Abstract
This paper discusses the three most important things a leader needs to know about the human system of organization, and reviews the concepts and demonstrates how good leaders create good employees motivated to perform well consistently, and employees that are influenced to achieve their best on the job.
From the Paper
"Performance management has always been difficult for managers and employees, because many employees and management agents look at performance management as a chore rather than as a tool they can use to streamline communications and improve performance. Many managers are reluctant to rate employees negatively, which can also impact performance because it does not allow the employee to make the necessary changes he or she should make to improve importance. To help remedy this many organizations including federal agencies are working to create pay for performance systems where employees are paid with regard to merit. This means managers will need to become more critical of an employee's performance if the employee is to receive just compensation for their hard work. This system may be more beneficial than a points system, where most employees receive raises because of some set "standard" rather than their actual skills or ability. Still other organizations are attempting "dual performance rating systems" that would allow managers to review employee performance from more than one vantage; for example, PepsiCo now reviews employee performance based on their ability to meet or contribute to personal objectives the employee may have but also "business management objectives" that the manager or organization may set up, inclusive of employee goals."

Abstract
This paper discusses the elements that are key components to art. It specifically focuses on the elements of art and design of form, unity and subject. The paper defines and discusses each of these elements and then discusses how different smaller components function together to create the elements of form and unity that we find within art.
From the Paper
"The principles of art would not exist without the individual elements of art. In other words, elements of art work together to create the principles of art. For instance, individual elements of art, such as forms, can appear again and again within a work of art to create the principle of repetition. The principle of repetition lends to the principle of harmony, in which unity is created by the appearance of elements over and over again. Repetition also creates the principle of movement, in which activity is displayed in an image through the manipulation of an element, such as a repeated form. Furthermore, compositional unity can be created by repeated lines, shapes, colors, or patterns. Harmony is the principle of art that is produced due to the achievement of unity in a composition. A work cannot have unity without harmony, and cannot have harmony without unity. The principles of movement and repetition are integral components to the unity and therefore the harmony of any composition."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Celtic culture is one of Europe's oldest, surviving for thousands of years through several foreign invasions and through settlement in some of Europe's most inhospitable regions. It looks at how even today, Celtic culture thrives in pockets of Wales, Scotland and Ireland, where people continue to speak Celtic-based languages such as Gaelic and Welsh, and honor the free-spirited warrior history of the Celts. Because of the longevity of the Celtic culture, this paper attempts to determine whether it can be considered the most influential culture in European history.
Outline:
The Influence of the Celts
Arguments Against the Celts
The Celts Were not Europe's Most Influential Culture
From the Paper
"There is an argument to be made that the Celts are one of the most resilient cultures in European history. Celtic history stretches back as far as 1,200 B.C., and the Celts, who were essentially a group of loosely affiliated tribes who spoke similar languages and practiced similar customs, once saw their territory stretch from the rocky Atlantic cliffs of Ireland and England to the Black Sea in Eastern Europe (O'Neill). It was a territory one might more readily associate with the Roman Empire, which certainly had a significant influence over European history and development. "

From the Paper
"This study will consider a number of elements of the "submissive" middle class in Japanese society as described and analyzed in Karel van Wolferen's "The Enigma of Japanese Power".
The basis of much of the power and order of Japan in the world in the late years of the 20th century is what van Wolferen calls the "submissive" nature of that society. As the author notes, "The post-war aims of the Japanese System have been entrusted mainly to the economic organizations. The System is preoccupied with industrial and commercial pursuits.. " And industrial and commercial pursuits are successful because of submissive and obedient workers, who are modeled on the "salaryman" model.
As the author writes, " . . . The term 'salaryman' connotes much more than 'office clerk' or 'white-collar worker'; it stands ... "

Abstract
This essay will focus on a claim of value within the structure of Annette T. Rottenberg's style of argument with her book entitled "Elements of Argument". By analyzing a claim to value in an objective projected by a business, we can use these arguments to achieve a greater understanding of how a value can be projected onto an item and convincingly revealed. Value can be determined by the way that is presented in Toulmin' system of argumentation through the scope of a business writer like Rottenberg. The essay will cover her methods-via the Toulmin System- and seek to uncover a value claim within its perimeters.

Abstract
This paper examines a few outstanding poetic elements which three prominent American poets have used to convey the messages they wish to impart to readers. Along the way the paper notes how each poem, while undeniably great nonetheless, uses different tools to become so. The paper is also quick to note how the best poetry, using the work of Tato LaViera as one example, is able to use common place literary devices like repetition in ways that make predictability agreeable.
From the Paper
"Great poetry uses certain techniques in much the same way great fiction uses literary techniques to craft a story or draw a character. This paper will briefly examine three poems - Alberto Rios' "Seniors", Edgar Allan Poe's "The Haunted Palace", and Tato LaViera's "American" - and discuss the dominant poetic elements which animate each. In the end, what should become clear is that there are many different ways of producing memorable poetry in the modern age, and each of these authors does an expert job of finding what is needed to convey the message they wish convey. In Alberto Rios' "Seniors", the reader is confronted with the clever use of both middle and informal diction."

