From the Paper
"The invasion also allowed the Turks to establish their authority on the Greeks. They disallowed the Greek refugees from entering the lands that they had occupied. This is because the Greeks had threatened to wage war against not only the Turkish Cypriots, but also Turkey. Furthermore, both communities of Cyprus started looking up to the Americans for political rewards and punishments. Halil Ibrahim Salih (1978) writes, "The Turks thus hope that the strain of caring for 180,000 refugees will weaken Greek resolve and that Greece will be forced to accept establishment of a bizonal federation on Cyprus ... .""

Abstract
This paper explains that, although both Hungary and Cyprus are international crossroads nations, their experiences as members of the EU are likely to be very different. The writer states that it is already clear that old economic and political habits die hard in Hungary and that nation is likely to toddle along, perhaps helped economically by EU membership, but perhaps not very much. On the other hand, the writer points out that it is clear that Cyprus has been able to use its position, despite its continuing unsettled Turkish-Greek political situation, to take full advantage of membership and become a financial powerhouse in the region.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In fact, Cyprus, a year after EU accession, has seen exactly the economic benefits it sought and expected. Cyprus Minister of Finance Iacovos Keravnos particularly cited the economic benefits of the Cyprus pound joining the EU Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II). This would add to the benefits already experienced including the "stability of the Cyprus pound's exchange rate, the convergence of Cypriot interest rates with those of the Eurozone, the restraint of production costs, improved competitiveness, and the attraction of foreign investment" (Xinhua News Agency 2005)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Turkey's process has begun in earnest only recently, with its desires to join the Union as a full member earning it the right as a candidate in 2001. Today, it under consideration for admission, even as many existing members of the Union oppose its bid, many of them citing Cyprus as a reason for doing so. Ironically, Greece is one of Turkey's staunchest supporters for admission, endorsing the view that this will help to rectify impasses to humanitarian reform. However, "opponents fret that a new member as large and poor as Turkey would adulterate European values. Lingering concern persists about the incorporation of 10 mostly East European countries last year, which some feared would dilute EU prosperity. Many feel that EU enlargement has run its course and that further extensions would make it unwieldy." (Rice-Oxley, 1) However, there are a number of distinct aspects to this perspective which are suggestive of a less-than-pure diplomatic intent in this exclusion. Numerous detectable differences between Turkey's economy, political identity and, especially, its majority Muslim ethnic makeup, have caused it to encounter resistance which the Greeks did not experience in their bid. Though Turkey has long been a member of various western and European alliances, the pointedly economic implications of the EU cabal have held tantalizing prospects before the isolated Turks."

The Transcendence of Love, 2005.
This paper compares the transcendence of love according to Antoine de Saint-Exupery's "The Little Prince" and Plato's "The Symposium".

Abstract
This paper explains that, on the surface, Antoine de Saint-Exupery's "The Little Prince" and Plato's "The Symposium" are so different than the casual reader would not be inclined to compare them but there are certain elements, which are deeply related: Both deal with a quest to understand the nature and implication of love. The author points out that the Little Prince travels across all the stars before he discovers the nature and necessity of love; Socrates travels throughout realms of philosophy in order to seek the true understanding of love. The paper relates that, though they come to different conclusions about the nature of love, many of their conclusions have certain similarities: In both cases, the transformation from ignorance to wisdom is vital to the understanding of love. It explains that the transformation is aided by the wisdom of an elder and the protagonist comes to understand that love is a transcendent power beyond the visible; however, the difference is the definition of transcendence makes Exupery's work essentially innocent in its physicality and Plato's work grown-up and oddly sterile in its denial of the body.
From the Paper
"The two works are also similar in that both of the quests for love are aided by wisdom from outside the experience of the seeker. Plato is aided in his understanding by Diotima, and the Little Prince finds wisdom in the words of the Socrates whom he tames. Of course, there are significant differences in the relationship between Socrates's relationship with Diotima and the relationship between the Prince and the Fox, most notable that the former seems to be purely intellectual and the later is based in love itself. Socrates seems to be guided to an understanding of love through the intervention of wisdom, while the Prince comes both to understand wisdom and to understand love through the experience of love and the intervention of the beloved. Socrates is taught, the Prince is tamed, or at least becomes a tamer. "

Transcendence and Immanence, 2007.
An analysis of the concepts of transcendence and immanence in terms of Simone de Beauvoir's feminist analysis.

Abstract
This paper explores the concepts of transcendence and immanence in terms of Simone de Beauvoir's feminist analysis. In this context, it argues that Beauvoir's use of these concepts to describe how the lives of women and men in society are distinctly culturally gendered, is not only substantiated when considered in its own historical context, but also illuminates our understanding of gender roles in Western society in the early 21st century.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, while it may justly be said that Beauvoir is "biased" in her use of the concepts of "transcendence" and "immanence" as descriptive models of the structures that support the oppression of women in everyday life, and in her objectives to subvert this oppression and promote the liberty of women, it cannot be said that her work display "gender bias" in this area. This term implies a level of "prejudice" that potentially undermines the value of a work given the particular interests or agenda of the author. Given the extraordinary care and attention of Beauvoir in her use of these concepts to reinforce her arguments with respect to the oppression of women in Western society, and the fact that these arguments have withstood the text of time and the critique of leading authorities and scholars over the past half-century, Beauvoir's use of "transcendence" and "immanence" cannot be represented as displaying "gender bias"."

