Abstract
The paper examines the poem "Leaves of Grass: Song of Myself," by Walt Whitman, and the novels "Moby Dick," by Herman Melville, and "The Scarlet Letter," by Nathaniel Hawthorne to introduce, discuss, and compare the topic of social control of feeling as a powerful theme in the antebellum era. The paper shows that it is clear that each of these authors grappled with the dictates of society when they were writing, using a distinctive voice and technique to show their dislike of the lack of feeling and emotion that was "acceptable" to society at the time.
From the Paper
"Hawthorne is not approving of adultery in this novel, he is condemning the practice of branding someone for life because of a past sin, and not allowing them to pay for their mistake in their own way, and continue with their lives. He is condemning society, who has no right to judge, when they have not confessed their own sins, which might be even worse. Again, it is partly a story about good and evil, and like "Moby Dick," the roles are somewhat reversed. Hester Prynne is an adulteress, but it is clear from the book that she is not a bad woman, and does not lead a bad life. She raises her child of the union, Pearl, with love and affection. "

Abstract
This paper contends that the poem "Since Feeling Is First" by e.e. cummings seems to be about love and how much it determines what we do in life. It looks at how the poem illustrates the splendor of love in our lives and how life in the poem seems to be represented to the reader as a formality. Even though most consider death to be the end, it appears that e.e. cummings sees it as a beginning.
From the Paper
"This poem's speaker could be "the man" in love who is trying to convince "his lover" that the flow of time is immaterial and that when you first feel something for someone, everything afterwards occurs at the same time. He explains to his love that there is no "syntax" or order or sense to our feelings and that if you attempt to make sense of it, (.... will never wholly kiss you; line 4) you will miss out on it. This could in fact be a simile that life itself is like an unstructured paragraph that has run-on sentences, mistakes, incorrect syntax and sometimes no punctuation at all. We witness the word "wholly"(lines 4 & 5) repeated twice in the poem, and in my opinion it's used to emphasize how a person must completely give himself over to the feelings being felt in order to entirely live moment without it being overly structured.

Abstract
This paper states that American has great pride and belief in its destiny and in the rightness of its Constitution. But, it also has assumptions of superiority, imperialism, and hypocrisy. The author reviews the writings of Thomas Paine, Crevecoeur, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville.
From the Paper
"In literature as well, we see these American attitudes come out. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hester Prynne is marked as an adulteress, but the Reverend is just as guilty as she is. However, he pretends to be holier than thou (moral superiority), until the truth comes out."

Abstract
This essay explores the emotions and feelings in the decision making process. It does this by first defining what is meant by the decision making process. It then looks at emotions and feelings in consumer psychology, relating how this impacts on the decision-making process. The essay also views the role of these emotions and feelings in the decision-making process in the South African context, and discusses various ways in which emotions and feelings can be used in a marketing strategy to enhance marketing communication (i.e.: the combination of advertising, the sales force, public relations, packaging and any other technique in which that the company provides itself and its products) and a company?s total product (i.e.: the entire set of characteristics involved in the marketing strategy).
From the Paper
"The most perverse and influential assumption in consumer behavior research is that a decision making process precedes purchases (ie: that the consumer goes through a complex process of deciding what and where to purchase, before the actual purchasing itself). Many definitions of the decision making process exist, but most agree that two or more actions occur within it and, therefore, choice must occur. In addition, individual consumer?s ?evaluative criteria? facilitate the forecasting of each alternative?s consequences for the consumer?s goals or objectives. Further, the chosen alternative is determined by an evaluative procedure, and information sought from external sources or retrieved from memory is processed in the application of this evaluation process (Olshavsky & Granbois, 1991). Interestingly, there is evidence that a significant proportion of purchases may not be preceded by a decision process, and that for many purchases, a decision process never occurs."

Abstract
The author states ?Good Country People? by Flannery O?Connor is a story that illustrates how deceptive appearances can be. The author continues the story line exemplifies that errors are made when people hide behind their own clich?d perceptions instead of thinking clearly about situations. The author feels that the plot makes the ending effective and leaves the reader with their eyes open wide, much like Hulga, the main character.
From the Paper
"The story opens with the theme of hiding behind one?s own perceptions by introducing the character of Mrs. Freeman. The story begins, not be telling the reader who Mrs. Freeman is, but by describing her two expressions, ?forward and reverse.? Mrs. Freeman is introduced as the character that makes up her mind about something, never reconsiders that opinion and never accepts that she may have been wrong. Opening in this way, establishes the theme of the story, because of the focus on how people appear. It also establishes the theme of how people think and especially, how people can make up their mind about something and then refuse to consider any other option. Finally, by telling the reader how Mrs. Freeman acts, but not whom she is, offers a test for the reader?s own perceptions. The reader is forced to take the information given about her appearance and try to determine who she is. The reader then is not only reading about the subject of the story but also is taking part in the subject."

