From the Paper
"In the book Land of the Spotted Eagle, Luther Standing Bear offers an analysis of his people, the Lakota Sioux, their relations with the government of the whites, and a strong sense of what it means to be part of a population whose land has been systematically stolen, whose culture and rituals have been denigrated, and whose future is in doubt.
Luther Standing Bear was raised in the traditional Sioux manner. He was away from the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation in South Dakota for sixteen years before returning in 1931, and soon after, he wrote this book. His absence gave him the point of view of both a tribal member and an outsider at one and the same time, for he could see where changes had been made and could compare the way his people lived on the reservation with the way people lived elsewhere. His outside experience coupled..."

Introduction
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Stewardship may not seem like a concept that would be easily applied in a health care setting but the emphasis on stewardship and holistic care has been fully embraced by those in my clinic, and is taught through art and representation within the clinic. We frequently emphasize the needs of the whole of the community through our thoughts and actions and rely heavily on the idea that We are all related, as a guide to our interactions with patients and other people we deal with on a daily basis. Returning to the simple ideals of the Eagle Man as a goal to strive for, the emphasis that the modern is not all bad and that we can save lives with the treatments that we use, but that we can also do so in a way that better serves our environment and our community, we will succeed in setting a good example for others to do the same."

The Eagle Forum, 2002.
A analysis of the principles and contributions towards women?s rights in the United States by the Eagle Forum.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Eagle Forum, founded in 1972 with one major purpose ? to stop the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) from being passed and how since then it has grown into a powerful lobby of volunteer organizations engaged in a variety of conservative causes ? including campaigns against legalizing homosexual marriages and teaching sex education in public schools. It examines the underlying principles of women who consider the feminism of groups like the National Organization for Women (NOW) an assault on the rights of women. It looks at the principles that underlie its current conservative campaigns and how, despite its distorted views on women?s equality, the Eagle Forum has made significant contributions towards women?s rights and mainstream feminism in the United States.
From the Paper
"Just as the Eagle Forum?s blanket definition of the feminist agenda as ?anti-family? is wrong, it would also be unfair to label Phyllis Schlafly and her followers as anti-feminist or anti-women because of their stand against the ERA. After all, the Eagle Forum was initially formed by women, not men. Like feminists, the Eagle Forum states that women should have choices. As one Eagle Forum member states, ?We think (women) should also be able to be a full-time homemaker. It?s not that we say one is intrinsically better than the other."

?Spotted Horses?, 2002.
A review of William Faulkner?s "Spotted Horses".

Abstract
This paper discusses William Faulkner?s "Spotted Horses" which revolves around an auction where Flem Snopes sells some wild, good for nothing, horses to farmers of a Southern village. It examines how the character of Flem plays the most important but very short role in the story while other characters including that of Eck Snopes, Mrs. Littlejohn and Henry Armstid play longer more influential role in depicting the forces of good and evil. It looks at how though "Spotted Horses" discusses an individual isolated case where wild ponies are sold to unassuming farmers and this gives rise to some truly hilarious situations, it has many characters which infiltrate from other stories too.
From the Paper
"Faulkner has always been concerned with the subject of good and bad, but it is not exactly easy to detect these forces in his stories because of the fact that they are often obscured between the lines and can be seen in various symbols. In spotted horses we come across the universal conflict that we notice in almost every short story by the author. Snopes and Sartoris are shown as representatives of two separate worlds his works and they symbolize good and bad and traditional and non traditional."

Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"The picture depicts a textual message superimposed upon the focal point of the window. As the focus of the picture, window is the largest shape in the work. The dancer who looks up towards the window is the second dominant figure in the picture, and appears to strive towards the message and its fulfillment. As such, the hue of the window and the attitude of the dancer conspire to emphasize the message of the text: strength or misery is a choice that each individual makes. The dancer strives towards the choice of strength, with the light in front of and above her working to assist her."

