Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that Warren Buffett is an acknowledged leader in business and investing. The writer explains that Buffet has worked at Berkshire Hathaway for nearly five decades and led it to great, even astounding, success. The writer notes that his ultimate philosophy that customers should conduct themselves like owners of the company, forms the backbone of his ideology and ultimately his success. The writer notes that Buffett's success has led others to emulate his business model, some of which is described in the book 'The Real Warren Buffett'. The writer concludes that other managers, no matter what industry they serve, would do well to follow Buffett's models and methods.
From the Paper
"Warren Buffett developed his role as a manager in the 1960s, after he had already spent 20 years as a successful stockbroker. Buffett believed to be a successful manager he should treat the business as his own, even if he was not the owner. He knew to do this; the ideas of management would have to change to reach this goal. He also knew he had to choose the right investments that would over the greatest gain and the least risk, just as if he were using his own money to invest. He decided to create a guarantee that assured his shareholders that their money would be returned to them if he could not give them a higher return than they could earn somewhere else. He also knew the people he managed would have to adhere to the same goals."

Abstract
The Buffett investment strategy is for individuals looking for relatively low-risk investments. But, low risk is not enough. Warren Buffett has been said to be a strong believer in the stock market and therefore does not put money in low risk and low return investment vehicles like savings bonds. The key is to avoid low return investment options. This paper examines six random stocks of which two are listed on the Singapore Exchange, two on the Hong Kong Stock Market and two from the NASDAQ. Once chosen, the stocks are evaluated against the author's perception of the Warren Buffett investment strategy. The summary of each stock includes company background information, their industry overview, a five year stock history when available, a calculated return on equity, the PE ratio, the retained earnings and projected or forecast company plans. Based on this information, the stocks are evaluated to see if they would in fact be sound purchases based on the Buffett philosophy. The paper includes graphs.

From the Paper
"One surprise regarding the Buffett philosophy for investing is that the investor need not require a portfolio with mass diversification in order to reduce risk. The approach focuses on only buying a relatively few stocks. One would think that such concentration of a portfolio that is without diversification should be considered risky. But Buffett seems to believe that thorough analysis of each company, patient purchasing at the lowest possible price and holding for the long-term will have weeded out the dogs. Warren Buffet is one of the richest men in America with probably only Bill Gates ahead of him in overall wealth. "So businessmen like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com, Michael Dell, the founder of Dell Computers, Bernard Marcus and Arthur Blank of Home Depot, and mutual fund manager Michael Price have been lionized in the press. Each became a billionaire, or near billionaire, in the 1990s." (Gross, 2000)"

From the Paper
"Buffett was born in 1930. As a child, Buffett already showed himself to be ambitious--he was an enthusiastic and industrious paper boy for the Washington Post, trying to cover more than one route at the same time, and he also made money by collecting and selling lost golf balls. His interest in finance was also apparent extremely early in his life when he started playing the stock market with one of his sisters when he was eleven. When he was twelve, he was betting on horses, and by high school he had started a business (pinball machines) with a friend, a business which earned him fifty dollars a week. By graduation, he not only owned his own business, but he also had purchased forty acres of Nebraskan farm land with his profits."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Warren Buffett is one of the wealthiest Americans today, but gained that wealth through investing, not through running a company which produces a product or service for sale to others. Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, is the most expensive stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and his company's performance mirrors his own personal success. Buffett counts other wealthy Americans, including Bill Gates of Microsoft, among his close friends, but has chosen not to publish books on his investment strategy. The annual reports of Berkshire Hathaway are replete with information about the company's activities, and others have analyzed his strategy and noted his published comments from interviews. His success has generated considerable interest in his methods. In 1997, his daughter-in-law, Mary Buffett, published Buffett.."

Berkshire Hathaway, 2005.
An analysis of the company Berkshire Hathaway and its director Warren Buffett.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Berkshire Hathaway is one of the most interesting cases of successful investments. Under the inspirational leadership of Warren Buffett, the company's evolution is a great object of study for both scholars and investors. This paper explores the key points in Berkshire's history, Buffett's influence, how the company's structure was built, what is its current financial status and whether an investor should consider buying its stock.
From the Paper
"In a 1999 article from Business Week, Warren Buffett, the force behind the Berkshire Hathaway Business, was described as follows: "If Buffett had a business card, it would identify him as chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. But he is far better known--indeed, world-famous--as the greatest stock market investor of modern times. The figures, though often cited, still astound: Had you put $10,000 into Berkshire when Buffett bought control of it in 1965, you'd have $51 million now, vs. just $497,431 if the money were invested in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index."

