The paper discusses his personal successes, as well as the general ones to the industry.
From the Paper
"Film Studies: Understanding the Cause and Effect of the Success of Film Director: George Lucas This film study will examine the role of George Lucas within the business and filming causal factors that brought about his enormous success in the filming industry. In creating his classic Star Wars, Lucas had the financial and copyright incentives to allow him to "bank roll" his own films. In this manner, Lucas was able to pioneer a new way of viewing the financial background of filmmaking, but more importantly, was able to create Industrial Light and Magic and his own merchandising approach to filmmaking history. By actively using a business and biographical analysis of director George Lucas, one can realize the depth and importance of his work in modern American film history. Gorge Lucas was born in 1944 in Modesto, California."

George Caitlin Stories, 2002.
Comparing two books telling the story of George Caitlin, an American writer and painter, in two completely different ways -"Paintbrush & Peacepipe: The Story of George Catlin", by Anne Rockwell and "George Catlin and the Old Frontier", by Harold McCracken
2,795 words (approx. 11.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 83.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows that even though the two books tell the same life story of Caitlin, each one differs most significantly in tone and style according to the vastly different audiences to which each is directed. Rockwell's book was intended for children - less pages and more illustration, whereas McCracken's book presents itself as a very authoritive piece on Caitlin's life in an artbook format.
From the Paper
"The first book, Paintbrush and Peacepipe, 86 small pages in length, with 8 brief chapters and 15 illustrations, is written for children. By comparison, the second book, George Catlin and the Old Frontier, with its 209 oversized pages might seem a vastly superior presentation of George Catlin's biography. The artbook format of McCracken's work, with its 36 color and 118 black and white illustrations, is far more authoritative and detailed in its representation of the scope of Catlin's art. Yet, Paintbrush & Peacepipe, in it's minimalist manner is a highly educational and effective piece of work."

Abstract
This essay applies the theories contained in Barber's book Presidential Character, to George W. Bush and investigates which personality profile he fits into. The author analyzes whether he is active, positive, passive or negative. Includes an in-depth look into the Bush's formative years.
From the Paper
"In his book Presidential Character, James Barber outlines certain characteristics, traits and life experiences which he feels produce particular types of presidents. Depending on these characteristics, traits and experiences, he then provides the reader with four possible categories within which to place the candidate. By ascertaining which category a contender falls into, Barber maintains that society can and should judge their suitability for presidential office. A major element in ascertaining a candidate?s category is the study of their personality. Barber feels that personality is ?patterned?, meaning that character, worldview and style all work together in its creation. Once one has an in-depth knowledge of a candidate?s personality, one is able to analyze how they would react and interact with current world forces, events and issues. Barber also stresses the importance of researching the president?s childhood and the environment in which their personality was shaped, through to the initial important decisions made in adult life."

Steffler's George Cartwright, 2002.

Abstract
This paper is a character analysis of Steffler's main character in "The Afterlife of George Cartwright". It focuses on the character's traits of unloving, wild, a corruptor and himself corrupted and how they change within the novel. Cartwright begins as a just young man in the army and becomes what he had always hated, a true corruptor of society.
From the Paper
"When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters" (Hemingway, 95). Steffler achieves the creation of a person in the character of George Cartwright by blending numerous personality traits. These traits can be both pleasant, and upsetting, and either creates distance or closeness between Cartwright and the other characters. In order to make the character more realistic Steffler creates a progression in some of these traits, to create the illusion of growth in Cartwright over the span of his lifetime. Paradoxically, everything Cartwright claims to hate he later embodies. This is not entirely of his accord; his early years in the army set up his adult characteristics. His development is from a man of pride and ambition, although rough and rugged, to an uncivilized corruptor of native society. His pride and ambition are spoiled when he realizes that it is wealth that buys you promotions in the army and not skill or hard work. He grows to become the man Steffler portrays as unloving, wild, and as both corrupted and as a corruptor. "

Abstract
This paper explores the work of conceptual artist Sarah Lucas. It argues that Lucas challenges gender stereotypes and the image of the "anguished male artist." The paper looks at conceptual art as an oppositional process.
From the Paper
"Sarah Lucas is known for her provocative work. Using mundane objects such as food and furniture, she takes words and images and transforms them into metaphors for sexual objects. Ready-made food and furniture are imbued with new meaning. The innocence of the original object becomes something else entirely. The objects imbued with new meaning carry with them crude and sexual connotations. Sarah Lucas goes against the grain. In addition, through her work that emphasizes the ordinary person in ordinary surroundings she challenges the..."

