The paper discusses his personal successes, as well as the general ones to the industry.
From the Paper
"Film Studies: Understanding the Cause and Effect of the Success of Film Director: George Lucas This film study will examine the role of George Lucas within the business and filming causal factors that brought about his enormous success in the filming industry. In creating his classic Star Wars, Lucas had the financial and copyright incentives to allow him to "bank roll" his own films. In this manner, Lucas was able to pioneer a new way of viewing the financial background of filmmaking, but more importantly, was able to create Industrial Light and Magic and his own merchandising approach to filmmaking history. By actively using a business and biographical analysis of director George Lucas, one can realize the depth and importance of his work in modern American film history. Gorge Lucas was born in 1944 in Modesto, California."

George Caitlin Stories, 2002.
Comparing two books telling the story of George Caitlin, an American writer and painter, in two completely different ways -"Paintbrush & Peacepipe: The Story of George Catlin", by Anne Rockwell and "George Catlin and the Old Frontier", by Harold McCracken
2,795 words (approx. 11.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 134.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows that even though the two books tell the same life story of Caitlin, each one differs most significantly in tone and style according to the vastly different audiences to which each is directed. Rockwell's book was intended for children - less pages and more illustration, whereas McCracken's book presents itself as a very authoritive piece on Caitlin's life in an artbook format.
From the Paper
"The first book, Paintbrush and Peacepipe, 86 small pages in length, with 8 brief chapters and 15 illustrations, is written for children. By comparison, the second book, George Catlin and the Old Frontier, with its 209 oversized pages might seem a vastly superior presentation of George Catlin's biography. The artbook format of McCracken's work, with its 36 color and 118 black and white illustrations, is far more authoritative and detailed in its representation of the scope of Catlin's art. Yet, Paintbrush & Peacepipe, in it's minimalist manner is a highly educational and effective piece of work."

Abstract
This essay applies the theories contained in Barber's book Presidential Character, to George W. Bush and investigates which personality profile he fits into. The author analyzes whether he is active, positive, passive or negative. Includes an in-depth look into the Bush's formative years.
From the Paper
"In his book Presidential Character, James Barber outlines certain characteristics, traits and life experiences which he feels produce particular types of presidents. Depending on these characteristics, traits and experiences, he then provides the reader with four possible categories within which to place the candidate. By ascertaining which category a contender falls into, Barber maintains that society can and should judge their suitability for presidential office. A major element in ascertaining a candidate?s category is the study of their personality. Barber feels that personality is ?patterned?, meaning that character, worldview and style all work together in its creation. Once one has an in-depth knowledge of a candidate?s personality, one is able to analyze how they would react and interact with current world forces, events and issues. Barber also stresses the importance of researching the president?s childhood and the environment in which their personality was shaped, through to the initial important decisions made in adult life."

Steffler's George Cartwright, 2002.
A character analysis of John Steffler's George Cartwright from the novel "The Afterlife of George Cartwright."
1,620 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 84.95
»

Abstract
This paper is a character analysis of Steffler's main character in "The Afterlife of George Cartwright". It focuses on the character's traits of unloving, wild, a corruptor and himself corrupted and how they change within the novel. Cartwright begins as a just young man in the army and becomes what he had always hated, a true corruptor of society.
From the Paper
"When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters" (Hemingway, 95). Steffler achieves the creation of a person in the character of George Cartwright by blending numerous personality traits. These traits can be both pleasant, and upsetting, and either creates distance or closeness between Cartwright and the other characters. In order to make the character more realistic Steffler creates a progression in some of these traits, to create the illusion of growth in Cartwright over the span of his lifetime. Paradoxically, everything Cartwright claims to hate he later embodies. This is not entirely of his accord; his early years in the army set up his adult characteristics. His development is from a man of pride and ambition, although rough and rugged, to an uncivilized corruptor of native society. His pride and ambition are spoiled when he realizes that it is wealth that buys you promotions in the army and not skill or hard work. He grows to become the man Steffler portrays as unloving, wild, and as both corrupted and as a corruptor. "

