Abstract
This paper introduces the concept of Grand Unified Theory--or GUT--the major accomplishments of the theory to date, as well as the most promising directions for the future. Foremost among these is the emergence of string theory or superstring theory in physics: it may provide the tools necessary to ultimately link the major branches of physics under the overarching cosmological model of the universe.

Labour's Labor, 2006.
A review of an article discussing the impact and damage of WWII on the British economy.

Abstract
This paper discusses how following World War II, the British economy, its social structures, and its infrastructure, were all considerably damaged by the years of war over the European continent. Unions, as Dorfman points out, entered the post-World War II era as one of the nation's policy focal points in what would otherwise have been a political vacuum (par.1). It further discusses how in the decades following the war, Unions provided the citizenry, in the form of workers, with adequate representation within the structures of government and ensured that many policies and programs were enacted that would ensure not only work related rights and assurance but also social programs. The Unions within Britain for three decades held considerable sway over policy decisions as well as policy formulation.

Abstract
The writer explains that moral stage theory describes the cognitive and moral development of humans and that it consists of three main levels, each divided into two stages. The paper explains each of the six stages of Lawrence Kohlberg's theory. The paper discusses the objections from Duke University philosopher, Owen Flanagan, regarding the manner in which data is collected to support Kohlberg's theory. The paper explains that Flanagan's main argument against the theory is his disagreement with Kohlberg's conclusion that morality and moral development are unified in nature. In conclusion, the writer expresses Flanagan's opinion that in most cases humans do not use a single unified position when considering matters of morality, but that humans rely on a wide variety of reasoning tools to help negotiate moral dilemmas.
From the Paper
"The Moral Stage Theory of social psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg describes the cognitive and moral development of humans as consisting of three main levels: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Within each level there are two distinct stages. According to Kohlberg's theory, the development of morality in humans is closely related to our cognitive development. This development begins with absolute self-interest, and progresses toward a final deontological stage in which rational individuals are compelled by reason to accept their duty to preserve the fundamental rights of others."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the superiority of air power that had evolved from the military of William Mitchell and Giulio Douhet. In the author's view, by understanding the balance of naval and air power in these theories, Mitchell provides the most comprehensive theory that uses air power as a separate, but unified naval approach to modern warfare. By also analyzing the limited naval strategies of Julian Corbett and A. T. Mahan, the author states that one can realize that Mitchell's theory of air power in conjunction with a strong navy is the ideal approach to an effective military force.
From the Paper
"In World War II, the integration of the navy and the air force during the Pacific arena of fighting was extremely important due to the nature of air dominance that was needed to move the navy about so that they could drop soldiers onto the land. This initiative was part of Mitchell's understanding of a cooperative balance (Mitchell's desire to separate, but not to isolate the different sectors of the military) between navy and air power (Jones 2004, 24) that would help create scenarios where the enemy would have to build a greater air force in order to deal with heavy bombing on their land forces if they did not. By taking Douhet's theories on air power through bombing techniques, it became essential for militaries to build far more aggressive and efficient ways to dominate the skies. Mitchell was essential able to begin processing the way that air power would have to be the dominant strategy to help understand why and how wars of the future would be fought."

The Tripartite Theory, 2004.
An analysis of the tripartite theory of political power with reference to Plato and Aristotle.
1,061 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the political philosophy of Plato and Aristotle. The paper explains Plato's philosophy, which stated that there were three classes of the state because the human soul had three parts: A calculating part, a warlike or angry part, and a desiring or striving part. The paper states that the tripartite city corresponded to the tripartite soul. Aristotelian theory is presented in contrast, illustrating that the soul was a unified whole with many parts.
From the Paper
"Because of the American tendency to bifurcate conceptions of morality and the soul from political structures, it can be at times difficult to grasp the political philosophy of Plato, whereby the nature of the human soul and Plato?s ideal political ?Republic? are integrally related. For Plato the human soul was merely the state writ small. Both had the same inherent structure or form. ?The just man will not be any different from the just city with respect to the form itself of justice, but will be like it" (The Republic, 435b)."

Table of Contents:
Overview: The Rational Unified Process
Phases
Inception Phase
Elaboration Phase
Construction Phase
Transition Phase
Iterations
Workflows
From the Paper
"The transition phase may undergo several iterations that may include enhancements of the product based on users' feedbacks and correction of bugs and errors. This typically happens after beta tests. This phase generally comes down to the goal of ensuring that the software product meets the requirements of the users and is of good quality. Usually, this phase ends with a postmortem that documents learning for future reference within the lifecycle of the product (Meloche, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper reviews the history and development of a unified Europe. The paper looks at a number of changes that happened in Europe between 1945-1991. Particular interest is given to the European Community and how it eventually led to the European Union due to higher and higher levels of co-operation.
From the Paper
"The continent known as Europe has a long and complicated history. Much of that history has involved conflicts of various types between various countries. Because European countries tended to fight with each other there was no concept of a unified Europe before 1945. The concept of a unified Europe did not appear suddenly. Instead the concept of a unified Europe was the result of a number of economic, social and political trends that slowly developed from 1945 to 1991 and are still developing today. However, not all of these trends developed at the same rate."

