Abstract
Mad Cow Disease is a brain disease of cattle, which was first identified in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s. Although not as widespread as some other livestock diseases, such as hoof-and mouth-disease, the Mad Cow Disease has attracted a lot of publicity because of its apparent apparent ability to transmit to humans, the fact that there is no known cure for the disease and the horrifying nature of the brain decay it causes. This paper explains the cause of the disease, how it affects the organisms, how it is transmitted from one organism to another, and the ways in which it could be transmitted to humans. The paper also discusses the human equivalents of the disease.
Paper Outline:
Cause of the Disease
How the Disease Affects the Organism
How is the Disease Transmitted from one Organism to Another
The Ways in Which it Could be Transmitted from Cows to Humans
Human Equivalents of the Disease
Works Cited
From the Paper
"This theory about the spread of disease is based on the observation that incidences of the disease have mostly been found in the UK where feeding of meat and bone meal to cattle was most common. Although other European countries also fed meat and bone meals to cattle as a protein supplement, the British laws about high temperature sterilization of the protein meal were relatively lax in order to keep meat prices competitive."

From the Paper
"To understand the marketing mechanism of Foot Locker, it is important to also understand the nature of the business in which they excel. Foot Locker is a major player in the direct sales of athletic footwear, accessories and apparel to virtually every demographic and market segment due to a diverse selection of retail concept stores and a growing online identity. The marketing that Foot Locker undertakes involves well known athletes to a great extent, with the rationale that if the average person can't play football like their favorite professional player, they can at least look like him or wear his name and number across their backs. In the midst of this marketing effort, Foot Locker also utilizes growth and expansion as a marketing tool. At the present time, Foot Locker is gaining a stronghold in Ireland and has yet unnamed new territories in which to place stores. For as large and far reaching as Foot Locker is right now, there are still areas in which Foot Locker has not gotten involved, and must do so to continue growth as well as to maintain what it has gained in other countries and parts of the world as well.

Abstract
This paper examines the ancient Chinese custom of foot binding. The paper details the history of this ritual and the socio-cultural role it played in Chinese society. Then the paper turns to an analysis of the metaphoric significance of foot binding in literature and on film. Works studied include the James Michener epic novel "Hawaii" and the film "The Hawaiians", which is based on the novel and the film "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness".
From the Paper
"James Michener explored the Chinese culture in his epic novel Hawaii, which was made into two films, the second of which, The Hawaiians, dealt with the Chinese woman Char Nyuk Tsin, and her husband, Kee Mun Ki. While the practice of foot binding is never a central theme or issue of either the novel or the film, it is an underlying element in the plot structure and character development. Char Nyuk Tsin is a peasant woman of Hakka, a mountain village that traditionally does not bind the feet of their women, since they are required to carry heavy loads up and down steep and rocky terrain. A rival neighboring village practices the custom, considering it a mark of ignorance that their neighbors leave their women's feet to grow naturally.When the Chinese are imported to Hawaii to work in the fields, the first women allowed on the islands are the women with strong, unbound feet. Chinese women with bound feet are not among the early Chinese allowed to relocate in the Hawaiian Islands, since their usefulness as laborers is limited."

An analysis of the movie "My Left Foot", directed by Jim Sheridan.

Abstract
This paper looks at the movie "My Left Foot" about Christy Brown who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth and who was born to an archetypal Irish working-class family. The paper relates that the film portrays how Christy, despite his severe disability and impoverished status, displays hope and resilience and how, although he proves himself as an artist and a writer, he is a simple man who craves a normal life.
From the Paper
"Despite his ability to produce creative paintings, which were often representative of his tumultuous emotions, Christy was nothing other than a simple boy trapped in the body of a complicated cripple. I do not suspect that Christy experienced depression or self-pity for lack of physical abilities, since he physically adapted well to his surroundings and handicaps. On the contrary, Christy fought his greatest battles in an effort to prove that his dissimilar shell held all of the same ingredients inherent in other human beings. In the end of the film, Christy mentions that he considered calling his memoir "Reminisces of a Mental Defective", a sign of the mental anguish he probably suffered and endured from lack of friends and intimate love.

"My Left Foot", 2005.
Argues that the movie, "My Left Foot", is not a progressive representation of disability.
1,221 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 0 sources, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The movie, "My Left Foot", stars Daniel Day Lewis as the real life Irish cerebral palsy survivor, Christy Brown. Greatly encouraged by his mother, he becomes a noted painted and author. The paper shows how the movie uses Christy's life to bring across the message that even the disabled can succeed in a competitive and often unforgiving society; however, the movie's perspective comes across as idealistic and unattainable. The paper argues that the movie fails to address the fact that not all disabled persons have such special talents as Christy and therefore does not represent the disabled sector of the community correctly.
From the Paper
"The other progressive aspect that we have to study from the movie is society. In the movie, society does not reject Christy because of his disability. In real life this factor is rare because the harsh reality is that people will discriminate. During Christy's childhood, the children really enjoyed playing with him, expressing no misgivings, as children might, about playing with a disabled child. The children in the movie never ask or express any curiosity, in regards to Christy's handicap. It's almost as if the producers of this movie try to sugar-wash this aspect in order to convince the audience that society has no problem with the disabled."

