Abstract
This paper deals with the concept of partition within a country, with an emphasis on the the conflict between the Hindus and Muslims in India, since the creation of the states of Pakistan and India in 1947 after the partition of India. It studies the past and the present situation with definitions for its historical motivation and culture. It provides a brief history of the conflict between the Hindus and Muslims and examines how after its Independence, the Muslim India needed to establish its political and territorial identity and were directly against Gandhi?s view of a united India.
From the Paper
"Partition in India has not ended and it is far from ending. The territorial right that Masumi Jadwani deals in his thesis are political rather then religious and analyze it from a historical perspective. Of course, religion will play a role whenever the substratum citizen has to find a reason to quarrel over rights of some type. Conflict may initiate locally, bottom up but mainly it will originate from top bottom decisions. Eventual conflicts in India surge in a bulk of problems that exist for long time. Conflicts of Hindus and Muslims date from even before the British."

The 1947 Partition of India, 2005.
This paper discusses the impact of the partition of British India in 1947 into India and Pakistan and argues its harmful effects.

Abstract
This paper sums up the social, political, economic repercussions of the 1947 partition of British India into India and modern-day Pakistan. The paper suggests that a more conciliatory approach on behalf of the political leaders of the day might have avoided much of the subsequent bloodshed and spared both of these nations the acrimony and animosity that presently lingers.
From the Paper
"The partitioning of India has stirred a great deal of debate. This paper will wade into that debate by examining whether or not the partition of India made sense socially, politically, or economically. More specifically, this paper will argue that the 1947 partition did a great deal of harm to India - and to Pakistan - in all three regards and that a more inclusive approach involving the leaders of the day might have spared both nations the tragedies that followed. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of the Indian partitioning of 1947 that one now turns."

Abstract
This paper details the background reasons behind the partition of Ireland and the inevitability of it happening. It then goes on to discuss the events as they happened immediately prior to the 1921 treaty and how the partition was cemented in the following years.
From the Paper
"John Redmond died in 1918 and left the Irish Parliamentary Party in tatters; it had been decapitated and was already on an uneasy base because of Lloyd George's earlier proposals and the wave of support for Sinn Fein after the 1916 rising. The IPP suffered a great defeat in the 1918 elections, returning just 6 candidates. The Ulster Unionists won 26 seats and Sinn Fein 73. These figures seem to give Sinn Fein a broader electoral support than it realistically had. Almost a quarter of the seats were uncontested where only a Sinn Fein candidate stood and while they had 69.5% of the seats they only gained 53.5% of the vote. With this apparent mandate Sinn Fein went ahead and set up Dail Eireann but this was not attended by the Ulster Unionists or the now almost defunct Irish Parliamentary Party., they chose instead to go to Westminster where the Ulster Unionists were the only Irish voices to be heard.

From the Paper
"Among the many serious problems facing American society today is the need to deliver effective educational services to an increasingly diverse population of students, both in terms of cultural and ethnic background as well as their levels of learning abilities. In an effort to "mainstream" as many learning disabled and minority children as possible into American classrooms, educators have been faced with a wide range of challenges and obstacles to providing this equitable distribution of educational services in a meaningful way. One of the major problems facing educators at all levels is students' ability to read in the first place. Without the ability to read efficiently, students are unable to achieve academic proficiency in almost any subject area without significant tutorial assistance and even then, the chances of success are not as great as if a child has already acquired the ability to read efficiently before entering the classroom."

Age-Related Vision Loss, 2007.
This paper discusses the issue of the loss of vision and focuses on ages-related vision loss.

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the possible causes of age-related vision loss. The writer looks into the matter of possible treatment for such kind of vision loss. Further the writer examines how vision loss may affect the person, physically, emotionally, intellectually and/or psychologically. The writer concludes that the effect of age-related vision loss is highly dependent on how the person accepts the severity of his or her case. For those who can accept it positively, they will then subject themselves for various treatments thereby minimizing the negative impact of vision loss. However, the writer points out that for those who may find it very hard to accept the fact that they are actually having difficulty to see things clearly, they would have the tendency not to seek any help or treatment from the registered medical professionals. This in turn would heighten the negative impact of their vision loss. This paper includes diagrams of statistics.

From the Paper
"Vision impairment is defined as the vision that is 20/40 or worse in the better eye even with glasses. In America, more or less 6.5 million people who have reached the age of 55 are suffering from blindness or severe vision loss. Further, it was also found out that one in every six people who reached the age of 65 and one in every three who reached 85 and above years old are having problems with some degree of vision loss. These numbers are continuously rising as the years go by. Indeed, age-related eye diseases are found to be the most common cause of blindness and vision impairment."

Sembene's and Mandela's Vision, 2002.
Compares and contrasts Ousmane Sembene's and Nelson Mandela's visions of a postcolonial Africa and argues that Mandela's vision is more realistic and realizable.

Abstract
Ousmane Sembene and Nelson Mandela offer two visions of postcolonial Africa. Mandela envisions the future as promising and sees the possibility of cooperation between former oppressors and victims. He sees the struggle through the lens of the individual and envisions humanity as frail and yet filled with courage. He is optimistic and forgiving. Sembene is not as forgiving and his vision is one more of protest. He does not see the possibility of cooperation and envisions the struggle through the lens of the collective, rather than through the individual. Overall, Mandela has the more realizable vision, because it is more tuned into the real world and understanding of human nature. There cannot be perfection and a society must ultimately try to reconcile its differences.

