Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that music has been a constant fascination to man learning new ways to portray thoughts and emotions. The writer compares the work 'The Silmarillion' written by J. R. R. Tolkien and the 'Spider Woman Stories' by G. M. Mullett, noting that the main tool of creation in both is music. The writer points out that 'Silmarillion' is one story that uses music as a tool of God, Iluvatar to create existence. In the 'Spider Woman Stories', Spider Woman and Tawa used their song to create the creatures that inhabit the earth and the song of life to change them from clay into living beings. The writer concludes that given Jung's definition and the shared commonalities of music in vastly separated cultures, it can be argued that the similarity between 'Spider Woman Stories' and the 'The Silmarillion' is the result of an archetype that has spanned cultures and ages.
From the Paper
"The Silmarillion written by J.R.R. Tolkien is one story that uses music as a tool of God, Iluvatar to create existence. In the story of Ainulindale, Iluvatar created the Ainur and thought them themes of music and they sang to him, at first alone or in a small group because each song represented a part of Iluvatar's mind. While the rest listened they were able to slowly learn about their fellow Ainur and comprehend more and more of Iluvatar's mind. Eventually, they were able to sing in harmony and Iluvatar presented them with a great theme declaring that together they will be able to make the most beautiful thought come to "life" through song. As they sang, Melkor, the most powerful of the Ainur brought in his own thoughts and created discord in the music singing more powerfully than the rest, until all the Ainur fell silent and Iluvatar stood up and created a new theme in the song, and it was beautiful but Melkor felt he could contend with it and brought his music in an uproar, and so on for three themes until all fell silent. Iluvatar led the Ainur into the Void and said behold what your music has created and showed them a vision of the world, streaming with the thoughts of each Ainur, and improved by the wisdom of Iluvatar."

Abstract
This paper asserts that Fuentes used his writing as an opportunity to create and re-create the social reality of the lives of the people of Mexico as they shaped and continue to influence the development and history of their country. In order to establish this thesis more fully, the following works of Fuentes are examined: "Aura" (1965), "The Buried Mirror: Reflections on Spain and the New World" (1992), and "The Years with Laura Diaz" (2000). Initially, an overview is provided of Fuentes' thoughts on writing and his use of writing in documenting the lives of Mexicans and the history of Mexico, his homeland. This is followed by a discussion of Fuentes' works as each illustrates his efforts to construct and re-construction Mexico?s reality through the lives of her people.
From the Paper
"Through his writing, Fuentes has assumed a commitment for insuring that his readers as well as himself take responsibility for reconceptualizing the manner in which they perceive both the past and present of Mexico. His desire to accomplish this task is clearly documented by Fuentes himself when he provided the following description of the role of Latin America within history: "To restore some kind of tragic consciousness ...to make the United States understand that memory counts--that there is history, and that it does not renew itself every 24 hours when Dan Rather appears on the set" (as cited in Lippard, 1990, p. 6). As is evidenced within this statement, Fuentes presents a challenge to himself as a writer as well as to his readers to recognize that the social construction of reality that may be presented to us in the world around us may not be an accurate representation of reality and history as it truly exists."

Creationism, 2006.
This paper discusses creationism, which rejects scientific theories that contradict the Biblical story of creation.
1,026 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that creationists reject the scientific theories regarding the origin of life, the origin of the human species, the geologic history of the earth, the formation of the solar system and the origin of the universe. The author points out that a second kind of creationism, "creational spirituality", holds that, rather than theory, awe is the appropriate response to the unfathomable wonder of creation. The paper also explains that Neo-Creationists want to allow the Bible to be one of the choices of theories that are given to school children in public schools as to how the earth was formed and mankind came into being.
From the Paper
"A wave of Revivalism swept the South to counteract Modernism and Intellectualism. There was conflict between the liberals and the conservatives in society, between the Evolutionists and the Fundamentalists. Things came to a head in the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, when John Scopes, a high school biology teacher, was tried for teaching the theory of evolution. The trial was widely covered by the most famous broadcasters in the nation. In the trial, also called the "Scopes Monkey Trial," it was decided that it would be legal to teach evolution in the public schools."

Transformation of Creation: Hesiod and Ovid, 2008.
An analysis and comparison of the creation themes in Hesiod's "Theogony" and Ovid's "The Creation".
1,673 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 54.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper notes that humanity has searched for the means and the language to explain and comprehend the creation of the universe since its own beginnings. The paper also explains that both Hesiod and Homer responded to this need to explore the origination of the world and mankind through their respective oral and literary traditions. The paper then goes on to discuss how Hesiod's "Theogony" and Ovid's "The Creation" both relate to formulating understandings of the creation of the cosmos, and notes their similarities and differences.
From the Paper
"Hesiod's Theogony stands at the beginning of European literary tradition--written between 800 and 600 BCE. His three major works of poetry were assembled synonymously with those of Homer (Lamberton 1). He remains as one of the four mythic bards who are recognized as a "source of Greek tradition" (Lamberton 1). Despite his humble origins as a Boetian peasant (Lamberton 8), Hesiod's account of the origins of the universe is said to be one of many, but its survival and later influence over authors such as Ovid speak to the value placed upon it by later authors (Lamberton 12).

