Paper Abstract:
Life, career, theories & major works of 20th Cent. French medievalist.
Paper Introduction:
Jacques Le Goff, author of Intellectuals in the Middle Ages (1993) and The Medieval Imagination (1988), among many other books and scholarly articles, is one of the most prominent of contemporary French medievalists. Indeed, as editor since 1972 of both Ethnologie Francaise and the historical journal Annales: Economies, societies, civalizations, he may legitimately be called the doyen of French medieval studies at the present date. As such, an evaluation of his work and of its relationship to his background and career is of interest not only in itself, as a discussion of a prominent medievalist, but for what it says about the whole development of medieval studies in recent decades, at least (or especially) in France.
The argument of the following essay is that Le Goff's work shows serious defects. These defects extend from his

Paper Abstract:
Life, career, appeal, skills, major films of martial arts film star.
Paper Introduction:
The career of Bruce Lee (1940-73) is one of the most interesting cases of cultural influence in the history of film. Lee's career as an actor in Hong Kong martial arts films--which he pursued after finding only minor success in American films--was one of the most successful ever. He revitalized action films in Hong Kong and, for the first time, Asian films were seen by large audiences in the United States. In part, Lee's appeal to Western audiences was simply based on the kinetic power of the wild, vigorous films that placed a premium on action and did not concern themselves to a great extent with the story, acting, and technical values that made Hollywood a major center of film production. Another factor in the appeal of the films was their simple exoticism. They were unlike anything American audiences had seen and offered a truly 'foreign' experience in many

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes moral beliefs & values of Southern general, emphasizing his views on educating youth & his love for family & the church.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyze the moral beliefs of General Robert E. Lee, with special emphasis on his concern for the education of the young people of the south and his love and concern for his family, including during the Civil War.
From the day that General Robert E. Lee left the army to become once again a private citizen he believed that it was the duty of the southern people to rebuild their homes and churches, and the duty of the nation to unite in a spirit of cooperation to put the Civil War behind them and seek a just and lasting peace.
Although he was offered large salaries many times to leave the state of Virginia, he declined all offers and elected to stay and take a position as an educator. The college walls at Lexington were still standing, but that was about all. There was

Paper Abstract:
Life, influences of family & career of Southern General in Civil War.
Paper Introduction:
By means of an unusual combination of circumstances and personal abilities Robert E. Lee (1807-70), more than any man in American history, earned a simultaneous reputation as a hero and a traitor. On the surface, of course, this is easily explained by the fact that he left the United States army to eventually become the commander of the Confederate forces. But Lee was also a general who did not believe war was a solution to political problems, a hero of the secessionists who held that secession was unconstitutional, the son of a hero of the American Revolution who worked hard to break the country apart, and a born aristocrat who believed that the Union, despite its Jeffersonian ideals of democracy, should be kept intact. It was Lee's fate, however, to be "the best representative of the aristocratic principle in all American history," which meant that he was loyal to the system

Paper Abstract:
Life,character, relationships, family life, impact of Presidency,her effects on Lincoln the man & the President.
Paper Introduction:
Mary Todd Lincoln (1818-82) was the first presidential wife to become the subject of extensive criticism and a center of controversy. Though, in any other time and circumstances, Lincoln might have made a fine first lady--with her education, social skills, intelligence, taste, and willingness to work on her husband's behalf--the impending secession and war raised political advocacy to such a pitch that her Southern origins, her spending, her manners, and even her appearance were attacked by enemies on both sides of many questions. But, in addition to her excellent qualities, Lincoln also had a strong tendency to express herself freely and too quickly, to allow her temper and anxieties to get the better of her, to be injudicious in her support of various office-seekers, and to spend money as a consolation for her emotional troubles. The years in the White

Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the life, work, and theological belief system of Martin Luther (1483-1546) regarding his vision of scripture as the way to salvation. The plan of the research will be to set forth the historical and theological context in which Martin Luther became a pivotal figure in European Christianity and the Protestant Reformation and then to discuss the pattern of ideas that emerged out of his experience, as well as the details of and means by which the articulation of these ideas exerted influence on the shape that European thought assumed as the medieval period made a transition toward the Renaissance.
When the late medieval period of the thirteenth century began to merge with the revival of classical learning and opened, by the time of the sixteenth century, into the Renaissance, a whole

