Abstract
This paper discusses the way that purchases contribute to a person's self-definition and feeling of worth and belonging. It discusses the writer's most recent purchase of more than $100 dollars and what this item means to him. Furthermore, the writer describes how this item contributed to his self-definition and from where in society the definition attached to this item comes.
From the Paper
"Before the Industrial Revolution peoples' identity was defined by their relationships with others. This is because it was not very easy for the average person to acquire a great deal in the way of material possessions. However, after the Industrial Revolution, when material possessions became more readily available for the common man, the way people defined themselves and others in society began to change. "With the easy availability of goods, people became more inclined to define themselves by what they possessed and the elusive merry-go-round quest for status accelerated" (Monczunski, p. 2). One reason for this change could be based on the belief that with material possessions readily available, the people who work the hardest or are the smartest will obtain the most possessions, working hard and being smart being considered positive characteristics of the most worthwhile people."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer presents her personal definition of the field of nursing. It includes the four main concepts of nursing, health, the patient, the nurse, and the environment and notes what personal and professional values are inherent in the writer's definition. The paper also provides examples of how the writer's definition is reflected in practice in the ICU. These values are also looked at in relation to the overall Jesuit mission.
From the Paper
"This paper is the statement of my personal definition of nursing. It will first discuss the four concepts of nursing and how I see them. These concepts are: health, the patient, the nurse, and the environment. Next, direct examples will be given that show how my personal definition is applied to actual nursing practice, in my case, in the intensive care unit (ICU). Finally, these ideas will be looked at in light of the overarching Jesuit values and mission. By looking at all of these aspects of my own definition of nursing and application of said idea, an overall picture of caring for others, for their health and their humanity, will be painted. The first concept that makes up my own personal definition of nursing is one of the main tenets of the field: health."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Aristotle's definition of the tragedy, the most important element is that the medium in which the events occur is a drama rather than a narrative. The author points out that Sophocles' "Oedipus the King' is a tragedy that is demonstrated through the unity of events. The paper rates that thought, which relates to the ideas behind the tragic events in the drama, and diction, which refers to the expression of meaning through words, are other important tragic elements that Aristotle defines as important in a tragedy. The author discusses Sophocles' use of the chorus, which coincides with Aristotle's fifth important element of tragedy---song or melody.
From the Paper
"The second important element of the tragedy is a strong main character, who supports the plot of the drama. In this, the main character's motivations and fears interlink with the plot elements in the movement towards the climax of the tragedy. The main character, according to Aristotle, should not only be a person of great importance and prosperity in society, but he should also have admirable personality traits. The combination of material and spiritual prosperity will then make the outcome all the more tragic. This is certainly so in the case of Oedipus."

From the Paper
"In U S society, individual liberty remains a hallmark of democratic principles. Individual liberty stems from the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke Voltaire and Adam Smith. Such views heavily influenced Thomas Jefferson's idea that the government that governs best governs least. Individual liberty is a cornerstone of American democracy being a guarantee of the Declaration of Independence. We hold these Truths to be self evident that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights .."

Abstract
This paper discusses the concepts of liberty and independence and what they mean to America. It discusses these terms as they are relevant to the American character and looks at how these concepts, while an important part of the American way of life, are still somewhat vaguely defined and applied in American society.
From the Paper
"However, the Declaration then, as now, serves as a model of an ideal yet to be reached. The Congress of men who drafted and revised and then adopted and signed the Declaration were white and male, middle or upper class, landowners or lawyers or other professionals. The fact they believed all men to be equal did not include the black freedmen or slaves, which, by Supreme Court regulations, could be considered three-fifths of a "regular" American citizen. There was no female suffrage, of course, and there was no feminine input into the document, even though it eventually would cause mothers to lose their sons, and wives their husbands in the struggle to preserve a liberty which had no solid foundation."

Definition of Ophelia Through Flowers, 1999.
The importance of flower meanings and symbolism in Shakespeare's "Hamlet".

Abstract
This paper examines the contemporary meaning of the flowers used by Ophelia in ?Hamlet.? The meaning of the flowers have been carefully researched and their use and relevance is discussed. There is also a discussion about stage directions and Ophelia?s lack of voice.
From the Paper
"In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, it became a popular trend to speak in what was called ?the language of flowers:? a system where different flowers had different meanings, and entire thoughts could be conveyed through a carefully arranged bouquet. Throughout Shakespeare?s tragic play, Hamlet, this language of flowers is used quite prominently, particularly in relation to Ophelia, Hamlet?s love. Her flowers ultimately become her voice: all her life she is the lone female surrounded by father, brother and lover, but it is through this language of flowers which she may speak, not in words, but in a way which is completely understood by her contemporaries, since it is safe to say that Shakespeare?s original viewers would have been knowledgeable about the ?meanings? of different flowers, much more so than today?s audience. This conclusion can be reached not only by looking at the period during which this trend was popular,[1] but mainly because some of the most important parts of the play make no sense without a basic knowledge of these meanings."