Chartres' "Statue of the Standing Virgin and Child", 2006.
A description and analysis of the "Statue of the Standing Virgin and Child".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a description of the Chartres statue "Statue of the Standing Virgin and Child", explaining that this work of art, in comparison with other statues of the Virgin Mary and her child, is more than a work of art dedicated to the Virgin in that it is also a realization of the humanity and humility of the woman who was chosen to be the mother of Christ.
From the Paper
"There is a playful interchange, dealing no doubt with the small apple. Bur, the child seems to be touching it playfully, but still looking has his mother and the fruit. Yet, if the mother is thought to look aristocratic, the Child is just a child at this point. There seems to be no "holiness" about him. We see, in other statues and paintings, that there is usually an aura or halo that surrounds the heads of Jesus and his Mother. Here, the ivory statue seems to have been posed by a young aristocratic woman. This is totally different from the warmth that seems to exude from the way the Chartres Virgin stands, the way her folds drape loosely around her body, compared with the more Romanesque carefully pleated folds on the ivory statue. Here "she supports the infant Christ in the crook of her left arm while the voluminous sweeping folds about her body direct the eye to Him and lend visual support....This attribute adds the connotation that the Virgin is the new Eve who has come to redeem the sins of the old Eve.."

Marriage and Long-Standing Relationships, 2007.
A comparison of marriage with other long-standing relationships and their implications for society.

Abstract
This paper discusses the basic social institution of marriage and compares it to other long-standing relationships. The paper reviews literature that discusses the attempts to reduce marriage to only one among many forms of recognized and legalized relationships. It discusses the findings of these papers and the implications of these views for society.
From the Paper
"These major trends in law appear to be attempts to channel public law into an entirely new and authoritative framework "beyond conjugality (Cere 2000)." If they managed to make marriage as only one of many equally valid forms of close relationships, any kind of close relationship could be legally recognized and deserving of social support. The observation was that, recently, the most controversial subject in marriage law was not gay marriage but polyamory. Polymory is distinguished from polygamy. Polygamy means many marriages and polymory means many loves. A polyamorous relationship could consist in multiple-partner sexual relationships, whether in marriage or not. Advocates of polyamory advanced "ethical non-monogamy," which involved more than one person in an open, communicative and honest way. These advocates pushed for liberal religious traditions to recognize multiple-partner marriage (Cere)."

Abstract
The end of the 19th century in the United States brought immense change: the exponential growth of industrialization and decline of farming; the influx of immigrants into the factories and second-generation integration into socio-economic arenas; the awakening of women as equal partners; a radical change in political outlook; the emphasis on social reform; the rise and fall of civil rights; the increasing impact of organized labor; and the interaction between international issues and domestic policies. In short, it was a time of total unrest, upheaval, and movement. This paper shows how, in less than 400 pages, Nell Irvin Painter captures the turmoil of moving from an agrarian society to an urban, industrial one, leaving the reader greatly impressed with the accomplishments of this age, but saddened as well with the negative consequences.
From the Paper
"However, difficulties arose when trying to pass legislation. Essentially, the farmers were a very heterogeneous group, from poor sharecroppers to well-to-do planters, whose ideas often conflicted. As a result, the Populists or people?s party was formed to support such issues as government ownership of railroads and telegraphs, more land grants given to settlers, flexible currency based on silver, graduated income tax, postal savings banks, direct elections and an eight-hour day. ?The corporation has been placed above the individual,? stressed Populist presidential candidate General Weaver, ?and an armed body of cruel mercenaries permitted in times of public peril to discharge police duties which clearly belong to the State? (Painter, 99)."

Judith Plaskow's "Standing Again At Sinai", 1994.

From the Paper
"In her book Standing Again at Sinai, Judith Plaskow attempts to shape and describe a feminist Judaism, and she does so by describing the existing situation and how it developed, the meaning of a feminist Judaism, and how such a change might be brought about, assuming that it is determined that this would be a valuable addition to Judaic thought and practice. Plaskow begins by noting the contradictions that exist between a feminist conception of Judaism and the actuality, and she then considers different aspects of Jewish life and how women fit into them as well as how she believes women should fit into them. Her discussion echoes that of a number of other religious and feminist theorists who have considered the nature of religious thought today, the way a patriarchal religious society has developed, and how to regain some of what has been lost over the ...

"The Civil Rights Movement in its contemporary form started in 1955 with an act of mild disobedience by a black woman on a bus in the Deep South. Black leaders developed several strategies over the next few years, strategies that would be successful in changing laws and in getting some of the long-standing discriminatory institutions of the South changed. Between 1954 and 1965, the Civil Rights Movement developed into a major movement for social justice, societal change, and self-determination for millions of black Americans. The tactics undertaken by the movement have ranged from violent to nonviolent, with nonviolent predominating under the direction of Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers. The movement started first around the busing issue in Montgomery, Alabama, but it was also the culmination of decades of frustration nearly a century ..."