Manufacturing Enterprises in Kenya, 2008.
A review of the paucity of medium size manufacturing enterprises in Kenya and the challenges and development strategies in industrial development.
5,400 words (approx. 21.6 pages), 22 sources, APA, AU$ 213.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses that the role of small and medium enterprises (SME's) in developing countries is increasingly being recognized as pollinating the development process. The paper notes that this contributes to creation of employment opportunities, training of entrepreneurs, generating income and also provides a source of livelihood to the majority of low-income households. The paper focuses on Kenya and highlights that there is a high concentration of small businesses as compared to medium enterprises, which implies that there is a low rate of graduation from small to medium enterprises in terms of the size of work force. The paper discusses the reasons attributed to the low graduation process which includes lack of growth motivated entrepreneurs, environmental constraints to growth, lack of skills, lack of credit and technological barriers among other reasons. This paper recommends that the government should be at the fore front in pursuing policies geared towards restoring and enhancing the growth and development of small and medium manufacturing enterprises which include providing support services.
Outline:
Abstract
Introduction
The Nature of the Small and Medium Scale-Manufacturing Sector in Kenya
Growth of the Small Business
The Models of Small Firm Growth
Barriers to SME's Growth and Graduation Process
Effects of the "Missing Middle" on Economic Development and Industrialization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to NBS the ownership of SMEs in Kenya shows that men account for 52 percent and women 48 percent, yet men account for 66 percent of the manufacturing activities, while a meager 34 percent are women. This finding shows the magnitude of gender disparity in the manufacturing sector. The government should recognize the urgent need for a gender-mainstreaming framework in the manufacturing sector. The government should identify critical constraints that affect equal participation of both men and women in manufacturing in order to bridge the missing middle. Policy formulation should specifically address transition from small to medium manufacturing enterprises with special incentives."

Since Saudi Arabia is depending too much on the oil industry, the government has started to implement a series of policies and reforms that are meant to encourage the development of the private sector. Foreign investments are also encouraged by the Saudi Arabian government. The country's economic diversification process includes sectors like: power generation, telecom, natural gas, and petrochemical industries (CIA, 2007)."

Abstract
This paper explores the work of conceptual artist Sarah Lucas. It argues that Lucas challenges gender stereotypes and the image of the "anguished male artist." The paper looks at conceptual art as an oppositional process.
From the Paper
"Sarah Lucas is known for her provocative work. Using mundane objects such as food and furniture, she takes words and images and transforms them into metaphors for sexual objects. Ready-made food and furniture are imbued with new meaning. The innocence of the original object becomes something else entirely. The objects imbued with new meaning carry with them crude and sexual connotations. Sarah Lucas goes against the grain. In addition, through her work that emphasizes the ordinary person in ordinary surroundings she challenges the..."

King George III and Machiavelli's "Prince", 2004.
Explains why King George III was a living model of Machiavelli?s ?The Qualities of a Prince?.
700 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The basic premise in Machiavelli?s ?The Qualities of a Prince? states that as long as a prince is not hated, his subjects will be loyal and his reign successful. Therefore, the abuses outlined in ?The Declaration of Independence? coincide with the attributes listed by Machiavelli of an unsuccessful prince. One can tell by the tone in which ?The Declaration of Independence? is written that King George III is hated by the colonists. On more than one occasion, Thomas Jefferson refers to the King as a tyrant. This paper discusses how King George III?s actions support Machiavelli?s claim that a prince is most hated when he, among other things, disrespects the land and women of his subjects, deprives men of their honor, and shows excessive cruelty.
From the Paper
"Machiavelli states, ?so long as you do not deprive them of ?their honor, the majority of men live happily? (Machiavelli, ?The Qualities of a Prince?, 48). Comparatively, Thomas Jefferson also lists grievances that pertain to men being deprived of their honor ?By [constraining] our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their County, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands? (Thomas Jefferson, ?The Declaration of Independence?, 80). King George III stripped men taken captive of all honor and dignity by making them choose to either murder their family or take their own life. King George III also deprived the colonists ?the benefits of Trial by Jury? (80). The fact that King George III repeatedly ?called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures? (79) is quite demeaning in a society governed by Representation."

