Abstract
The paper argues that modern racist views take the guise of anti-immigration, hard right, national security and conservative beliefs. The paper attempts to show how this new racism takes the form of subtle and indirect formal expressions, such as a denial of societal discrimination rather than the old-fashioned genetic inferiority and segregation. The paper profiles the decline of various neo-nazi groups in the United States but then shows how today, racial minorities lag behind whites in terms of income, wealth, occupational and health status and educational attainment. The paper warns that we are in an age of "logical racism" that shows no sign of slowing down.

From the Paper
"The numbers of American Nazi white nationalists are on the rise, but they prefer we don't use that term. Flying under the guise of anti-immigration, hard right, national security, and conservative flags the modern racist views have become more mainstream and "understandable." The American Nazi's of the past, with their swastikas, shouts of "white power," and ideology of riding the world of minorities, have simply morphed and adapted to their environment like any good species should. While these older groups do still exist, their number and memberships have been on the decline, especially in recent years with the death of major leaders and idols Richard Butler and William Pierce and the arrest of Matt Hale. Instead, the modern racist talks of blocking our boarders to suppress the "increasing crime rate" and our "depleting resources." They talk of racial profiling as a means to "national security.""

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.

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'."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the most controversial of contemporary institutions depicted in "The Canterbury Tales" is marriage. In particular, the paper focuses on the "Franklin's Tale" and looks at how
Chaucer uses this tale to illustrate that the omission of supremacy, due to ideal notions, leads to misfortune, relationship conflicts, and inevitably, dilemmas within one's self.

From the Paper
"The principle concern of Arveragus' and Dorigen's marriage is the abandonment of "maistrie." Maistrie, from which the word mastery is derived, pertains to the superior command or control of another individual. In the eyes of the optimistic newlyweds, there was to be no domination of one another; mutual deference instead of perpetual battle for dominance was the aspired goal. Instead of "soveraynetee," Arveragus and Dorigen were to be guided by the principles of "gentillesse" and "trouthe"."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Aryan Brotherhood, a white supremacist group that believes in the ideology that white people (biologically European/ American in descent) are considered the supreme race, which is similar to Adolf Hitler's, pro-Aryan, anti-Semitic ideologies during the World War II. They originated in California in 1967, particularly at the San Quentin prison and 'hate' any individual who has black skin or is Jewish in religion. It examines how they reinforce these ideologies over people (willing or unwilling) by means of violence, political, social and economic manipulation and how evidence of such violence occurred from killings and riots made during the early establishment of the group in the 1960s, and the prevalent occurrence of crime happened during the 1990s.

From the Paper
"Their primary means of distinguishing their group from the others (apart from their physical appearance, of course) is identification through the Aryan Brotherhood tattoo, since its main origins came from the prison. It was said that any individual who is not a member of this group, and is found the members of AB would immediately subject sporting the said AB tattoo to murder. The Aryan Brotherhood Gang has increased alliance with other white supremacist groups, which includes the Aryan Nations, National Alliance, American Nazi Party, Nazi Low Riders, and Dirty White Boys."

Abstract
Up through the 1970s, teenage resistance to social authority was such a pervasive motif in American fiction that the adolescent struggle for autonomy embodied for many critics the national myth of self-reliance. The paper shows that in contemporary novels, however, youth's disaffected disposition is credited not to the oppressiveness of adult authority but to a lack of it. The voice in both "Catcher in the Rye" and "Less than Zero" is a detached, ironic voice that demonstrates a need for security and for home. The paper shows that by implicitly endorsing an idealized, nostalgic vision of family, these narratives split with the genre's anti-authoritarian tradition and re-script the utilization of adolescent disaffection. Whereas the teenager once intuitively asserted youth's moral supremacy over their elders, today's aimless, amoral kids cry out for adult intervention as they beg entry into the shelters of home. This paper examines the similarities and differences in the discourse of the young in both "Less Than Zero" and "The Catcher in the Rye."

From the Paper
"In the penultimate chapter of Catcher, Holden declines to run away to California in order to spare his younger sister Phoebe from the cynicism and despair he suffers. He does so because he understands that if he lets Phoebe follow him westward he will fail in his dream of protecting her innocence; instead of preventing her terrible fall into adulthood, he will be just as guilty of pushing her over the edge of childhood as the anonymous "pervert" who scrawls profanity on her elementary school walls. Therefore, to save her, Holden must sacrifice his passionate disdain for adult phonies and submit to the indignity of their "asking me if I'm going to apply myself" (213). Through this concluding gesture, Salinger insists that adolescent rebellion is guided by moral intent and is not symptomatic of the narcissism and selfishness so closely associated with this stage of life. The intuitive morality that this plot ascribes to its teen protagonists implies that "if the young demonstrate their inability to accept the code of civilized society, the fault cannot lie in them but in those who have failed to provide acceptable values. By extension, youth's rituals of disaffection are not expressions of antisocial behavior but confirmations that they are engaged in an arduous quest, searching, seeking, grasping, testing in an effort to find the proper moral course in life (265, 269)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Ku Klux Klan's ideology of racial identity, superiority and exclusivity and how it is combined with religious persuasion and motivation. The paper also identifies the Klan's use of sensitive and opportunistic issues in society, such as that of immigration, to incite fear and concern among potential members. The paper specifically looks at the persuasive techniques that have been used by the Klan in the contemporary communications environment. The paper then explores what makes young people susceptible to these ideas.

Outline:
Introduction
Ideology and Myth
Susceptibility and Persuasion

From the Paper
"The Ku Klux Clan is a far right extremist group that often has employed violent tactics and methods to achieve their ends and to propagate their ideology. A more formal description of the Ku Klux Clan is "A secret society organized in the South after the Civil War to reassert white supremacy by means of terrorism. " (US Military Dictionary: Ku Klux Klan)
"The literature on the subject suggests that becoming a member of this organization usually begins at an early age. "Evidence suggests that the route to violent far-right extremism often begins with organizations seeking to recruit young people..." (Learning together to be safe) This often takes the form of the society training the youth in gun use and other activities.
"However, there are certain central and more subtle aspects that need to be noted about the way that the Klan recruits and retains its members. These include aspects such as the ideology and propaganda that is used to maintain the ethos of the organization and to justify its actions. This paper will discuss some of these central aspects and explore the way that they function within the Ku Klux Klan."
