Abstract
The paper explains that the author?s main temperament type is the Guardian and Provider, indicating a dependable person who takes responsibilities seriously. The author states that the predispositions of his ESFJ type had a strong influence in his choice for a military career. The author believes that this temperament test is a valid indicator of his predispositions.
From the Paper
"Based on this test, I also learned that I have an externally focused value system. Much of the personal satisfaction from a career in the military derives from providing public service through an important social institution. Additionally, this value system is defined by moral codes enshrined within the community. Perhaps this is also why I am attracted to the military, where a well-defined rules and codes of behavior have been developed within a democratic setting."

Abstract
This paper presents the definition of the term "temperament". The paper identifies nine traits or characteristics of behavior in children, where every characteristic is on a spectrum from minor to intense. These traits are activity level, rhythmicity, approach-withdrawal, adaptability, persistence-attention span, intensity of reaction, distractibility, threshold of responsiveness, and quality of mood. The paper discusses each of these traits in an attempt to understand a child?s temperament.
From the Paper
"Temperament can be defined as behavioral inclination rather than behavior itself. Temperament, according to the temperament theorists is a natural and steady basis of later development of personality (Cicchetti; Toth, 1995). Although the theorists have the same opinion that formation of temperament is in the initial stage of life, yet they have different vision about what can be considered as temperamental components. According to Goldsmith temperament is the manifestation of primary emotions. He persisted that emotions give a tendency to the behaviors and psychological processes (Cicchetti; Toth, 1995). On the other hand, Goldsmith, Buss and Plomin define limited temperament as negative emotionality like distress. In addition, they included negative emotionality as sociability and activity for instance cadence, vigor or behavioral arousal. Whereas, Thomas and Chess defined temperament as behavioral styles that are in response to environmental stimulus. Here according to them temperament includes not aptitude, emotionality or inspiration, but rather rhythmicity (Goldsmith; Alansky, 1987)."

Abstract
This paper discusses and compares two books, focusing on the influence exerted by the guardian. The paper examines the influence exerted by the mentor in the character, Janie, from ?Their Eyes Were Watching God,? by Zora Neale Hurston and in an unnamed high school boy, from ?Battle Royal,? by Ralph Ellison. The similarities between each character's trials and tribulations are presented.
From the Paper
"The role a guardian can play, especially in the early stages of a child?s upbringing usually carries on through their later stages of life. The influence exerted by the mentor is seen in the characters, Janie from, ?Their Eyes Were Watching God,? by Zora Neale Hurston and in an unnamed high school boy from, ?Battle Royal,? by Ralph Ellison. Zora Neale Hurston was ?born on 7 January in Eatonville, Florida, to John Hurston and Lucy Ann Potts Hurston? she was the fifth of eight children.? (Harris, 51). Eatonville is also the town that Hurston?s character, Janie, spends most of her life in. Hurston?s writing style incorporates ??a sense of black people as complete, complex, undiminished human beings, a sense that is lacking in so much black writing and literature.?? (Kawash, 172)."

Plato's Republican Rulers: Guardians and Good Citizens, 2006.
A comparison of the definition of a good citizen in Books II-VII of "Plato's Republic" with that of Socrates' definition and identification of a good citizen.

Abstract
This paper discusses the ways in which Books II-VII of "Plato's Republic" confirm and contradict Socrates' identification of the good citizen with the philosopher. The problem of this identification is that the books progressively elucidate that the guardians are over and above the city by virtue of the appropriate natures they are born with, their training as warriors-philosophers, how and where they live, and their unique customs. They are not 'of' the polis as are the citizens over whom they are to police and rule. In so far as they are the guardians, by definition they are the good citizens.

Deceptive Fruits of Nature in Cuba:The Works of Julio Larraz, 2002.