7,692 words (approx. 30.8 pages), 16 sources, MLA, $ 167.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper critically and comprehensively focuses on both the rise and fall of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) using as case-studes, comparative literature from mainly the UK and the U.S. It also draws on experiences from the developing world. Since the world has become more technologically advanced and globalized, State-Owned enterprises (SOEs) have new roles that sometimes conflict with the fundamental objectives for which they were originally set up. This paper discusses constaints and problems and recommendations for SOEs to overcome the difficulties they face in today's world.
From the Paper
"According to Hughes, Zeckhauser and Horn, there are agency problems that result from the application of Principal Agent Theory, (which is a microeconomic theory), to the public sector. The problem relates to that of ownership and control. Problems arise as regards whether if the enterprise is publicly owned, it will deliver goods and services more efficiently than the private enterprise. There is the problem in the public sector, according to Hughes, where it is difficult to establish who is the principal whether government or the public versus who is the agent. According to Zeckhauser and Horn, SOEs pay little attention to the interests of their taxpayer shareholders, and instead pay a great deal of attention to suppliers, consumers and employees, who can influence their management to grant them favours over the taxpayers (in Hughes, ibid 1994, p.139)."

Abstract
The paper addresses the insufficient and poorly managed parking at the George Brown College and relates that these parking problems can have a long-term negative impact on the overall reputation of the college and can impact student registration levels. The paper's authors undertook an informal survey of students and then conclude that the George Brown College should implement the recommendations of the students who live with the shortcomings of the campus parking issue on a daily basis. The paper itself recommends allocating funding for the construction of an underground parking facility.
Outline:
Introduction
Goals & Objectives
Background
Survey Results
Respondent Observations
Conclusions & Recommendations
From the Paper
"The campus of George Brown College has a recognized problem with parking for student and staff alike. Not only is their insufficient parking at the George Brown College, Saint James campus, but the parking that does exist is poorly managed and unfairly mediated by campus parking services. It has been determined that unless these issues are rectified in an equitable manner, they will manifest a long-term negative impact on the overall reputation of the college as well as potentially impact student registration levels. The fact of this negative impact of parking services on long-term student enrolment and performance has been substantiated in other academic research studies which have shown that such issues as campus parking form an important component of the overall academic environment of a college or university that directly impacts both student and institutional performance (Karemera, Reuben & Sillah). These issues should be taken very seriously by the college administration at risk of long-term enrolment and viability."

King George III and Machiavelli's "Prince", 2004.
Explains why King George III was a living model of Machiavelli?s ?The Qualities of a Prince?.
700 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 24.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The basic premise in Machiavelli?s ?The Qualities of a Prince? states that as long as a prince is not hated, his subjects will be loyal and his reign successful. Therefore, the abuses outlined in ?The Declaration of Independence? coincide with the attributes listed by Machiavelli of an unsuccessful prince. One can tell by the tone in which ?The Declaration of Independence? is written that King George III is hated by the colonists. On more than one occasion, Thomas Jefferson refers to the King as a tyrant. This paper discusses how King George III?s actions support Machiavelli?s claim that a prince is most hated when he, among other things, disrespects the land and women of his subjects, deprives men of their honor, and shows excessive cruelty.
From the Paper
"Machiavelli states, ?so long as you do not deprive them of ?their honor, the majority of men live happily? (Machiavelli, ?The Qualities of a Prince?, 48). Comparatively, Thomas Jefferson also lists grievances that pertain to men being deprived of their honor ?By [constraining] our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their County, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands? (Thomas Jefferson, ?The Declaration of Independence?, 80). King George III stripped men taken captive of all honor and dignity by making them choose to either murder their family or take their own life. King George III also deprived the colonists ?the benefits of Trial by Jury? (80). The fact that King George III repeatedly ?called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures? (79) is quite demeaning in a society governed by Representation."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the effectiveness of George III's leadership in England during the 18th century. The author discusses the king's loss of the American colonies, England's financial difficulties and his policies during the American Revolution and the Seven Years War. The paper also discusses King George's bouts of insanity.
From the Paper
"King George III may be one of the most maligned and most understood leaders in the history of England. He is most infamous for losing the American colonies, waging wars against the French and Spanish, and ultimately going insane. However, many of the mistakes King George III allegedly made may just be products of unfortunate circumstances of the time. King George III may just have been King of England at the wrong time in world history. King George III was the King of England when they had no choice but to be involved in certain controversies that put their country in debt. This debt forced the king to pass tax laws onto the colonists of the America, which led to the Revolutionary War."

