Abstract
What type of philosophy should teenagers have about working part-time jobs after school and during the summer? It is important to remember that philosophy comes from two Greek words. Philo means love and Sophia means wisdom. This paper discusses the philosophy of teenagers who hold part-time jobs and suggests that teenagers benefit from their part-time jobs. The paper asserts that these teenagers are informed and influenced by their work, learn a better understanding about life, and learn important values.

Abstract
The paper discusses "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf", a play featuring seven women, and the tales they tell which are all related to different periods in time. The paper examines how the women recount aspects of their lives primarily as memory, showing that they are bound with time to the degree that they are remembering it and acting it out for the audience once more, while being free enough from time to bring all memories into the performance present. The paper also compares other expressionist plays such as "The Lesson" by Eugene Ionesco and "Endgame" by Samuel Beckett to Shange's work.

From the Paper
"Realism and expressionism are matters of point of view and resulting style. Realism looks at the world as it appears objectively, while expressionism is a reaction against current ideas of realism. The inner psychology of the mind is considered a more important reality than the external reality depicted by earlier playwrights, and indeed the inner reality may be the only reality. Expressionist drama is often more theatrical in shaping a reality that exists only on stage as a deliberate representation of the inner mental states of characters. The two trends can exist in some degree at the same time in a given play--The Zoo Story is realistic in some respects but expressionistic in the way it isolates these two individuals in a seeming limbo so that they are not really in a park near a zoo but are instead types battling over mental states, attitudes, and visions of society. Expressionist drama tends to place the individual against a dehumanizing society. This theme can be explored in realist drama as well, but the staging in expressionist drama takes the action from the real world and builds an image of the inner mental state of the individual as a staging ground for the action."

Abstract
This paper reviews and compares two poems: "I Cannot Remember All the Times..." (1989) written by Jo Carson and "My Papa's Waltz" (1948) written by Theodore Roethke. Both poems explore ideas of abuse in the perspective of the person that is on the receiving side. Carson's poem talks of abuse from a boyfriend or husband while Roethke speaks of abuse of a child from a father. The paper examines how the different poetic elements such as sound, imagery, and symbolism are important to the themes of each poem and contribute to the understanding of the poems because they heighten the emotion and allow the reader to feel what the speaker is going through. The paper also looks at how one of the most relevant of these elements is the speaker/auditor relationship in each poem.

From the Paper
"In "My Papa's Waltz", the speaker appears to be a child speaking to his father and reflecting on what seems to be an abusive relationship. Although it is not universally agreed that this is a poem about child abuse, there are many images and diction choices that seem to point to that theme. There is a very simple rhyme scheme of ABAB and the poem is written in iambic trimeter so, there are important stresses on particular words that need to be followed. For example, in the first stanza, "But I hung on like death" (line 3), the word "death", the third stanza, "Was battered on one knuckle;" (10) the word "battered" and the fourth stanza, "You beat time on my head" (13) the word "beat". These words that are forced to have the stress contribute to a negative tone, especially within the rest of the context of the poem. The meter in this poem shows which words should be paid more attention to and which words have more importance."

Abstract
This paper analyzes several pieces of ancient literature in order to shed some light on the roles that women played in ancient times and how they were viewed by society. The paper examines Hesiod's "Theogony" and "Works and Days", Sophocles' "Antigone", Aristophanes' "Lysistrata", Homer's "Odyssey", Virgil's "Aeneid" and Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics". The paper concludes that, while the heroines and major female characters in these ancient works are certainly worth examination and study, it must be remembered that they are unrealistic in the light of normal ancient life, and that in reality women were barely given any attention at all.

From the Paper
"In ancient times, and in ancient Greece most of all, women were usually treated almost as less than human. Men seemed to deal with them as a necessary evil that was kept around for the sole purpose of providing sons. As F.G. Naerebout says, "Whatever else [they] may do - weaving, spinning, directing the female staff - is a pleasant extra (Naerebout 124)." Yet this was not always the case. There are cases in ancient writings where women are shown in a positive light, even cases where women are heroes. Here we shall examine separately each work in which women played a major role, either positive or negative."

