Abstract
This paper looks at Third World countries and examines how they differ. The writer of this paper feels that the lack of modernization is an example of the symptomatic problems of the Third World's poverty rather than as a cause for it. The writer argues that the people in developing countries are dependent on the West. The author shows how most people living in Third World countries never see the west?s foreign aid dollars; they are spent instead on wasteful socialist economic schemes or at Harrods. The author argues that their governments wouldn?t exist without them. He explains that it?s also common knowledge that higher standards of living encourage lower population growth rates. The paper concludes that there is hope to be found in the development of industrial and technological sectors in these countries, as it encourages the emergence of a middle class
From the Paper
"It has been argued that if one wants to understand the nature of inequality between the north and south, he has to understand the role of technology in the international system. Someone who would say such a thing overlooks the fact that it?s not the amount of technology that counts, but how you use it that matters. In the wealthiest western nations, the use of technology has been actively directed by well-regulated capital lending mechanisms. These financial instruments allow inventors, laborers, and merchants to borrow money at interest that can later be repaid within the context of a legal environment that protects property and contracts."

From the Paper
"Worldly hope can be defined then as a belief that something good may happen in terms of something that is physical and touchable. Examples of worldly hope are hope held that one may receive a raise or promotion or hope held that one might own a larger car or a larger home in the future. Worldly hope and Biblical hope are two very different things and on two very different levels. Worldly hope is a hope that resides purely in the here and now and in the physical world. Biblical hope is hope held by those who believe that God is ever aware of his children and their welfare."

"World Trade Center"--A Film Review, 2007.
A review of Oliver Stone's film "World Trade Center."

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Oliver Stone's film about the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. The paper focuses on the themes presented in the film, particularly that of hope. Although this review is positive toward the movie "World Trade Center," it does include some criticism toward the film. The reviewer concludes that the audience of "World Trade Center" should take away a message of hope.
From the Paper
"Some reviewers found the film too patriotic and flag-waving, and too religious in nature. Another critic writes, "The visual approach of 'World Trade Center,' heavy on the intense close-ups and fervent in its embrace of the characters' religious and patriotic strains, flies in the face of everybody's preconceptions about what a Stone film feels like" (Phillips). However, these are some of the things that helped the two men remain alive, and this seems as if it is a natural reaction to the unnatural events surrounding them. They turn to their spiritual side and introspection to help make some sense of their predicament and their lives. Above all, they realize they have everything in the world to live for, and they do not want to die. They realize they have made mistakes, and they want another chance to make things better if they survive. "

The World Bank, 2002.
An examination of the role of the World Bank, centered around the reduction of poverty.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the World Bank's central goal is to alleviate poverty in the Third World. It hopes to achieve this task by making low interest loans to the governments of developing countries. The writer discusses whether this aim has been achieved and various points of criticism the bank has been open to recently.
From the Paper
"Recently, the World Bank has endured a barrage of criticisms. These come from many sources; not only has the Bank?s headquarters in Washington, DC become the focus of anti-globalization agitators, environmentalists, neo-Marxists and the proponents of sustainable government but it has also fallen under the axe of conservatives and libertarian organizations such as the DC-based Cato Institute. Banner-wielding Marxists claim that the Bank is an agent of imperialism, and echo Lenin?s criticism of British Imperialism: ?Imperialism has the tendency to create privileged sections also among the workers, and to detach them from the broad masses of the proletariat.? (Lenin, 1916) In an article written by Cato?s former fiscal policy director, Stephen Moore, now with the Club for Growth, ?the protesters in front of the World Bank and IMF buildings were right: These institutions should be closed pronto.? (Moore, September 25th 2000) However, the organization has its backers, who believe that a well-funded international organization can cure poverty by lending to these countries? elected or appointed leaders."

