From the Paper
"David Ogilvy is known as one of the primary experts in the field of advertising, and his Ogilvy on Advertising is looked upon by many of his peers as the definitive text on the subject. The purpose of this paper is to write a critical evaluation of what the book's primary ideas are, offering as many opinions and examples as possible.
Ogilvy wants to deal with all aspects of his career, and so he includes a section for the novice on how to break into the business. For the most part, Ogilvy emphasizes education. For example, he states that "to get a job in the Research Department of a good agency, you probably need a degree in statistics or psychology" (p. 35).
It is clear to the author that nothing can replace on-the-job experience, but he is a firm believer in the fact that a good ..."

"Introduction
During the 1980s, much of American business focused on improving its quality process in order to better compete with the Japanese. Great attention was paid to issues such as just in time inventory, total quality management and quality circles, and the American quality expert Deming was both hailed and vilified in the press for having introduced fundamental quality concepts to the Japanese some years before. David Kearns was CEO of Xerox Corporation during the 1982 to 1990 period, a time when the company whose name is synonymous with photocopiers faced intense competition not only from American competitors such as IBM and Kodak, but also from the Japanese. During the 1980s, the company undertook a rigorous quality program designed to transform the way the company did business. At the beginning of the 1990s, the ..."

Abstract
This paper will argue - through a comparison of these two works of art - that the physical aesthetics of both sculptures can only be understood in terms of the cultural contexts that produced them. Their significance and that of their respective visions of male beauty, thus requires those who approach them to do so with reference to the specific talents and genius of the men who created them.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the book "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens. Specifically, it traces the development of the character of David from the beginning to the end of the novel. It describes his character through examples of his actions throughout the novel and shows how he developed and matured within the time frame of the story.
From the Paper
"David's change is certainly for the better, and that is what Dickens attempted to convey throughout the novel. All of David's experiences create the adult he becomes, and he would have been a far different character if he had not experienced every bit of every obstacle thrown in his way. He was strong enough to survive cruelty, and wise enough to recognize those who positively influenced him, and those who negatively influenced him. Sometimes he needed help from those who loved him, but he grew into a good man on his own, and the change from young innocent to kind but wise adult was certainly a transformation for the better. As a young man, David did not question the motives of others, he simply naively accepted them, while as an adult, he understands the need to question, but still maintain hope and a positive attitude. He also can accept the love of others, which allows him in turn to fully love Agnes. He could have become a bitter and broken man if he had allowed himself to wallow in despair during his darkest times. He did not, and because of this, he changes, but he changes for the better and for his own good."

Sculptures of David, 2001.
Compares Donatello's bronze "David" & Michelangelo's marble "David." Functions & styles of statues; iconographic choices made by artists.

From the Paper
"Donatello's bronze David (c. 1430) and Michelangelo's marble David (1504) are, nominally, treatments of the same subject. Yet -- considering the fact that both drew on the same iconographic tradition, were made within seventy-five years of each other, were created in Florence and credited with political meanings, and were important landmarks in the influence of classical art on the Renaissance -- it would be difficult to imagine two sculptures that were more different. A comparison of these two works will demonstrate how the sculptors made iconographic choices suited to the functions of their statues and how each man took a different approach to the integration of the antique into his style."

"The Rise of David Levinsky", 2006.
A review of the novel "The Rise of David Levinsky" by Abraham Cahan.

Abstract
This paper reviews the Abraham Cahan novel "The Rise of David Levinsky". The book is a multi-layered study in the life of David, a young Jewish boy living in abject poverty in Russia. Cahan writes about the passing of David's mother, his Talmud studies, and then his efforts to raise enough money for passage to America, at which point the book becomes a portrait of the Jewish immigrant experience. The author of this paper continues to trace the plot line of the book, underscoring the details with the over-arching theme of David's tension between his religiosity and his immigration, and between his inner identity and his desire to become an American.
From the Paper
"From this point on, the book becomes very much a portrait of the Jewish immigrant in America, starting with Davie's very first experiences on a foreign shore. "The immigrant's arrival in his new home is like a second birth to him. Imagine a newborn babe in possession of a fully developed intellect. Would it ever forget its entry into the world? Neither does the immigrant ever forget his entry into a country, which is, to him, a new world in the profoundest sense of the term and in which he expects to pass the rest of his life." (Book V, Chapter 1) The emotion that Cahan expresses through Davie's character is very Jewish and brings back distinct memories of the Jews entering the Promised Land of Israel. I strongly feel that Davie's and other Jews' experiences of entering America were so much stronger at the time because they had no homeland of their own except for the one that had been snatched away from their forefathers centuries ago and because they had been treated with such disdain and cruelty in other parts of the world. This, combined with the fact, that America had been built up as the land of Davie's dreams, makes his arrival on American soil something resembling a highly religious experience."

