Abstract
This paper will examine the role of the Jesuits in American Catholic history. In a nation that is predominantly Protestant, the basis of much of the Jesuit activity has been in serving the immigrant Catholic communities from Ireland, Germany and Latin America. As will be seen, the Society of Jesus in the United States has reflected the metamorphic tendencies of the Jesuit order in general. However, in the late twentieth century American Jesuits began a process of disengagement or "dialogue" with the global Church and papal authority in general. The final outcome of this "dialogue" remains to be seen.

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of essays written by Howard Gardner ("Who Owns Intelligence?") and Jonathan Kozol ("The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society") on intelligence and literacy in American society today. The paper also contrasts the two essays.
From the Paper
"Kozol does not concern himself as much with "types" of intelligence, but rather, what the "lack" of literacy does to a person's self-worth, which in turn relates to how he or she perceives himself/herself and how the person is perceived by society: "Resisting the definition of oneself in terms of what one cannot do, what others take for granted, represents a need so great that other imperatives (even one so urgent as the need to keep one's home in winter's cold) evaporate and fall away in place of fear. Even the loss of home and shelter, in this case, is not so terrifying as the loss of self." (Kozol) One could logically assume that an illiterate would have lesser amounts of Gardner's eight intelligences, as literacy is required for each of them, in one respect or another."

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Abstract
The following thesis contains a review of the positive and negative ways in which the search for food has impacted social man. It begins with an examination of prehistoric man and follows him through Peking Man's development, the Neolithic era of farmers and herders, and the Era of Expansionism heralded by the search for salt and spices. This thesis examines man's resourcefulness when confronted by food shortages; lastly, it concludes with a discussion of Darwin's evolutionary theory to elucidate the role of food in man's powerful drive to survive and evolve.
From the Paper
"Beginning with prehistoric man, homo and femina sapiens needed to cooperate in order to be successful predators. The lions, wolves, and jackals they hunted and cooked were their main sustenance. During the Neolithic Era, man evolved into a super-animal who was no longer exclusively predatory; he was now a "settled farmer and stock breeder" (Tannahill, 1988) who could hunt, fish, gather, grow food, and domesticate animals.
Approximately two million years ago, as man continued to evolve, hominids, primates that were more like ape-like than man, developed into homo-erectus, primates who were able to stand erect and bore a more human than ape-like appearance (Stamps, 2000). Peking Man, the earliest, most well known representative of homo-erectus, was discovered in Beijing, China. Examination of the fossils of Peking Man indicate he was a hunter and cave dweller whose diet was mostly venison and other mammals. Most notably, Peking Man was able to control fire. Fire provided the caves with light and warmth but it also positively affected Peking Man's ability to prepare and enjoy food."

Abstract
This paper argues that Shakespeare wrote "Measure for Measure" as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom.
From the Paper
"Shakespeare?s England at the time that Measure for Measure was written was in a state of internal conflict and discord. King James I came to power in 1603 and inherited a kingdom rife with a myriad of social and cultural problems, including corruption in the justice system, religious disputes and crises, and rampant sexual immorality. Shakespeare, the ?King?s Playwright,? as Alvin Kernan dubs him, wrote Measure for Measure as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James, as a ruler with Divine Right and responsibility to his country, with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom."

Plato's Closed Society vs. Popper's Open Society, 2005.
An analysis of Karl Popper's views contrasted against Plato's views on the ideal form of government.
773 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how an open society, as Karl Popper defines it, at its core is simply envisioned as a civilization in which the government progresses based on criticism sparked by individuals and their thoughts. In comparison, it looks at how Popper believes that in Plato's closed society, change of leadership would more than likely involve violence and how Plato's viewpoints are a way for dictators to hold people back.
From the Paper
"In the non threatening environment of an open society, it is seen as likely for people to live peacefully, with the possibility of debates, but limiting them from developing into disputes. Popper backs this assertion up by saying, "[O]ne of the best sense of 'reason' is openness to criticism." As individuals discuss their ideals, progress is continual, with additions and alterations to social policy persisting; it is expected that this progress grants the authority to oust political leaders and their practices in a peaceful and intelligent manner. Bullying through violence and intimidation does not align itself with an open society."

America as a Multinational Society, 2006.
An explanation of the difference between a multinational society and a multi-ethnic society and why this difference is significant to the United States.
3,186 words (approx. 12.7 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 92.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the U.S., rather than being a multinational society, is a multi-ethnic and multicultural society. The paper further explains that the multi-ethnic characteristic of the United States that has long been a source of strength for America is also a source of many of the problems the country faces today. The paper goes on to elaborate on the problems that excessive multiculturalism is creating for the U.S. and concludes that, while the U.S. should continue to be a haven for those seeking a better life, the country must also make greater efforts to assimilate new arrivals into the mainstream of educational and employment opportunities, as failure to do so may result in incalculable damage to the very foundation of the nation.
From the Paper
"A multinational society is a society in which the population consists of two or more ethnically distinct nations that are of significant size. This contrasts with a nation-state where a single nation comprises the bulk of the population. Some examples of multinational societies include: Belgium, Canada, India, Indonesia, South Africa and Switzerland. Multinational states differ from states like Japan, Poland or the Koreas in which an overwhelming majority of the population is ethnically homogenous. Multiethnic societies, in contrast to nationalistic societies, integrate different ethnic groups irrespective of differences in culture, race, and history under a common social identity larger than one "nation" in the conventional sense."

Role of Women in the Wake of Globalization and Liberalization
Cultural Impact of Globalization
From the Paper
"The Arab world has long been the source of oil and natural gas to the entire world. In being so the emirate has thrived for long as a world leader and a conglomerate of oil rich nations. Globalization has on its part been a source of extensive influence in many different spheres; economically, socially, politically, culturally or militarily. Largely a desert dominated topography, the nations of the United Arab Emirates have thrived on oil and energy related foreign trade that has bolstered their economic and political status across the globe and has placed them on par with superpowers of the world as in the likes of the United States, The United Kingdom, and The European Union and so on. The vast and untapped potential hidden in the expanses of the desert hemisphere has long been the focal point of observation and interest of many a western nation who wanted to play a dominant role in exerting its presence in the region."

The African-American Society, 2008.
This paper discusses the importance of race and color within the socio-political context of African-American societies in the United States.
830 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that the role that race and color play in the socio-political context of African-American societies in the United States stems from historical factors, which have left deep cultural trauma. The author points out that some theorists stress that slavery was a key issue in the formation of African-American identity. The paper underscores that even the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments did not lead to true equality. The paper relates that African Americans continued to be treated as second class citizens and restricted to so-called separate but equal facilities that were never truly equal. The author states that, even today, African Americans are usually less well educated and poorer than their white counterparts; thereby indicating the role of race in the socio-political context of African-American societies.
From the Paper
"Throughout American history, black/white tensions have impacted socio-political events. For example, many African-Americans protested about fighting in the Second World War, given that they faced discrimination in their home country. Tensions have continued to be expressed, by, for example, the Double V Movement, the March on Washington Movement, the Black Panther movement, the activism of Martin Luther King Jr. and his subsequent assassination, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the Council on African Affairs and the Congress of Racial Equality."
