Abstract

The writer discusses Wordsworth's democratic sensibility. Further, the writer examine's the poet's use of laws of nature and human nature as subjects of his poetry.
From the Paper
"In William Wordsworth's "Preface to Lyrical Ballads" we see a definite democratic flavor to Wordsworth's ideas of what constitutes good poetry. Democracy is based on the notion that in the state of nature human beings have certain inalienable rights. When states are constructed the goal of the state is to secure these rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness by the people who put them in power to do so. The contention that in nature all human beings have certain inalienable rights ... "

Abstract
This paper examines Wadsworth's view that the creation of poetry is an outward expression of an inner emotion or experience. The paper cites text from "Preface to Lyrical Ballads" to illustrate this view and how Wadsworth is able to prove his point.
From the Paper
"Wordsworth begins his ?preface to Lyrical Ballads? by focusing on issues of style. He claims, ?Humble and rustic life was generally chosen, because, in that condition, the essential passions of the heart find a better soil in which they can attain their maturity, are less under restraint, and speak a plainer and more emphatic language? (18). He believes that feelings ?coexist in a state of greater simplicity? (18) and, as a result, are ?more accurately contemplated, and more forcibly communicated? (18). From this perspective, Wordsworth is aiming the success of poetry as an art form at the human experience. His premise depends on the notion that poetry is meant to be a communication tool first and foremost. As a result, it is the responsibility of the poet to express him or herself in a manner appropriate. Wordsworth is correct in assuming that unless readers can gain pleasure from reading something they do not understand, the poet should descend from his or her ?supposed height? and ?express himself as other men express themselves? (23). This statement lies at the very heart of Wordsworth?s notion."

Abstract
This paper is about the success of the type of government operating in the United States and to what degree it is really looking after the needs of its people and its land.
From the Paper
"Democracy, in today?s world means the rule of the people. Democracy is defined as the form of government that is elected by the people through fair elections and runs the country according to their wishes. Such a country is called a democratic republic. This is where a republic has a government where the officials are elected by a small group of people, to make the important decisions. Democracy has existed for almost 2500 years; Athens, Greece was the first to practice democracy. The Romans also chanced with the idea of democracy, but it did not work out too well since it was a republic, and not a democracy. In about 1200, England became a republic only to be followed by the United States of America that became a democracy in the 1700?s."

Luther and Kant: Visions of Freedom, 2002.
A study into the works of Luther King (?Preface to the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans?) and Immanuel Kant (?An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment??) and the issue of freedom.
1,310 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 44.95

Abstract
The paper shows that Martin Luther, in his ?Preface to the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans? claims that people are free when their actions naturally mimic laws and morality to such an extent that those laws are rendered unnecessary. The paper then shows the opposite view of Immanuel Kant, in his ?An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?? : Freedom for Kant is the ability to wield one?s reasoning without restraint in public. The paper explores how a close reading of these two texts reveals that Kant?s and Luther?s views on freedom are actually more similar than different, in fact they are mutually exclusive and Kant?s views can even be read as a rephrasing of Luther?s views.
From the Paper
"Let us analyze these two passages. Luther advances no opportunity for anyone ? even learned men ? to question the law. Indeed, Luther?s version of freedom is counterintuitive to our thinking ? or at least to Kant?s thinking ? in that freedom is precisely that which restrains. The moment we contradict the law either in speech or action, we are not acting with freedom. Freedom for Luther is naturally conforming to laws that do not even need to exist. Perhaps the analogy of a child riding his bike with training wheels but without ever touching the training wheels to the ground ? without ever needing the training wheels. Similarly, Luther?s version of free people do not need any laws. Rather, they naturally conform to what the laws are, should have been, or would be."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to compare and contrast from a Marxist standpoint the concepts of the poet articulated in Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads and Eliot's "Tradition and the Individual Talent." The plan of the research will be to set forth in general terms the presentation of central argument in each essay and then to discuss in detail their views of the poet's relationship to poetic materials and the completed poem, how their concepts of the poet are related to their political commitments and their position in history, and how the dramatic difference in aesthetic perspective can be accounted for.
Two strands of thought inform Wordsworth's view of poet's relationship to the materials of poetry. First, there is the matter of departure from previous wisdom regarding the comportment and presentation of poetry as deriving from something ..."

From the Paper
"In 1980, a report to the Caribbean Common Market Council of Ministers by a "Group of Caribbean Experts," concluded that while CARICOM had achieved some meaningful levels of integration, the level of integration attained was insufficient to serve as a basis for effective participation in the global economy. The most serious breaches involved failures to observe trading rules; however, many other challenges were not addressed by the organization. By 1992, however, the West Indian Commission concluded that the number of functioning regional organizations in the CARICOM family numbered an "impressive" 200. The Commission concluded also, however, that the test will be "whether or not this Community of Member States has matured to a degree where it can accept temporary member difficulty, and even pain, without drawing back, in order to move towards a Community of closer union for the larger and longer-term benefit.""

From the Paper
"Citizens may refute any cross interrogations as regards the answer when it comes to incriminating them. Like when an officer just emerges and cross questions you have the privilege, you are apprehended, to refute any questions if the answers have an inclination to punish you. Furthermore, anything you blurt out can be applied as evidence against you. Sometimes people are of the belief that what they are blurting out cannot punish them, when as a matter of fact, what they blurt out gives association in a continuity of information that would punish them. You have no privilege to make debate about why you are apprehended or about your involvement or innocence at the time of apprehension. Debating or resisting the police will not give you a hand in anyway. It will give meaning that the police can bring forth extra criminal accusations against you, and it may turn it difficult for you to set free or get on bail if you are incriminated."

