Abstract
This paper begins by discussing the ability of the main character, Tarleton's wife, and points out the irony of her outward hyper-morality. Hypatia, his daughter, is the next woman to be considered. The paper describes how her inner vibrancy is reigned in and dimmed by the feminine social role that is forced on her. Hypatia finally breaks away from this, but in doing so, she becomes cruel and hardened in breaking men's hearts. Finally, the writer contrasts these two with the character of Lina, who arrives in the second half of the play. From the far-away land of Poland, Lina's amazing personality may be presumed to be an effect of growing up outside of straitlaced British society. She is independent, career-oriented, and, unlike the rest of the household, not afraid to question social conventions and gender stereotypes.
From the Paper
"Misalliance is on one level an exploration of whether the evolution of Shaw?s ?superwoman? is possible in a society morally and socially similar to England?s at the turn of the 20th century. Shaw, a progressive and a feminist (who, in ?Man and Superman? preaches against ?the domestic miseries of the slaves of the wedding ring? (p. 169)), was concerned with the bettering of humanity, both male and female. In the first half of his play (prior to the plane crash), the moral and social limitations and restrictions of early 1900s British society are lithely debated. In the second half, Shaw employs the utterly fantastical entrance of Lina, his ideal ?superwoman? (and conveniently a foreigner completely removed from the societal confines governing the other characters) to demonstrate his opinion of existing social norms. Lina?s presence evokes comparison between she ? the feminist ideal of efficiency, vibrancy, self-control, and independence ? and the women produced by English society at the time (or in any similar society) ? Mrs. Tarleton, wife of a well-meaning, philandering underwear salesman, and their daughter Hypatia. And so the audience can determine for themselves if the societal restrictions discussed in the first half inhibit women from reaching their full potential, as demonstrated by the extraordinary Lina of the second half."

Searching for the Definitive Personality Theory, 2002.
This paper represents the author?s search for the ideal personality theory, which then is applied to a therapeutic approach.
2,920 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 86.95

Abstract
This paper reviews many prominent personality theories:
William James, Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Abraham Maslow, Alfred Adler, Margaret Mahler, Otto Kernberg, Buddhists, Carl Rogers, Heinz Kohut, Erik Erikson, Karen Horney, Albert Bandura and Rollo May. The author believes that these theories are broad and simply defined, but there is not yet a collective theory of personality that can be applied to everyone.
From the Paper
"William James believed in the psychology of the consciousness. James understood, unlike many of his predecessors, that consciousness is selective. ... Sigmund Freud felt consciousness was anything that a person is aware of at a particular time. Alternatively, John B. Watson believed that the consciousness does not exist and all human behavior is conditioned. Overall, this writer feels that the consciousness does exist as a personality construct and is, therefore, difficult to define. Consciousness should be seen as a state of being, a factor of living and experiencing life. A person making a conscious decision has made that decision based on the knowledge presented and using the processing that is unique to that particular personality."

Abstract
In thinking about the differences between true believers and skeptics regarding repressed memories, I would place them on a continuum. They seem to represent the extremes in this situation, both operating on faith, rather than evidence. The skeptics simply assert that there is no such thing as repressed memory, while true believers believe every word. Neither group contributes usefully to the discussion of the role of repressed memory, and its mechanisms and processes.

Abstract
In Anne's Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" and "The Vampire Lestat," the psychological self-examination and realizations of the characters contribute to an understanding of self in life and in death. The paper shows that the characters in both novels are perpetually asking questions of themselves and of others around them, desperately seeking the answers they yearn for. One of the main focuses of many of these characters is their morality in the decisions that they choose and are forced to make. The paper shows that closely following in the footsteps of the questions of morality is the quest for humanity. The vampiric characters in both novels are clearly not physically human any longer, but they strive to find and preserve the inner humanity. Finally, after finding the answers to their questions on morality and humanity, characters try to establish the place, if any, left to them in the mortal world.
From the Paper
"Louis asks himself if his "very nature is that of a devil" (Interview, p. 73), trying to determine once and for all whether he has a place in the world of men, or if he is simply too monstrous to continue to try to be a part of their world. Several of the characters from The Vampire Lestat also struggle with this concept. They avoid the public, and shun the symbols of God with a belief that they will harm them. They disregard the advice given to them by their old queen, who has told them many times that "there is nothing to fear in the sign of the Cross, nor the Holy Water, nor the Sacrament itself" (Vampire Lestat, p. 226), but they do not listen to her wisdom. They believe that by their very nature they have no place in the world of men, and must keep themselves segregated from it, even after Lestat proves the old queen right, and shows them they have nothing to fear from a church or anything it contains."