Abstract
The paper features an in-depth analysis of the still-life paintings of Cuban artist Julio Larraz, which combine deep symbolism and emotion in vibrantly colorful palettes and scenes infused with drama, humor and psychological references representing the perspective of Latin American life under oppressive dictatorship in the 20th century. Julio Larraz is a celebrated contemporary painter who began to exhibit his works in the U.S. after 1967: the paper closely examines a number of specific works produced during the 1980s. Julio Larraz is currently an active, prolific artist, exhibiting his works in the U.S. , Europe , and Latin America .
From the Paper
?Within his still-life paintings, Larraz achieves visual transmission of his sentiments through the handling and selective placement of the natural forms of everyday objects. The still-lifes feature objects derived primarily from nature such as vibrant fruits, flowers, and shells, usually placed within or upon a man-made vessel, pedestal, or table. Repetitive use of the containment of organic objects within such vessels in works such as Four Lobsters in a Tub (1984) and All Hands Aboard (1983) is reflective of Cuba?s position in regard to U.S. ?containment? policies of the Cold War era, isolation of Cuba as a Communist regime within a Latin American sphere striving to embrace democracy and develop free-market economies, the economic isolation imposed by the U.S. trade embargo of the 1960s, and the futile attempts to halt the continuous outflow of millions of Cubans to U.S. borders. Larraz also made reference to disguised elements within society in portrayals of baskets filled with a variety of colorful fruits, among which the viewer may glimpse such espionage hardware as a camera, his chosen instrument of exposure (The Spy Ship (1980) and Mango Boat (1986)).?

Abstract
The paper studies the way Janie?s grandmother influences her life in Zora Neale's ?Their Eyes Were Watching God,? and the effect of the unnamed boy?s grandfather?s guardianship in Ralph Ellison's ?Battle Royal?. The effects of guardianship on the protagonists' outlooks in the two novels are compared. The paper looks at the settings of the novels and uses quotes from the books to illustrate the ways in which the protagonists were influenced by their guardians. The paper concludes by contrasting the differences in the guardianship experiences of Janie and the unnamed boy, focusing on the way that each character handles the influences of the guardian in later life.
From the Paper
"The role a guardian can play, especially in the early stages of a child?s upbringing usually carries on through their later stages of life. The influence exerted by the mentor is seen in the characters, Janie from, ?Their Eyes Were Watching God,? by Zora Neale Hurston and in an unnamed high school boy from, ?Battle Royal,? by Ralph Ellison. Zora Neale Hurston was ?born on 7 January in Eatonville, Florida, to John Hurston and Lucy Ann Potts Hurston? she was the fifth of eight children.? (Harris, 51). Eatonville is also the town that Hurston?s character, Janie, spends most of her life in. Hurston?s writing style incorporates ??a sense of black people as complete, complex, undiminished human beings, a sense that is lacking in so much black writing and literature.?? (Kawash, 172). This may explain why Hurston chose to focus on Janie and her experiences and not on the overall picture of racism that was still rampant during the early 20th century. Janie?s guardian was her grandmother while the boy?s was his grandfather and both of these figures were influenced early in their lives. Similarly, Janie and the boy were equally unaware of having been affected until later in their lives. However, while Janie resents the influence once she acknowledges this as the source of her failures in life, the boy is merely puzzled over his grandfather. Ironically although both these guardians had good intentions, their influence inexorably causes failures in Janie?s and the boy?s life. Since their guardians influenced both Janie and the boy, the ways in which these influences affected them will be discussed"

"The Republic", 2006.
A discussion of the role that the guardians played in Plato's Just Society as depicted in his "The Republic".

Abstract
This paper explains that in Plato's "The Republic" it was found that the education of the guardians was necessary to keep the city running and with their education they devoted their lives to pursue the common goals and good of the city. It concludes that once the individual and the other members of society or city were working in complete harmony only then would the circle be complete and everything would run smoothly.
From the Paper
"In asking if this society could ever be successful, the answer is no. The only way it could possibly succeed is if all of society is willing to accept knowledge and work hard for education. Even though there is no such thing as a truly unjust society a fully just society will never happen until people are willing to work for it. Another reason there can never be a fully just society is because everyone's perception of just is different. We know hat the idea of justice is there, but to explain it to where everyone agrees to the definition would be hard to achieve. However, in trying to find true justice the society becomes stronger and more just. Expressing individuality that benefits or hurts a society however reflects assertiveness, incentive, thought, and creativity, which in turn strengthens the society."

