Abstract
In the world of radio talk shows, there can be no question that shock-jock personality Howard Stern is one of the most controversial show leads in history. This paper discusses the fines levied against the Howard Stern Show by the FCC and outlines the reasons for those fines. Additionally, this paper discusses Stern's long history of battle against censorship in relation to the FCC, and briefly discusses Stern's popularity among certain groups within the United States. The paper shows that while Stern is certainly controversial and disliked by many in religious, political, and women's rights communities, his strong voice acts as a symbol of free speech for many fans.
From the Paper
"Specifically, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Pennsylvania was fined for airing Howard Stern episodes containing explicit sexual material. While the decision was appealed, the appeal was lost. Following the initial complaint, the FCC heard complaints from Americans for Responsible Television, concerned about Stern's sexual content, and the African-American Business Administration, which was concerned over Stern's attitude towards blacks. By 1993, stations had incurred over $1.7 million in fines over Stern's radio show (Foerstel, 1997)."

Howard Stern, 2002.
A discussion of whether Howard Stern is an outcast or American icon.

Abstract
This paper analyzes traditional American views and responses to outcasts, and tries to understand how the "King of All Media", Howard Stern, can be hated by so many, yet so influential on contemporary culture. The paper suggests that it is precisely Stern's willingness to live on the edge and push boundaries that makes him a true social revolutionary.
From the Paper
"According to Webster?s Dictionary, an outcast is ?one who is cast out or expelled?often, a degraded person.? American Heritage calls an outcast anyone who ?has been excluded from a society or system.? While these definitions describe how an outcast appears, they simultaneously undermine his true significance. They fail to recognize him as a psychological phenomenon who impacts society in the most profound way. The outcast, while, by definition, banished to the outer limits of the social sphere, nonetheless succeeds in consistently capturing the attention even of his fiercest enemies. He is at once a social misfit?one to be avoided at all costs?and the object of tremendous curiosity. The outcast consciously and purposely goes against the grain of society, pushing the rules to the limit and exposing to the human race everything that it denies about itself. Yet, despite all this, or more correctly, because of it, society is drawn towards the outcast, ostensibly to ruin him and to protect the moral structure of the community, but, more deeply, to struggle with him, to attempt to reconcile internally the reflection of the outcast that each person sees in himself."

A Brand Purchase, 2007.
This paper analyzes the consequences of Sirius Satellite Radio's "purchase" of Howard Stern.

Abstract
The paper examines the effect Stern's move to Sirius Satellite Radio has on XM Satellite Radio, its most important competitor and the effect it is bound to have at Sirius itself. The paper reveals that acquiring Howard Stern caused a growth in Sirius' subscription. The paper also notes that Stern is a controversial figure and the company may have to face numerous critics and possible lawsuits for allowing different manifestations on the radio station. The paper relates that there was a negative impact on XM Satellite Radio, but concludes that the success of a company is not necessarily correlated with its brand acquisition campaign.
From the Paper
"Before referring to the effect Stern's move will have on XM Satellite Radio, its most important competitor, we first of all need to exemplify and particularize with the effect it is bound to have at Sirius itself. First of all, we can relate to a brief cost vs. revenues analysis. As mentioned, the cost of bringing Howard Stern on the team revolved around $500 million per year, equivalent to $100 million a year. At an average yearly price of $142.45 (as of the offer ending July 31, 2006), this would mean that Howard Stern's 'purchase' would have to bring in an expected approximately 700,000 new subscribers every year for a breakeven point. Joseph Clayton, Sirius CEO, said this was easy to achieve and April Horace, analyst with Janco Partners, followed up noting that it was "a good move" ."

Gerald Stern's "The Buffalo Creek Disaster".
This paper discusses the events of this story and the details of the landmark lawsuit are retold in Gerald Stern's "The Buffalo Creek Disaster".

Abstract
This paper explains that, in February of 1972, a dam built of coal waste refuse collapsed, unleashing a torrent of water and waste, sludge derived from coal-mining and coal-washing operations, killing 25 people and leaving the four thousand survivors homeless, their lives devastated, and their personal properties destroyed. The author recounts that Washington DC-based Arnold and Porter, for which Gerald Stern worked, took on the case; Stern's work as an advocate for disenfranchised minority citizens of the American Deep South made him an ideal and idealistic lawyer representing the survivors of the Buffalo Creek disaster. The paper relates the two main aspects to the Buffalo Creek Disaster lawsuit, which Stern won,: (1) The plaintiffs had to prove that Pittston was not simply careless or negligent, but was actually recklessly responsible for the disaster; and (2) Stern had to come up with monetary figures for his plaintiffs, assessing the damages due to them should the lawsuit be successful.
From the Paper
"Following the disaster, which occurred in a section of rural Logan County, West Virginia, the coal company blamed nature, calling the dam failure an "act of God." This vague term was meant to assuage the survivors of the disaster and ease the pain of losing their loved ones and friends. However, the collapse of a waste water dam was obviously no "act of God" and it became apparent that the only way to prevent the coal company from getting away with their gross negligence was to sue and sue big. Stern had hoped to file criminal as well as civil charges against Pittston, the New York corporation that owned the Buffalo Mining Company. Although the Buffalo Mining Company was itself the owner of the dam, Stern reasoned that it would be far simpler and more effective to directly sue Pittston. Part of this decision was based on what Pittston describes as "piercing the corporate veil.""

