Abstract
This paper discusses John Maxwell's book, "The Twenty-One Irrefutable Laws of Leadership". The paper suggests that the book is based upon the philosophy that leadership is the cornerstone of successful business and that it is through individuals that strive to do what is right, that true leaders emerge. It describes how Maxwell contends that leadership exists in every society, all organizations and throughout the generations, yet, leaders often require new ideologies to inspire them in the leadership of others.
From the Paper
"Summary of The Book: The Twenty-One Irrefutable Laws of Leadership The laws, Maxwell contends, have the ability to be learned by anyone who is devoted to leadership. While many leaders are naturally inclined to fulfill these roles, there are just as many individuals within organizations who must acquire the talent of successful leadership. Maxwell further suggests that the 21 laws have the ability to be the only guidance for the leader when the laws are addressed with conviction. "

Abstract
The paper is a report on the book "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" that shows ways of understanding every task and of shaping one's personal behavior to lead others. In describing these different laws, the author provides examples in the form of stories about people facing different situations, then analyzes their reactions and how well they meet the challenges they face.
From the Paper
"John Maxwell's book "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" (1998) joins a long list of books teaching elements of leadership, many with a numbered list as a way of ordering the information. The subtitle of the book is "Follow Them and People Will follow you," a promise that the author addresses by showing ways of understanding every task and of shaping one's personal behavior to lead others. In describing these different laws, the author provides examples in the form of stories about people facing different situations, then analyzes their reactions and how well they meet the challenges they face. The first of these stories involves two brothers in the 1930s who moved to California and eventually opened a theater in Glendale. They later opened a small drive-in restaurant in Pasadena, eventually moving to San Bernardino. The company they created was named after them, McDonald's, and it was profitable for them."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Ethel Wilson's "Swamp Angel" and Leon McKay Jr.'s "Twenty-Six" are two dramatic novels written by Canadian authors and set within Canadian borders. The writer maintains that despite these superficial similarities they are, however, very similar books in their themes of compassion, familial relationships, time, drama, pain, and the necessity of moving forward. The writer concludes that the endings of "Swamp Angel" and "Twenty-Six" represent the importance of compassion in redemption. Life is difficult, the authors seem to acknowledge; but it rolls on, regardless of us. The writer maintains that the only means through which we can improve our lives and obtain meaning is through acceptance of change and the embracing of the human beings who are important to us - our family.
From the Paper
"Both novels deal closely with the theme of compassion towards those around us, as part of being human. The novels Swamp Angel and Twenty-Six also deal with the concept of responsibility, particularly in a familial sense. Wilson's book serves to remind the reader what it is to be human. That is, we must not only be ourselves, but are responsible for the consequences of our actions and how they effect others - especially family members. This concept of responsibility is tied in with the idea of time. Wilson's character Maggie demonstrates that though time is ours, it does not permit us the joy and irresponsibility of floating along of our own accord, acting of our own whim without regard to others. Instead, life and relationships are temporal. And, in the temporal flow of relationships, changes abound. When Mrs. Severance gives up the Swamp Angel, she recognizes that time and change are necessary ideals to uphold."

Abstract
This essay concerns Leo MacKay Jr.'s novel entitled 'Twenty Six', and it evaluates a review of the same novel. In this case, the review was taken from Quill and Quire magazine. The essay concludes, that the review does not really do the novel justice or present it adequately, as is also the case with other reviews of this novel. The writer points out that the central conflict is poorly represented.
From the Paper
"A review of a book, movie, play or other art form has to straddle a delicate balance- on the one hand, an accurate and objective view of the work must be presented, but on the other hand, the author of the review also has to make his or her own unique point. He has to really be saying something original about the book in order to make the review worthwhile. A common difficulty, therefore, is when reviewers seem to struggle for things to say that are unique and original, and the review itself ends up being either an overly negative criticism or a retelling or summarizing of the plot of the story."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss and analyze the book "Twenty Years at Hull-House" by Jane Addams. Specifically, it discusses what her political argument is and how she goes about promoting it in the book. It looks at how Addams argues that it is the responsibility of the government to care and aid those in poverty and that regulating the workplace is one place to begin this aid. It also examines how Addams promotes the idea that everyone needs to respect each other and work together to solve society's toughest problems.
From the Paper
"Part of her argument surrounds the inactivity of local and state governments to create decent living and working conditions for the nation's poor. She writes, "The policy of the public authorities of never taking an initiative, and always waiting to be urged to do their duty, is obviously fatal in a neighborhood where there is little initiative among the citizens" (83). The city has a moral obligation to create decent conditions for the city's poorest workers, but she notices that often they shirk their responsibility because the immigrant citizens do not know their rights or how to access them. She notes that many houses do not have sewers, there is little street lighting, the streets are dirty, and the schools are inadequate, among other things. "

Twenty Thousand Leagues of Accuracy, 2002.
A detailed discussion about Jules Verne's book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea."

Abstract
In this analysis of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne, the writer of this paper takes the reader on an exploratory journey of the story itself and then works to compare the culture of the people on the submarine to actual cultures. The writer concludes with a discussion about the comparison.
From the Paper
"Many times in literature the author will use the story to portray or convey some truth in fiction about the culture he is writing about. This was the case with Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. In this book the author takes painstaking efforts to convey many details with extreme accuracy relating to the culture of life at sea and the findings that occur. Other aspects of the culture are not as easily defined because of the various nations that the shipmates come from. However, the culture of sea life is a culture that crosses all barriers and Verne does an excellent job of painting a mental picture for the reader about the culture that his characters lived in the story and would have lived had they been real."

