Abstract
This paper addresses the topic of the message of commuters as a media. The paper examines the different perspectives of Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman on the message of computer media. The paper presents the arguments of both thinkers and argues in favour of McLuhan.
From the Paper
"The Message of Computers Marshall McLuhan was one of the most influential thinkers in the field of communications. His most influential theory was that, "The medium is the message"(McLuhan 7). What exactly does McLuhan mean when he says, "The medium is the message"? When explaining this statement McLuhan says, This is merely to say that the personal and the social consequences of any medium-that is, of any extension of ourselves-result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology (McLuhan 7). What this means is that the particular medium is saying a lot about our society."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Computers and computer peripherals are the lifeblood of Dell Computers. For this reason, they are also the primary thrust of their marketing efforts. Dell's computers are in the maturity phase of the product life cycle. They are under intense competition from direct to consumer manufacturers, such as Gateway. For this reason, their pricing strategy is to offer comparable products at the price point or slightly lower than their competitors. At this stage, very little differentiation, in actual product, occurs, as the computers are built with similar, if not the same, components."

Abstract
This paper examines how middleware enhances many critical aspects of a distributed enterprise system as seen in application, web, and messaging servers. It illustrates the strengths of Java Messaging Services (JMS) and the advances as a result of this technology.
From the Paper
"Enterprise systems were previously built on a two-tiered, client-server model wherein clients required direct access to a limited resource, which was customarily made available through a centralized server. Direct client interaction with these low-level services tended to be problematic in that any changes to ?server-side? code often caused clients to stop functioning correctly. "

The Leitmotif of the Message in a Bottle Thrown at Sea
Makes the Transition from the Old Love Story to the New Love Story
Forms the Lyrical Core of the Novel and Serves as a Confession of Love
Serves to Prove the Role that Chance Plays in Finding True Love
The Place of Love in Life
Lovers Often Use the Word "Forever" to Describe Their Love, Suggesting that Death is an Obstacle in the Course of Love
True Love Can Happen More Times during a Life- Span Due to Man's Inner Capacity to Love
Negative Criticism of the Novel
Loose, Unrealistic Plot
Tearjerker
Symbolic Meaning of the Novel
Love can be Destructive
Death and the Chances of Life Interfere with the Course of Love
True Love Seems to be Ill-Fated
Loss Happens Two Times in the Novel- Garret loses Catherine, then Theresa loses Garret.
Love has a Regenerating Power
Love can Happen after Loss
Novel's Circular Structure
Proof of the Regenerating Power of Love
From the Paper
"The human capacity for loving is proven as unquenchable: love can follow again even after the deepest relationship, although this feeling may be frustrating, as we see in Garret's case who finds it very hard to accept the death of his wife and to love again. Thus, love, life and death appear are very much connected in the novel, revealing an essential fact about the human condition: life and love seem to be somewhat in conflict all through the human existence. Man is first of all given life to, and his life span is delimited by destiny."

Abstract
This paper examines the way in which Louis Fischer, in his book "Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World", points to Gandhi's imperfections, idiosyncrasies and ultimately his mighty effort in kicking out the British rule from India. The author further discusses Gandhi's very human frailties and how he overpowered those frailties. It looks at Gandhi's constant struggle to find the ideal way of living a Bramhachari life and his occasional and baffling inconsistencies. The paper concludes that Gandhi's efforts to incorporate the ideas pertinent to his reformist Hinduism from Shelley, the New Testament and the Kuran, made him deeply involved with the idea of desirelessness and non violence for which he will be remembered for decades to come.
From the Paper
"In the biography Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World, Louis Fischer traces the life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi from birth to death in stages. Fischer tells briefly about Gandhi's earliest youth: his insecurities as a young boy, the influence of his mother's devotion to Hinduism on him, his struggle with the religious taboos and customs when he secretly consumes the forbidden goat meat from a Muslim friend, his marriage to Kasturbai at the age of thirteen."