Abstract
This paper examines how Warren Buffett, known as the 'Oracle' or the 'Sage of Omaha,' is generally considered to be one of the world's most successful investors. It looks at how Berkshire Hathaway, the company he used as an investment vehicle, is now legendary for its achievements and explores some of his investment principles.
From the Paper
"The second role Berkshire Hathaway played was extremely important for Buffett's success. In 1967 he turned his attention towards the insurance business and purchased two Nebraska companies, National Indemnity and National Fire and Marine Insurance. The insurance business was risky, under permanent competition stress and in constant need of excellent management. Buffett was coming from a traditional sector of the economy, textiles, but the new challenge proved to be exactly what he had needed. The new opportunity gave him the chance to put his full potential to the test and to apply all the investment strategies that have made him famous."

The Warren and Burger Courts, 2005.
A look at the legal philosophies of Chief Justices Earl Warren and Warren Burger.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
It is claimed that the eras of Earl Warren and Warren Burger were marked by a philosophical stance of ?judicial activism,? meaning that both of these chief justices used their judicial powers to correct social, political, and legal ills through judicial action, as opposed to objective constitutional review. This essay asserts that the collected rulings of these two courts did, in fact, improve the overall state of the country in terms of the rights of our citizens to pursue lives as free from oppressive intolerance as possible. It examines six rulings (three from each court, in chronological order), some of which support this assertion, and a couple that do not (for the sake of balance). Both the rulings themselves and some of the effects of these rulings upon American society are described to reach a conclusion about the overall impact of these courts upon America.
From the Paper
In 1955, the (new) Warren Court decided unanimously to support the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education [349 U.S. 294]. The decision (at least technically) ended the racial segregation in the public schools that was legal under the Jim Crow laws of the South (and deemed constitutional for decades under Plessy v. Ferguson). The decision rested upon the assumption that ?separate but equal? systems are inherently unequal because they deny people of color the opportunity to obtain an education with white people (with whom, the argument continued, the future lawyers and doctors would have to work). The merits of the case were decided relatively quickly, in part because during the course of the deliberations, then-Chief Justice Vinson died, leaving Warren to take over as Chief Justice. He wanted the case decided as quickly as possible given the unrest that was increasing in many parts of the country."

"Mrs. Warren?s Profession", 2002.
An examination of the relationship between Mrs. Warren and her daughter Vivie in the play "Mrs. Warren?s Profession" by George Bernard Shaw.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews George Bernard Shaw's play "Mrs. Warren?s Profession" and discusses how Mrs. Warren?s secretive profession lies at the core of the relationship between Mrs. Warren and her daughter, Vivie. The income derived from her profession, running several bordello houses in continental Europe, takes Mrs. Warren physically away from her daughter but has allowed Mrs. Warren to provide Vivie with the lifestyle and education, which only people from the upper class can afford. It analyzes how Vivie's perception of her relationship with her mother may seem brutal, but truthful and how without experiencing the intimacy and love of a mother, the grown-up Vivie -- who is cynical of her relationship to her mother because the latter is a virtual stranger -- eventually sees that their only connection is monetary.
From the Paper
"In her proud and flaunting confession about her pseudo holiday in London to a total stranger (Shaw 38; Act I), Vivie demonstrates her audacity and complete lack of concern that she may be "caught" by her mother. On the other hand, Mrs. Warren is clueless to Vivie?s activities and interests. Vivie?s description of her holiday in London illustrates she is creating an existence of financial independence and passion for actuarial calculations, which is divorced from Mrs. Warren?s ideal conception of her daughter?s life. Although Mrs. Warren thinks her daughter is still dependent on her for her affluent lifestyle that includes sightseeing in London, Vivie "[has been] initiated into the business" of Chancery Lane and paid off her expenses. Ironically, Vivie?s "secret" project behind her mother?s back will become completely dwarfed by her mother?s greater life of secrecy."

Vivie in "Mrs. Warren's Profession", 2005.

