"THE BREAK-UP OF AT&T IN 1981
Prior to the break up of AT&T, the telecommunications industry in the United States consisted of AT&T (the Bell System), and ?many franchised, independent telephone companies? (Seelman, 1984, p. 16). Although franchised and independent telephone companies were in the telecommunications market in the United States prior to the break-up of AT&T, the Bell System controlled in excess of 80 percent of the telecommunications market.
The dominance of the existing telecommunications market in the United States by AT&T provided a central motivation for the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department to pursue the action to force divestiture on AT&T. The rapidly developing changes in the telecommunications environment provided a second strong motivation.."

Abstract
This paper is a case study of AT&T as the company goes through its third breakup in twenty years, announcing in 2000 that it would affect a breakup of its business into different units. The paper explains that this restructuring would create separate wireless, broadband, business long distance and consumer long distance companies. The paper shows how this restructuring mirrored the breakup of the Bell telephone company that produced AT&T and several other companies in the first place.
From the Paper
"AT&T announced in 2000 a breakup of its business into different units, a restructuring that would create separate wireless, broadband, business long distance, and consumer long distance companies. This restructuring mirrored the breakup of the Bell telephone company that produced AT&T and several other companies in the first place. This would be the third time in two decades that the company had been forced to split into separate entities. The company was also prepared to sell off its non-strategic assets. The intent was to emerge a learner company with a clearer core business mission. Technological innovation was clearly a goal for AT&T during most of its history and the company developed a large number of new products for use in homes, offices and other sites to give the consumer access to the latest in telephonic capabilities."

Abstract
This paper argues that of the three causes of the Soviet breakup that have been offered, political, economic, and ethnic, the economic solution is the true one and crosses over the other two. The paper notes that 70 years of Socialist government had damaged the ability of the Soviet Union even to feed her population, let alone to cope with the many economic issues she had to face, especially with political decisions for increased spending on security and to counter the West, decisions which increased the amount of money that had to be spent each year.

From the Paper
"In the 1990s central and eastern Europe were transformed by the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, and the reunification of Germany. As communist governments collapsed across the region many social determinants, long suppressed by communism, regained their power to shape the lives of peoples in the region. This essay will focus on the roles of two such determinants - nationalism and, to a lesser degree, economics - in the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s."

Steven Spielberg's ?Indian Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark? (1981), 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that not only are there actual symbols present in Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones" trilogy, especially "Raiders of the Lost Ark", such as Indiana's most feared enemy, the snake, but also the movies themselves serve as a symbol of American pop through the Hollywood's glorification and stylization. The author points out the symbolism in the main character Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, who is a young, powerful educated man, coming from a civilized background with a catchy nickname "Indy", which all heroes must, and dressed in his classic American archaeologist attire of leather jacket and bullwhip. The paper concludes that the Indiana Jones trilogy continues to be an incredible success because it is so easy for the American population to relate to Indy, a hero who never failed, and because it reflects American pop culture of adventure, power and heroism.
From the Paper
"It is very possible for even one trailer that is a mere one minute and fifty seconds long, to encompass so many different symbols, that have significance all throughout the movie. The clip that portrays the most symbolism in the shortest amount of time is definitely the part of the movie when Indiana Jones finds himself fighting a town full of Arabs in the middle of a marketplace in Cairo, all in order to rescue Marion. First and foremost, this entire sequence is filmed to fully capture the role of having a damsel in distress, as Indy is fighting in attempt to save Marion. Secondly, a very apparent form of symbolism appears in the background of the shot, where the entire marketplace is full of Arabs who are all wearing turbans and sandals, a very stereotypical image of the people of the eastern culture living in that region. The most noticeable glorification of the American culture becomes very evident when Indy is facing a large Arab man with a sword, who is prepared to fight him."

From the Paper
"AT&T (formerly American Telephone and Telegraph) is the world's largest telecommunications company providing services, products and systems to consumers, businesses, governments and other telecommunication companies. At one time, AT&T had the broadest, most advanced communications network in the world, and created Bell Labs, a premier manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. In 1984, AT&T was forced to divest into separate businesses; the company rebuilt its business to include long distance, computers and manufacturing. In late 1995, the company announced that it would divest into three separate companies along its business unit lines. This research examines the conditions which led to the 1984 breakup, and whether that divestiture benefited the American public."