End of the World Scenarios, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the roots of the belief in a glorious kingdom, which is part natural and part supernatural, are found in the hopes of the Jews for a temporal Messiah and in the Jewish apocalyptic. The author explains that, for thousands of years, legendary leaders such as King Solomon, the Egyptian pharaohs and Napoleon Bonaparte, have fought over Megiddo, called Armageddon in the New Testament, located in modern day Israel, and where the Bible says the end of the world will occur. The paper describes the grey goo scenario, first posed by Eric Drexler in his book on nanotechnology, "Engines of Creation", in which he describes how small nano-scale robots built to replicate themselves using any organic material, self-replicating nanobots, which eventually cover the world with grey sludge competing for the remainder of the planet's resources with microscopic earth munching robot swarms.
From the Paper
"The Christian faith is one such religion that is based on the day of judgement. There are dozens of references in the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible that concern the end of the world. It is called by many phrases such as the "Day of the Lord," "the Day of the Son," "The Last Day," "The Day of the Son of Man," or the "Second Coming". For Christians this means that Christ will return to gather the just and annihilate the evil, and to found a glorious kingdom on earth filled with the highest spiritual and material blessings. All the saints will participate in this event and Christ is said to reign for one thousand years."

Count of Monte Cristo Theme: The Importance of Hope, 2006.
The paper examines the theme of hope in A. Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo".

Abstract
The paper examines the central theme of hope in A. Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo". Hope is vital to Edmond Dante's survival and is also the foundation for the novel that transforms the plot from one of vengeance and justice to a novel that focuses instead on survival. Hope is central to the characters survival and infuses the main character Dante with the strength and courage he needs to overcome his enemy's transgressions and in the end, win back all that is rightfully his. Other themes mentioned include love and human justice, though, according to the paper, ultimately it is hope that drives the plot and encourages the reader to side with Dante and carries him through to his ultimate success in the end. The paper concludes that without the theme of hope, "The Count of Monte Cristo" would fall apart and become a tragic novel of only vengeance, rather than a work of art that inspires readers to stay firm in their convictions and realize their dreams are attainable.
From the Paper
"For multiple twisted reasons Dante while mostly innocent is sent to prison for treason. The reasons he is sent to suffer include jealousy and other man's fears that Dante will reveal the worst about their actions. It is in prison that Dante first discovers hope while staying in the Chateau d'If. Here Dante encounters a man by the name of Abbe Faria who teaches Dante much of the world including subjects like history, philosophy and languages (Goldstein, 2005). This helps Dante transform into an educated man, capable of competing against his enemies. In prison Faria also bestows on Dante treasures that he has hid on the island of Monte Cristo. Here Dante discovers hope and discovers that with his newfound knowledge and education he can once more conquer and regain all that is rightfully his."

'Hollow Hope' Analysis, 2006.
This paper provides an analysis of 'The Hollow Hope' by Gerald Rosenberg.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the book 'The Hollow Hope' by Gerald Rosenberg. This paper analyzes all aspects of Gerald Rosenberg's research and uses outside sources to critique his work. The writer looks at 'The Hollow Hope' as a pioneer in political science research. The writer notes that Rosenberg suggests that the study of political science should call for a careful reanalysis of the judicial role in politics and society. The writer concludes that Rosenberg collects an unbelievable amount of evidence to show, in each area examined, that at best the Court followed rather than led the move toward social change.
From the Paper
"Many books pioneer certain ways of analyzing topics, yet it is very rare that a first attempt can demonstrate such a great amount of success. Gerald Rosenberg's Hollow Hope is such a book. Since the early 1950s, political scientists taking a political or procedural approach to the study of law and courts had asked, according to Jack Peltason: "What happens after the lawsuit is over?" Rather than focusing almost entirely on the court decision itself, as in traditional constitutional law, political scientists slowly began to broaden their inquiry to include the continuing political struggle following court decisions. Even a brief examination of this topic makes it clear that court decisions themselves are only one stage of the continuing political, policy-making, process. Through Rosenberg's empirical research as illustrated in Hollow Hope, it is clear that his theories can be applied in many instances successfully to understand the effect the court has on society."

A. D. Hope's Eroticism: "The Double Looking Glass", 2005.
Examines poet, A.D. Hope's autoerotic poem which retells the Bible story of Susanna and The Elders.