Urban Planning: Ebenezer Howard, 2005.
This paper examines the influence of nineteenth-century Englishman Ebenezer Howard on urban planning.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, £ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes Ebenezer Howard's role in the advancement of urban planning. The author points out that Howard understood the necessity of asserting control over urban development. The paper further describes Howard's belief that controlling urban development improves city life, enhances productivity, increases efficiency and reduces the socioeconomic and political problems that uncontrolled urbanization produced. The paper relates that Howard believed that the negative aspects of urbanization could be minimized and eventually eliminated through logical urban planning to which he devoted his life.
From the Paper
"In analyzing the advancement of urban planning, it is evident that innovative urban thinkers, like Ebenezer Howard, understood the vital importance of promoting and achieving effective urban development. Throughout the centuries, most cities expanded outward from their central core in a haphazard fashion in response to a variety of short-term economic, social and geographical factors. As this random process unfolded, cities became sprawling urban areas in which the quality of human life steadily declined, economic productivity suffered, and social and political tensions became chronic problems.

"The Life Of Margaret Fuller" ( Madeleine Stern ), 1999.

Abstract
There are elements of Margaret Fuller's life that seem to belong to a story, and Madeleine Stern has taken advantage of that fact in her biography. Unlike more formal biographies, this one reads like a work of fiction. Stern used dialogue and description as if this were a novel. Nonetheless, the techniques she used are somewhat controversial, since they represent a recreation of events and thoughts that the author cannot really know.

"The Life of Margaret Fuller
Introduction
There are elements of Margaret Fuller's life that seem to belong to a story, and Madeleine Stern has taken advantage of that fact in her biography. Unlike more formal biographies, this one reads like a work of fiction. Stern used dialogue and description as if this were a novel. Nonetheless, the techniques she used are somewhat controversial, since they represent a recreation of events and thoughts that the author cannot really know. Although Stern indicated that all the details were known from either Fuller's journals or other sources, this is clearly not true when she described what other people were thinking and feeling. In this respect, her work does include invention".

Abstract
This paper discusses E.M. Forster's "Howard's End" written in 1910. The paper describes the arguments of class as discussed in "Howard's End." It describes the economic ambitions of the two families presented in the book and how that resulted in their achieving similar economic positions in society. It concludes with the way that the traditional world of the one family merged into the modern world of the other.
From the Paper
"At every turn, Henry Wilcox behaves as is appropriate for his class. These behavioral expectations dictate rigidly-defined gender roles and attitudes. The Basts, being beneath the class boundaries of either Wilcox or Schlegel, are subject to manipulation - or punishment - for their respect for, or abuse of, class principles. Bast has crossed an uncrossable line, and so suffers Henry Wilcox's "career advice." Jacky Wilcox adheres to a more suitable role, and so involves herself in an unmentionable relationship with Wilcox."

Abstract
The author states that ?Howard's End? is an Edwardian novel written before the Great War. He continues that the plot is complex but is held together by the country house called Howard's End, a metaphor for England itself. The paper discusses that the characters respected the land but not each other. The paper continues to discuss the concept of wealth and compares this book compared to the writings of the American F. Scott Fitzgerald.
From the Paper
"But it also stands for something larger than simply England, for it represents the ways in which people can be tied to a particular piece of the earth from one generation to the next. The first World War brought to an end many things, and this may have been one of the most significant things that was lost, this sense that our relationship to the land is one of the things that can be counted on to endure from generation to generation. Already we see that sense of connection being loosened in this book, but it still endures."

Abstract
In this analysis of "Howard's End" by E.M Forster, the writer of the paper shows how Forster effectively uses this novel to reflect upon and analyze the social and economic attitudes in England during the first part of the twentieth century. The significance of money as a central theme and the characters are also examined.
From the Paper
"E.M. Forster's novel "Howard's End" challenges the social class system of the times, causing many critics to take note of his political opinions. Money, its use, its power, and the pursuit of it come to be the central focus of the novel. For the three representative families - Bast, Wilcox and Schlegel, money is at the root of their troubles. Their absolvement and peace only comes after they realize their faults - when Leonard realizes that money cannot buy him what he truly desires, which is to trust others; when Margaret finally understands that family is more important than any concert or book; when Henry finally sees how selfish it is of him to close his heart off to what he truly feels. Forster uses these individuals to explore his own ideas of the great change in the society in which he is surrounded."

Abstract
This paper discusses how E.M Foster's novel, "Howard?s End", is an attempt to debunk the gender roles of his era. It explains how this novel is considered to be the best of the author's work as a symbolic exploration of the social, economic, and philosophical forces in England in the first half of the 20th century. Foster uses three English families of different classes to explore the competing ideals of materialism, intellectualism, and aspiration. It shows how Foster, through the depiction of the female characters, claims that gender is a social creation and that gender roles are relative to each period and can be studied in their historical context.
From the Paper
"How do we conceive of ourselves as embodied beings? How do we come to have a realization of our gendered existence? These are some of the most significant questions in human history. Today scholars and historians believe that gender identity does not exist as primordially and externally fixated but is invented, created, resisted and subverted the fulcrum of multiple identities. So enmeshed is gender in this axis that differences such as race, class, caste and community may be steeped in and spoke through the language of sexual difference. Thus the question of invention of identity is also a question of power wherein gender becomes the signifier of power differences. Gender differences are not modern phenomena it has existed in ancient times and throughout history, the sexual differences were common in Roman, Greek and Egyptian civilization. Even in the mythic stories of Gilgamesh, Norse myths, Code of Hammarabi, Egyptians stories, Iliad, Homer, Arabian Nights and many more depict the sexual differences. Men and women are presented in different ways, assigned different roles and have specific characters."
