Abstract
This five page paper examines the character Royal in the film, 'The Royal Tenenbaums'. The writer describes that Gene Hackman's portrayal of Royal as a psychopathic confidence trickster makes him a fascinating character, for in literature and film, villains are always more interesting than do-gooders. The writer notes that such characters are capable of anything, and this sinister potential compels the undivided attention of everyone around them, not only the characters they interact with but the audience as well.
From the Paper
"At the end of The Royal Tenenbaums, Eli Cash confesses to Royal Tenenbaum that he has "always wanted to be a Tenenbaum." Royal's response, "So have I" is only three words long, but those three words reveal much more about Royal, his family, and their tangled, dysfunctional relationship than three-hundred words could have. Powerful, psychologically revealing dialogue like this makes 'The Royal Tenenbaums' a compelling movie to watch, for the Tenenbaums are symbolic of humanity itself. We are all flawed, and must learn to overcome our own flaws and overlook the flaws of others if we are to find love and meaning in our lives. The writer selected the character Royal for examination for a variety of reasons."

Introduction
The Role of Physicians or other Professionals?
Managed-Socialized Medicine
Implementation
A Very Large Project
What is Missing
Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"This report of the Public Health Agency of Canada (2006) offers an explanation of the Canadian Best Practices Portal for Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention, an impressive phenomenon when one remembers a vast Canadian area of health providers contending with diverse population groups in several provincial systems. The reader sees the achievement to which the authors refer but will have many questions about what is being undertaken and especially in the Portal's orientation of population medicine. The tone of the study is rather self-congratulating in terms of what contributors to the Portal for Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention have created. The early sections are a rationale of the Best Practices approach, why Canadian physicians and others who work in community health need the Portal, and with population medicine defined as medicine referring to the population, i.e. the society, as opposed to the individual. (Portal:2006:5) The early development of the Portal project to standardize some general medical practice is noted, the emphasis on preventative medicine cum health promotion described as thought it will always offset future disease, again, across a population. Population medicine is less geared to the individual, the Portal project study says, as though this is a breakthrough of some kind."

Abstract
This paper offers a short literary review of "Battle Royal" by Ralph Ellison. Ralph Ellison?s short story, "Battle Royal", is mainly an account of the African-American struggle for equality and identity. The writer concludes that the recurrent theme of "Battle Royal" is that of a struggle for one?s rights against overwhelming odds. Instances of this struggle are found throughout the story.
From the Paper
"At first, the boys are taken to a room where a nude woman is dancing. When the boys turn their heads away, they are yelled at for not looking. The tone of the rebuke implies that the blacks were not entitled to most of the ?good? things being white could bring them and that they weren?t really good enough for them. The boys then compete in the Battle Royal [Essay Bank notes on Ralph Ellison Battle Royal, 2003]. This classic example of symbolism shows the fight African Americans have been putting up against an oppressive system over time and how it was necessary to persevere and have courage even when hope diminished."

Abstract
This document discusses the Royal Dutch/Shell Corporation as it relates to its organizational structure. The topic of the paper discusses is the reorganization Royal Dutch/Shell underwent during the mid-1990s when it ended its matrix organizational model in lieu of one based on divisional lines. This new structure was a response to the global economies new demands on corporate strategy that found companies being forced to respond to competitive market forces around the globe where previously these pressured did not exist.
From the Paper
"Royal Dutch/Shell (Royal) benefited greatly from its matrix organizational structure in that the matrix structure aligned neatly with its core business strategies. As the case points out, the petroleum industry is characterized by long-term business decisions being made on a daily basis for which the outcome of those decisions may not be fully known or understood for many years. Thus, the oversight of the dual executive management ensured that such long-term decisions would never be taken lightly and that they would, in all cases be weighed within the context of the local and regional environment as well as the strategic health of the company as a whole. Yet, one of the major negatives of such a structure is that decision-making becomes a lengthy process and the company in question cannot respond to market forces in an agile manner."

The Royal National Theatre, 2002.
This paper discusses the Royal National Theatre as a cultural institution.
1,150 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 5 sources, $ 44.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The Royal National Theatre needs to be cherished as a place where new voices and old stories come together to remind the nation of where it has been, and to illuminate the path to take in the future. England is the birthplace of the world's greatest playwright, and some lesser lights (comparatively speaking) such as Jonson, Marlowe, Webster, Sheridan, Shaw, Pinter, Stoppard. The last few years has seen a resurgence in new playwrighting which is vital, funny, edgy and intelligent. That is a culture worth protecting and developing and the Royal National Theatre seems the ideal institution in which to do it.

The Royal Women of Medieval Europe, 2007.

Abstract
This paper considers the role of royal medieval women, including their political and religious influence. The author presents a country by country analysis of royal families in medieval Europe, explaining the traditions of succession in each of these countries, and whether or not women could ascend to the throne in these kingdoms. The author concludes that women had political weight during this time. They contributed, even if sometimes indirectly, to the evolution of the states where they lived and they made themselves a place in history.
From the Paper
"The queens of medieval Western Europe were present in almost each and every state, from the Scandinavian kingdoms to Spain and from England to Hungary. Their power was sometimes only in name, other times they had the real attributes of the kings. They got involved in political battles and plots, being (in some of the cases) real partners of their kings and having specific duties or true rulers, in name and in fact, of their empire. The medieval Byzantium is a stage for powerful empresses, from Theodora, in the sixth century and Irene, in the eighth to Anne of Savoy, in the fourteenth century. The first two empresses played an important part in the iconoclastic debate, their role being grounded in the "interstices of Byzantine society, in myths, in liturgical practices and religious beliefs and the symbols surrounding them, which they could draw upon" . Acting on two contemporary "stages" - the religious influence and the direct ruling, the empresses of the Eastern Roman Empire constituted exceptional figures, influencing and directing the politics of their times."

"Battle Royal", 2005.
An analysis of Ralph Ellison's short story, "Battle Royal."
849 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how, in "Battle Royal," the narrator's development and enlightenment occur through two kinds of conflict. It explains how, in "Battle Royal," the narrator's inner conflict stems from what his grandfather told him and what he instinctively believes to be true. His social conflict comes from living in a society that does not agree with him.
From the Paper
"We know that the narrator is on a journey because very early in the story he tells us, "All my life I was looking for something, and every were that I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction" (Ellison 196). Here we see how, as a young man, the narrator was not confident enough with his own thoughts and opinions, so he listens to what others had to say. However, every time he does this, he is thrown off course to discover who he is. His realization that what people tell him often contradictory is a first step toward his growth. However, it takes the narrator awhile to realize who he is. This is an example of the inner conflict that causes him strife for many years."

Abstract
"Battle Royal" is the first chapter of the book, "Invisible Man", by Ralph Ellison. The writing was also published as a short story. This paper discusses the approach Ralph Ellison took to writing this chapter, explaining that he wrote it from the personal perspective that the larger world outside of the town where he grew up was full of multitudes of individuals that were forgotten or "invisible".
From the Paper
""Battle Royal" is the first Chapter of the book The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. The writing was also published as a short story. Ellison himself grew up in Oklahoma at a time when the rest of the country was strongly divided due to racial prejudice. Yet, in Ellison's own town there was no such separation of the races, as most were poor and simply trying to survive (Seidlitz para. 1-4). Beyond his childhood, however, Ellison was well aware of the manner in which society viewed culture and race with negative viewpoints that created a segregated society."
