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.

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.

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "Something New Under the Sun" by J.R McNeill, in which he provides a detailed environmental history of the twentieth century. The paper discusses the theories put forward in the book and suggests that what is different under the sun is the relationship between human beings and the environment.
From the Paper
"What's New Under the Sun? In Something New Under the Sun J.R. McNeill provides a detailed environmental history of the twentieth century. With this title McNeill seems to be suggesting that something brand new has appeared on the earth. The question that must be asked about this book is what is new under the sun? Is it atomic energy? Genetically engineered organisms? Or maybe solar power? The answer is actually far more complicated. McNeill is not suggesting that a single object, processes or technology in the twentieth century was so new and revolutionary that it has fundamentally changed the world."

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). "

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the film, "A Place in the Sun," directed by George Stevens. Specifically, it discusses George's character development in the film. "A Place in the Sun" is the story of George Eastman, a lower-class man with high ideals. He wants to be rich and successful, and the film follows his rise and eventual downfall from what he aspires to. It looks at how, outwardly, George changes tremendously during the film, since he goes from "rags to riches" and learns how the upper classes live. He becomes one of them. However, it also shows how, inside, George does not change much at all. He is selfish and self-serving, lonely, and determined to better himself throughout the film, and he allows his heart to rule over his head and common sense.
From the Paper
"As George begins to socialize with the Eastmans, he becomes surer of himself, and when he is promoted this also helps him feel better about himself. He begins to leave Alice and her world behind, but he is not adult enough to tell her. This is another way George does not change throughout the film. He wants to be successful and make a good life for himself, but he is not adult enough to cope with the many changes in his life. He takes up with Alice by chance, even when he knows it is forbidden. He cannot say "no," and in this, he is very childish. His decision to not tell Alice he is in love with Angela is also childish, and his idea to kill Alice to rectify the situation is childish, too."

'A Raisin in the Sun', 2006.

Abstract
This paper reviews the play 'A Raisin in the Sun', by Lorraine Hansberry. According to the paper, 'A Raisin in the Sun' is about the dreams that people have. More specifically, it is about the dreams of people who do not have the opportunity to pursue those dreams. The paper reports how the main theme of the play is deciding what to do with a large sum of money that is won by one of the characters.
From the Paper
"He then describes the life his son will have. This description is partly about material possessions like their house with a gardener and a black Chrysler. However, Walter also describes how his son will be able to go to any school that he wants to and that his son will be able to be anything that he wants to be. As Walter says, "Just tell me, what it is you want to be--and you'll be it" (Hansberry 94). This shows that Walter's dream is linked to his desire for his son to be proud of him and for his son to have opportunities in life. Mama's dream is not to change as much as the others. Instead, she just wants her family to live in a safe neighborhood and have a home they can be proud of. The interesting thing about all of these dreams is that they are all worthwhile. All three of the characters have valuable uses for the money and want to use it to better their own futures. "

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."

"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."

"The Sun also Rises" --An Analysis, 2007.

Abstract
This paper examines Ernest Hemingway's novel, "The Sun also Rises," as an anti-war statement. The reviewer describes the novel as one of the major works that defines the "Lost Generation" of post-World War I. The novel showcases the continued casualties of war and implies that no conflict is worth the loss of humanity. The characters are analyzed in terms of what they represent as a result of the war. The reviewer concludes that the miserable state of the characters' lives in "The Sun Also Rises" shows that Hemingway's intention was to present anti-war material.
From the Paper
"The main character of Jake Barnes can be viewed as representative of the Lost Generation. A veteran of war, he has trouble dealing, both psychologically and physically, with what he witnessed and experienced during the war. His impotence reflects not only his physical injury, but also his inability to reconcile his growing feelings of emptiness. He is acutely aware of the moral vacuum that the war has created for his generation, and he is sunk deeply into that world. He has an acute sense of what is happening among the people around him, but he does not spend much time in introspection because of the pain it causes. Though he moves from place to place, he is acutely aware that, "You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another." He is trapped between knowing and understanding the problems that the world is facing and that the War has created for his generation, but he is far too close to the problem to do anything about it. His own injury from the War and from the unrequited love he has for Lady Brett keep him deeply mired in the psychological fallout that the First World War has brought on his generation. "

"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."

"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, 2005.
This paper discusses how the sun is able to produce visible light.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the nature of the sun, the nature of light and how they are connected. The author points out that the connection lies in nuclear fusion, the process in the core of the sun by which incredible amounts of energy are produced during the fusion of hydrogen into helium. The paper relates that this energy exists across the EM spectrum, some of which is visible light.
From the Paper
"The process by which the sun produces visible light is truly one of the most awe-inspiring processes in the universe and is directly responsible for all life on this planet. Light itself is a form of electromagnetic radiation that the sun produces through the principle of incandescence - essentially because it's very hot (Introduction to light, 2003). But of course, the production of light is a much more complex process than just because it heats up. The process by which the sun produces light is connected to nuclear fusion and Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2."
