Abstract
The paper analyzes the central role of the ring in J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings". It looks at the power of the ring and how this single item drives the plot and actions of the book, with special reference to the character Gollum. The paper describes how Tolkien had to revise his previous work, "The Hobbit", so that its themes would fit in with the future role of the ring.
From the Paper
"Since the publication of the legendary Lord of the Rings trilogy and its predecessor, The Hobbit, many aspects of J.R.R. Tolkien's fiction have become popular culture and literary commonplace. From elves and hobbits to dragons and dwarfs, these tales of rich fantasy have inspired readers and writers, alike. Yet, at the heart of Tolkien's books is one central object, one looming item, The Ring. This Ring was so all-powerful and all-encompassing that it not only drove the plot and action of each and every word Tolkien wrote, but also forced him to revise a chapter of his first work, The Hobbit, in order that it should fit together with his remaining three books and the world and characters they spawned. It is this revision and this power of the Ring with which this paper will concern itself."

Abstract
Race plays an important part in shaping the lives of the main characters and their behavior throughout Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings: he Fellowship of the Ring". The paper shows how the hobbits must overcome their dislike of change and adventure to embark on the quest to destroy the ring, and the quest ultimately destroys their childlike hobbit innocence. Aragorn, of the race of men, must struggle with mankind's complicity in the evil of the ring, while the animosity between dwarf and elf is played out in the actions of Gimli and Legolas.
From the Paper
"The movie's main character, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) is one of the Hobbits. He is joined by his Hobbit friends Sam (Sean Astin), and Perry (Dominic Monaghan) on his adventure to return the ring to the fires of Mount Doom. Hobbits are essentially a race that is about half the height of men, with wide, hairy feet. They are by nature timid and childlike, and Frodo, Perry, and Sam live in the shelter of an idyllic shire before adventure sweeps them into their epic tale. Notes Bilbo Baggins (the uncle of Frodo) of the Hobbits, "Hobbits have been living and farming in the four Farthings of the Shire for many hundreds of years, quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of the Big Folk. Middle-earth being, after all, full of strange creatures beyond count, Hobbits must seem of little importance, being neither renowned as great warriors nor counted among the very wise"."

Married Relationships in Literature, 2005.
A look at how both Kate Chopin's story, "The Story of an Hour" and James Joyce's story, "The Dead", reflect on married relationships and how these relationships often do not live up to expectations.
795 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 28.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes the main characters in both stories and explains how these characters and the both stories' theme of death reflect the dull, lifeless state of most marriages. The paper points out that while Chopin and Joyce may have approached the subject of married relationships differently, in the final analysis, both authors end up with a telling commentary on how individual personalities and the drudgery of daily life result in a deadening of marital relationships and the individual spirit.
From the Paper
"Marriage is commonly defined as an intimate union of a man and woman, involving a special kind of love and commitment that facilitates a harmonious relationship and family life. Too often, however, the reality of marriage proves to be far removed from the idealized images projected by society and religion since individual personalities and the drudgery of daily living lead to a deadening of relationships. Indeed, this is precisely the revelation that both Kate Chopin and James Joyce make in The Story of an Hour and The Dead although the two authors approach the subject of married relationships from rather different perspectives. Both Chopin's Mrs. Mallard and Joyce's Gabriel are depicted as awakening to the true state of their respective marriages. The difference, however, between the two protagonists is that while Mrs. Mallard awakens to her need for liberation, Gabriel regrets the lack of passion in his dull existence with his wife."

CRM's Impact on Marketing: Fuel for Attracting, Selling and Serving Customers
Summary
From the Paper
"One of the most challenging areas of how companies are integrating CRM and marketing strategies is channel management, specifically Partner Relationship Management (PRM). This is the application of CRM strategies, tools, and techniques to the indirect channels that companies rely on for revenue. These are the distributors and dealers that companies sell their products through. To keep distributors and dealers selling their products, companies are using CRM systems to first understand the many priorities of their channels and second, to build loyalty with their distribution channel partners. Foremost in these efforts around PRM is lead generation and escalation, which is the generating, tracking and distributing of sales opportunities throughout distribution channels. In a critically acclaimed body of research, (Columbus 2003) claims that lead generation and escalation is critical for the long-term functioning of any channel management initiative. In his research, Columbus claims that Microsoft was able to increase sales by 30% throughout France using lead management and escalation for their mid-market ERP applications."

