From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to analyze and summarize the book, Inside Prime Time, by Todd Gitlin.
In general, this book is a fascinating look at the inside workings of prime time network television. The author is concerned with the power, politics, and the nature of the decision-making process governing prime time TV. Gitlin is especially interested in the logic (or illogic) of network decision making, and is curious about what attention network executives really give to ratings and program tests, and what discretion remains to them once all the numbers are counted and deployed. The question of how network executives read public moods and political swings is also on the author's mind. Why do network programmers imitate themselves? What difference, if any, does it make who occupies the executive suites, or the studios..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the female protagonists in Rebecca Harding Davis' 'Life in the Iron Mills" and Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" are very different. However, the two women are markedly the prisoners of the patriarchal society that has caught them in its net. The author points out that both women focus all their energy on their male companions, being almost obsessively preoccupied with them. The paper describes both stories.
From the Paper
""Life in the Iron Mills" is the somber story of the grey, empty life of a worker in the iron mills, Hugh Wolfe. In the midst of his brutish life, he has an artistic vision: he is able to model figurines out of the waste materials left at the mill. His aspirations are thwarted nevertheless, and he dies in utter misery. His fate obviously symbolizes the terrible destiny of the working-class people, who had no perspectives outside a barren, instinctual life. The secondary character of this story, Deborah, who is Hugh's cousin, is however an even more interesting figure which perfect the realistic picture drawn by Davis."

From the Paper
"It is likely that Americans, whose attention to the rest of the world tends to be sporadic, and driven largely by immediate events or strong emotional "hooks," are now inclined to relegate Arabs and the Arab world to a sort of benign neglect. Arab oil money has long since been replaced in popular fears by Japanese economic inroads. The Persian Gulf War has faded into history, and Americans' anxious attentions are now focused on Bosnia, a largely Muslim country but not an Arab one. Palestinians and Israelis have signed a peace; an uncertain and fragile peace to be sure, but peace does not make news.
Even "Islamic fundamentalists" have, for now, faded from the television news. When a federal building was blown up in Oklahoma, with heavy loss of life, the media and the public jumped at once to the conclusion that it was the doing of Arabs, ... "

"Inside Game/Outside Game", 2005.

1,481 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 78.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how Rusk's book is an insightful and well-researched addition to the current understanding of urban management and public administration. The writer explains that Rusk argues convincingly that improvement in inner city neighborhoods can only come from a coordinated effort that includes regional approaches to reducing suburban growth, the concentration of poverty, and financial differences.
From the Paper
"In Inside Game / Outside Game, Rusk argues for reform of metropolitan regions based on the interrelationship between urban management and management of other, outside concerns, like taxation, suburban growth, and housing practices. Rusk argues that revitalization of neighborhoods, affordable housing, preservation of open space and fiscal policy reform are closely related. As such, changes in factors like taxation or housing practices can have a profound effect in urban neighborhoods."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Intel is embracing Web 2.0 as a marketing platform. It looks at the conflicts that Intel marketing has had in creating marketing applications, strategies and techniques relying on Web 2.0 as the foundation. The paper also looks at the lessons that can be learned from Intel's approach to completely re-vamping their Intel Inside Program.
Table of Contents:
Intel Enters the Web 2.0 World with Intel Inside 2007
Intel's Culture of Measurement Pervades Web 2.0 Marketing
Lessons Learned
From the Paper
"Intel's approach to completely re-vamping their Intel Inside Program for a re-launch in 2007 has been successful in breaking down the silos that exist inside the company, and has successfully leveraged the Internet as the new operating platform. The use of SEM techniques, the re-vamping of entire websites, introduction of digital branding sites and guidelines, even the creation of an online center for assisting in developing and placing Google AdWords Ads have all contributed to a world-class e-marketing strategy. The synchronization of these many e-marketing programs with each reseller's sales performance is also showing that with the re-design of Intel Inside to capitalize on the many benefits of Web 2.0 technologies is delivering more qualified sales leads and opportunities faster than before as well."

Abstract
The writer explains that John Wesley and his brother, Charles, founded the movement as an alternative to the English Anglican Church. The paper shows how the Methodist Episcopal Church began its migration to the Colonies in approximately 1772, and how the Church began to take on radical changes from the doctrines of Wesleyan Methodism. Included in these changes was the renaming of the church to The United Methodist Church. In summation, in opposition to the original doctrine of the Church regarding centralized functioning, the paper shows that the majority of attendees feel that decisions made in the local church will be more effective.
Table of Contents:
Thesis Statement
The Movement in the Colonies and Westward
Organizing of the United Methodists
The Future of the United Methodist Church
Bibliography
From the Paper
"At the same time as the Southern migration is occurring the Methodist movement is also moving Northward across the Ohio River, and into Indiana. This migration is taking place within a period a full fifteen years before Indiana becomes a State and creates for the Methodist Episcopal Church many contentious issues concerning the governance of the Church and its mission at this point in History. For example, with a Church population spreading so rapidly and far flung, how does the Methodist Episcopal Church provide "ministers," for their large and now scattered flock?
"Indiana ironically enough and to the displeasure of John and Charles Wesley becomes the center for control of the Church and from this organization of power comes the new organization known as the United Methodist Church. For American Methodism theology, doctrine, leadership, organization and worship models come directly from John Wesley's movement of the eighteenth century England. However, Wesley's appeal is to English Anglicans whose relationship to their church had been decidedly "luke-warm," and is lacking in the drive for a personal God-man relationship. It is the desire for a personal God-man relationship that the persons in the frontier of the rapidly expanding United States want most to aid and comfort them in the endurance of the hardships they face."

