Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that the Kaurna language is one of the main languages spoken by Indigenous peoples in and around the Adelaide region of Southern Australia. The writer notes that after the colonisation of South Australia in 1836, the population of the Kaurna people declined rapidly as they suffered from the effects of disease and displacement. Subsequently their language and culture experienced serious hardship. The writer looks at the importance of the Kaurna language to its people and by studying the techniques used to awaken the language from its dormancy. The writer points out that the revival of the Kaurna language is still an ongoing process, though much progress has already been made. Kaurna is now taught at all levels of education throughout Southern Australia. The writer concludes that whilst many steps have already been laid out to ensure the survival of Kaurna, it is up to future generations to take them and keep the language alive.
Outline:
Why Revive a 'Dormant' Language?
The Kaurna Language Revival
Resurrecting the Kaurna Phonology
Kaurna for a New Generation
From the Paper
"These texts were essentially a written record of the language of the Kaurna people for the English speaking colonists to read. Whilst there was little public interest in the text at its time of publication, even more so when the use of Kaurna was forbidden by government bodies in subsequent years, this publication has become a major tool in the revival of Kaurna for today's generation."
"The reclamation of the Kaurna language began around 1990 with the writing of six songs in a National Aboriginal Languages Program (NALP)
funded songwriters workshop. This was the first time the language had been used again in a creative manner and these songs were subsequently published into a songbook.
"Several workshops on the Kaurna language were held over the following years along with the introduction of Kaurna to some South Australian schools, helping the language to gain recognition once again."

Halting the Revival of Nuclear Energy, 2006.
A discussion of the merits of using nuclear power as an energy source.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines the benefit of reviving nuclear power plants. The writer discusses the many alternative options for generating electricity while reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The paper further discusses the potential threat of terrorist attacks and the current problem of nuclear waste storage and the lack of safety in nuclear power plants. The writer concludes that the focus should be put into pursuing other energy options that have fewer safety issues and fewer potential consequences.
From the Paper
"In contrast, storage of nuclear waste and the safety of nuclear power plants is a current problem that already exists for the power plants in operation. Grossman (p. 206) notes that current nuclear power plants were not designed for more than 40 years of use and are considered hazardous. Grossman (p. 207) also notes that the government is currently planning to store nuclear waste in the Yucca Mountains, an area that is near 32 earthquake fault lines and has a high likelihood of both earthquakes and volcanoes."

The Microsoft Decision: An Anti-trust Revival, 2002.
Discusses the American courts' decision that computer giant company, Microsoft, be split into two companies.

Abstract
Microsoft has left an indelible mark on the business community as an innovator of technology, as a fierce competitor and as a stock market juggernaut. In the wake of the June 7th ruling handed down by Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson (ordering that Microsoft be split into two companies) the paper argues that we may add to Microsoft?s resume monopolistic predator, propagator of unfair business tactics and unrepentant defier of the courts. The paper shows that Microsoft is poised to take its place in history among the litany of other companies similarly forced to split upon scrutiny by the American courts. It shows that the Microsoft decision marks the biggest antitrust ruling since the breakup of AT&T in 1983. The paper shows that the ruling is a bold stroke by the Federal government to combat market monopolization and restraint of trade in the new technological age.
From the Paper
"Obviously, the outcome of the Microsoft trial indicates a return to a more severe regulatory philosophy on the part of the Federal government. Carroll and Buchholtz remark that throughout the 80s, ?the federal government played less and less of a role, especially in terms of monitoring and regulating business?(2000, p. 208). The Microsoft decision marks a definitive reversal of this trend. The Internet has, since its inception, been largely unregulated by the Federal government. And as Microsoft has shown, the repercussions of exploiting the laissez-faire tech-world can be manifold."

Abstract
This essay explores the history of two different periods of Jazz: the Dixieland revival of the late 1930s and the Blues revival of the 1960s. It looks at the influential people, places and events for the two time periods. The essay also discusses the racial implications of these different periods as historically black music was "revived" by white audiences. It also explores the appropriate place of black music in white culture.
From the Paper
"Music brings us into a place where we can experience a society or time period as if we were actually there, in a way that no history book could ever describe with words. Music is a reflection of society. Jazz music has taken on many faces throughout American history, from early slave work songs deeply rooted in African tradition all the way to our modern-jazz sound we hear on the radio today. Jazz has morphed into all kinds of different sounds admired by diverse audiences. At times, certain brands of jazz already past their height of popularity experience a "revival" as a new audience sees something beautiful and different in them that they had never identified before. These revivals bring about a renewed look (or "listen") at the music, giving wider exposure to new audiences and conserving its history for future listeners. Both Dixieland and the Blues are two forms of jazz that experienced similar revivals: Dixieland's in the late '30's and the Blues' in the '60's. Previously overlooked by white Americans and Europeans during their original peak of popularity, these revivals exposed jazz to new audiences and gave more necessary credit to the established "greats." In the following pages we will explore how both the Dixieland and Blues revivals celebrated and preserved jazz music while also examining the implications of race as whites "revive" established black music."