CRM's Impact on Marketing
Summary
From the Paper
"What had begun as a series of applications aimed at capturing customer information has transformed into a series of strategies for attracting, selling, and serving customers. This transformation of CRM has been directly attributable to the change in which members of organizations are acquiring the software. When CRM was first created IT Departments were the first customers, and the key success criteria of IT are quite different than line-of-business executives who have profit-and-loss responsibilities for their companies. These line-of-business executives have transformed CRM from a series of applications to a series of strategies supported by applications, and this is a critical point in the evolution of this area overall."

Abstract
This essay assesses the relationship between Eminem and his "agent", record label Interscope Record. Specifically the author aims to distinguish between a musician and his agent and the greater realm of principal-agent relationships - that between Detroit Rap and the labels that represent these rappers. Furthermore, the essay analyzes the relationship of Shady Records, Eminem's record label, which is controlled by Interscope Records.
Outline:
Introduction
Objectives of the Interscope/Eminem Relationship
Rewards of the Interscope/Eminem Relationship
Incentive Problems in the Interscope/Eminem Relationship
Reward schemes that are used to address the incentive problem
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In terms of how well these reward schemes alleviate the incentive problem, this reward scheme is perhaps one of the only things that keeps Eminem's controversial behavior in check. Empirical evidence that supports the use of these reward schemes is the fact that every major music artist in the world (even British pop sensation Lilly Allen, who famously started as an independent "My Space" music sensation) must sign with a record label in order to maintain career success. When artists do not reign in their controversial behavior, they are dropped - as Eminem alum and rapper 50 cent was dropped by Trackmasters/Columbia records when he was involved in a shooting accident (Internet Movie Database). At present, this existing incentive scheme seems to be the best and only one."

Abstract
In this paper, the author explores different aspects of relationships. His relationship with his roommate is used as an example in terms of conflicts and methods of resolution. The author analyzes his relationship with his roommate also in terms of their backgrounds and stress of daily life. The author concludes that he and his roommate have a healthy relationship.
From the Paper
"When conflict occurs, a relationship can be at risk (Krauss and Morsella, 2000). An interpersonal conflict is a disagreement between people whose goals are incompatible at least for the time being. People have different ways of coping with conflict. Some people avoid conflict while others are quick to tackle the issue openly. This is the case with Sam and me. He is naturally shy and quiet, while I am more outgoing and expressive. For this reason, it is important that we understand and respect each other's methods of conflict resolution.
We have found that the best way of approaching conflict is compromise and collaboration. Compromise involves a willingness to "give and take" with the other person--a skills that Sam possesses and I require some work on. Collaboration is about working with the other person toward a solution that meets the needs of each person."

Abstract
This paper shows how mental health nurses talk extensively about the relationship between the nurse and the patient and the use of this relationship. It is suggested that this relationship is a therapeutic one and this term is often used in the patients? care planning. The paper quesions what exactly nurses want to achieve in this nurse-patient relationship. The author of the paper suggests that one of the primary goals of this relationship should be to move power and control to the patient. Perhaps this could be seen as the objective or end goal of the relationship. The writer also suggests that mental health nurses often inadvertently remove control and power from the patient through the inappropriate use of this relationship. Several power theories, put forth by experts in the field such as Barnett and Hildegard Peplau, are discussed in relation to the writer's developing philosophy of nursing and own practice as a psychiatric nurse.
From the Paper
"Taking the time to know the patient is part of enabling empowerment and this is shown in the nurse-patient relationship through Peplau?s (1997) theory of interpersonal relations. Peplau discusses the nurse-patient relationship as requiring three phases to achieve a therapeutic value. This involves an interpersonal knowing between the nurse and the patient. There are three phases to Peplau?s framework: orientation, working, and termination phases. This writer suggests that in order to move the relationship from the orientation phase to the working phase, the nurse must identify issues of power and control in the relationship. Forchuk et al (1998) cites the relationship as powerful when moving through this transition to the working phase. This involves the nurse being consistent, available and valuing trust in the relationship."

