The Double: Mirrors the Social and Moral Attitudes of Its Author
While not to the extent of the paranoid, delusional schizophrenia that
Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin suffers, in many ways, the novel "The Double"
(Dostoyevsky, 1997) mirrors the social and moral attitudes of its author,
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky. Some of these attitudes come from
Dostoyevsky's life experiences. These views he transmitted through his
work. This essay will show that the author's protagonist Golyadkin is a
metaphorical struggle for Dostoyevsky's soul and also the dichotomy that
was Russia. It is a struggle to find an identity. And even the creation
of a multiple personalities still leaves us looking.
Without delving into a summary of the novel, consider only Golyadk
| 2745 | Olive Growing in Morocco
Morocco is currently the world's sixth olive oil producer, with
550,000 hectares planted to olive trees, Moroccan agriculture minister
Habib El Malki said (Morocco, Agriculture 1999). From these trees, Morocco
produced 480,000 tons of olives, making the country the second largest
exporter of olives. The minister also said that more oil-producing fruits
would be planted in an additional 500,000 hectares in the next decade to
increase their current production, which was only a third of the Morocco's
potential, he added (Morocco, Agriculture). When this happens, the country
could turn out more than 80,000 tons or a 78% increase (Karam 2003), given
abundant rain currently present. Morocco used t
| 1515 | The Process of Critical Thinking: Assembling and Organizing of Data and Thoughts
The process of critical thinking involves "...following evidence where
it leads; considering all possibilities; relying on reason rather than
emotion; being precise...; weighing the effects of motives and biases; being
concerned more with finding the truth than with being right...." (Fowler,
cited Kurland, para 10) Thus, it is evident that the process of critical
thinking requires the assembling and organizing of data and thoughts in
order to enable logical thinking. In addition, the organizing and ordering
of data and thought facilitates inquiry, a process that is critical to the
generation of new ideas.
The importance of the role played by "organizing" in critical thinking
is evidenced by the very fact that human k
| 763 | Education and Ethics
Two years ago there was a student in my school I will call "Aaron." Aaron
was a serious behavioral problem. He would repeat offensive phrases over
and over, for instance repeatedly saying "Miss Murray farted! Miss Murray
farted!" He would look around to see if the other students were paying
attention to him, and then do it again. He struggled with academics
unpredictably and resisted any work that involved writing. Sometimes his
misbehavior seemed deliberate, such as in the case of repeating phrases
that seemed designed to disrupt the class. At other times, however, he
seemed to be in genuine distress. Unfortunately when he was stressed, he
would run from the classroom.
Aaron was thoroughly evaluated, including an extensi
| 1005 | King Leopold's Ghost Analysis
According to one account, Adam Hochschild's descriptions of the
colonization of Congo in Central Africa during the 19th century by King
Leopold II of Belgium resulted in his being admired throughout Europe as
being a "philanthropic" monarch. This attitude was largely based on the
descriptions of the people provided by European merchants returning from
the Congo 400 years after its "discovery" by Portuguese explorers seeking a
new route to India. These descriptions suggested that the Congolese were
"heathen who bowed down to wood and stone" and were in dire need of the
evangelical intervention on the part of the enlightened Europeans - most
especially the King of Belgium (Wellard 1970:501). After reading the novel

| 2164 | Life of Pi: This Story Takes Places Almost Entirely on the Lifeboat
In Life of Pi, by Yann Martel, we are introduced to the young Indian
boy named Pi Patel. The novel follows Pi as he goes from India to Canada,
and the challenges he faces along the way. These challenges are more
extreme than most. As the son of a zookeeper in Pondicherry, India, Pi and
his family travel on a cargo ship along with the animals from his father's
zoo. "Animals were sedated, cages were loaded and secured...the ship was
worked out of the dock and piloted out to sea...I wildly waved goodbye to
India...I was terribly excited." (chapter 35). When the ship sinks, Pi is
forced onto a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra and a Bengal
tiger. Life of Pi tells the story of how the protagonist survives this

