Abstract
In this paper the author examines the very basis of Cartesian philosophy;what can we really know? He expresses his opinions of Cartesian philosophy and in some cases denounces it by stating that human beings experience the world not as it "actually is" but rather only as a version of their own interpretation. The author concludes with his own arguments supporting his personal opinion that human beings cannot truly experience the world as it is.
From the Paper
"One sense can even fool other senses into misinterpreting what they should be telling the mind. For example, if you are sitting in a stationary car next to stationary train, it is common to get the sensation that your car is rolling backwards only to discover that the train has begun to move forward. When this happens, the momentary misinterpretation of reality is not simply a visual one. You will actually feel your entire body moving backwards up until the moment you realize that it was only the train."

There is no denying that the blending of the two cultures is inevitable and it is an exciting prospect."

Abstract
The paper shows that the huge amounts of government spending and the ensuing deficit created by the needs of a two-front military effort, as well as supplying on-going domestic consumption, spurred real production in post World War II America and created sudden economic prosperity, ending the depression. The paper explores the reasons behind the growth of the Gross National Product, the increase in industry and the shift in habits of the workforce. The paper also shows how the development of technology in the 1960s contributed to this economic growth.
From the Paper
"The role of status began to play a role, as it was increasingly felt that white-collar jobs were more socially ?upscale? than traditional blue collar, or manufacturing jobs. Factory work with lower class or ?working class? connotations became less attractive to many people than the corporate environment. (Smithsonian Institution website). The postwar baby boom caused an increase in population leading to the migration of families to the suburbs; as the suburbs grew, business moved into new areas. Shopping centers grew and expanded, changing retail distribution to match changing consumer patters and growing discretionary income. Distribution and expansion were facilitated by the highways providing better access to new communities; the Highway Act of 1956 provided $26 billion USD to build highways to link all parts of the country. (State Department.)"

Abstract
Many Americans and others around the world grew up knowing and loving Walt Disney and the world that he created. From 1955, when Disney opened his first theme park in Anaheim, California, there was the thought that Disney would reach around the world, as many visitors from around the world came to visit the park in Anaheim and the duplicate park in Orlando. Disney proved it could move around the world and, therefore, opened its first international park in 1983 in Tokyo, Japan and then in Paris, France in 1992. There are many issues that Disney experienced with both of the international parks, but most notably, the one in France. This paper discusses Disney?s experience in France, the global impact of Disney?s business, as well as the evolving nature of the global economy and its effect on Disney?s operations.
From the Paper
"First, Disney is constantly looking for ways to build their business on a global level as over the past 20 years the business of Disney has grown from Anaheim to Tokyo to France and beyond. Only three years after the expansion of Disney?s park system to Tokyo, Japan, Disney looks to take on Europe. Disney felt that Europeans should be the next to fall more in love with Disney. ?When word got out that Disney wanted to build another international theme park, officials from more than 200 locations all over the world descended on Disney with pleas and cash inducements to work the Disney magic in their hometowns? (Huey, 1995). Because of the economic impact felt in Tokyo with the addition of the theme park there these officials wanted to realize the impact of a large global corporation in their respective communities and countries, however Disney was already looking toward France. Although there was a slow start due to cultural differences the park begins to show a profit and increase the global presence of Disney."

Abstract
This paper looks at the global issue of poverty as well as the poverty that exists today in the USA. The author describes the different lives that the poor in America have compared to those struggling to survive in developing countries. He provides some of the causes that lead to abject poverty and concludes that if we cure the world of poverty, we will cure the world of hunger, thirst, illiteracy, and disease.
From the Paper
"When Americans think of poverty, many of them tend to think of people living on the street and begging for money in our nation's biggest cities. Many are naive to the fact that almost one billion people are living in "absolute poverty." Absolute poverty, as described by Robert McNamara, are "those living, literally, on the margin of life. Their lives are so characterized by malnutrition, illiteracy, and disease as to be beneath any reasonable definition of human dignity" (23). The main reason for McNamara's definition is to help Westerners understand that poverty is a lot different to us than it is in the developing world.
"The poor in New York City may be living under a bridge or sleeping on a park bench, but they rarely have to worry about how they are going to eat since the United States offers programs to aid the poor, such as homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and food stamps. In the developing world, it is a different story. Millions of children receive insufficient amounts of food, especially protein, which thereby causes their brains to remain undeveloped and leads to a higher chance of less-productive lives. Millions of these children die each year before the age of five due to malnutrition and diseases associated with malnutrition (23)."

The Dynamics of Christianity around the World, 2008.
This paper discusses the patterns by which twenty-five countries experienced the arrival of Christianity.
4,295 words (approx. 17.2 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 113.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, whether a person's experience of Christianity is evangelical or just awareness of ancestors who long ago adopted the religion, there is often the idea of Christianity as a catalyst for positive change. The author points out that the theme of monotheism as superior and as a marker of civilization combines well with other stabilizing projects wherever Christianity is taken. The paper relates that, if a religion favors one god that values humble efforts at getting along with others, a powerful personal philosophy for dignity can be found in situations of poverty and perhaps extreme oppression. The author underscores that, in the early 21st century, the same cycle of Christian myths and allegories continues even in a world that seems more secular, devoted to a religion of consumerism. The paper states that the early 21st century is dramatized as a time of Muslim and Christian activism, including theories of colliding civilizations, religions and cultures; however, this situation has become merely as politicized as they were in the Middle Ages. The paper describes Christianity in several countries.

Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"The New Testament repeats the message of God preferring the humble of the earth, forgiving every kind of human sin if an individual, of any kind, makes a genuine effort to turn over a new leaf. The New Testament appends the letters of Paul, a reprobate turned Christian, who went to tell Gentiles of the good news, the divine nature of the departed Jesus and the hope that he offered to ordinary people. A favorite Christian theme, in keeping with its roots in Judaism and what came later in Islam, is the superiority of one god above polytheistic religions."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"When teaching, I see preparation as one of the most important parts of the process. "Preparation of a formal lesson demands a consideration of three major factors: the students, the subject matter, and the resources and constraints." (Curzon 1997;276). If I did not feel fully prepared I would lack a great deal of confidence and feel that I was deceiving my learners. Planning the session adequately ensures that all aims and objectives are clear and the learning process is thorough."

St. Augustine's "Confessions", 2005.
This paper discusses the unique way in which St. Augustine approached the relationship between memory, God and self in his classical philosophical and theological treatise, known as the "Confessions".

Abstract
This paper explains that St. Augustine considers knowledge to be separate from senses and the meaning of concepts separately from the sound of their vocalization; he concludes that knowledge does not enter people but has always existed in people - a very Platonic idea. The author points out that, in the recent Stephen King movie "Dreamcatcher", the protagonist retreats into his memory, which visualizes the ideas, which St. Augustine discusses so poetically at the beginning of the eighth chapter of his book "Confessions". The paper challenges everyone to think about the world of memory and about the world of experiencing God, who is somehow not of the world known by people: If people find God, or love, or hope, or truth in their memories, it belongs to them, but it is not really theirs to experience.
From the Paper
"At once his thoughts return to God, and this is a very important moment because in his fear and wonderment he has a moment of ecstatic doubt -- in this infinite interior, where is God? He recalls that even animals have memories, even they must have this kind of landscape, and animals (he thinks) do not have a relationship to God. If his self is distinct from his memory self, is it possible he does not really know all the things his memory-self seems to know? Can he know God? He worries that he must transcend the barriers of memory to find God, and yet he cannot even look for God if he cannot remember what he is looking for." This leads, through association, to the idea of looking for the "happy life."

The Impact of Global Telecommunications Improvements on Islamic Women, 1996.
An in-depth and thorough examination of the impact of technology and telecommunications advancements on the Arab world in general and on Islamic women in particular.

Abstract
This thesis examines the impact of telecommunications improvements on the Islamic people. Specifically, the impact of these improvements on Saudi Arabia, an Arab state, and Iran, a Persian state. Although not "anti-technology" or opposed to modernization, the people in Saudi Arabia and Iran are adapting to telecommunications improvements in a method that is in accordance with their core beliefs. The belief in Islam accounts for the "non-Western" model of implementing telecommunications improvements for the citizens of these two countries.
The underpinning of this thesis is that telecommunications improvements will impact the Islamic world no less than any other region of the world experiencing the same improvements. In the case of Saudi Arabia, the CDLR(Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights) is an influential organization using facsimile machines to impact the domestic political environment. Iran, growing as fast in telephone line installations and satellite services as their economic peers, is moving towards privatization in telecommunication systems. Furthermore, Iran is using its capabilities to influence Central Asian neighbors and spread their Shi'i Islam belief.
With the growth and availability of telecommunications services, it is inevitable that current technology will allow unique opportunities to gain and disseminate information. The international community is unlikely to find a viable method to control the proliferation of telecommunications around the globe. Therefore, each society or nation is its own regulator of improving telecommunications systems. Each society, to include the Islamic people, must rely on their culture to determine the degree telecommunications will penetrate the fabric of their society.

From the Paper
"Ranging from the dynamic to the mundane, the improvement of global information systems crosses cultures, languages, and generations. With the information communication sector growing at twice the rate of the rest of the economy, the globalization of information infrastructures has just begun. The global distribution of telephone circuitry, although not as prevalent as television sets, constitutes the largest interconnected global public communications network. Furthermore, the telephone companies, while at the forefront of media providers, are at the leading edge of the digitalization process as a result of experience in providing service and maintenance communication systems to millions of customers."

Questions who, out of Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt, created the modern presidency.

Abstract
This paper examines the origin of the modern presidency. Modern presidents, much more than traditional presidents, are expected to initiate and seek support for legislative action. In the arena of foreign policy, Roosevelt's nationalism eventually lost out to Wilson's internationalism. The United States became a world power along idealist lines. Wilson bundled these Anglo-American ideas together and presented them as the solution the world was seeking. Wilson feared a second world war after experiencing the horrors of the first. International liberalism was a towering presence in the post-Cold War world. It was the world's orthodoxy.
