From the Paper
"When companies decide to market the same product in different locations, they need to take into account the differences in demand in each market. One of the first decisions these companies make is whether the product will have sufficient demand in various markets to make its widespread availability worthwhile. This is commonly done when companies take on international marketing, but may be less rigorous when the product is being marketed in a single country. This research considers the marketing strategies for a ..."

From the Paper
"The history of Sun Microsystems? operations strategy can be seen from its first years when Andreas Bechtolsheim, William Joy, Vinod Khosla, and Scott McNealy founded Sun Microsystems, Inc., in 1982 for the purpose of selling low-cost, high-performance desktop computers running the UNIX operating system. These computer workstations found immediate acceptance among engineers, software developers, and scientists who benefited from having dedicated machines, rather than sharing more expensive minicomputers or mainframe computer systems (www.java.sun.com). Unlike its Fortune 500 competitors, Sun Microsystems did not have revenue from other sources to fund development of its computer workstations. This meant that the company needed hundreds of millions of dollars in start-up investments, as well as large purchase agreements, to develop a hardware manufacturing infrastructure and to attract top-flight hardware and software engineers. In 1983 the company signed a multimillion-dollar original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with Computervision Corporation, a designer of computer-aided design and engineering programs. This was the first of many large OEMs for which Sun built computers that sold the workstations under their own labels (Jackson, 1998, p. 119)."

Abstract
The writer of this paper details how the necessity of strategy has made Sun Tsu and Machiavelli extremely popular subjects in business classes around the country. This paper examines the principles and strategic views of both Sun Tsu and Machiavelli while discussing their relevance in today's business world. This paper explores the various reasons both Machiavelli and Sun Tsu have been criticized for their ruthlessness. The writer delves into the issue of ethics and morality as a tactical strategy as detailed in Machiavelli's "The Prince" which is often read as a purely strategic text. The writer contends and explains why business is war and that the tactics of warfare and diplomacy make good business. This paper details the five governing factors that must be taken into account in both warfare and business as dictated in Sun Tsu's "The Art of War." This paper analyzes how the Coca Cola Corporation successfully applied Sun Tsu's "Stratagem of Sowing Discord" in a campaign to outsell Pepsi Corp.
From the Paper
"This stress on morality as well as tactical strategy may seem antithetical to Machiavelli's advice to The Prince, which is often read as a purely strategic text. But both leaders counsel not higher aims, but what is tactically practical, and having a rallying cause is necessary to inspire the troops, ad well as to know one's enemy. Both leaders also give advice as to how to win over different nations, and stress the need to stay in power, as well as to purely acquire power. And Machiavelli notes, it "cannot be called talent to slay fellow-citizens, to deceive friends, to be without faith, without mercy, without religion; such methods may gain empire," in the short run, "but not glory," and long-lasting security for the ruler."

Nikita Mikhalkov?s film, "Burnt by the Sun", 2003.
Examines the themes of culpability and persecution in the film about the Russian Revolution, "Burnt by the Sun".

Abstract
The essay discusses Nikita Mikhalkov's "Burnt by the Sun" and argues that "the sun of the revolution" of 1917 burnt everyone in some way, either ending or tragically altering their lives. Along with victimhood and persecution, the paper also addresses the motif of Stalin's omnipresence, which permeates the film.
From the Paper
"On November 7th, 1917 the Bolshevik Revolution took place in Russia, displacing the provisional government and putting Vladimir Lenin at the helm of the newly formed communist state. The years that followed saw the country torn apart by a brutal civil war that left no village untouched and no family unmarked. Then came the collectivization campaign, dekulakization, purges of the military and the accumulation of the slave work force in the labor camps. Some twenty years after Red soldiers and sailors secured the Winter Palace and the Bolsheviks seized power, millions of Russians were dead, imprisoned or exiled. However everyone, without exception was in some way burnt by the sun of the Revolution. Nikita Mikhalkov?s film ?Burnt By The Sun? (1994) is a stirring account of one family?s tragic downfall in the purges of the 1930s. Mikhalkov, one of Russia?s most prolific filmmakers, illustrates that no matter what side of the repressions one ended up, he was interminably a sufferer, whether on behalf of the system or a more direct casualty of it. While the director is careful not to argue for moral equivalence between the characters, there is nonetheless an unmistakable theme of widespread persecution under the cult of Stalin that permeates every aspect of life."

