Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that, according to Socrates in Plato's Republic, morality is one of the four elements of goodness in a community. The writer notes that inner morality was the rule of reason over other parts of the mind whereby a person lets reason and rationality rule. The writer points out that Socrates argues that when there is harmony between all elements of a community, morality will emerge. The writer explains that this is outer morality. The writer concludes that for morality to exist, it is important that every single part of the community and mind must be allowed to function properly within its own limits. The writer maintains that this would create harmony and peace and these two are the essential components of inner and outer morality.
From the Paper
"The third part is self-discipline. Socrates explained that it is not easy to allow oneself to be ruled. But when every section of a community accepts its rulers and understands that some people rule while others are the ruled, they are exhibiting self-discipline. This is needed for a community to function smoothly. When all these elements are found, we realize that the ability to a community to allow every person to do his job without creating conflict is morality. This is the outer morality that helps keep a community intact."

Abstract
This paper attempts to explain the nature of the solar system. Starting with the inner solar system, the paper explores the make-up of the sun, central to the system, followed by Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The paper then explores what is known as the outer system, beginning with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The paper then offers a three-point conclusion, beginning with the sun and then dividing into the outer and inner solar systems.
From the Paper
"Many theories have been formulated by scientists and scholars that help explain the nature and origin of the solar system, which gave birth to the planets in it, which includes the planet Earth. Among these formation theories, the most widely-accepted theory is the Nebular Theory of Solar System Formation. This theory states that the solar system was formed as a result of the collapse of an interstellar cloud, which eventually became the solar system and all the planets and elements within it. This space phenomenon happened 4.7 billion years ago, and as the interstellar cloud collapsed under the force of gravity, it rotates at a fast rate, eventually forming a ball of hot gas and dust, called the protosun."

?A Dialogue Between the Soul and Body?, 2006.
This paper examines the conflict between the 'outer' and 'inner' self as depicted in "A Dialogue Between the Soul and Body," written by English poet Andrew Marvell.

Abstract
The writer of this paper contends and explains why the 'soul' is the inner part of us, while at the same time the 'body' is our outer part, as portrayed in Marvell's poem. The soul suffers from the effects of being influenced by external factors and the social and moral decline which Marvell identifies as the 'disease' that plagues the body. The body's lamentation is actually a series of complaints against the soul's obvious reference to the individual's conscience and morality. This paper discusses the manner in which Marvell addresses the issue of duality in people. This paper examines the main focus of the poem, which is about the social and moral disease, wherein blindness, deafness and torture of the inner self were the consequences brought about by the individual's exposure to the social and moral decline of human society.
From the Paper
"This passage provided an enlightening insight between the Body and Soul's relationship. By identifying the Soul as 'tyrannical,' Marvell laid bare the fact that morality and conscience, which the Soul represents, bring difficulty and complexity to the lives of humans. The Body's lamentation argued the fact that humanity would be better off without these restrictive standards of morality, which only bring about prejudice, discrimination, and conflict among people, in the same way that Body and Soul experienced conflict within the individual. What Marvell had presented in the poem was a 'glimpse' into the nature of the Body and Soul as he interpreted it from his experience."

Abstract
This creative writing paper describes the Grays, alien beings from outer space that have landed on earth and are attempting to coexist peacefully with humans on earth. The paper describes the differences in appearance, reproduction, and physiological needs between the Grays and humans and discusses some of scientific concerns about allowing an alien species to live on earth. The paper then explains why the Grays are compatible with life on earth and with humans and why they represent no threat to mankind.
From the Paper
"The first Grays arrived in 2010, but they did not come en masse until a century later. The initial group of twenty brought with them a plethora of testing equipment from their home planet and took with them a total of two thousand samples from our environment. With the cooperation of the United Nations Council on Extraterrestrial Life (UNCEL), the Grays were permitted to take with them soil samples from hundreds of Earth locations and hundreds of botanical samples, many of which were of plants edible to humans but many of which were deemed palatable by the Grays. The Grays also took atmospheric air samples and water samples, both saline and non-saline, with them. Once the extensive surveys determined that their species could and would live on Earth comfortably, and once UNCEL approved it, about ten thousand of the Grays were permitted to come to the planet. The political problems of dealing with the Grays were immense, but the scientific ones were even greater and continue to plague the human scientific community. Of greatest concern to environmental scientists is of the future impact of the Grays on the Earth and on its inhabitants. Other factors of equal import, such as the cultural, political, economic, and political impacts of the Grays, are beyond the scope of this report."

