Abstract
This paper discusses a chapter dealing with the gang rape of a girl and the author's reaction to the narrative. The author elaborates on how society, in the story, related to such an event then and how society may view such an event in the present time (according the the author's personal opinion and experience).
From the Paper
"The chapter also underscored for me of how cruel and non-reflective young people, especially in peer groups, can be, unless taught otherwise. Kevin, Kyle, Chris and the others seemed never to have been held accountable for any of the destructive or illegal things they had done at school and elsewhere; so they must have believed that they would get away, similarly, with the gang rape of Leslie."

"Guys and Dolls", 2005.

Abstract
"In this paper, it is shown that "Guys and Dolls" offers a limited range of vocal sensibilities that are needed to fulfill plot expectations and important cues for character development. Since Brando had not been able to sing as well as Sinatra or other members of the cast, it is clear that this limitation devolves the criterion for a successful film musical. The paper argues that without the full camera view to envision the dance movements of the Broadway, the film also is ineffectual in giving the full musical experience to viewers.
From the Paper
"This movie review will analyze the cinematic ineffectiveness of Guys and Dolls (1955) in contrast to the theatrical "popularity" of the Broadway version. The basis of the Broadway production elicits a far greater range of songs, and with a more variety in how spatial movements can be placed in the theater. The film actually diminishes the wider format of a stage view, and limits the facets of movement, vocal projection, and presence of the actors. In essence, this film presents many innovative stage design principles found in theater, but lacks a "Broadway authenticity" due to the inexperience and limitations of cinematic direction and cast. The plot of Guys and Dolls revolves around Sky Masterson (Marlon Brando) and Nathan Detroit (Frank Sinatra) who make a bet on a romantic intrigue. Detroit needs the money from Masterson, since he wishes to get involved in a high stakes gambling venture."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Glen Ridge Rape case as investigated by Bernard Lefkowitz in his book titled, 'Our Guys: The Glen Ridge Rape and the Secret Life of the Perfect Suburb' and addresses various issues connected with this heinous crime. Glen Ridge was considered a peaceful suburban area in New Jersey but the dark reality that lies just beneath that fa?de of peace and tranquility is what the author has tried to unleash. By focusing on the psychological, social and cultural aspects of the case, Lefkowitz reached the conclusion that Glen Ridge community and its social values are as much to blame for the case as the defective upbringing of those charged with the rape of Leslie Faber. The paper also includes a detailed application of Bronfenbrenner's model to one of the guys involved in the case to see how social and environmental factors produced conducive climate for this brutal act of violence. 9 pgs, bibliography lists 2 sources.

Abstract
This paper details the numerous errors on the part of the Ontario police department, as well as the prosecutors who were determined to find Guy Paul Morin guilty of killing Christine Jessop. This paper explores the various reasons Morin was wrongfully convicted including the fact that the police did not seek out any other suspects, as they were sure Morin was guilty. On October 3, 1984, 9-year-old Christine Jessop was brutally beaten, stabbed, raped and murdered. Morin was charged with the murder of Christine Jessop. When the prosecution could not prove its case in 1986, Morin was acquitted of the murder. Immediately the verdict was appealed by the prosecution. The Supreme Court ruled that the judge misdirected the jury. Evidence played a key role in the conviction and exoneration of Guy Paul. This paper also details the main evidence that had been used against Guy Paul had in fact been contaminated since 1985.
From the Paper
"Police had leads to other people, but did not follow up on them because they were just after Guy Paul, not anybody else. The first possible person is Paul Wilsonm he was seen cleaning the inside of his truck with a hose, which made his employer suspicious. Police just look at the truck and said "it looks fine" and that was the end of that. The second possible suspect was Tom Atkins. Atkins was charged with the sexual abuse of 5 year old and lived in the area. When he passed a polygraph test, police let him go, even though they had a search warrant and could have searched his house to be certain he did not have anything to do with the murder. The third suspect is Mike Taylor. He (Mike) had been working at the cemetery where Christine used to play, he also once threatened his sister with a gun. Mike once went after his father with a chainsaw, but he had an alibi for the night of the murder, his family. Later on, Mike's sister changed her story, but not with the police."

Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the book "What Went Wrong: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East" by Bernard Lewis. The paper examines how Bernard Lewis, a respected author and expert historian who has written on a variety of historical topics, presents the argument that Islam has gone terribly wrong in modern times, and that after medieval times, the Islamic world began a decline in power, learning, the arts, and economy that the region has never been able to regain. The writer explains that Lewis shows the Middle East has almost always been torn by war and strife, and that the modern Middle East suffers from many ills that lead Muslims to anger, dissent, external and internal warfare, and economic despair.
From the Paper
"Throughout the text, he shows his understanding of the Arabic world and her peoples, even down to their lack of modern time and measurement technology - simply because it is not exceptionally necessary in their world. The author writes, "Apart from prayer, there were few other activities that required even approximate timing. This was a society in which there were no parliaments, councils, or municipalities, and the conduct of public business required no kind of schedule" (Lewis 122). This is just one example of how Western technology, so very desirable in the West, was often unnecessary in the East, and technology and advances began to pass the Muslim Middle East by."

Abstract
This paper looks at the early childhood and upbringing of the famous writer, Bernard Malamud. It analyzes his first writings and looks at how his unique style and topic choice developed and matured over the many years of his writing career.
From the Paper
"Malamud?s writings are very interesting and contain old world flair (Biography Resource Center, 2004). Kramer (2004) writes, ?Most of Malamud's fiction describes in a humorous but sympathetic way the misfortunes of city dwellers, particularly Jews.? His works contain many characters that have problems, frequent misunderstandings, and misplaced triumphs, rise into the realm of fantasy and sometimes include a lesson to be learned. Malamud wrote of about what he knew such as the poor simple people and about how he grew up during the Depression. His characters are all people of trade, and include butchers, bakers, egg peddlers, candle makers and tailors who work with the sweat of the brow, through tears and rage as they compete to beating back whatever it is that threatens to take away their livelihood."

Bernard Williams and External Reasons, 2008.
An examination of Bernard Williams' arguments regarding external reasons and their ethical compatibility.
1,546 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Bernard Williams' view and arguments that external reasons have no impact upon moral decision-making. In doing so, the paper presents and explains both Williams' position and that of the Kantian school he opposes. Ultimately, it argues that Williams' stance is compromised and is incompatible with the basic nature of ethics.
From the Paper
" To close, the last several pages have looked at Bernard Williams' argument that internal realities and not a priori, objective "externalities" shape (rational) moral decision-making in human beings. While Williams' work certainly has some logical force, it is compromised in the sense that it appears to oppose the entire intent of ethical/moral philosophy - which is to arrive at a set of principles capable of guiding human conduct. In the final analysis, Bernard Williams has created a provocative thesis on the motivations informing human action - but it is one that refutes the necessity for even having moral philosophy around in the first place."
