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
"When Lord Stanley, Governor-General of Canada, became interested in the winter sport of ice hockey, along with his wife, daughter and seven sons, he expressed a desire to introduce a challenge trophy for the numerous amateur clubs that were, at that time, playing the sport for the sheer enjoyment of the game."
"The first team to hold the cup was Montreal, after Ottawa refused to play for the right to hold it, due to a misguided belief that the trophy should naturally be in their possession as Lord Stanley's favourite team. This, and the fact that Lord Stanley never saw two teams compete for the cup, due to his return to Great Britian, were the first two historical ironies that occurred following Stanley's donation of the cup in 1893."

The human resources function touches on many critical areas in the organization including staffing, training and compensation to name the least. Their policies and procedures ultimately impact the organization's culture, incentives, compensation and other systems that promote organizational development. It is vital that in a global environment the human resources firm operate in a manner that reflects the aims and objectives or organizational goals of the firms as a whole."

Abstract
This paper looks at how experimentation as a primary research method for determining human behavior is specifically utilized in psychologist Stanley Milgram?s research on the nature of obedience among humans, popularly known as the ?Behavioral Study of Obedience? and also known as the "Stanley Obedience Study". It analyzes the study in terms of its importance in studying the relationship between the individual and society, as well as critiques raised about the psychologist?s research.
From the Paper
"In order to better analyze Milgram?s obedience study, specific details about the research must be noted. This study, conducted during the 1960s, was an experiment conducted in Yale University. The objective of the research was to determine at what conditions the subjects (units of analysis of the study) were more likely to develop destructive obedience. Thus, Milgram designed the experiment in such a way where the subjects under study were told to punish the victim (an accomplice) when s/he commits an error during the experiment. The activity that the subjects participate is a word-pair test, where errors committed by the victim/learner is correspondingly punished with electric shocks that increases in intensity as the victim increases his/her errors in the test. Through the experiment, Milgram concluded that ?[m]ore people do what they are told to do as long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority? (Santrock, 2000:563)."

From the Paper
"Stanley left the Union Navy in 1865 when the Minnesota returned to port, and began to start his career as a journalist by moving to St. Louis. There, he begins to travel to the American West and write dispatches for a local newspaper. His talent in journalism and exploration continued to grow and Stanley?s dispatches began to appear all over the United States. He was successful at recounting the ?corruption and sin? that was going on in many frontier towns. His flourishing career in journalism caught the eye of James Gordon Bennett Jr. of the New York Herald. Stanley was soon commissioned by Bennett to report on a British war against the Emperor of Abyssinia."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Dean Witter was formed in the mid-1920s in San Francisco; Morgan Stanley was formed in the mid-1930s in response to the Glass-Steagall Banking Act which placed restrictions on the banking industry. The two firms competed throughout the twentieth century with Dean Witter often taking major steps several years ahead of Morgan Stanley (for example, Dean Witter gained a seat on the New York Stock Exchange well before Morgan Stanley. Mergers and acquisitions characterized Dean Witter's growth while Morgan Stanley generated growth from within. Both companies were early implementers of computers and electronic data processing within their organizations. Dean Witter, a publicly traded company since 1972, was acquired by Sears in 1981; Morgan Stanley went public in 1986, the same year that Dean Witter launched the Discover card on a nationwide basis. In 1992 and 1993, Sears spun off Dean Witter, and the two companies merged in 1997 with headquarters in New York."

Abstract
This paper relates that Stanley Milgram was a pioneer researcher on obedience to authority. The author points out that his ground-breaking and shocking studies conducted at Yale in the 1960s are still relevant today. The paper provides historical background on Professor Milgram, a full description of the obedience studies, their results and their applications to society and humanity.
From the Paper
"Written in 1974, Stanley Milgram's Obedience to Authority revealed shocking truths about human nature--particularly with respect to how easily people could be manipulated to perform horrible acts on innocents when induced by a perceived legitimate authority figure. "...the most fundamental lesson of our study: ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process." (Stanley Milgram, 1974, as quoted in Blass, 2004, xvii). While his groundbreaking research was conducted in the 1960s, his findings are relevant today in the field of psychology and in many other fields. His work continues to be studied and applied (Blass, 2004). Just what were these experiments, and what did they find?"