Parking at George Brown College, 2008.
A discussion of the parking issues at George Brown College, Saint James campus.
755 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper addresses the insufficient and poorly managed parking at the George Brown College and relates that these parking problems can have a long-term negative impact on the overall reputation of the college and can impact student registration levels. The paper's authors undertook an informal survey of students and then conclude that the George Brown College should implement the recommendations of the students who live with the shortcomings of the campus parking issue on a daily basis. The paper itself recommends allocating funding for the construction of an underground parking facility.
Outline:
Introduction
Goals & Objectives
Background
Survey Results
Respondent Observations
Conclusions & Recommendations
From the Paper
"The campus of George Brown College has a recognized problem with parking for student and staff alike. Not only is their insufficient parking at the George Brown College, Saint James campus, but the parking that does exist is poorly managed and unfairly mediated by campus parking services. It has been determined that unless these issues are rectified in an equitable manner, they will manifest a long-term negative impact on the overall reputation of the college as well as potentially impact student registration levels. The fact of this negative impact of parking services on long-term student enrolment and performance has been substantiated in other academic research studies which have shown that such issues as campus parking form an important component of the overall academic environment of a college or university that directly impacts both student and institutional performance (Karemera, Reuben & Sillah). These issues should be taken very seriously by the college administration at risk of long-term enrolment and viability."

The Presidency of George H. W. Bush, 2008.
An analysis of the success and failure of the presidency of George H. W. Bush.
2,170 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 108.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines some of the major events during George H. W. Bush's presidency. The paper analyzes his accomplishments during his presidency and explains that his influence was such that it is at times difficult to remember that he was only a one-term president. In fact, some of the events that took place during his presidency, as well as his response to them, are still having an effect today. The paper concludes that President George Herbert Walker Bush is an intriguing blend of both success and failure. The paper suggests that though his military actions were swift and apparently successful in terms of accomplishing certain set goals, they were not significant in reducing the overall problems in either Panama or Iraq.
Outline:
Major Events
Panama Invasion
The Savings and Loan Bailout Scandal
The Americans with Disabilities Act
The Collapse of the Soviet Union
Persian Gulf War
Success or Failure?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even before Bush's presidency, Manuel Noriega was considered a serious problem. The Reagan administration had attempted to provide Noriega with aid for the Contras, which he then used to send illegal drugs into the United States (Childress 83). In addition, Noriega had already been found to be involved in money laundering for the considerable drug trade that went through Panama. Finally, this dictator was considered guilty of many human rights violations of his country's people. According to Ryan J. Barilleaux and Mark Rozell, George Bush himself expressed the desire to see Noriega removed from his position, in May 1989 and, for the reasons mentioned above, the American public favored his overthrow (28)."

George Washington, 2004.
This paper discusses George Washington?s political leadership.
2,230 words (approx. 8.9 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 112.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, judging from his historical record, George Washington was not a leader who avoided taking the initiative to make important and effective snap decisions during trying times of crisis. The author points out that Washington was perhaps among the greatest of the American presidents in the area of moral authority. His leadership was informed by a staunch morality that provided the general public with a near-mythical model of correct speech and action. The paper states that George Washington?s policy on international relations shows he was a leader who was well aware of the world around him, and his first international objective concerned the setup of friendly foreign relations for the peaceful continuance of American national growth.
Table of Contents
Crisis Leadership
Moral Authority
International Relations
Setting an Agenda for the American Nation
From the Paper
"While the slow building of Hamiltonian Federalism and Jeffersonian
Republicanism was too gradual and inevitable to really be called a crisis, the eventual clash of the two forces was, in that it split the country into two distinct halves: the industrialized northeast and the agrarian south. In the south, a form of aristocracy was growing up more around an agrarian economy of bartering than an industrial economy of liquid capital. The president was pressed by Thomas Jefferson, a representative of the blue-blooded south; and Alexander Hamilton, a man of humble beginnings who had made a name for himself through his genius and financial acumen. Washington did the best that he could to see both sides of the story, and when he instituted a federalized bank, it was assumedly with reservations concerning the negative reactions his friend."

Abstract
This paper describes the organizational behavior of Livingston Enterprises. It discusses the four types of organizations that can be created and that serve as the basis of an organization's behavior - the autocratic philosophy, the custodial philosophy, the supportive organization and the collegial organization. The paper then discusses organizational culture and its affect on a business. Finally, the paper explains that the culture of the collegial organization is the type of organizational culture that Livingston Enterprises must work toward accomplishing in order to achieve their business goals.
From the Paper
"Yet, both types of groups have leaders and they have members who believe that they are important elements within the group. However, informal groups can affect formal groups because members of one informal group may be members of many formal groups. Furthermore, if the members of the informal group determine that they are unsatisfied within the company, their attitudes and behaviors will eventually affect all of the organizational members and the informal group will continue to expand (Sims, 2002, p. 168). Therefore, in formal or informal groups there is a need for the group members to be capable of interacting and to share their ideas freely. This action creates a support system for the employees that should also support the organization and promote a positive organizational behavior."