Elements of Fiction in Joyce and Faulkner, 2006.
This paper looks at the elements of fiction that are found in the literary works of Joyce and Faulkner.

Abstract
This paper examines the use of three fictive elements--setting, characterization and point-of-view--in Joyce's 'Eveline' and Faulkner's 'Barn Burning'. The paper explores the importance of these literary devices in making the works in question more resonant with the reader and notes that there are actually excepting, of course, the obvious differences in subject matter many more similarities than differences between the two works. The writer concludes that in the end, each story is as much a marvelously-constructed bit of literature as it is a work of imagination.
From the Paper
"Both Faulkner and Joyce were brilliant story-tellers who knew how to use fictive elements to full effect. The following paper will explore three fictive elements - setting, character and point-of-view - as they are employed by both writers. In particular, the paper will review Joyce's "Eveline" and Faulkner's "Barn Burning" and argue that the differences between the two works begin and effectively end with their subject matter; beyond that, their use of literary technique is arrestingly similar. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of these issues that we now turn. As mentioned above, Joyce's "Eveline" uses three elements of fiction - setting, character and point-of-view - especially well."

Irish Cultures, 2005.
A look at early Irish art and literature and how it helps define early Irish culture.

Abstract
This paper examines early Irish art and literature in an effort to gain insight into early Irish heritage and culture. The paper discusses Le Tene art, Celtic art, the emergence of craft centers or workshops, influences on Le Tene art and Le Tene art's influence on other cultures as well as early Christian artifacts, the importance and significance of the Ulster cycle in Irish literature, and how the story "The Tain Bo Cuailgne" represents the rough, common life of the early Irish.
From the Paper
"When attempting to explore early Irish cultures, we can discover much when we observe art and literature in conjunction with historical information. Historical facts only present a portion of the picture, while artifacts and literature fill in the gaps. Art from the Le Tene culture offers incredible insight into early Irish heritage because literacy was not widespread. Symbols and images depicted on pieces discovered at this time represent rituals and beliefs. While most of the population could not write, the literature from the Ulster era helps support what we can learn from artifacts. In addition, when we combine what we see and read from the arts of early Irish cultures, we discover a remarkable connection to historical accounts of these people."

Abstract
This paper uses Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado", Chopin's "The Story of an Hour", and Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" to demonstrate the importance and effectiveness of techniques such as imagery, symbolism, and the use of a narrator as a character in fictional writing.
From the Paper
"The narrator's voice in fiction is one of the most important elements in fiction for a variety of reasons, as the two works, "The Cask of Amontillado" by Poe and "The Story of an Hour" by Chopin clearly illustrate. Poe's makes his story more dramatic and chilling by using a first-person narrator who not only brings the reader into the action, but is actually the person walling up his "friend" because he wants revenge for a perceived wrong. The story would certainly have been different if Poe had used third person narration. Not only would it remove the perpetrator of the crime as the only voice the reader knows, it would break up the story by perhaps adding the thoughts and feelings of Fortunato as he was walled up, and this would take away the climax of the dramatic ending of the story."

Abstract
The writer of this paper focuses on the common themes present in all three works of writing, which are comprised of the feminist perspective, the characters it creates and the resulting conflict. This paper analyzes the main female characters in all three novels, in which each possesses a distinct character that creates the mood for each piece. The writer also discusses the ensuing conflict among the characters. This paper delves into the practice of female authors who write female characters that often have a different perspective than their male counterparts. The writer contends and describes why these three works are decidedly female, decidedly different and all written with a noticeable attitude. The writer of this paper discusses the many layers that are needed to create fiction when writing and how those layers differ from story to poem to play and back again. This paper details the uniqueness of each character in all three works and the manner in which they deal with conflict. This paper also focuses on each of the authors' unique style of writing.
From the Paper
"This is also a very common bond between all the characters. They are all such strong and unique personalities that they create conflict around them. They are not afraid to speak their minds and open up their hearts, and so, they are sometimes strident and sometimes controversial. They live their lives with passion, doing the things they love, and they sometimes irritate and clash with those around them. This young writer is not fulfilling her mother's dreams, she is fulfilling her own, and so, she has a long-term conflict with her mother. Even though the story never actually says so, it is clear the writer will have a conflict with her mother throughout her life, and so will the girl who wants to serve up her brother's heart on a plate."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"The other objection to the technology revolution is that increased productivity means that fewer workers are needed to do the same amount of work. For many companies, this equates to job cuts. Workers enjoy the empowerment that technology provides, but they resent the loss of job security that it entails. Many people point out that technology will create new jobs, but this is small consolation to the people who lose their jobs because of productivity gains. Employees need to increase constantly their skills to enhance job security as well as job enrichment, and companies need to give them the opportunity to do so."