Abstract
Sun Yat Sen's alliance with Soviet and Chinese communists has been attributed by many Western historians to factors such as expediency, but careful study of this period of Chinese history, combined with deeper insights into his character and personality, indicate that his motivations were much more complex. This paper asserts that Sun Yat Sen's activities involving the reorganization of the Kuomintang cannot be explained or understood by attributing them to simple expediency. Rather, the paper argues, that Sun Yat Sen was navigating very deep political and social waters at this time, and set his course in accordance with his belief in China's destiny and his belief in himself as the man who could lead his country to that destiny.

"The Sun Rising", 2003.
A review of John Donne's poem "The Sun Rising".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines John Donne's "The Sun Rising," an aubade poem in which the speaker berates the sun for rousing him and his lover after a night of sexual bliss. It looks at how his relationship with his mistress becomes the axis around which both the poem and his life revolve and how in his mind, the vast outer limits of the universe contract to the small space that he occupies with his lover, the only space of any importance to him: his bed. It analyzes the diction of the speaker, the external structure of the poem and the transformation of cosmic symbols and celestial imagery throughout the poem. It discusses how the use of the poem's setting as a microcosm of the world illuminates the poem's central theme of the paradoxical nature of true love.
From the Paper
"The speaker?s interpretation of the sun?s functions evolves throughout the poem, mirroring the fluctuations of his own passions. Initially, he belittles the sun by associating it with the distasteful tasks of rousing ?late schoolboys and sour prentices? (6) and calling mindless automatons, or ?country ants? (8) to work. In the second stanza, he further extends his arrogant deprecation of the sun?s faculties by asserting both that he could shut out its rays by merely closing his eyes and that his mistress? eyes shine so brightly that they could eclipse its light. Such hyperbolic declarations mark the culmination of his condescending remarks and the climax of his reckless passion, for in the third stanza he tempers his bold assertions by finally recognizing the sun?s true duty ?[t]o warm the world? (28)."

The Sun - Source of All Knowledge, 2002.
Examining Plato's theory of why the sun is such a powerful entity.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper sheds light on Plato?s allegory of the cave and explains why this great philosopher viewed the sun as the source of all knowledge. It shows how Plato presented his famous allegory of the cave in his book "The Republic" that compares human existence to darkness of life in the cave and shows why sun represents the real light of knowledge.
From the Paper
"Plato, the most distinguished of Socrates? disciples, was of the view that most people in this world are living in complete darkness. This darkness has made it impossible to see the ?actual, unchanging? truth and thus the knowledge they possess about people and things is highly impaired. Plato illustrated these opinions and other such valuable observations in his allegory of the Cave, which appeared in his famous book, The Republic. This allegory is though very clear in intent, can still confuse readers, new to the world of philosophy. This is because the allegory appears in the form of dialogues between Socrates and Glaucon. The great philosopher is trying to explain why people of greater knowledge can often encounter ridicule by those who have refused to come out of the cave. "

Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises", 2002.
Introduces, discusses, and analyzes "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway.

Abstract
This paper offers a history of the critical reception of "The Sun Also Rises." The paper demonstrates how the book has been interpreted since the time of its publication and highlights those critics who made a major contribution to new ways of interpreting it. The paper underscores the fact that critics have looked at "The Sun Also Rises" for decades and many of them have come up with some interesting interpretations that challenge readers to think more deeply about what they have read.
From the Paper
"Many of Hemingway's characters exude masculinity and raw power, and this novel is no exception, as many critics have also noted. These are men who are strong, silent, and often deadly. They are not afraid of death, as their running with the bulls shows. One 1943 review said, "They act like people who have not fully grown up and who lack the self-awareness to realize this; in fact, they possess no desire to grow up" (Farrell 222). This anti-Semitism according to many critics and reviewers.s also quite in keeping with their masculinity, which does not necessarily denote maturity, as their running with the bulls in Pamplona also shows. Grown, mature men do not need to prove their masculinity by running from bulls, but young men still finding themselves certainly do, and critics recognized this."