A paper which examines the underlying meanings in African-American blues music.

Abstract
Blues music has been considered an important and popular music genre in the history of American music. The paper discusses one of the most important and significant characteristics of blues music - the fact that it illustrates double conscience, wherein an underlying meaning can be found explicitly or implicitly in the song?s lyrics. Examples of themes are the social and personal experiences of the African-Americans in their lives as slaves of the white American society and as laborers in most Southern cotton plantations. The paper examines how the social and personal relevance of blues music to the black Americans is evident in many works of literature depicting black American slavery such as Frederick Douglass' , ?Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave.? The paper also analyzes three Blues songs to show how the theme of double conscience - ?Strange Fruit? by Billie Holiday, ?No Education? by Lightnin? Hopkins, and ?Black, Brown, and White? by Big Bill Broonzy.
From the Paper
"Meanwhile, ?Black, Brown, and White? by Big Bill Broonzy is a song that generally discusses certain issues about discrimination among people who have different physical colors: the Blacks, Whites, and Browns (or the mulattos, as they are commonly called). Broonzy?s song utilizes colors as the primary aspect that distinguishes the privileges that an individual should have. All throughout the song, the line, ?? if you is white/ You?s alright/ If you?s brown/ Stick around/ But if you?s black/ Hmm, hmm, brother/ Get back, get back, get back? is repeated after every stanza, to further reinforce the fact that among the physical differences of people in the world, the Blacks are considered the most unfortunate of all, denied the opportunity to obtain a good job, to receive a high salary, and to enjoy the simple leisure and joys of life. Once again, the song utilizes narrative description as a way to illustrate and extend the message of discrimination to black Americans because of physical appearance and the issue of injustice and unequal treatment among people of their race (African-American)".

Creation Stories, 2006.
This paper explains and compares the Norse or Hungarian creation myth and the "Old-Man-in-the-Sky" creation myth of the Salish tribe of North America.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the one common theme, found in both stories, is the presence of the "all powerful", which, in the "Old-Man-in-the-Sky", was the one who had complete control over all things on earth and, in the Norse story, was father eternity who had control over the world. The author points out that some of the key features of the "Old-Man-in-the-Sky" myth are the distinction placed on the white man as inherently different from the Native Americans and the essential part played by a beaver, an otter, a bear and a buffalo, which are found in the area the Salish people lived (northern parts of Washington stretching to Montana). The paper states that both of these myths reflect the cultures of the people who adopted them and help explain why each society performs the way they do.
From the Paper
"The second of the creation myths comes from the Salish Native American Tribe and sometimes called the Flatheads. There are only two main characters to this story, Old-Man-in-the-Sky, and Old Man Coyote. This story begins with the world already created by Old-Man-in-the-Sky. After creating the world, Old-Man-in-the-Sky drained off the water and collected it into the "big salt holes" to from the oceans, and the land dried out except for the lakes and rivers. One day Old man Coyote became lonely and went up to the sky world and would talk to Old-Man-in-the-Sky."

Abstract
This paper discusses the influences of big industrialists such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, and other big bosses of the trust that led to the creation of the United States Federal Reserve Bank (also known as the Fed). The paper then further discusses their role in the creation of the Fed in the early 1900s. It particularly discusses how their influence resulted in their financial power on the corporate, governmental and institutional level in the United States, as well as on a global basis.
Table of Contents:
Objective
Introduction
I. The Panic Of 1907
II. Jekyll Island
III. Rockefeller's Role In The Creation Of The Fed
IV. Carnegie's Role In The Creation Of The Fed
Summary And Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is clear that Carnegie and Rockefeller money was invested in the motivating and directing forces of the establishment of the Federal Reserve System. The discovery made in the research of this subject leads to the discovery of some very sinister political ties which existed between these two named wielders of financial power on the corporate, governmental and institutional level in the United States as well as on a global basis. This power moves throughout the entire scheme of history and continues to move in today's world events. The New Standard Encyclopedia states of the Federal Reserve System that: "After World War I, the Federal Reserve System followed various policies designed to increase the supply of bank credit. It was believed that the economic growth of the country required such measures, but some authorities now think that these policies contributed to the 1928 stock market boom and collapse." (New Standard Encyclopedia, Vol. 3 Chicago Press, 1984) Certainly the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations are both still active in today's world through the many funding programs of each which leads one to further considerations in study in pursuit of obtaining knowledge of the powers that have shaped the historical development of the United States government and policies."

The plan of the research is to set forth the basic components of each of the stories and then discuss ways in which the pattern of ideas contained in each resonates with the other, with a view toward identifying reasons grounded in theology for which two disparate creation myths might be deliberately included in a single scripture source. Anybody who does not have a religious background ... "

The Creation Story of the Apache, 2002.
This paper discusses the importance of the creation story in the lives of the Chiricahua Apache.