Paper Abstract:
Examines ideas & assumptions in Heiko A. Oberman's biography "Luther: Man Between God and the Devil."
Paper Introduction:
This research examines Heiko A. Oberman's biography of Martin Luther, Luther: Man Between God and the Devil. The research will set forth an overview of the pattern of ideas contained in the work and then discuss the means by which its thesis, assumptions, and evidence are articulated, with a view toward locating the scope and limit of its import in the literature of the Protestant Reformation.
The perspective from which Oberman writes about Martin Luther determines the way the biography is structured, and the care with which Oberman explains that perspective does much to clarify the thesis of the book. Oberman takes the view that Luther was very much a man of his time--the close of what has been called the age of belief--and that his career as churchman, earnest reformer, radical shaker of the foundations (to use Paul Tilli

Search for new opportunities. Impact of white oppression. Criminal activities and prison. Conversion to Nation of Islam. His preaching and ministry. Relationship to Elijah Muhammad.
Paper Introduction:
Malcolm X was one of the most influential Afro-American leaders of the Black Nationalism movement in America. An advocate of vigorous self-defense against white violence, Malcolm X is considered an early influence on the black power movement in the late 1960s. Malcolm went from illiterate convict to minister the Harlem mosque within one year of joining Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. As a direct result of his effort, the Nation of Islam became the most well known and controversial black organization in the United States.
Malcolm Little was born on ay 19, 1925, in Omaha,Nebraska. His family moved from Omaha to Milwaukee shortly after Malcolm's birth, and later to Lansing, Michigan. Malcolm was initiated into violence, resistance, and religious rhetoric at a very young age. His father took him to the Garvey meetings that were

Paper Abstract:
Examines life, career & political & personal development of assassinated black leader & his role as symbol of pride in black community.
Paper Introduction:
On February 26, 1965, a breakaway member of the Black Muslim movement was preparing to deliver a speech at the Audobon auditorium in Harlem. As he stepped out onto the podium to speak, a disturbance broke out in the audience. Amid the disorder three gunmen--by some unconfirmed reports, there were more--reached the stage and opened fire on the speaker (Perry, 1991, pp. 366-67). When the firing ended, their target had been hit by 16 shotgun pellets and pistol rounds (Lord and Thornton, 1992, p. 84). He died almost instantly.
The slain speaker was Malcolm X, and the assassins were Black Muslims. Though conspiracy theories implicating whites, some including the FBI, have continued to revolve around the events in the Audobon, no credible evidence for such conspiracies has ever been found. Whether the assassination was ordered by

Life & career of Chinese Communist leader in historical, political & cultural perspectives.
Paper Introduction:
Mao Tse Tung in Historical Perspective
This research will examine the life and times of Mao Tse Tung in historical context, in order to more fully understand the nature of Mao's role in Chinese history. In the centuries before Mao's birth, China was possibly the world's least aggressive major nation. It was a center of learning and culture, but it had no military power of any consequence. This resulted in part from the pacifist teachings of the Buddhist religion (which had many converts among the Chinese) and in part from the nature of Chinese society, which was peaceful and serene, at least in comparison with the societies of Northern Europe.
No major empire has ever grown up in a plentiful region and then gone on to conquer the more poverty-stricken areas of the world. In every major case (Rome's conquest of Greece and Egypt,

Paper Abstract:
Life & career of third Chief Justice of Supreme Court.
Paper Introduction:
John Marshall was the third Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and he headed the Court during the era when the primary function of the Supreme Court was asserted, the task of settling constitutional disputes and deciding on the constitutionality of issues raised in the courts. Probably the most famous case of the Marshall court was indeed that of Marbury v. Madison in 1803, which established the right of the Supreme Court to undertake the judicial review of a congressional statute, a principal that pertains to this day and that gives the Supreme Court the power to overturn statues if they are deemed unconstitutional. The personality of Marshall had much to do with his choice of career, his success, his elevation to this high position, and many of the decisions he made and that his Court made under his tenure.