| 1283 | FDR: He Was Truly One of America's Greatest Presidents
Franklin D. Roosevelt was truly one of America's greatest presidents.
Regardless of nay hindsight or revisionist historical perspective
assaulting his choices he was an integral part of America's recovery from
two of the most devastating events of modern times, the Great Depression
and WWII. "FDR may be credited with holding the nation together during the
catastrophe of the Great Depression, patching together a welfare state
American-style, and bringing a reluctant citizenry to support the embattled
nations of Europe." [1] FDR was elected into challenging times and he
prematurely left office, due to an untimely death during challenging times.
The New Deal legislation that helped end the Great Depression was a huge

| 798 | Introduce, Discuss and Analyze The New Language of the Internet
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the
topic of the Internet and language. Specifically, it will explore and
discuss how the Internet has affected our language and our understanding of
language, along with the cultural changes that have influenced the Internet
use of language, and how the Internet has influenced our society. The
Internet has changed the way people communicate, and it has created a new
language of its own. Language is always evolving, and the Internet, and
the language it has created, is a constant reminder of how language
changes, and how it can never remain the same.
The Internet has changed the way we work, the way we play, and clearly
the way we communicate. Some experts might even say the Internet has
spawned its own dialect, with words such as "dot com," "blog," and "Web
site" non-existent before the advent of the Inte
| 1470 | e-business: Three e-business Models Comparing Similarities and Differences
Three different e-business models will be presented in this paper, using
specific corporations to illustrate several different aspects of each e-
business model. Leaders in each category were selected to illustrate the
various e-business models, with Intel as an example of a B2B company, Eddie
Bauer as a B2C company, and eBay as a C2C company. Each model will be
explained individually, and then the similarities and differences between
these three businesses and their respective business model will be
presented in the conclusion.
Intel's website is geared primarily to the B2B market, although a B2C
section is included under a personal computing category. The B2C section
is limited in scope, in relation to the remainder of the site's offerings,
but nonetheless serves to diversify the site's marketing beyond only B2B.
However, Intel's corporate overv

It was the year that encapsulated all the tumultuousness, the
violence, the anger and the idealism of the 1960s. So many important and
tragic events occurred in 1968 that it is rightly considered the most
pivotal year in recent American history.
Vietnam was on everyone's mind in 1968 and it was the bloodiest year
of the entire War[1]. The astonishing Tet offensive by the North Vietnamese

Life in the U.S. and throughout the world in the 1950s was in a state of
flux. It was anything but stable and quiet. Rather, it was a time of
change, rock and roll and international instability.
The United States was undergoing a new "look." Tract homes as those
constructed in Levittown, Long Island, introduced the world of suburbia,
and families started to make their way from urban to the once rural areas.
This move was furthered by the exp

This is a two page paper that compares how three Presidents dealt
with civil rights.
Introduction
Every President handles issues in his own way. It is interesting to
compare and contrast
the presidential leadership of Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson in the
field of civil rights.
An Issue of Civil Rights
When President Eisenhower and President Johnson were in office,
"their divergent
leadership styles enabled them to gather Congressional support t
| 374 | U S Involvement in Vietnam From Truman through Johnson
The United States first got involved in Vietnam when President Harry
Truman extended official international recognition of Vietnam, Laos, and
Cambodia on Feb. 7, 1950 (according to Professor Sandra Whittman, Oakton
Community College, Des Plaines Illinois). This recognition by Truman was by
way of taking sides with the south, as the north's communist-led aggression

| 304 | President Nixon's Foreign Policy Successes and Failures
Although President Richard Nixon is known more for the Watergate
scandal and as the only US President to have resigned from office, he was
responsible for introducing a number of bold and innovative foreign policy
initiatives during his presidency.
When Nixon took over the office of US President in 1969, the Vietnam
War was the main issue in the country. During his election campaign, Nixon
had p
| 333 | The Viet Nam War
The Viet Nam "War" was a long and disastrous event that went on for decades
upon decades with numerous European countries, as well as America and the
peoples of Viet Nam.
France, for example, colonized Viet Nam at the end of the 19th
century, but lost control during World War II and the German Invasion.
After once again trying to gain a foothold, France called an end to its
involvement with the Asian country in 1954. As a result, the Geneva Accords
stated that Vietnam was to become an independent nation divided into the
South and North.
| 446 | Abuse of Power by Presidents from John Kennedy to George Bush
Kennedy's number one incident of an abuse of power was probably the
"Bay of Pigs" secret invasion into Cuba in April, 1961. The attempt to
overthrow Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was a huge failure, and it was an
embarrassment to both Kennedy and to the United States in the eyes of the
world. Kennedy did not consult the U.S. Congress prior to launching the
provocative attack, and hence, many felt it was an abuse of his

