"Anita Hill is an academic and a professor in the fields of women's studies, law and social policy. In the 1980s she was a legal associate of Judge Clarence Thomas, in the USA. She and Thomas worked together for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Washington, D.C. Judge Thomas was the chair of the Commission during the years 1982 to 1990, and thus was Hill's superior. From 1982 to 1983, Hill served as assistant to Thomas (Renckly). In the late 1980s, Hill alleged that Thomas had sexually harassed her in the early 1980s, during the time that they had worked together on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (Plummer)."

Abstract
The Red Tent is not theology per se; instead, it is a novel written by an award winning journalist who is an expert on Jewish life and religion. The novel demonstrates a number of the most significant concepts from feminist theology which are discussed by Mandell. The red tent refers to the place where women gathered during their various cycles of birthing, menstruation as well as illness. This paper examines how Diamant's novel is a world of patriarchy where women are chattel or the property of men.

Abstract
The paper discusses how in 1977, beauty queen and Orange Juice spokesperson Anita Bryant began her religious-themed attack against equal rights for gays- which she spread to raciosm, anti-Semitism and her belief that most minorities, according to her Bible, are doomed to hell. The paper relates that she won anti-gay right legislation in Dade county, which stood for some twenty years. The paper then discusses how last year, the Mormon chuirch contributed millions in favor of Prop 8, overturning the California Supreme Court's ruling that same-sex marriage was legal in California. The paper argues that in both instances, it was misguided religious fervor that stirred homophobia.

From the Paper
"Homophobia is nothing new. But, sometimes the efforts go beyond words and slogans and occasional beatings and so-called "gay bashing" that can result in death, such as occurred in Colorado with the severe beating of Matthew Shepard. However, the most insidious forms of homophobia are those in the guise of legislation and "moral crusades." The recent victory of Proposition 8 in California was ostensibly to overturn the California Supreme Courts decision that same sex marriage was legal. In fact, it was a crusade funded in the millions of dollars by the Mormon Church and its parishioners. "(A) spokeswoman for Yes on 8,...""

"Anita O'Day is one of the most important and influential of all jazz singers. Her career began with the big bands of Gene Krupa and Stan Kenton. But she flourished as a solo performer when the bands went out of style. Despite her popularity, especially as an exponent of the Cool style of the late 1950s and early 1960s, O'Day suffered from emotional problems, became addicted to heroin, and nearly died. Following her recovery, however, she rebuilt her career. Though her voice had coarsened slightly, her style had always depended less on the beauty of her voice than on her musicianship. O'Day's immense improvisatory skills, her precise timing, her wonderful sense of rhythm, and her great wit as a performer had not been diminished and she flourished again.

O'Day was born Anita Belle Colson on October 18, 1919 in ..."

Abstract
The following paper compares the way in which Anita Hill and Naomi Munson formulate their arguments in their articles "The Nature of the Beast" (Anita Hill) and "Harassment Blues" (Naomi Munson). The writer argues that neither Hill nor Munson look at society as a whole, since both authors focus on the sexual harassment of women, without mentioning cases where men are the victims. This paper asserts that their approach is based more on the rights of the individual and a pro or anti-feminist stance than on any utilitarian or egalitarian perspective.

From the Paper
"Sexual harassment can be seen on many levels as down to the views of individuals. However, there is also a degree of ethical value involved as what one person may perceive as a bawdy joke, another may take as sexual harassment. To achieve fairness though, society does not just consider the views of individuals, but instead tends to look upon the needs of the whole. This means that for the greater good of society the needs of all are greater than those of a single person and this can be related to utilitarianism. The basis of this doctrine is that the value of any item or service is determined only by its usefulness. In adopting this philosophy a state should pursue actions that will bring about the most benefit to the largest number of citizens. In utilitarianism the greatest benefit is seen as the actions that result in the greatest happiness, which by any interpretation is a controversial view. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the two short stories by Anita Desai, "Winterscape" and "Diamond Dust". The paper examines how in "Winterscape", the oriental culture starts to create a space in an occidental society. It also looks at how in "Diamond Dust" even inside a non-dominant culture, there are ideologies that are also claiming a space of containment. The paper discusses how in both short stories, characters and situations acquire a symbolic meaning and thus they are capable of being associated to phenomena specific of different cultures or of major spheres, such as the Eastern/Western opposition.

