Abstract
This paper covers the different issues in the abortion debate. It covers both sides- pro-choice and pro-life. Although a conclusion is not made, the closing statement reads similar to the beginning. The issues surrounding abortion seem to be questions that must be answered by each individual searching his or her own heart and soul.
From the Paper
"Abortion has been, and probably always will be, a very controversial subject among people of all ages. There are many aspects of the controversy: morality, legality, and safety. Many people ask whether abortion is moral; they question whether it is right or wrong. Others ask whether a woman should be permitted by law to have an abortion and, if so, under what circumstances. There are two sides that directly oppose each other. People who are against abortion label themselves as being "pro-life." Those who are for women's choice concerning abortion are described as being "pro-choice." Safety is another area of controversy. Many question the hazards involved with abortion- emotional and physical. With these three issues, the abortion controversy continues."

Abstract
The paper focuses on the evolution of punk and its mutation into the more politically charged anarcho-punk movement and explores the violent side of the extreme left - both as an international force and in particular in Switzerland. The paper then discusses the Bern-based Antifa Switzerland group and explores the motivations of the Black Bloc anarchists. The paper highlights the use of violence in the anti-fascist movement and the connection between today's violent anarcho-punks with the ideals of the original punk movement. Several photographs are included with the paper.

Punk's First Wave
Punk Arrives in Switzerland
Switzerland, Anarcho-Punk, and Post-war Politics in the 21st Century
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The media, however, interpreted the punks' image, music, and reckless behavior as a real threat to the status quo. This culminated in December of 1976 when the Sex Pistols and members of the Bromley Contingent appeared on the Bill Grundy television show in England. At the time of this momentous event, punk was still in its early stages. The public-at-large had little way of knowing about punk at the time. What they saw was a group of extravagantly dressed young people, visibly intoxicated, who took relish in using offensive words and insulting the host of the program in a manner that went way beyond the accepted morals of the time. The Bill Grundy episode would spiral the fledgling youth subculture into the wider cultural spotlight. At that point, punk was no longer a tiny subculture, but a mass media spectacle that would shock the conservative British public and inspire similar-minded youth all over the world."

Abstract
The paper critically discusses Anti-Individualism and then presents an argument against this epistomology. The paper explains that Anti-Individualism is based on a series of assumptions about the nature of learning and the learner including a relationship between the learner and the material being learned. The paper relates that it supposes at least 2 "orders" of learning including perceptual and self-knowledge.
From the Paper
"Anti-Individualism is philosophy of knowledge that focuses on the nature of knowledge and the relationship between that knowledge and the learner. As described by Tyler Burge, Anti-Individualism emphasizes "basic self-knowledge" or knowledge, which is "self-verifying in an obvious way" (Burge 649). According to Burge there is a distinction between "knowledge of one's thoughts" and the "individuation of one's thoughts" (Burge, 650). Since an individual's thoughts about a physical object are dependent upon that person's relationship with that object this would mean that a person's..."

Abstract
This paper discusses colonialism and anti-colonial nationalism in India and describes some of the features and processes inherent therein.
From the Paper
"Colonialism and anti-colonial nationalism in India were the result of historical processes that pre-existed. Prior to colonialism Indiafound itself in a state of anarchy, lawlessness and arbitrary despotism, which as Chatterjee points out was a central element in the ideological justification of British colonial rule. The British, from their Western perspective, deemed Indian social customs degenerate and barbaric, a view that prompted them to undertake colonialism as a civilizing mission. (Chatterjee) Abhorring the long list of atrocities perpetrated on Indian..."

Abstract
This paper contends that the skyrocketing number of prescriptions for anti-depressants recently has caused some to worry that patients, such as rape victims, who could benefit from the addition of medication in their recovery, might not be able to get the much-needed medicine.
From the Paper
"The recent FDA decision regarding SSRI's (Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors) has caused the medical community to scale down anti-depressant prescriptions in recent months. This project in intended to shed light on the growing problem of over-prescribing anti-depressants and the effects that ultimately could prevent rape survivors from receiving the much needed medications they need for recovery."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of an anti-smoking ad, examining the ad's visual impact and the larger meaning behind it.
From the Paper
"In the anti-smoking ad, an old woman appearing to be in her eighties is lighting a cigarette from the flame on her birthday cake candles which say ... and the caption says "Smoking Causes Premature Ageing". These candles are burning down, hinting that the woman's years of life are ebbing away quickly. Although the cake has the words 'Happy Birthday' written on it, in icing these words are largely obscured by the prominent candles indicating that age is trumping the happy in 'Happy Birthday'."

