Abstract
This paper discusses the Indian leader, Tecumseh, and his goal of uniting the Indian tribes into a powerful Indian nation capable of ending American expansion westwards. The paper discusses how the focus of American policy makers, on Canada and Royal Navy seizure of American sailors on the high seas on the eve of the War of 1812, prevented most of them from realizing that the Indian tribes on the frontier were the greatest threat to future American expansion.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, the potential path of the United States in regard to this Indian Nation may have been similar to how we dealt with Spanish Florida, or it may have resembled our approach to dealing with British Canada, or it may have been patterned after our policies in the Mexican Southwest. Spanish Florida had been incorporated into the United States through treaty and purchase, British Canada had not been acquired at all, and the Mexican Southwest had been taken by winning the Mexican War and demanding territorial concessions."
"In dealing with Tecumseh's tribal nation, the United States would have had the option in coming decades of expanding through brute military force as it had against Mexico, of seeking new territorial acquisitions through treaty negotiations and purchase agreements with Tecumseh as had been the case with Spanish Florida, or of conceding that expansion would be stopped, as had been the case with British Canada. Which option would have ultimately been pursued would have depended primarily upon Tecumseh's ability to keep the tribes united under his leadership."

Abstract
This paper looks briefly at the writings of third century bishop Cyprian of Carthage who wrote extensively on what he saw was the most important issue of the day. The paper explains that this was the unity of the Church at that time. The paper provides a brief biography of his life and relevant details of his career and then examines the issues of lapsed Christians, Episcopal schisms and Biblical evidence of Unity.
From the Paper
"The treatise entitled "De Unitate Ecclesiae," or "On the Unity of the Catholic Church," by Cyprian of Carthage is an important piece of Church history, and documents a particular problem in the early Church and the ways in which it was handled (Fitzgerald). The document reflects both the life and important issues to Cyprian, but also the dire matters of the Church that had the potential to forever affect Christianity as we know it. In order to understand this document, one must also learn about Cyprian and vice-versa. Saint Cyprian, martyr and Bishop of Carthage, in Africa, in the third century AD, converted to Christianity in the year 245 or 246, at age 47 and he became bishop only 2 years after his conversion (Giles 49)."

Unity of State, 2007.
This paper explores Plato's concept of the unity of state.
2,484 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how in Book IV of Plato's Laws, the Athenian Stranger gives his views for the requirement of the unity of state. The paper shows how the description of the state corresponds to an isolated state, where everyone is governed by strict laws. The paper explains that the civil society proposed by the stranger is a society consisting of classes where there is no diversity and no desire to improve the lot of the city or individual. The paper maintains that Plato's desire to create unity of state could be a recipe for disaster for the state due to the high risk of groupthink, when the group's desire to be united overrides their desire to carefully consider a variety of options.
From the Paper
"The Athenian recommends locating the city away from the sea shores to isolate the people from any contact with outsiders, finds virtue in just meeting the requirements of life and not generating enough to consider exporting to become rich. He thinks that residents should be of single race and religion to prevent internal strife religion. These are the characteristics of a highly controlled state."

Abstract
This paper illustrating Poe's doctrine that in order to have unity in nature, everything must have two equal yet separate divisions. It examines the opposing forces of human nature that each character possesses in the story and the characteristics of the house, narrator, Roderick and Madeline.
From the Paper
?The Fall of the House of Usher? illustrates Poe?s doctrine that in order to have unity in nature, everything must maintain two equal yet separate divisions. Without both parts operating on an equal basis simultaneously one will overflow into the other and the balance will be lost resulting in an outcome usually for the worse. This is especially true in human nature and today most people can refer to it as the ?Ying? and the ?Yang.? Every detail of this story, from the opening description of the dank tarn and the dark rooms of the house to the unearthly storm which accompanies Madeline?s return from the tomb helps convey the unbalancing of several characters. Poe uses the title ?House of Usher? to refer to both the decaying of the physical structure as well as the decaying of Roderick?s house (his head/sanity). Poe demonstrates the divided self theory as it represents many opposing things: sane and insane, tangible and intangible, reality and illusion, life and death.

Abstract
This paper argues that European Unity was been born out of crisis. To prove this point two organizations are examined. The first organization is the European Community/European Union and the second is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
From the Paper
"Many social, political and economic trends have emerged since the end of World War II. One of the most important of these trends since is the increasing level of European unity.

Two organizations will be examined in detail. The first is the European Community (EC) which is now known as the European Union (EU)."

