Conclusion
From the Paper
"Dean Witter was formed in the mid-1920s in San Francisco; Morgan Stanley was formed in the mid-1930s in response to the Glass-Steagall Banking Act which placed restrictions on the banking industry. The two firms competed throughout the twentieth century with Dean Witter often taking major steps several years ahead of Morgan Stanley (for example, Dean Witter gained a seat on the New York Stock Exchange well before Morgan Stanley. Mergers and acquisitions characterized Dean Witter's growth while Morgan Stanley generated growth from within. Both companies were early implementers of computers and electronic data processing within their organizations. Dean Witter, a publicly traded company since 1972, was acquired by Sears in 1981; Morgan Stanley went public in 1986, the same year that Dean Witter launched the Discover card on a nationwide basis. In 1992 and 1993, Sears spun off Dean Witter, and the two companies merged in 1997 with headquarters in New York."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the financial firm, Morgan Stanley and the Swiss Bank, UBS. The writer points out that the goal of most financial institutions is to extend the deadlines for the loans given to its customers in order to match the deadlines of the institution's resources. Therefore, the proportion of long-term assets in the total assets indicates how prepared is a financial institution to face future difficulties. The writer notes that UBS is doing very well, with 97.6% and 98.8%, in 2003 and 2004, respectively, of its total assets being long-term assets. Further, the writer points out that the situation is similar in Morgan Stanley's case, 98.6% in 2003 and 98.9% in 2004. The writer concludes that both institutions are well prepared to face any potential risks, which explains in part the prestige of both Morgan Stanley and UBS.

Another unit is the asset management section, which serves institutions and individuals. The fourth unit is the U.S. brokerage division, previously known as PaineWebber. UBS has tried and succeeded to establish a common brand for all its acquired entities."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the Stanley Works company, particularly the human resources function as related to global expansion. The paper discusses how there are multiple human resources issues that arise when adapting operations to compete successfully in a global marketplace. The paper further examines how the consulting firm, Global Integrators, is working with Stanley Works to help them expand into the global marketplace. The paper explores how the Stanley name has become well known globally as a maker of quality products. The paper concludes that Stanley's human resource team will need to adopt a culturally sensitive organizational environment that considers not only the ethnic and cultural identities of the international nations Stanley works with, but also one that acknowledges the aims, objectives and strategies of Stanley corporation as a whole.
From the Paper
"The human resources function within Stanley may have a dramatic impact on the company's ability to expand successfully within India and other worldwide entities. The human resources function touches on many critical areas in the organization including staffing, training and compensation to name the least. Their policies and procedures ultimately impact the organization's culture, incentives, compensation and other systems that promote organizational development. It is vital that in a global environment the human resources firm operate in a manner that reflects the aims and objectives or organizational goals of the firms as a whole."

Recognition and Continuing Influence
From the Paper
"The early 20th century ushered in considerable interest in Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and Morgan was no exception. While Morgan agreed with evolution as a given, he wanted to know more about how natural selection occurs. The future Nobel Prize winner was interested in further explanations on the role of heredity in the transmission of variations among the species."
"Morgan was also interested in the work of geneticist Georg Mendel, who studied chromosomes. In 1910, Morgan publicly disagreed with the prevailing notion in embryology, that a fully-formed adult was already locked inside the ova or sperm cell. Rather, Morgan argued that there was no single chromosome that guaranteed the heredity of specific traits (Shine and Wrobel 1976)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"When Lord Stanley, Governor-General of Canada, became interested in the winter sport of ice hockey, along with his wife, daughter and seven sons, he expressed a desire to introduce a challenge trophy for the numerous amateur clubs that were, at that time, playing the sport for the sheer enjoyment of the game."
"The first team to hold the cup was Montreal, after Ottawa refused to play for the right to hold it, due to a misguided belief that the trophy should naturally be in their possession as Lord Stanley's favourite team. This, and the fact that Lord Stanley never saw two teams compete for the cup, due to his return to Great Britian, were the first two historical ironies that occurred following Stanley's donation of the cup in 1893."

