Abstract
This paper takes a look at Wave Hill, a nineteenth century mansion set invitingly among trees and flowers in the northwest Bronx, looking out over the sparkling Hudson River and beyond, toward the towering cliffs of the Palisades. According to the paper, Wave Hill is among the last survivors of the great houses that once lined the banks of the Hudson from the Island of Manhattan to far upstate.

From the Paper
"Others, including one of Wave Hill's most famous guests/residents, Theodore Roosevelt, took away a different, and more wide-reaching, message from the Hudson River School's attempts to capture nature in her glory and decline. The Roosevelt Family rented Wave Hill for a number of summers in the 1870s. Thus, the house was familiar to Theodore Roosevelt as a young man. Clearly, its beautiful setting helped to shape his adult views in regard to the natural world. Theodore Roosevelt would later travel widely in the United States, and around the globe, visiting many remote places hardly touched by the hands of human beings. On his journeys, Roosevelt witnessed nature in all her purity, in places that most residents of gigantic cities, like New York, would never visit. Though these locations were far from the ever-expanding realm of industries, and hundreds or even thousands of miles away from the dark and crowded tenements of Manhattan and Brooklyn, Roosevelt realized that they represented an aspect of the Earth that needed to be preserved. Roosevelt, schooled literally in the lessons of Wave Hill, and growing up in the shadow of the Hudson River School, would become a leading advocate of the Conservation Movement. "

Abstract
It is always important to remember that there are many feminisms, despite bell hook's desire to have one simple definition of the movement. Each of the women represented in The Second Wave has a specific standpoint on many different questions in the field. What would three of these theorists have to say about Carol Gilligan's work if put on a panel to critique it? In the following pages, the intention is to explore the perspectives of Uma Narayan, Elsa Barkley Brown, and Patricia Hill Collins.

"Gilligan and Other Theorists

Introduction
It is always important to remember that there are many feminisms, despite bell hook's desire to have one simple definition of the movement. Each of the women represented in The Second Wave has a specific standpoint on many different questions in the field. What would three of these theorists have to say about Carol Gilligan's work if put on a panel to critique it? In the following pages, the intention is to explore the perspectives of Uma Narayan, Elsa Barkley Brown, and Patricia Hill Collins.

Brown's emphasis is on the politics of difference which is certainly what Gilligan's work supports. While Brown is looking ..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath is one of the more provocative feminist tracts of the 1960s because it poignantly and powerfully captures the angst of an early second-wave feminist, Esther Greenwood, as she grapples with making it in a tough man's world - all the while tormented by what society expects from her as a woman. This paper explores how the title suggests the profound sense of imprisonment and entrapment that Esther experiences in 1950s New York; the paper also notes that, whilst it is easy to blame Esther's problems on "the patriarchy," it is only appropriate to note that Esther is a woman who is emotionally frail and perhaps not up to the challenges confronting her in a tough profession marked by professional greed, politicking and hyper-competition. In any case, the paper asserts that even if one concedes that Esther's setbacks are not entirely the fault of others, there is little question that she finds herself in a world wherein women are defined by their biological capacity to have children; they are deemed ill-suited for anything else.

Abstract
The paper shows how the Big Wave Cruise organization must make some significant changes to their human resources strategies in order to become more competitive in an increasingly competitive industry. The paper discusses how the organization does not have the level of employee commitment to the organization that is so critical to its success. The paper contends that Big Wave Cruise must address the training issue currently plaguing the company, the perception and/or reality of an excessive workload on employees and the unacceptable compensation plan.

Outline:
Introduction
Division of Labor at Big Wave Cruise
The Perception of Lack of Skills by Big Wave Employees
The Perception of Excessive Workload by Big Wave Employees
Inadequate Compensation Received by Big Wave Cruise Employees
Conclusion

From the Paper
"The cruise industry is a hyper-competitive industry, as the Big Wave Cruise organization has discovered. Even with the phenomenal growth rate of the industry, Big Wave has felt the increased competition as competitors enter the market with newer ships, better technology, and more exotic destinations. Add to this challenge the increased demand from customers for higher levels of customer service, including 24-hour entertainment options and catering, and it becomes clear that even a well positioned cruise line is bound to feel the strains from increased threats in the industry. For Big Wave Cruise, these threats are compounded by internal weaknesses specifically within their human resource strategies."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Joe Hill is more than the subject of a ballad; he was a union organizer who was arrested, convicted and executed for murders that he probably did not commit. The paper explains that Joe Hill was a danger to industrialists who saw him and his kind as dangerous in their organzing pursuit for the IWW. The paper discusses how Hill's legacy continues today.

From the Paper
"Joe Hill was more than just the subject of a folk ballad by Alfred Hayes and Earl Robinson. Actually, Hill's real name was Joel Hagglund. He was born on Oct. 7, 1879, in Gavle, Sweden. He was a union organizer in the first decade of the Twentieth Century at a time when unions were struggling to get wages and benefits and decent safe places to work. A Swedish immigrant, he ended up traveling around the country doing odd jobs whenever he could find them. Those years were not kind to newcomers, any more than to American workers because of the difficult economic times. The relevance of Joe Hill really deals with the opposition by many to..."

