6 pages in length. When assessing the impact that film has had upon the women's movement, it is not difficult to name at least a dozen examples off the top of one's head; indeed, the power of women is the primary focus of myriad films. Two in particular – Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" – address several elements of the women's movement within their somewhat related themes. Upon researching the historical backgrounds of the films, reading reviews and other writings pertaining to them, one can readily surmise that there are many facets to being a woman, some that are quite blatant, many more that are both subtle and fundamental at the same time.

Organizations devote excessive time to planning and often use outdated information on which to base their decisions.

For as long as mankind has lived within a more communal environment, the split between a relative handful of ruling public figures and their huddled masses has been both palpable and pained; those few in charge were forever in possession of the greatest wealth compared with the general populace who typically eked out a meager existence. This reality has not changed much over the centuries with the same handful of power mongers controlling the distribution of wealth of an entire country, often reserving the greatest financial rewards for themselves without even a thought for how such actions impact the greater good of society in particular and the entire human race in general. 5 pages in length. 3 sources are cited.

A 10 page overview of the history behind Medicare. The author asserts that to find a solution to Medicare's current problems we must examine both the similarities and differences between the era in which Medicare was initiated and today's environment. We must be cognizant of just who the current stakeholder is and constantly remind ourselves of how important they are. To fully assess Medicare and the potential impact its fall would have it is prudent to obtain input from these stakeholders, evaluate that input, and initiate measures which have the most likelihood of stabilizing the top heavy system and halting its rapid spiral to the bottom.

(5pp) One of the wonderful things about old-fashioned roll-top desks, was that there were many cubbyholes for sorting out "things;" then if there was still too much mess, one had the option of just pulling down the top cover and hiding it all. There are times when we hope that is true with the arts-that it can be arranged and ordered, and that which we do not understand, can simply be covered, or hidden. Artistic "modernism" was not content with historic pigeon-holing and sought to give voice to individualism, and expression to that part of our world that was locked between two world wars. The work of Baudelaire and Rilke in the Moderist framework will be considered. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

A 9 page paper discussing conflict between principals and agents when companies merge. This conflict can arise at any point and between any groups that can be seen as principal (owner) and agent (manager). The old notions of majority rule and spoils for the victor survive, however. Shareholders accept or reject offers by majority vote, and the overtaking company generally replaces top management at the target with its own people. Consolidation of positions assist in achieving cost savings and averting unnecessary conflict. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

A 16 page paper discussing health care in "the health state." It ranks at the top or bottom of all national lists, and in all categories aside from those of cost, its position is determined by which position can be considered as being the most favorable.

The purpose here is to examine the current situation. Seven figures. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

This 6 page report discusses the fact that illegal drugs have been a top concern of the CIA for decades but in the 1950s and 1960s, that concern was based more on what certain drugs could accomplish for the CIA rather than what the drugs would do to human beings.

(5 pp) It has historically been the perception that faith in religion falls into the region of "the simple," or "the pure," or even "the uneducated." This is hardly the case any longer, as Clark looks at the stated belief systems of eleven of the United States top philosophical minds in his 1997 book, Philosophers Who Believe. In this discussion we will look at three of those philosophers in comparison to the nature of faith and the nature of philosophy. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

( 5 pp) La Sonnambula (1831)is one of Vincenzio Bellini's (1801-1835)top three operas among the listening audience, and in tone is certainly the most light-hearted. This is not to cancel in any way the vocal pyro-technics of the bel canto tradition, which appears in this performance. The performers are not power-driven, as one might find on larger stages, but complement this simple story, and yet maintain a liveliness that is true to the more dramatic nuances of Bellini's other works.

10 pages in length. The purpose of this study is to determine the why and how of marketing strategy for a major firm, as well as an analysis of whether this strategy is successful. The firm chosen, Toys "R" Us, is one that will fit into the study precisely because while it was once the top firm in the industry, it has now slipped a few notches. By analyzing what went wrong and how this downward trend can be corrected, the student can learn some key points about how a firm can continue to exist in such a competitive environment as today's world has become.

This 7 page report discusses the numerous components necessary to create an effective advertising campaign and the fact that an advertising agency that bills itself as “full-service” must be able to provide all components of the marketing-advertising -public relations mix. A hypothetical situation is presented in which a potential client is the local cable television conglomerate and could mean as much as an additional $1 million in the agency’s annual billables.

In other words, in order to demonstrate the agency’s capabilities, a full “dog and pony show” is planned. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

A 5 page paper which examines the popular status of Italian Renaissance actors. Commedia dell'arte was separate from amateur drama because of the high level of performances.

Although the older form of this street theater had originated with morality plays, these comedies were very different. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

16 pages. During the many decades the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been active, it has seen its name attached to many scandals, as well as much success.