Abstract
The writer discusses the three most significant things aspects in this book,which stand out as Miles Morgan and his immigration to America, Junius Spencer Morgan and his rise in financial banking, leaving his legacy to his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, and finally, the railroad in America, which neatly cemented the family's success and rise to domination of American and worldwide finance and investment.
From the Paper
""The House of Morgan" tells the story of the Morgan family, one of the wealthiest families in American history. Their history in the United States began in the early 1600s, when Miles Morgan immigrated to America from Wales, and settled in the small town of Springfield, Massachusetts. His ancestors would eventually found the venerable J.P. Morgan and Company, and literally create the modern American banking and finance systems. Today, Morgan is still a name to be reckoned with in securities, banking, and investing. The Chase Manhattan Bank purchased J.P. Morgan in the year 2000 for $36 million dollars, but Morgan Stanley continues to be one of the most recognized and prestigious investment companies in the country today, and the Chase alliance created J.P. Morgan Chase, another powerful and influential worldwide banking company (Milestones)."

From the Paper
"Dean?s political career began in the early 1980s, when he was elected to the Vermont State House of Representatives. He served there from 1982 until 1986, when he was elected as Lieutenant Governor of Vermont. He was re-elected to that post twice, in 1988 and again in 1990. Dean first became Governor of Vermont in 1991 not by being elected but because the sitting Governor, Richard Snelling, died suddenly of heart failure. However, Dean was re-elected five times, in 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2000. He did not seek re-election in 2002. After his fourteen-year tenure as Governor of Vermont, Dean decided to step down from his office to chase after the big seat in the White House. He became the first democrat to formally enter the 2004 Presidential Race in May 2002."

Edwin Morgan's Poetry, 2003.
This paper analyzes the diversity of voice in Edwin Morgan's poetry and the nature of authorial voice in general.
2,392 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 73.95

Abstract
The paper discusses how Edwin Morgan assumes a false persona in his poetry. In particular, the paper discusses the issue of the authorial voice, that is the voice or speaker used by the author when s/he seemingly speaks for her/himself. The paper looks at how the notion of authorial voice is understood by twentieth-century critics and illustrated in Morgan's poetry.
From the Paper
"Critics attempting to encapsulate the poetry of Edwin Morgan in a single term soon find themselves bewildered. His position as the most eminent contemporary poet in Scotland is, indeed, largely due to his enthusiastic multiplicity, in terms of language--Morgan has translated works from Russian, German, French, and even Hungarian--but also in terms of poetic devices. With some cubist restlessness, Morgan has created and abandoned techniques of his own devising: emergent poetry, performance and concrete poetry, instamatics, newspaper cut-outs and even wordless poems. Indeed, his awareness that language is a living and cleverly intelligent tool with which you can play gives rise in his poetry to a prodigious diversity of voices."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces and discusses James Dean, both his real life, and how it related to his role in the movie "Rebel without a Cause." It relates the themes of youth violence, and parent/youth relationships between James Dean and his personal life and the movie and real life in the 1950's.
From the Paper
"James Dean was one of the most popular stars of the 1950s. Ironically, he only made three films before he died, but they were all popular at the box office, and increased his popularity with his fans. The film he is most remembered for is "Rebel without a Cause," released in 1955, after he was killed in a car accident. Dean has always embodied the "bad boy," and "Rebel without a Cause" did nothing to dispel the legend. Dean lived fast, drove fast, rose quickly in his career, and burned out much too early."

