Abstract
In China the document that started the Cultural Revolution is known as the ?Sixteen Articles.? It began the development of the new stage in the proletarian revolution, listed the reasons for Cultural Revolution, the targets of the revolution, and set up the guidance for carrying out the revolution. According to Mao, the bourgeoisie was still ?trying to use the old ideas, culture, customs, and habits of the exploiting classes to corrupt the masses, capture their mind, and endeavor to stage a comeback?. Thus, the main goal was to struggle against (1) people who are ?taking the capitalist road,? (2) to criticize ?bourgeois academic authorities? and (3) to transform education, literature, and art that are not in correspondence with the socialist society. Mao?s plan was taken seriously by many young students, who became vigorous supporters of the new plan. This paper explores the various experiences of Chinese youth during those years.
From the Paper
"From August 1 to August 12, 1966, the Eleventh Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party was taken place in Peking. Mao Tse-tung was presiding. The meeting, which lasted for twelve long days, was ignored by some of the regular Central Committee members but was full of revolutionary leaders, students and teachers. In fact the plenum was attended only by 80 out of 120 Central Committee members. The decision of the Cultural Revolution involved a prolonged debate. Mao and his reforms faced heated opposition (Lee 65). Nonetheless, on August 8, the Plenary Session adopted, with barely enough votes, the ?Decision of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party Concerning the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution,[1]? and in August 12 issued the ?Communiqu? of the Eleventh Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China? (Fan 161)."

Mao and the Long March, 2008.
An argument that the Long March (1934-36) was not a classic example of turning military defeat into moral and political victory.

Abstract
The paper discusses how many attribute Mao Zedong's successes to the fact that he was a brilliant tactician who could turn defeat to failure, citing the Long March as a classic example. The paper argues, however, that Mao was indeed relentless, ruthless, and self-confident, but he was no miracle-worker. The paper reveals that on the contrary, when it came to the Long March, Mao was simply the right man in the right place at the right time, a classic example of how good luck can catapult a person to the centre of the historical stage.
From the Paper
"Few figures in history inspire quite such extreme reactions as Mao Zedong. Some people revere him, while others revile him as a mass murderer. Whatever your point of view, there can be no doubt that Mao was one of the most influential people of the 20th century. He was revered by millions of Chinese as a supreme hero, and sometimes referred to as "the red sun rising in the east." Without him, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Peoples' Republic of China would not have been the same, and the latter might not have existed at all. As has been said of him, although his origins were commonplace, his education episodic at best, and his talents arguably unexceptional, nevertheless "he possessed a relentless energy and a ruthless self-confidence that led him to become one of the world's most powerful rulers"."

Jack Welch: G.E.'s Past Chairman, 2007.
This paper argues that the leadership style of G.E.'s famous past Chairman, Jack Welch, is now considered to be outmoded.

Abstract
This paper explains that former G.E Chairman, Jack Welch, was, at one time, exactly the right person to lead G.E. because he was not afraid to take calculated risks and try new ideas. Today, however, new strategies are needed to take on globalization, the move away from manufacturing to a knowledge and service-based economy and the quantum technological shift to the Internet. The author compares several of Welch's old rules with the new rules for doing business in the 21st century. The paper stresses that the extreme measures used by Jack Welch were needed during the transitional period during which business changed from national to international and from capitalist to functionalist. The paper also highlights the work of management guru Peter Drucker to support this argument.
From the Paper
"It was apparent over the past few years that the customer has been forgotten in many places, but the statistic mentioned by "Fortune" that businesses lose half their customers annually is more than expected and more than any business should tolerate. Fifty years ago, one unhappy customer would tell several others, but now they can tell several thousand with a BLOG. Mass communication has changed the entire dynamic of customer service. The Internet and email have made it much easier to communicate with customers and take care of them ... In the end, it is the customer which keeps the business alive, not the stockholders. "

Mao vs. the Mahatma: Violence vs. Non-Violence, 2002.
A study of the issues of violence vs. non-violence in the cases of Mao Tse Dung and Mohandas K. Gandhi.

