Abstract
This paper explores the political motives of Republican Alan Keyes during the 2000 Presidential Campaign. It charts his political career and investigates his moral and ethical stances on issues such as abortion, law and order.
From the Paper
"The issues making up Keyes? nomination platform are supported entirely by his right-wing religious views, which is probably why he has never obtained the lion?s share of the primary votes. Yet he has not only remained in the race when others, such as Steve Forbes and more recently John McCain, have thrown in the towel but he has refused to budge from his rigidly moral platform. Whilst the other candidates, who are extremely close on policy issues, shift stance and either increase or decrease their ?conservativeness? depending on which State they were in, Keyes never departs from his extreme right wing religious viewpoint. So why does Keyes stay in the race when he must realize that the chances of his becoming President of the USA are virtually nil? The answer has to be that, for Keyes, this is a moral crusade rather than just a mere campaign."

Abstract
Project Planning
Rewards, Motivation & Retention
Project Plan Tables & Structure
From the Paper
"One major oversight that Harrison-Keyes committed was the impact that its project would have on employee motivation and retention. Employees have become the focus of the organization in the global economy because, for the most part, organizations have the same access to the same quality of services and products as any other organization in its industry or field. The x-factor in the competitive landscape has become the employee and by extension, the workforce itself and Harrison-Keyes expanding loss of its intellectual capital in the form of employees moving to the competition is not sustainable even in the short-term. How to motivate the employee and the workforce is now an integrated strategy in the organization to create competitive advantage in the marketplace and should be part and parcel of Harrison-Keyes' project plan through an HR development program."

Abstract
This essay discusses the negative impact that the experimental brain surgery has on the character of Charlie Gordon in "Flowers for Algernon". Charlie has an IQ of 68 and has an operation, which turns him into a genius. This sweet, innocent protagonist is transformed throughout the plot of the novel into an egotistical and intelligent man. His transformation is discussed in a negative sense as well as his quick deterioration, which ultimately lowers his IQ to less than in the beginning. This essay shows common human flaws and shows us many messages about the sanctity of life.
From the Paper
"Every person is born with his or her own special characteristics, talents and flaws. Although many people attempt to change various aspects of their own lives they should appreciate who they are and give up the longing for perfection. In the novel "Flowers for Algernon", by Daniel Keyes, the protagonist, Charlie Gordon, has an operation in hopes of raising his IQ. Charlie is born retarded and has an IQ of 68. His mother abuses him, his parents abandon him because he is too much strain on the whole family, and his friends constantly laugh at his expense."

Abstract
The paper notes that there are many skills that help a person in their career but are not commonly taught in many of today's schools. The paper focuses on the skill of using a 10-key calculator by touch. Every computer keyboard has a 10-key calculator attached that is used on a daily basis. The paper relates that this is an important skill for anyone in business to have. The paper points out that you will not save the world or save a life if you learn how to use a calculator without looking at it. However, mastering this skill can make your business and personal life easier. The paper highlights how mastering incompetence gives a feeling of achievement and pride and so does learning a new skill, no matter how small.
From the Paper
"Think about the last time you balanced your checkbook, averaged your expenses for the month, or figured out a players ERA average. You used a calculator. Chances are you use a calculator all the time at home, and at the office, too. If you know how to use that calculator more quickly and efficiently, with fewer inputting errors, it could save time and give more accurate results. Learning 10-key by touch skills can give that time and save costly data entry errors. Some schools do offer 10-key courses for accounting students, and others offer them as part of basic computing classes."

Tony Harrison, 2004.
A look at how the poet, Tony Harrison, presents his parents in his work and whether there a bias towards his father and against his mother.

Abstract
This paper examines how Tony Harrison extensively features his parents and their death throughout his poetry. It analyzes four of his poems: "Cremation", "Book Ends I & II", "A Good Read", and "Bringing Up". It looks at how he stems from a working class background, and though he moved up the social ladder, his parents remain of the lower class. It discusses how Harrison conveys this social gap superbly with his use of language, dialect, and anecdotal snapshots of his past. Likewise, it discusses how he shows respect for his father?s legacy, despite the fact his parents were of working class status.
From the Paper
"For example, in ?Cremation? he demonstrates respect for his parents in how he shows them both to be hard working. He describes his fathers, ?one huge nightshift?. It is almost as though in Harrison?s eyes, his father worked all hours to enable them to survive. However, Harrison?s presentation here can seem negative as it is almost as though his father?s huge workload takes over his life and takes up the time when family bonding traditionally occurs. Similarly he also describes how his mother?s hard work led to her demise, ?the mangle brought it on?. Using plosives, Harrison here shows the sheer physicality that his mother had to cope with."