Abstract
Coming to terms with the monstrosities which take place within certain African countries such as Haiti, Ghana, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and so on, is often difficult because the information concerning what takes place is censored through the government's control of media and journalism. Therefore it is very important when author's communicate this through their writings. This paper discusses these horrific events and how they are portrayed in these stories.

The Search and Seizure Law, 2007.
This paper discusses the Fourth Amendment and the controversy surrounding vehicle searches and consent to search issues.
2,777 words (approx. 11.1 pages), 14 sources, MLA, $ 82.95

Abstract
The paper discusses federal and state case law involving the Fourth Amendment. The paper shows how the right to protection from unreasonable search and seizure is not a simple issue, particularly when dealing with the search of vehicles. The paper highlights how there are no consistent laws regarding search and seizure of vehicles; there are differing opinions of various courts on these issues. The paper concludes that motorists will continue to be confused and the rights of American citizens will continue to be in jeopardy.
From the Paper
"When originally drafted, the Fourth Amendment sought to protect the colonists from unreasonable search and seizure in smuggling cases. Prior to the Amendment, the English authorities used writs of assistance, or general warrants that authorized officials to search anything and seize any goods. These writs remained in effect for the lifetime of the king. In 1760, when King George II passed away, these writs were challenged by James Otis on the grounds these writs went against the English constitution (FindLaw, "History."). As a result, when the Amendments to the United States constitution were drafts, a protection of unreasonable search and seizure was included in the rights of the people."

Constitution
The Case
From the Paper
"The constitution addresses the topic of search and seizure and the boundaries that must be followed.
In another CA case a man was refused entry to his home until police officers could obtain a search warrant that uncovered some marijuana.
The police were initially called because his ex-wife was moving out and asked for a civil standby while she removed her things. As she was leaving she told officers that she saw her husband hide marijuana under a couch. Police refused to allow him entry to the home for 15 minutes while they obtained a search warrant because they believed if he got into the house he would flush the evidence. The courts held the actions were illegal. The law allows search and seizure without a search warrant in cases of extreme and immediate danger to someone's life. This was not the case in the marijuana search. "

Search and Seizure Laws, 2002.
This paper discusses search and seizure laws based on the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

Abstract
This paper discusses that the Constitution of the United States provides protection from illegal search and seizure through the Fourth Amendment, but the Fourth Amendment is written in such a way that it can be vague when it comes to what is and what is not a legal search and seizure. The author points out that searches and seizures must have reasonable reasons for being requested and for being authorized and conducted; when a search is allowed, it must be backed by affirmations or oaths that explain why the search is being requested. The paper concludes that any time one studies issues of the Fourth Amendment rights to be protected from search and seizure that is unreasonable, it is important to understand that the case may look very similar to others, but may be completely different when the facts are examined.
From the Paper
"The judges who ruled in each case commented that if the jacket had been locked in a briefcase within the van it might have called to question the driver?s ability to consent to a search. This was an interesting ruling especially since previous cases regarding similar issues have been decided I favor of the government as well as against the government and its claim to the right to search possessions within a stopped vehicle."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the United States, to search private property in their criminal investigations, the police are normally required to have a written search warrant. The author points out the very strict guidelines for search warrants, which were created to protect individual citizens from unwarranted abuses by the police and the justice system. The paper states that the hysterical reaction of the authorities and society to the events of 9/11 has resulted in a significant change regarding the criminal justice system and its rules so that searches, warrants and their concomitant rules have become flexible and arbitrary.

Additional Types of Search Warrants
9/11 Issues and Concerns
From the Paper
"Blood samples are normally required in situations where endangerment is caused by an over-indulgence in substances such as drugs or alcohol. Driving under the influence, for example, is such a situation. Surreptitious surveillance is also an issue that is under the control of courts and would be a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms if conduced without a warrant. As will be seen, this has become an extremely controversial issue in the United States."

Abstract
This paper defines what a search engine is and explains how various search engines work. There is a search engine glossary which provides an explanation of the various search methods and an evaluation of some of the bigger search engines on the Internet.
From the Paper
"As defined by an online encyclopedia called Webopedia, a search engine is ?a program that searches documents for specified keywords and returns a list of the documents where the keywords were found. Although search engine is really a general class of programs, the term is often used to specifically describe systems like Alta Vista and Excite that enable users to search for documents on the World Wide Web and USENET newsgroups?1. In a logistical sense, a search engine acts like a warehouse. The following demonstrates how web pages are found and indexed, then stored like inventory until a user requests the keyword(s) or subject found in those particular web pages."
