Abstract
This paper aims to inform the reader, as expeditiously as possible, what was done, the outcome of the doing, and the investigator's conclusion, in the paper by Kordupleski, Rust, and Zahorik. The remainder of this review analyzes a particular professional article wherein a marketing concept was presented and evaluated, namely quality programs and process improvement techniques.
From the Paper
"presented and evaluated, namely quality programs and process improvement techniques.
When a manuscript is presented to the public or professional audience the first words a reader is drawn are those in the title of the article or report. Depending on what is included in the title will oftentimes determine whether or not a potential reader will read all that is contained in the manuscript. To this end the author or authors of a research report must, in the beginning, clearly define those concepts contained in the manuscript title. The authors claimed, by way of title, that the reporting of their information would be in the area of "quality" in marketing. Sometimes, however, a "catchy" title can become a significant enticement to spur the reader to read a manuscript regardless of how well or how poorly an article is written. Setting this aside, the thoroughness of overall content presentation is the most pivotal criteria for evaluating a professional journal article."

Abstract
This paper examines the book, ?It Can?t Happen Here?, by Sinclair Lewis, which describes what would happen if America voted in a dictator such as Stalin or Hitler to ?save the day ? and how it strongly warns today?s readers what could occur if civil society does not stay watchful. It looks at how the story revolves around Doremus Jessup, a moderate 60-year-old Republican and editor of a small-town newspaper in Vermont.
From the Paper
"Jessup tries his best to handle the new regime and its censorship. One of his failings is not using the newspaper as a means to lambaste the higher Corpo echelon. Instead, he is more concerned with the local fascist Shad Ledue, an alcoholic handyman who had climbed the ladder to top of the local New England Corpos. Because of his anti-government actions, Jessup is sent to a detention camp and tortured. The government kills his son-in-law, and one daughter sacrifices herself to assassinate a political leader and the other is nearly raped by a fascist."

Abstract
This report reviews Harold S. Kushner's "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People" and provides a positive view by the paper's author. The essay includes examples from Jewish history.
From the Paper
"It would be so much easier to live in a world where God punishes the evil and rewards the good; a world where everybody knows only good things will happen to them if they follow God's commandments and calamity will be visited only upon those who do not. However, that type of world would eliminate the freedom to make choices between good and evil. People who chose to be good because they will be rewarded are no better than trained dogs performing for treats. The choice is meaningless."

?When Bad Things Happen to Good People?, 2002.
Discusses this reflective book by New York Rabbi Howard Kushner.
1,061 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Howard Kushner, the author of "When Bad Things Happen to Good People", is a rabbi, but as he notes in his introduction, his book is not intended as an abstract theological discussion or even as something confined to only one religious point of view. The paper shows that, prompted by his infant son's illness, Kushner set out to write the book to find answers to his questions. It shows that the issue he raises in the title is an ancient problem--since God is all-powerful, why does He allow the suffering we see all around us? Why do these things happen to people who are good, who accept God, and who follow his ways?
From the Paper
"One interesting issue he raises is that children who lose a parent often blame themselves, as if they must have done something wrong. They need reassurance that they did not and that the death was not their fault. In a real sense, we all face the same issues and need to be reassured that when something bad happens, it is not our fault. How we react to our troubles, on the other hand, may be a matter of fault. We need to understand our grief and sorrow and work through it, and religion and God can help greatly in this process. If we let our troubles crush us, however, we would be at fault for doing so. Our troubles may not have a rational reason, but we must apply reason in order to overcome the effects."

Why the Holocaust Happened in Germany, 2007.
This paper explores the idea that the Holocaust was not an exclusive event chosen by the German people due to their hatred of Jews.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Raul Hilberg and Christopher Browning's understanding of how the Holocaust happened. The paper discusses their claim that the Holocaust was not an exclusive event chosen by the German people due to their hatred for Jews, but was due to a combination of factors including the administrative smoothness of the operation, the impersonal quality of the killing and the belief that it had to do with the frailty of human beings in general. The paper concludes by refuting the argument presented by Daniel Goldhagen that the Holocaust was an exclusively German event. The paper uses MLA style footnotes but does not append a bibliography.
From the Paper
"The pivotal question to the debate on the Holocaust is whether it could have happened only in Germany by ethnically German people, or whether it was a set of various factors that would produce the same results regardless of the ethnicity of the people. Hilberg argues that being German was irrelevant, and that such a thing could happen in any society even today. The Holocaust was not executed by the German people because of some deep-seeded German hatred for Jews, but instead was able to occur due to the vast German bureaucratic system. The "final solution" did not consist of a single department staffed with specialists in destruction, but instead it was a multi-pronged operation of a highly decentralized apparatus, which included all parts of German society, its ministries, armed forces, party formations, and industry."

