Abstract
This paper explains that, although most Christians, in the 21st century, are not aware of one of the best Christian writers of the 20th century, Gilbert K.Chesterton, almost every single person has been influenced by him in some way. The author points out that Chesterton's writing was not limited to religious inspiration but also Gandhi cited Chesterton as a source of inspiration in his struggle to free India from Britain. The paper stresses that, in order to understand the particular power of "Heretics", it is important to realize that Chesterton wrote this book because he clearly was alarmed by the then-modern trend that led people to disavow religious affiliations.

From the Paper
"Chesterton goes on to discuss Bernard Shaw. First, Chesterton points out that Shaw's critics, who describe Shaw as similar to a chameleon and able to change at a moment's notice, are wrong, and that Shaw is actually very consistent. According to Chesterton, Shaw's oratory and reasoning power consists in applying a consistent standard to anything and everything that he encounters. However, he also points out that Shaw has failed to see things as they are. This failure to see things as they are is something that Chesterton attributes to Shaw's concept of the Superman."

Abstract
This paper explains that Pramtex has lost one of the most significant and influential Japanese customers, Kimura, and risks losing other business opportunities in the Asian market because of negative fallout of Pramtex's relation with Kimura. The paper considers whether Pramtex can possible save retain Kimura as a customer and save its image among other Asian corporations. The author concludes that Kimura could be re-included in Pramtex's portfolio; however, the time needed for this achievement is going to be quite long because the Japanese company's bitter taste is too recent to be forgotten. The paper stresses that all employees of the company must understand that appropriate interactions with partners are an issue that has at least equal importance to having the best products.

From the Paper
"Pramtex's main problem is Kimura's refusal to place a second order for three more Spartacus machines. Despite being enthusiastic about the quality and quantity of the outcome achieved by the new system implemented at the factory in Osaka, Mr. Kimura, the company's president, chooses to opt for other manufacturers in order to purchase the machines needed at his factory in Taiwan. The fax that John Reef (product manger and Pramtex representative in Japan) receives is quite confusing because it doesn't contain the reasons for such a sudden change of attitude."

Abstract
This paper reviews the book "The Resurrection of Father Brown" by G.K. Chesterton and examines how the author presents a variety of characters, each representing a certain social and political faction and its related interests. In particular it shows how he presents two pairs of characters, one North American and one South American, to create a context of comparison and contrast and how through these characters Chesterton creates both the argument against and the defense for the role of the Church in colonial lands. It examines how Chesterton tries to reverse the notion that Catholic missions exploit the innocence and ignorance of native people by suggesting a deeper plot of exploitation perpetrated by the convergence of various conflicting factions.
From the Paper
"The first and most important character we meet in the story, the American newspaper man, Paul Snaith, displays what can in many ways, be considered a typical North American attitude. Beginning with his opinion of the ?natives,? he displays opinions symbolic of the American outlook. Displaying an infamous indifference towards other peoples and cultures, Snaith, upon encountering the locals, ?would probably have described them as natives, though some of them were very proud of their Spanish blood. But he was not one to draw any fine distinction between Spaniards and Red Indians, being rather disposed to dismiss people from the scene when once he had convicted them of being native to it (94).?

Why Lying is Wrong: An Ethical Perspective, 2008.
This paper discusses the morality of lying and attempts to determine the ethical explanation for the claim that lying is wrong.
739 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the morality and ethics behind lies. It bases its discussion on three different sources, which are attached in the appendix. The paper states that although there is nearly universal agreement in human societies that lying is wrong, most people instinctively know that they should not tell lies, but they do not really understand the ethics-based foundation of why lying is wrong. A close examination leads the paper to the conclusion that while lying is ethically and morally wrong in most conceivable cases, there do seem to be conditions and circumstances in which lying is not wrong.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, examining these different ethical perspectives on lying and taking into account various contributing factors indicates that while lying is ethically and morally wrong in most conceivable cases, there do seem to be conditions and circumstances in which lying is not wrong. Some philosophers have argued that it even appears to be the case that in relatively rare circumstances, not lying would be morally and ethically wrong. But these are exceptions to the prevailing ethical and moral standard that lying is wrong."

"The Man Who Was Thursday", 2004.
This paper discusses the use of metaphor in the book, "The Man Who Was Thursday", by G.K Chesterton, and a look at what inspired the author.

