Abstract
This paper describes Ebenezer Howard's role in the advancement of urban planning. The author points out that Howard understood the necessity of asserting control over urban development. The paper further describes Howard's belief that controlling urban development improves city life, enhances productivity, increases efficiency and reduces the socioeconomic and political problems that uncontrolled urbanization produced. The paper relates that Howard believed that the negative aspects of urbanization could be minimized and eventually eliminated through logical urban planning to which he devoted his life.
From the Paper
"In analyzing the advancement of urban planning, it is evident that innovative urban thinkers, like Ebenezer Howard, understood the vital importance of promoting and achieving effective urban development. Throughout the centuries, most cities expanded outward from their central core in a haphazard fashion in response to a variety of short-term economic, social and geographical factors. As this random process unfolded, cities became sprawling urban areas in which the quality of human life steadily declined, economic productivity suffered, and social and political tensions became chronic problems.

Abstract
In the world of radio talk shows, there can be no question that shock-jock personality Howard Stern is one of the most controversial show leads in history. This paper discusses the fines levied against the Howard Stern Show by the FCC and outlines the reasons for those fines. Additionally, this paper discusses Stern's long history of battle against censorship in relation to the FCC, and briefly discusses Stern's popularity among certain groups within the United States. The paper shows that while Stern is certainly controversial and disliked by many in religious, political, and women's rights communities, his strong voice acts as a symbol of free speech for many fans.
From the Paper
"Specifically, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Pennsylvania was fined for airing Howard Stern episodes containing explicit sexual material. While the decision was appealed, the appeal was lost. Following the initial complaint, the FCC heard complaints from Americans for Responsible Television, concerned about Stern's sexual content, and the African-American Business Administration, which was concerned over Stern's attitude towards blacks. By 1993, stations had incurred over $1.7 million in fines over Stern's radio show (Foerstel, 1997)."

Abstract
The author states that ?Howard's End? is an Edwardian novel written before the Great War. He continues that the plot is complex but is held together by the country house called Howard's End, a metaphor for England itself. The paper discusses that the characters respected the land but not each other. The paper continues to discuss the concept of wealth and compares this book compared to the writings of the American F. Scott Fitzgerald.
From the Paper
"But it also stands for something larger than simply England, for it represents the ways in which people can be tied to a particular piece of the earth from one generation to the next. The first World War brought to an end many things, and this may have been one of the most significant things that was lost, this sense that our relationship to the land is one of the things that can be counted on to endure from generation to generation. Already we see that sense of connection being loosened in this book, but it still endures."

From the Paper
"At every turn, Henry Wilcox behaves as is appropriate for his class. These behavioral expectations dictate rigidly-defined gender roles and attitudes. The Basts, being beneath the class boundaries of either Wilcox or Schlegel, are subject to manipulation - or punishment - for their respect for, or abuse of, class principles. Bast has crossed an uncrossable line, and so suffers Henry Wilcox's "career advice." Jacky Wilcox adheres to a more suitable role, and so involves herself in an unmentionable relationship with Wilcox."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Howard Schultz and how he made the Starbucks Corporation the global success it is today. According to the paper, Mr. Shultz was an avid risk taker and his purchase and leadership of Starbucks impelled him to take many a risk.
From the Paper
"In any established market, there are always going to be price-sensitive customers, quality-sensitive ones and convenience-sensitive ones. Since there are always some customers who love service and others who love the experience, Mr. Shultz responded to this risk by accepting it and creating a strategy aimed at serving the desires and tastes of all customers. Starbucks is a place one can go for quality coffee, relaxation, to meet with friends, to study, to read, to chat or to surf the internet. It is a place for everyone. Mr. Schultz transformed Starbucks into a designer name brand of coffee shops. The employees, the atmosphere, the coffee and the coffee related products magnetize people. Had Mr. Schultz not taken the risk of emulating the Italian espresso bars, I doubt if Starbucks would have as much success that it does today."

"Howard's End", 2003.

Abstract
This paper discusses how E.M Foster's novel, "Howard?s End", is an attempt to debunk the gender roles of his era. It explains how this novel is considered to be the best of the author's work as a symbolic exploration of the social, economic, and philosophical forces in England in the first half of the 20th century. Foster uses three English families of different classes to explore the competing ideals of materialism, intellectualism, and aspiration. It shows how Foster, through the depiction of the female characters, claims that gender is a social creation and that gender roles are relative to each period and can be studied in their historical context.
From the Paper
"How do we conceive of ourselves as embodied beings? How do we come to have a realization of our gendered existence? These are some of the most significant questions in human history. Today scholars and historians believe that gender identity does not exist as primordially and externally fixated but is invented, created, resisted and subverted the fulcrum of multiple identities. So enmeshed is gender in this axis that differences such as race, class, caste and community may be steeped in and spoke through the language of sexual difference. Thus the question of invention of identity is also a question of power wherein gender becomes the signifier of power differences. Gender differences are not modern phenomena it has existed in ancient times and throughout history, the sexual differences were common in Roman, Greek and Egyptian civilization. Even in the mythic stories of Gilgamesh, Norse myths, Code of Hammarabi, Egyptians stories, Iliad, Homer, Arabian Nights and many more depict the sexual differences. Men and women are presented in different ways, assigned different roles and have specific characters."

