Abstract This paper examines the women's rights movement and focuses on one of the founders, Susan B. Anthony. The paper explains that Anthony was in many ways the mother of the women's rights movement, and though she did not live to see universal suffrage in the United States, her work was crucial to the voice for change, not only in regard to the vote, but also for the view of women in the world.
From the Paper "Susan B. Anthony was foundational member of the women's rights movement. Though the vote was the first of almost all essential changes in the way women were viewed socially and legally the vote was only the beginning. Susan B. Anthony possessed a much broader understanding of the needs of women and the changes that must take place for women to succeed in their own right in this new nation. She embodied the challenges faced by single women and also held great personal knowledge of the lives of her married contemporaries, as the sort of "aunt" to all the women of the movement, due to her remarkable openness she was the ear for many grievances against the reality of women's lives in her culture. English common law and the cannon laws of the church subjugated women almost completely to the will of the father, if unmarried and the will of the husband if married."
Abstract Susan B. Anthony was a famous historical figure who fought hard for human equality. She believed in women's rights, as well as equal rights for African American slaves. This paper shows that, through touring the country to speak publicly, lobbying, petitioning, as well as writing for her newspaper, "The Revolution," Anthony helped to contribute to the passing of the 19th Amendment, as well as give a voice to those who were not being heard. The paper examines her life as a hard-working abolitionist, activist, and reformer whose courage and dedication can be credited for where women and African-Americans stand in today's society.
From the Paper "Susan B. Anthony also fought hard for women's rights to property and equal wages. In New York State she spoke at meetings, collecting signatures for petitions and lobbying the state legislature. Largely due to her efforts, the state of New York passed the Married Women's Property Bill in 1860 which allowed married women to own property, keep their own wages, and have custody of their children. She spoke out against prostitution in Chicago in 1853 stating that women turned to the streets by prostituting for income because they could not receive equal wages in the workplace. She encouraged working women from the printing and sewing trades, who were excluded from men's trade unions, to form Workingwomen's Associations."
Abstract A look at Malay political culture from the perspectives of Anthony Milner. The author investigates the Malay political experiences, traditions and customs and analyzes these from the Milner's point of view that political relationships in Malay are based on leadership and support.
From the Paper "Anthony Milner's central point in his examination of kerajaan is that the key to understanding political motivation must involve an understanding of differing political experience. European observers often saw political relationships in Malay societies as being based on accumulation and distribution of wealth, whereas to Milner the process had a deeper political motivation; to gain supporters."

Abstract This paper examines Anthony Lewis' "Gideon's Trumpet", which evaluates the Supreme Court case of Clarence Earl Gideon. Gideon was tried and convicted in the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida but maintained, under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, that he was entitled to counsel by the state because he couldn't afford his own. The author points out that the case on which the Supreme Court based its ruling was 'Betts v. Brady', and that it rejected the contention that due process under the Fourteenth Amendment provided a flat guarantee of counsel in state criminal trials. The paper relates that the rule of the case is simply that a person charged with a crime anywhere in the United States has the right to counsel, a right deemed fundamental and essential to any fair trial (Sixth Amendment), and, when the person cannot afford one, the state is obligated to provide one under the Fourteenth Amendment due process clause.
From the Paper "Ever since 'Betts' in 1942, the court struggled to apply the "special circumstances" aspect of the rule, and the legal problems inherent in the 'Betts' decision were all too evident. Professional comments on the 'Betts' decision, as maintained in law reviews following the decision, had at first been critical, and several Justices within the Supreme Court were already leaning towards its overruling. In fact, between the 'Betts' decision and the time Gideon wrote his letter, the Supreme Court held in favor of every state prisoner whose counsel claim it agreed to hear."
Abstract This paper discusses sociologist, Anthony Giddens. It provides a brief background of Giddens' life and then explains some key theories of sociology, as described by Giddens, particularly his structuration theory. The paper then uses these theories to explain modern social situations, such as globalization. Finally, the paper provides criticisms of some Giddens' theories.
From the Paper "Giddens can best be described as cool, classical because of the way he mixes old-school theories with present day changes that occur in our modern society. He does not at all fit into the category of older, white, conservative men because the way he thinks and his teaching style. Throughout this paper I will give you some background on Giddens, explain some key theories as described by Giddens, use them to explain a current social situation, and provide criticisms of some his theories."