"A Raisin in the Sun", 2006.
This paper reviews and analyzes Lorraine Hansberry's play "A Raisin in the Sun" while focusing on the symbolism of light and its significance on both the plot and the characters.

Abstract
This paper details the plot and main characters in Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" which focuses on an African-American family residing in Chicago. The writer analyzes the significance of light in Hansberry's work which makes its first appearance in the opening of the play when the sun shines in on the Younger's cramped apartment. The writer contends and explains the manner in which the light provides emotional nourishment to the protagonists as well as heartache and despair. This paper also looks at the symbolism of Mama's plant which although she knows will never fully grow and reach its ultimate potential she continues to care and nurture it, much in the same manner as she cares for her own family.
From the Paper
"The plant does not simply symbolize Ruth and Walter's inability to fully grow and flourish as a couple and a mother and a father in the apartment. It also has more personal symbolism. It symbolizes the dream of Mama to own her own home, a place of her own rather than the rented territory of others, with a cramped and small bathroom for five (and perhaps six, given Ruth's impending pregnancy) other people, all dreaming and yearning to break free. The plant is a more specific and powerful symbol, too, because it is a green and living thing. It underlines Mama's desire to have a garden and a yard. Clearly, Mama could make many things grow. If she made a plant grow in a terrible apartment, with little help, just as she and her husband helped her children Beneatha and Walter flourish with little help from society, think of what Mama could do with her own yard, full of sunshine and space."

Sun Tzu & Machiavelli, 2006.
A comparison and contrast between Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" and Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince".

Abstract
This essay compares Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" with Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince" and applies the principles of both works to the modern business environment. The paper asserts that although the writings were not intended to be applied to business leadership,these classic works are nonetheless timeless strategic guides for the ultimate success. The paper demonstrates how, in today's business world, many aspects can be applied in less dramatic and literal fashion while still having great significance. For example, the paper discusses how in "The Prince", Machiavelli suggests eliminating whole opposing families in order to reduce the threat of revenge. This philosophy has many applications in the business world without the literally executions. Likewise, the paper assesses Sun Tzu's work, which recommends removing the head of an insubordinate conscript to prove a point or to increase discipline. While the literal interpretation may have been acceptable in ancient China, other more symbolic interpretations are applicable to the business world today, argues the paper.
From the Paper
"Very little is known about the author of the Art of War but there has been much supposition and speculation. The book was thought to have been an instructional manual for potential generals in ancient China. The Art of War could also be considered as an instructional science of strategy document. The basic philosophy has become a Chinese mental martial art called bing-fa which because of the ambiguous nature of Chinese Hanja can be translated into literally 'competitive skills' or 'martial art'. The manual is a series of nine chapters which provide insights into how to address the challenges and how to mentally prepare for both leading others or a methodology for one's personal success. Because of the title and the militarily based examples, most believe that the sole purpose of the work was to teach how to fight battles. Modern interpretations and adaptations of the principles continue to help individuals create an internal and powerful system for success."

"The Sun Also Rises", 2005.
A look at how Ernest Hemingway portrays values and masculinity in his famous novel, "The Sun Also Rises".

