"INTRODUCTION
The documentary "Rosie the Riveter" by Connie Field and the book Rosie the Riveter Revisited by Sherna Berger Gluck refer to a period in American history that can be considered the beginning of a major shift in the role of women. During World War II, when millions of men were conscripted or voluntarily joined the armed forces, defense plants in the United States had to continue producing needed armaments and other goods for the war effort. At the time, relatively few women worked outside the home, and even fewer would have worked in factories like those producing airplanes and other military goods. This changed as a female work force was enlisted to see to it that production did not decrease in this time of emergency. The women who took these jobs found a new sense of accomplishment, freedom, and.."

Abstract
This paper examines how the role of women in the workplace has changed dramatically since World War II. The author discusses the reasons why women went to work during the war, how they discovered a new independence, and the propaganda used to get women to work, such as role model "Rosie the Riveter". The paper describes how this flux of women in the workforce gave birth to a new type of feminism.
From the Paper
"Feminism is often thought of an instrument of social change. But understanding the history of what has occurred can be equally important, feminist historian Sherna B. Gluck would stress. She begins with an image of women of a younger generation, her women?s studies students, some of whom had campaigned for the equal rights amendment but who shy away from the title of feminist. She attempts to give an historical context to the feminist movement that stretches beyond that of so-called ?second wave? feminism of the 70?s and 80?s."

Outline:
Muscles and Might
Conclusions
From the Paper
"They needed new role models and shows such as the bungling wife in "I Love Lucy" provided just the perfect image. Women in the media during the 1950s were portrayed as incompetent. They could no longer learn to do anything that a man could do. One of the best examples is Margaret in Father Knows Best, who could barely get her car out of the garage without the help of a man. Women had been reduced in status to their former subservience. They had more important things to do during the day than worry about careers and independence, they had to keep their houses spotless and spend all of that time making sure that the cake was iced before the man came home...all while wearing high heels one might add. Women were expected to cheerfully accept their new role without resistance or complaint. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Connie Field's documentary 'The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter' explores a world and a social context far removed from the world of working women today in the early 21st century. As such, its use as a non-typical resource for study might appear surprising. However, as this essay argues, many of the issues addressed in this documentary with respect to women and work - choice, racism, the dichotomy of domestic and paid labor - continue to be issues confronting women today over a half-century later. From an inclusive political economy perspective, this essay argues the thesis that the experiences of the women represented in 'The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter' are reflective of broader, large scale social phenomena in regard to the differential treatment of women's labor in our globalized capitalist economies and the state structures that support these economies.
Outline:
Introduction
Rosie the Riveter in an Historical Context
Choice, Opportunity and the "Breadwinner Ideal"
Opportunity and Status of Women's Labour
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When we understand women's labour in this historical continuum, we gain insights into the larger structural and economic forces shaping not only opportunities for women but also the exploitation of women's labour, and the restrictions placed upon women's choices by capitalist power structures. The fact that women in the 1990s worked to ensure family survival in much the same way as did women in the 1930s is indicative of the deep structural forces that have determined women's labour opportunities over time. Moreover, this historical contextualization allows us to understand the depiction of women and work in The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter in a more complex way. Many women, and in particular women from low-income families, who were often coincidentally women of colour and/or recent immigrants, have had to work in the paid labour force before the Second World War. The significance of the historical events outlined in Connie Field's documentary is not so much that women were in the paid labour force for the first time but that the nature of their labour, and their standard of recompense, was radically different from that which they "enjoyed" in the years before the Second World War."

Edmund Spenser?s "Faerie Queen", 2005.
This paper discusses that, in Edmund Spenser's in Stanza 46 of Canto IX, Book One, of "Faerie Queen", the belief in fairies and other pagan elements co-exist with the Christian belief in God.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although rooted firmly in the Christian religion, E. Spenser's "Faerie Queen" nevertheless contains frequent positive references, both explicit and implicit, to the pagan Goddess religions, which Christianity worked so hard to replace in the British Isles. The author points out that this assertion is supported not only by the actual imagery, metaphor and other poetic devices but also by Spenser's brilliant conception of time as something nonlinear, a dimension in which past and present mingle to create an imagined reality. The paper illustrates that the first two lines of stanza 46 incorporate a combination of pagan and Christian references: The word "goodly" was closely related to the word "godly"; the reader must think that this is a reference to a tree in the Garden of Eden, which is supported by the next line, which describes the fruit upon this tree as "apples, rosie red".
From the Paper
"First, however, it is necessary to give a very brief synopsis of the events that have transpired to this point. Redcrosse Knight has come through a series of terrible ordeals on his quest to free Una's parents from the prison of the evil dragon. (Una is the woman he loves.) Along the way, both she and he have come to death's door many times. What is striking about each of their rescues, however, is that although for the most part the savior comes in godly form (as in the Lion who protected Una until he himself was killed in for his efforts), the presence of Una -- who, at one point, is taken for a goddess by a group of "nature dwellers" (i.e. pagans) as she makes her way back to the Redcrosse Knight -- is a repeating theme of the old pagan religions. Put simply, Una is a goddess-figure who weaves through the text alongside other Christian themes (as well as other, more ambiguous, themes such as the "three sisters" who heal the Redcrosse Knight through resentence so he can continue on his quest to kill the dragon and free Una's parents)."

Abstract
This paper contends that our impressions of May Welland are filtered through Newland?s consciousness. The writer suggests that it is difficult to examine her character without taking into account Archer?s view of her. However, as Archer himself eventually realizes, his sense of May is incomplete. This essay follows the development of the novel and shows how there is more to May than initially meets the eye.
From the paper:
?From the beginning, May is portrayed as the picture of innocence: she wears white, has a rosy glow, and is constantly carrying the Biblical lilies-of-the-valley. The descriptions Archer uses for her emphasize youth, athleticism, purity. He compares her, ?in her dress of white and silver, with a wreath of silver blossoms in her hair,? to ?a Diana just alight from the chase? (58-59). In another instance, in ?weather to call out May?s radiance,? he sees her burning like ?a young maple in the frost? (71).?

Providing Healthcare in China, 2007.
An analysis of Proactive Medicare Enterprise (HK) Limited's opportunities for providing healthcare in mainland China.

Abstract
The paper attempts to show the realities of healthcare growth opportunities for the partnership between Proactive Medicare Enterprise (HK) Limited and Johns Hopkins International. The paper pays attention to the ethical dilemma of operating a business that could easily become influenced by the One Child Policy and sex selection practices that China has become globally known for. The paper maintains that the future is far less rosy than what the members of the consortia of companies see. The paper contends that it is full of risks and the group of companies must focus on being in compliance with, yet also free of the potentially constricting nature of Chinese healthcare policies.
Outline:
Executive Summary
Market Dynamics in China
SWOT Analysis
Summary and Recommendations
From the Paper
"For Proactive Medicare Enterprise (HK) Limited, the opportunities at first glance appear unlimited and very promising as their initial success both from a partnership standpoint with Johns Hopkins International and from an execution of initial strategy in Shanghai. Taken at face value the case study implies the need for analysis of two emerging growth opportunities, both initially financially and strategically attractive, and little if any downside to the two expansion strategies. What is in fact missing is a more realistic assessment of healthcare throughout China which is one of the most impoverished and under-funded in the world."
