Abstract
In this article the writer discusses a unionized company that involves a range of blue, pink and white collar workers. The writer argues that instead of the usual .25 to 1% of payroll given for training, it is necessary to make a .75% increase. Members of the board of directors will understand this hope of the human mesources department when made aware of a few facts shaping the request. The writer notes that all the facts pertain to trends in Canadian industry and in the overall economy that have been in place for about one decade. The writer maintains that spending more on training means a win-win situation that can benefit the company for years to come. If it is possible to retain the workers needed for the future one can avoid the expense of looking for new help, later. The writer concludes that there will be new enthusiasm and curiosity as to what workers can improve or what they learn that they can do. All of these factors make it most desirable to devote some payroll funding now to in-house training.

From the Paper
"Only a fraction of employers give support for training. As we all know, many employers then complain when they cannot find the skilled labour they need when forced to search for new staff. Often, they must compete with various companies for the same skill sets. Also, they must do this during a crisis of business or need for high productivity. They end up spending far too much on the changed labour bill because they have not planned ahead. It is wiser to look at this kind of situation as a failure of forward planning, rather than as a blow received by a business. As board members will agree, private sector organizations often succeed by avoiding what might go wrong. Spending on training in the present makes sense, if one looks ahead and imagines a business failure, not due to a lack of orders, but due to inability to fill orders quickly. As business tends to 'move' very quickly in the economy of the day, a client is more apt to just go on to the next supplier that can produce what is needed by a given time."

Abstract
This paper reviews Sandra Cisneros' novel, "The House on Mango Street", by focusing on the symbol of a house as presented in the book. According to the reviewer, a house is used as a symbol of comfort, freedom and self-expression instead of as a physical space. Quotes from the book are used to illustrate this thesis. The reviewer further examines the protagonist Esperanza and her views of a house. The author concludes that a house is a symbol of escape for Esperanza.
From the Paper
"Not only is the house important, but the conditions that caused them to move around so often are also worth pondering. It is because the family couldn't afford a house of their own that they had to move in and out of various houses. That intensified the desire of the family to have a house of their house especially Esperanza whose desire is most pronounced. Esperanza, the protagonist of the novel, is a young child whose sense of self respect is often dented by the humiliating comments made by others. She grows up believing that her sense of self worth is closely connected with having a house of her own- a white house "with trees around it, a great big yard and grass growing without a fence" (p. 8)"

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Much of the opposition centers how these laws will limit opportunities for United States citizens and legal residents. For many low-income American families, state universities present the only option for higher education. Because many state universities are already limiting enrollment, groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) contend that ?when public universities admit an illegal immigrant and provide subsidized tuition, some other student who is also deserving is denied an opportunity? (FAIR Issue Brief). These alien students, in effect, will gain an education at the expense of legal American residents or citizens."

Effect of Changes on the Nottingborough Store
Conclusion
From the Paper
"A conscious effort to change the work culture was made when it was made clear that 'the change would be an ongoing process'. The aim was to make the group more dynamic and ready to face changing business environment. This was a significant cultural change for employees who were used to be confined to their own work and not bother about the other group stores or intense competition in the business. Awareness about the need to be profitable and to build on strengths was conveyed to the managers. 'Policies to change staff attitudes and behavior' and initiative entitled 'Focus on the Future' (House of Fraser, p.3) highlights the emphasis to change the culture."
"The issue of motivation was addressed in two ways. Using 'motives' - that act as motivation for people who contribute better towards organizational goals. E.g. new grades and pay structures, incentives for increased turnover etc. and by using 'drives' - that act as motivation for people who are unwillingly to accept the reorganization and e.g. fear of getting lower grade which could impact salary, fear of being redundant and hence losing the job etc."

Abstract
The paper asserts that gothic refers to the encounter with the mysterious and the unknown. The paper explains that the unknown in gothic fiction refers to something that is beyond the normal and rational. The paper illustrates how "The Fall of the House of Usher" presents the conventional themes and motifs of the gothic romance genre. There is the haunted house, the depressing location, the horrors, madness and disease and development of a monstrous bizarre union in destruction and decay. However, the paper concludes that at the heart of the gothic genre, lay the movement towards an expression of the unknown and the mysterious, which lies beyond our comprehension.

Introduction and Thesis Statement
The House of Usher and the Unknown
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The works of Edgar Allan Poe were not the first literature to be described as gothic. Poe has as his antecedents many other works that contain the gothic style and content. His work is often described as "A descent from such British milestones in literary Gothicism as Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764), William Beckford's Vathek (1786), W. H. Ireland's The Abbess (1798), or Sir Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor (1819) is evident in Poe's writings." (Fisher 72)"
"The gothic in art and literature is defined and described in numerous ways and with a great degree of controversy and disagreement. There are many critics who suggest that there can be no one definitive view of this genre."