From the Paper
"In the near future, we will have to face the fact that the course of science will always win and inevitability cloning of human or at least the cloning of organs will be performed. The question is "is cloning human beings acceptable and where do we draw the line?" Cloning has sparked controversies over the past few years. With the race to map the DNA and its completion, it has steered up the imagination of our society of what to come. In this paper, we will discus how the mass media has influenced our views and values associated with a human life and the possibility of it being cloned. We will also look at the religious point of view as well as the science on this issue. We will take a quick look on how cloning has and will affect society along with what it is to be human. This technology is still new and a lot the following will be opinions, ideas and reflections on this issue. One must take them into consideration. If one simply jumps to a conclusion, then one is fool hearted and naive since it is still too early to make such a decision whether it is permissible to clone to clone human beings. There is simply no right or wrong answer, just a matter of moral, ethics and what you believe in. For decades, cloning has been a novelty of science fiction movies but with the resent development in biotechnology and the arrival of Dolly the cloned sheep, the possibility of cloning a human being came ever so close to reality."

Abstract
This paper examines the individual arguments put forth by those opposed to abortion and counters each of these arguments by pointing out the lack of rationale in the moral arguments of the anti-abortionists, as well as the erroneous nature of their constitutional arguments.
From the Paper
"The debate over abortion has continued since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision of 30 years ago that made abortion legal in the U.S. Each side, pro-life and pro-choice, believes it has the definitive argument regarding the issue. Whether one side or the other has the moral high ground, however, one thing is certain; women had been having abortions for centuries before Roe v. Wade. Before Roe v. Wade, the human toll was immense: "It is estimated that before 1973, 1.2 million women resorted to illegal abortion yearly and that botched illegal abortions caused as many as 5,000 deaths a year" according to National Abortion Rights Action League statistics (Quoted by Feminist.org Web site)."

Abstract
"This paper explains that the story of Mary Rogers, as told in Amy Gilman Srebnick's "The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers", which occurred in the summer of 1841, still lies tangled in mystery because the true cause of her death was never officially discovered. The author points out that her death aided anti-abortionists in making abortion legal in New York State. The paper concludes that her death helped lead eventually to police and criminal court reforms and raised many social issues, which changed the face of New York during this period."
From the Paper
"The last but certainly not the least issue raised by Mary Roger's death was that of the police force. At that time, the police was geared more towards the prevention of crime and not so much solving murders. The fact that no one was ever prosecuted for the death of Mary Rogers led the public to realize the problems with the police force. People criticized the police for only solving crimes for which rewards were offered, and not caring for anything else. This added to the raging political controversy over police reform and the reformation of urban policies and practices. Despite controversy and belief of imminent social decay, violent murders were relatively uncommon in New York during that period."

Abstract
This paper looks at how, as years go by, the debate over the ethics and morality of abortion rages on. There are those against it and those for it if certain circumstances apply. It attempts to answer the question of when abortion is morally acceptable or whether it should be considered immoral all the time. It puts forward the author's view that abortion is morally acceptable only in circumstances where the woman was raped or her health is at risk, whether it be her life or her fertility.
From the Paper
"In the case of rape, anti-abortionists argue that it is wrong to have an abortion as well. They use the right to life argument again and state that a fetus has just as much right to life as the woman does and it would be unfair to consider the woman more of a person than the fetus, considering a person's right to life is protected by the constitution. I will grant them the fact that a fetus is a person and I will still prove their argument to be weak. Regarding rape, a woman didn't ask to be violated and raped. Abortion is not wrong here because she did not give the fetus consent to use her body. This abortion should not be considered unjust because it initially violated the woman's rights and should not have happened in the first place."
