Abstract
This paper examines how, since his first dance routine more than half a century ago, Paul Taylor has become one of the world's most popular and respected choreographers. His works are performed by companies throughout the globe. Taylor has created more than 150 dance pieces. It also discusses how his style is unique and how he is often seen as a distinctly American artist.

From the Paper
"As has been mentioned, central to works was the focus on the experiences of common human emotion. The works that he produces are essentially about the way that people feel and interact in relation to the social intuitions around them. The use of body language in his works includes a wide range of both physical motion and creative imagination. Most important in these works is the focus on the human condition. His style is based on the underlying basis of dance as the expression of human existence and experience."

Abstract
The moral stance on ethical vitalism affirms that living organisms deserve respect for their intrinsic self-worth. Humans, therefore, must simply have a certain ethical code of behavior toward nature. There approach to the living world must be life-centred, not human centred. This is the belief of Paul Taylor, who argues that the belief that human life is superior to any other living organism is flawed. While some of Taylor's assumptions have their own weakness, this essay will contend that his overall view is legitimate. There does need to be a moral stance on ethical vitalism. If there is not, then humans must concede their subjectivity in defining the worth of human and non-human life.

Abstract
The paper looks at how in his essay, "What's Wrong with Negative Liberty?" Charles Taylor argues against the conclusion that negative freedom is prior to, or more important than positive freedom. The paper shows how he argues against this conclusion in a variety of convoluted ways, and the paper asserts that this renders his arguments ineffective, for there is little focused, sustained, coherent argument evident in this essay. The paper explains that the primary basis of his arguments seems to be his contention that proponents of ideas of negative freedom propose too narrow a definition and only identify external obstacles to freedom.

Abstract
This paper examines Frederick Winslow Taylor's innovations in industrial engineering. The author focuses on his time and motion studies. The paper review his four principles of management.

From the Paper
"Frederick Taylor was a mechanical engineer whose writings on efficiency and scientific management were widely read by businesses. Taylor is a controversial figure in business management history. His innovations in industrial engineering particularly in time and motion studies resulted in dramatic improvements in productivity. Under Taylor's management system, supervisors managed factories through scientific methods rather than by use of the empirical rule of thumb to decide on what constitutes a fair day's work. The main elements of Taylor's scientific management include time studies, specialized supervision, standardization ..."

Abstract
This paper claims that Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, "Christabel," is an excellent illustration of the Gothic genre. The writer discusses the development of this style as a reaction to the "Age of Reason" and Enlightenment. The paper also discusses elements particular to the Gothic style and illustrates why "Christabel" is innovative, especially its fantastic and taboo topics. The paper explains that "Christabel" also serves to demonstrate Coleridge's impact on redirecting and revitalizing literature at the end of the 18th century.

From the Paper
"Along with William Wordsworth, Coleridge had an active hand in changing the face of poetry forever when they published their Lyrical Ballads in 1798. In this work, as well as his future work, Coleridge explored "the development of the human person, on how selves are made and lost," by introducing fantasy and innovative story lines that developed as the poem developed instead of simply focusing on a static "picture" or event (Taylor 707). This is a reflection of the times in which Coleridge lived. Much of the focus at this time was on the various scientific ideas that were in their infancy. Psychology and sociology were all but unheard of at the time, and so Coleridge's exploration of the inner self is truly innovative, but it was also his interest in things even more mysterious than this that likely generated the ideas for "Christabel." Since The Enlightenment advocated reason and logic above all other modes of thought and philosophy, this interest in the spiritual and illogical seems a natural backlash to the psychological and social pressures The Enlightenment placed on its most creative individuals.

Abstract
This paper considers the nature of the poetry of Edward Taylor as related to changes in Puritan doctrine over a century or so, beginning with changes in what has been called "the master idea" of the New England Puritans and the doctrine of the national covenant. According to this paper, the national covenant was entered into with God, a covenant that became a half-covenant, while Edwards still celebrated the deeper meaning of the covenant in his poetry.

From the Paper
"The Puritan era was not one long period of sameness, and many of the beliefs and attitudes of the Puritans changed over time. Some of these changes are reflected in the literature of the era, as in the works of Edward Taylor. Although Taylor supported the half-way covenant, his poems suggest an anxiety regarding election and God's grace more in keeping with earlier Puritanism. The Puritans followed what was called "the master idea" of the New England Puritans, the doctrine of the national covenant, a covenant entered into with God. Because of this covenant, the Puritans invested the colony with a legitimacy that transcended the royal prerogative: As the current repository of God's truth, the destiny of the settlement was linked to a far grander imperative. The measure of New England was the success with which the community fulfilled its covenantal obligation to God (Weisman 121)."

Abstract
This article on reverse discrimination applies the concept of Paul Taylor.

Abstract
The paper studies the ethical and philosophical side of the worldwide tragedy of global warming. Looking at texts by noted environmental ethicists such as Erazim Kohak, Paul W. Taylor and Peter Singer, the paper looks at causes of global warming, efforts to reverse and stop global warming and just how responsible we as human beings are for the earth's well-being.

From the Paper
"In today's world of tsunamis and fires and other natural disasters, there seems to be little that measly man can do to halt his own destruction by Mother Nature. Houses and buildings can only be built so soundly, so much caution can only be taken. Yet, some of nature's ravages can be halted, or could have been avoided, had man possessed more accurate foresight and less greed and apathy. One of these occurrences in nature is global warming. This phenomenon is the increase over the course of time of the temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans. Global warming is a concern, as if it is left unchecked, it will very likely have a severely adverse effect upon the global environment and economy, through it's damaging of agriculture and livable areas."

Abstract
This paper examines Dorothea lange's famous controversial photograph: "Migrant Mother". The author looks at how the photograph became a symbol for propaganda for the New Deal. This photograph caused a stir in the government and became a controversial topic. The author looks at the career of Dorothea Lange and her involvement in government.

From the paper:

"Dorothea Lange's "documentary" photograph, Migrant Mother, became a symbol for a plethora of causes after successfully being created as propaganda to legitimize the New Deal. When Dorothea Lange shot Migrant Mother, she had completed her transition from portraitist to documentary photography and was working with the Farm Security Administration. Lange's work was required to fit the New Deal's ideology handed down from the Roosevelt administration. In order to achieve these mandates, Lange significantly manipulated her subjects. Due to these actions, her photograph is easily adaptable. Migrant Mother not only catalyzed relief aid to the migrants; people later manipulated it into other symbols."
