Abstract
Sir Thomas More, also known as Saint Thomas More (because of sanctification by the Catholic Church), is probably best known for his confrontation with King Henry VIII, for which he lost his life. He was a statesman as well as a political and social philosopher. The paper shows that his most famous work is "Utopia", a book in which he created his version of a perfect society and gave his name to such conceptions ever after as "utopias." The paper analyzes the 1966 film "A Man for All Seasons (Fred Zinnemann) which recounts the story of More's refusal to change the law to allow King Henry VIII to divorce. The paper shows that the essence of the film is true to history, but there are elements in the film which are not.
From the Paper
"Contemporary evidence shows that More was a docile servant to Wolsey, while the film shows More railing against the Cardinal. More depended on Wolsey for position and advancement and so was careful not to give offense until after Wolsey fell from disgrace because he failed to gain papal approval for Henry's divorce. While More did later write with ironic wit about those who had flattered Wolsey, Marius says it is clear that More offered just as much flattery as the others (Marius, "A Man for All Seasons" 72)."

Abstract
This paper compares the personalities of Sir Thomas More and Henry VIII. The author argues that while More was a man of the Middle Ages, Henry VIII was a renaissance man and both approach, philosophy and politics differently. The author provides a brief analysis of the play "A Man for All Seasons".
From the Paper
"One might say that A Man for All Seasons depicts Sir Thomas More as being shaped more by the values and developments of the Renaissance than those of the Middle Ages. This writer will put forth a differing view: that while More had some of the trappings of a Renaissance man, politically and theologically, he was a man of the Middle Ages. It was his conservative theological views that led to his downfall and martyrdom. Henry VIII, on the other hand, was a man of the Renaissance: politically, theologically and intellectually. "

A Modern Conception of Man, 2006.
This paper analyzes the formation of the modern man in four literary works.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how few topics capture the attention of academics and non-academics in quite the same way as the psyche of the modern man. That is to say, people in the contemporary age tend to see the world around them in ways that would have been utterly inconceivable to their forebears. With that in mind, the paper explores four literary works; Shakespeare's "Hamlet," Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself," Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" and Tayeb Salih's "Season of Migration to the North." The paper notes how each of them emphasizes a modern conception of man which places humankind at the center of the cosmos, thereby displacing God.

Four Seasons Hotel, 2006.
An overview and analysis of the hospitality industry, using the Four Season Hotel chain to illustrate issues about managing costs and quality.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper notes that the hospitality industry, which includes travel, businesses, hotels, restaurants, and theme parks among other businesses, operates on a relatively small margin in most cases and can be adversely affected by economic changes and by customer dissatisfaction that then translates into bad word of mouth. Businesses like hotels and restaurants thus have to set and meet quality standards that contribute to customer satisfaction and also must provide customer service. At the same time, such businesses have to try to keep down labor costs in order to stay within the small profit margin they usually face. This paper discusses some of these issues by examining the way that the Four Seasons Hotel chain has managed costs and quality in recent years. The Four Seasons Hotel Chain is a Canadian-based company that began with one hotel in Toronto.

"The Four Seasons of Manuela" ( Victor W Von Hagen ), 1997.

From the Paper
"Victor W. Von Hagen, in The Four Seasons of Manuela, presents much compelling evidence that Manuela Saenz played a significant role in both the life of Simon Bolivar and, both directly and indirectly, in the unfolding history of South America. This study will support that argument, focusing primarily on Von Hagen's portrayal of Saenz from the point at which she first met Bolivar.
This is not to say that the successes of Bolivar would not have occurred, or that South American history would have been significantly altered, had Manuela not been a revolutionary and lover of Bolivar. It is to say that Manuela was vital to Bolivar as man and leader, and that she was one of many strong-hearted, dedicated individuals who played a part in the long struggle for freedom in South America.'

