Abstract
This paper analyzes Booker T. Washington's "Atlanta Exposition Address". The discussion and analysis of the rhetorical elements of the speech ultimately convey the argument of this paper, which posits that, through the use of rhetorical elements, Washington managed to create an impression that he is for the emancipation of black Americans from slavery, but does not discount the fact that their emancipation means the continuing control of white Americans over the black Americans.
From the Paper
"One of the primary steps towards identifying the elements that will be studied for the rhetorical analysis is to first identify the audience of Washington's speech. This is vital, since the meanings explicitly and implicitly expressed through the style and rhetorical figures utilized in the speech will be applied in the context of the speaker?s target audience. Analysis of the speech shows that it has the white (Northern and Southern whites) and black Americans (slaves and freemen) as his primary and target audiences. Reference to the white American audience is expressed in paragraphs 1 to 3, wherein the speaker entices them through the phrase, "Cast down your bucket where you are," in order to entice the white Americans to cooperate with the American society (black Americans, specifically) in the path towards abolishment of and emancipation from slavery. Black Americans, meanwhile, are also targeted in the speech, and Washington includes his fellowmen to discuss how emancipation can be both a privilege and challenge for their community."

Abstract
This paper looks at the history of engineering education in the United States and the ways that engineering, and thus engineering schools, continue to improve life for each one of us. However, one cannot understand why engineering school began to assume greater and greater importance in the second half of the 19th century in the United States without considering the historical context of engineering and of engineering education. It shows how the Centennial Exposition of 1876 gave a boost to engineering education, but this was only because people were already prepared to reconsider the place of engineering in the United States.
From the Paper
"A decade in the planning, sprawling across 450 acres (and costing the then-unbelievable sum of over $11 million), the exposition welcomed over 10 million people. And the most popular draw to all visitors to the exposition was the was Machinery Hall, where viewers were given intimate glimpses into the working models of steam engines and dynamos. The exposition was in many ways a boosterish celebration of the coming of age of the United States as an world industrial power ? and the impression that this display made on both universities and young people was substantial. "The Centennial Exposition in 1876 in Philadelphia was responsible for a national quickening in mechanical matters and for a growing sense of latent power,? wrote Frederick Remsen Hutton in the 1915 A History of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers from 1880 to 1915."

Abstract
This paper explains that, after the victories at Chattanooga, Major General Ulysses S. Grant, the commander of the Federal Western theater and his favorite subordinate, Major General William Tecumseh Sherman, contemplated the destruction of the Army of Tennessee and an invasion into the interior of Georgia to demolish the Confederate resources in Atlanta. The author points out that Atlanta fell on September 2nd, which the Confederacy deemed a major disaster and began to feel that defeat was now almost inevitable. The paper concludes that Sherman's victories around Atlanta boosted the Northern morale because they finally appeared to be heading towards an end and victory.
From the Paper
"Newly promoted Lieutenant General Grant hoped to launch at least two simultaneous movements into Georgia by the beginning of May while he remained in Virginia to oversee a drive against the Army of Northern Virginia. One part of the offensive would be under Sherman, advancing south from Chattanooga towards Atlanta. On 4 April, Grant sent a dispatch to Sherman detailing the objectives set for his subordinate. Sherman's advance would be accompanied by another offensive, under Major General Nathaniel P. Banks. Banks was to take the port city of Mobile, Alabama, and advance northeast into Georgia. As Sherman and Banks advanced through Georgia, and Grant directed the Federal offensive against Richmond, all assaults would work to block any cooperation or reinforcement between Colonel Robert E. Lee and General Joseph E. Johnston. Grant and Sherman, in formulating their offensives of 1864 into Virginia and Georgia, had developed a brilliant strategy."

Abstract
This informative paper examines Atlanta's rich history from its establishment in 1837 to the present. This paper contains statistical information regarding employment opportunities in the capital city as well as relevant facts about housing, cultural events and the booming telecommunications industry.
From the Paper
"Atlanta was always considered crucial to the country's trade, after the city was established in 1837. Its citizens painstakingly rebuilt the city 30 years later after Union General William T. Sherman burned it to the ground; and it politically transformed itself from a segregationist's sanctuary to an arena of equal opportunity, in the 60's and 70's. Since then, Atlanta has earned its place as an international nerve center for the explosive telecommunications industry, as well as textiles, making it an excellent city for employment. According to Fortune Magazine, Atlanta is one of the five best cities in the world to conduct business. In 1996 Atlanta's job growth totaled 5% as opposed to the nation's 1.7%; and the city's unemployment rate was only 3.7% as compared to the country's 5.3%."