Solomon, David and Israel, 2002.
Examines the reigns of Solomon and David in ancient Israel.
3,315 words (approx. 13.3 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 94.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Looks at the differing historical assessments of the nature of Israel during the rules of David and Solomon and whether Israel could be classified as a kingdom during those times. Examines both the traditional view, where David and Solomon are considered central to Jewish history, and the position taken by a group called the "new archaeologists" who claim that David and Solomon were, at best, small-time leaders of local tribes.
From the Paper
"Such an analysis is more a matter of commentary on the text than any sort of historical analysis because until recently there was little clear evidence that David or Solomon even existed, and many scholars have claimed that they did not. Under the traditional view, David and Solomon are considered central to Jewish history. A group known as the "new archaeologists" claim that David and Solomon were at best small-time leaders of local tribes, making the greatness of Israel under their leadership is a matter of exaggeration. For instance, they doubt that Solomon ever built the great temple as described in the Bible. These scholars are also known as the "minimalists" because they believe in a minimal interpretation of the evidence available about ancient Israel."

»

Abstract
The paper relates that the David Associates is a self-administered and self-managed real estate development company in Florida's lucrative West Palm Beach area. The paper discusses how the intensity of rivalry between competitors in the real estate industry is at an all-time high. Yet, the paper reveals that an external analysis of the David Associates shows that the company is in a strong competitive position. This group has been providing services in the South Florida area for over twenty-five years, a very long time for such a competitive industry sector. The paper explains that the continued success of the David Associates is due to the relationships that they maintain with their clients and customers.
From the Paper
"The David Associates is a self-administered and self-managed real estate development company that develops, redevelops, acquires, manages, operates and owns a diverse portfolio of office, industrial and retail properties in Florida's lucrative West Palm Beach area. Palm Beach County is one of three counties that comprise the South Florida metropolitan area, and it is the third most populous county in the state. The value of the real estate property in this area is very valuable, due to its near location to an oceanfront paradise, numerous fine dining restaurants, and adjacent cafes, shops and nightclubs."

David Establishes a United Monarchy, 2006.
This paper analyzes King David's life, rise to power and unification of the Israelites.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper details David's historical success in gaining power and unifying the people of Israel. This paper also discusses David's complex character that learns from each experience and recognizes the value of keeping promises and honoring alliances. The author of this paper examines Deuteronomy's theory that David's rise to power and unifying the Israelites was simply because he was appointed by God to do so. This narrative offers a steady path of intellectual growth and self-awareness that would contradict a strict Deuteronimistic interpretation.
From the Paper
"However, David also takes his men into battle against other tribes, and does not shrink from wiping out entire populations because he does not want survivors to spread the word that he has restricted his attacks to Canaanite peoples. He has also been building his own wealth with booty from his conquests. In addition, he takes two wives, Abibail, the wife of Nabal and Ahinoam of Jezreel."

Michelangelo's "David", 2006.
The history of Michelangelo's "David".
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains how the statue of "David" became the symbol of Florentine liberty, and served as an inspiration to every Florentine. The writer explains that Michelangelo's study of human anatomy is evident in the way he created the body of "David". The paper compares Michelangelo's artistic style to other artists of his day. In conclusion, the writer states that the statue of "David" is such a powerful work of art that it could convert a non-believer into a believer by the force of its beauty.
From the Paper
"The beauty of David encompasses not only the superb physical beauty, the lithely strong body and face of a Greek god, but the inner force of a man imbued with supernatural powers that can only be derived from a Supreme Power. It is the inner force the statue of David exudes that captivated the Florentines and inspired them when they so badly needed inspiration. This inner force has made the statue of David a masterpiece for all civilizations, past, present and future. "If Michelangelo would have only created the outward physical beauty that art historians believe embodies that era, the statue of David would still have merit, but this would not have satisfied Michelangelo, who was in pursuit of perfection, as a means to reach his own Creator. Michelangelo worked with energy and passion on David. The statue of David embodies the energy and passion of Michelangelo and also of the man who once ruled the Jews. Michelangelo once said that art was from heaven. If this is so, the statue of David was divinely inspired and as divinely inspired as the boy king of Israel once was."

