Abstract
This paper uses the example of Jenny Holzer?s work ?Truisms? ( NYC Guggenheim Museum) to illustrate her conceptual art. (Illustration included.) The author points out that Holzer?s "Truisms" came about because of her despair of the present-day world where there is little dialogue about people?s widely varying beliefs. The paper states that Holzer?s art distinguishes two strong characteristics of the late 1970 and 1980 artists: The manipulation of gallery and museum spaces as communal locations of the dissemination of political and social commentary and the spread of activist art collections in New York.
From the Paper
"New artistic movements arose during the 1960s and ?70s to challenge and displace modernism in painting, sculpture and other media. By the late 1970s, artists were using conversations, discussions and theoretical texts as the basis for their creative products. One of these styles was conceptualism. Deliberately formed as an approach that no aesthetic formalism could ever embrace, it placed art beyond all limitations and definitions to break the stringent constraints of the previous art history and criticism. Attention was turned toward producing and the manipulation of materials. The result or the final object became secondary and often temporary. The rise of conceptualism corresponded to artistic trends taking place in various parts of the world, as social and political upheaval prompted artists to re-examine traditional forms of representation and question art?s social utility. Much of the art in exhibitions was made to provoke the viewer by disturbing previously accepted ideas about social, political and cultural systems."

Abstract
This paper examines the different aspects of Jenny Craig Inc. and its highly successful diet plan in order to determine its overwhelming international success. The paper outlines the plan's philosophy, including the importance of healthy eating, exercise and lifestyle changes. The author discusses the regular meetings that each client attends, the one-on-one consultations, structured eating program, supplements and stringent calorie requirements. The paper points out that this program is extremely structured and that the counselors undergo many hours of training including weekly and monthly sessions with medical personnel. The paper feels that this has contributed to its success, but does point out that, due to the highly structured nature of the program, many people fail to maintain their successes after they leave the confines of the center's program.
From the Paper

And when one is active, metabolism increases, more calories are burned and muscle mass maintained. those who become active tend to prefer healthy foods. And when one?s lifestyle is active, the common consequences are improved immune function, better hormone balance, and reduced risk to heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. Because of the increased energy and improved self-esteem, such clients or members begin o lead an active lifestyle."

"As people keep growing, so does the weight loss market. There are enough different programs, food supplements and food replacements to fit any one's preference. And if one program does not work, there are plenty of others for an individual to try that will keep them busy for years.
The key to the success of commercial weight loss programs is that Americans crave quick results." According to one source, a quarter of all Americans are too fat, 13 million are seriously overweight, and nearly 20 percent of American adults (and more than half of all women) are perpetually dieting (Blodgett, 1991, p. 139). These figures compare with 1989 ones in which it was found that 100 million adult Americans are overweight and about half of those are dieting.
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services..."

"Americans are concerned with being thin, and are willing to spend money to lose unwanted pounds. Weight loss solutions come in the form of powdered diets available through supermarkets (Slim-Fast and Sweet Success), diet pills available over the counter (Dexatrim), prepared foods available in the supermarket (Lean Cuisine and Le Menu) and hundreds of self?help books. Recent years have also seen the introduction of the diet program, in which participants meet with other dieters on a regular basis, generally daily or weekly, and work with representatives from the companies sponsoring these programs to lose weight. In 1991, this segment of the diet industry was estimated at 2.1 billion dollars.. Diet programs, including Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Nutri/System and Diet Centers, rely on advertising to promote their products. In 1991, Nutri/System spent more than 30 million dollars on advertising.. In early 1993, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how we can ascertain what aging women expect their futures to be like and how they view old age by reading their poetry and other writings. In "When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple," (also known as "Warning") we learn that aging women are released from the tyranny of physical beauty. They are free to tap into themselves and rediscover the old liveliness lying dormant since they were young children. The poem offers a positive approach to aging and opens a vista of freedom and possibilities. The poem makes the revolutionary statement that aging isn't so bad after all.