Chapter Two: Vine City between 1964-1968
Chapter Three: The Legacy of the Sixties on Vine City Today
From the Paper
"While the city of Atlanta itself is relatively small, it is surrounded by a number of suburbs, including Vine City. Over the years, Vine City has been the victim of various property development initiatives that were designed to benefit the City of Atlanta in general, while sacrificing quality of life considerations for Vine City residents in the process. While other similarly situated suburbs of Atlanta, particularly low-income predominately black ones, have experienced comparable problems in the past, Vine City in particular seems to epitomize the problems associated with developmental issues in the face of a political machine that fails to embrace all of the stakeholders involved. In the face of such challenges, though, Vine City has also been the source of a number of black leaders that modeled the way by mobilizing resources and ensuring that the voices of Vine City residents were no longer ignored."

Equality in African-American Literature, 2007.
An examinarion of works by Booker T. Washington, Zora Neale Hurston and Ralph Ellison that describe African-Americans' needs for equality and freedom.

Abstract
This paper examines how African-Americans' repeated struggles to obtain freedom from Southern slavery as well as their quest for social, economic and educational equality with whites, have been starkly and vividly described by a number of African-American authors. It points out that among these are the black educational leader Booker T. Washington; the novelist, short story writer and essayist Zora Neale Hurston and the novelist Ralph Ellison. The paper analyzes Washington's "The Atlanta Exposition", Hurston's "How It Feels to Be Colored Me" and Ellison's "Battle Royal" in terms of depictions of the African-American struggle toward equality, freedom and self-actualization.
From the Paper
"The "gradualism" argued for by Washington, in what is known now as his "Atlanta Compromise Speech", as a way of blacks' slowly gaining equality with whites through vocational education, pleased Washington's, mostly Southern white, audience at the 1894 Atlanta Exposition. Southern whites, worried about losing economic ground to former slaves, were happy to accept Washington's views of gradual progress for blacks through vocational education, although in hindsight this was not the best way for blacks to achieve equality with whites."
"Zora Neale Hurston's essay "How It feels to be Colored Me" (1928), is written from the perspective of a 20th century African American woman, who feels, more than 60 years after the abolition of slavery, sanguine about being black in America."

Booker T. Washington's "Up from Slavery", 2004.
Argues that the ideas presented in Booker T. Washington's "Up from Slavery" were a step in the wrong direction.

Abstract
This paper argues that Booker T. Washington's "Up from Slavery"
documents his journey from a slave to an educator in an effort to serve as an inspiration to blacks; nevertheless, many aspects of this book, especially in his Atlanta exposition speech, were harmful to blacks. The paper explains that these harmful aspects are his passive stance in regards to social inequalities levied against blacks, an indirect encouragement of further racism and a message that discourages blacks from progressing socially in the United States. The paper stresses that Washington's ideas are even more harmful because of his prominent position within the U.S.
From the Paper
"In addition, the acceptance of social inequality meant more racism, discrimination, and violence against blacks. In contrast to Washington's views, the civil rights movement was a result of proactive movement, involving "artificial" methods such as legislation and agitation. One could suggest that the views expressed in Washington's literature set back the civil rights movement. Additionally, the passiveness in regards to social inequality actually simulated it."

Abstract
This paper provides an exposition of the symbolic use of unnatural actions and motivations of Shakespeare's characters in his tragedy "King Lear." The paper examines the Elizabethan view of determinism, including filial relationships in the play and the Elizabethan ideal.
From the Paper
"Shakespeare presents numerous violations against nature in the tragedy "King Lear." Throughout the play he exploits the Elizabethan views of determinism in nature and physical order within the universe. Shakespeare explores the effects of committing violations against established natural laws through his characters' inappropriate dealings within their relationships against the natural order and against their own bodies and minds. His portrayal of unnatural relationships carried a profound significance for Elizabethan audiences."