From the Paper
"The first movement of this sonata in F major, allegro, outlines classical sonata form. The exposition contains two main themes: the first one is in the tonic, and the second in the dominant. There is some slight development, or variation, on the second theme, ambiguously for a few bars, and then it changes back to the dominant again. The exposition ends in a codetta.
The development section starts by elaboration on a lesser theme from the exposition, and then proceeds to lengthen a more interesting syncopated motive. The development section is in the dominant and returns quite quickly to the tonic and the first theme for the recapitulation. The transitional material in the exposition is now used as interesting material for contrast in ... "

From the Paper
""Measure for Measure" takes its title from the Gospel according to Matthew: ?with what measure yea mete, it shall be measured to you again" (Matthew 7:2), a passage from the Sermon on the Mount. This sermon emphasizes the difference between outer sanctity and inner corruption, between seeming and being. Like the play, the Sermon on the Mount stresses the world of the soul, the intentions, the mind: emphasizing not only on what a person does but also what he thinks, the inner life is even more significant than the outer life.
The law as figured in the Ten Commandments can speak to behavior, distinguishing between what is good and what is bad; but it cannot speak to attitude and intention. Moreover, in its specificity, the law is prone to become concrete legalism..."

Grand Unified Theories, 1993.
Argues that the successful concept will cover outer and inner limits of the universe.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 3 sources, $ 47.95
»

From the Paper
"This study will argue that a grand unified theory which is truly "grand" and "unified" will cover, theoretically, both the "outer" and "inner" limits of the universe. As we shall see, the most seriously considered grand unified theories do indeed cover both inner and outer limits.
Einstein worked on a Unified Field Theory for the last twenty-five or so years of his life. As Barnett writes, "Today the outer limits of man's knowledge are defined by Relativity, the inner limits by Quantum Theory. Relativity has shaped all our concepts of space, time, gravitation, and the realities that are too remote and too vast to be perceived. The Quantum Theory has shaped all our concepts of the atom, the basic units of matter and energy, and the realities that are too elusive and too small to be perceived" (1:107)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how, in "The Winter?s Tale", William Shakespeare presents female characters with both inner and exterior strength. It shows that along with the strength, are the qualities of understanding, forgiveness and patience. It explores the three characters in the play that represent these female characteristics - Hermione, Paulina and Perdita. For all three female characters, they are a part of the action and suffer because of the events in the play. Yet even in suffering they remain gracious and strong and forgiving. The paper discusses how it is these characteristics that make "The Winter?s Tale" a play about how strong and solid the female character can be, with the outcome of the play also showing what an impact these qualities can have.
From the Paper
"Hermione is the central female character of the play and also the one who suffers the most. At the same time, she is the character who has the greatest amount of strength. In the play, Hermione is accused of infidelity by her husband, something that must hurt her deeply. And yet even when her husband accuses her, she remains calm. When Leontes first calls Hermione an adulteress she denies it calmly and elegantly saying, ?should a villain say so, the most replenish?d villain in the world, he were as much more villain: you, my Lord, do but mistake? (II,i). For the audience, the calmness that Hermione possesses is emphasized by the contrast with her husband."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Tragedy is defined as a form of drama that depicts the suffering of a heroic individual who is often overcome by the very obstacles he is struggling to remove. The protagonist may be brought low by a character flaw or, a the philosopher Hegel stated, caught in a "collision of equally justified ethical aims.? (Encyclopedia.com) Miller himself commented that ?Willy Loman has broken a law without whose protection life is insupportable if not incomprehensible to him and to many other; it is the law which says that a failure in society and in business has no right to live.? (Drama for Students 71) At first Loman cannot accept his son Biff?s life because Biff works on a ranch for a living, ?like a boy.? (31) But Biff shows him that the ideals of success Willy holds are simply untenable for Biff, at least now that the son has attained the age of thirty-four."

Reality and Illusion in Proust and Gide, 2005.
A comparison of the treatment of reality and illusion in the novels, "Un Amour De Swann" (Swann's Love), by Marcel Proust, and Andre Gide's "Les Faux-Monnayeurs" (The Counterfeitors).

Abstract
This paper is a discussion of how, in both "Un Amour de Swann" and "Les Faux-Monnayeurs," fictional realities are exposed for their illusory nature, and the inner life of characters' fantasy and imagination is shown to be more real than the outer world they inhabit. In both cases, outer reality is shown to be a limited, disappointing, and inherently false area, and the artifice in a fictional reality is highlighted in order to direct our attention to the artifice in our own lived reality. It explains that, while Proust directs readers towards the 'time of our inner lives' as the space of true meaning and experience, Gide believes that action can be taken to expose the falsity inherent in the outer world and emancipate ourselves from the illusions we are enslaved to.
From the Paper
"Proust's Un Amour de Swann and Gide's Les Faux-Monnayeurs are both concerned with the borderline between reality and illusion, and between the inner world of the self and the outer world of physical reality. Both novels contain characters who live in a reality they can neither experience fully, interpret objectively, or escape from, and both novels present a fictional reality exposed for its falsity in order to lead the reader to question the 'sincerity' of his own self and the nature of his own reality."

