Abstract
This paper takes the point of view of a European visitor to the United States during the mid-1800s. It describes and reviews American religion and examines the viewpoints of many Europeans from that time period.
From the Paper
"The European tourist of the 1830s was usually a member of either the professional or the aristocratic classes of his/her country. He/she would have felt a class inspired animus against the type of religious practices that was attended by members of the lower classes and which was characterized by "the spirit of enthusiasm." It is to be remembered that Methodism itself would have been suspect to persons of this class because of its association with working people's organizations in England (see Thompson 42-4)."

Abstract
This paper argues that the emergence of early world religions in the East have influenced the preservation of traditional societies among the nations and the region, while the development and predominance of Christianity in the West led to society's development to being industrialized and modernized.
From the Paper
"With the creation of sedentary societies after the prehistoric period, human society had also cultivated specific economic, political and cultural structures that define specific characteristics of a human society. Economic structures include the creation of an agricultural economy, where plant cultivation and animal farming created a living for people. With an agricultural economy, political organization was also created, wherein class divisions emerge from division of labor and ownership of means of production. Culturally, human societies have created rituals, traditions, and beliefs which they developed and passed on throughout history to continue the heritage that are distinctly theirs. Religious philosophy is one such example of a product of culture: as a human experience, religion serves as humanity?s ?connection? with their reality and an acknowledgment of the metaphysical."

Abstract
This paper explains that the "melting pot" version of the early American culture overlooks the real economic and social hardships and the immense pressures of ethnic groups to "conform" to the dominant American culture. The author points out that one of the earliest and cruelest stories of assimilation in the United States centers on the African people and their descendants who were brought to the country as slaves. The Scottish-Irish immigrant group, who spoke English and did not come as slaves, faced the challenge of religious discrimination, and the Chinese found it extremely difficult to assimilate into the mainstream culture due to their language and ethnic differences. The paper relates that the most striking example of assimilation in the early 1800s was the push to integrate Native Americans into Anglo culture; Native American children, in many cases, were taken forcibly from their homes and moved to special "schools", in which they were taught the "correct" way to speak, dress, eat, and behave, according to the dominant American culture.
From the Paper
"To a great extent, the story of nineteenth century America is a story of the "others." This is because, whereas the influx of immigrants from Europe, Asia and Africa was immense in scope, the collective imagination of those Americans who viewed themselves as "real Americans" sought to bring those "others" into line with established mainstream American culture without option. Indeed, this assumption that all immigrants as well as Native Americans and African Americans must assimilate into the dominant culture was simply a given."

Abstract
This paper explains that the primary difference between the early Russian films of the first half of the 20th century and the German Expressionist movement, whose films exemplify an artistic ethos, is the significance given to narrative and to expressing a singular and coherent ideology for the viewer. The author points out that, in the case of Russian filmmakers such as Eisenstein, the narrative and descriptive sequences of the film are manipulated over the course of the film to invest particular images and aspects of the film with great importance. The paper relates that the German cinema creates a more ambiguous sense of meaning within its choice frames; the visual, rather than the story-based aspects of the film?s shot and the film?s overall plot arc, have greater significance.
From the Paper
"The greater emphasis on narrative within early Russian cinema also is evidenced in the way that the Russian directors, most notably Eisenstein, create meaning between frames of narrative, rather than within frame in a miens-en-scene approach. In this approach, the meaning of a single scene has a meaning in and of itself and can be invested with different meanings outside of the filmed narrative sequence. For instance, ?Potemkin? makes use of what is known as a dialectic montage, or a composition of rapidly evolving scenes, too rapid for the viewer?s eye simply to apprehend just one. The composition and the apprehension of scenes all at once creates a singularity of emotion and intent regarding the action, as opposed to a sustained scene where the viewer is able to consider the image and come to his or her own conclusion regarding the events that are transpiring. Miens-en-scene or middle of the scene approach became very popular in postmodernist and post-structuralism critiques and film analysis. Even the most impressionist examples of Russian cinema, such as the ?Man with a Movie Camera,? have a highly ideological and uniform tone, that of the glory of Russia, in sequences where seemingly unrelated images are created."

Abstract
Although fundamentalists in religious life assert that the answers to all human problems are available in inerrant scriptural form, there is still the problem of interpretation. From the beginning, differing stories, differing translations, and differing interpretations of scripture have led to the development of separate communities and sects within communities.

"Research on Qumran, Early Christians, and Early Rabbinic Judaism
Introduction
Although fundamentalists in religious life assert that the answers to all human problems are available in inerrant scriptural form, there is still the problem of interpretation. From the beginning, differing stories, differing translations, and differing interpretations of scripture have led to the development of separate communities and sects within communities. The intent in this essay is to look at three separate groups the Qumran community, the Early Christians and Early Rabbinic Judaism exploring their major beliefs and their use of canonical scripture."

