- 1171: JFK Assination - Conspiracy
- ... became best sellers and played a large role in raising awareness regarding the assassination. As a result people started to inquire more and rumours began that other people or organisations had been involved in Kennedy’s assassination i.e there had been a conspiracy. As people became more and more aware about the events surrounding the assassination, many blamed the Dallas police as being incompetent in handling the whole investigation. They had proven to be extremely unorganised despite the fact that the President had just been murdered. The fact that interviews hadn’t been recorded was one of the reasons why there was so much confusion. Yet the only excuse the Dallas police could come up with was that they couldn’t find a tape recorder! The questions that were asked by the officers proved to worthless and what little records were kept are said to be inadequate. However more seriously, the Dallas police were wildly ...
- 1172: Analysis -- Buffy The Vampire
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a difficult media to classify into one genre. An obvious classification of the programmeˇ¦s genre would be horror; but this isnˇ¦t entirely true, because the show has more concepts and themes that a horror movie would, and deals with more issues as well. The show uses elements contained in the more fantasy-orientated horror movies (such as Dracula): these include mythological beings such as vampires, demons and zombies; things that arenˇ¦t always contained in horror movies. In the episode ˇ§Dead Manˇ¦s Partyˇ¨, the show deals primarily with the undead (a vampire appears near the beginning of the episode, and has very little effect on ...

- 1174: 2nd Admendment Pro-Gun Ownersh
- ... Pot have in common? When they came to power, they took all guns from the civilian population. For this reason my specific goal is to encourage gun ownership. Introduction: The gun 1st appeared in Europe's literature in 1326. It evolved into a mechanical tool as no other tool before it, it incorporated different materials like wood and metal, it also involved physics, chemistry and had ignition. Thus, making the gun ... the federal government in the establishment of a federal religion. So lets use a little common sense, if the federal government can not establish a federal religion. How can it establish gun control? It can't, the 2nd Amendment forbids it, just like the 1st Amendment forbids a federal religion. Let's look at the 2nd Amendment, "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Now lets ...
- 1175: A Marxist Criticism on "The Importance of Being Earnest"
- A Marxist Criticism on "The Importance of Being Earnest" "Excuse me Geoffrey, could you get me some more water. I'm terribly thirsty, and the weather out here isn't doing any good for my complexion." declares the man as he sighs in exhaustion. "Right away sir, anything else?" proclaims the servant. "No that will be all." says the man as he waves off the servant. So is this the scene of yesteryear's society or one of today's, well in actuality it can be either. In today's world the rich still rely on butlers and maids. It seems to be a practice that will always exist in this world, but the ...
- 1176: Treatment And The Sex Offender
- Treatment and The Sex Offender by Brent M. Pergram, Masters of Arts in Sociology The Martinson Report of the early 1970’s, said that rehabilitative efforts or treatment programs in general had failed to reduce recidivism. The Report led those in control of government and the criminal justice system to say that rehabilitation does not work, and therefore focus on deterrence and punishment of offenders. Martinson’s study of 231 treatment studies measured offender improvement in various areas, but recidivism is the issue here. Martinson says “With few and isolated exceptions, the rehabilitative efforts that have been reported so far have had ... may work in a community setting. Martinson said that their was no evidence to believe that intensive supervision of adults would reduce recidivism. But he said that a smaller case load did improve a person’s chances of parole success (p.305). But he says that intensive supervision works not because of the mechanisms of treatment or rehabilitation, but due to the mechanism of deterrence (Ibid). Martinson says that community ...
- 1177: Beloved and Don Quixote: Similarities in Themes and Characters
- ... to be quite a few similarities in themes and characters contained in these texts, the most prevalent of which seems to be of love and language as a path to freedom. We see in Acker's Don Quixote the abortion she must have before she embarks on a quest for true freedom, which is to love. Similarly, in Morrison's Beloved, there is a kind abortion, the killing of Beloved by Sethe, which results in and from the freedom that real love provides. And in both texts, the characters are looking for answers and solutions in these "word- shapes" called language. In Acker's Don Quixote, the abortion with which the novel opens is a precondition for surrendering the "constructed self." For Acker, the woman in position on the abortion table over whom a team of doctors and ...

- 1179: A Doll's House: Nora Perceived by Other Characters
- A Doll's House: Nora Perceived by Other Characters In the Victorian age many woman were thought of as mere objects. Most woman has no real social status and were not allowed to express themselves freely. A Doll's House, a play by Henrik Ibsen, has brought controversy to the conclusion in which Nora leaves her family.

- 1180: Tom Clancy: His Life, His Style, His Books
- ... real, story. It is because of his gripping story lines, and powerful descriptions of battle scenes that have drawn me, along with millions of other Americans to his master works of art. Ironically Mr. Clancy's dream of becoming a writer was not fulfilled until he wrote The Hunt For Red October in 1984. Until then, he was an insurance salesman whose previous stories had been turned down. That is another thing that I like about Mr. Clancy, he doesn't give up. Clancy once said, "In America, there ain't no excuses. You can go out and do anything you damn well please if you try hard enough."2 Finally, this author, was the only one that didn't put me to sleep with ...
