Abstract
The paper discusses how American literature is filled with examples of the American impulse toward self-analysis, especially within autobiographical writings. The paper explores the idea of analyzing one's life, as contained within various works of 17th and 18th century American literature. The paper draws examples from two authors from the Puritan/Colonial Period; Mary Rowlandson and Jonathan Edwards, two authors from the Enlightenment period; Benjamin Franklin and Olaudah Equiano and one author from the Romantic Period; Louisa May Alcott.
From the Paper
"In her autobiographical account of being captured, along with her young children, and mistreated by Indians "The Narrative of the Captivity and the Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" (1682), the author states, self-reflectively, at the beginning of her narrative: "Oh, I may see the wonderful power of God, that my Spirit did not utterly sink under my affliction: still the Lord upheld me with His gracious and merciful spirit, and we were both alive to see the light of the next morning. Rowlandson's quest for self-analysis and self-revelation in this account centers on her relationship with God, before, during, and after her ordeal, and explores how the painful events she describes have in fact helped her to better understand her relationship to God."

Abstract
This paper argues that, while rejecting the embodying of religious meaning in art and artwork in the institutionalized sense of churches or other organized religions, Adorno identified and insisted upon a revelatory role for art itself in terms of its engagement with the human condition and human values. The paper states that Adorno was, in many ways, a writer and thinker profoundly influenced by religion.
From the Paper
"For the social and cultural critic and theorist Theodor Adorno (1903-69), art is integrated into the society that produces it, and cannot be considered separately from the economic, political and ideological circumstances of its creation. This position reflects the continuing influence of Marxist theoretical approaches to art which can be found underlying even Adorno?s most radical writings. However, Adorno tended to distance himself from a crude materialist or historical-contextual reading of art, focusing on a close reading of the work itself and claiming such thorough analysis from the inside would enable a reading of the work?s social meanings without cumbersome references to external contexts. Those social meanings, however, remained central to any accurate and meaningful understanding of the work, whether literary, musical, or visual in nature."

Abstract
This paper contends that in terms of speed, availability, operational ease or time saving, e-banking has become one of the most revelatory experiences in the way information technology was applied. It investigates the separate benefits and advantages that e-banking provides, both for the customers and for the banks where the services are available.
From the Paper
"Any enumeration of the advantages and benefits of e-banking should perhaps first start with a definition of the concept, which will highlight some of the essential profiles of e-banking. As such, e-banking refers to "a service (...) that allows you to conduct banking transactions over the Internet, using a personal computer, mobile telephone pr handheld computer, such as a personal digital assistant". These transactions generally range from simple bill payments, to B2B transactions and to money transfers between accounts."
