From the Paper
"The following paper will briefly explore why the Quakers were viewed as being such dangerous non-conformists in seventeenth century England and seventeenth-century New England. Most of all, it appears as though the Quakers were feared - even hated - on both sides of the Atlantic for a host of reasons: in England, they constituted a threat to the established order and seemed like the leaders of a new popular movement that might unbind the working poor from their shackles; they were likewise perceived as being unsupportive of Charles II when he took back the throne and..."

Abstract
This essay argues that Franklin was strongly and positively influenced by Quakers even though he was critical of them. Despite his open criticism of their devious ways, the essay argues that Franklin, through his association with the Quakers in governance, absorbs many of their defining qualities, such as their work ethic and their transcendence of creeds. It goes on to argue further that Franklin finally becomes the personification of the Quaker ideals.

From the Paper
"Benjamin Franklin is the archetypal American. Many consider him to have set the example of self-reliance that inspired Americans towards self-governance. In other words, he is considered to be the key inspiration behind the American Revolution. In this essay I assess the key to Franklin's success by examining his relationship to the Quakers. There is no doubt that the sect of the Quakers is also instrumental towards the emergence of the American nation. Overall Franklin does not view the Quakers in a positive light. In parts of his autobiography he describes their fanaticism as disrupting practical governance. In the governing council of Philadelphia, he shows the Quakers taking impossible and hypocritical stances only to maintain their strict anti-war principle. However, I will argue that Franklin adopts many of the admirable traits of the Quaker, and that in this way the Quakers were a positive influence on him.
"John Adams assesses Franklin correctly when he makes the profound observation: ''The Catholics thought him almost a Catholic. The Church of England claimed him as one of them. The Presbyterians thought him half a Presbyterian, and the Friends believed him a wet Quaker'' (Nicholls 113)."

Abstract
The old saying, "The branch doesn't fall too far from the tree," might be one way to characterize Quakerism in England and in colonial America. This paper explains why this saying is relevant to Quaker women and the activities of women in the world beyond the sect. The paper shows why Quakers were considered, unlike the Papists and Protestants, to be of another stripe entirely, not only in their relationship to the concept of God, but in the relationships between their men and their women, and, more to the point for this examination, of their women toward the world.

From the Paper
"Some historians believe the Quaker hangings, especially of women, actually marked a turning point in New England's tolerance of different religions. The Friends had practiced gentle stoicism, which the magistrates were vicious and brutal by contrast and even other Puritans were bothered by it. By the later 1660s, the value of crushing dissent at any cost was no longer clear, either in the colonies or England. (Bonomi 29)"

Abstract
This paper provides an insight into the Quaker Oats Company, a manufacturer and marketer of packaged food and sports beverage products. It shows how the company manufactures hot and ready-to-eat cereals, pancake syrups, grain-based snacks, cornmeal, hominy grits and flavored rice products and how it owns numerous trademarks such as Quaker, Cap'n Crunch, Life, Quaker Toasted Oatmeal and Gatorade products. It examines the history of the company from its foundation in 1901, when several American pioneers in oat milling joined together to incorporate under the name the Quaker Oats Company to the multi million company it is today. It looks at some of its marketing techniques and some of the manufacturing processes.

From the Paper
"The Quaker Oats Company markets many of its products to children. Perhaps one of its best examples is what it has done with its breakfast cereal, Cap'n Crunch. Created in 1963, Cap'n Horatio Crunch is a fun-loving sea captain cartoon character. According to Quaker Oats and its marketing department, he was born and raised on Crunch Island, which is located in the Milk Sea. He wears a blue captain's uniform, and a large blue captain's hat. His ship is the S.S. Guppy, which he sails with his first mate, Seadog (1963), and his crew of four kids. Their mission is to keep the cargo hold of cereal from falling into the hands of Jean La Foote the Barefoot Pirate (1968). Competition for the market share will continue to be fierce among major U.S. food companies. Kellogg's, Post, and General Mills. Relying on heavy advertisement support, the companies " including Quaker Oats " will continue to fight for market share.""

Abstract
The paper describes the cardboard Quaker oatmeal box and its functionality. The paper looks at the easy access box as well as the packets inside that are specifically designed for ease of access and convenience.

From the Paper
"The chosen object is a Quaker Oatmeal Box (QOB) which is designed to hold smaller packets of the actual oatmeal product. Typically there are 10 smaller packets of oatmeal that are included inside the box although there are, periodically, special sales QOBs that come with expanded capacities offering a bonus two additional oatmeal packets. However, the object of study is the standard 10 packet QOB. The QOB itself is just over 73/4" in length and just under 5" in height while being almost 3" in width ("Instant")."

From the Paper
"In 1996, more than 10,000 mergers took place. Merging has become a trendy activity but only a few mergers have succeeded. Mergers offer several advantages some of them are to maximize profits, to increase market share, to offer a quick growth, to strengthen market position and to unify sales. Are they guaranteed to succeed? It is difficult to predict and yet companies keep on merging."

From the Paper
"This paper is an examination of the role of members of the Society of Friends in the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692. The trials had their beginnings in 1691, the year that George Fox, founder of the Quaker movement, died. These two events suggest the worst and the best aspects of religious freedom in America. The trials show the dangers associated with unchecked, fanatical belief, while Fox's followers demonstrate the transcending power of humanism and universal tolerance. These two conflicting forces illustrate the very human need to find meaning and a sense of control in the face of fear, uncertainty, and mortality.

The religious order that grew to be known as Quakerism had its roots in the writings of an Englishman named George Fox. First published in 1647, Fox spoke of his sense of the "Christ..."

Abstract
The following discussion provides an analysis of the work of Margaret Fell, who spent much of her time promoting the causes and beliefs of the Quaker faith. The writer points out that much of her work is based upon her contribution to the Quakers, but this may also be extended to the interest in her contribution to the female cause in a society that did not respect women under any circumstances.
