Estimating the Life Expectancy of A Community's Citizens:
7 pages in length. In this study, the writer analyzes death
records of a specific town and hypothesizes that the next
150 years will bring about a continued decrease in infant
and child mortality as well as an augmentation in the
number of years that people will live. A study of area
tombstones is conducted and data is collected to determine
common ages at which people have died over a period of
about 150 years. A number of possible discrepancies are
taken into account and conclusions are made with the help
of supporting library research. Several illustrative charts are
included. Bibliography lists 5 supporting sources.

Of Ancient Art : A 6 page paper that compares the Biblical

advanced age of many of the patriarchs in Genesis, and the
racial hereditary basis for characters like Esau. Bibliography
lists 3 sources. Patriar.wps

Modern Patriarchy : An 11 page paper. Patriarchy
progressively has moved from the realms of anthropological
and sociological “quirk” to that of full-blown conspiracy,
according to some modern authors. What these extreme
feminist authors have failed to consider, however, is that
patriarchy as a cultural norm seems perfectly natural in the
cultures in which it is practiced, and that it is only those of
other parts of the world who have any complaints. Even
though patriarchy is ingrained in many cultures of the world,
some of those cultures are facing the necessity of
reassessing their positions, forced not by any commonweal
thinking, but by physical realities. Somalia is used as an
example. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Patriarc.wps