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine issues concerning the crisis of confrontation between individual beliefs and life itself, with a view toward discussing whether one can choose life over belief and still retain a clear conscience. Reference will be made principally to 2 Maccabees, the martyrdom of Saints Carpus, Papylus, and Agathonice in The Acts of the Christian Martyrs, Brecht's Galileo, and Bolt's A Man for All Seasons.
The ethical issue raised is the difficulty of choice between personal and other-directed priorities. In each text considered for this research, individual conscience, which is connected to faith, is in tension with institutional authority, and each text explores the consequences of such tension from a different angle.
In 2 Maccabees, two institutions at war, and individual conscience as an expression of faith is in crisis over loyalty to.."

Abstract
This paper discusses Edward Abbey's "A Season in the Wilderness", a record of his work for three summer seasons as a seasonal park ranger in the Arches National Monument in Utah. The paper contends that the author deserves respect for his ability to describe in great detail all the wildlife in the southeastern Utah desert. The paper claims that Abbey obviously took very good notes and kept an elaborate journal in order to later put a book together packed with rich detail and glowing narrative.
From the Paper
"The author, Edward Abbey, explains to the reader in the Author's Introduction, what it was like to work for three summer seasons as a "seasonal park ranger" in the Arches National Monument in Utah. He kept a journal during those seasons, which recorded his feelings and his activities: the desert where he worked, he writes, is a "vast world, an oceanic world, as deep in its way and complex and various as the sea." But his book isn't just about the stunning beauty of the land in southwest Utah, although Abbey says (1) the desert where he worked "...is the most beautiful place on earth.""

"Season of Migration" and "The Stranger", 2007.

Abstract
This paper examines Tayeb Salih's narrator in "Season of Migration to the North" and Albert Camus' Mersault in "The Stranger" and, in particular, their growth experiences by means of facing death. The paper relates that the narrator in Tayeb Salih's "Season of Migration to the North", voyages as far as England, never standing still, in an attempt to flee from facing himself. Only when he is standing toe-to-toe with death, does he begin to appreciate the gift of life and make a decision in its favor. The paper then compares the narrator's behavior to that of the character of Mersault in Camus' "The Stranger", in which he refuses to move in any direction to ensure his own safety. Yet, when he eventually accepts his terminal verdict he then chooses to live deliberately. The paper concludes that both the protagonists' confrontations with death serves as a window for both characters to transcend their fear and see themselves more positively.
From the Paper
"Both Salih and Camus indicate that the irrational fear of missing out causes equally irrational responses in those who suffer from it. Salih illustrates this pattern through his mountain allegory. "My sole concern was to reach London, another mountain, larger than Cairo, where I knew not how many nights I would stay," (26) says Mustafa exhibiting his urge to climb yet a higher mountain. His undirected greed aims at the future, because there he sees the potential of surpassing what he has already won. Regardless of any losses, he wreaks havoc amongst the British women for just the same reason: to live it all. "

Seasonal Affective Disorder, 2004.

Abstract
This paper offers some information of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) which is a depressive condition, seasonal in onset and occurs primarily throughout winter periods. The paper includes a review of the current literature and a proposal for an Australian study. High latitude locations, such as Norway, sport a high prevalence of winter SAD with mid-latitude locations such as China and Japan, experiencing reverse SAD, due to severity of symptoms occurring throughout summer periods rather than winter periods. Such review of the literature leaves methodology for a study within the mid-latitude location of Australia to concentrate upon hypotheses concerning the prevalence of both winter and summer SAD, with a higher prevalence of summer SAD anticipated.
From the Paper
""Seasonal Affective Disorder is a debilitating psychiatric disorder, which has only been formally recognised throughout the last two decades. SAD is a ?course specifier? for Major Depressive Disorder or Bipolar Disorder within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 4th edition (DSM-IV). This specification denotes that depressive episodes must be present within two consecutive years throughout specific seasons (ie. primarily winter however autumn episodes have been documented) with remission occurring, as long as psychosocial stressors are absent, throughout spring and summer periods (Lam and Levitan, 2000). Besides symptoms typically characteristic of depression such as loss of energy, irritability, fatigue, tendency to oversleep, daytime drowsiness, and social withdrawal; carbohydrate craving and resulting weight gain are atypical symptoms of SAD."
