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."

From the Paper
" In Howards End by E.M. Forster, the contrast between the two Schlegel sisters is central to the development of the novel. The story is very much a matter of character development and revelation, and Forster has strong feelings about his characters which can be discerned in the way he treats them and in the degree of attention he gives to each of them. Helen is presented in a way that shows a complex attitude on the part of the author, and attitude reflected in the relationship between the sisters and in the way each responds to the situations as they develop.
While the two sisters are contrasted to a degree, they also have numerous similarities. Forster contrasts the Schlegels with the Wilcoxes. Helen and Margaret's mother is a British woman who comes from a family with money and their father a German idealist from whom they have inherited a certain attitude toward the.."

Urban Planning: Ebenezer Howard, 2005.
This paper examines the influence of nineteenth-century Englishman Ebenezer Howard on urban planning.

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.

"Howard's End", 2002.

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."

Abstract
This paper discusses E.M. Forster's "Howard's End" written in 1910. The paper describes the arguments of class as discussed in "Howard's End." It describes the economic ambitions of the two families presented in the book and how that resulted in their achieving similar economic positions in society. It concludes with the way that the traditional world of the one family merged into the modern world of the other.
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."

Gender Boundaries in 'Howard's End', 2007.
This paper explores the issue of gender boundaries and male/female relationships in 'Howard's End ' by E.M. Forster and looks at the issues and tensions the characters face surrounding these boundaries and relationships.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in 'Howards End', the sense of gender boundaries is so vividly written that one can not only gain an in depth understanding of this novel but also of the age. The writer discusses that the reader is introduced to an unfair society within England that holds so many flaws, yet the feminist political movement is identifiable throughout. The novel itself seems to be building up to some type of significant revolution or cultural change. It does this through the excellent creation of characters like Helen, Margaret and Mr Wilcox who represent figures within the social system. The writer notes that one can see the turbulent lives of these people gradually evolve through the three main families in this novel and not only by gender boundaries but also social class. The writer concludes that the events seem to signify a divided nation that shows a clash of interests, gender and class but ultimately something has to change.
From the Paper
"A perfect example is when Helen visits the Wilcox's and brings into the family discussion the idea of equality. Her description and opinion of Mr Wilcox's response shows just how much she fits back into the mould of the 'perfect woman', maybe without even knowing it. The simple fact that she feels ashamed of voicing a perfectly reasonable idea is brilliant in showing just how controlled women of that time were. What is even more significant is that fact that Mr Wilcox is the one doing the controlling. The final parts of the novel are in a way very different to the beginning, as the women are presented as much more libertaed especially Helen. The novel may well be representing the progression of female equality which was taking place during that period. Helen is a romantic and spontaneous but these are arguably qualities that a woman were condemned to have. Margaret has broken through by using the gift of peacemaker that she so carefully uses to make other characters closer. Despite the original feelings of many of the Wilcox family such as Charles and Dolly, it is Margaret who has succeeded in getting Howard's End along with the respect of her husband. At the very end of the novel she appears to mirror the first Mrs Wilcox through her gained experience, giving the appearance of wisdom yet has developed a larger sense of self worth and independence."

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)."

The Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler's "The Art of Happiness", 2007.
This paper is a critical analysis of "The Art of Happiness" by the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler.
1,860 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler's "The Art of Happiness" integrates, dilutes and distorts the message of traditional Buddhism to make it more accessible to Western readers and Buddhism-enthusiasts. The author points out that this book was written to give Cutler the opportunity to boil down the Buddhist teachings of the Dalai Lama so that they only deal with pursuing happiness and then to present those teachings through a lens of Western education and intellectual training. The paper stresses that Cutler's express purpose is not to provide readers with access to Buddhism as a religious and spiritual tradition. The author underscores that the book fails to impress upon readers that it has taken the Dalai Lama a lifetime of study and training through a traditional Buddhist education to achieve happiness and peace.
From the Paper
"For instance, at the start of Chapter 8: 'Facing Suffering', the story of Kisagotami, a woman who lived during the Buddha's lifetime, is presented. Kisagotami suffered the loss of her only child, only to be taught by the Buddha that her suffering was not unique but rather was a part of the lives of every living person. In a fashion typical of the book, Cutler doesn't use this example to launch into a discussion of how traditional Buddhism teaches that all life is suffering and that is only through Enlightenment that one can transcend this world and the endless cycle of rebirth. Instead, he fixates on the material component of the parable ..."

E.M. Forster's "Howard's End", 2005.
This paper discusses the role the character Leonard Bast plays in E.M. Forster's "Howard's End".

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."

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."

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.
