Abstract
This paper starts with an overview of the United State's Green Party's history, including the influence of the European Green Parties, environmentalism, student protests, etc. It then analyzes the rise in popularity of this party since the first election when it ran a presidential candidate, looking at percentage increases in members and elected officials and public opinion of the party. The paper credits this rise to the merging of the Democratic and Republican parties platforms into vague and empty promises and also attributes its popularity to selected environmental issues found in the party's platform.
From the Paper
"After years of development, nonpartisan actions, and progressive policies, the Green Party of the United States has emerged as a persuasive political party whose popularity increases every year. The Green Party was formed to defend such key issues as the environment, human equality, and other forms of global justice. By employing actions and policies that differentiate itself from the Democratic and Republican Parties, the Green Party is able to expand its membership and influence on politics."

Abstract
The 1990s, in particular, was a time when environmentalists and nonenvironmentalists came to bitter loggerheads regarding the fate of the earth's natural resources. This paper shows how governments responded to pressure from both sides in a bid to appease the needs of both sides; the Greens demanded the protection of rare species and forests, and the corporations required resources to make a profit and provide employment and food for millions of people.
From the Paper
"Here it is the local Indian traditions of vegetarianism, and non-violence that work toward the tiger?s preservation as a species. The Vice-President of India?s statement underscores the need for local peoples to look toward their own traditions for answers to environmental and other questions. Problems are seen as being imposed from the outside, and thus, to be successful, the solutions must not be viewed in the same way. By appealing to traditional Hindu values, the current Indian government can counter the conflicting claims that some tigers turn man-eater, or that old and weak tigers decimate the small flocks and herds that are among the few possessions of impoverished peasants."

Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which German political parties and especially the Greens have, since reunification and increasingly so during the past five years, become increasingly less radical and increasingly more institutionalized. This paper also asks to what extent this process of institutionalization of the party has been more or less effective as an advocate for sound environmental policy on both local and national levels.

From the Paper
"For Americans, the image of the Green Party is one that is at least a little on the fringe: Conservatives tend to think of the Greens as being a group of tree-hugging alfalfa-sprout munching brainless do-gooders while liberals are most likely to remember the Green Party candidacy of Ralph Nader in 2000 that many believe cost the Democratic Party the White House. But in Germany?s parliamentary system, the Green Party has found a more welcome home. It has been able to forward environmental causes for a number of years. However, as this paper explores, its ability to serve as the voice of progressive causes has been blunted to some extent since reunification as the party has shifted rightwards."

"Radical environmentalism is a term that calls up images of subversive maneuvers performed by those with extremist views who give no quarter to the governments and corporations that persist in polluting the earth and squandering its resources. But much of the force of the word "radical" (or even "environmentalism") is a function of the individual's perspective. Radical environmentalism has two strands that occasionally interact and are, in general terms, "those who favor the preservation of nature for nature's sake and those who wish only to maintain the environment as the necessary habitat of humankind" (Lewis 17). The first are the so-called "deep ecology" movement, or movements, whose adherents stress the principles of "biospherical egalitarianism" in a platform described by Devall and Sessions as based on the proposition that "the well-being and flourishing of..."

Western European and English Political Parties, 2004.
This paper discusses Western European and English political parties, based on the assumptions of Rokkan?s and Lipset?s freezing hypothesis.

Abstract
This paper explains that Lipset and Rokkan based their freezing hypothesis on the assumption that if men were given equal right to vote, then a level of social freezing would take place, limiting the emergence of oppositional parties. The author believes that, although much interpretation of mass politics in Western Europe is derived from Rokkan?s and Lipset?s freezing hypothesis, this approach suffers from two problems: it pays little attention to the underlying values, as opposed to issues, which inform class and religious, and treats the relationship between social divisions and party politics as too deterministic, leaving little room for the human element in political movements, political leadership. The paper stresses the proof the freeze hypothesis needs to be reconsidered can be found in the success of alternative parties in Western Europe and England, such as the Green party.
From the Paper
"For the radical right party , or of Germany, this means appropriating the dominant concept that they are the true measure of the nation and nationhood. The parties which develop a ?radical right? position market themselves as nationalist, those who stand for the true values and priorities of the nation. The alternative parties, such as the Green party in England, tend to cast themselves as the respresenters of interests which are being ignored by the tradidional parties. By the efforts of these radical interest parties, minority interests have been able to move from the being perceived as a radical poitical fringe group to a party which is accepted in the mainstream. Because of the radical right's claim to represent ordinary people against an allegedly corrupt political class, their nationalistic counter-discourse cannot be too far from traditional concepts of nationhood that are available as cultural symbols to large segments of the public. As a result, the radical right dramatizes the vulnerability of the nation in times of a real or presumed crisis. During a time when traditional nationalism is at a low ebb, the alternative parties are able to make large in roads into the public consciousness."

