Abstract
This paper reviews a series of short essays dealing with the changing face of American cities compiled in the book, "The New American City Faces its Regional Future: A Cleveland Perspective". The paper explains how the book, which contains essays from several different authors while focusing primarily on the future of Cleveland in the new world order, also has a very national perspective and speaks at length about the problems of urban centers across the country. The paper discusses Part One and Part Two of the book and summarizes the authors's opinions regarding Cleveland's present situation, the role of Cleveland's city hall, and top-down style reform. The paper also summarizes how the authors deal with the reconstruction of a city and the need for mandatory regional government that overrides the local rule of suburbs.
From the Paper
"Two basic situations were appraised by all of the writers in the first half of the book. The first had to do with the staggering inequality that coincides here with a deeply segregated living arrangement. Cleveland is apparently among the top five most segregated urban centers in the country, and the reason for this phenomenon is explored by all. The second issue is that of urban sprawl, with each author suggesting a course of action that might revitalize the inner city."

Centuries of internal strife within the Roman Catholic Church including warring popes and a focus on worldly i.e., material matters, also helped ripen the sowing field for..."

Abstract
This collection of essays is written to gain admission to the MBA program at the University of Maryland. The first essay is a personal history.

The third essay explains what the writer would do if given financial security. The writer states that since he feels he already has financial security, he would look for a job that allows him to travel. The fourth essay discusses the writer's volunteer work, and how he used his skills in finance to help with organization.

From the Paper
"To prepare to open my own firm in the global marketplace, I will need to do more than simply learn about the technical aspects of the business world. Global trends and problems inextricably affect large-scale businesses. For instance, the global business community must take responsibility for reconciling financial interests with human rights, especially given the exploited workers worldwide. I see my background as a volunteer as an aid in maintaining that insight and moral compass."

Abstract
This paper examines the differences between two travel essays - "A Vocabulary for My Senses" by Timothy Bascom and "By the Big Sea Water" by William Least Heat-Moon. The writer explains that in the essay "By the Big Sea Water" Heat-Moon makes it alive, interesting and emotional because of the connections he sets up with the memories and feelings of a little boy. The writer further explains that the travel story told by Timothy Bascom in "A Vocabulary for My Senses" is very different. The writer notes how (in this essay) memories on their own would be interesting, as the physical details are rich and exotic, and vividly remembered, but the emotional side is also very rich, and makes the "travel story" that much more memorable and interesting. The writer then describes a personal travel experience and its lasting impression and effects on the writer.
From the Paper
"In "By the Big Sea Water," William Least Heat-Moon writes a wonderful story that is part travel story, part nostalgia trip. He brilliantly evokes the nostalgia of a boy traveling with his father, seeing Lake Superior from this perspective. Obviously a lot of the importance of this trip for the boy was connected to the fact that he was with his father. This is clear from the fact that the father is physically present for us. For example, the little boy remembers his father in the wobbly cafe of long ago."

"Essays in Persuasion", 2004.
Discusses how John Maynard Keynes saw the role of the economist and how it is reflected in his work, "Essays in Persuasion".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Keynes saw the role of the economist as an advisor on centralized government economic policies. This paper shows how, in "Essays in Persuasion", Keynes argues that Europeans of the time had a tendency to believe that the world they lived in was immutable and unchangeable and that this belief resulted in a certain blindness to the economic realities of the time. As such, Keynes argued that the role of the economist in such a society was to advise the government on public policy decisions. The paper shows how economists, such as John Buchanan, linked themselves to the Keynesian school of thought, while others, such as von Hayek, have moved away from Keynes's active role in the political sphere.
From the Paper
"Keynes' accuracy in economic forecasting lends some credence to his thought that economists may be useful in the political arena. Specifically, in Essays in Persuasion, Keynes is remarkable in his ability to forecast political and economic events. He warns of the economic troubles the affected Europe and the United States will encounter after reparations against Germany in WWI. Notes Keynes, ""If the European Civil War is to end with France and Italy abusing their momentary victorious power to destroy Germany and Austria-Hungary now prostrate, they invite their own destruction also, being so deeply and inextricably intertwined with their victims by hidden psychic and economic bonds"."

From the Paper
"I. The Meaning of Christopher's "An Atlas of Apartheid"?
A.J. Christopher (1994) promotes a hypothesis in his book, The Atlas of Apartheid, that the very foundation of the apartheid system was based on spatial concerns. The architects of the apartheid system were convinced that the preservation of the white race as well as its political and economic dominance were linked to a separation of the races. Christopher analyzes the history of the apartheid era in South Africa in terms of the classic approach of atlases by looking at time, space, and demographics.
Christopher traces the roots of apartheid back to the colonial era as Dutch colonists came to South Africa in search of cheap, plentiful, farmable land (Christopher, 1994, 9). Many of the important concepts underpinning apartheid philosophy and the.."

From the Paper
"Editor Hal Foster states in the preface to his book, The Anti-Aesthetic: Essays on Postmodern Culture, that he brought together the essays for this work in an effort to present a dialogue on the meaning of postmodern culture as reflected in all the arts. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss postmodern culture, its theory and practice, its affect on design issues, and its influence on society and reaction from society.
Foster defines postmodernism as a "conflict of new and old modes--cultural and economic" (xi). The anti-aesthetic relates to an interdisciplinary cultural position on the present time. It is his aim to reflect various different views coming from different art forms in order to stimulate thinking about the diverse nature of postmodernism and the anti-aesthetic.
In theory, postmodernism refers to the moving away of the..."

Two Essays about New York City, 2004.
This paper compares two essays about New York City: A.J. Liebling's "Apology for Breathing" and, a half-century earlier, Jacob Riis's "The Down Town Back-Alleys".
1,400 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 0 sources, $ 46.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Riis was a crusader, while Liebling was a wit, but they both strike the same chord on the single issue that defines New York-ness. The author relates that Liebling points out that the speech pattern known as "New Yorkese" is essentially the speech of the Irish in Cork in the early 19th century, which was when so many Irish emigrated. The paper reports that both men saw New York as a collection of microcosms of many differ types of groups of people who are very much aware of each other.
From the Paper
"Riis writes about robbers hiding in the oversize sewers at Cherry Street, hiding the loot they got either from what little their neighbors had worth stealing in the local tenements, or some really good stuff from the fine houses that had moved farther uptown when the immigrants and the blind and infirm moved in downtown. He writes about vicious fights between landlords in which one landlord built uninhabitable buildings simply to block out light from the filthy apartments providing roofs, but little more, for the other's tenants. If the landlords ever thought they could force rivals' tenants out, they must have been mistaken. At the time, 100,000 or more lived below 14th Street, that is, in the oldest parts of New York City. They couldn't' afford to move uptown."