Abstract
This paper explains that the philosophy of RUP differs from that of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) in that it is architecture-based instead of process-based; RUP breaks the components of the systems development life cycle into phases, which may be subject to several iterations containing core workflows, which lead to an end milestone. The author points out that the basic structure of RUP is based on phases named inception, elaboration, construction and transition; these new sets of systems analysis are the workflows. The paper relates that one of the key advantages of the RUP system is that it allows larger systems to be broken down into components and then these components to be broken into hierarchies, which allows the developer to handle many unrelated architectural units rather than trying to integrate many unrelated components into a systematic waterfall-like system.

Disadvantages
From the Paper
"Authors have found many grounds upon which to criticize RUP. RUP has been found to be lacking in several areas. Arguments found in Hesse (2001) contend that it does not contain a contingency for enterprise reuse management, requirements modeling, enterprise specific architecture, enterprise specific risk management, human resource management, system operations, and systems support. He has developed a system that extends RUP to include these issues called Enterprise Unified Process (EUP). The authors of EUP point out that these issues are concerns in the real world for corporations. No one would argue that these issues are indeed real issues for corporations. However, it could be argued that these areas are outside of the realm of the systems developer and would be better left to the experts in these fields. They should be considered by the design team and the proper entities consulted in these issues. However, by strict definition of the job description of the systems developer, they would fall outside of their prescribed area of expertise."

Grand Unified Theories, 1993.
Argues that the successful concept will cover outer and inner limits of the universe.

From the Paper
"This study will argue that a grand unified theory which is truly "grand" and "unified" will cover, theoretically, both the "outer" and "inner" limits of the universe. As we shall see, the most seriously considered grand unified theories do indeed cover both inner and outer limits.
Einstein worked on a Unified Field Theory for the last twenty-five or so years of his life. As Barnett writes, "Today the outer limits of man's knowledge are defined by Relativity, the inner limits by Quantum Theory. Relativity has shaped all our concepts of space, time, gravitation, and the realities that are too remote and too vast to be perceived. The Quantum Theory has shaped all our concepts of the atom, the basic units of matter and energy, and the realities that are too elusive and too small to be perceived" (1:107)."

Abstract
Current researchers have approached the question of sexual preference and its causes from a biological as well as a psychological and sociological point of study. Both types of researchers would agree that the various areas of influence are not necessarily exclusive of one another, and that no single area dominates the decision as to what determines sexual orientation. The paper shows that some researchers have demonstrated a biologic or genetic component of human sexual orientation. Others dispute this claim, stating that sexuality is largely an environmentally-influenced preference. In conclusion, this paper argues that it is clearly necessary to approach the causes of sexual orientation from a point of view that includes both biologic and environmental factors.
From the Paper
"Blanchard and Klassen have hypothesized that the Y-linked minor histocompatiblity antigens, or H-Y antigens, are involved in sexual development. Their study shows that some mothers experience a progressive immunization to the antigen, and that this change may increase the effects of H-Y antibodies on the sexual differentiation of the brain in male children that are born later in the birth order within a family. According to the authors, this information is consistent with the fact that there is a correlation between sexual orientation in men and the number of older brothers they have. Each older brother increases the odds of homosexual preference by nearly 33% in the younger siblings."

Abstract
This paper points out that by acting on behalf of a large group, the labor unions have more power than if the employees acted alone. This paper describes and compares United Airline?s and Ford Motor Company?s labor practices and problems. This paper presents an ideal employer-labor relationship.
From the Paper
"Congress, starting to feel pressure for groups like the AFL, created the U.S. Department of Labor. The department has a mandate to protect and extend the rights of wageworkers. A children?s bureau was created. In 1914, the first law to protect workers was enacted, the Clayton Act said that ?the labor of A Human Being is not a commodity or an article of commerce.? Because of this change in the legal status of work and labor, those things were no longer subject to the Sherman Act provisions that had been the legal basis for injunctions against union organizations. The Clayton Act allowed for strikes, boycotts, peaceful picketing and dramatically limited the use of injunctions in labor disputes."

Abstract
This paper discusses the positive and negative lessons that history can provide to today's unions and trade unions in Canada. It describes the influence that the state and the nature of the economy have on labor and labor organizations and their activities. The paper also discusses trade unions and their role, as well as other developments in the history of the labor movement. Finally the paper looks at fthe ree market economy and its implications in increasing job insecurity and wage and benefit rollbacks.
From the Paper
"Free market economy increased job insecurity and wage and benefit rollbacks and continues to be the basis of today's economy in Canada. The labor movement of today is faced with these challenges as well as the relocation and closing down of many industrial plants and factories all over Canada. Also, today Canada's labor movement needs to have a broader agenda as it faces with all the challenges of the global economy as well as the effects of the decline of state intervention within the context of this new global economy. It also needs to recognize the cultural, social and ethnic diversity that makes up the Canadian workforce today. Additionally it has to become concerned with the status of part-time and temporary employees whose number is increasing steadily, as many employers are cutting out full-time jobs with full benefits."
