Abstract
This paper describes William F. Frederick's early experiences in business, how he got started in the business of selling pianos, the growth, expansion, and success of Frederick's business, and the eventual downfall of his company.
From the Paper
"Before the 1870s, coal and coke extraction in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, had been handled on a small, experimental basis. However, between 1876 and 1882, the number of beehive coke ovens increased exponentially. The amount rose from 3,000 to 8,400. In fact, by 1907, nearly 24,000 coke ovens were running. This had a tremendous impact on the socio-economic conditions of the area. Local residents had regular work (albeit very difficult and unhealthy), and thousands of immigrants from Eastern Europe relocated here for jobs in the coalmines and coke works. The new industry also had a major effect on local business. Money was plentiful for those who made the first investments in coal and the merchants benefited from the employees' regular paychecks. William F. Frederick, owner of Pittsburgh's W.F. Frederick Piano Company, which became the largest establishment in the world devoted exclusively to selling pianos, was one such fortunate businessman."

Pros and Cons
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Those in favor of the continued spending on the F-22 argue that without the plane, our tactical air systems will soon be outstripped by technology being developed by potentially hostile countries. Air dominance, they say, has been an instrumental factor in every modern military victory. Without upgrading our current stock of planes, we risk losing our current air dominance.
"Yet others believe that the money is being poorly spent. The Raptor, they argue, has been troubled by design flaws and cost problems. Its development is far behind schedule. Our country's current aircraft commitments equal a meager 10 percent of the nearly 3600 planes in our existing force. The existing planes are the finest and most effective fighter planes in the world. Hence, given the current political environment, the overall spending on F-22 development is unwarranted."

Evaluation Process
From the Paper
"The evaluation process is separated into two aspects; evaluating the decision itself and evaluating the decision process that has been used. Evaluating the decision involves monitoring the market place to determine if more action will be needed in the future. When evaluating the decision process that has been used you want to ask yourself if the marketing research and analysis that was used was effective, flawed or if it could be improved for use with similar situations in the future (Kervin p.226). The measure and control that you use for you marketing plan gives you something to rate your performance on as you develop your business. For instance, the money that you spend on advertising or PR, you can evaluate this against any increase - or decrease - in sales revenue, stock price or numbers of new customers contacting you. These practices will help you measure how effective your marketing activities are."

To evaluate his success the writer notes that one must not look at his predecessors, but at the state of affairs of the United States when Kennedy came to power. The writer concludes that John F. Kennedy was successful in his presidency because of the significant contributions he made to the American people and to the people of the world.
From the Paper
"The Ghettos were generally populated by blacks, but there were also known to be other ethnic races coinciding. The ghettos residents were largely impoverished which led to problems with crime, housing, employment, and lack of sanitation, education and health care. This segregation imposed upon them by the more affluent white middle class began to stir up a civil rights movement.
"In his pre-election campaign, Kennedy had chosen to ignore Civil Rights, preferring to show no view, as he feared antagonising the white southern vote. But, ten days before the election an event which would help shape the destiny of Kennedy's presidency occurred."

Abstract
This paper examines how F. Scott Fitzgerald experienced many different hardships, romances, and personal achievements. Most characters in the "The Great Gatsby" had some link to his past, which makes each character more dynamic. It explains how F. Scott Fitzgerald called upon all his personal knowledge and past experiences to write "The Great Gatsby".
From the Paper
"In The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald used many of his own life experiences including his own yearnings and lost hopes (A&E Biography). Throughout Fitzgerald's life he met people in Great Neck, Long Island that would later become the characters in his elaborate novel that combine both truths and false pretenses that he lived. Mellow said that every scrap of experience, his own or borrowed from others; every insight, earned or overheard, was considered usable knowledge for his fictional pursuits (220). For instance, Mellow stated that nearly all of Gatsby's shady connections with bootlegging, sport scandals, and stock swindles were related to unnamed but clearly identifiable Great Neck residents(220). In the character Jay Gatsby similarities can be seen between Gatsby and Fitzgerald."

Abstract
The paper describes world renowned psychologist, B.F Skinner's Operant Conditioning Theory - the primary focus of this form of learning being on the relationship of reinforcement to the change in overt behavior. The paper provides a biography of Skinner and shows how his ideas affected the psychological world.
From the Paper
"We, as human beings, are distinguished by the fact that our vocal responses can be easily conditioned as operants. Because the behavior must be reinforced through the mediation of other people, who do many different things, there are many kinds of verbal operants (http://www.bfskinner.org/Operant.asp). Language is composed of the reinforcing practices of a given culture. These practices are responsible for the majority of the extraordinary achievements of humans. Other species acquire behavior from each other through imitation and from modeling or showing each other what to do."