From the Paper
"The poem is a reassurance to these women that old age has some positive aspects and is something to which they can look forward. In just a few years, they will no longer have to continue their efforts to maintain society's ideal of beauty--that is, a youthful and thin appearance. The poem, taken as a whole, also implies that it is a relief not to have to be sexually attractive to men anymore: "You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat..." In other words, there is freedom in not having to dress for other people, particularly for the male gaze, anymore. The first time I read this poem, I was reminded of my mother. When she reached the age of 79 and her 80th birthday was coming up soon, she gave up wearing a corset because, as she quietly explained to me, "I have reached an age now where I have a right to be comfortable.""

"It is an exercise in redundancy to make the case that our society is a violent one. It is an arguable contention(one that surely will be validated on the pages of any history book) that humankind is simply a quarrelsome breed; one that has, since the inception of the social contract, existed amidst countless acts of violence and indiscretion. As a matter of course, we have always sought to determine the causes of such violence and social degradation, and to trace those elements in society that are assumed to perpetuate aggressive and uncivilized behavior in the masses. Theater, art, music, political rallying, propaganda- all of these and more have been branded as contributors to the deterioration of our collective moral fiber. Today, talk shows have emerged as the.."

Abstract
This paper discusses ten specific cases such as the case of Jenny, a thirty-two year old Caucasian female complaining of acne vulgaris, who was recommended the use of calcarea carbonica because of its applicability to clients with chilled extremities and anxiety and who was advised to avoid baked goods and refined sugars to begin a regular meditation, yoga or tai chi to help her relax. The author points out another case, with the herpes simplex virus causing the cold sores, for whom natrum muriaticum was elected because of its general applicability and relevance to Jim's overeating of salty snack foods; at the six month visit, he had not experienced any cold sore eruptions. The paper relates that carbo vegetabilis was recommended for a case of asthma, which reduced symptoms and dependence on his inhaler.
From the Paper
"When asked, Roy admitted that he is under a lot of stress at work. Roy is poised and charming and does not seem to have any aggressive or overly emotional tendencies. However, when we began talking about his job, we noticed his shoulders tensing. Roy also enjoyed making jokes about uncomfortable topics and thus tended to cover up his uncomfortable emotions, like anger, with humor. We recommended the remedy Natrum muriaticum, as it applies readily to Roy's symptoms, including his responsiveness to massage, his suppressed emotion, and his tendency to keep his feelings concealed from those around him."

Abstract
The paper looks at the onset of what would become the Industrial Revolution and highlights the significance of the cotton-spinning jenny and the introduction of steam power. The paper explores the many ways in which the Industrial Revolution changed English society. The paper notes that aside from economic advantages, a number of social problems and economic weaknesses resulted from these changes.
From the Paper
"The Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century developed most rapidly and fully in England. England and other nations of Europe were changed greatly by the possibilities inherent in a developing industrial base and in the changes taking place in agriculture at the same time. Industrial expansion funded political and territorial expansion through imperialist efforts creating colonies in different parts of the world, and this process help disseminate many Western ideas to regions that had been very differently governed before this time. Technological innovation was difficult in many of the states where it occurred."

Victorian Poetry, 2002.
Shows how works by poets Robert Browning and Dante Gabriel Rossetti reflect the values of the Victorian period.

Abstract
For the Victorians, poetry was a vibrant expression of the era?s values and its fears. The paper analyzes two poems from the Victorian period which reflect these values. The first shows the era?s intense occupation with status and social hierarchy in Robert Browning?s ?The Bishop Orders His Tomb at Saint Praxed?s Church?. The poem demonstrates how this obsession with people?s position in the world merged into an obsession with death and the dead, with death as a force that erased the status that people strove so hard to create and uphold in life. The second paper analyzed in this paper is Dante Gabriel Rossetti?s ?Jenny?, in which we see how the notions of status and propriety that governed Victorian life and death created such a terrible psychological pressure on the Victorians that they had at times to escape into lascivious fantasy.
From the Paper
"The contrast is not simply that, however, of the upright and virtuous life against the scandalous and criminal one (for Rossetti makes it clear in the opening lines that Jenny is a prostitute) but that between male and female worlds. Life for the Victorians was divided into strictly separated spheres: The worlds of men and women touching upon each other barely more than the worlds of life and death. This poem is in part an expression of regret at this latter divide."