Abstract
The status of women in Victorian society before World War I differed considerably from that of the decades following enfranchisement. In Victorian society, women were considered inferior to men but in later years, a new liberated woman evolved. This paper shows that in 1893, Bernard Shaw admitted in his play, "Mrs. Warren's Profession", that a new woman was already arriving, one who was determined to make a decent living without angling for a husband. The new woman could do so now because, at last, professional opportunities were becoming available to women. The paper shows how Shaw rethinks the Victorian notion of women by characterizing Vivie Warren in "Mrs. Warren's Profession" as a new, liberated woman who takes advantage of what society has to offer to her independence.
From the Paper
"Vivie's behavior as a new woman greatly unnerves those who expect traditional womanly behavior from her. She expresses herself in a very straightforward and unequivocal way instead of being more subtle and devious, as was expected of Victorian women. After offering Praed a bone-crunching handshake, Vivie tells him he is "just like what I expected," and that she hopes he is disposed to be friends with her. Praed's surprise and delight in Vivie's straightforward manner is apparent in his statement, "You modern young ladies are splendid: perfectly splendid!""

"Mrs. Warren's Profession", 2002.
Examaning George Bernard Shaw's 1893 play, "Mrs. Warren's Profession" and why it was then considered controversial.

Abstract
This paper analyzes Shaws play from an historical and moral perspective. The title of the play refers to Mrs Warren's profession of prostitution. It explains that in the late 1800's when the play was first produced, there was a lot of outcry and calls for its censorship. The plot of the play is explained and examined for what could have been considered offensive in nature. The paper shows how morals have developed and progressed and why the play is no longer considered "shocking".
From the Paper
"From the time when it was written in 1893, George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession was a problem for the playwright because of censorship. The profession alluded to in the title is prostitution, and Victorians did not like to admit publicly that such a thing existed, let alone allow a play to be performed in which the activity was in some sense celebrated. Modern reaction is very different from what Shaw's contemporaries would write when the play was finally performed in 1902. Early criticism focused more on the subject matter displayed than on the play as a piece of drama, while contemporary criticism turns this around and looks at the play as a play before considering any morality involved in talking about prostitution or treating it less than harshly."

Warren Buffet, 2007.
An analysis of the leadership style and management philosophies of Warren Buffet.
1,268 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the leadership approach of Warren Buffet. The paper looks at Buffet's background and the way that he first became involved in buying shares. It then discusses his leading by example and his philosophy of remaining very much a part of all of the companies that he acquires and how his philosophies have changed over time. The paper concludes by describing Buffet's characteristics that we can learn from, in order to be successful.
From the Paper
"Through his leading by example and his philosophy of remaining very much a part of all of the companies that he acquires, Warren Buffet has modeled the dedication that he expects others to reflect. Consistency has been a pillar in Buffet's actions. Though he is known world wide as an investment genius, Buffet does not comment on his current holdings. He does not want to cause artificial inflation of his stock, nor does he want to leave the public expecting pronouncements on his holdings. He has remained focused on compiling strong stock holdings for his investors, which has lead to the immense success of Berkshire Hathaway. The example that Buffet has set is not easily attained, but it sets a strong president to those that wish to succeed."

Warren Wiersbe's "Be Satisfied"--A Review, 2007.

Abstract
This paper reviews one of Warren Wiersbe's books that make up the theological Christian series known as the "Be" series. This paper takes a look at "Be Satisfied," Wiersbe's book that examines Ecclesiastes and the life and lessons of King Solomon. The review takes the form of a chapter by chapter summary, with the reviewer giving comments on the contents of each section. The author concludes that although he found Wiersbe's view of Ecclesiastes to be positive, he feels Wiersbe lost part of the text's message.
From the Paper
"Wiersbe opens his book with the Chapter "Is Life Worth Living", which is the central question that is posed by the Book of Ecclesiastes. The disconcerting nature of this particular Book is that the author, King Solomon, answers in the negative. He considers the different ends and goals that people live for to be completely driven by vanity and frustration. Wiersbe takes this in stride and instead of attempting to go around King Solomon's statements, he directly addresses them for what they are. Wiersbe argues that despite King Solomon, much like everyone else today, looks at life's hardships and sees the worst in what we must do. However, Wiersbe argues that despite these toils, there are so many heavenly fruits rewarded to us for living. The purpose of this chapter is to act as an overview of Ecclesiastes and also to address the central challenge of this book, which is to find the hidden meaning for why we should live within the Book of Ecclesiastes."