Abstract
This essay details the struggle for recognition of inner beauty over outer beauty as seen in ?Jane Eyre?. The author discusses how Jane?s life is a stage for her education and the building of character and value that goes against the traditional notions of beauty. At each of her homes she gains confidence and strength, challenging societal views of beauty and is rewarded with her marriage to a man who respects her for who she is.
From the paper:
?The notion of beauty, what it is and whether it is an inner or outward quality, has been long debated. For centuries people, and particularly women, have struggled with the concept of their own inner beauty as something as important, if not more important than their outward, physical beauty. This is no less true in literature. The idea of female inner beauty has not always been valued. In Charlotte Bronte?s ?Jane Eyre?, the protagonist, Jane, rejects her own outer beauty in favour of nurturing her intellect, her humility and those other inner qualities that she herself views as beautiful. She respects her wisdom and philosophy before any of her physical attributes, partly because of her need as a child to read; partly from the lessons she is taught.?

Abstract
This paper explains that smart materials are devices, which can sense various stimuli from outer environment such as thermal, electrical and magnetic changes and can respond accordingly; basically, they are materials that sense and respond like living things. The author points out that two families of passive seismic control devices exploiting the peculiar properties of SMA kernel components have been implemented and tested within the MANSIDE project (Memory Alloys for New Seismic Isolation and Energy Dissipation Devices: Special braces for framed structures and isolation devices for buildings and bridges. The paper states that, with these smart materials, engineers are able to build the best and safest structures where possible catastrophic changes in the environment are sensed and precautions are taken directly. 10 figures.

From the Paper
"The first experimental demonstration of the piezoelectric properties in relation to crystal structure was published in 1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie. This effect was considered quite important and was referred to as "piezoelectricity" in order to distinguish it from other areas of scientific phenomenological experience such as "pyroelectricity" (electricity generated from crystals by heating). As an aside, piezoelectrics also tend to be pyroelectrics. The Curie brothers did not predict that crystals exhibiting the direct piezoelectric effect (electricity from applied stress) would also exhibit the converse piezoelectric effect (stress in response to applied electric field). This property was mathematically deduced and hypothesized by Lippmann in 1881. The Curies then confirmed the existence of the converse effect, and continued on to obtain quantitative proof of the complete reversibility of mechanical deformations in piezoelectric crystals."

Abstract
This paper briefly explains the basic principles behind plant growth and reproduction. It looks at the cell division process, describes the inner and outer cell layers and what is inside a cell and finally explains the process of cell division and photosynthesis.
From the Paper
"In order to understand exactly how plants grow and how they reproduce, one must first have a basic understanding of the principles behind these two biological functions. In essence, the so-called "building blocks" are known as cells which exist in a great variety of shapes and forms with each cell having a specialization for bring about certain functions and biological operations. All of these specialized cells develop from identical cells through a process called cell differentiation, "a highly regulated process in which specialized chemical reactions control the cell's length and width, the mass and architecture of its walls and the nature of its internal structure." 1 Due to the fact that the growth of a plant involves the development of roots, stems, leaves, flowers and related structures, a continuous supply of new materials is required which is made possible through a process known as cell division."

Abstract
Jealousy as an adverse emotion is a term which commonly refers to inner psychological and outer sociological conflict pertaining to an object that one covets or desires. This paper explains that jealously usually refers to a dynamic that occurs in relationships between people but it can also be understood in a broader sense as the jealousy or envy of the status or possessions of others. This paper looks at how an analysis of jealousy can be used to understand social norms such as relationships, status, class, advertising and envy.

Introduction
Jealousy and Relationships
Jealousy, Status and Class
Advertising, Envy and Jealousy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Jealousy and envy of others is often used in the advertising and marketing world to promote product sales. The image and stereotypes of ideal and desired objects and people are purposely manipulated to initiate a feeling of both envy and jealousy to motivate the viewer or audience to purchase the product. The well-known sociologist John Berger describes advertising in terms of envy. He states that advertising works by"... proposing to each of us that we transform ourselves, or our lives, by buying something more.... [Advertising] persuades us of such a transformation by showing us people who have apparently been transformed and are, as a result, enviable. The state of being envied is what constitutes glamour."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"For leaders the notion that reflection and analysis are the prerogative of the philosopher and theologian needs to be dispelled (Scott, 1994, p. 70). The hierarchical model of leadership is not conducive to fostering relationships and connections between people and issues. Rather, such a structure militates against the manifestations of the spirit of an organisation (Scott, 1994, p. 74, 75). If an organisation is imbued with "the experience, reflection and articulation of the assumptions and consequences of Religious faith as it is lived out in a concrete situation" (Osiek, 1976) then those who are led feel empowered and the vision is shared by all. Power for a leader then becomes "power with, not power over" and the leader is the enabling centre of a team (Scott, 1994, p. 78, 79)."
