Abstract
This paper discusses Oprah Winfrey's accomplishments as a global media leader and philanthropist. It discusses her leadership characteristics as evidenced from her show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, O, The Oprah magazine and The Oprah Winfrey Foundation. It also looks at her skills in motivating and encouraging others and creating a teamwork environment.
From the Paper
"Oprah is a person of integrity because she honestly believes in the ideas she promotes. Moreover, she promotes ideas that encourage and benefit others. A side effect of this is the fact that through her kindness, she motivates others to be better people. For example, the Oprah Winfrey Foundations are active in the area of "global humanitarian efforts in developing countries" (Precinct Reporter). In 2002, Winfrey's Christmas Kindness South Africa "brought a day of joy to tens of thousands of children" (Precinct Reporter). This program provided orphanages and rural schools "food, clothing, athletic shoes, school supplies, books and toys" (Precinct Reporter). In addition, Winfrey forged an alliance with South Africa's Ministry of Education, which intends to build the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls South Africa" (Precinct Reporter). These are few examples of Winfrey's integrity. She is committed to more than just making money for herself. She wants to help others discover their true potential. In this instance, we can see how Winfrey truly cares for others and is sincerely interested in helping them in any way that she can. These involvements also illustrate how Winfrey knows her job. In fact, it shows that she knows her potential above and beyond her job."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic of Oprah Winfrey and her business interests. Specifically, it includes her role as a business leader, how she organizes and controls her employees, and her role as an entrepreneur.

It examines how her success as a businessperson matches her success as a talk-show host and how it has made her one of the richest people in the world and one of the most generous philanthropists.
From the Paper
"When she began Harpo in 1986, she had five employees. As of 2002, she employs 221 people, and a high percentage of them are women (68 percent). She has a minor turnover of between 10 and 15 percent (Sellers 3), and she seems to run a tight and successful ship, but there have been rumors that she is a difficult and demanding boss from former employees. Some of her former employees have called the workplace "chaotic" and "narcissistic," and Oprah requires her employees to sign a lifelong confidentiality agreement, something rather unheard of even in the entertainment business (Sellers 3). Despite these criticisms, most employees say the pay and benefits are "outstanding," with 6 weeks of vacation per year, generous pay and bonuses, and a spa and gym located inside the company headquarters as just some of the perks employees can expect working at Harpo (Sellers 3)."

Abstract
This paper looks at Oprah Winfrey, a mega-star in America at the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, who is so well known and familiar to the public that everyone refers to her on a first name basis whether they know her or not. It examines Oprah Winfrey and her rise to super stardom and also comments on her unique kind of stardom which is more than superficially matched with philanthropy and wanting to help others and change the world.
From the Paper
"Oprah Winfrey was not born into riches or stardom, but instead suffered through a childhood of rural and ghetto poverty. This type of upbringing may be one of the reasons that she is so committed to social causes and to fighting poverty and helping people out as a mega-star. But it is also something unique to Oprah's character that
makes her remember the lessons learned in a youth of poverty, because going back and trying to help people you know are suffering is not done by all people once they make a lot of money. Many hip hop stars for example say that they are still all about ghetto poverty when they are driving around in hundred thousand dollar cars, rapping about how much money they make and how many possessions they own, and in fact if they went back to the ghetto they are so proud of they would have to bring fifty bodyguards."

From the Paper
"Oprah Winfrey is an example of what it takes to be a good leader because with almost every one of her endeavors, she is helping others. While Winfrey is probably most well known for her talk show, she has not let her fame or popularity prevent her from doing good things. In fact, she has used her position to help others in ways that many people are unable to do. Providing aid for orphans in Africa, starting an Angel Network, and opening an academy for girls are just a few examples of how Winfrey is a natural leader that can take almost any idea and turn it into something that will benefit others as well as herself.

From the Paper
"Of course, there was the memory of Martin Luther King. The flamboyant Jesse Jackson was often on news programs. Oprah Winfrey was the one black person who not only gained entry into millions of living rooms but also was welcomed warmly. For years Black Americans gained recognition for their ability in baseball, basketball, football and tennis. But it was Oprah who changed the viewpoints of millions of Americans who identified with the compassionate woman. She not only became a household name, but a woman whom viewers held in high esteem regardless of their race. Her political agenda transcended party lines. She wanted to make a difference for black people, and to make this world a better place. She is respected for her ethical and moral approach to the issues of today. "Her style reached out and connected with what every woman was thinking because she asked the questions and said the things that they understood." (Mair 78) There weren't a lot of black people on Chicago television in 1985, but Oprah's show A.M. Chicago was a big hit."

From the Paper
"It is an exercise in redundancy to make the case that our society is a violent one. It is an arguable contention(one that surely will be validated on the pages of any history book) that humankind is simply a quarrelsome breed; one that has, since the inception of the social contract, existed amidst countless acts of violence and indiscretion. As a matter of course, we have always sought to determine the causes of such violence and social degradation, and to trace those elements in society that are assumed to perpetuate aggressive and uncivilized behavior in the masses. Theater, art, music, political rallying, propaganda- all of these and more have been branded as contributors to the deterioration of our collective moral fiber. Today, talk shows have emerged as the.."

"African American Women and Religion The religious experience of African Americans has been an important part of daily life since African slaves were first brought to the Americas, as religion was important to Africans in their homelands before being brought west. The role of the church has been well documented in the African American struggle for freedom in the United States, but the role of the church and religion in the individual lives of those African Americans, especially women, has been less discussed in the literature. This paper will examine some of the effects religion and church structure has affected African American women, in their concepts of self, relationship to family and community, their role in their religious organizations, as well as their overall success in the world at large."

"The Supremes were one of the first African American women groups to be seen on national television. Ophrah Winfrey tells how she felt when she first saw the Supremes, "When I saw the Supremes on TV that night, it was magical to me because I had never seen black women on television ... or anywhere for that matter who conveyed such glamour and such grace. And nobody was used to seeing us portrayed the way I saw the Supremes". The Supremes made an impact on Oprah Winfrey and may have made the difference by giving her courage, self-esteem and hope that she too could become successful."

From the paper:
"Light vs. Darkness, Muslim vs. Christian, North vs. South, Football vs. Oprah, conflicts such as these rage on in our 21st century society. Of all conflicts the one furthest from resolution and the most highly contested seems to be the age-old battle of male sexuality vs. female sexuality. What do the opposing ?dramatis personae? desire? How do they propose to attain it? Are the variances between the sexes really as vast as we?ve been led to believe? Through exquisite prose and imagery, the literary French artiste? Colette, in a duet of short stories Gigi and The Cat, is able to explain some of the sexual nuances that make the sexes behave as they do; perhaps bringing some insight into our own present day relationships ."