Abstract
This paper compares Hemingway's portrayal of values and masculinity in "The Sun Also Rises" to two of his other famous works, ?Soldier?s Home? and ?The Snows of Kilimanjaro.? The paper first defines the code and hero's traits of masculinity and values as depicted in "The Sun Also Rises" and then, through analysis of characters and comparison of the three novels, demonstrates that we can see Hemingway's presentation of values in action and opposition.
From the Paper
"Prevalent among many of Ernest Hemingway's novels and short-stories is the concept popularly known as the ?code hero?, an ideal character readily accepted by readers as a working definition of the masculine role in a postwar society. In "The Sun Also Rises", the principal male characters are measured by the way in which they engage in some form of relationship with Lady Brett Ashley, a dominant female character whom Hemingway portrays in a style that many critics have, at the very least, called wary, and at the most, Hemingway?s presentation of a whore sainted by her ability to play the male role. ?Brett, a ?damn fine looking woman,? evokes gender androgyny and gender ambiguity both in physical appearance (her hair) and attire (her jersey)? (Elliot, 1995, p.
78). Brett plans to marry her fianc?e for financial reasons (as does Hemingway?s male hero in ?The Snows of Kilimanjaro?), and is often portrayed as toying with the other men in her life, by which, and through their patterned interactions with her, we can as readers
see the distinct qualities of manhood that make each character unique and dynamic."

From the Paper
"Research Paper: The Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter Bug This research paper will briefly describe the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (GWSS) of California. By providing a detailed description of the bug and its native habitat, one can realize the danger of this bug to various crops. In essence, the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter represents a thriving and charismatic insect, yet a danger to the crops that grow in its native Californian and Arizonian habitat. The unique colors and form of the Winged-Glassy Sharpshooter give hints as to why its name has been widely used. Although its formal name is Latin scientific name is Homalodisca coagulata, the glass-winged aspect of the bug's name relates more to the physical look of it shiny wings. The University of California describes the insect in detail: A large insect almost 1/2 inch (12 mm) long the glassy-winged sharpshooter is dark brown to black with a lighter underside. "

"That Evening Sun", 2002.

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of William Faulkner's "That Evening Sun". It discusses the unwillingness of southern Americans (represented by the Compsons) to help anyone that is different than they are. It also discusses the era of racism in Southern history. It also discusses the similarity between Faulkner's two books: "Faulkner in the University" and "That Evening Sun".
From the Paper
"William Faulkner?s ?That Evening Sun? is a short story published in 1931 in a short story collection by Faulkner called That 13. The story itself is partially about the about many things including: white indifference to black peoples during the ?Jim Crowe? era of the south, the terror that one black woman faces alone yet among people, a coming of age for the narrator realizing that the world in which he lives is neglectful, and a multitude of other topics. The plight of almost all the characters in the story revolves around a kind of acceptable bias that black fears are not as worthy of notice or as acceptable as white ones. This short fiction is really a story about the south and its customs and biases in the old school of racism. Though the end is never clearly written in the story, Faulkner is suggesting at the end that there could have been a better end for Nancy if only people had cared enough about a black washerwoman to take her concerns seriously and without regard to skin color or status."

"A Raisin in the Sun", 2007.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Lorraine Hansberry's play "A Raisin in the Sun" is considered by critics to be one of the strongest portrayals of the African-American nuclear family. It looks at how the implicit theme of "A Raisin in the Sun" is the impact of the family upon the actions of individual units, especially in relation to African-American families. It also examines how the social premise and moral conflicts of the play focuses on the pursuit of the Younger family to better their current situation. It analyzes the family through several different topics, including the impact of family experiences upon individual action, the impact of social influences upon the entire family, the impact of social and political factors upon the family, and finally, the gender roles that come in conflict within the nuclear family model.
From the Paper
"Common family experiences have a dramatic impact on the actions of each individual unit, and it unites the family in their pursuits. The Younger family is considered lower middle class; three generations occupy the nuclear model, with grandmother Lena at its head, Walter, Ruth and Beneatha as the second generation, and Travis as the youngest. The hardships endured by the family unit as a whole in their pursuit of survival binds them together. Lena and her husband worked tirelessly to raise their kids. Walter works extremely hard as a chauffeur in order to support his family, while Ruth has the full responsibility of handling the house and monitoring the family. It is the result of their persistent hardship that drives them to all yearn for change and greater social mobility (NPR, npg). "
