From the Paper
"William Friedkin's film The French Connection (1971) was not the first film to be shot on the streets of New York, nor was it the first realistic police drama to evoke those streets. Its success, however, assured that there would be a spate of such films over a period of years, and the style of the film influenced films and television shows for some time. The city of New York was featured in this film in an interesting way. The streets of New York had been the setting for films many times, though during the 1930 and 1940s those streets were usually simulated on a back lot in Hollywood. In 1948, that changed with the production of The Naked City, a film that was shot on the streets of New York and that made the city very much a character. The French Connection is a descendant of that earlier film. Both use similar techniques of cinema v?rit? camerawork to..."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The author of Hebrews points out that Moses deserved honor because he was faithful to his house. Jesus, however, deserved more honor because He built that house. Moses was a servant in his house, but Jesus was a son in the house. The Jews had a very high opinion of their religion, and the author was trying to make the point that the Christian religion was as worthy of consideration as Judaism; not only that, but the priesthood of Christianity was even superior to the Jewish priesthood. The author is trying to explain that the relationship between Jesus and the gospel is the same as the relationship between Moses and the law. Both Moses and Jesus were faithful in fulfilling ancient promises. Moses fulfilled the earthly promise God made to Abram about having his own nation. Jesus, however, fulfilled the spiritual promise God made as far back as Eden, as Adam and Eve were being expelled. Jesus fulfilled forty centuries of spiritual promises through His faithfulness."

Connection with God in the Works of Tennyson and Hopkins, 2006.
Examines similarities in the works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Gerald Manley Hopkins regarding a connection with God.
2,368 words (approx. 9.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 72.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
While Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "In Memoriam" and Gerald Manley Hopkins's sonnets appear to be complete opposites in terms of their development, both poets have a common theme involving a firm connection to God running throughout their works. The paper shows that, specifically, within the hopeful parts of their works, both poets relate to God through the same type of philosophy and dispel newly found scientific reasoning that the existence of man is but a meaningless and random occurrence using science's own language. It shows, too, that in the doubtful parts of their works, both connect to God through feeling him in their pain and woe.
Paper Outline:
I. Introduction
II. Hopkins's Philosophy in "God's Grandeur" and "As Kingfishers Catch Fire"
III. Tennyson's Philosophy in "In Memoriam" Part 95 and 118
IV. Hopkins Direct Connection to God through Suffering in "Carrion Comfort"
V. Tennyson's Connection to God through Suffering in Parts 1 and 124 of "In Memoriam"
VI. Conclusion
From the Paper
"This revelation (described by Tennyson in the footnote) is instated by the "repeating [of] my own name two or three times" similar to Hopkins's idea of instress, Tennyson describes entering a state of intense "consciousness of individuality" where he comes to a realization of man's place in the world as his individuality "seemed to dissolve and fade away into boundless being" (pg. 95, footnote 1). This boundless being matches closely with Hopkins's idea that when looking at any object's (including one's own) inscape a person sees God's plan and purpose for that object within the scheme of the time and the universe."

The Multi-Cultural Connection of Dance, 2005.
This paper discusses the multi-cultural connection of dance presented through 'divine love' in Kathak, Middle Eastern and Flamenco dancing.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, $ 35.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the Baile, Egyptian Cabaret, and Nritta represent a cross-cultural connection in world dance, which embodies the love that men and women share for each other. In this manner, the religious idioms of the cultures described here represent the manner of movement that depicts love, but through the sacred ideals of commitment and love. The writer points out that although these differ slightly in the accompaniment of dancers, or in the stylistics of the choreography, there is a archetypal cultural unifier that relates the desire and higher love of men and women across the world.
From the Paper
"This study examines the multi-cultural aspects of "divine love" in Kathak, Middle Eastern, and Flamenco dancing. Within these dances there is a greater blend of different cultural values that make up each of the formats of these dances. In this manner, the chain of influence upon the Kathak, Middle Eastern, and Flamenco dances offer a multi-cultural depiction of how dance is not created within the limitations of geographical boundaries. By understanding the cultural similarities based in these dances, one can realize the power of movement that is a commonality within the religious and divine nature of love. The Kathak dance is a religiously based dance that formally uses the divinity of love for Indian gods, and their dance in the Cosmos."

David Hume and the Idea Of Necessary Connection, 2008.
A review of the concepts of necessary connection in David Hume's essay, "An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding."
943 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 33.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes and reviews David Hume's essay, "An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding," in which he attempts to show what we do and do not know about causation. It analyzes Hume's arguments in his essay, particularly with respect to the idea of necessary connection and presents examples of how Hume's arguments can be applied to day-to-day life.
From the Paper
"Hume's Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a remarkable essay, and to grasp it fully requires maintaining the rigid intellectual distinctions that Hume did maintain. Again, his inquiry focuses on what we know about the world, not what the world is or how it behaves. Indeed, Hume concludes that what we know about the world is limited, and we must rely on our limited understanding to allow us to carry on our day-to-day affairs. Hume set himself apart from the rationalist metaphysicians, who wrestled with questions about the nature of the universe, whether or not there is a God, and the immortality of soul. Hume's inquiry was essentially a preliminary to this: how do we know what we know. How can we ask if there is a God if we cannot know what the causal connection is in the world around us."

