Sociology Theory and the Future One of the ideas of Marxism was that of 'alienation' - the idea that humans as a species were alienated from their human nature in the face of technological and industrial advancements; in short, as a side effect of capitalism (Marx, Tucker, & Engel). Socialists unhappily herald capitalism as the advent of bureaucracy, that human beings are surrounded by bureaucracy at every turn; we create it, revel in it, are lost without it and fear its decline. Marx proposed that this onslaught of progress prompted humans to alienate themselves - not merely from each other, but from their own humanness. If we examine that claim in the light of big business versus humanity, there are some links to be made. One might speculate that the rise of corpora	2071
Leadership Styles and Strategies Have Changed Introduction Through time, leadership styles and strategies have changed. Even its definition has changed. At some point in the past, leadership is the ability of an individual to exercise his power over a group of people. Leaders played a greater part in the decision-making in the ancient times. However, the individuals that make up the group went through changes; thus, the society has changed. Leaders remain as leaders but they are not alone the responsible being in making choices for the group. They still are leaders, yet the role of each member of the group is recognized and considered vital in the process of decision-making. Believing that each member of the group is imperative in attaining the goals set by the group, leaders	1538
The Industrial Age and Water Pollution Since the beginnings of the Industrial Age in the mid 19th century, the earth has experienced a very rapid increase in the amount of pollutants in the air and the water, due to emissions from automobiles, factories, chemical plants and other manufacturing methods which use fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, to create power. But within the last thirty years or so, the amount of pollution in our air and water has reached what some consider as a tipping point, meaning that pollution is slowly yet surely poisoning not only our air and water but also living environments all over the planet. Many proposals have been put forward concerning ways to decrease pollution and to help slow down global warming, yet the causes and effects of air and	1206

My Interest in the Field I am a person who has a passion in taking care of plants and nature. Hence, I am always interested in the study of biology. When I was in high school, biology was among my favorite classes. I even excel in this class because I have really been very interested in studying information about plants. From my interest in plants and animals grew a similar interest in the study of humans and all the subjects that concern our physical and bodily nature. I realized then that perhaps, my interest will always focus on the study of science and living things. Such interest involved me to a number of volunteer works and participation to the field of medicine. I had worked as a volunteer in a dental and medical center in Irvine. My job then was	829
The Moral and Intellectual Disintegration of Modern Society in "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller Modern society, particularly American society, in the mid-20th century faced challenges that contested the principles of freedom and free will of human society, staunchly advocated for by the United States. In this period, the world have witnessed a "contest" between two dominant 'markets of ideas': democracy and communism. Resulting to the Cold War, this conflict between Communist and Democratic ideals became the road towards social disintegration rather than progress for most Americans. This is the reality projected in the novel "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller. The novel is a political satire on the American government's actions and responses to the threat that Communism presented to democratic societies and cultures. It is important to	2465

A Brief Introduction to Verizon's History "We never stop working for you" is the slogan displayed by one of America's largest broadband and telecommunications provider that continues to amaze not only Americans, but the entire world due to its innovations and sustained efforts aimed at transforming communication into a "piece of cake" that anyone can chew. Based in New York and incorporated in Delaware, the company made its entrance on the telecommunications market on June 3, 2000, as a result of a merger between two U.S. based corporations - Bell Atlantic and GTE. But as any valuable child that is brought into the economic world belongs to parents having at least the same potential, it should be said that the mergerers mentioned above had been prominent figures of the American bus	3523
Introduce, Discuss, and Analyze the book "The Fall of Berlin 1945" by Antony Beevor The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the book "The Fall of Berlin 1945" by Antony Beevor. Specifically, it will summarize and review the book, ending with a critical analysis of the book. Beevor's book is a detailed and disturbing look at the last days of World War II in Berlin. As it fell to allied forces, the violence and destruction were nearly absolute. Beevor's account looks at all aspects of the fall of Berlin, and thus the fall of Nazi Germany. As he notes in the Preface to the book, "[F]ew things reveal more about political leaders and their systems than the manner of their downfall" (Beevor xxxiii). That is his reason for writing this book, and the reason most people read it. It is a fascinating gl	1683
Twelve Angry Men Directed by Sidney Lamet: Analyze the Evidence and Argue For or Against Reasonable Doubt As It Is Portrayed In The Film The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the film Twelve Angry Men directed by Sidney Lamet. Specifically, it will analyze the evidence and argue for or against reasonable doubt as it is portrayed in the film. The premise of this classic film is the validity of the American jury system. Does it work, and is justice truly served in this film? In the end, I believe justice is not served, and the jury makes the incorrect decision, but for the right reasons. There were too many holes in the testimony and too many questions left unanswered by the trial, and the jury did have reasonable doubt that the boy killed his father. That, however, does not mean the boy is innocent. So many things point to his committing the crime, it is hard to believe he did not. However, the jury must look at "reasonable doubt," and they do. They realize that the evidence is so unclear, and there are so many questions left unanswered; there is not total proof the boy did it. They follow the rules, but in the end, they may have made the wrong choice for the right reasons, and that points to the fundamental flaws in the American criminal justice system.	1902
Organized Crime: It's History and How It Has Come A Long Way Introduction Organized crime is defined as the "systematically unlawful activity for profit on a city-wide, interstate, and even international scale". It is believed that criminal organizations are trying to maintain their illegal activities as a secret. Gangs, youth groups that are usually connected with juvenile activities are sometimes considered as forms of organized crimes (http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1596.html, 2005). Meanwhile, a criminal organization is dependent on the support from the society in which it exists. That is why it is but practical and convenient to compromise some of society's members - especially people in the judiciary, police forces, and legislature - through bribery, blackmail, and the cultivation of mut	3653
Cyclical Unemployment Cyclical unemployment is based on the assumption that demand for products, and the labor that produces them, fluctuates over time. When the business cycle is at its peak, there is low cyclical unemployment. When the cycle is in recession, unemployment is relatively high. There is plenty of evidence that the pressure of demand rises and falls from year to year and that unemployment moves in sympathy with that cycle. For example, unemployment fell sharply following the boom in the late-1980s,	401
The Poem "Mopsus, or The Castle Builder" Today, when a person says that someone builds castles in the air, they are usually metaphorically describing someone who dwells in a realm of fantasy, and has a poor grip upon reality. The poem "Mopsus, or The Castle Builder" literalizes the metaphor of castle-building in the air in its tale of a central character with a poor grip upon reality, as well as deals with this phenomenon on a metaphorical level. Mopsus wishes to live in a fantasy castle of his own making, even though he is of humble birth. He is thrown out of the real castles he believes will be his destiny to live in, but always has the security of the castles of his mind, that he dwells of, as a lord, a castle of dreams and darkness. Throughout the poem, Mopsus' gullibility	1695
A Look Into Benefits and Harms of State Sponsored Lotteries The concept of lotteries conjures up many different images at once, and most of it unpleasant. By association, state lotteries often are compared with seedy criminals, gambling addiction, and destitution for the poor who depend on it the most. Despite, the negative imagery surrounding state lotteries it has been a widely popular and extremely profitable option for many states to raise funds for purportedly "worthwhile causes". In North Carolina for instance, the state lottery generates in the neighborhood of one billion dollars a year, a figure that figures to increase the overall state budget by thirty to forty percent. When assessing the costs and benefits of state lotteries, one has to first paint an accurate picture of what exactly	3494
Discuss Common Areas of Fraud Found Within the Automotive Industry, Examining Both the New and Used Car Sectors In 2003, automotive experts estimate over 380,000 new vehicles (Thompson, 4) and nearly 356,000 used vehicles ("Used Car Market Report", 65) were sold in the United States, not including those used vehicles sold outside of a dealership setting. With new vehicles averaging $22,000 and used vehicles averaging $8,130, the combined economic impact for car sales in 2003 was over $11 billion (BTS, Table 1). Clearly, the automotive industry is a primary source of economic stability for the United States. However, due to the unique aspects of the automotive industry, there are also numerous circumstances in which fraud can easily be committed. Car manufacturers determine, if defects are found, whether such defects are worth recalling vehicles i	1713