Abstract
The author describes the basic tenets of belief of these two faiths according to their websites. The writer discusses how Scientologists behave towards a workplace environment, implying that its motives of helping a company's employees are really a backdrop for religious recruitment. The paper also shows how members of the Unity Church can sometimes find it difficult to be accepted among their colleagues, when topics of religion are discussed at the workplace.
From the Paper
"Acceptance amongst one's peers in the workplace means a great deal for many people. When an employee feels as though they are not accepted because of their religious beliefs, they may find themselves sitting at the lunch table alone, driving by themselves to a company outing, or to an off site meeting. This can make that person feel as though they are far less superior to their coworkers, which could cause their job performance to suffer."

From the Paper
"Anthony Smith is a sociologist of the London School of Economics who is devoted to the study of nationalism and ethno-nationalism. He has long stressed the role of warfare and its experiences in forging cohesive identities. (1981) The experiences of war have a way of forging distinct groups whose self-images are made different from others, often in a cohesion not there before, or not in the same way. Jonathan Vance Reading commented on the lasting memory of the Great War that affected perhaps every Canadian family, and certainly, every community, an understanding of the horrors of the trenches of World War I part of national consciousness as much as awareness of what Canadians had achieved. (1997) If one is Canadian or feels a strong connection to Canadians or their sufferings in the World Wars, one may be surprised by one's reaction to signs of something Canadian that is not properly recognized. For instance, when preparing an assignment that addressed Major John McCrae MD (1872-1918) and his poem In Flanders Field, for a different university course, it was intriguing to discover a personal reaction of anger at a poem sometimes claimed by the British and Americans, a short reference made to 'a Canadian doctor'. His poem, now memorized by generations of Canadian school children and a strong symbol of the Canadians in World War II and the veterans of both World Wars 'feels' Canadian and he was not a mere doctor but a remarkable man."

Abstract
An argumentative paper discussing the issue of school uniforms in American schools. The author argues that uniform introduces unity, obedience, discipline and order and will be useful for children?s future in the corporate world. The author argues that especially in modern America, where disobedience is abundant and polarity exists between students, uniforms may help better the situation.
From the Paper
?Due to the current situation in America, the time has come for school uniforms to be required in all schools across the nation. This is a time desperately in need of order, obedience, unity, and preparedness. School uniforms decrease student misbehavior, increase student unity, and increase the students? level of preparation for the real, corporate world. School uniforms are a necessity in modern America. Before The Tragedy of September 11th, America was a land deeply divided. It might almost have been seen as two nations, conservative and liberal, polarized not only on the most basic racial, religious, and political lines, but also on issues of ethic and civic duty. There were those who believed then that difference should be elevated, non-conformity applauded, and patriotism scorned. This division was reflected in the debate that surrounded school uniforms. Most people held strong opinions on the subject, either positive or negative.?

Abstract
This paper examines William Shakespeare's plays, "Henry IV, Parts I and II", and, in particular, looks at how Henry misjudges his son and cannot see that Hal, who is not guilty of usurpation and regicide, will be able to unite the now divided kingdom. It shows how Henry?s faults and strengths cause him to symbolically reflect the struggle for progress, represented by the bridge between the corruption of England during Richard II?s reign and the unity of Henry V?s kingdom. It also explores how, after the ?struggle? ceases and Henry IV dies, Prince Hal becomes King Henry V ,and the previously divided nation progresses by integration.
From the Paper
"Hal?s adoption of the commoners is best described by the Duke of Warwick when he says: ?The Prince but studies his companions, / Like a strange tongue? to gain the language?? (Pt. II, IV, iv, 76-78.) Hal is like a growing tree basking in the sun, Henry IV is the gardener who planted Hal?s seed, and the commoners form one of Hal?s developing branches. By growing into a man ?of all humors,? (Pt. I, II, iv, 89) Hal is becoming his entire nation in an individual form, which is symbolically what a king is. Hal has studied the commoners well and is able to both talk and think like them, as portrayed in Hal?s witty exchanges with Falstaff. Hal?s desire to adapt to the needs of the various peoples of his country foreshadows the harmony that will dominate England when he is king."

The Dis(Unity) of Nature and Humanity, 2005.

Abstract
In "The Organic Machine," Richard White ambitiously redefines the natural world in terms of energy transfer. His is one of many contemporary views intended to counter classical conceptions of the natural world, conceptions that are still popularly held by many today. This paper shows that White's version is based on a startling and unique perspective, but one must ask whether it is satisfying and whether it is realistic.
From the Paper
"Perhaps White is correct in stressing the fundamental unity of all action. Perhaps a handmade wooden fish wheel is essentially no different from a massive steel turbine, and perhaps all movement that occurs on the earth's surface can be condensed into simple exchanges of energy. Yet one cannot help think that this simplification somehow removes a vital facet of reality. Are Shakespeare's writings, which Emerson continually praises, mere dashes of ink on a page, fundamentally no different from any other piece of written word? Is a Beethoven Sonata really just a string of 1's and 0's on a compact disc?"
