Abstract
This paper discusses how perseverance is what motivates a person to keep trying after being defeated over and over again. It covers the stories of Winston Churchill, Barack Obama, and Dan Millman in demonstrating how perseverance enabled them to achieve their goals. The writer also includes his own personal experience with persevering and discusses what it means to him.
From the Paper
"People who have lived through events requiring perseverance can always voice their opinions or feelings on what it is and why it is important. Some of the most important historical figures in the 19th and 20th centuries have things to say which will be remembered for eternity. The historically famous American general Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Allied commander of the Pacific during World War II, said "Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul" (qtd. In ThinkExist.com). While the passing of time makes the human body weaker and frailer after a while, quitting something can destroy someone's soul and the will to go on. MacArthur most likely realized giving up was not an option in his battles against the Japanese. Winston Churchill, one of the most magnanimous and praised world leaders in history also felt what MacArthur experienced. "

Joy Harjo's Poem, "I Give You Back", 2000.
A new criticism look at Joy Harjo?s poem ?I Give You Back? .

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper briefly analyzes the poem ?I Give You Back,? using New Criticism methods, which shows how the poem makes use of the paradox of fear to convey the idea that the narrator is taking back the control over her life from an emotion that has dominated her for too long.
From the Paper
"An underlying paradox is that the narrator uses fear to rationalize her negative experiences in life. She blames fear for having ?raped and sodomized my brothers and sisters? and for stealing ?the food from our plates when we were starving? (Lines 10-12). This paradox can be interpreted as that either her fear of others prevented her from actually stopping them from abusing her relatives, or figuratively that people?s fear of pain or punishment impedes them from stopping the abuse and starvation of their fellow beings.

"Giving Things Names", 2004.
A brief analysis of S.I. and Alan Hayakawa's book, "Giving Things Names."
858 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 30.95

Abstract
In "Giving Things Names", S.I. and Alan Hayakawa argue that the words that we use to classify things originate in our reactions to them, but that these classifications can also act to define our understanding. The paper explains how they carefully develop their thesis by using examples and move from the general to the specific in order to create a logical basis for their potentially controversial discussion of 'race', 'nationality', and classification.
From the Paper
"Hayakawa and Hayakawa take a number of carefully reasoned steps in order to develop their thesis. First, they use a relatively simple example to illustrate how things come to be named based upon what they mean to us. They give the example of a village where a number of animals live. These animals are either large or small, and have round or square heads, or curly or straight tails. One villager notices the small animals eat grain, and names these animals gogo. Another villager notes that the ones with square heads bite, and names these daba, while a third villager notes that the ones with curly tails kill snakes, and names these busa (paragraph 2). Here, each animal is named based on what it means to the person who named it."

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of how the poem shows the speaker?s conflict in overcoming her old, reliable dependence on fear and her bravery in attempting to redeem her life from fear.
From the Paper
"The quality of the speaker?s existence has been handicapped by the presence of her insecurities. As in the old clich?, she is afraid of her own shadow. Now she is ready to give up her shadow; but what is the outcome of taking such an action? Will she be crushed by the loss of her old, familiar coping mechanism? Is the speaker really in the process of freeing herself from her own worst enemy - herself? "

Award-Giving Bodies, 2007.
A comparative analysis of the Academy Awards (Oscars) and MTV Movie Awards (MTV-MA).

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides a comparative analysis of the Academy Awards and MTV-MA as award-giving bodies. The paper posits that both award-giving bodies have similarities and differences that arise from the culture, audience, commercial value and socio-political relevance of the movies and processes that each award-giving body undergoes. The paper in general attributes specific segments of American culture as the primary driver that distinguishes the Oscars from the MTV-MA.
From the Paper
"These award-giving programs have their own niche and place at the spectrum of American entertainment. The Academy Awards' image differs radically from the MTV Movie Awards, though both programs enjoy popularity and renown not only in the entertainment business, but more specifically because of their influence in American culture. The Academy Awards' (referred to from now on as the Oscars) and MTV-MA's (MTV Movie Awards) importance is based, then, on their relevance to the entertainment business and the general public (as the audience and patrons of the entertainment business)."

American Intervention in the Middle East Conflict: Does America Give Israel Special Treatment?, 2002.
A discussion of the influence of American policy on the Middle East conflict.
2,168 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 67.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of American policy support for Israel on the Arab-Israeli conflict. It acknowledges America's identity as a super-power, and as such, its ability to be a determining factor in the success of a foreign national agenda. The discussion explores the issue of American support for the Israeli cause.
From the Paper
"As World War II drew to a close, and the planet was forced into a recalibration of unprecedented proportions, the United States began its long emergence as the most expansive super-power that had yet been known. Its influence, that would compete virulently with the post-war Soviet influence for half a century, has since disseminated into every facet of the geopolitical theatre. As such, American support can operate as the determining factor in the success of a national agenda."

Giving Voice to the Oppressed of Society, 2008.
An analysis of the impact of poor social justice within a society, both to the individual and to the society as a whole.
1,616 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews five reasons why dispossessed and oppressed individuals should have a voice in society. Specifically, the paper looks at the social costs that attend failing to pay attention to the needs of these individuals and at the poor public policy that flows from ignoring the dispossessed. Finally, the paper explores the ethical and moral issues that come with overlooking the less-fortunate and considers the impact upon the reputation of a society if it fails to offer social justice in its own land while hectoring others abroad about their human rights record.
From the Paper
"At the level of the individual, the costs associated with not heeding the voices of the down-trodden can be very grim, indeed. For one thing, people who struggle with their sense of self and who lack a strong sense of self-empowerment are people who are much more susceptible to thoughts of suicide (Martin, 2006). At the same time, people who feel as though they cannot change their lives for the better - in no small measure because no one seems to care what they think - are people who are very much likely to fall prey to mental illness - such as depression (Laitinen et al, 2006). Thus, there are compelling reasons why, at the level of the individual, people need to be given a sense that they are not viewed as ciphers by others and that their needs will be accepted as genuine."

Gifts and Bartering, 2007.
This paper examines how gift giving and bartering represent two of the many ethical problems that can occur in the delivery of counseling services.
1,105 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, because gift giving and bartering can interfere with the power relationship between the counselor and client, professional organizations and licensing authorities place strict guidelines on the acceptance of gifts in these practices. The author points out that gift giving in the therapeutic environment may represent issues, such as a perceived imbalance in the professional relationship or as a tip, homage or sacrifice for professional services. The paper discusses a model for assessing a gift-giving situation and determining an appropriate response based on the interaction of therapeutic meaning and significance and ethical concerns. The paper also explains that, although bartering can be appropriate in the cases of economically deprived clients and may be used as a therapeutic tool, it can present significant therapeutic and ethical concerns due to its inherent nature to produce dual relationships.

Gifts
Bartering
From the Paper
"Most therapists do not view client's gifts of small value as an ethical problem; however, expensive and inappropriate gifts are universally viewed as an ethical problem. Despite the gift, therapists need to evaluate all gifts on a case by case basis to establish the client's potential motivations and clinical implications. The client's personality, culture, economic status, and history need to be evaluated. A client may simply offer a gift as a ritualistic gesture during a holiday or as a means to express gratitude. Such gifts usually enhance the therapeutic alliance."