George Washington, 2004.
This paper discusses George Washington?s political leadership.
2,230 words (approx. 8.9 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, judging from his historical record, George Washington was not a leader who avoided taking the initiative to make important and effective snap decisions during trying times of crisis. The author points out that Washington was perhaps among the greatest of the American presidents in the area of moral authority. His leadership was informed by a staunch morality that provided the general public with a near-mythical model of correct speech and action. The paper states that George Washington?s policy on international relations shows he was a leader who was well aware of the world around him, and his first international objective concerned the setup of friendly foreign relations for the peaceful continuance of American national growth.

From the Paper
"While the slow building of Hamiltonian Federalism and Jeffersonian
Republicanism was too gradual and inevitable to really be called a crisis, the eventual clash of the two forces was, in that it split the country into two distinct halves: the industrialized northeast and the agrarian south. In the south, a form of aristocracy was growing up more around an agrarian economy of bartering than an industrial economy of liquid capital. The president was pressed by Thomas Jefferson, a representative of the blue-blooded south; and Alexander Hamilton, a man of humble beginnings who had made a name for himself through his genius and financial acumen. Washington did the best that he could to see both sides of the story, and when he instituted a federalized bank, it was assumedly with reservations concerning the negative reactions his friend."

Timothy George's "The Theology of the Reformers", 2006.
This paper analyzes "The Theology of the Reformers" by Timothy George, which presents the lives and teachings of three great religious reformers: Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli and Menno Simons.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in his book "The Theology of the Reformers", Timothy George does not avoid presenting difficulties to believers but assists the reader in gaining faith and knowledge of God through the reformers. The author presents in detail the lives and beliefs of Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwinglu, who is considered the most important reformer in the Swiss Protestant Reformation and the only major reformer of the 16th century whose movement did not evolve into a church, and Menno Simons, who is the founder of a loosely related group of Reformation believers known today as Mennonites. The paper states that all three reformers were presented in a sympathetic light; however, George does not stop from showing the reformers belligerently holding on to their divisive approaches to the sacraments, when compromise or at least temporary concession may have been better for the church at large.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Martin Luther
Huldrych Zwingli
Menno Simons
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Martin Luther was a Christian theologian and Augustinian monk whose teachings inspired the Protestant Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines of Protestant and other Christian traditions. Martin Luther was born to Hans and Margaretha Luder on 10 November 1483 in Eisleben, Germany and was baptized the next day on the feast of St. Martin of Tours. Luther's call to the Church to return to the teachings of the Bible resulted in the formation of new traditions within Christianity and the Counter-Reformation in the Roman Catholic Church, culminating at the Council of Trent."

Abstract
This paper describes the organizational behavior of Livingston Enterprises. It discusses the four types of organizations that can be created and that serve as the basis of an organization's behavior - the autocratic philosophy, the custodial philosophy, the supportive organization and the collegial organization. The paper then discusses organizational culture and its affect on a business. Finally, the paper explains that the culture of the collegial organization is the type of organizational culture that Livingston Enterprises must work toward accomplishing in order to achieve their business goals.
From the Paper
"Yet, both types of groups have leaders and they have members who believe that they are important elements within the group. However, informal groups can affect formal groups because members of one informal group may be members of many formal groups. Furthermore, if the members of the informal group determine that they are unsatisfied within the company, their attitudes and behaviors will eventually affect all of the organizational members and the informal group will continue to expand (Sims, 2002, p. 168). Therefore, in formal or informal groups there is a need for the group members to be capable of interacting and to share their ideas freely. This action creates a support system for the employees that should also support the organization and promote a positive organizational behavior."