Abstract This paper explains that Justice Anthony McLeod Kennedy's intricate role on the Rehnquist Supreme Court has led many to question his views and ideals. The author points out that, although he usually votes with the conservative bloc, in certain cases involving abortion, capital punishment, and gay rights, he has voted liberal. The paper relates that, through his lawyer-legislator father, Kennedy, who was born in 1936 in California, met many influential figures such as future Chief Justice Earl Warren. The author explains that, while on the Circuit Court, Kennedy became a leader of the conservatives avoiding writing controversial opinions, which allowed his Supreme Court confirmation hearings to be considered amicable. The paper relates that Justice Kennedy's work on the Supreme Court demonstrates consistently his beliefs that the court should not be legislative. The paper describes many of Kennedy's cases.
From the Paper "The 2000 case of Stenberg, Attorney General of Nebraska, et al v. Carhart returned Justice Kennedy to the conservative end of the Court. This case mirrored back to Planned Parenthood v. Casey, stating that the Nebraska state government cannot illegalize partial birth abortion because this will impede on the undue burden privilege established four years earlier. Justice Kennedy dissented Justice Breyer's Opinion of the Court. He believed that Planned Parenthood allowed the for state to protect the life of the child to a certain extent. The Nebraska law was struck down, but by 2003 the federal government had adopted a law prohibiting partial birth abortions ("Stenberg v. Carhart")."
Abstract The paper examines both "Othello" and "Anthony and Cleopatra" and shows how there are relationships of love and death that are consistently connected to one another. The paper discusses the characters' passion for honor at all costs that leads to war and thus creates a strong connection between love and death.
From the Paper "In both Othello and Antony and Cleopatra there are relationships of love that are questioned in their correctness by society (Bevington 1118). Moor and innocent, servant and queen, the plays provide the foundation for love that is destined for tragedy. Yet, in the eyes of the characters of these plays love and death are consistently connected to one another. Love is he desired state of the heart in both loving another and being loved in return. Both leading couples struggle through much social rejection to accomplish this desire. However, with love comes the understanding that in order to prove love death is inevitable, making love and death linked by nature."
Abstract Anthony Giddens is a British sociologist and is considered to be one of the most prominent figures in the field of sociology. The author of the paper examines Giddens' view that we have not entered into a so-called post-modern era but that we are still in the late stages of modernism. The paper's author explains Giddens' viewpoint that we are in an era that is not entirely new in terms of thought and reality, as some advocates of postmodern theory would suggest. Rather, in the view of Giddens we are experiencing the ideological, theoretical and experiential aspects that mainly characterize modernism. The paper's author examines in detail Giddens' ideas and theories on this subject.
From the Paper "In conclusion all of these various ascots should be seen in terms of late-modernist period and the movement away from the risk-free stability of traditional societies. Giddens sees the new revolutionary developments in communications as the driving force behind globalization and stresses the way that society has changed and is changing in terms of the interaction between the individual and society. In this regard, globalization is also affecting aspects such as identity and intimacy in society. The aspect of risk is allied to this process in that new technologies are exploring uncertain areas in the further development of future - orientated late-modernist society"
Abstract This paper explains that, in Anthony Burgess' novel "A Clockwork Orange", the protagonist "criminal" Alex is portrayed as a victim of British colonization or having to live the right way. The paper relates the purely nonsensical colonization process by which puritanical Britain believes that it can save a criminal or a nation from savagery and turn them into humans. The paper argues that, in the novel as in real life, the British government fails because identity cannot come from colonizing or the Ludovico's technique but rather from growing up and being able to see youth as something other than a piece of clockwork.
From the Paper "After the treatment, Alex becomes the epitome of what it means to be colonized. With no identity of his own and a confusion of being pulled between the desire to return to how he once was, but unable to break the physical inability is not uncommon to colonies who have completed their treatment. Wanting to move away from the British culture and become sovereign, there is still a physical barrier and the British culture being only they really know. Everything becomes "committed to socially acceptable acts, a little machine capable only of good." "