"PRESS COVERAGE OF THE ARMS SALE TO SIERRA LEONE: COMPARING AND CONTRASTING THE GUARDIAN AND THE DAILY MAIL
The recent coup d? ?tat and counter coup d? ?tat in Sierra Leone embroiled the British Foreign Office, the Foreign Secretary, and the Prime Minister in controversy.

Rumors also circulated that British mercenaries who largely staged the counter coup d? ?tat for the outset government in Sierra Leone operated, if not under the direction of the Foreign Office, at least with the knowledge of the Foreign Office.

Abstract
This paper examines the legends and historical revolution, and characteristics of the Sphinx, ancient Egypt's protector from outsiders. The author discusses how the creature defined Egyptian civilization, how it would terrorize outsiders with her famous riddle, and how she was revered by Egypt as a sacred figure.
From the Paper
"When we think of Egyptian art we immediately think of the monumental pyramids and inscrutable sphinxes, Shaw-Eagle 1999. Ancient Egypt has fascinated outsiders ever since Herodotus, the fifth- century-BC Greek historian, visited a civilization already thousands of years old. And the artistic splendors that captivated him -- the Great Pyramids, Sphinx and statues of the Old Kingdom , 2650 to 2150 BC -- still define Egyptian civilization in the Western mind. A monument for the Sphinx is found at Tanis in the form of the Large Sphinx. Made from pink granite it depicts the Pharaoh with a lion?s body. Sphinx in Greek showed a sort of monster, and in Egypt they represented the protection for the passages in religious buildings."

The Iraqi Conflict, 2005.
This paper discusses the advice that Machiavelli's "Prince" and Socrates' "Golden Guardian" would give President Bush regarding the Iraqi conflict.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Machiavelli's advice regarding the conflict between the Iraqi insurgents and President Bush would be explicit regarding the governance of Iraq: Do not leave governance up to the democratic will of the people because this will only stimulate chaos and revolt and allow minority clerics to stimulate discontent among fundamentalist sympathizers in Iraq. The author points out that Machiavelli would see it foolish for 'Prince' George Bush's own interests to attempt to create a Constitutional democracy in Iraq, which would self-destruct, and thus endanger his own power. The paper relates that Plato from his ideal Socratic oligarchy might agree that democracy would not be the ideal path for Iraq to follow; the problem with Socrates' analysis is that he seems to suggest the most faithful rather than the most popular should hold political sway but, when philosophical correctness within the dominant faith is polarized between Sunni and Shiite, a religious theocracy would be a disaster.
From the Paper
"Machiavelli would see a democratically elected, Constitutional Prince as anathema and unwise in this situation. In Chapter V of "The Prince", he specifically denotes what should be done concerning the governance of "those states which have been acquired," as Iraq has, through warfare and occupation. For states unlike Iraq, that "have been accustomed to live under their own laws and in freedom," such states should be allowed to remain free and constitutionally governed. "Because such a government, being created by the prince, knows that it cannot stand without his friendship and interest, and does its utmost to support him; and therefore he who would keep a city accustomed to freedom will hold it more easily by the means of its own citizens than in any other way.""

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This study utilized Rapee's (2001) model for the development of anxiety, in order to test whether there are factors, which protect children against anxiety. The study specifically suggests that anxious children should have a withdrawn and negative reactivity temperament, having experienced more negative life events than non anxious children and in response to these events, implementing an avoidant coping style. The study was conducted on 143 mother and child pairs. The study uses self-report questionnaires for both the mother and the child and the participants were instructed to complete these anonymously. The data obtained suggests that temperament is not a salient construct in regard to anxiety, with there being no significant differences in temperamental behaviour between high and low anxious children. The study also found that there was evidence of both negative life events and an avoidant coping style in highly anxious children.
From the Paper
"Anxiety is suggested to be the most common form of psychopathology in children, affecting around 10% of the population and is often severe enough to "interfere in daily functioning" (Spence, 1998 p 545; Rapee, 2002). Due to the debilitating effects of anxiety, it is important to identify the factors, which may increase a person's vulnerability to developing an anxiety disorder."