Abstract
This paper documents the career of William Taft, who worked as a journalist, practiced in the court of law and eventually became President of the United States in 1909.
From the Paper
"William Taft was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of Alphonso and Louisa Torrey Taft. Both parents were descendants of old and substantial New England families of British origin. His father had moved to Cincinnati in 1837 to practice law. His mother came to Ohio from Massachusetts years later and was Alphonso's second wife. Their first son died in infancy, but in 1857, William Howard Taft was born. In time there were six children, including William, his two brothers, his sister, and his two half brothers by his father's first marriage. Traditions revering education and public service ran strong in the family. Alphonso Taft himself served as a judge in Ohio, as attorney general and secretary of war in the administration of Ulysses S. Grant and as U.S. minister to Austria and to Russia. He set an example that his son William was to emulate and exceed. (Microsoft Encarta)"

Abstract
There have been numerous changes in the field of healthcare over the past twenty-five years. Many of these have occurred behind the scenes in areas such as regulation and documentation requirements. Others are obvious, such as advancement in medicines and technology. All have some degree of impact on the delivery of healthcare to the patient. Most have an impact on the cost of healthcare delivery. By interviewing a healthcare provider who has been in the industry for the past 25 years, this paper examines what area of change has made the greatest difference and what the future has in store.
From the Paper
"Finally, the health care industry is changing extremely fast. New technology requires ongoing training for healthcare providers. With change being a constant, healthcare workers find themselves under more and more pressure just to "get it right," said the D.O.N. The downside of new technology is the risk to which it exposes the patient. While ongoing training is essential, time and labor is inconsistent. Constant relearning poses a degree of threat to patients. Ongoing training is destabilizing. When a new nurse finds that his or her nursing supervisor knows less than they in terms of procedural change it is difficult to give the best care."

Capitalism of the Twenty-First Century, 2008.
This paper explores two works: Robert Reich's text, "The Work of Nations" and a PBS online video presentation, "Wal-Mart: Is It Good for America?"

Abstract
The paper looks at the thesis of both Robert Reich's text, "The Work of Nations" and a PBS presentation "Wal-Mart: Is It Good for America?" and examines the manner in which the theses are substantiated as well as the objectivity of the works. The writer shows how both writers present similar theses and that each presents facts in a manner that support their underlying arguments. The paper concludes that both sources offer insight into the dark realities of twenty-first century capitalism, although only Reich offers definitive solutions.
From the Paper
"Robert B. Reich's text on what the twenty-first century portends is remarkably prescient in light of the fact it was completed by its author at the dawn of the 1990s. Overall, Reich appears to take the view that the old phenomenon - one which dates back to the nineteenth century - of the individual standard of living rising or falling in concert with the economic performance of the nation's largest business organizations is no longer taking place. Instead, technology, money, jobs and ideas are flowing more easily than ever across national borders and from one part of the globe to another. As a result, national corporations are losing whatever national identity they might once have had as the profit-maximization potential of the global workplace manifests itself."

Abstract
This paper is a case study of AT&T as the company goes through its third breakup in twenty years, announcing in 2000 that it would affect a breakup of its business into different units. The paper explains that this restructuring would create separate wireless, broadband, business long distance and consumer long distance companies. The paper shows how this restructuring mirrored the breakup of the Bell telephone company that produced AT&T and several other companies in the first place.
From the Paper
"AT&T announced in 2000 a breakup of its business into different units, a restructuring that would create separate wireless, broadband, business long distance, and consumer long distance companies. This restructuring mirrored the breakup of the Bell telephone company that produced AT&T and several other companies in the first place. This would be the third time in two decades that the company had been forced to split into separate entities. The company was also prepared to sell off its non-strategic assets. The intent was to emerge a learner company with a clearer core business mission. Technological innovation was clearly a goal for AT&T during most of its history and the company developed a large number of new products for use in homes, offices and other sites to give the consumer access to the latest in telephonic capabilities."

From the Paper
"George Bush has been in Washington for more than 20 years, and his popularity has changed many times over those years. In his time as president he became one of the most popular presidents because of the Gulf War and then became one of the least popular presidents as he ran for reelection. The people seem to dislike George Bush, and there are good reasons for this. The man has had the opportunity to do a lot of good, and instead he has done very little. He does not seem to understand that the president is in an office that has to do something about foreign affairs and domestic affairs both. Instead, George Bush handles foreign affairs because he is comfortable doing that, but he is then ignoring the people who elected him and who need his help.
Borger (1989) said that President Bush was being president by-the-numbers, which meant that he was doing the job as if it...

From the Paper
"Louis XIV and Twenty Million Frenchmen
Pierre Goubert, author of Louis XIV and Twenty Million Frenchmen, is the President of the Societe de Demographie Historique and professor at the University of Nanterre. He previously wrote Beauvais et le Beauvaisis de 1600 a 1730, which is an important work in modern French history. His writing places the life, personality, and reign of Louis XIV in the context of the economic, social, and demographic characteristics of France between 1661 and 1715. Goubert's approach is that of an exploration of the relationship between a king and his people.
The book is written in an organized manner, following the chronology of Louis XIV's life. The main body of the book is preceded by a chapter describing conditions in France at the time that Louis XIV takes the throne and concludes with a summary ..."