Abstract
This paper first provides biographical information on the life of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and then goes on to take a look at his more popular films. The paper also presents brief analyses of the films and looks at what makes Kubrick's films so great and why he will always be remembered as such an accomplished filmmaker.
From the Paper
"Stanley Kubrick, who many would describe as one of the greatest filmmakers every, was born in 1928 in the Bronx, New York. Believe it or not many would say that Kubrick was not a born writer or filmmaker, but rather one that was made. This is the result of some less than spectacular early attempts at writing and filmmaking. Though Kubrick did believe that college might be beneficial at some point in his life, he was actually not able to get into college due to his tremendously bad grades in high school (SK-TMF 1). His passions while young included "jazz drumming, chess and photography" (SK-TMF 1). Considered a "non-brilliant student", it took some time for Kubrick to begin pursing his real dream... filmmaking (SK-TMF 1)."

From the Paper
"The average age for youth to become involved with a gang is between twelve to seventeen years. There is an increasing movement toward recruitment of elementary school aged youth. A contributing factor to this is that gang members know that states do not routinely prosecute younger children. This is a way for gang members to involve youth in their illegal activities, in an effort to remain out of jail. The younger children are extremely motivated to gain the approval of older male gang members, who they see as role models. It is increasingly necessary, then, that gang prevention education begins with elementary school age children."

From the Paper
"This paper is a summary and analysis of the book "Teacher Evaluation: Six Prescriptions for Success", a compilation of approaches to evaluating effective teaching. School administrations continue to search for comprehensive tools for evaluating how well their teachers do their jobs. The six approaches presented here offer six different perspectives on the problem, each of which contributes significantly to the discussion, from emphasizing the need for ongoing staff development to analyzing the precise tasks and ways of thinking that a teacher needs to use in the classroom. None gives a comprehensive solution. Taken together, however, these six prescriptions illuminate some of the possible traps and areas of concern that school administrators face in asking how effectively their schools educate their pupils. The prescriptions were ... "

From the Paper
"The ending of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey appears to many viewers to be too obscure and even to have little to do with the film as a whole, but this is a misreading of what takes place. 2001: A Space Odyssey is a film that may appear to lack a cohesive literary structure and to be instead a series of barely related incidents at different time periods, with different characters and somewhat obscure situations. The protracted journey through the starscape near the end of the film and the peculiar imagery that succeeds it, all occurring without external comment or explanation, can add to the sense that there is a lack of cohesion and purpose to the film. In truth, though, the structure of this film is carefully wrought and coheres around thematic concerns, recurring images, and a central issue that carries the plot to a logical if tentative conclusion. There is meaning in the ending, and to ascertain this meaning it is necessary to consider the structure of the entire film and the manner in which the filmmaker carries meaning through imagery and ...

From the Paper
"Stanley M. Elkins, in Slavery: A Problem in American Institutional and Intellectual Life, examines the origins of slavery in the United States, related to freedom and authority, and the creation of what he refers to as the "Sambo" as a type of slave personality. The question of the role of "freedom" in the establishment of the brutal system of American slavery must be qualified. The freedom referred has nothing to do with democratic freedom, and everything to do with the unbridled freedom of capitalism to flourish without regard to the rights or even the humanity of the slaves. The rich, white slaveholders were certainly exercised their own democratic freedom, but the fact that slavery accompanied such freedom must call into question any claim that the United States was indeed democratic while slavery endured. Of course, the freedom of the slaves themselves is also ..."

"A Clockwork Orange" ( Stanley Kubrick ) and "The Player" ( Robert Altman ), 1995.
Compares the directors' styles, control, structure, character and views of society.

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The films A Clockwork Orange and The Player reflect the interests and styles of their respective directors, Stanley Kubrick and Robert Altman. The two filmmakers are very different in their methods of filmmaking--Kubrick is a former photographer with an eye for composition and control, while Altman prefers improvisation and the power of the moment, often a moment created by the actors themselves as they interact with one another and with the material. A Clockwork Orange is very much a controlled work showing the hand of Kubrick in every frame, while The Player shows how Altman improvises and relies less on control and more on spontaneity. Both filmmakers are commenting on cultural and social values they see in the world around them, and both see the values of the past, and the values that actually have value, as being eroded by various forces in the culture itself. Kubrick's ..."

"A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick, 1997.
Psychosocial analysis of portrayal of deviance in the violent futuristic 1970 film.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 3 sources, $ 39.95

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
" The film A Clockwork Orange presents a vision of deviance in a future society, a society extrapolated from the growing urban crime problems of 1970 when the film was made. The exact year in which the film is set is not indicated, but it is likely somewhere around our current era. The film creates a sense of menace from the first, and yet at the same time, it uses strong imagery and high stylization to turn its dark vision into a black comedy. The concept of deviance by which sociologists try to explain aberrant and anti-social behavior, or behavior that goes against the norms of society, explains the delinquent activity in A Clockwork Orange, though the film undercuts a strict interpretation of crime as deviance by developing the idea that some crime is an expression of personal preference and inner freedom."
