Abstract
Case Study
Evolution of Unborn Victims Violence Act
Legal Issues Arising From The Violence Act Against Unborn Victims
What The Future Holds
From the Paper
"Fortunately, a month before this incidence the state of Arkansas had adopted a new State Law by the name of Unborn Victims of Violence Act August 1999. This law recognized unborn children as crime victims and thereby gave a status of living human being to fetuses. Thanks to that law, Shiwona's boyfriend, Erik Bullock and the men he hired were duly prosecuted and convicted for their murder of Heaven along with assault on Shiwona. The law was meant to protect all such Heavens who are unable to protect themselves.
But many women have not been as fortunate as Shiwona. As the March 21, 2001 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association reveals that after doing away with age and race, homicide is the leading cause of death among pregnant women in Maryland while the same is fifth leading cause of death among non-pregnant women. This indicates that the fatal and non-fatal assaults on pregnant women - including those who are attacked knowingly and intentionally "with child", are far more common than most people presume. "

Women Victims of Violence, 2005.
This paper based on a collection of feminist essays about women, sexuality and violence.

Abstract
This paper review eight feminist essays, which support the argument for the way different cultural influences continue to promote ideas of women as sexual objects. The author points out that physical, sexual, and social and economic violence against women is somehow acceptable. The paper relates that North America has not stopping commodifying female sexuality, any more than it has stopped dominating and sometimes oppressing women.
From the Paper
"This paper discusses a range of articles that pertain to different aspects of women's commodification by men, usually as sex objects, and as this connects to male violence against women as an often accepted phenomenon. It is not that cultural mores have tolerated male violence against women so much as the fact that male violence against women occurs, at all, that makes these connections ominous. It should be a bizarre irony that love relationships so often involve male domination and violence against women. "

Mao vs. the Mahatma: Violence vs. Non-Violence, 2002.

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."

Violence vs. Non-Violence, 2002.
Discusses the merits of using non-violent methods to promote social change and justice instead of militant methods.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Nonviolence as a method of resistance has a long history that precedes the modern examples of Ghandi and King. As Martin Luther King stated, it is not the choice between nonviolence and violence, it is the choice between nonviolence and non-existence. Some activists believe that nonviolent methods are too weak, that more militant forms of disruption are needed to bring about social change. During the civil rights movement and other historical campaigns for justice, disruptive tactics were crucial to political effectiveness. Only by preserving nonviolent discipline can the movement occupy and hold the moral high ground and win political support for necessary social change.

Victims and Victimization vs Resistance, 2005.
This paper reviews the novel 'Ragtime' by E.L. Doctorow, focusing specifically on the theme of victimization.

Abstract
In this paper, the role of victim/victimizers in Doctorow's 'Ragtime' is apparent, as many of the characters in Ragtime struggle to establish or counteract social norms. The basis race and creed become the catalysts for bigotry and class stratification that allows the victim concept to be enacted. However, the sense of awareness and consciousness that Mother, Walker, Sarah, and others feel against the hypocritical Father become resistance. The basis of resistance lies on the ability of Doctorow's character to consciously change themselves by avoiding societal traditions and traps that limit their lives.
From the Paper
"In this literary study, the novel 'Ragtime' by E.L. Doctorow will be examined in relation to the theme of victims and victimization versus resistance. This novel relies more upon resistance to the historical trends found within Doctorow's "turn-of the century" American cultural and racial perspectives. Although many characters become victims and victimizers of the historical period in question, the greater reliance on Doctorow's literary approach reflects resistance to accepted societal norms. In essence, although arguments can certainly prove that the "victim roles" and "victimization" do abound in the way that characters interact within this novel, resistance provides a more conscious and verifiable way to understand change and intercultural relationships in Ragtime. The feelings of victimization in Ragtime are present within Doctorow's various stories through the institution of the American family."

The Role of Television Violence on Real Life Violence, 2004.
This paper discusses many studies that show the media violence and vulgarity on TV shows have severe and adverse effects on children and culture.

