Abstract This paper explains the equation that caused the explosion of the 1960s was a simple one. "Consumerism + cold war + denial = conformity". The paper gives details about two leaders of the 1960s movement for change, Abbie Hoffman and Janis Joplin, each of whom contributed to the social protest mindset of the 1960s in a different way and became symbols of importance to the counterculture. The paper states that, if it were not for the 1960s, blacks might still be forced to the back of the bus, women would still be expected to stay home and not have career ambitions, and Viet Nam might still be going on.

Conclusion
From the Paper "The social protests began at various stages. The south had them erupting because of the segregation that was still an accepted practice in that area. Other parts of the nation had them because of the Viet Nam conflict and all that it represented by way of government lies and the loss of innocent lives. Innocence was destroyed during this era, as the younger generation pulled back the curtain of the Wizard and saw that it was only a man dressed as the American government. Once the untruths became evident, the grass root movement to change the nation took hold and social protest became a way of life for the American people."
This paper explains that stereotactic breast biopsy are an alternative to wire localized biopsy for mammographic abnormalities, which cannot be felt with the hands.
Abstract This paper explains that there are two types of procedures: Mammotome and Advanced Breast Biopsy Instrumentation (ABBI). The author points out that the advantage of the Mammotome procedure is that there is virtually no scar. The paper suggests that the ABBI procedure can provide a more accurate diagnosis and also help to indicate if the entire suspicious area needs to be removed.
From the Paper "Breast cancer, a very common disease and is the most common type of cancer in women, although it is not unheard of for a man to have breast cancer. About one women in eight (12 percent of all women) will develop breast cancer at some time in her life. Approximately 50,000 women die from breast cancer every year. Early detection is an important factor in the successful treatment of breast cancer. Utilizing monthly self breast exams, periodic professional exams, and mammography breast cancer can usually be detected early. With early detection, breast cancer can be treated more effectively and patient outcomes improve. Mammograms are an essential part of this screening process. "
Abstract This paper describes that Abby has recurring nightmares that wake her during the night; she doesn't know what the dreams means or even where she is while in the dream. The author states that Abby can't remember her dad, and the worst thing about the situation is that she can't ask her family about him because they won't tell her anything. The paper relates that she was going to write about her Aunt Marty, a columnist for the "New York Times" and the coolest person in the world; but she discoverers from Marty the circumstance of her father's death--and now--he is her real hero.
From the Paper "In the kitchen, she pours herself a bowl of coco puffs, and turns on the T.V. So she doesn't feel alone. Even over the drown of the T.V, she can sense someone creeping in the shadows. Still slightly shaken from her dream, Abby holds up her spoon as a weapon. The shadowy figure emerges from the darkness in wrinkled pajama bottoms and ruffled hair. It is only Jason, her older brother."
Abstract This paper looks at Eugene O?Neil's classic drama, "Desire Under the Elms" and allusions that are made to the Bible. The author pays close attention to the significance of Ephraim Cabot's name and his connection to the land, the similarities between Jacob and Eben in their attempt to secure their birthright, and a perversion of the Adam/Eve account in the relationship between Eben and Abbie.
From the Paper "While most critics will attribute O"Neil"s? styling to that of Greek tragedy, I feel that in many cases we can see that it goes back much further. Although he never professed a need for a "god" within his life, it is quite obvious that he often times chose to draw upon many of the tragedies found within the pages of the Bible for his inspiration. His repeated consideration of godlike figureheads was perhaps a means by which he attempted to come to a better understanding of the plague of the human condition. O?Neil once said, ?Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.? Since his life was for the most part devoid of peace, much of his writing ended up being somewhat cathartic in nature. It is no surprise then that the Bible, which has always addressed the age old questions and concerns of man, figures so highly in much of his work."

This paper discusses Julia Alvarez's article "A White Woman of Color" and Abby L. Ferber's article "What White Supremacists Taught a Jewish Scholar about Identity".
Abstract The paper examines the articles "A White Woman of Color" by Julia Alvarez and "What White Supremacists Taught a Jewish Scholar about Identity" by Abby L. Ferber who discuss their experiences related to race, culture and color. The paper describes the cultural difference and clashes and the discriminatory or racial behaviors that are the result of social practices. The paper looks at Alvarez in relation to her American society and her Dominican community and Ferber with her Jewish origin and the White supremacist views.
From the Paper "The issue of race and color has been an important aspect in the history of the United States and in general of the world. This was and still is one of the toughest hurdles to overcome in terms of the complete emancipation of the society. However, this is yet to be fully attained. Although this equality at the level of the society is indeed a lofty goal, there are various aspects which relate to the history and culture of a certain people that make this task to be practically impossible."
Abstract The paper examines abolitionism which was a key issue in electoral politics during the thirty years that lead to the Civil War. It shows that most historians use the term abolitionism to refer to antislavery activism between the early 1830s, when William Lloyd Garrison began publishing "The Liberator", and the Civil War. It discusses too, the difference between abolitionism, a morally grounded and adamant social reform movement, from political antislavery"represented, for example, by the Free Soil or Republican parties"which promoted more restricted political solutions, such as keeping slavery out of the Western territories, and was more open to conciliation.
From the Paper "Abolitionism was never a independent or singular movement. It included a bewildering collection of national, state, and local organizations, opposing policies, and clashing personalities. Abolitionists are commonly depicted as benevolent white people deeply concerned with the well-being of enslaved blacks, symbolized by such activists as Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852). In fact, a great number of abolitionists, including Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth, were African American. Free blacks in the North were stalwart in their commitment to the cause and provided a uneven share of the movement's financial funding."
