Abstract
An essay discussing the various contributions of the Turner Foundation to the environment. The author examines the financial and volunteer labor that this foundation has offered and the positive impact on health and the local environment that these type of efforts make.
From the Paper
"Ted Turner is perfectly happy to pour money down the drain ? at least, if it can help preserve the quality of America?s waters, and especially the rivers that feed into and out of Georgia. The money contributed by his Turner Foundation along with contributions in terms of volunteer labor to the local environment given by workers from his companies have had a substantial positive impact on the health of the local environment and local waterways, especially the Chattahoochee River. His work demonstrates that corporations can be responsible and that the work of an individual passionately committed to a cause can make a substantial difference."

Abstract
This paper examines the life of Ted Turner, born Robert Edward Turner III in 1938 in Cincinnati, Ohio and who is considered one of the richest men in the world today. It looks at how his empire includes a myriad of ventures, such as the Atlanta Braves baseball team and TNT, Turner Network Television.

It shows how throughout his life, he has maintained a competitive spirit and demonstrated leadership qualities by transforming innovative ideas into reality.
From the Paper
"Turner has been a lifelong environmentalist and humanitarian. In the 1985, Turner founded the Better World Society, a production company dedicated to making documentaries to educate people about issues such as pollution, hunger, and the danger of the nuclear arms race. A year later, he founded The Goodwill Games in an effort to promote world peace and in 1992 the Turner Tomorrow Awards as an incentive for writers around the world to create positive solutions to world problems (Hanson pg). Turner has produced numerous ?documentaries and fact-based feature films on his TNT channel to show the development of American history from the Native American? perspective and highlight their contributions to the United States (Hanson pg). As a child Turner dreamed of bison grazing, and today he has roughly 17,000 bison roaming on nine ranches, part of an effort to restore the American West to its glory days when the Sioux dominated the Great Plains (Haddad C1)."

From the Paper
"Introduction
One of the most influential executives in American media today, Robert Edward Turner III, better known as Ted, has achieved a great deal more success than his early life would have predicted. With a self-confidence which rivals that of fellow moguls Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch, Ted Turner is a well recognized participant in both the American media and political scene. During his career, analysts have often predicted his imminent failure, but so far, Turner has successfully forged deals just in time to save himself from disaster. In the course of doing so, he has reshaped the landscape of American media. This research examines Turner's life, his background and his business career, and evaluates what opportunities may await Turner in the next century."

Abstract
This paper discusses the significant contributions of Galileo Galilei to the field of mathematics. It provides a brief history of his life and then focuses on some examples of the contributions that he made to mathematics. The paper also discusses his misinterpreted-battle between science and religion and how it overshadows many of the other contributions that Galileo made during his lifetime as a scientist and mathematician.
From the Paper
"We often hear of a Copernican revolution in science, but Galileo was the instigator of a much more fundamental revolution that influenced both science and mathematics. The worldview that Galileo created to replace the Aristotelian worldview that dominated at the time contended that the world was made up only of matter whose properties and motions could be described in terms of mathematics (Machamer). In other words, Galileo advanced the now-obvious notion that mathematics was nothing short of the language of the universe. Using mathematics, Galileo was able to describe and understand the mechanics of the universe, effectively gaining a deeper understanding of the way that the world is put together. This is Galileo's most significant contribution to mathematics. He removed the idle, superstitious philosophy from the study of the natural world and pushed mathematics to the forefront of natural inquiries, demonstrating again and again that it could be used to understand the way the world works."

Abstract
This paper shows that, despite the enormous contributions made by Asian-Americans to American capitalism, U.S. immigration policies did not grant citizenship status to Asian-Americans until later modifications to the U.S. Immigration Acts of the 1960s.
Paper Outline
Introduction
The 1965 U.S. Immigration Act
Asian-American Contributions to American Capitalism
The Growth of American Chinatowns
U.S. Congress Designates May as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month
The Building of the Trans-U.S. Railroad
Asian-American Contributions to the U.S. Military
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Chinese were the first Asians to arrive in the US in large numbers. By the 1830s Chinese were selling goods in New York City and toiling in Hawaiian sugarcane fields. Gold was discovered in California in 1848, eventually attracting thousands of Chinese miners and contract laborers. Through such cheap labor provided by early Asian immigrants, there is no denial that American Capitalism directly benefited from such contributions. Early Japanese immigrants also came to Hawaii and California to work in agriculture."

