Abstract
This paper discusses Giles Corey in the the Salem witch trials, which reveals that there was no legitimate case against him; rather, it appears that Corey was presumed to be guilty by mere association. The author points out that Corey did not help his case by refusing to plead one way or another, but records indicate that he was in what we commonly refer to today as a loose-loose situation. The paper concludes that Giles Corey is a significant figure in American history because his death illustrates the magnitude of mob mentality; his death, along with the deaths of the other so-called witches, should serve as a constant reminder of how not to behave when things begin to get complicated.
From the Paper
"Corey's testimony against his wife certainly did damage in many respects. According to Marion Starkey, Corey was a "blundering husband" who tried his best to tell the court the truth about Martha. This truth, Starkey notes, was "unimpressive, unconvincing." His testimony revealed that Corey "found it hard to pray when Martha was about and was in turned bothered by her own fluency in prayer." Not only did this testimony bring more doubt against his wife, many in the courtroom thought that "his very stupidity" might be a "mask for something else." Hoffer looks into the possibility that Corey might have been legitimately confused at his wife's trial. In all fairness, Hoffer notes that Corey was as "bewildered as anyone at the antics of the girls." It is understandable that his confusion regarding his wife was not only used against her but it was also used against him as well. "

From the Paper
"Existence and essence and the relationship between them was an issue among many that were argued about by the thinkers of the middle ages. Giles of Rome's theorem regarding essence and existence was controversial in that many opposed to it. His choosing of the word, res, was, according to many, a mistake. However, it was not completely the cause for opposition."

Abstract
The paper examines "Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions" where the authors focus on the issue of ethics in relationship to counseling professionals. The paper shows how the text is both a source of information and a tool that counselors can use in their development of personal ethical standards that will allow them to become more effective professionals.
From the Paper
"Corey, Corey and Callanan (2007) focus on the issue of ethics in relationship to counseling professionals. The purpose behind the text is to allow the counselor or student to explore ethics in a manner that can be applicable to real life situations and develop personal ethical standards that are essential for working with clientele. At the core of the ethical exploration suggested by the book, however, is Corey, Corey and Callanan's (2007) contention that all counselors must ultimately make determinations best on what solution will benefit the client over the long term (p. 1). According to Corey, Corey and Callanan (2007), taking this approach to ethics provides the most effective decisions, as well as answers that are based upon the counselor's purpose for functioning - the client's needs (p. 1)."

Abstract
This paper explains that there is a striking difference between Ronald Miao?s translation of ?Boudoir Thoughts? by Hsu Kan, which is closer to the text of the original, than the very Western-style translation by Herbert Giles. The author points out that, in Miao?s translation, the speaker seems to be mourning the loss of the beloved without blame or bitterness; whereas, in Giles?s reinterpretation, the speaker seems alienated from the beloved and filled with bitterness. The paper relates that the general tone of the poem in Miao?s translation is quieter and has more resigned speech; in Giles?s translation, the tone is far more exorbitant and uses passionate words.
From the Paper
"This difference begins when Giles addresses the clouds directly, as if they were human: ?O floating clouds... bear on your wings these words... Alas, you float along nor heed my pain, and leave me here...? Giles looks at the clouds and sees them as cruel beings who will betray and abandon the poet. Miao, on the other hand, uses the silence of the clouds as a way to show the scale of the poet in relationship to the world, and to express not abandonment but distance."

Abstract
This paper reviews three articles on the topic of teaching and learning; "Can Generation X-ers Be Trained?" by Shari Caudron, which focuses on training in the business environment; "A Tale of Four Learners" by Bernice McCarthy, which focuses on the school environment; and "Intergenerational Learning" by Corey Murray and David Bank, which focuses on the community college environment. The paper summarizes the articles and discusses ways in which they could be improved upon. The author also compares and contrasts the articles against one another.
From the Paper
"Having noted the above, the article could benefit from a clearer explication of different teaching methods that could work not only for the different groups, but for integrated groups as well. Another limitation is that the article differentiates between two age groups, without acknowledging that there could be learning style differences within a single age group. While therefore accepting that there could be different learning styles, the article still treats these somewhat simplistically."
