12 Angry Men - 801 words
12 Angry Men Every person may have his own way of
defining the term "reasonable doubt."  In the play
"Twelve Angry Men", by Reginald Rose, one juror,
number Eight, stands alone against 11 others to
convince them that the boy is not guilty.  He looks
beyond the given testimonies in order to give the
boy a fair trial, though this is more then the
others think the boy deserves.  If the jury finds a
"reasonable doubt", it must declare an innocent
verdict.  A young man stands accused of fatally
stabbing his father, and his fate now lies in the
hands of his "peers:" 12 men from all walks of
life, each with his own agenda, fears and personal
demons.  At first, based on their conversation, it
seems that ...

A Global Assembly Line Is A Capitalists Dream Come True It Allows Companies To Do Business In Free Trade Zones To Manufacture - 1,978 words
A global assembly line is a capitalists dream come
true.  It allows companies to do business in free
trade zones to manufacture goods throughout the
world at the lowest possible cost to the company. 
This assembly line enables companies like Nike,
with corporate headquarters in the U.S. w to shut
down their factories here, and move over seas
where there are less restrictions and cheaper
labor.  Where as the production cost are
drastically less in these free trade zones, so are
the human rights laws, especially those pertaining
to women, the majority of the work force.  By
moving its production sites to places like Asia,
Nike is able to pay workers sub-minimum wage, on
top of allowing the corpora ...

A Traveler Is Resolute And Independent - 1,973 words
A Traveler is Resolute and Independent Tenets of
Wordsworth in Resolution and Independence
Romanticism officially began in 1798, when William
Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge anonymously
published Lyrical Ballads.  This work marked the
official beginning of a literary period which had
already begun many years before 1798.  A work is
defined to be of a certain period by its
characteristics, therefore to be considered a
Romantic work, the work must contain aspects which
are termed "Romantic."  A few typical "Romantic"
aspects are: love of the past; sympathy to the
childs mind; faith in the inner goodness of man;
aspects of nature having religious, mystic, and
symbolic significance; and reco ...

Age Of Innocence - 1,264 words
Age Of Innocence Although Martin Scorcese does not
sound like the logical choice to direct an
adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel about manners
and morals in New York's society in the 1980's the
psychological violence inflicted between
characters is at least as damaging as the physical
violence perpetrated by Scorcese's usual
gangsters.  Martin Scorcese has made a reputation
of conveying the essence of the human spirit
through visuals and vivid colors.  His work in "The
Age of Innocence" is no different.  Scorcese
closely observed the tiny details of the world and
the impossible situation within the novel.  The
film stays remarkable true to the Wharton novel,
fleshing out details and bringing th ...

Alcoholismnature Or Nuture - 1,645 words
Alcoholism-Nature Or Nuture?  INTRODUCTION:
Alcoholism can affect anyone.  It has enormous
costs as it pertains to societies, families, and
individuals.  It is not prejudicial towards any
race, color, sex, religion, or economic level. 
Although we do have ideas as to what alcoholism
is, what we do not know is the exact cause(s) of
this problem.  Researchers are continually seeking
answers to the long-standing nature versus nurture
debate.  Different views are split between a
biological paradigm and a physchological paradigm. 
No one explanation seems to be better than another
is.  I will present views of the effects alcoholism
has on society and an insight to the factors that
serve to fuel the natur ...

McCall's "Makes Me Wanna Holler," he describes the
difficulties he must face as a young black boy
experiencing the slow, never-ending process of the
integration of blacks and whites.  Through this
process, his autobiography serves as an excellent
example of my theory on the formation and
definition of racial identity; a theory which is
based upon a combination of the claims which
Stuart Hall and George Lipsitz present in their
essays regarding racial identity.  Therefore the
definition I have concocted is one in which racial
identity consists of an unstable historical
process through which one comes to know themselves

Anarchism And Liberalism - 1,376 words
Anarchism And Liberalism Contemporary liberal and
anarchist philosophy are both two very different
ways of trying to see what would be the best way
to run society.  While discussing these two
ideologies I will try to show how both, in their
purist sense, are not able work in today's society
effectively.  Contemporary liberals are involved in
every day politics but through over regulation and
dependence on government they loose their chances
of running a reliable democracy.  Anarchist have
very good ideas of how a natural society could
function without government or modern institutions
but the biggest problem they have is how to get to
that point.  Both theories look good on paper but
once they h ...

... st groups to represent the labor force,
minority groups, and any apathetic and helpless
citizens.  The presence of sub-government groups,
such as big industry, are recognized as being
insufficient in representing the public's interest
and so the liberals call for more regulations to
control these sub-governments from abusing their
power.  This goes right along with the whole
philosophy of contemporary liberals in that they
don't want to start over and rebuild the
government, but rather reform it and ad more
regulations to control it.  The idea of a ruler
goes against the basic stance of anarchism. 
Proudhon best describes this view when he said,

Anselm - 1,489 words
Anselm Not every great writer can be correct in
what he or she is saying.  This is the idea that
Gaunilo had in mind when he wrote his criticism to
St. Anselm's Ontological Argument which states
that if something greater than anything else that
could be thought of is conceived in the
understanding then it must exist.  Gaunilo says it
is foolish to believe in the existence of
something just because it is understood.  He says
there must be some kind of other explanation.  In
this paper, I will try to explain both Anselm's
theory and Gaunilo's argument by first breaking
each of them down in simpler terms.  I will attempt
to show what Gaunilo is trying to discredit with
his objection.  One of St. Anse ...

Antigone The Tragic Hero - 598 words
Antigone The Tragic Hero There has always been a
bit of confusion as to the tragic hero of the
Greek Drama Antigone.  Many assume that simply
because the play is named for Antigone, that she
is the tragic hero.  However, evidence supports
that Creon, and not Antigone, is the tragic hero
of the play.  Examining the factors that create a
Greek Tragedy, and a tragic character, it is clear
that the tragic hero is in fact Creon.  First, take
into account the timeframe in which Antigone was
written.  During the time of Sophocles, women were
considered second class citizens.  They would not
even be permitted to act in the drama Antigone.  It
seems unlikely that Sophocles would choose a woman
as the tragic ...

confusion between the flight crew on how to change

the mechanical nose gear indicator in the nose
compartment.  The flight crew also displayed a lack
of awareness of the actual aircraft's position and
had become complacent in their duties by relying
on the autopilot to fly the aircraft.  This lack of