First, the key to the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement was the
famous legal case, Brown Verses Board of Education. In 1954, a girl named
Linda Brown, who lived in Topeka, Kansas, was not permitted to attend a
local elementary school, and the reason given was that she was African-
American. Her family hired a lawyer, and she filed suit against the school
district. When, combined with

The first year tenure of Carter's presidency bought some changes in
the political arena with revision in the Administration of the Social
Security system that in turned increased both the wage base and rate of
taxation, in order to produce the revenue required to continue the program.
On the contrary, he also sent a complete energy program to Congress, to get
a prompt approval, which unfortunately became the subject of an ongoing
congressional argument. However, before his second year was completed his
important successes include a bill to deregulate natural gas. This was a
part of his original energy package and to
| 511 | Comparison of Eisenhower, Johnson and Kennedy
Dwight Eisenhower demonstrated the least amount of leadership when it
came to civil rights. He did appoint Earl Warren as Chief Justice and did
not support the decision and believed that changing the law could not
change the hearts of men. (Davidson 1146) He is probably remembered most
for his support of Orval Faubus in the Little Rock Central High crisis.
Eisenhower was forced to

Buddhism and Christianity are both religions that have a rich history
and millions of devout followers throughout the world. In some ways, the
two religions are similar, being based largely on the teachings of a single
man; the Buddha in the case of Buddhism, and Christ in the case of
Christianity. "How many people have provoked this question - not 'Who are
you''...but 'What are you''...Only two: Jesus and Buddha." (Smith, p82).
There are many differences however, in their interpretations of the world
and the afterlife, that make each religion unique.
Buddhism was founded upon the teachings of the Buddha, who was born
(most likely) in the 5th century BCE, to a noble family in northern India.

| 1489 | Information Technology and It's Importance
Introduction
Computers can be considered one of the most important of all modern
inventions. One can go so far as to say that without the Computer there
would not have been such dramatic technological advances over the years.
What is this computer and how is it so important to us' The computer has
found its way into almost every aspect of human life today. It is used in
the home, in the office, to gather information about outer space even! It
was in 1971 that the company Intel released the world's first
microprocessor. (Computers, from the past to the present: The Altair) This
was in reality an integrated circuit that was able to process small bits of
data at a time. This system was

Racism has existed in the United States for hundreds of years. While
the issues of racism came to a head in the civil rights era of this
country, the issue is still alive and well within many aspects of society.
Research shows that Americans are still very influenced by ethnic origin,
and that there are still enormous differences in the treatment of people in
this country based on race. The President's Initiative on Race, a research
organization, has also found that discrimination against groups based on
their race still exists today, and still limits the opportunities available
to them. This is seen in almost all areas, from the housing market, to
employment and banking institutions (Diversity Digest, par. 1). While

| 3312 | Conservation of Rainforests
Introduction
The plight of the rainforests has not been "front page news" for
several years now, due possibly to the media's incessant passion to cover
events in the war against Iraq and terrorism. But the fact that
rainforests are not headlines, as they were a few years ago, does not mean
the problems facing these vital forests have gone away, or have been
solved. Indeed, the rainforests are in dire straights, and must be
protected, as the Dalai Lama states in the "Foreword" to Arnold Newman's
book, Tropical Rainforest: "Resolving the present environmental crisis is
not just a question of ethics but a question of our own survival. If we
exploit it in extreme ways...in the long run we ourselves and future
generations will

| 1283 | Life of Pi: Sixteen Year Old Boy Stranded at Sea
Yann Martel wrote Life of Pi in 2001, after a previous novel failed
to find much of an audience, or critical acclaim. Life of Pi is the story
of Pi Patel, a sixteen-year-old Indian boy who is stranded for months at
sea on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. Although the plot may seem
unlikely, Martel intends the outlandish story to demonstrate how resilient
a human being can be when faced with overwhelmingly dire situations.
Life of Pi begins by introducing our main character and his life in
India. Pi le
