Abstract
This paper consists of an interview with a woman who was born in Los Angeles in 1932, during the Depression to a black mother and a Mexican citizen father who had immigrated to the United States. In the paper, the interviewee speaks of her life growing up in Los Angeles and some of the challenges she faced due to her unusual parentage. She also discusses some information about her father Renaldo and how he came to America, and the experiences he had here and how he ultimately met and married her mother, Violetta. The paper also includes some discussion based upon what the interviewee learned in her studies of race and ethnicity and how one distinguishes different aspects of one's background and culture, and how this affects one's relationships with other members of the community. Finally, the paper includes a brief discussion of her siblings and her own grown children, and the decisions they themselves made in terms of selecting what they felt to be the most appropriate genetic matches for themselves, taking into account the experiences of their mother.
From the Paper
"Mrs. Diaz notes that her own reading and study has taught her that "Latin" is not a racial designation, but a language designation. While her Mexican father spoke Spanish, racially he was known as a mestizo, partly of Spanish descent and partly of Aztec descent, but, she tells us, "even he could not say in exactly what proportion," since an exact genealogy was long ago lost to memory over the generations. Like most mixed Mexicans, he did not fare as well in his country as more pure-blooded Spanish, who tended to rise to the upper castes; so, he emigrated to the United States. He worked in Arizona cotton fields, then migrated to California to work in fruit orchids; after saving some money he moved to Los Angeles to get involved in a small grocery store with a couple of partners. This would have been shortly before the Depression."

Abstract
This paper examines how, through symbolism, allusions, and dialogue, Shakespeare reveals his attitudes concerning love, marriage, and gender roles in 16th-century society in his play, "The Taming of the Shrew".
From the Paper
"One of William Shakespeare?s best-loved comedies, The Taming of the Shrew takes audiences on a rather comprehensive journey through Renaissance social culture. Though the courtship between main characters Petruchio and Katherina is far from typical, it does offer insight into not only the customs and attitudes of Europeans in general but those of Shakespeare himself. Shakespeare seems to hold the same opinions as those of most men of the late 1500s?that love is generally very superficial and based on physical attraction; that marriage closely resembles a business proposition; and that women are nothing without their husbands or fathers to whom they must submit. Through literary devices ranging from witty dialogues and impassioned speeches to plentiful allusions and creative symbolism, Shakespeare reveals his attitudes concerning love, marriage, and gender roles in sixteenth-century society."

?What I Saw From Where I Stood?, 2002.

Abstract
The paper analyzes the literary themes in the short story "What I saw from Where I Stood" by Marisa Silver - a story written from a man's perspective on the stillbirth of his baby. The author then compares it with another story, "A Sorrowful Woman" by Gail Godwin. By comparing the two, the paper shows the unique literary techniques of "What I Saw from Where I Stood".
From the Paper
"The final mention of the stillborn describes the scene most emotionally, ?When the doctors took the baby out of her, they handed him to me without bothering to clean him up; I guess there was no point to it. Every inch of him was perfectly formed. For a second, I thought he would open his eyes and be a baby.? First of all, this scene itself is highly emotional. The sadness of it is emphasized by the way the baby is described as being taken out of her. This is in contrast to what we would expect of a baby being born. The part where he says he thought he would open his eyes and be a baby, also emphasizes that this is not a baby. This shows us effectively how the moment they were looking forward to became something else."

?I Think, Therefore I Am?, 2002.
An analysis of philosopher, Rene Descartes' Method of Doubt.

Abstract
Rene Descartes' method of doubt provides a powerful tool for attempting to determine the fundamental nature of reality. The paper analyzes Meditations I and II, where Descartes uses the Method of Doubt in order to attempt to determine which beliefs and opinions are true. It shows that in order to do this, Descartes proposes a series of skeptical hypotheses, each aimed at determining if we can trust our specific faculties of sense, reason, and imagination. The paper concludes that Descartes method of doubt determines that all that we can truly know is ?cogito ergo sum? (I think, therefore I am).
From the Paper
"Descartes notes that examining each belief, and determining if it is true "would be truly an endless labor". As such, he argues that it is necessary to attempt to find a principle that can serve as the fundamental basis, or bedrock, for all his beliefs. Descartes argues that examining each individual belief is unnecessary, as well as laborious, given that an examination of his fundamental belief will reveal if all other beliefs, which rest upon it, are true as well. Says Descartes, "as the removal from below of the foundation necessarily involves the downfall of the whole edifice, I will at once approach the criticism of the principles on which all my former beliefs rested" Descartes, Meditations I)."

