Abstract
This paper reviews several different Internet sites that purport to be non-biased sources of information concerning the pros and cons of renting or buying a home. The paper points out that the advice offered on these sites is often from a source that stands to gain from whatever position that they advocate, thus making the advice biased rather than unbiased. The paper also points out that some of the sites contain advertisements that contradict the advice offered on the site; this minimizes the credibility of the advice.
From the Paper
"Deciding whether to buy a home or to rent one can be a very difficult subject. In everyday life, many people seem to have very strong prejudices about the subject. Especially among the younger generation, it seems that many people find renting to be very advantageous and preferable to buying. However, if one goes on-line to research this topic, it is very difficult to find reliable information which honestly weighs the pros and cons of renting and buying. Many pages claim to give an unbiased view of the situation, or even to favor renting over buying. For example, one page titled ?Mortgages: When not to buy a house? (http://www.bankrate.com/brm/ news/mtg/19990805.asp) definitely looks as at first glance as if it supports renting over buying. However, on closer inspection one finds that the article has strong ties to the real estate industry. Another site, She Knows Home and Garden, (http://sheknows.com/about/look/2156.htm) includes an article titled ?The benefits of buying a house?. At first glance this article seems to be presenting an unbiased informative look at all the reasons why buying is better and feasible for every life situation -- if one reads the fine print this article is actually a summary or reprint from a HUD (Housing and Urban Development) pamphlet supporting home purchase. While it may be possible to find unbiased information on this subject online (for example, one can find sites aimed at ?home economics? teachers which present relatively unbiased perspectives [Clow]), these are not presented in such a way that they are readily accessible to the common reader."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the author compares opening a business from scratch to buying an existing business and recommends buying an existing business. The paper is of the opinion that this article might scare some people away from starting their own business. The paper also maintains that it does not cover some of the disadvantages of buying a business. The paper concludes that it is a good article to consider, but much more research and expert opinion should be considered when contemplating any business purchase.
From the Paper
"Choosing a small business is one of the most important considerations for the entrepreneur. As the textbook notes, there are many advantages to buying an existing business, from fewer problems than a start-up business, to proven success in the field, and a short start-up time. The author also notes that small business and self-employment are becoming increasingly popular. She says, "Since many experts have predicted that a significant percentage of the workforce will be working in a self-employment capacity in the next decade, business ownership is becoming increasingly more important to many people" (Sawyer, 2007). Thus, choosing, financing, and operating a small business can be one of the most important actions a modern entrepreneur can make."

E. E. Cummings' "Advice", 2007.
An analysis of the persuasive technique of E. E. Cummings' "A Poet's Advice to Students".
2,410 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 6 sources, MLA, £ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how E. E. Cummings, in his essay "A Poet's Advice to Students", advises that the best way to write poetry is to be a poet, and how his most persuasive explanation of what it is to be a poet is his explanation itself. The paper looks at how the perpetual enactment of Cummings' own demonstration of 'pistis' utilizes complex rhetorical strategies, which are artfully veiled by simple words and appealing rhythm to make his 'feeling' accessible to the reader. The paper asserts that, while Cummings' words are characteristically his own, their seeming simplicity echoes Aristotle's observation that the most persuasive art is the appearance of artlessness.
From the Paper
"The title functions to both introduce the ethos, or character, of the speaker and establish the kairos, or occasion, of the text's reception. Ethos refers specifically to the character of the speaker as presented in the text, intended to establish the trustworthiness of the argument's presenter. Here, the title positions the speaker as a 'poet', who is therefore qualified to offer the instruction to follow. By prefacing the text as the 'advice' of an established poet to 'students', the title also serves to construct its own kairos by positioning the reader as one who may be educated by that which is explained. Thus, the title itself performs the rhetorical function of establishing the speaker's trustworthiness while simultaneously engendering receptiveness in the reader. "

Buying Music over the Internet, 2001.
This paper examines the issue of buying music over the Internet for both the consumer and musician.