Abstract
This paper looks at the emergence of F. Scott Fitzgerald as a leader in the modernist movement of literature. It looks at the defining characteristics of modernism and how the uniqueness and newness of Fitzgerald's style of writing put him in the forefront of modernist writers. Fitzgerald's famous works of art and the characters within them are used to aptly illustrate Fitzgerald as one who spearheaded the modernist movement.
From the Paper
"Modernist literature is also the result of the writer seeking to save mankind from the "deadening features" of what became known as everyday life. The Modern artist, according to Paul Lauter, editor of The Heath Anthology of American Literature, felt a need to "challenge and reinvigorate" the ever-growing urban, industrial society. (935) In order for this reinvigoration to be successful, new styles of writing were needed to express the new ideas and values. From this need, Modernism arose and became what one critic called a "tradition of the new" (935). However, more than anything, modernism meant breaking away from traditional responses and "predictable forms"."

Abstract
This paper relates that F. Scott Fitzgerald (Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald) was an Irish-American Jazz Age novelist and short story writer, who is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. The author points out that Fitzgerald's protagonists are often reflections of the author and his wife Zelda -- heroes who are handsome, confident and predestined that blaze brilliantly before exploding and heroines who are beautiful, tempting and manipulative. The paper compares the couples from the two writings, Jay and Daisy of "The Great Gatsby" and Dexter and Judy of "Winter Dreams", who want greatness but end in misery.
From the Paper
"Both of these women were described as insensitive, unfaithful women, because both being involved in unsatisfactory marriages, they were having an affair with the male character, Jay Gatsby, respectively Dexter Green. Also Daisy was especially cruel when it came to significant issues. She ran over a woman and killed her, yet afterwards she simply went home and ate dinner, as nothing happened. She cared more about the heat than the person she murdered. Judy was heartless too when it came to the men who adored her."

From the Paper
"Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota. His given names indicate his parent's pride in his father's distant cousin who authored the National Anthem (Brief pg). Fitzgerald attended St. Paul Academy where his first writing appeared in the school newspaper when he was thirteen years old. At Princeton in 1917, he focused his attention on his literary apprenticeship, writing scripts and lyrics for the Princeton Triangle Club musicals and contributing to the Princeton Tiger humor magazine and the Nassau Literary Magazine (Brief pg). Having neglected his studies and unlikely to graduate, Fitzgerald joined the army that year and convinced that he was going to die in the war, he quickly wrote his first novel, 'The Romantic Egotist' and submitted it to Charles Scribner's Sons for publication (Brief pg). While stationed at Camp Sheridan, outside Montgomery, Alabama, in 1918, he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre, the eighteen year old daughter of an Alabama Supreme Court judge (Brief pg). He was discharged in 1919 and moved to New York to pursue his career (Brief pg)."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses President John F. Kennedy's support for the Apollo space program. According to the paper, his interest was not so much focused on space exploration itself, but rather on the political ends to be gained from the success of such a publicly popular endeavor.
Outline:
Political Motivations
After the Decision: Financial and Scheduling Issues
Project Mercury
Project Gemini
Speculation: What if Kennedy had lived?
From the Paper
"On this issue, Kennedy and Webb experienced a serious disagreement during the meeting. Webb, as mentioned above, was concerned about the technical and scientific necessity of key programs at NASA for the success of the Apollo mission. Programs such as the Centaur upper stage and the Surveyor would for example be neglected if Apollo received priority attention above all else. Webb's second concern was his own negotiating position in the face of a clear statement from the president regarding the priority of Apollo. If the president were to clearly state the priority of Apollo above other programs, Webb feared that this might be to the detriment of his position (Garber, 2002)."
"Specifically, the key programs mentioned above were not formally part of the Apollo program. Webb nonetheless believed that their timely completion was crucial to the success of Apollo. Centaur for example was created with the purpose of robotic probes into space, its relevance to the Apollo program lay in its use of liquid hydrogen for a propulsion fuel. Webb felt that the knowledge gained from the use of this fuel was vital to the Apollo program. According to Garber (2002), this was an accurate assessment, as benefits were indeed gained from observing Centaur's use of these fuels."