Abstract
The paper looks at PepsiCo's recent decision to implement a new procurement tracking and data-keeping system for its international operations. It paper examines the objective that drove the change, the factors at play which made it desirable, the main participants in the new design, and the systems development cycle approach which would have worked best had it been implemented at the start of the entire process.
Finally, the paper looks at the problems and opportunities that would have been considered by the student if he had been in charge of the design and implementation of the new procurement system.
From the Paper
"The following paper will briefly review five questions which invariably arise when assessing why a particular systems arrangement is adopted by an organization. Specifically, the paper will look at PepsiCo's objectives for any Purchase to Pay system modification it undertakes, what factors were present to motivate the company to implement the project, who were the main participants PepsiCo had to involve so as to develop the corporation's revamped Purchase to Pay system, which systems development cycle approach would have been best for the PepsiCo project and, not least of all, what problems and opportunities should have been considered in conducting the initial systems investigation? This is a fairly complex topic, but the underlying truth it reveals are not especially complex at all; to wit, the case study of PepsiCo underscores how important it is to examine every option and scenario before making detailed changes.."

From the Paper
"Work and sweat produces conveniences so that men can do more, it is true. These conveniences do just as much good as they were intended to do. For example, helps men to feed their families. Farming does not always yield enough money for food so that all men can eat. Thus, these men must work in industrialized society so that they can have meals on their table. The fathers must work in the railroad so that their children can eat. No one can argue against that point. The conveniences also allow men to visit family and friends so that they may spend quality time with them. Instead of it taking years and years to have enough time to spend from the crops and household chores in order to make trips by foot or horse, man can visit as often as they wish because it takes less time to make such trips. Also, thanks to the train, entire families can go and can just as quickly return. Dangers associated with traveling across the wild and reckless land are almost removed. "

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine I Can I Will by Frederick G. Elias. The plan of the research will be to set forth the pattern of ideas in the book and then to discuss how the ideas are developed and how they build to a prescription for seizing and maintaining control of life experience.
IC is a book that must be classified as a self-help manual with an orientation toward both material and psychological success. Indeed, it is not too much to say that the overriding objective of the book is to formulate a plan for what could be called self-actualization. That is because of the action orientation of the text, which offers specific advice about how to achieve personal power and to apply the feelings of power to the project of achieving specific goals. Elias frames this advice in terms of imputing creativity and potential to the reader with a.."

Abstract
An examination of the interdependency of the Church and State in late Tudor and early Stuart England. The paper looks at how the Church and State were used in tandem to suppress opposition; and how religious beliefs impacted upon loyalty (or perceived loyalty) to the state.
From the Paper
""Religion is the ground on which all other matters ought to take root". These words, spoken by Elizabeth to Parliament, neatly summarize the interdependency between Church and State in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The quotation in the title implies that there ought to be a distinction between religious beliefs and the proper exercise of political power, when in fact there was no such separation in the eyes of Elizabeth and, later, James I. The history of this period is one of conflicting beliefs between the wings of the established church and the constant pressure by the Presbyterians and Puritan sects to reform the church and hence change the nature of the government of the country. This period also sees the attempts to suppress the radical teachings of Barrow and others, which were equated with sedition and treason, in order to maintain a conformity of worship if not necessarily of belief."

Descartes: I Think, Therefore I Am, 2005.
The paper examines Descartes's quest for the self.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Descartes does not accept valid proof for his existence. It explains how, in the process of questioning whether or not he exists, Descartes displays a pattern of reasoning, which proves the validity of the initial question because it arrives at a response that does not just act as proof for his existence ,but as a definition for human beings.
From the Paper
"Descartes was a doubter, a skeptic whose philosophy emerges from his quest for the truth and his struggle to attain knowledge. As far as he was concerned, there really were no empirical truths but only a set of beliefs which, if they were born out by inquiry and logical testing, became truths. Within this context of doubting all until that all, or its different components, proved to be true knowledge ad reality, Descartes doubted all that was around him. Among the many tings that Descartes doubted was the reality of his own existence. If one were totally honest, one would admit that the first reaction to the idea of someone doubting whether or not he existed, is madness. We know we exist because we can see and feel ourselves."

From the Paper
"The relationship between Judiciary and Executive/Legislature in a country like India has always been contentious. The 57 years of the working of the Indian Constitution has more than once seen a supremacy tussle between the Judiciary and Executive on one hand and the Legislature on the other. One of the most inextricable reason of such a tussle has always been the Ninth Schedule which has more or less met its fate with the I.R.Coelho judgment. However, for a deeper and an unbiased understanding, it would be better to start from the history of the Ninth Schedule."

Abstract
This paper explains that 'preminiscence', the process of projecting the future, is important to the process of aging, which implies that, on the basis of past experience, women shape their futures. The author points out that, in "When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple" (AKA "Warning"), the reader learns that aging women, no longer needing to succumb to the temptations of diet aids, beauty products and cosmetic surgery, are released from the tyranny of physical beauty and are free to tap into themselves and rediscover the old feistiness, lying dormant since they were 10 years old. The paper concludes that this poem offers a positive approach to aging and a vista of freedom and possibilities by making the revolutionary statement that aging isn't so bad, after all. Poem included.