Abstract
This paper looks at the dominance of religion in the lives of early northern colonists of what would later become the United States of America. It focuses primarily on the migration of Puritans from England and the transfer of their cultural idiosyncrasies. It then charts the progression of religion from Puritanism to other forms of Christianity within this area.
From the Paper
"The Puritan exodus was typified by middle-class nuclear families, able to pay their own way and 'on a divine mission to create a model society committed to the proper worship of God. ' Many left England to escape the political unease and the imminent civil war and also religious persecution from the Anglican Church towards Puritans. Indeed 'religion was mentioned not merely as their leading purpose but as their only purpose' for leaving England and settling in New England. Those arriving on the shores of the 'Bible Commonwealth' of Massachusetts Bay from the 1630s had been refined from English society and were 'honest men...godly men...and not of the poorer sort.'"

Plague in Medieval and Early Modern Europe, 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses Michel Foucault's contention of the plague as a historical phenomenon, out of which a controlling, intrusive and discursively powerful form of modern rule emerged in Europe. The paper relates that, from a retrospective look at the responses to the plague in mediaeval and early modern Europe, it is tempting to conclude that the responses represented clear early examples of disciplinary power in action. Moreover, plague regimes appear to have been interventionist, controlling and totalizing. The paper then explains that this view leads to a distorted understanding of power as all-encompassing when, in reality, it was anything but. The paper concludes that it would be historically inaccurate to leave the impression that these plague regimes were omnipotent, for the simple reason that the enforcement of power was a messy, contested and negotiated process. There is also a limit to seeking examples of disciplinary power in a past period that Foucault himself did not necessarily see as completely emblematic of his theory.
Outline:
Introduction
Power as Interventionist and Controlling
Power as Limited and Hyped
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Certainly England did eventually move towards a continental style of control. But this move, instigated under the rule of Charles I, was quickly abandoned following the outbreak of the Civil War. (Naphy and Spicer, 2000, p.100) Even if this plan had been carried out by the Crown, which had by and large succeeded in setting up pest houses throughout the rest of the kingdom, London would surely have resisted, for it rejected a system of pest houses in favour of continuous home quarantine, which obviated the need for "an extensive and expensive system of workers". (Naphy and Spicer, 2000, p.126) More significantly, London insisted on relying upon local and national charities as well as normal taxation to fund measures to cope with the plague rather than resort to a special plague tax that would have made the victims of disease wholly dependent on the benevolence of the state - to this extent inhabitants were not subject to the totalizing power of the state. (Naphy and Spicer, 2000, p.126) "

Abstract
In human development, the early adulthood stage is the sixth stage of the period of development of humans. This paper looks at a few theorists and their concepts of the type of development that occurs in this stage of life. The writer concludes that in this stage, an individual learns to recognize alternative moral courses and learns to develop a personal moral code.
From the Paper
"Under the early adulthood stage, cognitive development of early adults has already reached its formal operational stage, according to Jean Piaget?s Theory of Cognitive Development. Under the formal operational stage, the operational thoughts of humans are more ?abstract, idealistic, and logical,? and adults are no longer confined to concrete thoughts, which are the operational thoughts common among children (Santrock 2000 335). Aside from thinking abstractly, early adulthood stage brings about among humans the ability to solve problems and test solutions, which are the characteristics of hypothetical-deductive reasoning. Piaget formally defines hypothetical-deductive reasoning as ?the ability to develop hypotheses, or best hunches, about ways to solve problems? (Santrock 2000 335). Piaget notes that the operational thoughts of adults in this stage is no different from adolescents? operational thoughts, but adults in the early adulthood stage have more methods and ways in approaching and solving the problems presented to them or they encounter."

Abstract
This paper explains that the return to Greek drama within the musical trends of the end of the 16th century and into the early part of 17th century resulted in a multifaceted musical and theatrical combination, which is now called opera. The author analyzes composers, such as Caccini, Peri and Monteverdi, to reveal how this musical idiom developed from the medieval music tradition and Greek Classical revival of the Baroque period. The paper relates that, in the late 16th century, various forms of music were beginning to combine theatrical productions, arias and extended recitative verses, which would invariably be termed opera.
From the Paper
"This music study will present the early progenitors opera that began at the end of the 16th century and into the early part of 17th century. By understanding the return to Greek drama within musical trends of these time periods, a multifaceted musical and theatrical combination resulted in what is now called Opera. By analyzing composers such as Caccini, Peri and Monteverdi, one can realize how this musical idiom developed from the medieval music tradition and Greek Classical revival of the Baroque period. In the late 16th century various forms of music were beginning to blend theatrical productions and arias, as well as extended recitative verses that would invariably be termed opera through these initial combinations."