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of buying music over the Internet and the problems with it. It discusses the anti-trust issues that have arisen and how to deal with them. It also examines the issue of who really ?owns? the commercial product which is music, whom does this belong to? How can musicians and record labels receive benefits from their works if the music is bought over the Internet from an e-commerce site. It discusses music downloads over the Internet and its problematic issues as well.
From the Paper
"One of the most controversial issues in the music business today is the issue of selling music through the Internet. The ongoing and evolving process of selling and disseminating music through the Internet has provoked a number of economic as well as artistic debates for the music business and for the computer and technology businesses that allow such technology to be accessed. This paper will address some of these concerns with a particular focus on the anti-trust issues that have arisen over the course of this debate. First of all, the issue of disseminating music over the Internet provokes the perplexing question of who really ?owns? the commercial product of a pieces of music, anyway? Is the owner the person or persons who simply hear the tune and keep humming it? Is the owner the musician who produces the product? Or are the owners the music companies musicians have signed artistic rights to? Clearly, to survive musicians must be able to charge for the product they produce, and the companies have control over the specifics of how to market that product. But once a song is in the public sphere, do not consumers have a right to ?pass on? that music product in ways that they see fit, even if those ways may inhibit the sales of recordings of that music?"

Abstract
This paper argues that Shakespeare wrote "Measure for Measure" as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom.
From the Paper
"Shakespeare?s England at the time that Measure for Measure was written was in a state of internal conflict and discord. King James I came to power in 1603 and inherited a kingdom rife with a myriad of social and cultural problems, including corruption in the justice system, religious disputes and crises, and rampant sexual immorality. Shakespeare, the ?King?s Playwright,? as Alvin Kernan dubs him, wrote Measure for Measure as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James, as a ruler with Divine Right and responsibility to his country, with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom."

?The Buying of the President 2004?, 2004.
A review of the book, "The Buying of the President 2004: Who's Really Bankrolling Bush and His Democratic Challengers and What They Expect in Return", by Charles Lewis.

Abstract
This paper examines how, in his book, "The Buying of the President 2004: Who's Really Bankrolling Bush and His Democratic Challengers and What They Expect in Return", Charles Lewis investigates the influence of financial interests in the United States political system. It looks at how he carefully argues that financial interests are now the most powerful influence in American politics, replacing the voting public, and how Lewis's careful and painstaking research lends credibility to his argument that political action committees (PACs) play a crucial role in influencing the politics of Republicans and Democrats alike.
From the Paper
"Lewis wrote the book in order to provide the American public with an understanding of how the political system and financial interests are intertwined in today's political landscape. A former journalist, Lewis purports to be non-partisan, and indeed his book contains scathing indictments of both Republican and Democratic political players. Within The Buying of the President 2004, Lewis investigates such major players as John Kerry and incumbent President George Bush, giving both personal histories of the candidates and an overview of their campaign finances. Further, Lewis is unflinching in revealing the extent to which big business has financed President George W. Bush and the Republicans, and notes perhaps surprisingly that News Corp (owners of Fox News Channel) is one of the Democrat's top 50 donors in the last 25 years."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"When one makes the decision to purchase a business, one makes the decision to purchase the seller's past, both the good and the bad. It is important to understand this concept as the new owner will be taking over formerly agreed to contracts, problems and complaints as well as positive revenue and a customer base. There are many things to be considered before one purchases a small business."
"The good news is that currently 99 percent of America's businesses are small businesses with fewer than 500 employees (Student Network Resources)."

Leasing vs Buying, 2002.
A look at the pros and cons of leasing vs. buying.
1,900 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 7 sources, £ 49.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This study will take a look at this question from the perspective of the lessor and the lessee. In the final analysis, it will be argued that the decision to lease or purchase is largely dependent on the circumstances of the lessee. As such, there are lessons to be learned from the role of leasing in organizational finance. From the experience of firms, it can be concluded that smaller firms lease so that they can finance their growth, or simply allow them to remain solvent. For larger companies, however, leasing is generally a calculated decision used by sophisticated financial managers to minimize their after-tax cost of capital. Applied to automobile financing, some people will lease because they have no other choice; i.e., they cannot afford to purchase.

From the Paper
"In the last 100 years, experts from fields such as pediatric medicine, psychology and child development have offered a plethora of advice to new parents. Beginning with the medically-based advice of Dr. L. Emmett Holt (1894) and the psychological counsel of Dr. John Watson (1925), we can see the seeds of more modern (and still relied-upon) works, such as those of Dr. Benjamin Spock (1945) and Dr. Penelope Leach (1979). Examined comparatively, these books provide a fascinating window into the ideas about children and childhood that characterized their respective eras. As such, this paper focuses on the similarities among and differences between the seminal works of these four experts, with specific attention to the ways they have influenced our understandings of the very experience of childhood.
