Abstract
This paper discusses human fulfillment (human salvation). Human fulfillment is the realization of that which human beings deem best. In Hinduism, this is 'moksha' realized by the getting together of one's soul with God. Buddhism presents a similar view of human salvation. It is that of 'nirvana' or the state of nothingness. Christians assume that Paradise is guaranteed to them. But they do hold the true belief that worshipping God is required of people.

Abstract
This paper explains Jean Vanier is well qualified to write a book like "Becoming Human" because he founded l'Arche, an international organization, which helps people with intellectual disabilities and another organization Faith and Light, which helps individuals with disabilities. Vanier's book is based on personal experience rather than solely being based on academic or religious grounds. The author points out that Vanier believes that loneliness be an important impetus that drives people toward change and evolution in their lives. The paper relates that Vanier notes that freedom, which is defined as sublimating personal needs and goals to truth and service to others, and forgiveness, which is defined as breaking free of personal prisons of hatred and resentment, are important in the path to becoming a fulfilled person.
From the Paper
"Personally, "Becoming Human" has a number of specific and meaningful implications. Vanier's discussion of the journey to human maturity is especially personally valuable and insightful. Writes Vanier, becoming fully human means bringing "our heads and our hearts together" (p. 2). For me, this is a useful insight and understanding, as I have always had a tendency to live with my head rather than with my heart. In the past, I have often made decisions that were based on logical conclusions, rather than heeding my intuition, or "heart". Occasionally, I have regretted these decisions, as while they may have led me to what should have been the best solution, I often felt dissatisfied, or that something was missing. Over time, I have come to realize that the best decisions are made with both the head and the heart in mind, an idea that is clearly supported within Vanier's thesis that to become truly human one must integrate the head and the heart."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the Internet has revolutionized the way businesses manage their information infrastructure and how the Internet has become the number one tool for collecting and disseminating sales and marketing data. The paper outlines the process that businesses have followed in order to take full advantage of the Internet's capabilities and cites several examples of businesses that have used the Internet to integrate procurement fulfillment, customer service, and sales.
From the Paper
"According to Muffatto and Payaro, companies which have moved their operations to the internet during the past decade have done so by way of taking full advantage of the technology which is available at any given time. When the industrial revolution occurred, businesses which still manufactured products by hand were at a competitive disadvantage to those who made the investment in assembly line machinery. A shop which manufactured automobiles one or two at a time had no means by which to stay competitive with the Henry ford company which was able to produce dozens of completed vehicles each day. Undoubtedly many qualified and quality automobile companies ceased to operate soon after assembly line technology came to the auto industry."

Corporation and Union Fulfillment, 2004.
An examination of the direction of labor unions today.

Abstract
The new leadership in the AFL-CIO is committed to putting the ?movement? back into the ?labor movement,? and there is now an opportunity for reflection on the role and strategy of organized labor in our society. This paper questions whether unions really matter anymore, and if they do, what their mission should be. Specifically, it asks whether there is a need to build a movement simply to represent our own members, or whether this movement have a wider role in society as a whole. Does the fate of the labor movement and workers? rights in the workplace concern more than the ranks of organized labor?
From the Paper
"For too long, there has been an irrational and self-defeating division of duties among progressives in the US Union workplaces, while other groups - the so-called social movements and identity groups - organize in the community. Even the term ?labor movement? has been reduced to mean simply trade unions, which are supposed to focus on narrowly defined bread-and-butter workplace issues - wages and benefits. This topical and organizational division of turf misleadingly implies that there is an easy division between workplace issues and other social struggles. Furthermore, it suggests that wages and benefits are somehow unifying and other social issues are divisive (Blanton 2003). These separate spheres of influence have resulted in the sad fact that US progressives have often marched in solidarity with labor movements and workers around the world, but often fail to consider the working majority here at home."

