Abstract
Both Immanuel Kant and David Hume hold that community, rather than merely individual response, plays a major role in the judgment of taste. Both Kant and Hume also hold that any single individual's judgment of taste is not superior over another's. The paper explains that for there to be a meaningful definition of "judgment of taste," there must be some measure which transcends limited comparisons between individual judgment. For these two philosophers, the author finds, this measure is in part in the thing being presented and perceived and in part in the community of individuals doing the perceiving and responding. Nevertheless, the paper shows that the best their grand thinking achieves is that judgment of taste is achieved only through some sort of positive consensus won by an object over a long period of time and, preferably, over several cultures as well. It argues that the fact that the works they refer to are exclusively by white European males does not support the argument about the importance of cross-cultural judgment.
From the Paper
"Still, even in such ideal circumstances, the individual will simply never be free of the "interest" which works to prejudice the individual's judgment on both the conscious and unconscious levels. If individual prejudice could be eliminated, of course, there would be no need for the philosophers to rely on the "community" aspect of the judgment of taste. The basis of this community aspect is a consensus, however Kant and Hume dress it up. If a work of art, for example, endures through generations and even centuries as an admired piece of work, as one which impresses the mind and stirs the emotions, then it can be said to have achieved a superior judgment of taste from the community."

From the Paper
"A comparison of competitive catering services reveals trends in private party formats, cuisine menus, theme and entertainment concepts. Competitive business can often provide valuable information to new and developing operations. Although competition wasn?t a major problem for the function operation because of the nature of this function- it is a university assessment. The consideration of the competition should not be ignored to help to maintain the function to be better and professional. Group 1 chose Chinese food and Group 2 chose Moroccan food. These 2 groups had exactly same location, facilities and support from the university teachers, and the 2 groups targets on the same customers- university students, lecturers, university staff, their own family and friends etc."

"A Morbid Taste for Bones", 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses "A Morbid Taste for Bones," written by Ellis Peters. The paper describes how, while the story follows the basic formula for a murder mystery, it is made more powerful than an ordinary detective tale due to the fact that it is set during the Middle Ages. The paper discusses the tale and how the author succeeds in bringing the events of the Middle Ages to life.
From the Paper
"This far-off historical period is made more accessible to contemporary readers, even readers who know little about the Middle Ages by the engaging personality of its hero, Brother Cadfael. It might be very difficult to relate to person of an era who took the words of the Bible literally, who believed in dreams as prophesy, and the absolute sanctity of holy relics. But Brother Cadfael, although a devoutly religious man, is also realistic and humorous. He did not choose a religious vocation when he was very young, like Brother Jerome and most of the other members of his holy order. Cadfael spent most of his life fighting in Jerusalem, in the Crusades. Now, he is happy to put his worldly cares behind him, having seen the world and all of its ugliness. Although he occasionally chafes against the restrictions of the monastic life, as when his prayers take him away from tending his beloved, medicinal herbal garden, he usually strives to be obedient and good: "He had, after all, chosen this cloistered life with his eyes open" (1)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the poem "I Taste a Liquor Never Brewed", by Emily Dickinson, comparing the effect of the beauty of nature to the effect of alcohol. The paper portrays the impressive use of imagery to represent drinking, nature, and purity, and the even more remarkable use of imagery to convey eternity and time sequence. The paper provides a stanza by stanza examination of the poem, further illustrating Dickinson's masterful application of imagery throughout the poem.
From the Paper
"Emily Dickinson?s poem, ?I taste a liquor never brewed,? compares the effect of the beauty of nature to the effect of alcohol. While the poem?s use of imagery to represent drinking, nature, and purity is impressive, even more remarkable is the use of imagery to convey eternity and time sequence. From the poem?s very beginning, ?The liquor never brewed,? until the last line, ?Leaning against the sun!? Dickinson uses imagery to relate the eternity of her persona?s love for nature. But more cleverly, she also creates a subtle time continuum for events that she mentions throughout the poem. It is common for poets to use imagery to call upon the reader?s senses, most commonly sight. However, Dickinson crosses new boundaries by adding imagery to communicate a time dimension that is evident in the transition from one stanza to another. Additionally, Dickinson is unique in her use of imagery to express humor. This is evident in the selection of the metaphor she has chosen as well as lines she uses to develop her metaphor and thee sequencing of stanzas."