Music: A Connection to the Divine, 2007.
This paper discusses music as a connection to the Divine, by looking at "Paradise" by Aligheri Dante and "The River Sutra" by Gita Mehta.
2,120 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 66.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that one could say that the written and spoken word describe the foreseen and that music describes the unforeseen. This relationship between music and spirituality is explored using two famous works. The first, Dante's "Paradise", is from Western culture and the other, "The River Sutra" by Gita Mehta, is from Eastern culture. The writer explains that both of these works describe a spiritual journey into the unknown. The writer notes that music is used to reference that which cannot be truly described using words alone. The essay supports the thesis that music is used as a means to connect the reader to the spiritual world in these two works. The writer concludes that one can learn much about the spiritual worlds of the East and West by examining the use of music in their works.
Outline:
Dante and Signaling the Eternal
The Boy Singer and the Path to Enlightenment
The Musician's Story
Transcendence
Works Cited
From the Paper
"Dante uses music to announce a holy event of great importance. The appearance of the divine is often signaled by music. One might notice that it is never Dante himself who is singing or making music, although in the opening Canto he does refer to his work as his song. Song and music are used to signal the appearance of the divine. Dante uses the imagery of music sparingly. Only a few of the heavenly beings that he encounters are heralded by song."
"Structurally, the appearance of music is carefully placed in such a way to give it an even greater meaning of importance. Paradise, like hell, is comprised of layers. Just as the layers in Hell become increasingly more evil, the three layers of heaven become more divine. One might notice that music is hardly mentioned in the first two Cantos, except when referring to his work as his song. When we examine the use of music in the remainder of the piece, this two may have been purposeful and an attempt to attach importance to the work itself."

From the Paper
"According to Meloy (2001), youth who murder their family or commit shooting sprees at their schools may be the type of predatory murderer described by Steiner above. In addition to a history of animal abuse, they have frequently been a victim of bullying and have fantasies where they compensate for the flaws they see in themselves in violent ways. They are often substance abusers and often fascinated with weapons. It is likely that they will feel both angry and dysphoric (Meloy, 2001), and may have narcissistic and/or paranoid tendencies. The compensatory fantasies may grandiose idea and careful planning rather than acting on impulse. Meloy reports that Luke Woodham, mentioned in the first paragraph, wrote, "I am not insane. I am angry. This world shit on me for the final time... I am not spoiled or lazy, for murder is not weak and slow-witted. Murder is gutsy and daring." He saw his crimes as self-validating."

"The emotion of fear is an essential part of human development and experience.

Various individuals can develop a wide range of fears towards many objects and situations, such as fear of heights and open spaces. However, while some fears can be considered a regular part of a healthy normal life, fears that are related to abuse and discriminatory situations can have a debilitating effect on the overall well-being of the individuals concerned (Owen, 1998, p. 483).

Abstract
This paper examines the connection between violence and sexuality. The writer discusses the belief that violence and sexuality are very closely related.
From the Paper
"Violence and sexuality are closely related on several levels. Although either can exist completely independently of the other they are often found in conjunction with one another so an affinity obviously exists between them that deserves exploration. Violence is most often the result of anger, unreasoning rage to be exact. The rage though, has a source of its own, it is the result of fear. Many violent people have been the victims of violence themselves at some point often through rape ... "

An Ethical Analysis of "Pepsi's Burma Connection"., 2002.
Ethical analysis of the problem Pepsico had with its investment in Burma and the processes which led to the resolution of the problem.

Abstract
The case of PepsiCo's investment in Burma represents a particularly profitable subject for ethical case analysis given that the process which led to the resolution of the problem was not clear and orderly, but was rather one of fits and starts, with very human hesitations and compromises, before a final outcome was agreed upon. The moral issue facing PepsiCo was whether or not to divest its interests in Burma. PepsiCo had three alternative actions: to do nothing and retain its interests in Burma; to publicly sell its interests while covertly maintaining a financial interest in Burma; to completely sell its interests in Burma. PepsiCo attempted to take all three routes.

The Connection Between Being Good and Being Happy, 2006.
A review of Aristotle's approach to being good.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Aristotle approached the issue of being good. He determined that a single act of goodness did was not sufficient to determine whether or not an individual was good. The paper further discusses how in committing a single act of goodness there was no true reflection of the individual's entire life as a good person. Therefore the only way to measure the goodness of a person would be at the end of life when all of the activities of the individual could be examined and a complete evaluation of goodness could be determined as reflected in the individual inner personality or soul.

Abstract
This paper looks at the history of science and how it links with religious beliefs. The author discusses the works of Sir Isaac Newton, Descartes, Galileo, Kepler, Darwin, Einstein, how their discoveries were looked upon by religious institutions and by society, starting during the early Renaissance up until modern times.
From the Paper
" The gap between science and religion is one that has been claimed for many years. Often times, this misconception of the relationship of science and religion is created by subjective views of history. While it does hold some historical accuracy, it is not necessarily the whole truth. In actuality, the roles of science and religion in society over the past few hundred years have been proven deeply entwined, even when holding opposing views."