"Evil: Inside Human Violence & Cruelty" ( Roy Baumeister ), 1999.
Critical review of work on four root causes of human evil.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
" Evil is in the eye of the beholder. Roy Baumeister makes a convincing case for this assertion in his book, "Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty." Baumeister also debunks the popular myth of evil perpetuated by the media in its coverage of random acts of violence, i.e., violence is often committed by crazed, blood-thirsty individuals. Almost any person is capable of evil if sufficient self control is not exercised.
Baumeister defines evil in its broadest sense. He restricts his analysis to acts of evil perpetrated by human beings. Since the most common manifestation of evil is violence, the author makes this the focal point of his study, but also considers various other forms, such as oppression and petty cruelty.
One of the problems with studying evil is that a magnitude gap exists between the perpetrator of evil and the victim. As.."

Intel Inside, 2006.
An analysis of Intel's success and global domination of the microprocessor market.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 0 sources, AU$ 143.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Intel, the global leader in microprocessors that computer manufacturers use in their production of computers. According to this paper, Intel employs over 86,000 people worldwide and in 2001 generated revenues of $26 billion. Intel's market dominance seems to be accompanied by an irrational paranoia that Intel must be more than a microprocessor manufacturer in the way that Nike is more than a shoe company but a lifestyle producer. It begins with Intel's Red X marketing campaign and continues on with the Blue Men Group marketing campaign. The paper further discusses how Intel has sought market differentiation based not on product specification but on cultural iconography.

"The Spider Eaters" - An Inside View of Mao's China, 2007.
A review of the book "The Spider Eaters" by Rae Yang.

Abstract
This paper discusses Rae Yang's memoir - "The Spider Eaters". The paper explains that the books is the story of a classless person who came of age during the Cultural Revolution and who obviously worked hard to present her experiences in a direct and emotional manner. The paper explains that Yang's volume covers the decades between 1950 and 1980 and clearly illustrates the cruelty that Yang came to see all around her though a committed communist and Red Guard. The paper also shows how Yang's memoir points to Mao as a very aware person, a megalomaniac in Communist clothing who had no care as to the degree of cruelty that was inflicted through an entire society, or how this experience might shape future Chinese society and politics. In conclusion, the paper shows that Mao and the Chinese Cultural Revolution destroyed the Chinese who might have had much to offer the socialist experiment, drove great wedges between people and accustomed the Chinese once again to conditions of great fear.
From the Paper
"Mao's regime could be, just as the Red Guard she came to recognize as brutal, a movement quickly dissolving into anarchy, a kind of gang warfare, till the Red Army intervened. This is an interesting revelation given that one is so often instructed that Mao was not aware of the abuses inflicted on many Chinese during the Cultural Revolution, that the Red Army had somehow taken over or carried out what he had not intended. Yang's memoir points to Mao as a very aware person, a megalomaniac in Communist clothing who had no care as to the degree of cruelty that was inflicted through an entire society, or how this experience might shape future Chinese society and politics. Yang's volume covers the decades between 1950 and her 1980. Shortly after, Yang left for the United States where she made her career."

Abstract
The following paper discusses a brief ethnography of a cultural institution, the Albion College Swim Team Culture. The writer discusses the relatively few formal rules of behavior and general lack of hierarchy in the team. The way in which the members of the team draw on values and patterns of behavior that they have brought with them from the larger world are examined as well as the way in which they draw from their own experiences about being taught how to behave in American culture.
From the Paper
?All cultures and all peoples mark significant events in their lives with rituals and ceremonies. Sometimes these are of a religious nature, but they do not need to be. Rituals, as Maurice Bloch defines them, are recognizable to the participants by their repetitive nature and the formally prescribed elements that they contain and they mark out for the participants the important themes of the culture. Rituals must be done a certain way to ?count? for the individuals concerned, and following tradition is more important in a ritual than seeking personal fulfillment through individual expression. This is certainly true for members of the swim team.?

Inside and Outside, 2005.
This paper examines Robert Venturi's "Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture" that discusses bringing the interior and exterior together.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the meaning of Robert Venturi's statement that architects now work to bring the interior and exterior closer together. Their goal is to make the exterior reflect the interior, with one way of achieving this melding being the use of flowing space. The paper notes that other means have also been taken to achieve this combination of interior and exterior in buildings.
From the Paper
"What Robert Venturi writes in his book "Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture" is on the one hand intuitive and fits with what many people realize as a matter of course; namely, that the exterior of a building does not necessarily reveal what is on the interior. Venturi notes the effort by architects to bring the interior and exterior closer together when he writes, Contrast between the inside and the outside can be a major manifestation of contradiction in architecture. However, one of the powerful twentieth century orthodoxies has been the necessity for continuity between them: the inside should be expressed on the outside. But this is not really new---only our means have been new. One way of achieving this melding has been the use of flowing space, which "produced an architecture of related horizontal and vertical planes." Other means have also been taken to achieve this combination of interior and exterior in buildings."

From the Paper
"Sholom Aleichem's Inside Kasrilevke is a novel in the guise of a travel book, meant to examine and appreciate the fictional city of Kasrilevke. The intent of the author is to create an imaginative city which will evoke the reader's sympathies for the unique human population of that city and for the many various social and economic sufferings which they endure and generally overcome.
The author, who purports to be a native of the city returning after some time away, declares in his Foreword that "it has occurred to me that there is no better way of showing my gratitude to my friends in Kasrilevke for their hospitality [on his visit to his parents' graves there] than by spreading the fame of their city far and wide" (7). The author leaves no doubt in his conclusion that the people of the city are indeed hardy ..."
