Abstract
In the last two years, the media has done a thorough job in exploiting the image of Monica Lewinsky. She has been sexualized, objectified and demonized by the media. This paper looks at Monica Lewinsky's exploitation using author John Berger's art depiction as well as headlines from various newspapers and publications. What we find out is that sexism continues to be heavily ingrained all around us. The war on Lewinsky, like the system's war on women, is part of capitalism's interest to keep women segregated to a certain sphere.

"I. Introduction
Although it has no constitutional function, the press has long had an important role to play in the American system of government. Often called The Fourth Estate, the press (now more often called "the media") is promoted in civics classes and in their own words as conducting a watchdog function over government. The cases of Watergate and Vietnam are often pointed to as examples of the media performing this role, and there are numerous examples of this at the state and local levels. However, this century has witnessed an evolving intimate, even symbiotic, relationship between the media and government, at least at the national level. From the Hearst newspaper chain's active promotion of the Spanish-American War through the often breathless trumpeting of the Gulf War by many ..."

From the Paper
"Defeated the incumbent republican President George Bush in 1992 with a catchy ?it?s the economy, stupid? slogan; re-elected in 1996. Third youngest US president in history. Major achievement: reversed the trend of rising budget deficits by cutting government spending that stimulated the economy. Faced a hostile Congress during most of his tenure. His affairs with women proved to be his Achilles? heel. In the Lewinsky scandal, he at first emphatically denied having a sexual relationship with Lewinsky, but later admitted to ?inappropriate intimate contact.? He was impeached by the House in 1998 for not being truthful and for obstructing justice in the Lewinsky case but the Articles of Impeachment were defeated by the Senate in 1999 and he remained President till the end of his term.

Public Relations in Action: Effective Public Relations, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines how effective public relations is the key to many issues that arise in a corporation, government, or other entity, and how, without a good public relations stance and department, an entity can find itself in situations it is not prepared to handle. Through three different real world examples, Johnson and Johnson, ValuJet Airlines, and the President Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, it demonstrates how not all situations are easy to handle and not all organizations or individuals are equipped to handle tough situations. It looks at how it is essential to consider all views and to launch a clear and effective public relations campaign as quickly as possible.
From the Paper
"As the crisis continued to unfold and the media began to spin the situation out of control, Lewis Jordan felt he was best equipped to handle the press and the investigation that was already underway. He flew directly to the site the day after the incident and fielded questions from the site no matter how tough the questions were. However, he continued to make it clear through his public relations message that his first priority was to the families of the ones who perished in the crash. He also felt his expertise in the airline industry was another reason for him to run the public relations message and to help the company recover from this tragic event. Jordan and ValuJet faced a media onslaught and faced speculation from the media that the cause was everything from old aircraft to the engines in the plane being substandard without any evidence as to the cause of the crash."

Value of Moral Ethics in the Life Of Ex-President Clinton, 2004.

Abstract
This paper looks at the moral and ethical debate surrounding former President Clinton's affair with former intern, Monica Lewinsky. In doing so, the paper compares Clinton's propensity for extra-marital affairs with that of former President Kennedy, also known to have had several extra-marital relationships. The paper notes the difference in press coverage and societal standards that made it possible for Kennedy to avoid public scandal but impossible for Clinton to avoid it. The paper also looks at the moral and ethical responsibility of a leader to be not only a proper role model, but to accept responsibility for his actions. The paper concludes by arguing that, while Clinton's behavior was unacceptable on a personal level, his service to the country was genuine and highly successful.
From the Paper
"In today?s political world, leaders are looked up to for creating a healthy social environment that is a pre-requisite for a healthy governing environment. More over, a growing population of the working class Americans is taking greater interest in ethics and values these days. Most voters link bad ethics with a person?s character. Many are of the view that a few ?bad apples? can spoil the working environment for the rest of the nation. Speaking of ethics, an individual who is well groomed should be able to act ethically without special training."

The Watchdog Ideal, 2002.
An assessment of the media coverage of the Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Abstract
This report assesses to what extent the internet either contributes to the erosion of the watchdog ideal or, conversely, actually helps to fill in the void in responsible reporting at least partially abdicated by the mainstream news media. The watchdog ideal ascertains that an entity or an individual will serve as guardian against waste, loss or illegal practice. It compares the coverage of the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky fiasco by media sources such as BBC, The Washington Post and ABC to Internet resources such as Yahoo News and CJR.com.
From the Paper
"The media scandal that I have chosen to research is the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky fiasco. Through the course of this paper I will provide you with the research that I have found to support the claim that: The Internet does not contribute to the erosion of the watchdog ideal, but instead helps to fill the void of balancing the information that is presented to the public.
The mainstream news media outlets that I have researched are The Washington Post, The BBC and ABC News. The Internet sources for news that I have chosen are CoffeeShopTimes.com, CJR.com and Yahoo News. I have chosen to research mostly older stories about the scandal the research included in this report is from 1998 and 1999."