Paper Abstract:
Life & career of Supreme Court Justice & his major rulings.
Paper Introduction:
In his book John Marshall, Defender of the Constitution, Francis N. Stites tells the story of Marshall's life in a series of steps covering different periods in the man's life. Marshall was born in Virginia in 1755 and is described by Stites as a Virginian "by birth, upbringing, disposition, and property" (Stites 1). He became a lawyer in Virginia and was a Federalist during the era when the Constitution as being developed, and Stites analyzes the arguments on both sides in the debate over the Constitution and relates this to Marshall as defender of that document once he ascended to the Supreme Court. Marshall was key in defending the Federalist agenda in Virginia, and he was involved in the XYZ Affair in France. Because of his success in the latter case, he returned as a national hero and continued negotiating with France and writing to Talleyrand

Paper Introduction:
MARGARET MEAD
Born on December 16, 1901, Margaret Mead became one of the world’s leading anthropologists, and her fame became worldwide with the publication of her book “Coming of Age in Samoa”. However, despite the good reviews the book received, and the status she achieved in the field of Anthropology, her career was beset in later years with controversy over her data and research in Samoa.
In 1925, she went on “her first field trip, to undertake a ‘study in heredity and environment based on an investigation of the phenomenon of adolescence among primitive and civilized peoples.’ Her task, as she described it, would ‘involve working almost entirely with women, and should therefore add appreciably to our ethnological information on the subject of primitive women.’” (Howard 1995 1)

Paper Introduction:
Lise Meitner (1878-1968) overcame extraordinary odds to become one of the great physicists of the twentieth century. At a time when Austrian women were denied higher education and during a later time when Jews were persecuted and murdered, Meitner managed to obtain her doctorate and lead an extremely successful professional life. Her private life centered around her friends, many of them colleagues, and she did not marry or have, so far as is known, any romantic involvements. Politics and other circumstances denied her some of the rewards and the professional continuity that her achievement entitled her to enjoy. And, late in life, she was also distressed (even after having failed to get full credit for her role in the discovery of nuclear fission) to be identified with the development of the atomic bomb. Meitner, however, always said that she was very

Paper Abstract:
Reviews the early political history of modern Pakistan. Emphasizes the role of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the father of Pakistan.
Paper Introduction:
Pakistan came into being in 1947. The area was part of India until that time. It had been invaded by many Asian peoples through the centuries, with the Muslims arriving in waves from the early 1000s to the 1500s. The British took control over the whole subcontinent in the 1700s. The primarily Muslim areas of India gained independence in 1947 as Pakistan, which then was divided into two widely separated sections (the eastern section would become independent as Bangladesh in 1971). Fighting broke out almost immediately between Muslims and Hindus, and some 7 million Muslims fled from India to Pakistan, while about 6 million Hindus left Pakistan for India. Pakistan is an Islamic republic whose civilian government was ousted in 1977 by a military group, but civilian rule was returned in 1988 (Young students Learning Library, 1996).

Paper Abstract:
Life & career of 17th Cent. French playwright & his satirical social comedies, focusing on [Tartuffe].
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the life and work of the French playwright Molière, with special focus on the play Tartuffe. The plan of the research will be to set forth the biographical context in which Molière's work emerged, and then to discuss how Molière's work reflected the culture in which he lived and how that culture influenced and is reflected by his plays, as well as how his unique style of comedic theatre connected with the social environment of the period.
Among the most significant features of Molière's work is that it took place by and large in the milieu of the French court. Born in 1622 into the bourgeois family licensed as upholsterers to the king, Molière abandoned a law career to create an acting troupe in 1643, and he spent the next thirty years as an actor-playwright-manager whose company was either under

Life & career of Amer. businessman. Reasons for his success, obstacles he overcame, failures, management style, partnerships, personality.
Paper Introduction:
John Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) was arguably one of America's most successful financiers. During his career, he prospered during two financial panics, floated two bond issues during the Cleveland administration to help the American government maintain its gold reserves, organized one of the largest corporations in the world (United States Steel, now USX) and reorganized and consolidated railroads and other industrial interests. In the tradition of wealthy men of his time, he contributed significant amounts to various charities, amassed a large art and manuscript collection, and was active in his church. A yachting enthusiast, his yacht "Columbia" won the America's Cup in 1899 and 1901. This research examines the factors that contributed to Morgan's success, obstacles he overcame, failures he encountered and the management style he

Life & career of 19th Cent. Roman Catholic theologian & cardinal & author of autobiographical [Apologia pro Vita Sua].
Paper Introduction:
John Henry Newman was a major figure in the development of Roman Catholicism in England in the nineteenth century, and indeed he exercised a vital influence on the religious life of the nation. Newman left numerous writings about his life and his theology, and these have been influential ever since. His autobiography, Apologia pro Vita Sua, details his spiritual journey and the development of the theological thought that caused him to change his religious affiliation from the Anglican church to the Roman Catholic Church. In his autobiography, Cardinal Newman not only discusses the strength of his conversion and the nature of his spiritual shift, but also provides a strong defense of Catholicism against its critics and against those who would challenge his thought because of the conversion he underwent. Included in the work is an account of his role in the