Abstract
This paper discusses that self-fulfilling prophecies can affect a person?s own behavior due to his own belief about himself. The paper states that stereotyping, whether racial, ethnic, or gender, can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies and can have positive or negative effect. The author continues to describe examples of self-fulfilling prophecies in many areas including education and sports.
From the Paper
"Race, gender, attractiveness and age stereotyping are alike in that inferences about another?s traits are based mainly from physical appearance. These appearance-related factors play a prominent role in forming initial impression due to the fact that the information conveyed is generally processed first by observers. Research has indicated ?that women are evaluated more favorably than men and that physically attractive people are evaluated more favorably than those who are physically unattractive.? "

Self-fulfilling Prophecy in Literature, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses that the self-fulfilling prophecy found in the scenes, wherein the main characters of these two short stories anticipate that something inevitably will happen to the characters, even though the possibility of this event happening is remote. The author points out that because of the actions and behavior of the characters and the unexpected turn of events in the stories, the main character?s fear turn into reality. This paper explores these important turns of event in both short stories.
From the Paper
"?The Blue Hotel? by Stephen Crane? also is another case wherein the main character meets his death because of his self-fulfilling prophecy. The Swedish/Dutch man, who have lodged in at Scully?s hotel along with an Easterner and a cowboy man, had prophesied that he would be murdered in that place by the four other man he?s with (Scully, Johnnie, Scully?s son, the Easterner, and the cowboy man). Although this prophecy by the Swede man is a remote possibility, it gradually became true because of behavior towards the men. His victory over a small fight with Johnnie over the Swede man?s allegation that Johnnie cheated made him haughty and proud, and he left the hotel confident over his victory. As the Swede man enters the town?s saloon, his proud and irritating manner towards the other customers prompted a man, identified as a gambler and a dangerous fellow, to kill him because of his rowdy treatment to the saloon?s customers. Thus, the Swede?s man prophecy that he will be killed became true, partly because of his behavior. However, the story ends with a great revelation?that Johnnie, indeed, had cheated the Swede man in their game of cards, and the Easterner remarks ruefully that the five men had plotted the Swede man?s murder??you, I, Johnnie, old Scully, and that fool of an unfortunate gambler came merely as a culmination, the apex of a human movement, and gets all the punishment." Thus, the Swede man?s prophecy becomes a reality, although now the readers discover that his prophecy was not predicted based on loose belief but was made based on the truth, which is that there would be an occurrence of disagreement because of Johnnie?s treachery and dishonesty in dealing with other people.

Stereotyping, Racism and Self-Fulfilling Prophecies, 2006.

Abstract
This paper examines why ethnic stereotypes develop, and how members of various ethnic groups are seen and see themselves. Various case studies are explored, in particular the example of Asian-Americans. Additionally, research is presented that shows how stereotypes are often based on expectations associated with membership in certain racial or ethnic groups.
From the Paper
"This profusion of ethnic slurs in our language obviously reflects the bigotry and prejudice in our cultural history. However, at a deeper level these words chronicle the history of ethnic conflict in American society. The number of slurs, their targets, and the origins of the terms show that most originated in historical situations--wherever groups met and fell into conflict. Contact and conflict, usually about economic matters, heightened the contrast of ethnic cultures, which led to culture clash and recoil. Ethnic slurs proliferated in cities where many ethnic groups lived in close quarters and bristled in their everyday contacts. Many of the words are genuine Americanisms--homegrown words first coined and used in this country. Many others are loanwords borrowed especially from British English, but also from Spanish, French, German, Yiddish, and West African languages--the languages of major immigrant groups.

Oedipus, 2004.
An examination of human destiny is Sophocles's "Oedipus Trilogy".
1,354 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Prima facie, human destiny, as ordained by the Gods and fate, is a strong theme that runs right through Sophocles?s "Oedipus Trilogy". This paper explains, however, that on closer examination, there could be grounds to build a case that Sophocles was possibly questioning the human tendency towards blind faith, which leads human beings to fulfill prophecies rather than following the dictates of their own individual will.
From the Paper
"Right through the three plays of Oedipus The King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone, it is evident that the people of ancient Greece consulted the oracles on all their problems and hopes. The very opening scene of the first of the three plays, Oedipus The King, sees Oedipus relying on a message from divine forces to save his kingdom and its people from the ravages of plague: ??I have sent Menoeceus? son,/ Creon, my consort?s brother, to inquire/ Of Pythian Phoebus at his Delphi shrine,/ How I might save the State by act or word.? (Para 3: 12-14) This first consultation, then, sets the note for the tragic events to follow as Creon returns from the oracles with the message that Thebes could only be saved when Laius? killer is found and slain: ?Banishment, or the shedding blood for blood./This stain of blood makes shipwreck of our state.? (Oedipus The King, Para 14) Thus begins the tragedy and travails of Oedipus and his offspring since the message from the oracles compels Oedipus to embark on a determined quest to find Laius? killer, not realizing that Laius had died by his own hands."