Abstract
This paper examines how Marlo Thomas's children's book, "Free To Be You and Me", published in 1974, is a prime example of second-wave feminist activism. It looks at how, unlike first-wave feminism, typified by the suffrage movement and personified by women like Susan B. Anthony, second-wave feminism had two primary agendas, which can be seen in Thomas's novel. It attempts to show how second-wave feminism, with such slogans as "the personal is the political," and the ideology of consciousness raising, are implicitly, as well as explicitly, exemplified in "Free to Be You and Me".

From the Paper
"Millett's highly influential text led women to see patriarchy as ever-present and ever-expansive. Women's oppression was not only played out in the traditional political structures that first wave feminists had identified (legal, economic, educational), but it was also played out in women's minds and bodies. Hence, rejecting gender conditioning and fighting for reproductive choice became key second wave issues. The short skits and catchy songs of Thomas's storybook were meant to stop gender conditioning at the core; the most influential period, childhood. Titles like "Housework," "Ladies First," and "Grandma," identify and attempt to dismantle many commonly held gender stereotypes of the 1970s, and contradict most other books and programming available for children at that time."

Abstract
This paper examines the Castle Hill Show from an event management perspective focusing on issues such as conduct, waste and risk management, site communication, queue management and emergency strategies.

From the Paper
"The most common occurrence of a risk exposure at an event is that of an attendee tripping, slipping or falling over. (Johnson, D., 1997, p205) Therefore it was surprising to discover that the ground surrounding the general attendee parking area at this event was uneven and unsurfaced. . In order to then gain access to the main areas of the showground it was also necessary to climb rocky embankments especially dangerous in wet weather. It would appear that this event failed to identify the potential risks these rocky areas represented to both attendees and their vehicles. (Newell, M., & Grashina, M., 2004, p177)"

Abstract
This paper analyzes the history and political impact of the Czech film industry while focusing on the emergence of the Czech new wave movement, so called because it represented a break from the dominant film styles that preceded it. This paper details the differences and similarities between Czech new wave films and other films from the same region which yielded much insight into the characteristics and virtues of this particular movement. In order to better understand the Czech new way movement, this paper contains a brief yet concise account of the Czech film industry in the first half of the 20th century as it is related to Czech history as well as samplings from the social, political and economic realms. This paper also details the characteristics of the Czech new wave movement as well as relevant information regarding how the movement contrasted with what came before it.

From the Paper
"Under pressure from Hitler, Czechoslovakia collapsed in 1939 and was divided into a number of separate regions with different ultimate fates. The film studios that had been built in Czechoslovakia were taken over by the German film industry, which used them mainly to produce artful yet propagandistic films to garner Nazi support throughout the 1940s. This continued until 1944, when the area was liberated by Soviet troops. A new Republic of Czechoslovakia was formed, but it was not artistically fruitful. In 1947, a communistic government was established after a coup in Czechoslovakia."

Abstract
The paper looks at three modern Black feminists and shows how modern Black feminism is plagued by exclusionary principles. The paper examines Kimberly Springer's critique of the wave theory of feminism and how Sheila Radford-Hill responds to Springer by reinforcing the idea that there is one Black feminism to fit all modern Black women. The paper explores how Jennifer Hamer and Helen Neville take a more dogmatic approach to Black feminism than either Springer or Radford-Hill. The paper concludes that a way to increase the participation of young Black women in the modern feminist movement is to return to classical feminism, but together with an education about the pivotal role that Black women have always played in the feminist movement.

From the Paper
"One of the most striking features about modern Black feminist writing is that, despite frank discussions of the limitations of classical feminism in the lives of Black women, Black feminists seem reluctant to discuss the limitations of Black feminism in its application to the real lives of most Black women. Because Black feminism continues to make assumptions about women, which may not accurately reflect the goals and aspirations of Black women, especially poor Black women, Black feminism, like classical feminism, continues to be a theory by and for the middle class. As such, Black feminism does little to redress the very social inequities that it perceives as both result and cause of institutionalized and de facto racism and sexism in America. In fact, Black feminists, like Black activists of prior generations, still place more emphasis on race than gender, which marginalizes women of all ages."

Abstract
The paper discusses how, at the start of this decade, there were local politicians and urban planners who are targeting the moraine for a new housing development; as well, in Richmond Hill, there was an ongoing battle unfolding over plans to build a sprawling series of sub-divisions that would house 100,000 people that would bury a huge swath of the moraine under a concrete tidal wave. Finally, the paper relates that in Caledon region, proposals were sounded that called for the introduction of quarries - quarries which it was feared might cause harm to natural habitats and to groundwater reserves (Bocking, 2001).

From the Paper
"In recent years, there has been a fierce debate taking place over the future of the Oak Ridge Moraine. To be more specific, at the start of this decade, there were local politicians and urban planners who are targeting the moraine for a new housing development; as well, in Richmond Hill, there was an ongoing battle unfolding over plans to build a sprawling series of sub-divisions that would house 100,000 people that would bury a huge swath of the moraine under a concrete tidal wave.