"The Ruined Cottage", 2004.
An analysis of the poem "The Ruined Cottage" by William Wordsworth.
725 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 0 sources, $ 25.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses William Wordsworth's poem,"The Ruined Cottage". The paper asserts that the poem can be analyzed as a personal poem, both romantic and typical of Wordsworth and closely adhering to the guidelines he lays down in the preface. It also contends that this poem was an extremely personal poem for Wordsworth because Margaret's absence from her husband, Robert, closely resembles Wordsworth's forced absence from his lover, Annette Valon.
From the Paper
"Wordsworth makes six major points in the preface to Lyrical Ballads (1802): poets should write about "incidents and situations from common life" using a "language really used by men"; poetic language has become removed from the language of real human experience; "all good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings"; a purpose of poetry is to follow the processes of the mind when fired by intense and immediate emotions; the primary purpose of poetry is not to instruct (though this may be a secondary function), but to give "immediate pleasure"; the poet is distinguished from other men by his greater ability to recall the attendant pleasures and feelings "recollected in tranquility." In "The Ruined Cottage," Wordsworth follows all of the guidelines he sets forth in the preface to Lyrical Ballads. "The Ruined Cottage" uses common, realistic diction to speak of a poor cottage-dweller."

"DNA is organized as two complementary strands that are linked together with bonds that can be separated. Each strand of DNA is a chemically linked chain of nucleotides, which are made up of a sugar, a phosphate and one of four kinds of nucleobases, often simply referred to as bases. These bases are: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, abbreviated as A, T, C, and G. Furthermore, these bases only pair up properly with one other base, A with T, C with G, and vice versa, on their complementary strand ("DNA")."

"In our ever increasingly competitive, technologically advanced and profit motivated global economy, all factions of the business community are searching for opportunities to strategically reduce inherent business and operational costs while systematically increasing their profitability and revenues. In the past, businesses reduced costs through devices such as downsizing and corporate re-structuring. Today, however, labor has become an asset that can no longer be cut without creating adverse affects on productivity, quality and efficiency. Because of this, the objective for many organizations today has become to be as efficient as possible through the use of new Information Systems."

From the Paper
"The type of wood that you use for making the spindles is also very important because grain structure also plays an important role in how strong the chair is. When building chairs there are three things that matter most importantly, strength is key because of all furniture the chair takes the most beating. People like to lean back and rock on the chair and you need to have confidence that the joints that you made will be strong enough to hold the abuse, and because I am making spindle chairs another thing to consider is the durability of each spindle and if put together will it make a sturdy chair."

Wordsworth and Romanticism, 2006.
Explains why poems by William Wordsworth are representative of Romanticism.
2,622 words (approx. 10.5 pages), 0 sources, $ 79.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Romanticism is a term given to literary and artistic movements of the late 18th and 19th centuries. By analyzing several poems by William Wordsworth, this paper shows why his work exemplifies all the qualities of the psyche essential to Romantics. The paper examines, "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud", "Preface to Lyrical Ballads," and "Lines."
From the Paper
"Women, children and simple, country folk were often the subject of attention in his works. By traveling away from the cities to write, as he did while in Scotland, with "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud", Wordsworth became instrumental in the Romantic revolution. Works such as this marked the change in literary subject matter from urban-centered, to nature or rural-oriented settings. However, it would be reckless for the reader to give a cursory assessment of the poem that speaks of daffodils, lakes and trees, and surmise the author to be a nature lover. Wordsworth was much more than simply a lover of birds and flowers. His primary interest in nature was in human nature, the nature of man."

"Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals", 2007.
An analysis of Immanuel Kant's "Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals".
1,316 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how, beginning with his preface to the "Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals", Kant is unambiguously clear in his assertion that moral dictates hold universally, since if a law is to be morally valid, then it must carry with it absolute necessity. It also discusses how for Kant, morality is fundamentally based on his three formulations of the categorical imperative and how in general, Kantian morality does little to resolve many of the everyday moral debates present in contemporary society.
From the Paper
"Despite the appeal of the categorical imperative, follows its dictates proves to be seemingly impossible, and even in some instances, undesirable. When adhering to the principles of Kantian morality, it is clear that moral reasoning is reduced to a strict moral calculus, whereby there is only one correct answer to the question, "What am I to do?" This process, moreover, does not allow for any deviations from this strict normative standard, and morally ambiguous areas become non-existent. However, in some situations, certain actions that are in violation of the categorical imperative might be morally necessary. For example, during the Holocaust, people often had to lie to the Nazi SS when harboring Jews in their home. It seems obvious that lying violates at least formulations one and two of the categorical imperative. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the doctrine of constructive resignation in the context of employment law or employment relationship. In particular, it attempts to address whether this doctrine should be introduced or sustained in employment law in Malawi. The paper proceeds on the premise that in Malawian employment law - statutory or case law- the doctrine of constructive resignation is not provided for. It is, however, recognized and applied in other jurisdictions namely, Unites States, Canada, United Kingdom and Philippines. This paper concludes with the recommendation that the doctrine be introduced in Malawi, although with necessary modifications to suit the employment situation and the right to fair labour practices.

From the Paper
"Of late, it has been in issue whether one can or has constructively resigned10. This is in issue in Malawi and other jurisdictions. The doctrine of constructive resignation is to the effect that if the conduct of the employee amounts to a repudiation or a fundamental breach of the contract of employment the said conduct automatically terminates the contract, in which case it is the employee rather than the employer who will be deemed to have terminated it. The employer is entitled to dismiss him even without hearing him. He may as well say: "he sacked himself"11. In Malawi there is no statutory doctrine of constructive resignation, and apparently there is currently no case which has said the doctrine is applicable in our employment law."
