Abstract
This paper looks at the emotional and cultural significance of the Stanley Cup in Canadian culture. The paper discusses the history of the Cup, as well its impact on local community and nationalism as evidenced by rioting and suicide reduction. Some of the reasons the paper suggests for this extreme significance are a quasi-religious attachment to sports in general and the socially significant role of sports as "ceremonial occasions.
From the Paper
"Winning is arguably the goal of any sport, but with some sporting events, whether you're playing or watching from the stands or your living room, there is so much more going on. If it's your favorite team, the underdog of the season you've been rooting for all along, or the Big Game of the season, sometimes that one game can be exhilarating or devastating beyond all others. This is especially the case when it's a championship game such as the Superbowl, World Series, or, as will be further discussed, the Stanley Cup."

From the Paper
"The number seven is significant in almost every culture but the reason for this significance is too obscure to be explained. Some have suggested that it comes from the Seven planets but the number is significant among peoples who are ignorant of Seven planets. Others suggest that it comes from the Four phases of moon which come in periods of Seven days, the week therefore is the original number from which the significance is derived. Seven as a meaningful number appears in Mesopotamia, Egypt and Canaan. The number seven in secular sense is accepted as complete or to the full."

Abstract
This paper examines "The Declining Significance of Race" by William Wilson. It evaluates which of Wilson's points remain relevant in examining race and class relations today. It then examines the book's weaknesses, such as the presentation of African-Americans as a monolithic culture. In the conclusion, the paper finds that Wilson's book remains an insightful starting point, however it also suggests that more studies remain to be done regarding how social stratification by race, gender and class continue to be relevant.
Table of Contents:
Wilson's Thesis
Sociology Of Minority Group Relations
From the Paper
"Additionally, recasting "minority group" in class-based terms opens new opportunities for addressing poverty. Instead of recycling race-based policies that benefit those who are already economically-secure, anti-poverty programs should look towards helping those who are economically-disadvantaged, regardless of their race. Wilson's suggestions included WPA-style work programs. To these suggestions, this paper also recommends daycare programs in poor neighborhoods, after-school and mentorship programs for older children and funding clinics for low-income urban residents. These combined programs would go a long way towards providing an economically-poor minority with resources to help them improve their life chances."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at those who oppose Beowulf. The author of the paper believes that it is in order to understand the poem it is necessary to understand the opponents? actions and how they influence the text.
From the Paper
"One could argue that the significance of Beowulf?s foes lies in their purpose of enhancing the glory of Beowulf?s heroism. According to the poet, Beowulf battles Grendel?s mother in this feud because, ?A man must act so/ when he means in a fight to frame himself/ a long-lasting glory? (Beowulf, pg. 99, ll 1534-1536). By providing enemies for Beowulf to defeat, it would allow him to display his courage and attain glory. However, Beowulf later states, ?I performed this deed/ not without a struggle. Our strife had ended/ at its very beginning if God had not saved me? (Beowulf, pg. 103, ll 1657-1659). This statement shows that Beowulf gives the credit of his victory to God. Beowulf expresses his opinion that God is the one who deserves the glory in these battles and not him. Therefore, it is shown that Beowulf does not obtain glory through the defeat of his foes and this further rejects the idea that the significance of the antagonists is to enhance Beowulf?s heroism. The role of Beowulf?s opponents in the poem is more significant and meaningful if they are used as characters created by the poet to express his criticism of revenge and feuds. "

Friday's Significance, 2005.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The character of Friday in Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" is a controversial one, certainly, but he is also significant. This paper shows that Friday reveals many things throughout the narrative of "Robinson Crusoe," and his significance to the novel is shown through his appearance, personality, and culture.
From the Paper
"With the development of Friday's character and personality, readers begin to see the differences between Crusoe and his servant. In many ways, Friday is more charismatic and colourful than Crusoe, and this underlines Crusoe's almost wooden personality. One such event is when Friday is reunited with his father, and jumps and sings for joy at the reunion. Here again Friday shows the contrast between his character and that of Crusoe. Throughout the entire novel Crusoe never mentions missing his family, nor does he dream of a happy reunion with them. Friday's display shows readers what is missing from Crusoe's heart, the emotion that comes with caring for others and being a meaningful part of a family."