From the Paper
"One of the first goals of establishing a supplier's sustainability relationship management program is to develop a sense of purpose for the organization. The organization itself must be living up to a certain code of conduct with regard to environmental goals in order to utilize supplier's commitments as a key in such a goal. In other words the company must determine what about "green" production is important to them in order to determine what is important to them in a supplier. Once this has been determined then the company must succinctly express such details in suppler communications and research. Some companies have taken to asking suppliers to agree to a set of standards. "

Sir Gawain?s Green Girdle: Shame or Honour?, 2004.
An exploration of the significance of the green girdle in the poem, "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the symbolic significance of the green girdle in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." The paper argues that the girdle is a symbol both of shame and of honour at the same time. This paradoxical interpretation makes sense in light of the great dichotomy that the poem sets up between Christian and pagan values, represented by the two loci of action: the court of King Arthur and the castle of the Green Knight. From a Christian point of view, the girdle is a symbol of shame; from a pagan point of view, it is a symbol of honour.
From the Paper
"A key element in the poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is the series of contrasts that are developed throughout the poem. Beauty and youth are contrasted with ugliness and old age (ll. 966-69), feasting with fasting (ll. 897-98), the dangers of the hunt with the comforts of the bedroom (ll. 1178-79), hospitality (ll. 835-37) with cruelty (ll. 2114-17). The most significant of these contrasts is that between shame and honour, the underlying theme of the poem."

Abstract
This paper explains that transforming the concept of creating a green building, which interacts with the planet's ecosystem, into a coherent, rational and specific plan and constructing it is a challenge. The author points out that the conditions of a green building design process are low construction impact, resource efficiency through the life of the building, long lasting, nontoxic and aesthetically pleasing. The paper relates that choosing wood, especially large timbers, for a green home may seem odd; however, wood is the greenest of green building materials because it is a dense collection of cellulose that is strong, flexible, and eminently workable and is a renewable resource.

Conclusions: The Green Home
From the Paper
"With the client's requirements in mind, the site considerations, and the aforementioned green building criteria, I have determined that the most appropriate building style for this site will be pole construction, in which large round timbers provide the skeletal support structure on which the roof and floors are hung. Pole construction has the benefit of being easily adaptable to most sites, including the steep site that the client owns. In addition, the simplicity of the construction method means that both material and labor costs are reduced dramatically, further limiting resource and energy depletion."

"Man has been building structures since shortly after they began to emerge from caves and to explore areas outside his immediate vicinity. Many animals build structures, such as birds and beaver. Many of these structures are functional and serve only to offer protection from predators and the elements, and so it was with the first structures built by man. They were made from the limited building materials locally available and the emphasis was on functionality, little, if any thought was given to artistic form."

"Gawain and the Green Knight", 2002.
Examines the themes of virtue and vice in the medieval poem, "Gawain and the Green Knight".

Abstract
In "Gawain and the Green Knight", the story of Gawain is an allegory for Christian ideals, played out in the realms of King Arthur's codes of chivalry and ideal virtue. Gawain's experiences being tested by Morgan reveal to him his weaknesses as a man and force him to reconcile himself to the conflicts of upholding ideal values while being a less than ideal human being. This essay considers the ways Gawain's own reflections on his actions provide him with the insights to restore his honor. The essay concludes that forgiveness and humility are what redeem Gawain and enable him to act in concert with the Green Knight and not against the Green Knight, thus rationalizing the poem's surprise ending.

Abstract
This paper discusses the symbolism of the green light in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." The paper discusses how Nick, the narrator, describes the green light in the novel, but never clearly states its meaning. The paper attempts to understand the meaning of the green light by focusing on what the green light means to Gatsby, what he learns about the green light and the commentary that Nick provides as narrator.
From the Paper
"The final statement about the green light is made in the novel's closing line. At this point, Nick is remembering how Gatsby once reached for the green light. Nick states that Gatsby's dream must have seemed so close, but that it was already behind him. This makes a strong statement about Gatsby's dream being unattainable. It is not only saying that Gatsby did not achieve his dream, but that it was always impossible for him to reach. In effect, he failed before he even started. At this point, Nick understands Gatsby dream because Nick has just realized that his own dreams were also unattainable. Just like Gatsby, Nick came to West Egg seeking something from his life, and just like Gatsby, Nick is disappointed with what he has found. It is at this point that Nick realizes that every person has their own personal dreams and hopes that will turn out to be futile."

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, 1990.
Analysis of the poem "Sir Gawain and The Green Knight" which argues that the Green Knight is the more interesting character and more deserving of being the hero than is Gawain.

From the Paper
"The ostensible hero of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is Sir Gawain, but one could argue that the Green Knight is the more interesting character and the greater moral force in the story. The action centers on the challenge thrown down by the Green Knight to the wayward Sir Gawain, and the poem as a whole questions the meaning of heroism in the social context of King Arthur's court and in literature as a whole.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight exists in a manuscript containing three other works as well--Pearl, Purity, and Patience. All are by the same unknown poet who wrote in the last half of the fourteenth century, during the time of Chaucer. Chaucer's work would serve as the beginning for a poetic tradition extending over the next five centuries, while the poet of Sir Gawain wrote in a different style off the main track of..."
