Abstract
This paper examines how although "King Lear" by William Shakespeare, "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald and "Fifth Business" by Robertson Davies, are all very different works from different times and places, the main characters all possess a similar downfall or fatal flaw: They cannot distinguish true love from false love. It attempts to show how as a result, King Lear loses his kingdom and his life and how Nick Carraway, the narrator of "The Great Gatsby", gets involved with a dangerous, immoral crowd and undergoes a personal struggle with his own morals and lifestyle. It also looks at how Dunstan Ramsay, the narrator of "Fifth Business, tells the tale of his life, throughout which he suffers because of his inability to let go of a woman from his past.

From the Paper
"In the Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway goes through his own hardships and makes his own mistakes. Most of these, like those of Lear, stem from his inability to distinguish between true and false love. He has an infatuation for Daisy Buchanan (one shared by many characters in the novel), and begins an affair with Jordan Baker, a cynical golfer. The problem, of course, is that he mistakes the infatuation or lust he has in the presence of these two women for real emotion, for real love. Because of this, he believes that they care for him, in some way at least, and that they are good people. As he finds out later, however, this is not the case."

Abstract
Summary: The repressed/false memory debate is marked by sharp polarities of what Loftus terms firm believers and skeptics who "point to the reconstructive nature of memory and ask for evidence and corroboration". The debate is far from theoretical since individual's reputations and futures are at stake. While the claims and arguments on both sides of the controversy will be discussed, the purpose here is to explore the nature of memory, repression and dissociation to determine if therapists can distinguish between true and false memories of childhood trauma.

Abstract
This paper presents a research proposal for looking at whether or not a therapist can implant false memories in a patient. The paper evaluates the issue and suggests a methodology for studying this issue.

From the Paper
"Davis and Dalgleish state that false memory syndrome is one of the most controversial issues in the mental health field, noting that essentially it involves recollection of memories usually of sexual abuse that were either falsely programmed or which are legitimately recovered. Bjorklund spells the notion of false memory syndrome out in more detail conceptualizing it as a condition in which an individual's identity and interpersonal relationships center around a..."

Abstract
The paper begins by examining Stella Ting-Toomey's face - negotiation theory into which Ting-Toomey has integrated Hofsteade's method of classifying cultures as high-context or low-context. Next, the author relates Ting-Toomey' research study to study if this theory, developed in the 1990s, still holds. Subsequently, the paper evaluates sociolinguist Deborah Tannen's 'face' theories about the ways that women communicate as compared to men.

From the Paper
"According to sociolinguist Deborah Tannen, women often deploy self-effacing strategies to prevent the other person from losing face. This goes beyond merely women saying 'don't worry about it' when another person makes an error, but may even extend to apologizing when the other individual is actually at fault, or deflating their own competence, even when they know what they are doing. However, as males are less intent upon maintaining a sense of intimacy and harmony in relationships, men often mistake this female communication strategy as real information, and real self-effacement."

Abstract
The paper relates that the movie "Face" was full of emotional upheaval and heartache. The paper explains that a mother becomes estranged from her daughter, which is emotionally straining; the same woman leaves a marriage because of hatred for her husband; and the daughter eventually falls in love with someone outside her culture despite the negative emotions from her family. The paper shows how each of these emotional issues in the movie lends to the understanding of how human beings process situations and the behavior that follows due to feelings and emotions.

Abstract
This paper examines research about coerced-internalized false confessions, which occur when innocent suspects actually believe that he or she is guilty of the crime; many of which are the result of police interrogation in which deceptive and deceitful practices may be used and accepted by the judicial system. The author points out that the article "The Social Psychology of False Confessions" tested the hypothesis that the presentation of false evidence can lead individuals who are vulnerable to confess to an act, which they did not commit, and, more important, to internalize the confession and perhaps confabulate details in memory consistent with that new belief. The paper relates that the researchers used an experimental method, which the paper describes, and concludes that this experiment was well-executed and well-reported.

From the Paper
"There were two independent variables in this experiment. First, the subject's level of vulnerability was manipulated by varying the pace of the task. Therefore, the confederate read at either a fast or slow pace. Second, the experimenters varied the use of false incrimination evidence. The confederates either "witnessed" or acknowledged the mistake or some confederates did not "witness", or see the subject touch the ALT key. The dependent variable was the confessions. Three forms of social influence were evaluated: compliance, internalization, and confabulation. To assess compliance, the experimenter handwrote a confession and asked the subject to sign it. "

Abstract
In Malcolm Gladwell's article "The Naked Face" (New Yorker: August 5, 2002), the author discusses the results taken from years of study of facial expressions and how facial expressions help reveal the true purpose of an individual. Gladwell suggests that these findings indicate that all human beings share similar facial expressions and that if these expressions can be understood, then this understanding has potential benefits for all aspects of society, from psychology to law enforcement. This paper investigates two subjects and their facial expressions as they recount stories with emotional content in order to address the veracity of Gladwell's article.