Abstract
The writer summarizes the story and explains that it is not only a reflection of the author's concern with controlling the masses through television but is also an attack on the idea of enforced equality. The paper shows how the use of television to control people is a major theme in "Harrison Bergeron". The writer describes the dehumanization in the story, which is a result of government oppression, as well as the physical punishment that awaits rebellious people like Harrison. In conclusion, the writer states that no government is able to suppress the individual completely because of the desire of humans to be themselves and not machines.
From the Paper
"The other major theme in "Harrison Bergeron" is the concept of equality. His world is similar to that of a tyrannical dictatorship, where people have no rights, thanks "to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General" (139). This new world represents total conformity, where people like George must wear weights and radio transmitters which play loud noises to hinder their intellectual development. Vonnegut's world is the most extreme and horrifying that anyone can imagine. According to Joseph Alvarez, "If everyone were equal in every which way, the various handicaps would not be necessary" (3). Alvarez is making the statement that it is ironic of the government to enforce equality to everyone but themselves. The government does not make themselves equal to the rest of society, but higher than the rest of the population. The Handicapper General displays a slave driver approach, in which they use physical discipline to keep everyone in check. Insane people enforce the insanity in Vonnegut's futuristic America. According to literary critic Carl Mowery, "In this society, it is the H-G's job to neutralize the human attributes that every citizen was given by God" (3). The aspect of equality Vonnegut takes so literally that even a person's basic rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of choice are nonexistent."

?Harrison Bergeron?, 2005.
Examines the achievement of utopia in "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In the short story "Harrison Bergeron," Kurt Vonnegut Jr. speculated what a Utopia-like society in the modern period would be like. This paper posits that the achievement of equality in the story puts forth the message to the reader that what makes human society live in harmony and unity is primarily because of our differences. Differences make 'gaps' left by someone else be filled out by another one in the society: this process makes humans interdependent on one another because each one of us complement each other.
From the Paper
"Apart from the lack of competitiveness and creativity that was shown in the ballet dance, another frightening notion that Vonnegut implied in the story was that achievement of equality could become detrimental to human rights. Illustrated in the story was Harrison's and the beautiful ballerina's death, which reflects how, in an attempt to establish an extreme kind of equality, the Handicapper General Diana Moon Glamplers killed both Harrison and the beautiful ballerina."

"Harrison Bergeron" and Equality, 2006.
Examines issues of equality and Social Darwinism in the story, "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
1,995 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 63.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
"Harrison Bergeron," a satirical short story by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., addresses the issue of inequality among people and what is to be done to redress it. The paper looks at how the theory of Social Darwinism can be examined through the characters and events in the story.
From the Paper
"The leveling that takes place in the story is intellectual. Vonnegut makes great fun of anti-intellectualism, a very American form of leveling. In 1961 it was "uncool" to be smart. For example, in schools there were no gifted children. The concept was unknown in education. Teachers thought it was un-democratic to recognize one child as more intelligent than another. They pretended there were no differences between students. It is this kind of leveling that Vonnegut ridicules. In the story the characters think that "Ignorance is bliss." Harrison's father, for example, tells his wife not to think about sad things. Hazel, who is not exactly bright, says "Who knows better'n I do what normal is?" as though her ignorance and inability to reason were virtues."

Economic and Political Thoughts of Key Economists, 2002.
This paper looks at the the economic and political thoughts of key economists on the role of government in the economy.
3,765 words (approx. 15.1 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 103.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper summarizes the economic and political thought of key economists and classifies them according to the level of government control on the economy. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who believed in the public ownership of productive property, are the advocates of strong, centralized government control. At the other end, Adam Smith, Joseph Schumpeter, Ludwig von Mises and Milton Friedman all espoused laissez faire economics. The middle ground is the fiscal policy of John Maynard Keynes. The second part of this paper discusses why the Keynesian model is both informed by and compatible with Christian principles. In the third part the writer recommends against increasing government regulations on the United States economy in the face of technology such as Napster and cloning. Instead, he argues that a careful application of Keynesian programs would ensure that the Unites States economy remains healthy and competitive.
From the Paper
"The fact that capitalism continues to flourish, despite the predictions of Marx and Schumpeter, are testament to this economic system?s primacy. Though they had different reasons for sounding capitalism?s death knell, Marx and Schumpeter made a common mistake by underestimating how much technology revives capitalism. Marxist scholars such as Lenin later showed how capitalism has involved into imperialism, given that technology allows capitalists to extend their private ownership beyond the nation-state. Schumpeter, on the other hand, did not anticipate how these technology such as the internet have given rise to a new kind of ?daring entrepreneur,? who have in turn created new industries and opened new markets."

Tony Harrison, 2003.
An analysis of the theme of conflict in the work of the poet Tony Harrison.
823 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how although Tony Harrison?s poems have individual themes, relating to personal emotions and experiences, in particular to his upbringing and background, the overriding theme throughout nearly all of his poetry is conflict. It provides a brief biography of his life and a review of some of his poems such as "Lines to my Grandfathers" and "Kumquat for John Keats".
From the Paper
"This idea of conflict working in relation to unity is one which Harrison has considered carefully in many of his pieces, particularly in relation to the family in which he was brought up. Harrison is very much a contradiction to the stereotype (and indeed the reality) of his roots. He comes from Leeds and a very working class family. At a young age he won a scholarship to Leeds Grammar School where he specialised in classics, this was an entirely unprecedented event in his family. His father is quoted as saying, in the poem A Good Read, ?ah sometimes think you read too many books. ah nivver ?ad much time for a good read?. This is a clear contradiction between himself and his father, Harrison also sees himself as the one in the right, putting down his fathers words by starting the sentences with lower case letters."
