Abstract
In the 1950s, "Pizza Hut" opened a pizza parlor that changed the way American's feed their families, and became the largest pizza franchise in the country. Other pizza franchises have also become household names, such as "Dominoes" and "Little Caesar's", but "Pizza Hut" remains the most successful and well known. In order to understand why Pizza Hut has become comparable to such franchise legends as "McDonald's" and "Taco Bell", this paper compares aspects of this business's performance to its competitors. One such competitor is "Papa John's Pizza," which has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. The paper shows that "Pizza Hut" meets or exceeds "Papa John's" standards in customer service, delivery time and understanding of their customers' needs.

From the Paper
"Pizza Hut also appears to excel at the advertising and marketing campaigns that it uses to reach out to customers. In 2000, Pizza Hut won a lawsuit which required Papa John's to pull it's "better ingredients, better pizza" slogan from all of its marketing materials within three weeks (Pizza, 2000). This lawsuit was first filed in 1998 because Pizza Hut believed that Papa John's was misleading the public in saying that their pizza sauce and crust was fresher than it actually was (Maxon, 1998). Basically, Papa John's stores their pizza crusts from four to six days after they are shipped from central creation points to the stores, and they also use canned sauce, which Pizza Hut believes shows that their claims of freshness are not appropriate (Maxon, 1998)."

Economic elasticities, cost structures, and the nature of demand was also explored and analyzed. Hofstede's theory of cultural dimension was briefly explored in the Czech Republic context.

From the Paper
" The Czech Republic has a history embroiled with communism and totalitarianism. It has been five years after the democratic revolution and elements of the economic, political and social aspects still linger within the Czech Republic. It is therefore useful to analyze the cultural differences between the Czech Republic and the United States as a prerequisite to understanding the necessary business risks, which Chicago Style Pizza will face following its expansion into the Czech Republic ("Czech Republic", 2006, p 2). History of the Czech Republic..."

Abstract
The paper relates that although he played a crucial role in the division of the Thirteen American Colonies from the British Empire, John Hancock is not granted the same historical prominence as many of the other Founding Fathers. The paper notes that he is best remembered for his famous and giant signature on the Declaration of Independence (Eddlem, 2003). The paper discusses how the contributions of figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and even the Adams family are well known and well documented, however, John Hancock's pivotal place in the events leading up to the American Revolution and its aftermath are less clearly understood. The paper asserts that despite this gap between the historical evidence and the public's knowledge, it is evident that John Hancock's political and social leadership made him a significant figure in the tumultuous events surrounding the birth of the American nation. the paper believes that without his involvement, the development of that nation would have had to take a much different path-if it could have succeeded at all.

From the Paper
"In order for one to aptly grasp the full spectrum of information that this research based analysis offers, it is crucial for the reader to understand the title of this work; The Christology of the Gospel of John, and what the words Gospel and Christology truly signify. Gospel, as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary, 'The glad tidings (of the kingdom of God)' announced to the world by Jesus Christ. Hence, the body of religious doctrine taught by Christ and His apostles; the Christian revelation, religion or dispensation (OED). Secondly, the word Christology, as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary, is that part of theology which relates to Christ; a doctrine or theory concerning Christ (OED). With these definitions, it is easy to ascertain the fact that this scholarly text will not be a simple summary and commentary of the gospel of John's accounts of Jesus, but will be a comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the many facets entwined within the gospel's structure. As a result of the six page restraint placed upon this dissertation, the text will mainly focus upon the issues of authorship surrounding John's gospel, as well as providing a special focus on the Christological/Theological differences evident between John's Gospel and the three synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This text will take into consideration and incorporate details concerning the context (time/place of composition) of John's Gospel, possible sources contributed in the Gospel's construction, and unique literary features that enable the reader's a better understanding of the Gospel's literary style and technique."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Iconoclastic Controversy. The author talks about John of Damascus' defense of icons at a time when there was debate about whether icons should be used in worship or if they were idolatrous. The essay lists several of John's points and looks at both the positive and negative aspects of each point.

From the Paper
"It seems that art is such a natural part of everyday life. It would be difficult to picture a world where art was not involved. From the flower pots outside on the window sill to the mounted picture in the living room, art pervades every aspect of our lives. It is difficult to imagine that there was a controversy over whether such type pf media should be allowed in a Church setting. The word icon usually describes "those religious pictures-mainly portable wood panel paintings-which have a prominent place in the life and worship of the Eastern Orthodox Churches" (Baggley, 1). The Iconoclasm controversy dealt with the debate over whether painted images of the Divine Christ were valid or idolatrous. Popular culture felt that the icon was a necessary part of their worship because it gave them a sense of understanding. It gave the worshipper a visual image of what he/she was praying to and so, made the person feel that his/her prayers were not futile and wasted. However, it was these exact beliefs that sparked the controversy, but also led to the writings in defence of the images. John of Damascus was one of the greatest Christian defenders of the iconodule position (Sch?nobon, 192)."