Abstract
The paper explains that a project management software package is designed to assist in managing a project, but that project is controlled by the project manager, not a software package because there are both benefits and inherent limitations to using project management software, which the project manager must understand. The author stresses that the manager must first establish the basic blueprint of the project before beginning a project in a software package and must always remember projects have a way of becoming living entities with their own unique obstacles, requiring more than making sure everything goes according to the printed software plan, or the project is doomed to failure. The paper creates a hypothetical project to demonstrate the strategic points of this software.

From the Paper
"In other words, a project manager has to maintain the political and social aspects of the project and software has its limitations in these respects. Having the ability to effectively communicate with all relevant parties is a key to managing a successful project. Software can not make a project manager speak and listen effectively or to receive verbal confirmation that all is well or in need of change. It is necessary to regularly communicate verbally with individual members, stakeholders and peers in order to evaluate the project from different perspectives. Software and written reports may in many situations be a waste of a team's time when a brief conversation will suffice. Software also cannot replace a face-to-face meeting, telephone call or voice mail in most situations."

Abstract
The paper describes how "The Time of the Doves" conveys Spanish society as a hard working but politically divided people during the early 20th century while "The Family of Pascual Duarte" paints a dimmer picture of Spanish life as showcased by the lowest member of society remembering his crimes. The paper identifies the differences and similarities both between these two novels. The paper concludes that these two detailed stories come together to create a fictionally written, yet historically accurate, picture of the struggles and confusion of the Spanish people's identity during this time.

From the Paper
"The Time of the Doves is a novel that deals with the heartbreak and disappointment of a young Spanish woman's life before, during, and after the Spanish Civil War. This average woman, named Natalia begins her life working a classically romantic Spanish job in a pastry bakery in the beautiful cit of Barcelona. Soon she meets a charming but strange man and marries him quickly there after. Their life together is simple but honest as they struggle to survive as a family living within the beautiful but politically divided city of Barcelona. This story embodies a great amount of Spanish culture dealing with a cross between life being rich versus life being almost unbearable."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although historical facts are supposed to be objective, historical remembrances are based on emotion and are equivocal and biased due to the varying viewpoints and the prejudices of the time. The author reviews, from this perspective, (1) Edward Ball's "Slaves in the Family", an investigation of his family's history as slave owners in South Carolina, (2) Tim O'Brien's novel "The Things They Carried", a glimpse into the world of the Vietnam War and the "truths" of its vulgarity, and (3) Sherman Alexie's "The Case of Thomas Builds-the-Fire", about the 1858 murder trial of Builds-the-Fire, who is accused of killing Colonel Steptoe. The paper concludes that it is difficult to try to rationalize and analyze past wars and terrible events because they are bound by prejudices, cultural taboos, misconceptions and madness.

From the Paper
"The Civil War was not so long ago, but its legacy still affects us; its stories are the notions of times gone, yet they are as true as the feeling they incite. A collection of interviews and document analysis is the basis for the factual book, "Slaves in the Family" by Edward Ball. Ball investigates his family's history as slave owners in South Carolina. South Carolina was the leader of inducing civil war when it seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860. Edward Ball is the great-grand son of Isaac, the Confederate ..., who obviously fought for the Confederacy during the American Civil War."

Conclusions

From the Paper
"The crisis situation resulting in Ronald Reagan's rise to power was the Iranian Hostage event. In 1979 the ruler or Shah of Iran was overthrown by fundamentalist Muslims, younger citizens, college-age students that stormed the US embassy in Tehran and took US hostages, holding them for 444 days (Cannon, 2001; Sharpe & Pemberton, 1998; Henry & Ritter, 1992). This whole event occurred at the end of Jimmy Carter's first term in office, and became a very serious issue in the following election. Ultimately, Ronald Reagan won a very big victory because of this. Ronald did run a couple of times however for President before coming to office. His first loss was in 1976 when he ran against Ford; however, this time Reagan had a strong defense platform, and a campaign he focused on the return of "America to greatness" which helped build his power, reputation and campaign (Young, 2004, p. 18)."

Abstract
Wireless communications and networks very possibly represent one of the greatest technical innovations of the twentieth century. The effect that this kind of technology is having on the development of Western society at the dawn of the twenty first society is truly fantastic, especially for those who can still remember a time before wireless networks and technology, or at least a time when they were much more a novelty than a way of life. This paper shows how wireless networks quite literally have integrated themselves with many aspects of society from work to play to communications. The paper examines some of the basic history of wireless networks, the simpler-than-it-sounds operation of these networks, and some of the applications that these networks have to offer.