Abstract
Who is at risk for an abusive relationship? How can those in relationships avoid abuse? What are the effects of an abusive relationship? Why do people stay in abusive relationships? This paper discusses and answers these questions about the impact an abusive relationship. It explains that they are destructive, have patterns, and can repeat themselves throughout generations. There are many different types of abuse, from physical to psychological, and each one can lead to emotional distress, loss of self-esteem, and even death. It mentions that abusive relationships have a long history, and as more is understood about them and what causes them, more can be done to aid both the abused and their abusers.
From the Paper
"Abusive relationships are extremely destructive to all the parties involved ? as much to the abuser as to the abused. Abusive relationships have often been hidden and out of sight, however, as they become more prevalent in a more violent society, more study has been done on them, and more opportunities exist for the abused to get out of their abusive relationships and begin new lives. The pattern of abuse can stop, but it is a long and difficult process for everyone involved, and abusers are never "cured" of their disease, they simply learn how to master it. Abuse in relationships is like any other addiction, such as alcohol, gambling, or drugs, and it must be treated as a disease, rather than simply a societal issue. Abusers need help as much as their abused relatives do, and that is the first step in ending the abuse pattern."

The paper also looks at the move to legalize same-sex marriages and the issue of AIDS.
From the Paper
"Over the last five decades the gay and lesbian movement has been instrumental in reshaping public perceptions towards same-sex relationships in the US. Essentially, it is impossible to study public perceptions towards same-sex relationships without considering the role of the gay and lesbian movement. For gay and lesbian individuals this movement has enabled individuals who had previously been ostracized and stigmatized from mainstream social networks to carve a niche and feel a sense of belonging in alternative communities. Even more significantly the gay and lesbian movement..."

Introduction
Method
Results
Discussion
From the Paper
"People with high self-esteem are somehow more motivated to repair their mood and are more likely to take the initiative to action in some way that would make them happier. (Heimpel et al. 2002) High self-esteem beings are more satisfied with their intimate relationships due to protection of self-worth and positive illusions. However, as much as these individuals idealize their relationship with their partner, there bound to be times when the conflict is too perceptible that challenges their belief in a perfect relationship; this should be when high and low self-esteem people differ with each other. If high self-esteem people do indeed have higher motivation to make themselves feel better; the hypothesis is that when positive illusions cannot play a role in repairing the negative feeling towards the relationship because the conflict is too overt, there is a high likelihood for high self-worth individuals to adopt the approach commitment (rather than the avoidance commitment) which is proven to be positively associated with relationship satisfaction. In other words, the reason for the tendency for high self-esteem people be more satisfied with their relationships is that their style of commitment which can enhance the intimate relationship. "

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Relationship marketing encourages organisations to develop a strategy that includes a 'clear and holistic vision of all the key stakeholder relationships.' (Batterley, R, 2002) Best practice organisations centrally coordinate their Relationship Marketing programme and customise it locally. (Batterley, R, 2002) Once the needs of an organisation are identified, important behaviour of customers can be interpreted and those customers most compatible and mutually appropriate can be individually targeted. (Lovelock et al, 2004, p151) (Batterley, R, 2002) Customer data is used in Relationship Marketing to tailor communication to individual customers who have a known value. (Batterley, R, 2002) An organisation which employs an Relationship Marketing programme will encourage interaction and feedback with their stakeholders in order to be aware of each party's changing needs. (Batterley, R, 2002) (Batterley, R, 2002)"