"A Morbid Taste for Bones", 2007.

Abstract
The paper examines this work of historical fiction and mystery that shows the interests and field of knowledge of historian Edith Pargeter, the real name of the author. The paper discusses how Peters includes a great deal about village life and the religious life in the twelfth century. The paper relates that Peters is also skillful at evoking thoughts and emotions by outward signs that can be observed and described.
From the Paper
"Within this framework, Peters includes a great deal about village life and the religious life in the twelfth century. One element often used for dramatic effect involves unequal power relations, which in the era depicted have an authoritarian element tied to the power of the Church. This is evident as Sioned hints that her father might have been murdered on the orders of Robert, the prior, who shows his authority when answering. Peers contrasts the two as they face one another, "staring upon each other like adversaries in the lists before the baton falls" (101), a description right from the period involved."

"A Taste of Power" by Elaine Brown, 1999.
Critical review of the Black Panther Party leader's personal & political autobiography.

From the Paper
" Elaine Brown's A Taste of Power: A Black Woman's Story is, one hopes, only one woman's story and not the story of the Black Panther Party as a whole. In this gossipy, self-obsessed, and superficial memoir, Brown appears to be not a serious leader of a vital and important activist group of the 1960s and 1970s, but a Party groupie with little interest in or understanding of the concepts and goals which inspired the Panthers, however naive and romantic most of those concepts and goals might have been. If Brown is truly the woman she seems to be, it does not say much for the Panthers as a group, considering that she did, in fact, become chairman of the group in the absence of her mentor and leader, Huey Newton. Knowing she would remain loyal to him, Newton likely picked Brown in order to prevent a takeover by one of his rivals."

From the Paper
"Frances Temple, in the novel Taste of Salt, explores the oppression of two characters involved in the fight for justice in Haiti. As much as the story is about the struggle of Djo and Jeremie, it is also about the power of stories to change people and situations for the better. The novel may be about Haiti specifically, but it is a multicultural work in the sense that its power as an account of courage and faith cuts across all cultures, nations and nationalities. This study will focus on that courage and faith of the two heroes of the book insofar as their story and their strength offer hope to people of all cultures in their personal and political fight for justice and freedom.
Djo's story is told to Jeremie and her tape recorder at the behest of Father Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who is trying to oust ..."

Henry Allison's "Kant's Theory of Taste", 2002.
This paper reviews Henry Allison's critique of Kant's theory of rational judgement.

Abstract
This paper examines Henry Allison's critique of Kant's theory of rational judgement and then highlights and explains the difficulties Allison has with Kant's theory. Specifically, this paper explains Allison's view that, in contrast with Kant, one cannot have a "disinterested liking" toward the object being judged.
From the Paper
"The aesthetics of taste and the merits of rational judgement are often posited as binary opposites. Yet rationalism did not lead Kant to exclude taste from his system of philosophy. Instead, taste figures prominently in Kant?s analytic, notes scholar Henry Allison in his text on Kant?s Theory of Taste. (2) The theory of disinterested taste advanced in Kant?s Analytic of the Beautiful is explicitly in dialogue with his German philosophic contemporaries. It attempts to define a pure judgment of taste, which Kant believes must be devoid of all interest. ?Everyone has to admit that if a judgement about beauty is mingled with the least interest than it is very partial and not a pure judgement of taste.?

Abstract
This paper uses the definition by Benner, Tanner and Chelsea that clinical judgment is often based on patterns of responses, the specific case and the people involved in the situation. The author points out that making a clinical judgment requires nurses to use critical thinking skills. The paper relates that often clinical judgment is based on the patient, family, diagnosis and the situation.
From the Paper
"What is clinical judgment? How does a nurse decide what clinical judgment to make in different cases? The definition by Benner, Tanner, and Chelsea states that clinical judgment is often based on patterns of responses, the specific case, and the people involved in the situation. Making a clinical judgment requires nurses to use critical thinking skills. Often clinical judgment is based on the patient, family, diagnosis, and the situation. The definition of clinical judgment by Benner, Tanner, and Chelsea makes common sense. This definition of clinical judgment most nurses will agree that it is the best definition because past experiences and knowledge mixed with the relationship the nurse has with the patient and family are combined in making clinical judgments.

