Abstract
This paper looks at the social background surrounding the trial. It examines the court ruling and questions whether Andrea Yates was mentally incapable of understanding her actions or whether it was a cold blooded planned killing of her five children. The mental illnesses of depression and schizophrenia are discussed and it is described how Yates suffered from these in the past. This in an opinion paper where the writer feels that a wrong verdict was passed and mental illness was the cause of the killings.

From the Paper
"Recently, Andrea Yates was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. She could have been sentenced to death for her actions. Many in the public feel her husband, Russell Yates, was also guilty. Many feel he should have been able to foresee his wife's intentions to kill his children. Five children are dead, and we as a society need someone to blame. "

Abstract
A look at the two trials of Andrea Yates, and why after being convicted of murdering her five children, the verdict was set aside and in a second trial she was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

From the Paper
The Andrea Yates Case Can any mother who deliberately drowns her children possibly be considered "sane"? Is there any criminal punishment or sentence that can possibly be fair? These are the questions raised in the case of Andrea Yates, a Texas mother who killed her five children. The trial of Andrea Yates for the 2001 murder of her five children in Houston, Texas, raised two highly charged issues: maternal infanticide and the insanity defense. The former issue raised questions about the possibility of maternal violence, while the latter pitted those who held law as timeless and universal against those who believed law was affected

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses active radical feminist Andrea Dworkin. The writer points out that examining her writings as well as the larger context within which Dworkin composed them, reveals much about her attack on pornography, her strange alliance with the political Right, and her views on censorship. The writer further discusses that though passionate, Dworkin possessed beliefs and attitudes that should rightly make any civil libertarian cringe.

From the Paper
"Andrea Dworkin died in 2005. She was an active radical feminist up until the time of her death, though her fervor did dwindle toward the end of her life. Dworkin is best known for her crusade against pornography begun in the 1980s and her body of writing that argue that any sexualization of women is a gender power play that relegates women to a secondary status in society."

Abstract
The paper provides analysis of the role of expert witness testimony in the second trial of Andrea Yates, where she was declared not guilty by reason of insanity. The paper outlines the first trial, and then delves more extensively into the second trial, touching on the trial's contributors but concentrating mainly on forensic expert Michael Welner. The paper discusses Welner's talking points, including his assertion that Andrea was overwhelmed at the burdens of running a household and home-schooling her children, and his interpretation of her lack of emotion at the time of arrest. Welner's testimony was ultimately unconvincing to the jury. Seeking to provoke disgust, he only provoked sympathy for a woman who was criticized by a husband who provided her little assistance in taking care of the house and her five children. The paper concludes that finding Yates not guilty by reason of insanity seemed logical, given the testimony of both the prosecution and the defense's experts, despite Welner's best efforts.

From the Paper
"State of mind is particularly important in Texas murder cases, as Texas law defines insanity as a state of mind, namely if the individual had the ability or the inability to know right from wrong at the moment of the action. "Both the defense and prosecution agreed Yates is mentally ill," but originally the prosecution convinced the jury that she was aware that what she was doing was wrong when she drowned the children (Yates' attorneys won't seek release, 2005, CNN.com). In such instances where mental state is an issue at trial, although Yates, like all American citizens possesses the right to be tried by a jury of her peers, invariably that jury is dependant upon deciding which expert witness appears the most credible, in testifying as to what the defendant's mental procedures were during the time the crime was committed. Expert credibility is equally, if not more important than the credibility of the witness."

Abstract
This paper explains how English poet, Robert Browning, provides an account of the Renaissance painter in his poem "Andrea del Sarto" in order to illustrate the main points of the poem: Andrea's artistic, emotional, and spiritual failures and how he responds to these failures through his self-denial, self- pity, and retreat into a fantasy world of self-inflicted fear.

From the Paper
"Browning shows us that del Sarto chose Lucrezia as a kind of punishment for his lack of moral responsibility (Crowell 160-175). Del Sarto becomes a failure emotional and is passive and allows Lucrezia to seduce him. Del Sarto is subordinate to Lucrezia. However, rather than freeing himself from his boundaries and living a full life of his own, he vicariously experiences her activities. "My face, my moon, my everybody's moon, / Which everybody looks on and calls his, / And, I suppose, is looked on by in turn" (ll. 29-31). Although he paints with perfection, he intentionally uses as his model the common face and body of Lucrezia. He is unable to allow his talents to flourish by pursuing higher goals. By immersing himself in a woman's world and assigning a variety of roles to Lucrezia-Madonna, wife, objet d'art, and temptress, del Sarto mentally creates a complex caricature upon whom he can project his soul's frailities (Collins 142-157). Lucrezia is everything that del Sarto refuses to accept and experience."

Abstract
The paper traces Andrea Jung's career in management and describes how she socialized with the leaders of her industry and then made very wise business decisions. The paper explains her strategies of cutting costs and eliminating management positions in the Avon company. The paper then discusses her decision to take Avon into the Chinese market and to adopt a new vision for Avon as "The Company for Women". The paper asserts that Jung made the changes that Avon needed to be successful and that is the mark of a successful leader.

From the Paper
"Andrea Jung is one of the most powerful female executives in the United States, making a study of her leadership style necessary, not only for women who aspire to executive positions, but for all people who aspire to executive positions. Jung was the child of two highly-educated, first-generation immigrants from China who moved to the United States in order to provide their children with better educational opportunities (Andrea Jung, 2008). Her parents instilled a strong work ethic in her children, which Jung embraced at an early age, earning high marks throughout her early education and going on to graduate with a BA from Princeton University in 1979 (Andrea Jung, 2008). From there, she began a remarkable career in management."

Abstract
According to Andrea Dworkin, self-denigrating social behavior is learned behavior and used by women to survive in a sexist world. In Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, there is no evidence of this type of behavior. In fact, Ma Rainey habitually anticipates outcomes based on her assessment of current situations and her knowledge of race relations. Because of her assertive and secure personality, she is not only prepared but compelled to confront sexism and racism. In addition, learned behavior for this woman does not refer to the early socialization process but to life experience which allows her to take a proactive approach to situations. Ma Rainey is always aware of the possibility of exploitation and knows that she is in a potentially inferior position because of her race and gender.

Abstract
This paper provides strong opinion for the death penalty for Andrea Yates. A detailed background to the trial is presented and discussed. The writer then lays out arguments from both sides of the spectrum - lawyers, journalists and public opinion, as to why the death penalty should or should not have been decreed. The writer then expresses his own personal opinion regarding the trial and the outcome.

From the Paper
"It was on June 20, 2001 that a mother named Andrea Yates killed her five children, which she confessed as an act of insanity. However, a panel of eight women and four men juts took half an hour to decide the fate of Andrea Yates. This was a Texas jury who secured the life of her, on purpose, 40 minutes before sentencing her to life in prison rather than giving her the death penalty (ABCNEWS.com).
However, according to the sentence life imprisonment, she has been made entitled for parole in 40 years. She beseeched not guilty by giving an excuse of insanity to two counts of capital murder in the deaths of her three children: namely; Noah who was seven years old, John, five years and Mary just six months old. However, she was not on trial for the drowning of her other two kids; Luke, three years old and Paul two years (ABCNEWS.com)."
