This paper examines the topic of situational discrimination, which has come to the forefront post September 11, as well as a case study on this particular subject.
Abstract This paper presents the case study of Nadia Bara, a Middle Eastern Muslim high school student residing in the U.S. This case study was conducted during the post-9/11 period, at a time when America was at war against a particular religious faction - Middle Eastern Muslims. This paper discusses the situational discrimination faced by Bara in school and in her community after September 11, when most Americans viewed Muslims as the enemy. The writer contends that the results of this case study proved that individuals like Nadia and other Muslims have been the victims of a cultural racism and subversive bigotry that can be directly linked to several factors including the media and the film industry. The writer also details why situational discrimination continues to be so commonplace in America.

From the Paper "America has long practiced situational discrimination. "The Gulf War intensified anti-Arab hostility in the United States. Before the invasion of Kuwait in 1990, ADC had recorded five anti-Arab hate crimes for the year. Immediately after the invasion, from August 2 1990 until February 2, 1991, ADC recorded 86 incidents." When Americans come under fire, they often turn to racial profiling, discrimination and isolationism as solutions for security and to resolve inherent fears. Ironically, as the case shows, Nadia never really felt different as much as she did after the terrorist attacks. But others have gone through this before. Consider the Japanese Americans, German and Italian American during WWII. Each of these groups or cultures was ostracized by former friends and neighbors. "After a few days, Sugo Ikeda saw clear similarities between Tuesday's terrorist attacks and the aftermath of Pearl Harbor nearly 60 years ago."

Abstract This paper examines the movies based on Bram Stoker's classic novel, "Dracula". It looks at films such as Max Schreck's "Count Orloff" (1922), Lugosi's "Dracula" (1931), and Christopher Lee's unforgettable performances with Hammer Studios during the 50s and 60s. The paper examines male and female actors in several of the movies.
From the Paper "F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922), presents a great challenge to male sexual authority. In this first film adaption of Bram Stoker's Dracula, the vampire Orlock (Max Schreck) illustrates an inhuman sexuality which is both repellent and powerfully seductive. Stevenson's conclusion that "the ironic thing about vampire sexuality is that for all its overt peculiarity, it is in many ways like human sexuality" (142), seems applicable considering that although Orlock's sexual presence is radically different from that of the young real estate agent Hutter (Gustav van Wangenheim), their sexual desires are both directed by their wish to possess Ellen (Greta Schroeder), Hutter as a husband, Orlock as a lover, but both as a master."
Abstract The paper discusses corporate culture and argues in this assignment that the corporations are taking over. The work of Ayn Rand is used as the positive argument. The work of Joel Bara is used as the negative argument.
From the Paper Corporations: Friend or Foe? The nature of corporations has always been very controversial. Some thinkers and researchers believe that corporations are instruments of progress that have and continue to make human life better. Other thinkers and researchers believe that corporations have become independent entities that are enslaving human beings. This essay will explore both positions. It will look at "The Anti-Industrial Revolution" by Ayn Rand. Rand provides the essential pro-technology, 'pro-progress", pro-industrialization, pro-capitalism and pro-corporate argument for this essay. The primary counter argument is provided by Joel Bakan in "The Corporate Rise to Dominance".