Abstract
This paper examines the history and folklore behind the creation story of the Chiricahua Apache. The creation story is presented to the reader, and is referenced throughout the paper. The history of the Apache is discussed, including where and how they lived, their connection to the land and how the creation story would influence their day-to-day decisions. According to this paper, their religion was central to all aspects of their lives, their behavior and means of survival. Their interaction with the white population, whether violent, or friendly, can all be traced back to their belief in their own creation story.
From the Paper
"By the beginning of the 17th century the Chiricahua Apache had achieved, from what can be determined from the archaeological record, a relatively settled way of life. They grew corn as well as other crops such as beans ? although there were certainly still semi-nomadic groups. Their joint dependence on agriculture and nomadic food collection and herding may have been due to the sporadic nature of rainfall in the Southwest. Nomadicism is a rational response during a year in which there is not enough rainfall."

Abstract
This paper compares the Sumerian, Babylonian and Egyptian myths regarding the creation of the world. It analyzes each creation myth individually and then compares the central elements and cardinal features found in them. The paper emphasizes the main themes of each myth and discusses the history and background of each of the myths.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Sumerian Creation Myths
Babylonian Creation Myths
The Egyptian Myths
Comparison And Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another theme is the conflict between the gods which accompanies this division and disruption. Lastly we have the creation of the various parts of the universe, the earth and humanity; usually aligned with the qualities or powers of the different gods. This is followed by the creation and the maintenance of order. While this is a rather simplistic overview of these complex myths it does serve to show that these important mythological structures have central and cardinal points of similarity and this in turn suggests that the view of creation has some common origins and views in different cultures."

Creationism plus Evolution?, 2005.
This paper discusses if creationism should be taught in the schools alongside evolution.
830 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the two basic theories about the origin of human life are evolution (or Darwinism) and creationism about which there are conflicting opinions as to which theory is correct and which theory should be taught in schools. Some people feel that creationism and evolution should both be discussed in the classroom and presented as equally valid theories. The author points out that many people feel that it is inappropriate to be teaching creationism in public school classrooms because it is religious doctrine, which is not appropriate under the Constitution of the United States that separates church and state. The paper concludes that both theories should be presented in the classroom as opposing but not necessarily mutually exclusive explanations for the origin of humanity.
From the Paper
"A large percentage of Americans, including many teachers, believe that creationism is a more valid theory than evolution. A study in 1996 found that most American completely reject the idea that evolution is the origin of humans. Another survey conducted in 2000 found that nearly 40 percent of Americans believe that creationism should be taught instead of evolution in the classroom, and many believe that evolution should be outright banned from the classroom. Further studies show that half of all Americans and Canadians do not consider evolution to be a valid scientific concept. Many have not been convinced by the scientific evidence with which they have been presented, and believe that evolution is scientifically unfounded."

Creation Myths, 2002.

Abstract
This research compares and contrasts the creation myths of Babylonia (En?ma Elish) and the Judeo-Christian tradition (Genesis) through a discussion of the pattern of ideas in each creation myth and how they relate historically to each religion. The paper tells the creation stories as related in these myths and compares how they impacted the religious belief systems of those particular religions, and others closely related to them.
From the Paper
"The creation story of En? ma Elish--named for the first words of the story, "When above" or "When on high"-- predates the Genesis version of creation by an estimated 500 years, having been dated at 1950 BC. The earliest written Semitic sources, which survive as fragments of various Old Testament books, have been dated at the fourteenth century BC (Babylonia). According to Senior (RG2-3), Genesis was composed around 1000 BC and gives an account of events and personalities flourishing from a period roughly equivalent to the time of the En?ma Elish, 1850 to 1250 BC, the estimated period of the narrative events. However, the written Hebrew record corresponds to a strong and highly consistent oral tradition among the Hebrew generations (Senior RG6)."

Her unique style and diction led to her popularity, along with her controversial hit ?Strange Fruit.? ?Strange Fruit? was a criticism of the way blacks had been treated in the south; it referred to the hanging of blacks from trees. Holiday collaborated with several famous artists of the time, including Count Basie and Artie Shaw. Her impact on music history is immeasurable, as well as her influence on artists of the later 20th century."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer firstly defines creationism as a system of belief that maintains that humans, the earth, and the universe were created by a supreme being or deity. The writer explains that creationists believe in a god who is absolute creator of heaven and earth, out of nothing, by an act of free will. The writer then examines the history of creationism.
From the Paper
"Creationism is generally defined as a belief system which holds that human beings, the earth, and the universe were created by a supreme being or deity, either ex nihilo or from preexisting chaos. Many Creationists consider their beliefs to be compatible with science, explain that certain scriptural accounts of creation should be interpreted as metaphors, or believe that scientific laws and mechanisms were created by supernatural intervention."