Abstract
This paper explains that, considering the gravity of the issue, many child-experts, psychologists, and the medical community are treating TV-induced violence as an issue of serious public health concern. The author points out that the media, without reducing the drama, could depict violence as the last resort for heroes and show criminals as fools and their use of weapons as shortsighted and weak; they could describe the impact of violence on the victims, the witnesses, and the criminals themselves. The paper relates that ratings and advertisers are the primary concern of commercial television, not public interest groups that want to restrict the sex and violence on network television.
From the Paper
"Certain studies suggest the positive use of TV. From the so-called reality TV programs, we can learn a lot if only we put them in proper order. Is the TV so corruptive as they seem to be? Critic Michael Medved gives a negative answer. If it were so, then film critics would have made the largest number of murders in the country. The TV elects mayors, senators and presidents, and influence or cause warfare, as in Iraq, Somalia and Yugoslavia. Sen. Brownback writes, television rules the society because it is invasive, because it has its influence on people and it has the dominant influence on the culture. On the other hand, some studies show that TV programs can make children more considerate and kind by demonstrating caring, helping programs that show cooperation. Stanford University studies state less TV equals less violence. This university earlier this year, releasing its landmark study, stated of a 40% decrease in physical aggression and a 50%decreace in verbal aggression merely encouraging children to switch off video games and TVs."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Organizations with decentralized operations typically divide those operations into cost and profit centers. This delineation, which is a management and strategic decision, has long-term ramifications for the success of the organization, and helps define (and is defined by) the culture which exists in the company at the time the decision is made. Companies which have operated with cost centers in the past may determine that changing some or all of those cost centers to profit centers may be more beneficial to the organization in the long-run. This research examines the considerations which must be taken into account when making this determination, and evaluates the effect that such a change might have on the organization as a whole.

Abstract
The paper questions whether society makes the man or whether the character of the individual determines his or her fate. The paper studies the protagonists of the 19th century stories "The Death of Ivan Ilyich," "The Lady with the Dog" and "Hedda Gabler" and shows how, although all of the protagonists are subject to social shaping, none of them are innocent. The paper explains that all characters show some free will in their actions, to the extent to which they allow their love of creature comforts or fear of what people will say to prevent them doing from what they morally know is right.
From the Paper
"Anton Chekhov's "The Lady with the Dog" has a female protagonist named Anna who is married to a man she does respect, a man very similar to Tolstoy's unattractive central character, a man she calls a flunky. She unexpectedly falls in love with a man while she is on a seaside vacation in Yalta who is not her husband, a man who is also trapped in a loveless marriage named Gurov. Anna and Gurov married before they knew what love truly could feel like, but the live in a society where divorce is a kind of social death."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that today, domestic violence represents an ongoing concern for policymakers and citizens alike. In spite of a number of aggressive initiatives intended to address this problem, the incidence of domestic violence appears to have increased in recent years and the implications of these trends are enormous. The writer points out that notwithstanding the economic costs involved in adjudicating incidents of domestic violence, the physical and emotional toll this phenomenon takes on its victims is frequently life-threatening and solving the underlying factors that contribute to domestic violence continues to confound researchers. To help shed some light on these issues, this paper provides an overview of the problem, a description of the common symptoms and issues that affect victims and offenders, a description of the resources could they access directly, and a discussion of some of the obstacles and challenges they face. A summary of the research and salient findings are provided in the conclusion.
Outline:
Review and Discussion
Background and Overview
Resources Available to Counter Domestic Violence
Current and Future Trends
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In some cases, courts have been shown to be more likely to order treatment in mandatory anger management programs or marriage counseling programs for men who have been accused of domestic violence than even social service providers working in women's shelters; furthermore, many men that experienced abusive families themselves may be able to recall being outraged by the violence they observed or experienced as children, but even as adults, they still continue perpetuate this cycle of domestic violence in their own homes. In addition, exposure to domestic violence has been highly correlated with low academic performance, learning problems, depression, regression, and behavioral and emotional problems."

Abstract
A number of ethical positions are useful when talking to a victim of domestic violence who is experiencing an escalating pattern of violence at home and feels unable to break this pattern in any way. These positions are explored in this essay. Perspectives discussed include-- the pacifist philosophy as adopted by the Mennonite Church and the Quakers; Utilitarianism as put forward by British theologian William Paley; Kant?s ethical system and, finally, the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
From the Paper
"The first possible perspective is that of pacifism, which is most generally seen as the opposition to war but in fact is a philosophical and ethical opposition to all forms of interpersonal violence. Pacifism varies from a form that is absolute and doctrinal to a relative and more practical form. Absolute pacifists are against all wars and against violence in any form whatsoever; relative pacifists are selective of the wars and violence they oppose. Most absolute pacifists stress the immorality of the taking of one person's life by another person (although they are relatively more silent on the ethics of one?s person physically harming another.) (Holmes, 1990, p. 12)."
