Abstract
This paper deals with ethics and addresses three ethical principles: Autonomy, non-maleficence and beneficence. It also looks at three ethical theories: Ethics of care, utilitarianism and liberal individualism as applied to the question whether a woman has the right to choose to abort her fetus.
From the Paper
"A woman has the right to govern her body, there are some ethical concerns, regardless of those concerns a women has a right to autonomy. Autonomy is personal independence or immunity from any arbitrary exercise of authority. In the case of abortion, women should be given complete autonomy to decide whether they would like to opt for abortion or not. Humans are given the right to choose by God and if a government regards abortion as illegal then they are taking away the woman's right to choose. This is obviously unethical and no government can take away the right to choose from any person. The central claim of the autonomy defense is that anti-abortion policies simply interfere in an impermissible way with the pregnant woman's autonomy. Even if the fetus has a right to life, it need not also have the right to use its mother's body to stay alive. The woman's body is her own property, to dispose of as she wishes."

Abstract
This is an exhaustive paper examining the way that women mentor women in modern American professional society. Examines the history of the phenomenon, and gives information on how mentoring should be given and received.
From the Paper
"Women mentoring women in the workplace is a relatively new phenomenon. Woman-to-woman mentoring encompasses circumstances and rules that are specific to a female style and representative of a female culture. The workplace puts demands on our priorities and our energy that bring new factors into woman-to-woman relationships. Our identity as professional women with career responsibilities affects our interactions with other women who are also committed to improving their performance and achieving greater success. Women learning from women at work, women mentoring each other as career professionals with job and personal lives, is an emerging opportunity with enormous potential to change work and women's lives for the future (Duff, 1999, p. xv & xvi). Mentoring begins with an influence that someone has upon another person. It also can help to shape and develop a person's personality and thoughts. In research, it has been proven that women need role models that help them to pursue and conquer future endeavors in the workforce. Discovery into the differences between males and females might be a way to unlock strategies to aid in diversity counseling as well as provide positions in organizations that are solely devoted to mentorship."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poetry of Muriel Ruckeyser, as found in her book ?The Book of the Dead?, and that of Adrienne Rich, using her work entitled "Twenty-one Love Poems". The paper gives a biographical background on each of the poets, stressing their importance to the contemporary women?s movement and to American poetry. Rich?s poems are explored for their ideas on the relationships between women, and Ruckeyser?s are studied in terms of their comparison to a documentary and in relation to her strong political view.
From the Paper
"To many, Poetry is the voice of women. It is the way in which women can express their inner thoughts and feelings, to write the things that they can not say. Poetry is more than words on paper but someone?s feelings and life poured into the readers mind. Poets let the readers climb inside their heads and taste what the poet feels, sees, and thinks.
Two major women poets that are in the inner ring of American feminist poets are Muriel Ruckeyser and Adrienne Rich. Though their poetry may be different in content, many of their messages are the same: we need to be heard. Ruckeyser?s ?The Book of the Dead? describes conditions and feelings of the Gauley Bridge tragedy through actual courtroom testimonies to words from actual citizens of the town. Adrienne Rich?s ?Twenty-one Love Poems? describes in many ways, her love of her companion as well as their struggles and times together."

Wallace Stevens and Desire: Woman Lost--Woman Ignored, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines the "Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens", America poet. The paper shows that desire and desired denied in this work may be interpreted through the archetypal psychology of Carl Jung to disclose the reason for Stevens' preference for places over people and to explain his ambivalence toward the abstract feminine figures in his poems.
From the Paper
"Feminine archetypes reconstruct the distant attitudes in Stevens' poetry by figuring-forth embedded emotions. First, they provide an archetypal perspective on individual poems. Second, they illustrate how, ranging from Harmonium (1923) to The Rock (1954), clusters of motifs influence the poet-hero's psychic development. Although their appearances change to fit their ambiguous roles, these singular feminine figures determine the poet-hero's canon-long struggle to achieve a regulated unity of self. Two categories need to be distinguished: (a) feminine figures and (b) the interior paramour. Their protean capability makes scrupulous demarcations between exterior feminine figures impossible, but three forms or combinations prevail: the summer maiden (Kore or lover), the universal mother or earth mother, and the maiden-mother (an overlapping maid and mother figure). The interior paramour represents a climax to the poet-hero's experience with exterior feminine figures."

Abstract
This is a brief paper which introduces both sides of the abortion spectrum and then provides facts and arguments to back up these sides. It discusses whether a woman's right to choose freedom for her body justifies the right of the fetus to be killed.
From the Paper
"Abortion is defined as the termination of pregnancy before birth, resulting in, or accompanied by the death of the fetus. The issue of abortion is one of the most intensely debated and polarizing issues in the world, and specifically in the United States. There have been bitter legal battles over abortion, violent confrontations at abortion clinics, and an overall sense of conflict over this extremely personal issue. The vast majority of abortions in the United States are for social reasons rather than medical ones. These reasons include a woman not feeling ready for a baby, her partner wanting it, etc. Approximately 93% of all abortions are committed for reasons such as these (Medical par.10). Abortion is wrong, and it is murder. A woman?s right to choose is superseded by her unborn child?s inalienable right to life."

Abstract
This paper introduces the book, "Free to Choose: A Personal Statement", by Milton and Rose Friedman and, in particular, indicates which school of thought the authors are from and gives a short critique of the book. It looks at how "Free to Choose" is probably one of the most famous books written on economic theory, how PBS created a 10-part documentary in concert with the book, and how the book remains a textbook on economic and political thought today. It also shows how it is a fascinating look into economic theory and a must-read for anyone who would like to learn more about the free-market economy we live in today.
From the Paper
"The Friedman's are clearly of the monetary school of thought, but they advocate a "less is more" form of government, thereby utilizing money more effectively. They advocate a free-market economy, and take care to explain just why planned or controlled economies fail. The Friedman's are definitely capitalists, and do not adhere to the socialist economic theory. Ultimately, the book equates economic freedom with political freedom, and the authors go on to explain their theories that "less is more" in all forms of government, and the people should be free to choose whatever they want, despite whether it is good or bad for them, they should still have the right to choose for themselves."

