Abstract
This paper discusses the psychological techniques that Hitler and the Nazis used during the 1930s to assume control in Germany and maintain order until their defeat in 1945. The paper breaks down several sociological and psychological concepts such as obedience, conformity, the power of iconic symbols, national pride, and the authority of a centralized ideal over the individual. The paper demonstrates that the Nazis were adept at creating an environment in which the wounded German psyche, crippled from harsh treatment from the Versailles Treaty and foreign oppression, was able to restore its strength under the symbol of the swastika. While many Germans understood that the Nazis were perhaps corrupt and performing cruel actions against their fellow man, particular psychological elements that the Nazis installed upon their rise to power in the 1930s prohibited any individual from opposing their rule. The last part of the paper discusses how many Germans felt that following the Nazis was a way for them to restore the pride they had lost, and Hitler capitalized on this feeling with great effectiveness. There is also a brief description of the tactics that Goebbels used in using his Propaganda Ministry to keep the German masses completely under the heel of Nazi brutality.
From the Paper
"The inclination of human beings within any society to design and accommodate a government that protects their rights as citizens normally is considered top priority for any culture or ethnic group. Throughout history, societies have been influenced by many sociological factors that dictate what system of government they install, or in some cases, governments that are installed for the public by an authoritarian ruler. Nowhere in the annals of human existence can this forced subjugation of the masses be seen more clearly then in Nazi Germany, beginning in 1933 and ending after the Allied victory at Berlin in 1945. This particular case is peculiar however, for not only were the majority of citizens in Germany at the time willing to comply with Hitler's tyrannical government, but many individuals actively participated in the horror that was the Nazi regime. The question behind the German populace's compliance has been explained from the political and economic perspectives countless times, but the most interesting aspect of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich is from a sociological point of view."

Christian Theology and Psychology, 2007.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the author's experience as a pastoral counselor, the integrated model is the closest to his personal view; whereas, the un-Christian model is the farthest from his perspective. The author points out that the un-Christian model contends that, while biblical concepts may be of some use in therapeutic practice, they should not be allowed to interfere in the basic course of this practice; while, the integrated model sees the role of the pastoral counselor as being one of integrating psychology and the Bible in a harmonious fashion. The paper relates that the strength and effectiveness of the integrated position lies in its recognition of how psychology and theology are not antithetical but, in fact, represent elements of a unified truth. The paper includes quotations.
From the Paper
"In practical terms in regard to my work as a Christian counselor, I would liken my pastoral role - under this integrated approach - as being akin to that of a "general practitioner" in medicine. While general practitioners are qualified to diagnose many medical conditions, there are often situations in which there is something that they may feel goes beyond their own knowledge base or skill set. In these cases, they refer their patient to a specialist. It is worth noting that in making this referral, the general practitioner is not indicating that her or his own knowledge is flawed or that there is some radical epistemological difference between the knowledge base of the specialist and her or his own."

From the Paper
"This study will consider a number of elements of the "submissive" middle class in Japanese society as described and analyzed in Karel van Wolferen's "The Enigma of Japanese Power".
The basis of much of the power and order of Japan in the world in the late years of the 20th century is what van Wolferen calls the "submissive" nature of that society. As the author notes, "The post-war aims of the Japanese System have been entrusted mainly to the economic organizations. The System is preoccupied with industrial and commercial pursuits.. " And industrial and commercial pursuits are successful because of submissive and obedient workers, who are modeled on the "salaryman" model.
As the author writes, " . . . The term 'salaryman' connotes much more than 'office clerk' or 'white-collar worker'; it stands ... "

Elements of Fiction in Joyce and Faulkner, 2006.
This paper looks at the elements of fiction that are found in the literary works of Joyce and Faulkner.