King David of the Old Testament, 2005.
This paper is an extensive discussion of the history, symbolism and controversy surrounding King David of the Old Testament.
3,055 words (approx. 12.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that of all of the famous central characters of the Old Testament, King David is, without a doubt, both one of the most interesting as well as the most relevant with regard to the life of Jesus Christ. The author points out that King David is not free from controversy; many scholars have put forward theories concerning everything from his supposed homosexual tendencies to the possibility that he may not have existed at all. The paper relates that King David is chosen, not to reveal commandments concerning moral or right conduct as in Moses' case nor to "sacrifice" in order to prove his devotion and faith such as Abraham, but to be almost "installed" by God to fulfill the very temporal and practical purpose of ruling the nation of Israel, the chosen people of God, both, within his lifetime and as a function of his descendant, who will be the messiah.
From the Paper
"Although one might imagine that in the face of such goodness and upright behavior, David might regain his senses, perhaps dulled now by power and privilege, and show his repentance by following Uriah's example, he, instead continues in his sin--by now approaching murder for is own selfish gains. Here, after trying once again to sway Uriah by getting him drunk, he notes with dismay that Uriah, even in his drunken state, will not betray his principles, and again sleeps at the king's door. Thus, in frustration (and, perhaps envy), David writes a letter to Joab and sends it with Uriah, himself, ordering Joab to put him in the front lines of battle and thereafter abandon him, "...that he may be smitten (11:15).""

The Iconography of David, 2002.
This paper discusses the iconography of King David as a antetype of Christ.
3,920 words (approx. 15.7 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 106.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses that the flexibility of the image of David can be seen from the earliest Christian art through the High Renaissance. This paper refers to his portrayal as king in the Utrecht Psalter of the early ninth century, a depiction of the beheading of Goliath on a sculptured capital from the twelfth-century pilgrimage church at Vezelay and excerpts from the Davidic narrative in a thirteenth century psalter from Canterbury. The author states that the uses of the figure of David makes a point regarding the position of the Church in relation to secular authorities.
From the Paper
"The key to medieval iconography was long thought to reside solely in the "more restricted religious or dogmatic purposes" of Christian imagery, but it was also understood that political questions that involved the church were frequently commented on by the symbolic content of many works (Alexander 6). Once scholars began to look at Christian art as "a representational matrix that both codified and strengthened social values and thus ensured social cohesion" throughout Christendom; however, the full range of concerns addressed by the work has become more apparent (6)."

David Orr and Aldo Leopold, 2005.
Compares views on ethics and economics in books by David Orr and Aldo Leopold.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
David Orr and Aldo Leopold have overlapping views about ethics and economics in their books. Throughout David Orr's book, "Ecological Literacy," Orr often refers and agrees with Leopold about an assortment of subjects. David Orr has a sense of respect for Leopold and his views ranging from education to economics. The paper shows that, throughout Aldo Leopold's book, "A Sand County Almanac," Leopold portrays a deep understanding of ecology and the wilderness while taking the reader on a journey of the land. The paper examines how Orr and Leopold have many views on the environment that overlap throughout their books.
From the Paper
"Throughout the second part of Orr's book he discusses the role of education and what it must play in a person's life. Orr (1992) stresses that, "all education is environmental education,"(p.). and quotes Leopold throughout this part of the book numerous times. Orr believes that education must help students get acquainted with deeper causes of crises that lie ahead in their future, such as sustainability. He (1992) discusses the ecological literacy and sustainability and believes that "failure to develop ecological literacy is a sin of omission and of commission," (p., Orr). Orr believes "we" need to know the basics about the earth and how it works before "we" learn about anything else, if this does not happen students will start to believe that ecology is unimportant, unlike history, math, and science. He also feels that students only learn what is sufficient to get through classes, but do not do anything about ecological deterioration."