From the Paper
"Women in the American Revolution played a deciding factor in the success of the colonists in winning their freedom from the Tyranny of England. Traditional roles of men and women had been heavily influenced by the teachings of Christianity in which men were above women and God was above men. The interpretation of this idea was taken rather literally during this time period and many men regarded women as lower beings. During the Revolutionary war women were not considered fit for battle and this was strictly a man?s realm. Women were responsible for cooking, mending, sewing, soap making, and other forms of domestic tasks. The onset of the war forced some of these ideas to be loosened due to necessity. The war played a major role in re-defining women?s roles in the late 18th century. These ideas began a long series of reforms, which later led to the suffrage movement."

Abstract
A short analysis of Anne Tyler's novel "Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant", focusing on the character of Jenny Tull and her dual personality in which she treats strangers lovingly and loved ones with distance. The paper presents many quotes to illustrate the writer's arguments.
From the Paper
"Anne Tyler?s novel Dinner at The Homesick Restaurant brings to life a series of believable characters that we can all relate to, who to some extent remind us of ourselves or of people we have known. Perhaps one of the most vibrant characters in this novel is the lead character?s daughter. Through vivid characterization, Jenny Tull is portrayed to the reader as being distant towards the most important people in her life, while at the same time she is highly caring and ambitious towards the more trivial issues that surround her."

Abstract
This paper explores the two main characters, Jeff and Jennie, in Arna Bontemps' "A Summer Tragedy". The author shows how the perception of weakness in Jennie might actually be an illusion and that she may very well be the stronger of the two, despite Jeff's attempts to protect her.
From the Paper
"Clearly, Jeff has relied on Jennie to be strong and sure for both of them. When her certainty fails, Jeff is deeply shaken. He forces himself to keep going for the moment, but at the crucial moment, his resolve buckles. His voice breaks ?pitifully? as he tells Jennie he can?t go through with it. By that time, though, Jennie has worked through her own anguish and is calm again. Drawing comfort from her, Jeff says his own goodbyes to the world he is leaving behind and reaffirms their decision, though he still cannot acknowledge Jennie?s strength to himself. (?Another paralytic stroke like the one he had already suffered would put him on his back for keeps. In that condition, with a frail blind woman to look after him, he would be worse off than if he were dead.?)"

Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive discussion of what obesity is according to the health care community, an examination of the extent of obesity in America today and its cultural considerations, and a segment on potential resolutions to the problem. A review of two leaders in the weight-loss industry, Jenny Craig, Inc. and Weight Watchers, follows, together with the results of a telephonic survey to representatives of these companies. Finally, a summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The American Medical Association says that obesity is a disorder in which an individual is at least 20 percent over normal body weight. The research indicates that obesity is a major health concern in the United States today. About one in every five men and almost one in every three women in the U.S. are obese. In addition, there appear to be some cultural considerations involved in the perception of weight, and this has affected some segments of the population more than others. The literature shows that obesity causes or aggravates a number of physical problems, and that a combination of exercise and diet is the most effective method of losing weight and keeping it off. "

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of women in the Civil War era. Specifically, the paper illustrates important women of the Civil War, including the way women were treated and the various roles they played in relation to the war. The paper introduces Belle Boyd, one of the most well-known female Confederate spies. The paper also presents the story of Jennie Hodgers, one of the most notable women who dressed as a man. The paper discusses Mary Edwards Walker, a physician and the only woman ever to be given the Congressional Medal of Honor.
From the Paper
"Women served in many ways during the Civil War. Some worked as nurses and doctors. Some actually dressed as men and fought in the war. Some spied for the North, and some for the South, bringing back valuable information that military leaders put to good use. One of these spies was Belle Boyd. Boyd is probably one of the most well known female Confederate spies since she wrote about her encounters after the war and even toured the country talking about them. She was successful because the Union men did not expect a woman to be a spy, and because she understood how to deal with men and to play up to their male pride while obtaining the secret information she wanted. One historian notes, "With the element of surprise as her weapon, Belle succeeded in securing and transmitting information so valuable to Confederate troops that Stonewall Jackson commissioned her a captain and made her an honorary aide-de-camp" (Faust 215)."