Abstract
This paper explains how Chesterton's Catholic background had much to do with his inspiration for writing this story. It examines how the connections to the Book of Genesis, as well as the Book of Job, run deep and how there is more than one question to be answered after reading this story.
From the Paper
"The Man Who Was Thursday? is subtitled ?A Nightmare?, which gives some hinting towards the ultimate explanation of the story, but it does nothing to help with the deciphering of the extensive use of metaphors contained within the twisted tale. From start to finish the elements of the story were chosen carefully to extract the maximum amount of meaning and manipulation towards the ultimate goal of the author. Upon reading the story, you are bombarded with some believable and some rather unbelievable plot twists. As the story progresses further in to the ?nightmare? the story grows more and more bizarre until it loses control. The last chapter?s nighttime party in the garden is full of questions and visions that grow more and more vivid, as dreams do, when the dreamer grows closer to waking. As William Morton Payne put it, in his review in 1908, ?like most dreams, the story grows more wildly impossible as the awakening is neared."

Emmanuel Kant and Lying, 2008.
A comparison of Emmanuel Kant's categorical imperative and utilitarianism with regards to lying.
955 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Emmanuel Kant's philosophy on lying and compares it to the philosophy of utilitarianism. It describes Kant's categorical imperative and how it can be utilized in a situation that may involve lying. The paper presents a case where there is a question of whether to lie or not and discusses the possible philosophies of how to deal with the dilemma.
From the Paper
"At first, utilitarianism seems perfect for resolving such a dilemma. The problem is that the utilitarian is focused only on happiness, and happiness in this dilemma is false. The person's happiness also is just temporary and will end sooner or later, anyway. For a person who is faced with such a dilemma, the most helpful idea is Kant's categorical imperative. The reason is that it shows a practical point about human beings. It is not always wrong to lie because sometimes the truth is as bad as or worse than the lie. The only way to make a decision is to ask whether what we will do should be done by all individuals who happen to be faced with the same dilemma. When we are faced with an impossible or really difficult situation, then the categorical imperative provides a means to deal with that dilemma."

Abstract
This paper argues that lying in business cannot be justified, even if it is to protect trade secrets. The paper uses two high profile cases as examples: Martha Stewart's case where she was found guilty of insider trading and the Enron scandal which involved the entire financial assets of the company.
From the Paper
"Some executives justifying to protect trade secrets or to maintain a competitive advantage that could affect their ability to remain profitable. There are those, however, who feel that lying calls an individual's-or a company's-integrity into question. If a company is willing to lie about its product, or its plans or in its advertising what else does it lie about? This research examines two recent high-profile instances of company executives caught lying and concludes that lying by company officials cannot be justified."

Lying, 2004.
Examines situations that cause people to lie, even unintentionally.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Research demonstrates that most of us lie, sometimes several times a day or even more. This is surprising to people who think of themselves as honest and forthright. The paper defines a lie before branching out into other issues linked to the concept, such as white lies, factors which affect how and why people lie, and gender differences.
From the Paper
"One particularly difficult situation regarding lying involves a situation where a superior wants a subordinate to lie for him or her. In one informal survey, 82% of women using one website said that their bosses often asked them to lie for them, for instance, telling callers that the boss was unavailable. 91% were asked to lie to their boss?s equals, such as partners, about the boss?s presence or absence in the office (Staff writers, PG)."

The Truth about Lying, 2001.
A study of deception focusing on sexual and criminal misrepresentation.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 7 sources, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay uses a number of well researched case studies to explore individuals who pose or represent themselves as characters other than themselves. It also discusses how those around them are wilingl to believe often ridiculous claims if it is beneficial to them. The case studies include carefully calculated deceptions, self-delusional fantasies and blatantly criminal representations driven by damaged self esteem.
From the Paper:
"The comedian Robin Williams once said, ?I?ve investigated reality, and there?s really nothing to it.? While this is just another glib comment in that wild comic?s repertoire, the remark certainly applies to three items used in comparison in this essay. For the cord that ties Garfinkel?s Story of Agnes, Carrere?s downright bizarre account of the true story of Jean-Claude Romand, Baudrillard?s views on hyper-reality, and the personal ad placed by the blue-eyed blonde, all focus not just on the issue of deception itself, but on the self-perception of the individual, society?s perception of the individual, and how (and to what extent) some people base their sense of reality on a fa?ade in order to placate their own egos and/or society itself."

Abstract
This is a contemporary political paper dealing with one of Glenn Tinder's perennial questions. It questions whether the government has the duty to act as morally as it expects its citizens to act, and if not, where the limitations are.
From the Paper
"Tinder describes moral relativism as ?the theory that morality is determined by and is in that sense relative to some variable circumstance, such as the desires of the individual or the needs of the society.? If morality is determined by circumstance then governing body may react to situations differently than a private individual. This is a permissible premise for a society to build on for many reasons. These reasons include but are not limited to possibilities such as ending war, helping underprivileged groups, successful operation of the government, and general preservation of the state."
