From the Paper
"After Carey's inspiration contributed to the founding of the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792, and after his missionary work in India, Carey helped complete a translation of the NT into Bengali (published 1801). When Fort William College opened in Calcutta, Carey was appointed professor of Sanskrit, Bengali, and Marathi. He also translated the entire Bible into Bengali (1809), as well as translating the entire or part into 24 other dialects and languages. As a skillful linguist, Carey not only translated the Scriptures into Bengali, but also into Kanarese, Marathi, Punjabi, Sanskrit, and Telugu, India's major languages. He also produced dictionaries and grammars for a number of other languages. Some individuals, in fact, perceive Carey to be the father of modem Bengali."

From the Paper
"In November of 1800, while Dr. John Thomas was visiting the Serampore Mission, a man named Krishna Pal broke his arm. Thomas went to fix it and was able to share the gospel with him. Some time later, Krishna Pal ran into him on the street and informed him that he believed in Jesus. Thomas invited him to come home and eat with them. Eating with a foreign family was a sign of breaking caste, it was one of the ways that the Serampore Trio had devised to test a convert to see if their faith was sincere. He joined them and became the first official convert from Carey's work in India. By 1821, fourteen hundred new Christians had been baptized, more than half of them Indians."

Abstract
Studies of human communication often take several approaches. Two such approaches are those by Wilbur Schramm and James Carey. The paper shows that in his book "The Story of Human Communication", Schramm presents a rather broad history of human communication in which primitive communication technologies have led society to the high levels of communication that the world utilizes today. Schramm's model of communication is one in which the history of human communications is quite linear and exemplifies Carey's description of a transmission model of communication. On the other hand, the paper shows that James Carey, in "Communication As Culture", studies communication as a cultural phenomenon; one in which the act of participation in communication is more important than the information communicated. From these two approaches to communication, different communication technologies can be analyzed.
From the Paper
"An important step in the process of developing modern communication technologies was the utilization of "The Newspaper." For Schramm and his transmission model of communication, editors of newspapers prepared the news they felt was relevant and sent that news to the receiver via a channel. This represents a simple transportation model of communication; one in which information moves from one place to another. In this case, the newspaper editor sends the information to an expected audience. He does so for the purpose of control. What information the sender (editor) decides to transmit to the readers impacts them as they are likely to change their opinions and attitudes towards different subjects."

Abstract
This paper discusses the battle over abortion that continues to divide the American public in general and the case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) in particular as it represented a direct challenge to five Pennsylvania laws that attempted to restrict women's access to abortion. The paper also explains how 'stare decisis' can be a useful tool of American jurisprudence.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, the decision in Planned Parenthood v. Carey on the basis of stare decisis avoided injecting the Court any further into the larger political and social debates on the abortion issue. By allowing the prior case as precedent, the justices were, in effect, handing over the entire problem to the legislative branch. In this instance, stare decisis offered a chance to sidestep a contentious choice. Planned Parenthood had wanted the case to be seen as a means of defending the right to an abortion. That right was upheld but only by resort to a previous decision. The court was neither independently affirming the position, nor ruling out other potential challenges. As the Pennsylvania statues were struck down on the spirit of the previous decision, the plurality opinion left open the possibility that other state regulations might be used to limit abortion as long as they did not clearly interfere with the constitutional equal protection clause. The winning side got what it wanted, in part - the continued legality of abortion - but it did not achieve a wider victor in the abortion war. Abortion's opponents were still represented by the dissenting justices. They too, used stare decisis in their opinion, but in a quite opposite fashion, laying open another path to those who might still hope to have abortion removed as a legitimate constitutional right. "

Abstract
This essay compares Charles Dickens? ?Great Expectations? with Peter Carey?s ?Jack Maggs.? The author examines how the portrayal of the convict characters Abel Magwitch and Jack Maggs are compared and contrasted, revealing astonishing similarities between the two characters, despite the different backgrounds of their authors.
From the Paper:
"Peter Carey?s novel, "Jack Maggs", and Charles Dicken?s "Great Expectations" whilst built on the same story line, were written by two authors from different countries and different times. It would therefore not be amiss for a reader to assume that their respective portrayals of a convict, who earns his wealth in New South Wales and sponsors a London street urchin to gentlemanly status, would differ markedly. This assumption, however, is quickly contradicted upon comparison of the two texts. Both Dickens and Carey, despite their different backgrounds, portray their respective convict characters, Able Magwitch and Jack Maggs, with great empathy."