Feminist Visions, 2003.
Discusses the feminist vision in literature within the context of "Jane Eyre", by Charlotte Bronte, and "Wide Sargasso Sea", by Jean Rhys.

Abstract
Jean Rhys extends far past Charlotte Bronte's limitations, not only in the feminist vision, but also in her opinions of the post-colonial experience. Through "Jane Eyre", Bronte has a feminist vision, but in the 19th century, she was unable to view some of her patriarchal constraints. Jean Rhys, in "Wide Sargasso Sea", pulls back and stands apart, making her able to pick up where Bronte and other feminist writers have left off, and gives the readers a clear, uncensored vision. This paper states how Bronte is able to undermine part of her patriarchal constraints, but ends up falling short of her goal. It also shows how Rhys, who picks up the same storyline as Bronte, is able to overcome that patriarchy and truly have feminist visions.
From the Paper
"Rhys, now, takes up the feminist torch from Bronte and runs with it. Woolf seems surprised in A Room of One?s Own when a female author remarks that one woman likes another woman (82). Females always seem to be portrayed in relation to a man, but in Woolf?s instance it?s a woman-woman relationship. Rhys accomplishes multiple relationships between Antoinette and various female, and male, characters. It could be argued that the main relationship observed is Antoinette and Rochester?s, however I believe that she delves much deeper in female relations than Bronte achieves."

Vision in Hinduism, 2008.
An analysis of the role of vision in Hinduism.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in contrast to Western traditions where the transmission of sacred wisdom has been embodied within texts, the sacred world of Hinduism has interpreted images as "visual texts". The paper further suggests that, in Hinduism, it would be more accurate to say that vision is the intertwining of sensory perceptions, allowing a Hindu worshipper to become completely immersed both visually and emotionally in the presence of the divine. The paper goes on to discuss the importance of vision in Hinduism and concludes that to reduce vision to a Western conception of vision is to fail to look at reality from the eyes of a Hindu.
From the Paper
"According to Hindu mythology, it is the ever-watching eyes of the gods that allow the world's existence to continue. In one myth, Parvati, the female companion of Shiva, playfully covers his eyes, leaving the whole world encompassed in darkness (Eck 1). Another tale, this one describing the Mother Goddess, tells of how the world is dissolved or created based on whether her eyes are open (Clooney 97). Fortunately for existence, the Goddess never closes her eyes. Vision is sacred. Hindu worshippers placed before an image of a deity; hope to gain the darsan of the deity. Darsan literally translates as "seeing." (Eck 3). It can also be translated as an "auspicious sight." (Eck 3). "

Abstract
The paper is written around the quote that a company "can not progress without a common vision", by Warren Bennis. The writer shows how Charlotte Beers brought Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide advertising agency to success with her vision. The paper further discusses the role that personality and ego play in successful leadership, and concludes with a summary of Beer's success.
From the Paper
"The strong management style of Charlotte Beers suggests that she knew the importance of vision in leadership when she took control of the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide. At the time, the market situation of the once-great Ogilvy was as cold as the polar caps faced by the great Artic explorer Earnest Shackleton, as detailed in the book Shackleton's Way. (Morrell, et.al, 2002) Today, the Ogilvy website proudly proclaims itself as the generator of one of the most successful campaigns in recent memory, the Dove beauty product line that caught consumer's eyes with an edgy use of ordinary women."

Blindness and Vision in "Oedipus Rex", 2005.
Examines themes of blindness and vision in this play by Sophocles.
1,216 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 1 source, $ 41.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In his play, "Oedipus Rex," ancient Greek writer, Sophocles, invites us to ponder the nature of destiny and how, wise as we think ourselves, the very acts by which we work to avoid our fate only bring it rushing to meet us. Most of us have a good idea of what the concepts of blindness and vision mean and how they differ from one another. This paper shows, however, that Sophocles thinks otherwise and gives us good reason to wonder just how different they are from each other. In fact, by the time Oedipus stumbles beyond the gates of Thebes, we begin to realize just how entangled vision is with blindness, for nothing blinded Oedipus to the inevitability of his fate so well as having had it shown to him. Seeing his fate did not enlighten him; it put him in greater darkness.
From the Paper
"This is the biggest kind of blindness in Oedipus; the absolute inability of human beings to see all the myriad ways in which things work to bring us to our fates. Had Oedipus done what we flatter ourselves to think we would have done, namely consult the assumed parents with the new information before doing anything, and then sitting on our hands to make sure the prophecy didn't come to pass, it wouldn't have made any difference in the end. Had he become king of Corinth, at some point he would have had to go to war with Thebes, ended up killing Laius in open battle, and been forced by some obscure custom to marry the vanquished king's widow to retain the crown. In another sense, we are all Oedipus, trying to understand and outwit fate."

Abstract
This papers begins with Heward's chapter on blindness and low vision and their nature as sources of individuality and challenges in educational settings. It looks at how Heward favours understanding of the visually impaired as having a different perception of life and the world. He is also a proponent of rectifying Braille as compared to Internet sources selling appliances to aid blind, low vision students as though these were essential.
From the Paper
"Individuals faced with blindness or low vision as a lifelong or acquired disability are apt to confront a great variety of materials, especially, on subjects of adaptations that are possible to permit normal living, including the needs of Education. This paper explores a number of substantial Internet sites addressing blindness and low vision, directly, and with reference to other published material in William L. Heward's chapter on blindness and low vision in the 2002 edition of Exceptional Children - Introduction to Special Education (402-437)."