Abstract
This research paper investigates the development of sailing boat design and construction, providing a selective study of the history of sailing boats including their use, design and construction and evolution. The paper then offers an investigation of the development of computer technology for design purposes, which shows how the accessibility of computer hardware and the availability of software are major factors that enable their use as tools to aid the design process. Finally, a summary is provided as to when, where and how computer technology have been used in the design process of the case study and an evaluation of the previously discussed information regarding the application of computer technology in the design process. This research supports the theory that computers are an essential element to modern ship design.
From the Paper
"Boats are a tool that must be of use to human beings. Boats were first developed in response to certain social needs and as these needs changed so did boats, their design and usage. Boats are primarily for the purpose of transportation of people and goods, no matter what the final intent of the people, the role of the boat is always transportation. The following overview will examine how the use of ships has changed over time and how the design of ships have changed in reopens to changing needs. New technology has undoubtedly had an impact on the design of ships. It is the combination of these factors that have led to the advances in shipbuilding that embody the art as is today."

?Six Feet Under?, 2004.
A review of the television show, ?Six Feet Under?.
1,651 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how "Six Feet Under is unique among American television shows in its depiction of sex and gender. It examines how, because it is an HBO cable series, the writers are offered considerable leeway in the use of partial nudity and coarse language, and how, ironically, Alan Ball, the writer/executive producer/creator of "Six Feet Under", keeps the show relatively free of gender bias or stereotypes. It also looks at how depictions of sexuality in the series are realistic and tasteful, not nearly as sensationalized as they are often shown on network television. In particular, it shows how Episode 13, entitled ?Knock, Knock? reflects the mores, folkways, and values in American culture, including those that have to do with sexuality and gender.
From the Paper
"In the opening scene, a female executive is shown on a golf course, the casual business arena usually reserved for men. Yet she berates and taunts one of her managers, thus taking on the role of the man both in her body language on the course and in her speech. She shouts, ?Growth is the only thing that?s acceptable!? and later belches, both gestures that in American culture are considered to be masculine. Unfortunately, a woman in power is shown not to exhibit positive character traits. Rather, she has taken on the negativity, insensitivity, and immorality of her typical male counterparts. This scene is more a critique of corporate culture than it is of gender roles, but it remains unique in that depicts a total gender role reversal."

"Flower Feet", 2008.
An analysis of Ruth Fainlight's poem "Flower Feet".
947 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 0 sources, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper briefly analyzes and assesses Ruth Fainlight's memorable poem, "Flower Feet". In so doing, the paper looks at the physical shape of the poem, the curious decision by Fainlight to abandon many commonplace poetic devices (while still judiciously using others) and the powerful relevance of the poem even to today's world.
From the Paper
"One of the most obvious things about Ruth Fainlight's impressive poem is how the lines of the work vary in length; they are disjointed, in other words. For instance, the opening line of the poem has eight syllables in it; the second line has ten and the third line has eleven syllables. This uneven pattern is continued throughout the course of the poem and the unevenness of this sort of construction can be seen as a sort of metaphor for the inequality of forcing women into what amounts to crippled servitude just so that they can satisfy male ideals of what constitutes beauty and femininity.|"

?The Open Boat? and ?The Man with a Flower in his Mouth?, 2002.
Examines the portrayal of death in Stephen Crane's story "The Open Boat" and the play "The Man with the Flower in his Mouth" by Luigi Pirandello.

Abstract
This study compares and contrast the nature and dramatic significance of the confrontations with death of the main characters in Stephen Crane's story "The Open Boat" and Luigi Pirandello's play "The Man with the Flower in His Mouth." The study focuses on death as a frightening, enraging and appalling force for the two men in Pirandello's play and a violent and powerful force of nature in Crane's story.
From the Paper
"Crane's "The Open Boat" shows death to be a powerful force which is everywhere and cannot be denied or forgotten. Death in the form of the powerful sea confronts the four men in the story from beginning to end. Death waits for them in every thought as they consider trying to reach the shore. The men in the boat are simple men who must face death with no pretense, for their lives literally hang in the balance. They must either struggle to live, or prepare to die as best they can. The four individuals must not only deal with the very real possibility of their own deaths, but they must deal with the moral decision which may cost them their lives while saving the others' lives. The author seems to suggest that the Captain gave his life to make sure that the others survived (Crane 15)."

Death in ?The Visit? and ?The Man with the Flower in His Mouth?, 2002.
Examines and compares the theme of death in Friedrich Duerrenmatt's "The Visit" and Luigi Pirandello's "The Man with the Flower in His Mouth".
1,615 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 52.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Friedrich Duerrenmatt's "The Visit" and Luigi Pirandello's "The Man with the Flower in His Mouth" are allegorical plays in which certain characters confront death. The paper shows that the human - an allegorical figure of death - is, in both plays, a female character. In Pirandello's short piece she is the wife of a terminally ill man who follows him everywhere, but does not speak. In "The Visit", death comes in the form of Claire Zachanassian, the multimillionaire who returns to her hometown looking for revenge--or justice--for the sufferings she went through as a girl.
From the Paper
"In this idea of waiting for death at home, with time "measured by the ticking of the big clock in the dining room," is the notion that death should become part of life, which is symbolized by the clock and the passing of time (6). His wife, or death, is attempting to get him to integrate death with the rest of his experience. But he sees them as two completely separate things. Death is not the culmination of life but a terrible interruption that has nothing to do with living."