Abstract
The paper discusses the relationship between Poland and the Soviet Union at the time. It explains that Poland implemented martial law in order to avert a Soviet-led invasion.
From the Paper
"Jaruzelski did not try to justify his actions in 1981 beyond asserting the need to protect Poland, but he has spoken on the subject more recently. The Communist Party's monopoly of power was threatened by the rise of Solidarity, and Jaruzelski knew that the Soviet Union had not hesitated to use force to suppress an anti?Communist uprising in Hungary in 1956 and had done so again against the liberal "Prague Spring" in 1968."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the issue of stress and anxiety that is linked to relationship betrayal and breakdown poses a particular challenge to contemporary psychological and relationship counseling. The paper presents an overview of the problem of infidelity and relationship breakdown mainly in the context of modern developed countries like the Unites States - while reference is also made to the permutations of the problem in other countries in the world. The central focus of this paper, however, is on the way that stress and anxiety can be dealt with in the two gender groups. This refers to the differences and similarities in the way that stress and anxiety is experienced by men and women; and the way that they cope with the trauma of divorce and infidelity. The last section of the paper deals with counseling strategies and methods of dealing with this issue, as well as some theoretical stances and trajectories that has been found to be useful in this regard.

From the Paper
" The above view underlines a cardinal aspect of the way that divorce in particular, as well as other forms of relationship breakdown, negatively influences a wide circle of people. The effect that relationship breakdown has on the family and on children is a significant factor in determining the extent of the problem, in that these aspects can add to and increase stress and anxiety. In other words, in the assessment of the extent and range of the effects of marital breakdown, the other individuals who are affected beside the man and woman, tend to contribute to the overall situation and to the stress and anxiety factors. For example, children may become disruptive as result of the stress of the relationship conflict, which in turn leads to an increase in the problematics of the situation."

Abstract
This paper relates that one of the most enduring questions regarding life, love, and the perpetuation of the growth of the individual through developed interpersonal communication, is whether or not there can be friendship after a romantic relationship has ended. This paper asserts that popular contemporary opinion, as well as anecdotal evidence, has a mixed answer. One side says a couple can never go from being lovers to friends and it's unhealthy to try. While still others say that becoming friends is the only realistic way to recover, in the long term and learn from what went right wrong in the relationship. However, the paper shows that there is also a popular idea that becoming friends after a breakup just depends on the individuals involved, the depth of the relationship, and the manner in which the relationship ended. This work reviews five scholarly research articles seeking out definitive qualitative and quantitative evidence for the answer to this question.
From the Paper
"The findings of the article lead some credence to the idea that the individual's level of distress post break-up and the eventuality of the relationship ending in the two people being friends has significant correlation to the length of time since the break-up, the level of health in the relationship, the perception of individual investment in the relationship and most importantly whether the two individuals were friends before they became romantically involved. The hints then that this work offer to the broader question is then relatively easy to assess, the most important factors in order are, if the individuals were friends before the romantic involvement, the time it has been since the relationship ended, and lastly the level of overall health and satisfaction that existed in the relationship while it was still intact. (Sprecher, Felmlee, Metts, Fehr & Vanni 791-809) The equation is then rather simple, if there is a basis for friendship, a healthy overall relationship and if enough time has passed there is a good chance that a post-relationship friendship will develop that could potentially lead to a lasting social development phase that helps both parties navigate the rights and wrongs of the relationship and possibly change themselves for the better, for the next relationship. The equation is the opposite, if it is to soon emotionally, the relationship was overall unhealthy and lastly if the two people have little if any basis for a friendship in the history of their time together then a friendship will not likely be even worth attempting. (Sprecher, Felmlee, Metts, Fehr & Vanni 791-809)"

From the Paper
"This study will examine, briefly, the events which led up to the 1952 Revolution in Egypt, and will then more extensively explore the social, political and economic development of Egypt from 1952, through the Nasser era, and up to the time of the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981.
As the Lacoutres write, "Early in the summer of 1952 Egypt was oozing revolution from every pore . . . . While in the course of 1951 forty-nine strikes had shown the extent of social unrest, the patient Egyptian peasantry had in turn become restive . . . Finally, "The king vanquished the Wafd [intellectual bourgeoisie] on the afternoon of January 26th [1952]. But this was at the price of his crown. He lost the halo of invulnerability which surrounded the palace; he had shaken the pillars of power represented by the army, the police, the royal Cabinet, and the unity..."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the study by Felmlee, Diane; Sprecher, Susan; and Bassin, Edward called "The Dissolution of Intimate Relationships: A Hazard Model" published in the Social Psychology Quarterly: 1990. It discusses the results and the psychological effects on the determinants after an end to an intimate relationship.
From the Paper
"Relationship breakups are one of those things in life that no one wants to experience, and when it does happen, the memory of it stays with us forever. Maybe if there was no possibility of a break-up, people would not be so afraid to enter a serious relationship; but break-ups happen and there are actually several factors that may determine the outcome of a relationship: love, self-disclosure, comparison level within the dyad, comparison level of alternatives, sexual nature of the relationship, length of relationship, time spent together, social network influences, etc."
