This paper compares and contrasts the similarities and differences between the hermeneutical views of Martin Heidegger and Hans George Gadamer. The latter was a student of the former, and although his ideas were deeply influenced by those of Heidegger, Gadamer's work concentrated on applied hermeneutics. Heidegger, however, had worked on the understanding of being-a central question asked by philosophers of earlier times.

Abstract
This paper traces the life of Hans Christian Anderson from the time of his birth in Odense, Denmark in 1805. It examines his education, his relationship with his parents and his writing career. The paper discusses Anderson's works, including his first novel, "The Improvisatore" and subsequent texts such as his famous fairy tales such ("The Princess on the Pea," "The Little Mermaid," "The Emperor?s New Clothes", "The Ugly Duckling" and others). The paper reflects on Andersen's important contribution to the world of children's literature.
From the Paper
"An examination of the distinctive characteristics of his writing illuminates their enduring quality and his contribution to children?s literature. One of the key characteristics, which makes Anderson?s tales lively and interesting, is his use of the oral narrative. His tales often begin with a question that draws the readers or listeners into the story. By adopting the perspective of his characters, Andersen brings them alive, whether they are trees, trolls or sparrows. His vivid description of the Emperor?s court in ?The Nightingale? with its lavish and exotic objects evokes the mysterious and exotic quality of the Orient."

Abstract
"Hans Jurgen Eysenck (1916-97) was a German-born, British-educated psychologist whose principal contributions to psychological theory were his trait theory of personality, his biological theory of temperamental differences, his extensive investigations into the nature of intelligence, and his extension of his personality theory into some areas of social behavior.
From the Paper
"Hans Jurgen Eysenck (1916-97) was a German-born, British-educated psychologist whose principal contributions to psychological theory were his trait theory of personality, his biological theory of temperamental differences, his extensive investigations into the nature of intelligence, and his extension of his personality theory into some areas of social behavior. Eysenck became the leading proponent of the British pragmatic school of psychology and his emphasis on testing and biological factors has often led to serious criticism of his ideas. Despite various controversies surrounding his work, however, Eysenck remains an influential theorist whose theory of personality is believed by many to possess great potential.
Eysenck was the son of a German "actor father and film star mother" who were divorced shortly after his birth (Brand 68). He..."

From the Paper
" The Nazis did not come to power in Germany without opposition, and they did not develop their war machine in an atmosphere completely devoid of resistance. There was resistance to the Nazis within German society from a number of people and groups in society, and this resistance was dealt with harshly as the Nazis tried to consolidate their own power and bring everyone into conformity with their program of belligerence toward Germany's neighbors. Hans Rothfels in his book The German Opposition to Hitler analyzes the German opposition to the rise of the Nazis, the actions taken by those who offered any resistance at all, the nature of the opposition before the rise and after, and related issues, suggesting that some of this opposition movement operated throughout the Nazi era and served as an instrument for peace at the end of the war."

"Hans A. Baer and Merrill Singer, in African-American Religion in the Twentieth Century: Varieties of Protest and Accommodation, approach their subject employing a unique combination of conceptual and contextual elements. In addition, they seek to shed light on connections not dealt with adequately by previous researchers.
For example, they aim to clarify the connection between the origins and development of African-American religion and capitalism. Their conceptual framework is "social scientific" (xii) and their approach is "methodological agnosticism" (xiii). They honor the variety of expression and practice in their field by providing "the first comprehensive overview that covers this period and attempts to recognize the diversity of forms that African-American religion takes" (xii). They refer to themselves ..."

The Han Dynasty, 2006.
A discussion regarding the Han Dynasty, which ruled China from about 200 B.C. to about 220 A.D.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes Chinese history. The paper takes a look at the Han Dynasty, focusing specifically on the tombs of the time, especially the Mawangdui tomb. According to the paper, cave like tombs were as important to the Chinese as the Pyramids were to ancient Egyptians. Imperial Chinese families were buried in the royal tombs, along with many items necessary for a happy life after death. The paper discusses how the Han Dynasty created some of the most remarkable Chinese burial tombs, and created the great trade route known as the Silk Road, which greatly aided China and Asia in world trade.
From the Paper
"Two of the tombs contained numerous fragments and entire pieces of silk material, which are some of the first silk remnants found in China. Cang's wife was found wrapped in eighteen layers of fine silk, while there were numerous silk manuscripts found in all the tombs. The excavation is the oldest known in China, and so indicates the first silk findings in the country's history. They indicate early silk was exceptionally light, delicate, and beautiful, but under the right conditions, it survived thousands of years. Most people associate silk with garments and even home decor, but the finds in the Mawangdui indicate silk had another very important use in preserving Chinese culture. Scholars used silk as a writing medium, and bound the delicate silk pages into books. Over 30 of these books were unearthed in the Mawangdui tombs, and they indicate the level of learning and scholarly discourse during the zenith of the Han Dynasty. Archaeologists also found maps painted on silk, and silk T-shaped wall hangings depicting life and culture during the Han Dynasty (Doar). Thus, the Mawangdui tombs represent one of the most important excavations in Chinese history, especially when it comes to the significance of silk in the culture and society."

This paper briefly chronicles the background, impact in the field of nursing, contributions and professional associations of Beth Vaughan-Wrobel, a leading member in the field of nursing education and advocacy. The paper discusses how she has emerged as a pioneering thinker in the field of geriatric nursing. The paper highlights how she is well aware that the nursing profession is likely to have to meet the demands of geriatric patients at an even greater number in the future. Vaughan-Wrobel's suggestions for better trained, at-home caregivers would be a way to alleviate some of the profession's burdens, as well as ease the situation of the family members of the patient.

She has not only made critical thinking skills an important part of nursing education. She has also called upon society to see the aging process itself as an education, and demanded reforms in the ways that the caretakers who help ease the transition of adults into the next spheres of their lives will be prepared to meet the challenges that face them in the future."

Beth Cuthand's "Post-Oka Kinda Woman", 2007.
This paper discusses Beth Cuthand's poem "Post-Oka Kinda Woman" from "An Anthology of Canadian Native Literature in English".

Abstract
This paper explains that Beth Cuthand's "Post-Oka Kinda Woman"
appears to be about the rather insignificant-looking action of a Native woman walking down the street; however, the subject is really the issue of the Oka crisis, which began on March 11, 1990 and lasted until September 26, 1990. The author points out that, through its prosody, tone, characterization and diction, this poem challenges preconceived notions about Native people. The paper concludes that Cuthand's poem disputes the idea that the Oka crisis is not really over and suggests that the Mohawk nation will continue to fight for their rights over the land.
From the Paper
"Prosody in "Post-Oka Kinda Woman" mixes feet within the poem. By not employing 'perfect' metre with every line doing da-dum or dum-da, the metre Cuthand chose reflects the meaning, mood and emotional colour of the words and images. Line one begins with tetrameter, line while two switches to pentameter and line three has hexameter. The changing metre slows down the reader by line three, emphasizing the importance of the words, "victimization, reparation". Although lines four to six ease in the metre by changing to pentameter, line three slows the reader down."

From the Paper
"Her interest in geriatric nursing and nursing education became fused in a new and continuing fashion, after 1999 when Vaughan-Wrobel was asked to serve on the board of the Schmieding Center, which has the stated goal of devising innovative policy solutions with the aim of keeping older adults out of nursing homes. Vaughan-Wrobel has worked with the center to create formal standards and a community outreach structure to devise a network of professionally trained, paid, in-home caregivers to provide personal care and other non-medical services to older adults in the home."