"While working at Crosby and Gould, Latimer began his career as an inventor. In 1873, he was granted a patent for his first invention?water closets for railroad cars (Klein, 1971, pp. 99-100). His belief that electricity would play a significant role in the future led him to join Hiram Maxim?s United States Electric Lighting Company (Klein, 1971, p. 100). At U.S. Electric, Latimer succeeded in increasing the life of the carbon filament of the early light bulbs. In 1881, Latimer and J.V.

Abstract
This paper explains that the character Leonard Bast in "Howard's End"
is not exactly representing the poor but the very bottom of the lower-middle class; however, he is trying to work his way up to better himself individually and potentially reach the Schlegal's status. The author points out that Leonard appears to be trapped in his class but struggling to get out by reading different books to broaden his horizons; he uses this technique to charm people of the upper class with his knowledge of what he read, which just puts him more out of place. The paper relates that, according to E.M. Forster, the English social system is very challenging, which he illustrates by the location in which his character Bast lives, relationships he has developed and his actions.
From the Paper
"After attending the performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, Helen runs off with Leonard's umbrella. After following her all the way home we are shown Leonard's need for his umbrella, it is all he has. "All men are equal--all men, that is, who possess umbrellas." (39) This is the key statement about Leonard, he wants to move up in the social system, by showing he has an umbrella he knows he is nothing less than inferior. We are shown the embarrassment when Helen insults his umbrella, Leonard realizes that he is lower class. Never will he be at the same position as the Schlegal Sister's. Leonard in society stutters causes a scene and even sends his "wife" looking for him at another woman's place."

"Howards End", 2002.
A review of E.M. Forsters novel "Howards End".

Abstract
This research examines the novel "Howards End" by E.M. Forster as a story of social critique from the critical vantage point of the ethics writer Martha C. Nussbaum. The research sets forth the context in which Nussbaum's views achieve relevance for the pattern of social criticism in Forster's novel and then discusses how those views intersect with the means by which Forster brings out his ideas and elaborates on various novelistic themes.
From the Paper
"A similar dynamic is readily observable in Forster's Howards End, although Forster speaks less to social and economic conditions per se than to the content of human experience where the social implications of modern industrial society are always in the background informing that experience. To see how this dynamic is played out, it is useful to look at the way Nussbaum deals with utilitarian social analysis. She cites two general utilitarian models, one that was contemporary with Dickens and one that achieved increasing resonance in the industrialized world over the course of the 20th century. In what is referred to as the classic utilitarian social model, the focus is on the big picture of aggregate social results of rather than individual or group experiences within social organization."

Abstract
This paper reviews the career of Howard Schultz as an example of a businessman with a knack for successfully shifting the paradigm. This paper refers to Schultz as a paradigm pioneer. According to the paper, paradigm pioneers recognize the importance of growth and to continually move the goal mark.
From the Paper
"Ten years later, Schultz, who at the time was VP and GM of Operations for the Swedish housewares company Hammarplast, noticed that Starbucks was placing larger orders than Macy's was for a certain type of drip coffeemaker. Here, was the first step in Schultz' pioneering paradigm: curiosity. Wondering why the store was selling so many products, he went to visit the store and started asking a lot of questions. That was his next step: gathering information. Schultz was impressed with the owners' wealth of knowledge and priority for excellent customer service. Here was the pioneer's third step: recognizing the value of a high-quality product. For a year, Schultz pursued a job with Starbucks, and not for monetary gain. This was the fourth step: fortitude."

Abstract
The writer of this paper studies the issues faced by the modern man in Forester's "Howard's End." The book is set in the early twentieth century with the emergence of modernization and struggles between the classes. The paper analyzes the relationship between these classes, the challenges emerging from modernization and how the characters rise to these challenges.
From the Paper
In his renowned novel Howards End, E. M. Forester paints a compelling portrait of British society in the early twentieth century. Forester takes the reader on a journey through the trials and tribulations among members of the various social strata who compose the preeminent societal structure in this unique time and place. By setting his novel against the backdrop of an emerging industrial empire, the author makes a bold statement concerning the plight of modern man. According to Forester, this contemporary dilemma plaguing humanity is defined by the inability to make meaningful connections not only across distinct boundaries drawn by the existing social hierarchy but also between man and the natural world around him (alienation in the romantic sense). Furthermore, this tale can be interpreted allegorically with Leonard Bast's character representing Forester's model for the common man, Henry Wilcox portraying the self interested industrialist and the Schlagel's (especially Margaret) exemplifying the liberal intellectual 'voice of reason.'