Abstract
This paper examines the use of three fictive elements--setting, characterization and point-of-view--in Joyce's 'Eveline' and Faulkner's 'Barn Burning'. The paper explores the importance of these literary devices in making the works in question more resonant with the reader and notes that there are actually excepting, of course, the obvious differences in subject matter many more similarities than differences between the two works. The writer concludes that in the end, each story is as much a marvelously-constructed bit of literature as it is a work of imagination.
From the Paper
"Both Faulkner and Joyce were brilliant story-tellers who knew how to use fictive elements to full effect. The following paper will explore three fictive elements - setting, character and point-of-view - as they are employed by both writers. In particular, the paper will review Joyce's "Eveline" and Faulkner's "Barn Burning" and argue that the differences between the two works begin and effectively end with their subject matter; beyond that, their use of literary technique is arrestingly similar. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of these issues that we now turn. As mentioned above, Joyce's "Eveline" uses three elements of fiction - setting, character and point-of-view - especially well."

Abstract
This paper examines a few outstanding poetic elements which three prominent American poets have used to convey the messages they wish to impart to readers. Along the way the paper notes how each poem, while undeniably great nonetheless, uses different tools to become so. The paper is also quick to note how the best poetry, using the work of Tato LaViera as one example, is able to use common place literary devices like repetition in ways that make predictability agreeable.
From the Paper
"Great poetry uses certain techniques in much the same way great fiction uses literary techniques to craft a story or draw a character. This paper will briefly examine three poems - Alberto Rios' "Seniors", Edgar Allan Poe's "The Haunted Palace", and Tato LaViera's "American" - and discuss the dominant poetic elements which animate each. In the end, what should become clear is that there are many different ways of producing memorable poetry in the modern age, and each of these authors does an expert job of finding what is needed to convey the message they wish convey. In Alberto Rios' "Seniors", the reader is confronted with the clever use of both middle and informal diction."

Abstract
This paper explains that sensation is the process that allows the body to take in stimuli from outside of it; whereas, perception is based on what our own brain recognizes and how it processes the sensations of taste, smell, touch, vision, and hearing send to it. The author points out that classical and operant conditioning are two ways of learning; both have the elements of response to stimuli and are learned in response to stimuli. However, there are differences related to the person's incentives, reinforcement, and active or passive learning. The paper relates that the three kinds of memory are explicit, episodic, and semantic and that the components of cognition are problem-solving, creativity, reasoning, and judgment.
Table of Contents
Sensation and Perception
Classical and Operant Conditioning
Memory
Problem-Solving, Creativity, Reasoning, and Judgment
From the Paper
"Classical conditioning is when a person or animal learns by associating between an event and some stimulus. An excellent example of classical conditioning is how Pavlov trained his dogs. He fed them food and watched the dogs to see what response they had, which was salivation prior to receiving the food. He then began to ring a bell prior to feeding the dogs and after a period, the dogs began to salivate at the sound of the bell. No food had to be present to make the dogs salivate, as they were able to associate the bell with the food."

Abstract
This essay will focus on a claim of value within the structure of Annette T. Rottenberg's style of argument with her book entitled "Elements of Argument". By analyzing a claim to value in an objective projected by a business, we can use these arguments to achieve a greater understanding of how a value can be projected onto an item and convincingly revealed. Value can be determined by the way that is presented in Toulmin' system of argumentation through the scope of a business writer like Rottenberg. The essay will cover her methods-via the Toulmin System- and seek to uncover a value claim within its perimeters.

Abstract
This paper uses Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado", Chopin's "The Story of an Hour", and Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" to demonstrate the importance and effectiveness of techniques such as imagery, symbolism, and the use of a narrator as a character in fictional writing.
From the Paper
"The narrator's voice in fiction is one of the most important elements in fiction for a variety of reasons, as the two works, "The Cask of Amontillado" by Poe and "The Story of an Hour" by Chopin clearly illustrate. Poe's makes his story more dramatic and chilling by using a first-person narrator who not only brings the reader into the action, but is actually the person walling up his "friend" because he wants revenge for a perceived wrong. The story would certainly have been different if Poe had used third person narration. Not only would it remove the perpetrator of the crime as the only voice the reader knows, it would break up the story by perhaps adding the thoughts and feelings of Fortunato as he was walled up, and this would take away the climax of the dramatic ending of the story."