Diversity in the American Lifestyle of Immigrants: Language Issues One cannot separate the American lifestyle from the droves of immigrants that helped shape it. Diversity is a part of the fabric of America that makes it unique. As a result of this increasingly diverse culture many children grow up in bilingual households.

Corporate Greed and Irresponsibility in America 1. What should be done to curb corporate greed and irresponsibility in the upper echelons of corporate America? Corporate abuse and irresponsibility can often lead to harm to individuals, communities, the environment, national and international relations, and other aspects of the world. The causes of these issues are difficult to determine, but can fall under two categories, those of the intentional abuse and irresponsibility of corporations, and the unintentional misuse of power1. Since these behaviors can include anything from the commissioning of an act by a third party, the omission of specific information to the public, or an action by a member of a corporation or the corporation as a whole, these behaviors can be difficult to cur	3503
Passive Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide Passive euthanasia and physician assisted suicide have become hot topics of late and many people think it is about physicians becoming killers and 'putting patients to sleep' much like is done with animals. This is not true, however, despite the opinions that many hold. The main problem is that many feel that passive euthanasia and physician assisted suicide will give doctors too much control over the deaths of their terminally ill patients. This is not the case, however, as passive euthanasia and physician assisted suicide will actually give the terminally ill patients more control over their death, and therefore by extension, more control over their life. Not all physicians would be able to do this in good conscience but there are som	2143
Jean Paul Sartre was a French Philosopher: Existentialism Jean Paul Sartre was a French philosopher who helped construct a philosophy of existence called existentialism. Existentialism states that individual freedom is subjective and that man cannot go beyond human subjectivity (Kaufman 1989).But when man chooses, he also chooses for others, that is, universally. There is an "ought" in every free action, whereby one's choice for himself applies to every other man in the universe. This "ought" establishes that what is better for one should be better for all: every act is a commitment on behalf of mankind. He perceives man as unable to escape from that sense of complete and profound responsibility for himself and the world-at-large. A sense of abandonment in existentialism develops from the necessit	1749
Arthur Miller's play, "Death of a Salesman: The Story of Family Dynamics and Unattained Dreams Arthur Miller's play, "Death of a Salesman," remains as pertinent today as its debut in 1949, perhaps even more so. It is the story of family dynamics and unattained dreams. Willy Loman has spent his entire career in sales. Now, at a time when he should be enjoying retirement, he is in reality a broken man, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Willy believed careers were built on personality, that if people liked him, he would be successful. However, over time, charm was not enough to close the deals. Now his life, the life he thought he had, has slipped away. Miller's play opens with Willy returning home from yet another unsuccessful business trip. His oldest son, Biff, is there, and Willy begins verbally attacking him for	1376
Are CEO's Paid Too Much? CEO pay, even among companies whose market share and sales have slipped, is grossly unfair. "How bad are things? Here's one wise man's assessment: "About half of American industry has grossly unfair compensation systems where the top executives are paid too much," says Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's partner at Berkshire Hathaway" (Kirkland 2006 78). The problem, as many critics see it, is the tremendous gulf between what CEOs earn and what the average worker takes home. "At 200 of America's largest companies, CEOs made an average of $11.5 million last year. A worker earning just under $40,000 annually would need 300 years to make that much... Overall, average CEO pay is now more than 100 times what the average worker makes. In 1980, it wa	693