Psychological Analysis of Pol Pot
Introduction
Although Pol Pot is dead and has not actually been in power for two decades, his effect on Cambodia continues. Cambodia has not yet been able to recover from the Khmer Rouge regime and the civil war that resulted from their overthrow. Brightman (1998) noted that some of the results of the Khmer Rouge regime can never be overturned. They eliminated certain strains of rice, destroyed old books, costumes, masks, and icons, and attempted to create a homogenized society reflecting agrarian and Communist values. The leader of that effort was Pol Pot.

Life & military career of first black Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
General Colin Powell was the first black officer to become the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This accomplishment came after a long history of discrimination and abuse of blacks in the U.S. military, extending even into the early part of Powell's career in the army. Powell worked his way up though the system to become a general, but it was his performance and prominence during the Desert Storm situation that catapulted him to national prominence as the news media centered on this leader, the highest-ranking African-American in the history of the country. Powell's story is a truly American version of success. He was born of immigrant parents form Jamaica and grew up in moderately poor circumstances. His education was in average public schools. He succeeded through his own hard work, though,

Paper Abstract:
Life & career of 19th-20th Cent. Italian composer, focusing on plot & themes of opera "Tosca."
Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
The opera Tosca was based on a play written in 1887, La Tosca by Victorien Sardou, a play in five acts with more subplots than the opera. Arguably, the opera is an improvement over the complex play (Plotkin 207-208). However, the opera aroused more opposition than any of Puccini's works "by reason of its alleged coarseness and brutality" (Sadie, The New Grove Book of Operas 621), though at the same time, Tosca remains one of Giacomo Puccini's most popular operas. The libretto has a political plot, with the evil Scarpia on the side of the bourbons who were ruling Rome at the time, while the conspirators Angelotti and Mario support Napoleon, whom they hope will be successful and will free Rome from is oppressors. On one level, the opera is

Paper Abstract:
Career of Navy leader, innovations, controversies, accomplishments, retirement.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the career of Vice Admiral Hyman Rickover. The plan of the research will be to set forth in general terms the background and circumstances under which Rickover moved through the ranks of the U.S. Navy to a major command, and then to discuss in detail whether he should have been retained on active duty in 1982, when he was obliged to retire, or should have been retired some 30 years earlier.
There is a view that no public employee, whether civilian or military, and of whatever rank and reputation, should be allowed to persist in a government job that carries high authority. Indeed, the very fact that some few well known public employees have for various reasons found ways to achieve what appears to be a lifetime tenure has been enough to excite curiosity, if not some kind of adversarial investigation. Alter, for example

Paper Abstract:
Critiques author's secular autobiography from religious perspective of St. Augustine's [Confessions].
Paper Introduction:
This study will discuss the life of Jean-Jacques Rousseau as he examines it in his Confessions and in a way which St. Augustine would understand. The thrust of the study will be the religious component present in Augustine's own Confessions and absent from Rousseau. Augustine would likely have read Rousseau's work, identified with his very human failings and longings, and suggested that the French revolutionary turn to God and Jesus Christ for the solace and serenity he obviously has not found in politics, writing, philosophy, and other wholly earth-bound pursuits.
In the middle of his Confessions, Rousseau stops to assess the first thirty years of his life, and to briefly preview for the reader the next thirty years, drawing a stark comparison between the two periods:

Paper Abstract:
Life, career, policies, effectiveness, corruption & rise & fall of Ethiopian emperor.
Paper Introduction:
Emperor Haile Selassie's reign in Ethiopia has been described by the term Kleptocracy, indicating that the Emperor and his cronies plundered the country for their own benefit. Ethiopia was a poor country in any case, and it was poorer after Selassie had taken most of its wealth and left the peasants much worse off then they were when he arrived in office. Selassie was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. He came to power at a time when Ethiopia had to deal with the expansionist policies of Italy prior to World War II. The world powers, especially those in the League of Nations, were not inclined to counter Italy's attack on Ethiopia in 1935. In the early years of the world war, however, Ethiopia was retaken from the Italians by the British, who would continue to dominate Ethiopian affairs after the war ended in 1945. Selassie was restored to power at that time and tried