Good Parenting, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that some experts believe that today's parents are stifling their children with constant worrying and supervision and are denying children learning opportunities for risk-assessment and challenge needed to develop self-confidence. The author points out that confidence is the key to child-rearing. The paper relates that parents are often quick to judge a child's actions or choice of words and neglect to see that at times they are actually cries for love, attention or help; therefore, it is important to acknowledge a child's feelings and opinions and try to understand a situation from their point of view.
From the Paper
"A good parent is constantly worrying about their children because there seems to be infinite dangers lurking everywhere. Should a parent vaccinate or not vaccinate, should one parent be a stay-at-home parent or should both parents work outside the home? There is such a myriad of advice available and much of it conflicting over everything from potty training and playing, reading and sleeping, to socializing and eating, it is difficult and frustrating to know whom to believe and trust. Then there are the everyday hazards, such as pedophiles, child kidnappers, rapists, poisonous plastics, choking hazards, sudden death syndrome, chemical contamination of food, and child equipment recalls. It is enough to make any parent paranoid, guilt wracked, angst-ridden, and lose many nights of sleep due to a fear-filled mind."

Abstract
This paper explains that getting Americans to exercise may be difficult, but the benefits of exercise are clear: People who exercise tend to live longer, have better overall health, and feel better about themselves. The author points out that, in California, many programs are available that help people develop and maintain healthy lifestyles including exercise. The paper relates that education is the key to helping people understand the benefits of exercise and that education must begin early in life for exercise to become a daily habit.
From the Paper
"There are also many things individuals can do that add up to better health through exercise. Even small steps can lead to better health. Some people believe exercise must be difficult to work, and it cannot be enjoyable, but adding exercise to a daily routine can begin with small things, like walking a dog for fifteen minutes every evening, walking to the local restaurant or mall instead of driving, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. These small steps often lead to an increased enjoyment of activity, and more activity as the fitness level begins to increase."

Abstract
This paper explains that body image is the one thing that haunts everyone, especially teenagers - males and females alike. The author points out that media images of picture-perfect celebrities, peer pressure and family factors are all causes of negative body image, which give teenagers low self-esteem and decreased confidence. The paper argues that, unless the media starts to show average bodies and natural beauty, males and females alike will feel pressured into certain looks, causing the cycle of crash diets, steroid use, cosmetic surgeries and eating disorders.
From the Paper
"Many eating disorders are caused by media and the images they portray to teenagers nowadays. For example, before television hit Fiji in 1995, "plump" bodies were considered sexy and attractive. However, after television sets were brought into the country in 1995, cases of eating disorders skyrocketed. Teens are bombarded with images of beauty and perfection, which is obviously unachievable. Many celebrities are stick-figures with flawless looks and men falling all over them. This gives teenage girls the impression that, in order to get a guy to notice them, they have to be extreme skinny."

From the Paper
"Everyday the moment Mrs. Figueroa walked in walked in the bright classroom I felt my stomach sink in. As the heads of my classmates turned and looked at me I couldn't help but look down at my desk. Everyone knew that she was coming to get me and that I'd be missing the rest of class but no one understood why I was leaving. As she walked toward my desk she asked me to get my stuff. I went to my "cubby" and got my stuff. Mrs. Milton, who was writing the alphabet on the board, looked over at me and said, "See you tomorrow Randy." I hated responding to her out loud therefore all I did was walk as fast as I could to the door, looking only at the carpet covered with different colored circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares. Mrs. Figueroa walked slowly in front of me and I felt like running past her into the hallway so my classmates would stop staring at me. Mrs. Milton seemb ed to be talking to her self because everyone's attention was focused on me as I walked out of the room filled with posters of different numbers, shapes, and letters."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The realities of war do not seem real to people when the war is halfway around the world. This lack of empathy on the part of society can create problems for returning soldiers as well as soldiers that are fighting the war currently. One of the things that helps boost morale in the war zone is for the soldiers to believe that their nation stands behind their efforts. Whether one believes in the war or not, the support for the soldiers has not been questioned since the beginning of the war, however, as people go about their daily lives they tend to forget that there are soldiers in desert areas being shot at every day. The empathy factor is often missing when it comes to Americans and the war."