Origins and Significance of Hyperbolic Geometry, 2008.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the origins and significance of hyperbolic geometry. Specifically,it briefly discusses the men who conceived of it, as well as how hyperbolic geometry differs from Euclidean geometry. Finally, and most importantly, the paper looks at the significance of hyperbolic geometry when it comes to exploring the universe around us.
From the Paper
"Delving deeper, the contemporary significance of non-Euclidean geometry grows more and more unavoidable - even to those disinclined to give it its "due". For one thing, it is well-known that hyperbolic geometry has shed some light on the immersion and curvature of spaces. More importantly, Einstein's theory of relativity is, at least in part, indebted to non-Euclidean geometry - though it is admittedly not clear from the available literature the precise extent to which hyperbolic geometry made his revolutionary findings vis-a-vis relativity possible. In any event, this writer - drawing upon course work completed in previous introductory classes that dealt with geometry and its relationship to modern cosmology - would be remiss if he did not also point out the fact that the "empty" regions in outer space where no matter exists can really only be described adequately using a hyperbolic model. In effect, understanding the Hubble Constant involves understanding and appreciating non-Euclidean, hyperbolic geometry."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the content of "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" as a primary historical source for the creation of English and England. It shows how the work of historian Venerable Bede documents England prior to the "Chronicle" and details religious and cultural life in that era, while the Chronicle focuses on the broader historical scale of war. It also focuses on the linguistic significance of the "Chronicle" the first important piece of English prose.
From the paper:
"One of the most important aspects of 'The Angle-Saxon Chronicle' is that it is the first continuous national history of any western people in their own language. Written down by a succession of generations of scribes, 'The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' covers such fundamentally important events in the history of early England as the migration of the Saxon war-lords, the results of the Romanization of Britain, the onslaught of the Vikings, the Norman Conquest and on the reign of Stephen."

»

Abstract
This paper explains the importance of the exodus as a central and crucial part of world history, Christian theology and the geography of the ancient Near East. It discusses the significance of the exodus with references to the Biblical text, showing the Jewish people's relationship with YHWH, their fulfillment of the covenant. The paper also discusses the partial fulfillment of God's promise of land, progeny and a blessing.
From the Paper
"There are different routes supported by many scholars, but none on their theories can be supported with evidence.21 As previously mentioned the landscape of the Gulf area has been forever altered because of the construction of the Suez Canal. Scholars are left to wonder if this alteration to the land has forever buried or destroyed the evidence needed to solidify which route was the chosen path of the Exodus from Egypt. The geographical significance of the Exodus lies in the vast distances traveled by the Hebrews in their escape from the Egyptian slave masters. The historical, theological and geographical significance of the Exodus is now clear. The sheer magnitude of accomplishment of the Hebrews, led by Moses, is awe inspiring, and it is clearly the central event of the Old Testament."

Abstract
This paper uses the example of Ralph Ellison to illustrate the significance of one's name. The paper explores the way a person's name can affect how that person seems himself, as well as how others see him. It points out that a person's name can be burdensome, but can also be an important part of self-evaluation and reflection.
From the Paper
"Ralph Ellison would be another one of those nay Sayers, who would tell Juliet that names are quite important. He was born disliking his own name and even though he eventually came to like the oddity of his name, he would never deny the significance of his ?naming.? According to his 1964 essay "Hidden Name and Complex Fate," his father gave Ellison his name. He was named, not for a family member, but for the nineteenth-century American philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson."

The Significance of Point of View, 2008.

Abstract
This paper explains the significance of narrative voice as it is used in Stevenson's "Will O' the Mill", Hardy's "The three Strangers", Conrad's "The Inn of the Two Witches" and Stafford's "Bad Characters". The analysis discusses the use of style through narrative voice as well as the author's manner of dealing with the morality of both societal and individual issues.
From the Paper
"All in all, Stevenson, Hardy, Conrad and Stafford use their narrative voice as a significant element in their stories. Stevenson's and Hardy's third person narrative voice makes the plot objective and clear whereas Conrad's shifting voice supplies the story with the necessary mystery and Stafford's first person offers a subjective view against the series of events in the story."

The Ritual Significance of Play, 2004.
This paper discusses that the modern rituals of play have underlying social and religious system of belief structures.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the notion of ?deep play?, play with multiple levels of anthropological and sociological significance, is demonstrated in both Balinese cockfighting and American baseball. The author points out that rituals are shaped in dialogue with culture and the difficulties humans experience, not for simple rewards. The paper relates that ritual creation may arise out of uncertainty, but it is a social and spiritual uncertainty, as well as an uncertainty of what actions will transpire.
From the Paper
"All of these rituals came after long years of baseball practice and performing well in a series of games. Although they might seem like purely mechanical and useless acts against he effects of chance?of bad weather, bad calls, or a cramp in the arm or leg?they might even be said, like the Andean coca chewing to have physical effects that positively impact the potential game. The caffeine in the ice tea, the coolness of the beverage, the buzz of the Beech-Nut Tobacco, even, in today?s nutritionally conscious times, the Omega-3 fatty acids present in the tuna, in a perfect meld of protein and carbohydrate loading?all have physical, albeit subtle affects upon the baseball player?s physical as well as mental state. This is not to say that having an ice tea is the same as chewing a coca leaf. However, the physical aspects and effects of rituals created for the player in his own world have physical effects upon the player as well as analogs with the rituals that are generated in more communal and long-term cultural settings."
