From the Paper
"He viewed God at the center of a person's being; as infinitely loving. He perceived life to be an individual's spiritual birth while each person partakes in their own creation. Scripture, he contended, is ". . . a story of inner-life stages" as people we learn and grow. (The Swedenbogian Church) Jesus Christ manifested God, Swendenborg stressed . . . the Divine became flesh to empower humans to be comprehend a distinctive relationship with God. Prior to Christ's coming, God had been beyond human comprehension. Jesus gave humans an overt expression of God's reality. Christ reflects the trinity. Swendenborg denied that Christ came to redeem people from original sin, but argues Christ mission was to reveal the spiritual life's reality and nature. "

Abstract
This paper summarizes the article written by Prof. Kerry A. A. "Toward a General Theory of Hurricanes" which appeared in the July, 1988 edition of "American Scientist" and which calls for the placement of the physics of hurricanes in a more general context. The paper shows that Emanuel's reasoning behind this is that it would allow scientists to predict how the frequency and intensity of these storms would respond to changes in climate and allow scientists to relate hurricanes to seemingly different phenomena such as oceanic storms of the polar night and dust devils.
From the Paper
"The question of why hurricanes are so rare is considered next, for it is often known that there are several empirical condition that are necessary but not sufficient for the formation of hurricanes. There is some limitation which prevents these from being sufficient in most cases, and Emanuel considers a number of numerical simulations which may give a clue. He says there is a need for a strong starting disturbance, and this is consistent with the observation that real hurricanes never start spontaneously. The model of Rotunno and Emanuel is asymmetric and does not allow variations of the explicitly calculated fields around circles centered at the storm center. To start a hurricane, it was necessary to impose on the basic state a weak vortex which decays upward from the surface. This is the disturbance which starts the process toward a hurricane."

Abstract
This paper examines Emanuel Wallerstein's modern world system and looks at how he showed how the European, capitalist, world economy developed from the 16th century into its modern form today. It explores how this modern world system came from the argument that the world system, which was traditionally considered capitalist, had an unequal international division of labor and was centered on both political and economic exploitation.
From the Paper
"There were two specific divisions of the world system, and Wallerstein labeled these as world economies and world empires (Wallerstein, 1974b). The world empire was seen as a social entity that had not only a select centralized political structure but a redistributive economic system (Wallerstein, 1974b). The centralized political structure of the world Empire is a strength that it has but also a weakness (Wallerstein, 1974b). An economic flow from the outlying areas to the center through both tribute and taxation is guaranteed but there is also a bureaucracy that arises in such an empire and this absorbs a great deal of the profit (Wallerstein, 1974b). This is especially true in times where the military expenditure and social unrest is at its highest. In contrast to world empires, world economies are seen not as political entities but as economic ones (Wallerstein, 1974b)."

Abstract
This paper outlines the specific religious view of William Blake. It traces Blake's influences to various sources, such as the Christian Bible, Buddhism, and the texts of Emmanuel Swedenborg and John Milton. Its main thesis states that Blake believes that humanity itself holds more importance than the traditional view of God as creator, lawmaker, and punisher. The paper makes use of many primary and secondary sources.
From the Paper
"When reading the works of William Blake, it quickly becomes apparent that the texts are rife with Blake's strong opinions on social issues, especially those on religion. As rebellious as Blake proved to be, it is not surprising that he made it a point to rail against any religion that would impose restriction on the human imagination through any sort of rule, dogma, or rationale. Blake's own belief draws from two fundamental Christian ideas, those of divinity in man (as in Jesus Christ) and the importance of forgiveness of sins. Blake uses these principles to back up his personal opinion, which holds humanity to be the center of the universe, not God; this is hinted at in many of Blake's works, and is fully realized in arguably his greatest achievement, Jerusalem."

Abstract
This paper examines the events of World War II in light of Plato's philosophical and ethical works. In particular, the author considers the incidence of imperialism during the conflict and how Plato might have viewed this. The paper first explores Plato's philosophical outlook and that of other philosophers who influenced him and then highlights and analyzes Plato's works "The Republic" and "The Allegory of the Cave." The philosophies of different scholars from different time periods are also analyzed in terms of Plato's outlooks. Additionally, the paper examines Plato's theory of forms and shows its link with Socrates. The paper concludes with an overview of three modern philosophers which include Emanuel Wallerstein, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Eli Wiesel.
From the Paper
"Plato deals with ethics in many of his writings. In particular, his informative dialogues about 'The Republic' and 'The Allegory of the Cave' deal with ethics in a rather abstract sense. Both of these writings will be mentioned here, and used to explain how Plato sees human ethics and behaviors. However, much of what Plato worked with and where his philosophy came from involved three other philosophers - Pythagorus, Heraclitus, and Parmenides. These three individuals will be addressed here, and after they have been discussed Plato's philosophy will be addressed in order to show how the work that they did was taken up by Plato and used in the philosophy that he discussed."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in analyzing Polish-centered Holocaust literature and films, it becomes clear that certain themes are recurrent: Imagination vs. reality, exposure vs. nakedness, the inversion of Biblical meaning and of human order in general, pre-destined catastrophe and the appropriateness of humor. The author states that the Polish-centered themes are more vivid and their representation more graphically intense than the general writing about the Holocaust because of the concentration of death camps and the density of its tragedy; Poland is often perceived as the "ground zero" and the pivotal point by which Holocaust writers come to grips with the slaughter of the Jews and others. The paper analyzes many examples of Polish Holocaust literature: Alfred Andersch' "Efraim's Book", Arnold Wesker's " Sophie's Choice", Pierre Gascar's "Seasons of the Dead", Claude Lanzmann's film/ quasi-documentary "Shoah", Aaron Appelfeld's novella "Badenheim 1939", K. Tsetnik's "Salamandra", Henri Raczymow's "Un Cris sans Voix", Emanuel Ringelbaum's "Notes from the Warsaw Ghetto" and the Academy Award winning movie "Life is Beautiful".
From the Paper
"In Shoah literature, certain questions present themselves again and again: Do these themes - which often reflect a universal character of sort - diminish the particular suffering and injustice of the event? Can any writing truly capture the enormous moral crimes of the Holocaust? Sparking a hotly-discussed debate, Theodor Adorno wrote that poetic treatments of the Shoah were a form of "barbarism." In light of this criticism, it has often been asked by both writers and critics alike, what justification does a writer have for treating the subject matter at all? This charge has seldom been directed at any other subject of fiction, but it might be argued that such outrageous criticism is simply evidence of the subject's moral and tragic dimensions."