Abstract
This paper describes the thought process necessary when buying a painting for a museum: ?First Leaves, Near Mantes?by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot or ?View of Paris from the Trocadero? by Berthe Marie Paul Morisot. The author points out that when buying a painting for a public collection, artistic merits, representation of an important moment in art, a step toward the next discovery, subject matter, painting techniques and what the painting represents both literally and figuratively to the buyer are important.The author, after discussing all these elements, selects the Corot: Corot paints the trees with such strong strokes that it takes but a tiny squint test to see that what he has done in composition alone, and this is prefigure to the abstractions of the century to follow.
From the Paper
"In fact, the Impressionists followed him just about the time Morisot painted Trocadero. She was, in fact, an Impressionist, even if she lacked the notoriety of her brother-in-law, Edouard Manet. (She married his brother Eugene.) Morisot had studied with Corot when she tired of the classical approach to painting. But yet, her subject matter is more like the subject matter of classical paintings than is Corot?s.
Morisot has chosen ordinary people, although in a more formal setting than Corot?s setting in the glade. Conceivably, from their dress and the fact that the city of Paris and all its cultural attractions is prominently displayed in the painting, these people are less ordinary?more noble?than those in the Corot work. That puts it a step closer to classical painting."

Abstract
After examining the background and history of abortion in America, this paper takes a look at the arguments that opponents of abortion make in justifying their position. The paper then presents counter arguments to those arguments, based on scientific, legal, and moral analyses of the issue.
From the Paper
"Abortion, or the elective termination of pregnancy likely predates recorded human history, being practiced within virtually every society throughout the world.(6) In 1973, the United States Supreme Court very specifically decided that the United States Constitution affords a fundamental right to individual privacy that absolutely prohibits governmental interference with a women?s autonomous right to seek
medical termination of unwanted pregnancy, except where deemed necessary to safeguard the woman?s health paternalistically.(4) Ever since the legal issue was decided by the Supreme Court in 1973, a so-called pro life lobby, spearheaded by religious opposition to any type of abortion has campaigned for and funded the proposition of legislation and policies designed to undermine the rights recognized and established under constitutional law in the United States."

From the Paper
This study will provide a book review of Free To Choose, by Milton and Rose Friedman. The study will include a summary of the book, a detailed discussion of the authors' major economic arguments, and an evaluation of those arguments.
In their Preface, the authors declare that Free To Choose is a follow-up work to Capitalism and Freedom, the 1962 book which established Friedman as an ardent advocate of the capitalistic system. We read that "Free to Choose treats the political system symmetrically with the economic system. Both are regarded as markets in which the outcome is determined by the interaction among persons pursuing their own self-interests (broadly interpreted) rather than by the social goals the participants find it advantageous to enunciate" (x).
The Introduction begins with another statement making clear..."

"THE FRIEDMANS' FREE TO CHOOSE: A BOOK CRITIQUE
Overview of the Work
The neoliberal, "free-market" theories and policies promoted by Milton and Rose Friedman in this work advocate the primacy of private sector actors as economic agents. The first major objective of this primacy for private sector actors is the creation of wealth. In turn, however, the Friedmans contend that the "free-market" orientation will lead to economic freedom, and that the system of capitalism will lead ultimately to political freedom. Before political freedom and the economic improvement of all are attained through capitalism, however, the political system likely will become more authoritarian to assure that the capitalist system can become firmly established in the face of extreme economic dislocations and privations for many citizens..."

Black Women and Feminism, 2006.
This paper reviews and discusses the historic oppression of black women as well as the existing gap between white and black women as detailed in Bell Hooks' "Ain't I A Woman? Black Women and Feminism."

Abstract
This paper explores author Bell Hooks' theoretical perspective on blacks and feminism. Hooks claims that the major cause of oppression to black women came from many sources including white women interested in their own personal gain at the expense of black women and the black men interested in keeping them as second class citizens. This paper discusses the exploitation of women during the slave trade as one of the pioneering ways in the continuing devaluation of black women. The writer contends that Hooks' novel contains relevant research and subsequent evidence that clearly details why a gap still exists between black and white women. The writer of this paper stresses Hooks' desire for all women to bond together and for the struggle for equality to end.
From the Paper
"In her research of the exploitation of slaves, Hooks' expertly does not focus on the sexual atrocities committed upon black women. She in fact details the effect brutalizing black women has on the black man, white man, and the white woman. Hooks explores the possibilities of the potential personal gain from dehumanizing black women, some of which include stereotypes/jealousy of the sexuality of a black woman, and "demasculating" the black man (psychological removal of his masculinity) in relation to exploiting 'his' woman. Bell Hooks' research into the hypocrisy of the feminist movement as it relates to white woman is the principal reason why many African American women, myself included, do not want any active participation with the women's movement."

Abstract
It should come as no surprise that single women, whether they are unmarried, divorced, or widowed, live different lives than women who are married. Different, however, does not mean better or worse. Statistics demonstrate that women who are married live a longer average life than women who are not. Women who are married tend to have children earlier and more frequently than women who are not. Women who are married have traditionally held fewer jobs than women who are not. But, these are simply numbers and statistics. There are tangible differences between married and not-married women. It is this very set of differences which prompts this paper.