Sexism in the Workplace, 2008.
A discussion on sexism in the workplace using the example of President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

Abstract
This paper begins by noting that, when Bill Clinton was caught having a sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky, his reaction may have been similar to many men in his position. His hold on power made it wrong for him to coerce her into such a role. The paper then analyzes why sexual harassment is so bad for workplace morale, ethics and the role of women in the workplace. The paper urges that the best way for a woman to avoid sexual harassment is to insure that she does not put herself in a compromising situation such as going to dinner with her boss alone. The paper then suggests that, when a woman feels that she is being sexually harassed by her boss, her best defense is to give him a firm "no", with no chance for a misunderstanding---and this is what Lewinsky should have done.
From the Paper
"One can look at Bill Clinton's reaction as typical. When first asked, under oath, if he had had sex with Lewinsky, he said: "I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." His first approach was therefore denial. His second approach was to come clean with his wife. Hillary Clinton's public face was to stay close to her man. This author believes that this is a common reaction to spouses of men who sexually harass women at work. She decided to show solidarity with her husband."

Abstract
The idea of the Supreme Court as a protector of the poor and weak, and defender of social justice, is perhaps a notion tightly bound in history.
From the Paper
"The idea of the Supreme Court as a protector of the poor and weak, and defender of social justice, is perhaps a notion tightly bound in history. The notion may be identified specifically with the Warren Court of the 1950s and 1960s, which handed down so many landmark decisions, most conspicuously in the areas of civil rights and criminal procedure. In the former realm, its most dramatic triumph is the abolition of legally enforced segregation, starting with Brown v. School Board in 1954. In the latter realm, its most visible symbol is the "Miranda warning," made immensely familiar, even to many who have never heard it in real life, due to its role as part of the ritual in every cop show on television: "You have the right to remain silent ..."

Past Predictions For The Future, 1999.

Abstract
The future, if one is to judge it in the terms portrayed thirty years ago in the film "2001: A Space Odyssey," has been something of a bust. The film's creators, Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke evidently took it for granted that 2001, commercial airlines (in fact, the now-vanished Pan Am) would be offering regularly scheduled flights to orbit, where passengers would disembark into a space station complete with a hotel coffee shop. From the space station, connecting flights would be available to well-established moon bases, and preparations would be underway to send a manned spaceship (no women aboard!) to the moons of Jupiter.

The year 2001 is nearly at hand, but almost none of the film's advances has come to pass. The commercial shuttle in the ..."

Abstract
This paper reviews the novel "Brick Lane" by Monica Ali. This is the story of a Bengali woman who grows up surrounded by superstition and the belief in fate. The paper describes her development as she raises her own family in London and attempts to shed her superstitious belief system.
From the Paper
"Learning from her sister that their mother chose suicide, Nazneen becomes able to embrace her strength. In her new found freedom, Nazneen has defied fate and made her own choices, and has not been punished or met death over it. Living in London has expanded her thinking, and her perspectives shift as she sheds her superstitious upbringing It has become clear to her that when a person depends solely on Fate, she possesses no power of her own to change anything. Her husband, as a highly educated man, could not make a happy life for himself where so much autonomy of choice keeps him confused and angry. In India, where there was not as much freedom and wealth, people are forced to rely on fate and their religious beliefs to be able to handle the rough parts of their lives. We can assume Nazneen's children will decide their own fates as they grow up, following their mother's example. Nazneen overcomes incredibly deep programming to make this major shift in her life, but she is happy, and dances in her autonomy."

Japanese Identity in Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter, 2008.
A review of the novel "Nisei Daughter," by Monica Sone.

Abstract
This paper discusses Monica Sone's novel, "Nisei Daughter," and the choice that Kazuko, the heroine, ultimately makes to be American, instead of Japanese. The writer examines the reasons behind the change in tone from the beginning of the book, where racial difference is a source of fear to the Itoi family, to the end, where Kazuko sees the internment as an event that helped her to reconcile the two parts of herself. One reason is that since the novel was written in the post-war period, Japanese-American citizens were constantly under scrutiny, and criticism of the internment camps might have triggered hostility. The writer concludes that Kazuko's acceptance of the government's actions may have been her only recourse in order not to incur further racism.
From the Paper
"It is quite possible that this defeat began when the Itois were forced to destroy their Japanese belongings, and only culminated in the conclusion of the novel. While burning her Japanese language schoolbooks, which Kazuko remarked that she "had been saving over a period of ten years with the thought that they might come in handy when [she] wanted to teach Japanese to [her] own children," she watched them "flame and shrivel into black ashes." With her plans for teaching her children Japanese gone, part of her Japanese self was defeated as well, an event that surely the American Government would have expected to happen in all Japanese-American citizens, and almost certainly the reasoning behind their insistence of destroying such materials."

Monica in Augustine's "Confessions", 2005.
Examines the influence which St. Augustine's mother had on his life and conversion in his work, "Confessions".

Abstract
Augustine's life, while riddled with uncouth morals and questionable intentions, started in paganism but finally ended in his glorious awakening into Christianity. In Augustine's "Confessions", he writes about his life, his ignorant childhood, his sinful youth and early adulthood, and finally his atonement and ascension into one of the highest positions in the church. This paper uses specific examples from his work to show many of his mother, Monica's influences on his conversion.
From the Paper
"Augustine deceived her when he told her the wrong time the ship was leaving. Although this distressed her, Monica continually prayed for Augustine's safety, for his faith, and for his return. Her continued prayers for Augustine made an impression on him later in life when he realized that her prayers ultimately brought him to Christianity. When Monica later went to Rome in search of her son, she found out that he was in the service of Ambrose in Milan. At this point Augustine had given up the Manichean heresies, but he had not yet converted."