Abstract
This essay deals with issues raised by Marshall McLuhan?s famous dictum: ?The medium is the message". The paper offers an analysis of Marshall McLuhan?s various essays investigating how this dictum applies and is supported or contradicted by the content therein. It also attempts to accommodate for modern technological trends such as the internet and takes into account the importance of other general media theories.
From the Paper
"Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) once wrote that he would never become an academic. Though he was learning in spite of his professors, he would eventually become Professor of English, in spite of himself. In a famous quote that is well related to his investigation of media, McLuhan says, ?I don?t explain, I explore?. His explorations of media and their significance in our daily existence took him through James Joyce, the symbolist poets, Ezra Pound; back to antiquity and the myth of Narcissus, and forward to the mythic structure of modern Western culture dominated by electric technology."

Acts presents a great example of the Christian mission, as well as providing the inspiration to complete that mission. Christians are called by God to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to all nations of the earth. The apostles were devoted to this mission, and would give their lives for it. This is the mission we as Christians are called to: To devote ourselves to the Lord and to bring his lost sheep into the fold."

An analysis of the poem "Song in the Front Yard" by Gwendolyn Brooks.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks' "Song in the Front Yard" and explore its peculiar construction; use or non-use of poetic devices and its underlying message. In particular, the paper delves into the manner in which Brooks carefully uses her art to amplify her message and how her narrator pining for freedom encapsulates the yearnings of young female children and of African Americans more generally, in 1940s America.
From the Paper
"The following paper briefly examines a poem, "A Song in the Front Yard", by Gwendolyn Brooks. In particular, the paper looks at the structure of the poem, the poetic devices employed and the underlying message of the poem (at least in the view of this writer). In the final analysis, the message of the poem seems to be about the allure of the "night life" and (more subtly) about how Gwendolyn Brooks wants to explore the world around her in a way that most young girls - certainly African-American girls - could not in the days of her youth. To begin with, the structure of Brook's poem contributes mightily to its power. For one thing, three of the four stanzas in the poem are comprised of four lines, with only the third stanza (comprised of eight) breaking this pattern (Brooks 1993)."

Questioning the Message, 2001.
An in-depth look at critical thinking and how we should not just assume things from statistics or accept things at face value.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the concept of critical thinking. He examines the world of academia, which he suggests is saturated with ideas, assumptions and statistics. He suggests that many educators strive to teach the skills to utilize these ideas, assumptions and statistics in both a scholarly context and in real life situations. He then contends that to assume that critical thinking skills are so easily transferable is far more complex. With this in mind he moves on to look at Stephen Jay Gould?s essay, ?The Median Isn?t the Message,? in which he suggests that Gould describes the difficulties of taking statistics and academic studies out of context. Gould does this by referring to a time when he was diagnosed with a disease and how easily he could have been misled by the statistics had he chosen not to use his own critical thinking.
From the paper:
?Gould points out these personal experiences to send a message to his readers. Generally one does not relate such personal details of one?s life to simply prove some academic concept. Gould wants his readers to take his experience and apply it. He tells the reader through his own account, to question everything, especially statistics. Humans have a tendency to hear statistics and interpret them without questioning what is really being said.?

Abstract
This paper looks at the way in which the media serves as a messenger of socio-cultural pressures and the ambivalence of gender based role changes.
From the paper:
"Today, women in the media offer us completely ambivalent images of perfection. We have warrior-babes like Xena, the Princess-Warrior, a popular t.v. series whose heroine is gorgeous, scantily clad, and who sets out to right society?s wrongs without the help of men. We have another riff on the warrior-babe with the mega pop-star Britney Spears, who has the fit, sculpted body of an Amazon, but the sexy, baby blondness of a modern-day Marilyn Monroe?a woman who flaunts her body and sexuality on the stage and in commercials, yet maintains that she is still a virgin."

From the Paper
"The Power Company is committed to excellence in every aspect of its operations and core values. From generating and supplying electricity for 2.25 million customers to educating children on electrical safety, the Power Company strives to surpass all expectations from its employees, the communities served, and the various governing bodies of authority. One of the main focal points of the Power Company is its commitment to safety for the employees. With the presence of extreme working conditions, hazards, and remote locations, the Power Company supplies its employees with bottled drinking water. The bottled water is not required by any governing agency, but it is an expense that the Power company deems necessary for the safety and good health of its work force. As each bottle of water is consumed, hidden expenses are created for the company. The concealed expenses that are incurred with each emptied water bottle are in waste disposal and the long-term effects on the environment. Recycling plastic water bottles is a program that the Power Company needs for both economical and environmental solutions."
