist in our everyday lives and it is up to us to realize how very unordinary they really are. Such is the case with my uncle, Matt Summers."

Two Christian Churches, 2008.
This paper compares the Church of Christ Church and the Assembly of God Church (AOG).

Abstract
This paper examines the philosophical foundations, the biblical and doctrinal emphases, historical developments, and the attitudes and teachings suffusing the Church of Christ Church and the Assembly of God Church (AOG). The author points out that, while the two churches are substantially the same, there appears to be at least one significant doctrinal difference between them. The paper relates that the AOG seems to have a measure of theological and doctrinal confidence that bodes well for its future; whereas, the history of the Church of Christ suggests latent factionalism and less willingness to "proselytize" the masses. The author concludes that, ultimately, a case can be made that this position makes the Church of Christ weaker than its AOG counterpart.
From the Paper
"Briefly, it is vital to review the attitudes and teachings of the two churches. The Church of Christ takes the position that the Bible is infallible, that the Immaculate Reception really did occur, that there is no such thing as predestination (individuals determine their own salvation), that baptism is only rightly done if done via immersion, that only God should hear prayers (there is no confession as there is in the Roman Catholic Church, in other words), and that there is no such thing as purgatory."

Abstract
This paper looks at the increased reports of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. The writer points out that only recently has the Church needed to answer for itself and take a stand due to the high level of reported cases. An examination of the Church's response is given which follows criticism of their reaction.
From the Paper
"The Catholic Church has been rocked recently by allegations of sexual abuses?especially against children. The problem is not isolated but all pervading. The cases of child, sexual abuses are about the same percentage as the general population. Most of the cases are not, in the strictest sense pedophilic?sex with pre-pubescent children, but ephebophilia?abuse of adolescent children. In a comprehensive study of 2,252 priests for 30 years, only one case of pedophilia was found. It involved a priest with two six year-old nieces. Between 5 and 10 percent of priests were pederasts (ephebophiles). (Jenkins, 1996)"