From the Paper
"The part that New Orleans Port plays in the U.S. supply chain is a critical one, so critical that the disaster that took place due to Hurricane Katrina is stated to be "likely to drag down U.S. economic growth in the months ahead." (Helman, 2005) Economists believe that the effects "may be more lasting than those that usually follow big storms due to the "severity of the damage" (Helman, 2005) as well as the "unique geography of the New Orleans region." (Helman, 2005)"

From the Paper
" Alice M. Rivlin, in her book Reviving the American Dream: The Economy, the States, and the Federal Government, presents the theme that the economic and political systems of the United States do not serve well the needs of the people, and that what is needed is a thorough redesigning of the federal system, the relationship between the national and state governments, and the economic policy of the country.
The purpose of this redesigning and restructuring is in part to make simpler and clearer what political and economic responsibilities belong to the states and to the federal government. Clearly, the basis of Rivlin's argument is that the political and economic destinies of the nation (at both federal and state levels) are inextricably bound together.
This theme is also based on the promise of the American.."

The Changing Sounds of Jazz, 2007.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the sounds of jazz with its unique rhythms, instrumentals and vocals remain a mystery to many even today. However, the writer points out, it is more through a lack of understanding of the sounds of jazz, perhaps even the history of the music that it is cast into the category of musical mystery for those less gifted, but who nonetheless appreciate good music. The writer discusses two special moments in the history of jazz:the Dixieland revival period, or the "Swing Era," during the early 1930s and going into the 1940s; and the blues revival of the 1960s. The writer notes that a look at these two periods of musical history is interesting, and a music lover's delight, and informative when considering the influence both periods had on what is jazz today.
Outline:
The Dixieland Revival of the 1930s
Blues Revival of the 1960s
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Some historians have traced the roots of blues to a period in American history beginning with the arrival of the first slaves, in 1619. Ambiguous or contentious as that may be, it nonetheless serves as a marker for what is surely one of the most significant forms of music in America; the blues. Perhaps what can be said, without contention and without setting historians and musicians alike into a tailspin, is that the blues, like Dixieland, have experienced peaks and low in musical history, and has contributed and influenced the heart of jazz. One of the significant periods in history where the blues experienced both a revival in sound and style, and from which, like the Dixieland of the 1930s, emerged new figures of greatness; and a time that greatly influenced and helped spotlight once again jazz, is the 1960s."

"Who?s Afraid of Virginia Woolf": Reactions in 1962 and 1980, 2006.
A comparison between the 1962 original product of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and the 1980 revival.

Abstract
This paper compares the criticism and reactions to the 1962 original production of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and the 1980 revival of Edward Albee's landmark work. The author states that play has thrived over the passage of time, having become an undeniable classic in the playwright's lifetime. Calling it a stark, gritty portrayal of marital disillusion and power-plays, combined with the awkwardness of public betrayals of vulnerability and deeply guarded secrets, the paper says the original production revolutionized American theatre and has even been seen as the high point of Broadway in the last 40 years. However, according to this author, the 1980 revival, although critically acclaimed in its own right, did not enjoy the prestige or controversy of the original.
From the Paper
"Albee's production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf opened at the Billy Rose theatre in October 1962 and starred Arthur Hill, Uta Hagen, George Grizzard, and Melinda Dillon; it consequently ran for 664 performances. The play essentially depicts the interactions of two married couples in an academic setting; the older married couple, George and Martha, represent a bickering, disillusioned older couple. George is a professor who is overpowered by his alcoholic, bitter wife who had hoped that he would have achieved a more stellar position in the academic community. The long-married couple is united by an unseen child who is later exposed to be nothing more than imaginary. The couple is paralleled with a younger couple, Nick and Honey, who are starting out in life and appear to be following a path similar to that of George and Martha. Nick is beginning his own career as an academician, and Honey, bubbly and empty-headed, has falsely entrapped Nick into marriage with a false pregnancy. The psychological, social, and emotional dynamics are portrayed during the proceedings of an awkward dinner party."

Social Capital Theory, 2007.
A critique of Robert Putnam's social capital theory, discussed in his book "Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of the American Community."
2,059 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 64.95

Abstract
This paper discusses Robert Putnam's book "Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of the American Community," in which he tracked the changes in the social fabric of the United States during the second half of the twentieth century. The paper discusses Putnam's hypotheses regarding the collapse of community life in the U.S. and its dire ramifications for society.
From the Paper
"What does all of this tell us about the validity of the Social Capital theory? The numbers alone are astounding proof of the idea that Bridging social bonds are decaying. Also, the rampant consumption of television rather than human company for comfort shows us a good deal about the collective stress imposed by this lack of cohesion. Americans, no longer having a common goal, no longer have anything in common with one another, and are too harried to try to forge new commonality. The fight for resources and moral superiority between regions in this country has degenerated to the point that there is extreme polarization between left and right political factions. Strong tides of Nationalism threaten to exclude rather than include large numbers of Americans who do not fit a specific mold--one of the major reasons for the initial breaking away from community life among Boomers. This is endemic of an imbalance between a severe lack of Bridging Social Capital and growing amounts of very fragmented Bonding Social Capital."

The Package Tour, 2005.
A look at the history and revival of the 'package tour' and the tourist industry in general.

»

Abstract
This paper examines the history of the tourism industry, focusing on the revamping and revival of the so called 'package tour'. According to this paper, the package tour concept is that of an all-inclusive vacation in one.
From the Paper
"The tourism industry in the early 21st century operates within a complex globalized marketplace in which it is subject to rapidly changing social, cultural and economic factors. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the package tour model which exerted significant dominance over the industry until the fragmentation of the market and the privileging of consumer choice and independence at each level of the tourism experience. However, given the influence of major corporate players it is perhaps not surprising that the recent innovation of dynamic packaging has led to a revival of the "package tour" concept in a carefully revised form."
