Abstract
This paper presents an understanding of certain musical genres. The research includes various examples of formats such as rap, techno, disco, and other musical outreaches. By examining the likes of these various genres, we gain an insight into society's trends at the time the particular musical style was most popular. For example, the foundation of rock was strongly influenced by the Vietnam war, 'free love,' and a drug experimentation era. The paper shows that disco, rap, and techno are no exceptions. There were cultural situations that greatly increased the chances of these styles' success.
From the Paper
"The entire movement revolved around a new way to dress, dance, talk and even walk. "The way they danced, dressed, walked, and talked was unique, as opposed to most of the disco artists and fans of the time, which were not as in touch with the urban streets of America." (Blow, Kurtis) Hip-hop represented the new generation of blacks suffering in urban poverty. The passion and truth generated were really cries for help and today those cries are being answered by middle class whites all trying to be as cool as the original B-Boys."

Abstract
This paper explains that the roots of the belief in a glorious kingdom, which is part natural and part supernatural, are found in the hopes of the Jews for a temporal Messiah and in the Jewish apocalyptic. The author explains that, for thousands of years, legendary leaders such as King Solomon, the Egyptian pharaohs and Napoleon Bonaparte, have fought over Megiddo, called Armageddon in the New Testament, located in modern day Israel, and where the Bible says the end of the world will occur. The paper describes the grey goo scenario, first posed by Eric Drexler in his book on nanotechnology, "Engines of Creation", in which he describes how small nano-scale robots built to replicate themselves using any organic material, self-replicating nanobots, which eventually cover the world with grey sludge competing for the remainder of the planet's resources with microscopic earth munching robot swarms.
From the Paper
"The Christian faith is one such religion that is based on the day of judgement. There are dozens of references in the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible that concern the end of the world. It is called by many phrases such as the "Day of the Lord," "the Day of the Son," "The Last Day," "The Day of the Son of Man," or the "Second Coming". For Christians this means that Christ will return to gather the just and annihilate the evil, and to found a glorious kingdom on earth filled with the highest spiritual and material blessings. All the saints will participate in this event and Christ is said to reign for one thousand years."

Abstract
This paper explains that Tom Clancy's "Hunt for Red October"
is first and foremost an exciting story in the 'techno-thriller' genre, focusing on the revolutionary submarine 'Red October' and the high-tech military confrontations brought about by the planned defection of its commander and his officers; however, beyond this level it is a patriotic, flag-waving book with its feet firmly set on the western U.S.side of the Cold War. The author points out that the depiction of the Soviet Union is straightforward -- 'the evil empire' -- representing the U.S.S.R. simultaneously as backward, primitive and inefficient and as technologically-advanced, all-powerful and threatening. The paper states that the message is clear; whatever the ideological basis of the conflict between western freedom and eastern tyranny, the final argument for the superiority of the west lays in its promise of comfort, wealth and limitless entertainment.
From the Paper
"The fact that Ramius is a Lithuanian gives Clancy the opportunity to enlarge on the unhappy relationship between the Lithuanians and their Soviet masters. Its is clear throughout the book that the relationship between the Soviet Union and her allies is that of imperial power and subject peoples - and, furthermore, that it is full of resentment and mistrust. Petrov, medical officer on the 'Red October', 'didn't trust the [East] Germans, Marxists or not' (158); Cuba is seen as by the enlisted men as a paradise of beaches and beautiful women, but Ramius and the other officers know differently and regard the 'fraternal socialist comrades' on the 'beautiful island of Cuba' with contempt (25); the Poles are suspected of tricking their Soviet 'allies' (314-5). On the western side, the relationship between the United States and her chief ally, Great Britain, is very different."