Greyhound Transport: What Happened after September 11?, 2002.
An overview of the inexpensive services that Greyhound has to offer and suggestions on ways it can improve its service given new security concerns.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper summarizes the services of the American Greyhound Bus Service which is a part of the travel services industry, providing intercity travel within the United States as well as travel packages and mail services. The paper discusses what has happened to the company since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, citing positive aspects such as safety since people are feeling less safe in the air and more safe on the roads.
From the Paper
"In regards to the environment, Greyhound reports that one Greyhound bus takes 17 cars off the road and achieves 162 passenger miles per gallon of fuel. (Greyhound Facts & Figures) The main issue effecting Greyhound is how the events of September 11 impact upon it. Since September 11 there is a new fear of flying. This is likely to increase the number of people choosing bus travel over air travel. It also means that many people in the United States will choose holidays within the United States instead of overseas travel. The downside is that there will be less overseas visitors travelling within the United States. It has already been noted however, that the majority of Greyhound customers are Americans travelling to visit family and friends. Overall then, we would expect demand for bus travel to increase. This brings with it both opportunities and problems.
This is a changing environment for Greyhound. This report will focus on how Greyhound can respond to these changes and specifically how the problems they create can be predicted so that the opportunities presented can be fully utilized. Five of these problems will now be discussed in turn."

Review of "When Bad Things Happen to Good People", 2002.
A review of Rabbi Harold Kushner's famous book about the causes of and reasons for human suffering.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper follows Rabbi Kushner's grieving process after the death of his 14-year-old son. It also critically examines the questions he asks of God and the conclusions he ultimately reaches. Kushner and many of the people he came into contact with in his service had difficulty understanding why they were forced to suffer, despite living their lives as God wanted them to. Much of the paper deals with a famous paradox of God: Since evil exists, God cannot be all-good and all-powerful.
From the Paper
"Harold S. Kushner?s book ?When Bad Things Happen to Good People? confronts the ancient theological question posed in its title reasonably, profoundly, and with deep, genuine compassion. It is an often painful, difficult, but ultimately inspiring study of the human condition and the suffering that invariably accompanies it. Kushner, a rabbi, was moved to write when he and his wife lost their son, Aaron, to a rare disease called progeria at the age of 14. He, like many other people who experience such a tragedy, went through a range of complicated emotions, including sadness, guilt, and anger. Considering himself a good person and devout follower of God and Judaism, he wondered why God, whom he had devoted his life to serving, would afflict him with such enormous pain. While this experience alone qualifies Kushner to write this book, there are two other areas of experience which make this book immeasurably valuable to the reader and make Kushner the ideal author for the book."

From the Paper
"When our teachers give us notes or facts we just accept them, we never think to question their veracity. It would never occur to a student that a teacher might be trying to brainwash his/her students. After all, why would a teacher want to give us the wrong information? In all seriousness, who is to say that E = MC ? Is the world really round? How do we know that it is not just one huge conspiracy? Like the majority of characters in 1984, we do not know if we are indeed being brainwashed. "

"When Bad Things Happen to Good People" by Harold Kushner, 2002.

Abstract
Discusses issue raised by Kushner as to why an all-powerful God allows suffering. Book's premise is that although the author believes in God, he has been forced by personal tragedies to rethink everything he learned about God. Discusses story of Job. Kushner contends that even when hard times strike, one should not give up faith in God, and that the victim should not be blamed for his fate.
From the Paper
"Howard Kushner, the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, is a rabbi in New York, but as he notes in his introduction, his book is not intended as an abstract theological discussion or even as something confined to only one religious point of view. The author states at the outset that he "believes in god and in the goodness of the world" (1) but that he has been forced by tragedies faced in his own life "to rethink everything he had been taught about God and God's ways" (1). The issue he raises in the title is an ancient problem--since God is all-powerful, why does He allow the suffering we see all around us? Why do these things happen to people who are good, who accept God, and who follow his ways?
The specific impetus for the writing of this book was the fact that the author's three-year-old son, Aaron, was diagnosed..."