Literary Forms in Philosophical Writings, 2005.

Abstract
Throughout its history, philosophical writings have primarily been conventional expositions of arguments. However, there have been exceptions, notably the literary forms of the dialogue, the aphorism, the poem, and others. Sometimes, the chosen format functioned specifically to convert the reader, but sometimes not. This paper looks at the relationship, or the lack of one, between literary forms and intent. There is specific scrutiny of Lucretius?s "Of the Nature of Things" and Spinoza?s "Ethics".
From the Paper
"Perhaps, the geometrical form was pedagogical, or a reaction to the imprecision of the prevailing Renaissance style, or a way of avoiding the traditional Scholastic ?disputations and questions? format. (Wolfson 32-60) As Wolfson, a major Spinoza interpreter suggests, he ?had something new to say, and he wished to say it in a new way.? (59) It may have simply been a ?desire to produce a book which externally would be different from all other books on philosophy.? (59) Or in Martha Nussbaum?s interesting discussion about literary form and content, she specifically cites the example of Spinoza?s Ethics and offers the suggestion that this project of writing craft expressed a joy that accompanies the peace of mind found in his philosophy. ?Spinoza cultivates the intellectual joy of which he will speak.

"First Movement: Exposition (Bars 1-256). An orchestral unison in the strings announces the principal motive (not really a theme), figure 1, which is extended lyrically (ms. 9-16) to the full tutti repeat of the opening at measure 16. A progression to the subdominant at bar 24 leads to a developmental transition utilizing the scale figure from the opening and in secondary dominant on D (ms. 36-37) to cadence on G at bar 46.
An unprepared shift to g minor eventually leads to the second theme in E-flat major at measure 49, using G and B-flat as common tones. This theme, figure 2, provides much of the developmental material used throughout the movement, especially ... "

Abstract
This paper looks at the Shari'a in Islam and explains that in the Shari'a, morality and law are one and the same. It describes the ideological tensions this creates with Western liberalism as profound, as Western laws permit many conflicting moralities. It places a heavy emphasis on the Shari'a and human rights and morality.
From the Paper
" The Shari'a or Islamic law is incapable of distinguishing morality from law. Nor does the Shari'a intend to do such a thing. For devout Muslims morality is not codified by law, morality is-or should be-.."

Nietzsche's "Last Man", 2004.

Abstract
Nietzsche's philosophy is as misunderstood as it is prestigious. This paper traces Nietzsche's steps carefully, to find where his conception of both the apocolyptic "last man" and the glorious "overman" spring from. This is accomplished through an analytic investigation of Nietzsche's reaction to Utilitarianism, touching on the ascetic ideal, transcendence, ressentiment, slave and master moralities, bad conscience and Nietzsche's "value-judgement" epistemology.
From the Paper
"It is no secret that Nietzsche?s primary goal in his philosophy was to allow for a revaluation of all values. This was not a task Nietzsche took lightly, and even a quick skim through his works reveal the depth of Nietzsche?s critique of alternate moral systems, with their binary oppositions of good and evil. One such system was Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism had its strongest support within Britain, and Nietzsche?s criticism came from three main perspectives. 1) That Utilitarianism was equivalent to a negation of life and as such, 2) that Utilitarianism provided a poor ?instruction manual? to interpreting human history. Finally, Nietzsche amalgamates these two perspectives into 3) an argument that Utilitarianism is a subversion of mankind in general, and as such it, and theories of its type, is leading to a Dystopian state of affairs for the end of history or Nietzsche?s ?last man?. Following from this examination of Utilitarianism, we will direct our attention to Nietzsche?s more general critique of antithetical moral values. What is unusual about this critique is the constant focus Nietzsche holds for cultural relevance; Nietzsche?s Beyond Good and Evil is subtitled ?Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future?. The critique of antithetical values, ascetic ideals and slave moralities is not a conceptual hill to climb; it is the very issue that will decide the future of mankind. This fascinating and innovative interpretation poses a challenge to ?modern sensibility?; as Nietzsche suggests an alternative moral paradigm and attitude towards existence that must be explored. Therefore, to conclude the essay, I will discuss Nietzsche?s response to Utilitarianism (and Platonic/Christian thought) in the context of Nietzsche?s positive morality, ?Beyond Good and Evil?."