Abstract
Many of the same forces that are driving globalization are also fueling new interest in what childhood developmental differences exist among different countries in an effort to better understand how these differences may affect interpersonal relationships and social patterns in increasingly multicultural societies. While it is reasonable to assume that children all over the world share many of the same wants, needs and desires, it is also reasonable to assume that there are some fundamental differences that exist concerning what control or agency these children have in the construction of their own habits, tastes and consumption patterns as well. To identify these differences and determine their impact on modern societies, this paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature with a specific focus on the United Kingdom as well as an examination of these issues as they relate to other countries in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia as well. A summary of the research and salient findings are presented in the conclusion.
Outline:
Introduction
Review and Discussion
Cultural Influences of the Development of Individual Habits, Tastes and Consumption Patterns
Implications for Control or Agency of Children's Tastes and Habits.
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In their book, 'The Politics of Consumption, Daunton and Hilton' (2001) report that consumption patterns that involve children have been the source of increasing attention in recent years: 'The status of individual goods has inspired particular moral critiques. Goods have been criticized for undermining control of the self such as alcohol, tobacco and other narcotics. Goods themselves may be morally acceptable, but the way in which they are produced, by non-free or sweated labour, may be the cause of moral and political complaint. And goods have been criticized when consumed by particular sections of the community, such as by children or by those who have inspired 'moral panics'' (p. 3). According to these authors, 'Within the modern state, the history of consumer politics and citizenship can be better understood as the history of the rights and duties which societies and individuals attach to consumption' (Daunton & Hilton, 2001, p. 13). Indeed, globalization is being driven by such consumption patterns and it is reasonable to assert that as children in the emerging nations of the world gain access to the material goods enjoyed by their counterparts in more affluent societies, their perceptions of what is good and bad will be swayed as well. As these authors put it, 'It is not so much a history of how consumer rights have been constructed and incorporated into state-sanctioned notions of citizenship, but a history of how rights and duties, the central pillars of liberal citizenship, have been constantly redefined in their relationship to consumption' (Daunton & Hilton, 2001, p. 13)."

Film: "Judgment at Nuremberg", 2007.
This paper argues the broader implications of Stanley Kramer's 1961 film "Judgment at Nuremberg" not only in the context of its original release at the height of the Cold War but also in the milieu of the 21st century War on Terror.

Abstract
The paper explains that "Judgment at Nuremberg" is remarkable for its willingness to consider the collective guilt of the German people and, even more troubling, of people from other countries. The author points out that the power of this film lies in the complexity with which it represents such issues as responsibility, accountability and guilt in the context of a Hollywood social problem film and within the conventions of courtroom drama. The paper concludes that the film also reflected the events of the early 1960s, at the time "Judgment at Nuremberg" was made, which included the trial of Eichmann in Jerusalem and the enduring injustices in the United States that would become the Civil Rights struggles. The author believes that this film still has implications in the 21st century social, legal and political debates over the treatment of terror suspects in the War on Terror and the extent to which elected representatives should be held accountable.
From the Paper
"From a theatrical perspective, the casting of prominent Hollywood stars on both sides of this question is significant. It can be cynically said, as critic Pauline Kael quoted in her review, that this film is "an All-Star Concentration Camp Drama" given the number of stars involved. However, the casting of such an "heroic" leading man as Burt Lancaster as a prominent German leader can be read as a theatrical "sign" to the audience from the outset of the drama that "judgment" in this film will be more complex than if the Germans were stereotypical villains."

Abstract
This paper offers a discussion and analysis of the artwork entitled "The Judgment of Paris," by Lucas Cranach the Elder. Specifically, the paper describes the subject of the work and analyzes it with regard to its expressive content. The paper attempts to answer the following questions: What statement do you think the artist wanted to make? What techniques did the artist use to make this statement? "The Judgment of Paris" depicts a famous mythological scene with great attention to detail and reality.
From the Paper
"Lucas Cranach the Elder was a German painter who lived from 1472 to 1553, and painted in the Northern Renaissance style. This painting, "The Judgment of Paris," is tempera and oil on wood, which measures 401/2 x 28 and Cranach painted it sometime around 1528. Cranach enjoyed painting in a natural style, blending his figures with the surrounding landscape, and this painting is a good example of his technique (Editors). The landscape behind the figures is quite detailed. It even includes a medieval castle on the edge of a towering cliff, along with a medieval town set off in the distance in the valley, with a ship floating serenely in the town's harbor."