From the Paper
"In the process of creation of a certain cultural identity, heterogeneity tends to be replaced by homogeneity. In this way, the image that such identity projects in other cultures is an homogenous and identifiable whole. Western culture has built an stereotyped image of India. We can find an instance of this in Beth and her prejudice against the Hindu sisters in Winterscape. Anita Desai seeks to deconstruct the Hindu cultural identity stereotype that has been built by Western societies. From the localized way of thinking of post modernity, she presents the spatial configuration of India as a conflict between opposing forces. In Diamond Dust, she wants to show that in India the past and the present, the wild and the civilized world are living together."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the protagonists of Anita Loos' "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" and Philip Roth's "Portnoy's Complaint" and focuses on sarcasm, Freudian commentary and the question of whether one or both is liberated. It concludes both Lorelei and Alex are liberated sexually and morally by following their own set of values and ethics.

From the Paper

Abstract
This paper discusses the film, "The Elephant Man," directed by David Lynch. It specifically analyzes the film according to the philosophy of Anita Silvers in her essay "From The Crooked Timber of Humanity, Beautiful Things Can Be Made." The paper describes Silvers' view that the standards of symmetry and wholeness should be rewritten as a standard for human health and discusses how this relates to the themes in "The Elephant Man."

From the Paper
"In her essay, "From The Crooked Timber of Humanity, Beautiful Things Can Be Made," Anita Silvers makes a profound call that the standards of symmetry and wholeness be rewritten as a standard for human health in a way that is sounded like a clarion call throughout the film "The Elephant Man." Merrick's unique plight is not simply tragic, rather his presence elevates the lives of others, and shows the valuable moral contribution that persons with so-called disabilities can make to society. Because of Merrick's unique presence in their lives, the cold medical professionals gain insight into the need to view human subjects and illness in a mode that is not simply mechanical, but humane and compassionate. The concept of how health is understood in moral terms becomes destabilized because of Merrick's overwhelming, instinctive morality, based upon his skillful perception of his situation."

Abstract
This paper discusses the concerns that new teachers experience in the classroom. The paper further examine the beliefs of Anita Woolfolk in relation to this issue, and the elements of educational psychology that may serve to ease the stressors that are apparent in the lives of first year teachers. The paper then examines Woolfolk's suggestions for these individuals, as well as draws conclusions based upon the research.

From the Paper
"As novice teachers enter the profession there is a significant amount of apprehension regarding the experience, and what will occur within the first few years of teaching. Planning, students, the administration, and performance are all relatively high concerns that engross the teacher's thoughts as he or she prepares for the onset of school. Yet, Woolfolk suggests that these ideas are only the beginning notions of new teachers today (Shaughnessy, 2004, p. 1). More than any other concern the issue of being an effective teacher appears to be the most significant factor for new teachers. Questions of whether or not teaching styles will engross student learning, or if the teacher has the capability to utilize the lessons learned in the classroom become a primary issue for new teachers as the first year of school approaches."

From the Paper
"This paper is a study of the history of the awareness and understanding of the issue of sexual harassment as it first came to be defined in a legal case in 1977, as it had progressed when the Clarence Thomas hearings thrust it into public consciousness in 1991, and as the problem has come to be thought about in 1996, when suits against corporate giants such as Mitsubishi and Astra USA have come to routinely define harassment and emphasize the unacceptable nature of such discrimination. Although high-profile cases have arisen within the U.S. Navy (most notably in the Tailhook Convention scandal), in high schools and universities (where the problem can be harassment by a professor or by a fellow student), and in politics (the case of Senator Bob Packwood offers a significant example), this paper will concentrate specifically on the historical development of the..."