From the Paper
"In this article Carey discusses primarily the outlook for regional airlines in the United States as attractive investment vehicles. One of the shortcomings of the article however is the emphasis on the terrorist attacks of as the cause of the tailspin of the major airlines.

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the novel 'Jack Maggs' by Peter Carey. Specifically, the writer discusses and interprets three major aspects of the novel: crime in the 19th century, class in London in the early 19th century and women and their roles in this place and time. The writer explains that 'Jack Maggs' is a historical novel in the tradition of Charles Dickens. The writer discusses that many critics compare this novel to Dickens' "Great Expectations", with Maggs taking on the Dickens' character of Magwitch. The writer maintains that the story is as much a tale of London and her history as it is a retelling of Dickens' work and even his own life. The writer concludes that 'Jack Maggs' is a compelling book that leaves the reader with a deeper understanding of the inner workings of London in Victorian times.
From the Paper
"Victorian England, the period for this richly detailed novel, was a time of great growth and change in society. The Industrial Revolution, with its machinery and mass production was underway, and British cities were filling up with thousands of people looking for work in the factories. Living conditions for the lower classes were deplorable at best. The London setting of this novel makes that quite clear. It shows London as vibrant and alive, but also dirty, smelly, and incredibly crowded. It was also a city filled with crime, poverty, and desperation.
It is not surprising that author Tobias Oates is obsessed with crime and criminology. He lived in a city where crime was rampant."

Abstract
The paper discusses McWilliams' thesis in "Southern California: An Island on the Land" that California, the golden state of great wealth was built by exploiting individuals who never enjoyed its riches and were often unjustly denied the name or rights of Americans. The paper is of the opinion that McWilliams' book, although first written in 1946, is a strikingly refreshing text to read against more conventional and seemingly balanced histories. The paper explains that McWilliams' passionate history seems to better express the land and why California is still so complex, so racially divided and provokes such passion today.
From the Paper
"Carey McWilliams' title of his history of Southern California, Southern California: An Island on the Land, suggests that Southern California encapsulates a unique culture, as distinct from the rest of the United States, almost like an island nation. Although tied to the land, the colorful constellation of cultures, political personalities, and economic speculation that influenced the region caused it stand apart from the rest of the nation. McWilliams attempts to explain some of the extraordinary developments that occurred during the region's history, even before it became a state."

Abstract
This paper focuses on how overweight women are portrayed in American television, stressing the comical roles in which unattractive women are cast. While thin, attractive women are prevailing with more dominant, powerful roles, overweight female characters are cast in demeaning roles. Given the dominant role allows an attractive woman to address important women's issues, where her overweight counterpart is often cast in roles that confine her to the undesirable stereotype of of the pushy, nosy, nit-picker.
From the Paper
"Over the past few years, actresses have found themselves in greater positions of freedom with regards to the roles open and offered to them. Women are prevailing in television with more dominant, powerful roles and given a chance to address issues that concern the female public. However, it is usually the younger, thin women who get to stretch the limits of society. They get to explore roles of sexual and personal liberation. Thin women are shown as holding high positions in the economic world as well as having the ability to attract many men. For the most part, their older, overweight counterparts are still confined to roles that portray them as intrusive busybodies. When they push these attitudes beyond the normal social expectations, they become the joke of other characters and must then deal with their ridicule. Overweight female characters in sitcoms are demeaned and made fun of by other characters in the show. They are often characterized by overly flamboyant clothes, makeup and personalities, and as a result the other characters show a slight fear of them. These roles are especially prevalent in the evening situational comedies that one might watch."