Abstract
The paper weighs the issues of violence vs. non-violence and shows the lives and histories of Mao Tse Dung of China and Gandhi of India as examples. The paper discusses these two leaders who dealt extensively in their lifetimes with the struggle between violence and non-violence. It shows that on the surface, Chairman Mao espoused violence and used it as a tool to defeat an army of four million, gain power over a country with a trillion dollar economy and hold power for 25 years, and that Gandhi rose to ?power? while leading a peaceful revolution among the 600 million Indian citizens -- Hindus and Muslims alike -- that resulted in tens of thousands of Indian deaths, very few British deaths, but eventually in Indian independence and creation of the largest democracy in the world.
From the Paper
"But indeed, Gandhi knew there was a place for violence as well. In a much forgotten move, Gandhi essentially postponed India?s peaceful revolution at the onset of World War II. He recognized Nazi Germany as a much more malevolent force than the British Empire, in all their imperial misery, could ever be. As a result, he led the movement for Indians not only to stop resisting the British during World War II, but to actually comply with their orders. In fact, India entered the war itself and was particularly helpful to Britain in the North African campaigns."

The Leadership of Mao Zedong, 2006.
An overview of the rise of Mao Zedong as leader of Communist China with a focus on the Long March.

Abstract
This paper examines Mao Zedong's rise to power in the Communist Party of China and focuses, in particular, how the Long March, in which Mao led some 130,000 men and women across 6,000 miles of China's countryside, actually promoted and solidified Mao's leadership.
From the Paper
"Mao Zedong's leadership of 20th Century China has a heroic, almost mythic appeal to modern Communists, yet Chairman Mao cemented the majority of his power in the mid-1930s through a series of dramatic, forceful decisions. The greatest of these was a spectacular military campaign known as The Long March, in which Mao led some 130,000 men and women across 6,000 miles of China's countryside, losing nearly 120,000 of his soldiers to starvation and disease in the process. But by a magnificent twist of fate, instead of decimating him, the Long March proved his perseverance. It primarily created a mythology of Mao as Hero, but on more pragmatic terms it established a vital base of operations outside of the Kuomintang centers of power. It also strengthened his remaining army and roused support from a disgruntled peasant class who were later instrumental in shaping his mighty career."

From the Paper
"One major area of dispute between Mao and the Returned Student leadership was military strategy. By early 1930s Mao had developed very strong opinions in this area. Despite the fact that he was without professional military training, he had always taken the strongest interest in war and strategy. The issues that divided him and the Central committee were not narrowly technical, but had important political implications."

Abstract
Long-term care can be needed for a variety of reasons from accident injuries, debilitating and long-term illness, or simply due to becoming elderly. This paper explains how there are sometimes when persons cannot care for themselves and must rely on others for their daily needs. Sometimes the care takes place in a facility designed to provide such services. However, sometimes the burden of caring for loved ones falls on family members or even friends. The writer discusses how long term care places a strain on people financially, and how this has been the primary focus of health care policy regarding long term care in the past. The paper also discusses the many emotional issues associated with it as well, not only for the patient, but for the caregiver as well. These issues can cause a variety of difficulties including depression, fatigue, stress and can even lead to the break up of a family. These issues place an even greater burden on the system and society as a whole. It states that these issues must be considered when making new long-term health care policies.

From the Paper
"There was a time when long-term care facilities did not exist and the entire burden of caring for the elderly or sick was always placed on the family. There are many who feel that this the way it still is and should be, However, the family structures are changing and this concept has now been shown to be a myth (Montgomery, 1999). This shifting family structure means that an increasing number of elderly persons are relying on long term care facilities to replace the traditional family role. The following will explore some of the issues behind these trends.
Divorce rates have been climbing for many years and the traditional idea of the nuclear is quickly being re-defined. As a result, there are now more elderly people who are divorced. The effects of this trend can be shown in the long-term care that these elders are likely to receive from their children. Divorce can harm family ties and often creates feelings of resentment or rejection in many family members. According to a study conducted by Shone and Pezzin, (1999) divorce makes it less likely that families will help each other financially or in terms of physical care. The key findings of this study were that adult children of divorced children were less likely to receive financial assistance from their parents. In addition, stepparents were less likely to receive care from their children than biological parents were. The study found that remarriage reduced the likelihood that an elderly person would receive care even further (Shone and Pezzin, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper states that concerns about anticipated demographic changes are escalating the financing problem of long-term care for the elderly. The author relates that nursing home care costs can average approximately fifty-five thousand dollars annually per person with many nursing home residents paying the bulk of the rates out of their own pockets. The author believes that a legitimate solution to resolve the problem is to go to a single payer national health insurance program, a single government fund within each state, which pays hospitals, physicians and other health care providers.
From the Paper
"Some alternative financing options for long-term care financing can emerge from homeownership but the financial industry has to agree that there is a viable reason in pursuing these options. For example, the public in recent years has pursued the home equity conversions but banks have made these instruments remain limited. In the case of fixed-term reverse mortgages, which I discussed earlier, the lending institutions have shown a reluctance to enter into these nontraditional relationships. ?The banking industry may have considered the fact that in the situation of where the elderly live longer than expected, it may force the financial institutions to foreclose or postpone claiming their assets. Banks do not like waiting to be repaid, and foreclosing on elderly widows conjures up the worst image of bankers. Neither option is attractive to the financial community.? "