Abstract
This paper discusses the poem, "The Double Looking Glass" in which the biblical legend of Susanna and the Elders gets a novel twist. Australian poet A. D. Hope depicts Susanna in an autoerotic mood in which she imagines a naked youth watching her at the same time the bawdy elders do.
From the Paper
"The looking glass provides multiple and surprising perspectives, for the poem converts the story into a study of female erotic fancy. Susannah strips the "lily" (an emblem of purity from medieval iconography) of herself and, as she slips into her garden pool (the closed garden motif), she feels aroused by her sensual nakedness; she thrills as her "flesh reverberates its own surprise / And startles at the act which makes it bare" (Selected Poems 84 ). The poem pivots on a characteristic Hope stratagem: he turns the original story of the elders' sexual extortion of lily-pure Susannah into an exhibit of autoeroticism, which incites Susannah to lust for an imagined male even while the voyeuristic elders plot to ravage her."

"Hope Leslie", 2000.
An examination of the use of letters in Catherine Maria Sedgwick's work "Hope Leslie".

Abstract
This paper reviews Catherine Maria Sedgwick's "Hope Leslie", an expansive work detailing with both sides of the conflict between the Puritans and the Native Americans in the Massachusetts Bay colony. It discusses how in order to create this rich and detailed story, Sedgwick presents a varied cast of characters and employs a number of literary techniques. One of the most prominent of these techniques is the use of letters that her characters write to each other. It analyzes these written letters and shows how Sedgwick uses this literary device to overcome the problem of omniscient narration, obtain more in-depth characterization, and better deal with the passage of time in the story.
From the Paper
"Hope Leslie is written in the third person through the eyes of an all-knowing, all-seeing narrator. This allows the author to add a great deal of depth to the story by interjecting characters? thoughts and feelings, but it comes at a price: this style of storytelling is inherently difficult for readers to believe. Many critics describe third person narration as the ?God?s-eye view? because only a god could understand and explain the motivations and feelings of every character in the story at all times. Many readers do not find this to be a believable viewpoint. On the other hand, using first person narration would unduly limit the depth of a novel with as wide a scope as Hope Leslie by only allowing one character?s thoughts to be explicitly defined."

"A Hope in the Unseen" by Ron Suskind, 2005.
This paper reviews the Pulitzer Prize winning book "A Hope in the Unseen" by Ron Suskind about a black high school student's academic achievement.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that "A Hope in the Unseen" by Ron Suskind is the story of Cedric Jennings, a student at an inner-city factory Ballou Senior High in Washington, D.C., and his ambitious move from Ballou to the Ivy League. The author makes it quite clear that academic success among inner city kids is so rare that, when it happens, the others resent it, which makes teens like Cedric true outsiders, as if somehow he is betraying the rest of his peers. This paper states that what needs to be answered is whether Cedric is truly exceptional, whether his story is one in a million or whether, given the chance, there are many more like him, anxious to prove themselves not by the color of their skin but by their persistence and determination to pull themselves up and make a life for themselves.
From the Paper
"One aspect of Cedric's fear is made quite clear: he has never been around white kids a lot. When he tells his teacher, Mr. Taylor, that he is going to Brown, Taylor is less than enthusiastic. "I'm not sure I would have selected an Ivy League school...You're going to be up there with a lot of very smart white kids, and if you're not sure of who you are, you could get eaten up alive....It's not just at the Ivies. It can happen at any of the good colleges where a young black man who hasn't spent a lot of time with whites, suddenly finds himself among almost all whites. You can feel lost." One wonders whether his teacher is really preparing him for potential problems, or whether (as a Holy Cross graduate and not an Ivy Leaguer) he is slightly resentful of a possibility that he was not permitted to exercise."

Abstract
This paper reviews the book, "Shattered Hope: The Guatemalan Revolution and the United States, 1944-1954" written by author Piero Gleijeses. The paper explores the insightful and often painful journey into a world of betrayal, greed, death and ultimately, tragedy. The paper portrays the book as a sad saga of what might have been and states how even the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) can make grave mistakes and miscalculate the outcome of overthrowing a foreign government. The paper contends that Gleijeses presents readers with a thoroughly researched and meticulous look at the sinister forces that actively participated in the overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz in 1954, as well as the impact the invasion had on Guatemalan politics and society.