Abstract
This paper gives a detailed description and historic background of Venetian artist Jacopo Tintoretto's master-work "The Raising of Lazarus." The author highlights Tintoretto's life and career, pointing out his stylistic development. The paper then describes "The Raising of Lazarus" as the pinnacle of Tintoretto's career, commenting on the style, composition and iconography of the piece. The author concludes that "The Raising of Lazarus" has artistic value centuries later and is well worth a thorough evaluation by modern audiences.
From the Paper
"Tintoretto, who was born in 1519 and lived until 1594, was one of the most prolific painters of his time and place. His real name was Jacopo Robusti. He received his name as a painter, Tintoretto, from his father's profession of being a dyer (wga). Tintoretto's vivid use of color in his paintings may come from his father's occupation as well. Tintoretto lived and worked in Venice nearly his whole life where he was said to aggressively pursue artistic commissions. This did not make him popular with his fellow painters as he frequently undercut their prices. Although he may have made enemies among his peers, his business methods did make him a busy and successful artist. Since he frequently received commissions in his native city, many of his paintings can still be seen in the various churches and buildings for which they were originally painted (wga). "

Abstract
This paper suggests that the house in the novel symbolizes the place of women in society and symbolizes Esperenza?s struggles. The writer considers this in detail by describing how the house represents the place of women and how the house represents Esperenza?s identity struggle and the final realization about the reality of life for Esperenza and for all women.
From the Paper
"The novel is mainly a story about Esperenza?s struggles but also extends to illustrate the struggles of all women. This is illustrated by the various other female characters who all have their own range of problems to deal with. The major struggles of these characters are all related to houses, where houses represent the place of women in society. This is especially related to the old-fashioned views where women are expected to be only housewives and mothers. This is especially important in this novel because of the ethnicity of this characters, where the ethnicity means that the expectations of women as being homemakers is stronger than usual. This is seen by Esperenza?s great-grandmother, who had similar qualities to Esperenza, but these were tamed when she was married."

Abstract
The paper traces how Joyce tells the plight of the young boy in ?Araby?, raising the question: ?How much can man influence his environment, and how much is the reverse?? In discussing the problems faced by the main characters in ?The Boarding House?, the reader is asked ?Are people really in control of anything, or are we just slaves to our surroundings?? and ?Can man make any substantial changes in his world, or is that merely an exercise in futility??
From the Paper
"The young boy in ?Araby? was faced with a challenge by some changes that were happening in his environment. The bazaar had come to his neighborhood, and he wanted to go to get something for his ?girlfriend?, who couldn?t be there herself. The challenge, which was actually a two-fold decision that he had to make, was Joyce?s way of illustrating an obvious point: ?Every person is faced with an important choice at some time in one?s life.?

Feminism in "A Doll's House", 2003.
This paper explores the significance of the connections between Henrik Ibsen's play, "A Doll's House" and the rise of feminism.

Abstract
This paper explains how the behavior of Nora, the main character in "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen, is connected to the title in the sense that she is like a doll living in a doll's house. This lifestyle was common during the Victorian Era, the time period in which the play was written, and gave fuel to the fire of rising feminism. The paper shows that the play's most significant feature is the real-life change that it sparked in the lifestyles of women in the late nineteenth century.
From the Paper
"A Doll?s House, written by Henrik Ibsen, is a play that shocked audiences upon its release. The author wrote it to say something about commonplace marriages that took place during the late nineteenth century. The title, A Doll?s House refers to the disempowered position of the wife in referring to her as a doll. This play helped to begin the feminist movement, where women began to stand up for themselves and question the legitimacy of the societal conditioning. What makes this play connected to feminism lies in its title, the fact that it was written during the Victorian Era, and the way it began the destruction of the gender roles that are still apparent today."

This paper examines the design and layout of the Tugendhat House, built by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Grete and Fritz Tugendhat in the 1920's. It looks at how some of the structure's themes may be found in works done by Le Corbusier, Schinkel and Mies himself and how, throughout the building, it is evident that great stress and preparation went into project, whether it be the location, the facade, the plan, or the material. It explores how the Tugendhat House a revolutionary concept that rejects traditional arrangements of the interior and promotes simplicity throughout.
From the Paper
"The centre stage of the main floor is occupied by an enormous open space that contains the living and dining room. Though a semi-circular wood veneer wall pronounced the dining area, the general space is open and not or-ganized or categorized by the use of dividing walls, but more by the placement of the furniture, which Mies himself designed specifically for the residence. In accordance with so many of Mies' works, such as the Barcelona Pavilion and the Toronto Dominion Centre, a single spot from which an ob-server may embrace the structures and dimensions does not exist. For that reason, the house begs you to wander through it, to discover it and its se-crets."