Fairy Tales, 2008.
Looks at several 'happily ever after' fairy tales and their relationship to culture.
2,240 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, like myths, fairy tales have great importance as cultural productions because they emphasize the basic aspects of each culture. The author relates that certain predictable ritualistic motifs, such as the wicked stepmother in "Cinderella" or the marriage between two antagonist characters, one ugly and the other beautiful, in "Beauty and the Beast", are absolutely essential fairy tale ingredients. The author also relates that the theme of love and marriage or the 'happily ever after union' is an archetype; wherein, the human being is fulfilled through his or her union with another being and the fulfillment is naturally achieved after a great quest and fantastic trials. The paper includes references to several fairy tales.
From the Paper
"Without being a general pattern, many of the folktales focus on the love union between a hero and the heroine. The blueprint here varies widely, but in many stories, the love bond is formed sometimes between two characters that belong to different worlds. It can be said in most of the stories one of the two characters that will be together "happily ever after" always pass through sufferance or great trails before the love bond is formed. Also, in almost all the fairytales, the hero is usually the active character who has to win the princess through great efforts and deeds while the latter passively waits for him. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, and in some stories the heroine is given the active role, while the prince is passive."

From the Paper
"The business involved is an import/export business, specifically for the personnel department. Coping with the needs of human resources management involves having an understanding of the information needs and capabilities of the entire organization both in order to fulfill human resource needs within the organization and to assure that there is a proper flow of information from every department to the Personnel Department so that needs are not only known but anticipated. In addition, the Personnel department today requires information systems which will provide a working knowledge of every applicant and the means of comparing applicants to select the best for a given position."

Abstract
In the Nichomachean Ethics Aristotle tackles a number of fundamental ethical questions. Chief among these is his consideration of the nature of happiness. As he argues, happiness is related to the fulfilment of the human function, which he takes to be acting in soulful accordance with reason. This essay will outline Aristotle's views on the subject and offer a critique emphasising the way in which Aristotle's definition of the human function neglects to value non-intellectual modes of life.

"Love and Hate", 2004.
Critical review on Suzanne Britt's essay on the human need to hate.
923 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper summarizes and reviews the Suzanne Britt's essay, "Love and Hate", and the point it makes about humans and the fulfillment they receive from hating others. The paper looks at Britt's idea that this need to hate supercedes the human need for love and that, while feelings of love are most often expressed in the written word, feelings of hate are most often expressed by deed.
From the Paper
"In her essay ?Love and Hate?, Suzanne Britt explores the human need to hate other people. Britt argues that many people receive a deep kind of fulfillment from hating others, and that hate will always supersede the quieter emotion of love. While many of her insightful comments have considerable merit, Britt?s acerbic and pessimistic assertion that hate is dominant over love is debatable at best, and outright incorrect at its worst. While we disagree on many important points, I agree with Britt's final assertion that love should be shared freely."

Freud and Nietzsche, 2008.
Compares Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche's conceptions of the human self.
1,340 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that both Freud and Nietzsche wrote at length about what it is that keeps people from achieving happiness and fulfillment. The author points out that, by rejecting the claims and holds of religion upon truth and its value in elevating the human condition, Freud and Nietzsche were revolutionaries. The paper suggests that, while both take similar approaches and appear to be judging the world from an objective standpoint, they both, especially Freud, clearly fall into their own subjective traps in delimiting the nature of the self, its habits, its inadequacies and its reason for being.
From the Paper
"Clearly, for Nietzsche, it is this desire to impose order upon the world that is the basic human drive, that which distinguishes people from animals, and is a basic need that all people share--which tells us why language exists, and science, and the law. This ability to impose an ordering on the world is what makes us human, the fundamental drive that creates order allows us to maintain that order and to be social beings. Perhaps it is the social aspect which is the real, underlying drive and which creates our need to believe that the world which surrounds us is classifiable, quantifiable and static."