The Historical Legacy of the Coup
From the Paper
"United Fruit Company, with its platoon of influential lobbyists and talented publicists - including the CIA - was largely responsible for engineering the overthrow of Arbenz in 1954. Dwight Eisenhower was president and he led an administration laden with powerful businessmen and other prominent people. According to author Gleijeses, many of these people were friends of UFC. On page 361, Gleijeses writes: "Foster Dulles had been senior partner in the law firm that had represented UFC. His deputy, Walter Bedell Smith, was toying with the idea of taking a job with UFC (which he indeed did when he retired in 1955)." "The assistant secretary for Latin America was a Cabot, as was the ambassador to the United Nations - and Cabots were major UFC stockholders. Eisenhower's personal secretary, Ann Whitman, was the wife of UFC's director of public relations.""

Abstract
This paper reviews Peter Medoff and Holly Sklar's book 'Streets of Hope - The Fall and Rise of an Urban Community' discussing a community that transforms itself from the inside out. According to the authors, it is a "story of community rebirth" shaped "by the dreams of ordinary people of different races and generations".

Introduction
Book Review
Reflections On Reading
Conclusions
From the Paper
"The authors present many ideas in their work. The primary suggestion or point the authors attempt to bring is that the "power of hope and pride" go a long way toward organizing and rebuilding developments when applied properly (Medoff & Sklar 3). Though the population within the Dudley community was generally poor and young and suffering from unemployment, the neighborhood still demonstrates some of the most diversity and industriousness of any other Boston town (Medoff & Sklar 3).
The authors also show that stereotypical images of inner city neighborhoods that commonly depict areas "full of hoodlums and not neighborly" do not apply in all cases including that of the Dudley district (Medoff & Sklar 4). In fact, despite the poverty and underemployment represented in this community, people retained values and a sense of collaboration and camaraderie."

?Streets of Hope?, 2002.

Abstract
This paper introduces the book "Streets of Hope" (Peter Medoff and Holly Sklar) about the Boston neighborhood of Dudley which went from being impoverished and run-down to become an example of what community spirit and determination can do to turn a place around. The paper examines the importance of the church in the inhabitants' spirit to improve their neighborhood. It also shows the book's emphasis on the will of the people to improve their lot and how they strive to move away from the stereotypical image of a welfare community.
From the Paper
"While there may be people out there like that, the stereotype couldn't be farther from the truth for the residents of Dudley Street. They don't agree with the idea that all poor people are lazy, and laziness is why they are poor. Many people are poor due to other unfortunate circumstances, and some of them are not able to help themselves. The time and money to better oneself is often not there. Dudley Street is showing that people can make a difference in their communities, no matter whether they are poor or not. Anything can be made better if everyone is willing to work at it."

Abstract
This paper discusses the changes that WWII and its aftermath brought to American society. The writer examines the major events and movements of each presidential era following WWII and how each was shaped by the American victory in that war and then in its turn affected all that followed. After pointing out that the wars that the US engaged in after WWII, such as the Cold War, the Vietnamese War and the Korean War, all came to an end, the writer notes that the current war on terror is not so clearly defined, and there is no end in sight. Looking back at WWII and the positive effects that its end brought not only to the US but to its former enemies Germany and Japan, may bring clarity and hope in finding a solution to this war as well.
From the Paper
"The war did have an economic impact that was beneficial in the main and that helped overcome what was left of the Depression. As noted, employment increased to the point where there were labor shortages, and after the war growth in production was encouraged and maintained in a stronger economy. When Truman was considering dropping the atomic bomb on Japan, one argument used for doing so was that it would shorten the war. It was argued that it was not necessary to drop the bomb on an inhabited area, however, and that an appropriate demonstration in an uninhabited area would have the same effect."