Protection of Endangered Species, 2006.
A look at how the human population is endangering the lives of numerous plant and animal species and what will happen if we don't protect those endangered species.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Endangered Species are plants and animals that will be extinct soon and will possibly be never seen again in life. The reason why endangered species and habitats become extinct are primarily a result of an overpopulation of human beings who force the plants and animals out of their natural habitat, leaving them little room to grow or reproduce. This leads to scarcity and, eventually, extinction. This paper discusses how humans are threatening the natural habitat of animals and plants and the ultimate consequence of that threat.
From the Paper
"In other words, many goods and services from other countries are being exported to the United States in order to gather revenue for that country. Whether the products are fish or furniture--even if that countries ecosystem is in jeopardy--the wealth continues to flourish in order to keep the humans living. Another example, "In Florida, exotic plants, such as hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata), water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), and water lettuce (Pistia straiotes), are altering fish and other aquatic animal species, choking waterways, altering nutrient cycles, and reducing recreational use of rivers and lakes" (Liebold 4)."

Russia and Europe, 2005.
This paper discusses that Russia will never become an integral part of Europe.
1,810 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, after the collapse of the once all-powerful communist system in the Soviet Union in 1991, the natural progression seemed to be the prompt absorption of Russia into Europe; however, despite Russia's attempt to adopt a central government, the enlargement of negotiations with the European Union and the fact that most Russians want this integration, it hasn't happened. The author points out that geography is a major reason because (1) Russia, the world's largest country and more than twice the size of the entire continent of Europe, is seen by the European countries to be overpowering and (2) the border countries of eastern Europe--Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Poland-are now strongly anti-communist. The paper contends that the most important reason that this merger has not yet happened is because of (1) the difference in normative values, including psychological characteristics, behavioral patterns and cultural orientations, and of (2) Europe's remaining conception of Russia as an intimidating military "superpower".
From the Paper
"The security issue is two-fold, as well. In fact, there is a growing apprehension in Russia that Europe may come to dominate Russia economically, and may exclude it from the life of Europe and deny Russia access to Eastern Europe and former parts of the USSR, and that a new "encirclement of the Motherland" may start forming. These worries are not limited to the extremist camp and are spreading through the entire establishment of the Russian Federation. Many believe that this will lead to a new division of the continent, which is dangerous to peace and Russian development."

Each candidate is still scrambling to get the 270 Electoral votes needed to win. But, if Gore has the most votes, why is there still a race? What are these Electoral votes? When our Founding Fathers were setting the policies for the elections, there was a debate. Some said the election of the President should come directly from the people; others said the people could not handle the responsibility, and Congress should do it. They compromised, and came up with the Electoral College. A couple hundred years later, the Electoral College is still in use, and there is support and opposition for it."

Abstract
This paper reviews Louis Gerstner's book "Who Says Elephants Can't Dance?" In particular, the paper highlights Gerster's management of IBM as CEO, and the changes he has made during his tenure. The most salient change according to the book has been how IBM makes the customer the center of as many strategies, initiatives and activities as possible. Throughout the book Gerstner uses many examples to show why competitive analysis and instilling ownership to employees, and not tolerating complacency are critical to turning around a corporation and making it more market-driven. This is what Gerstner did with IBM.
Our Primary Measures of Success are Customer Satisfaction and
Shareholder Value
We Never Lose Sight of our Strategic Vision
Outstanding, Dedicated People make it Happen, particularly when they Work Together as a Team
We are Sensitive to the Needs of all Employees and to the Communities in which we Operate
We Operate as an Entrepreneurial Organization with a Minimum of
Bureaucracy and a Never-ending Focus on our Customer and our
Productivity
We Think and Act with a Sense of Urgency
From the Paper
"Further, Mr. Gerstner's book offers insight into how our company can bring about the change needed to achieve long-term competitive advantages through a series of six principles he has actually tested and verified through his management experience at IBM. What makes the key points from Gerstner's book so valuable is that they are far from the theoretical; they are from real-world experiences the CEO and author has experienced in transforming what had been a massive organization resting on its past successes, complacent to live off its license revenues, into a market-driven and highly aggressive force in many areas today including Web Services and business processing outsourcing with the acquisition of Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) earlier in the decade. From these many transformation processes successfully accomplished in IBM, Mr. Gerstner has outlined six principles that can help our corporation bring about our success. "