The Stanley Obedience Study, 2004.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how experimentation as a primary research method for determining human behavior is specifically utilized in psychologist Stanley Milgram?s research on the nature of obedience among humans, popularly known as the ?Behavioral Study of Obedience? and also known as the "Stanley Obedience Study". It analyzes the study in terms of its importance in studying the relationship between the individual and society, as well as critiques raised about the psychologist?s research.
From the Paper
"In order to better analyze Milgram?s obedience study, specific details about the research must be noted. This study, conducted during the 1960s, was an experiment conducted in Yale University. The objective of the research was to determine at what conditions the subjects (units of analysis of the study) were more likely to develop destructive obedience. Thus, Milgram designed the experiment in such a way where the subjects under study were told to punish the victim (an accomplice) when s/he commits an error during the experiment. The activity that the subjects participate is a word-pair test, where errors committed by the victim/learner is correspondingly punished with electric shocks that increases in intensity as the victim increases his/her errors in the test. Through the experiment, Milgram concluded that ?[m]ore people do what they are told to do as long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority? (Santrock, 2000:563)."

A Marxist/Feminist Reading of Nelly Dean, 2004.
An investigation into the character of the narrator of "Wuthering Heights," Nelly Dean.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Writing against the Marxist and feminist readings of Terry Eagleton and Lyn Pykett, respectively, the author investigates the novel's narrator, Nelly Dean, to show how she is a more complicated character than meets the eye.
From the Paper
"In his Marxist analysis of Wuthering Heights, Terry Eagleton considers the role of Heathcliff as an analogy for industrial capitalism's pernicious rise in England. His analysis ignores, however, one of the key working class characters in the novel, Nelly Dean. He focuses primarily on Heathcliff, a character who is ruined by the social effects of capital, while ignoring Nelly, who is a key ideological subject of capitalism. Eagleton, for instance only mentions her "self confessedly biased testimony" (402) but ignores another important trait, that she is a servant and this helps make her a more transparent observer of the action which she retells Lockwood in the course of the novel. There is a negative consequence of this transparency, in that we sometimes lose track of Nelly the person in her recollection of events. The dehumanizing effect of capitalism renders Nelly as invisible to the reader as the families whom she observes. In Lyn Pykett's feminist reading as well, Nelly is only mentioned as an observer and not a character. She discusses how the two Catherines are formed as women, but does not stop to consider how Nelly is also formed as a woman. Nelly is written into the text as a woman every bit as much as the Catherines are. There is especially something to be said about how Lockwood, the other major narrator in the text, constructs Nelly as a woman figure in the novel. While the analyses that Pykett and Eagleton may do well with exploring the characters of the Catherines and Heathcliff, their assumptions and approaches can be useful in understanding the most prominent and least apparent character in the narrative of "Wuthering Heights", Nelly Dean."

From the Paper
"The average age for youth to become involved with a gang is between twelve to seventeen years. There is an increasing movement toward recruitment of elementary school aged youth. A contributing factor to this is that gang members know that states do not routinely prosecute younger children. This is a way for gang members to involve youth in their illegal activities, in an effort to remain out of jail. The younger children are extremely motivated to gain the approval of older male gang members, who they see as role models. It is increasingly necessary, then, that gang prevention education begins with elementary school age children."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the life of Henry Morton Stanley, a British/American explorer who ventured into the vast unknown Congo River Basin for the greedy Belgian king, Leopold II during the nineteenth century. It details his exciting adventures before and during his Congo exploration and evaluates how they were the epitome of the imperialistic adventures of his time. It examines how these adventures give us an insight into the great "scramble for Africa" that was going on during his lifetime.
From the Paper
"Stanley left the Union Navy in 1865 when the Minnesota returned to port, and began to start his career as a journalist by moving to St. Louis. There, he begins to travel to the American West and write dispatches for a local newspaper. His talent in journalism and exploration continued to grow and Stanley?s dispatches began to appear all over the United States. He was successful at recounting the ?corruption and sin? that was going on in many frontier towns. His flourishing career in journalism caught the eye of James Gordon Bennett Jr. of the New York Herald. Stanley was soon commissioned by Bennett to report on a British war against the Emperor of Abyssinia."