From the Paper
"The collection of women's life histories shows that during her 70s, widowhood is a likely possibility for most women. According to Coyle (1997), "Women on the average live longer than men. Women experience a greater life expectancy than men, and as a result, they comprise the majority of older adults." Widowhood is so common, in fact, that women regard it as something like a rite of passage, and although it is initially a shock and extremely painful for many of them, they do recover and reach a point where they see it as a whole new stage of life."

Abstract
This paper examines how Emily Dickinson writes of death in the poem "I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died", choosing her words like a painter would chose his/her colors. It looks at how every word has meaning and how every line signifies a breath and thought of pure philosophy.
From the Paper
""The stillness in the room" represents the awkward instance of death. When death happens the "stillness" is felt by all. We all become aware we are of life when we experience death. "The stillness in the room" is compared with the "stillness in the air". To Dickinson the in death the air become still for the person who can no longer take a breath into their lungs. This stillness becomes death, air no longer exists and life is a memory possessed by those who look on with wonder. The emotion in this poem is great. The second stanza describes the onlookers. This must be the exact time of death, because the group begins to cry and breath "firm". While chests become tight with the onslaught of tears the eyes fix on the death in the room, but she who is dying fix on the small insect in the room. She thinks of all that life has brought and what parts of her are able to be left behind. She has "signed away" the physical world and has entered the final phase of the spiritual."

Abstract
The writer traces news from the Penny Press to the Present Press, showing how crime has evolved to become the most important feature in written or electronically produced news. To simplify: crime is news. Printed news about crime and justice is nearly as old as the printed word itself.
From the Paper
"New York, 1841: Mary Rogers' body has just been discovered. Rarely do the editorial pages codemn the lack of crime control in the city; instead the papers are either fictionalizing the crime and making up stories to fit the facts or extrapolating from the crime and using the story to represent the city itself. James Gordon Bennett was the editor of the New York Herald and a symbol in journalism for sensationalism and libelous reporting. He has been noted as ?the principal figure in the rise of the new urban journalism and the creation of the Mary Rogers story?. His and other newspapers followed the saga of the story, and along with it delved into the issues that surrounded the case: it appeared that Mary had gone to have an abortion; it came out that she had been seen with several different suitors; she was a working woman who helped run a boarder house; all of these issues that were central to the crime itself were expanded in the newspapers to represent the whole city, with ?Mary herself serving as an extended metaphor for the city.?

Abstract
This document discusses the case study entitled 'The Renault-Nissan Alliance' published by the Harvard Business School. The case study discusses the alliance between Renault and Nissan, first as an investment by Renault in Nissan and subsequently a full 50/50 joint venture. Although there were certain operational and engineering difficulties the joint venture has proven to be an astounding success due, largely, to Carlos Ghosn's leadership.
From the Paper
"Renault, long one of Europe's largest automotive manufactures, invested heavily in Nissan in 1999. These figures represented an approximate $5.4b amounted to a 36.8% stake in the company for Renault and represented a substantial risk (Yoshino & Fagan, 2003, p.6). For Renault the move was as strategic one to gain global scale while for Nissan the investment amounted to a vital life-line. In 2002, the Renault minority ownership in Nissan was upgraded to a joint venture complete with shared platforms, technologies, and synergistic markets (Yoshino & Fagan, 2003). The new full-fledged alliance was termed Renault-Nissan BV and it brought out the best from each company and ultimately fashioned a formidable competitor. "

Adolescent Delinquency, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses the article "Is Child Maltreatment a Leading Cause of Delinquency?" (I. M. Schwartz, J.A Rendon, and C.M. Hsieh) which appeared in the September 1994 edition of "Child Welfare". The paper shows that the purpose of this article is to connect the methods, discipline and theories of social work with adolescents to the wider field of the influence of government policy on crime. The paper then discusses M.P Dawkins 1997 article, "Drug Use and Violent Crime Among Adolescents" in which the author reports conducting research at a juvenile detention facility.
From the Paper
"What makes this article potentially useful to social-work or psychotherapy practitioners is that its findings are somewhat out of line with the popular view that illicit drugs constitute the main catalyst for youth crime. Dawkins reports that alcohol, which is a controlled but otherwise legal substance, and marijuana, which though an illicit substance is not usually considered a hard drug, are more prominent in the background of a good deal of youth violence and nonviolent offenses. Dawkins develops the idea that youths? use of these two substances also cuts across socioeconomic and ethnic lines, though not necessarily an existing criminal record, as more important predictors of future youthful criminal behavior."