Abstract
This paper examines the history of rhetoric and it's significance in early Greek and Roman civilizations that coincided with creation of democracy and the importance of public speech. It then shows Kenneth Burke's contribution to the new rhetoric as an argumentative weapon and his influence on the post-modern deconstructionism.
Table of Contents
1. Introduction
2. Section One: The Preceding Conversation
3. Section Two: Contribution to the Conversation
4. Section Three: Effect on the Conversation
5. Conclusion
From the paper:
"The word ?rhetoric? has an old fashioned air about it. It calls up images of schoolrooms with children in ruffled collars and Latin grammars and not a laptop in sight for several centuries. But rhetoric is as alive as is language itself, and this paper examines the importance of rhetorical studies in helping each of us to become the best writers and speakers ? the best communicators ? that we can be. A historical study of changes models and standards in rhetoric can also provide us not only with a sense of how linguistic and especially English style has changed over the years as well as illuminating how our conception of language and its structure and function have changed as well. This paper engages in such an examination by focusing on the work of Kenneth Burke. We begin with a brief overview of the life of this man whose rhetorical work we will then examine."

Table of Contents:
Roles of Nursing Research
Evidence-Based Practice
From the Paper
"Kurt Lewin's Change Theory can adequately describe the process necessary to overcome the obstacles in the implementation of nursing research. Lewin describes change can be induced in organizations or groups by first unfreezing prevalent cognitive concepts that affect perception of the new concept, relearning and refreezing the new concept (Schein, 2006). Unfreezing can begin by introducing new research in a series of lectures and symposia designed to highlight the current flaws in traditional practices and by emphasizing its strengths and limitations in order to redefine any preconceptions associated with it (Schein, 2006). Emphasis should also be placed on the success of other health care systems currently using it and its applicability to this hospital. Reinforcement of new evidence-based practices using group discussions serves to refreeze, re-evaluate and reset the prevailing norm to accept them as the new standard of care (Schein, 2006)."

Abstract
African people and culture have contributed in a very significant way towards world civilization. This paper shows that historical, archaeological, and anthropological evidence supports the theory that the civilization of ancient Egypt, the first that history records, was actually Negroid in origin and that the original inhabitants of the Nile Valley were black Africans, subsequently displaced by the migration of Arabs and Europeans. The paper also examines empires like the Ashanti and the Songhai, which were so dominant in matters of trade and warfare that they actually rivaled their European counterparts, even in pre-colonial eras.
From the Paper
"African people and culture have contributed in a very significant way towards world civilization. According to Diop, the historical, archeological and anthropological evidence supports the theory that the civilization of ancient Egypt, the first that history records, was actually Negroid in origin {Diop, 1974}. No matter how the truth is bended, the fact remains that the original inhabitors of the Nile Valley area now called Egypt were black Africans, subsequently displaced by the migration of Arabs and Europeans into the African Continent. The Pyramids of Egypt stands as a testament to the black origins of world civilization. With lots of irrefutable evidence, history could no longer deny the fact that civilization started in Africa in the Nile valley, where pre-historic tools were first discovered. The Pyramids of Egypt, one of the Seven Wonders of the World still bewilder Scientists and Structural Engineers who still have no clues or theories explaining how those structures were put together."

From the Paper
"The early Middle Ages marked the time of early barbarian kingdoms rebelling against traditional Roman law because they no longer recognized the emperor in Constantinople as their sovereign. Therefore, they established vast empires in Western Europe; a prime example of such a kingdom was that of the Carolingians. Charles the Great, or Charlemagne, is considered to be the most successful Carolingian ruler despite the relatively rapid collapse of his empire caused by three dominant factors: external pressures, dynastic competition, and the rise of the aristocracy. Although the Carolingian empire eventually crumbled as a result of the above occurrences, it tremendously impacted Western European society with its numerous political, military, cultural, and economic contributions throughout the time it reigned."