Pamela Reed's Theory of Self-Transcendence, 2006.
An overview of Pamela Reed's theory of self-transcendence and its potential as a healing therapy for patients undergoing or suffering from a life crisis.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Very few theories are derived from different areas of study and developed as thoroughly as Pamela Reed's theory of self-transcendence. This paper discusses Reed's theory and looks at the potential it holds for healing in that it delves into a very personal, yet potentially potent self-healing approach for patients undergoing life crises or left scarred by them. The paper explains that Reed's theory is one that accepts the reality of mortality, suffering and end-of-life realities and the almost ironic view that these life events are not merely accepted, but can bring about new self-development opportunities.

The Aporia of Transcendence, 2005.
A critical discussion of Michael Sell's work, "The Mystical Languages of Unsaying" in relation to the works of mystic writers, Jalaluddin Rumi and Marguerite Porete.

Abstract
This paper discusses the 'aporia of transcendence' which is a dialectical catechism or 'speaking away' that is used in philosophy. The paper speaks of the 'aporia of transcendence' as it relates to the works of Rumi and Porete. The paper reviews the work on this topic written by Michael Sells. It provides much research on Michael Sells and two other mystic writers, Jalaluddin Rumi and Marguerite Porete.
From the Paper
"'Mystical experience' has long been portrayed as a remote awareness that can be explained and contrasted amongst other types of experience. But, this assessment has been met with substantial criticism in the past two decades. Such methodology evolved over time as a result of an assiduous decline of faith in humanity to impart paradigms by which people could attain secure identities. If society neglects to present convincing authority in regards to questions of Being, individuals often recoil to the internal sanctum of thoughts and feelings. In the alluring, vivacious, and sinister recesses of private musings, existence is validated and given merit. The clandestine struggle of a Mystic does not lend itself to understanding or provide insight into the intricate scaffolding of inspired philosophy. As Michael Sells comments, Mystic writers like Jalaluddin Rumi and Marguerite Porete did not aim to illustrate a specific type of experience. They hoped to generate an appreciation of the framework in which things take place at all and the human relationship to this fixed totality. "

A Sociological Study of Greek and Turkish Relations in Cyprus, 1998.
A discussion based on the sociological hypothesis that " external conflict promotes internal cohesion".

Abstract
This is paper bases its discussion on the sociological hypothesis that " external conflict promotes internal cohesion". The author looks at the study by sociologists Kyriacos Markides and Steven Cohn who found that the effect that the Turkish invasion had on the Greek Cypriot community showed the hypothesis to be untrue, and suggests factors that may have produced this result.
From the Paper
"Within the world of Sociology (specifically the world of social conflict theory) there exists the hypothesis that ?external conflict promotes internal cohesion" within a group that is antagonized by another. Yet in order for this to happen certain conditions by the oppressed group must be met. The group must be a ?going concern?, in other words members of the group must feel that its preservation is important and ?the threat must be perceived to be against the group as a whole, not just a part?.
In regards to this hypothesis a study was done on the country of Cyprus by Sociologists Kyriacos Markides and Steven Cohn. Their findings on the effect that the Turkish invasion had on the Greek Cypriot community showed the hypothesis to be untrue. Dominance by an antagonistic group did not bring Greek Cypriots together but rather split them apart. Their analysis of Cyprus took the hypothesis one step further, insisting that ?one factor determining whether external conflict produces internal consensus is the degree of preexisting unity,? thus arguing that this unity did not exist within Greek Cypriot society."

Abstract
This paper looks at the way in which Emerson, Thoreau and Melville confront and reject the Christianity of their time--though they do not reject God. All three authors address what they see as a fundamental error of human perception: that doing is the same as being. This essay shows the way in which these authors draw on Christianity's powerful images, but reject its salvation.
From the Paper
"Romantics at heart, these writers may be strong in their condemnation of society's and Christianity's errors, but as Thomas Wolfe so aptly put it of every romantic: "His tongue was bitter because his heart believed so much."
"Dream delivers us to dream, and there is no end to illusion" writes Ralph Waldo Emerson in his great essay, Experience. There is something essential, indestructible in the human soul that must be sought out but it is supremely difficult to do so."

From the Paper
"It sometimes seems that the nations of Greece and Turkey should take up the poet Robert Frost?s axiom that ?Good fences make good neighbors?, for the two countries have been continually, if intermittently, at conflict with each other for centuries. At the moment, tensions have relaxed as much as they have during any time in the last quarter-century and it would be all too easy to indulge in a sense of giddy optimism over the state of affairs in this part of the world if one had not seen all of this happen before, only to see the countries once more fall into roles of antagonism. This paper looks at the historical roots of this regional antagonism and at what basis there is for current optimism.
The paper focuses on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, partitioned for the past quarter century between Turks and ..."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Turkey was officially accepted as a possible candidate for EU membership in December 1999, and in 2002 the European Council stated that if Turkey met the 'Copenhagen' criterion by 2004, it would immediately open negotiations. Since 1999, and in particular since the AKP government's election in 2002, Turkey has introduced radical reforms promoting democratisation, and has made considerable efforts concerning human rights. However, these reforms are still not complete, and there are problems concerning their implementation in many areas, including within the area of human rights. In other words, judicial reform, according to the European Commission, remains insufficient."