Abstract
This paper discusses how there are many different terms which have been used to describe Mao Zedong, including champion of the poor, visionary leader and brutal tyrant. The question remains as to whether Mao was truly a heroic leader of the revolution, or an evil tyrant oppressing the Chinese people to meet his own ends. While it may be argued that he could be both depending on the perspective of the individual it is important to understand why there remain very different views of Mao as a leader. The paper presents the different achievements of Mao during the Chinese revolution, along with the actions of Mao which have led to many portraying him as the villain of the people of China.
Outline:
Introduction
Hero
Villain
Conclusion
From the Paper
"By 1921 Mao had become a fully fledged Communist as a result of many factors which had impacted upon his life until that time. At 27 years old he led a team from Hunan to the first meeting of the Chinese Communist Party in Shanghai. It was here that he took his first political steps, and was declared secretary of the Hunan branch of the Chinese Communist Party. Mao quickly began to unionize the manual workers in the area, such as the railroad workers, carpenters and coal miners. Seen as a visionary, even at this early stage, Mao quickly rose up through the ranks of the Communist Party. In 1925 Mao was put in charge of the Nationalist Party's propaganda department, at a time when Sun Yat-sen was attempting to reunify China through cooperation between Communist and Nationalist parties.

Abstract
This paper presents biographical information on the life and career of former Louisiana governor, Huey Long. The paper begins with a brief look at Long's childhood and adolescent years and then takes a look at his life as a young adult. Next, the paper describes Long's personality, explaining that his ambition was evident at an early age, and takes a look at his political views and his eventual rise to governor of Louisiana.
From the Paper
"Huey Long was born in a log house on a 320-acre farm on August 30, 1893. He was the seventh of nine surviving children. "The Longs were not 'poor white trash' but neither were they gentry. It was a point of family pride that they always owned the land they worked." This pride of growing up somewhat poor on the Louisiana lands gave Huey Long a life-long theme, as he rose in his eventual goal: politics. He was the benefactor of the little man. "Every Man a King" was his life-long theme, and it continued, even as he took bribes from the big oil companies on one hand, and built highways, bridges, and hospitals as governor, with the money coming from increased taxes on those common folks he "loved". Loud, controversial, itching for a fight, even with the President of the U.S., he set himself up as an idol for the poor, and an enemy of the entrenched industrial tycoons in Louisiana, and eventually throughout the U.S."

The next part then examines how the Cultural Revolution started and its degeneration into violence and destruction. It also studies how the excesses of the Cultural Revolution began and Mao's culpability for these abuses. In the conclusion, the paper examines the long-term consequences of the Cultural Revolution on Chinese society.
Table of Contents:
Gearing for Revolution
Chaos and Violence
Enduring Effects of the Cultural Revolution
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Throughout these excesses, Mao's hand remained evident. In 1966, he reveled in his god-like status as he received millions of Red Guards at Tiananmen Square in Beijing. During this speech, Mao exhorted his followers to "smash the four olds," referring to old ideas, old culture, old habits and old customs (Jiang and Ashley 2000). When the Red Guard began to destroy ancient artifacts and books, Mao did nothing to stop them. On the contrary, he used his influence to ensure that political rivals were exiled or otherwise removed from power."
"Furthermore, by forcing intellectuals to labor camps, Mao was quelling resistance from the more critical segments of the population. This helped ensure that he had a pliable foundation for his revolutionary goals. In essence, Mao was establishing a new intelligentsia, one composed of peasants and workers who were fiercely loyal to him and his ideals."

The paper illustrates the educational techniques that are effective for family members of those diagnosed with long QT syndrome. The paper then focuses on strategies for grief management that involve guided imagery and visualization techniques.
Outline:
Case Study
Long QT Syndrome
Interventions Concerning Loss and Grief
From the Paper
"Long QT syndrome is a congenital that can result in sudden arrhythmia death syndrome (SADS), where sudden death occurs as a result of cardiac arrest. Although rare, deaths from SADS, including those attributed to long QT syndrome, are not accompanied with any anatomic abnormality, which can make prediction and prevention very difficult (Meyer, Mehdirad, Salem, Kulikowska, Kulikowski, & Jamry, 2003). Long QT syndrome is characterized by arrhythmias that are associated with prolongation of the electrocardiographic QT interval, and it is also associated with hereditary genetic defects that affect the cardiac ion channels."
