"The Modern Language Association was begun in 1883 as a form of collaboration for those in the scholarly arena (Modern Language Association 2004). The standards for the citation of resources in scholarly writings was the outcome of such an effort to create a standard and formal method of giving credit to the authors whose work is utilized in an academic manner. Currently, the sixth edition is available. Most usage of MLA is found in the liberal arts and humanities (Stolley 2006). "

Abstract
The complete citation from the included text was not given and therefore could not be included in a bibliography - there is not even an author on this. The paper is a commentary on racism that people do not always think about. The author provides an argument about using cultural icons for purposes other than they were intended. The arguments are quite sound and inspire contemplation.

From the Paper
"Who's Doin' the Twist?" In "Who's Doin' the Twist? Notes Toward a Politicos of Appropriation", the author is clearly a woman of color that is expressing her take on racism, cultural icons, and progressiveness. She begins by explaining the contradictions that she sees in Europe amongst Whites when it comes to acceptance of Muslims and African cultures. In addition, she proclaims that there is a specific type of intolerance for Muslims but this is not a main focus of the writing. These people seem to believe, in her eyes, that women are always repressed and treated harshly. She begs to differ with this assumption and describes types of feminism in both European and her

Abstract
This paper focuses on student plagiarism, which is becoming increasingly rampant in universities. It first defines different forms of plagiarism and how these forms vary by degrees. The paper then looks at the different reasons why students resort to plagiarism. It then discusses proper citation and how students could avoid committing plagiarism in the first place. In the conclusion, this paper argues that given its capacity for individual and social harm, universities and colleges should take stronger stands in curbing this behavior in school.

From the Paper
"Though most universities enforce their own plagiarism policies, these policies often have important characteristics in common. Plagiarism policies include cheating on examinations and falsifying information for any written or presented work. Plagiarism could also include turning in a paper that was partially or completely written by another person. Any alterations in academic or clinical records could also be viewed as plagiarism."

Abstract
The paper contends that the American public's desire to exact retribution from criminals has resulted in ineffective policy, poor implementation, severe overcrowding in prisons and a whopping price tag. The paper discusses three main problems in the U.S. penal system; harsh sentencing, substandard prison conditions and corporate corruption. The paper asserts that a comprehensive change in the approach to sentencing and drug policy may be needed. The paper shows the benefits of restorative justice and strongly maintains that although alternative programs may be more expensive than tossing a prisoner into a crowded cell for twenty years, they are definitely worth it. The paper uses in-text MLA style citation and does not append a bibliography.

From the Paper
"In the United States, the "tough on crime" approach that has been guiding criminal justice policy since the 1970s has lead to a penal system that not only fails the "13.5 million adults who pass through them each year," (1 - www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/10/ar2006061000719.html) but also the American public. This punitive approach has involved: the hiring of more police; the construction of more prisons; and, longer prison terms for a wide variety of crimes, many of which are non-violent or drug-related. Since the media furor over Willie Horton during the 1988 Presidential election, the "tough on crime" approach has only gotten tougher. The result: the highest incarceration level in the world."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that with rising fuel prices and terrorism as a backdrop, many of the world's major commercial airlines have filed bankruptcy, blaming the additional costs of fuel and security measures for their demise. The writer notes however, that this is not the case with every airline, which leads to interesting subject matter to validate an issue position. In this paper, the researcher validates the issue position that the economic collapse of many major airlines has not been caused by fuel and security, but rather by flaws in the typical commercial aviation business model. This position is justified by the citation of relevant literature and logical conclusions drawn from the research of same. The writer concludes that the aviation industry needs to continually strive for excellence if it is to avoid its own self-fulfilling prophecy.

From the Paper
"The commercial aviation industry is chock full of an inordinate number of bankruptcies, with hundreds occurring over the past several decades. These events had been blamed on a wide variety of factors over the years. Over the last 6 months, there has been another rash of bankruptcies, which are currently being blamed on the excess costs of the security measures needed to protect commercial flights from terrorist infiltration and the rising cost of fuel, with sources reporting that the industry can only realistically pass 10% of the additional expenses on to the consumer for a variety of reasons."

Abstract
The paper discusses the case of "Solesbee versus Balkcom", which highlighted whether a Georgia State Code that permits the governor to determine whether a convict has become insane after his or her conviction and sentence, violates the U.S. Constitution. The paper notes that the Georgia Code Sections 27-2602, provides the governor with the authority to appoint medical doctors to examine a convict and make a declaration of sanity or otherwise. The paper records that Solesbee had been convicted of murder and sentenced to death. The paper notes that application was made to the governor for a postponement of this execution on the grounds that since his conviction he had become insane. This paper investigates the background of the case, procedural history of "Solesbee versus Balkcom" summation of the case, the high Court's decision, their rationale of their decision, and personal notes on the Solesbee case.

From the Paper
"The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the due process clause merely prevents a conviction and sentence without providing for a particular process to run its course. Taken at its highest it merely prevents the execution of an insane person and by doing so does not prevent any State implementing a policy for determining whether or not the person who is sentenced is sane or not. The determination of such a question is entirely discretionary and invokes medical rather than legal questions. The discretion afforded the governor, who must consult with medical doctors, cannot be said to give rise to a contravention of the due process clause contained in the Fourteenths Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Abstract
In William Burroughs' classic work, "Junky", Burroughs writes "As this relaxing wave spread through my tissue, I experienced a strong feeling of fear. I had the feeling that some horrible image was just beyond the field of vision, moving, as I turned my head, so that I never quite saw it. ... The physical impact of the fear of death; the shutting off of breath; the stopping of blood." This paper examines this particular citation in respect to its purpose as a small unifying vision of the main theme of the novel and as to whether the visions perceived by Burroughs are symbols of truth or simply "junk". This paper takes the position that the use of heroin can be equated to life itself.

Abstract
The paper explains that Lucille Ball, once regarded as one of the 'B-grade' cine-star, found the new medium of television as the true opportunity to exhibit her expertise of physical comedy. The author points out that "I Love Lucy" was considered unique in that it was one of the first television programs to use live film, utilizing a multiple camera technique before a studio audience and creating a permanency that allowed Ball and her husband, Desi Arnaz, to benefit from re-runs syndication and foreign distribution. The paper relates that Lucille Ball attained four Emmy Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Citation from Kennedy Center and a Presidential Medal of Freedom. She became the first actress to be incorporated into the Hall of Fame of the Television Academy.

From the Paper
"Ball could search out the key to success of televisions and generated a character that the Americans found indispensable. While 'The Lucy Show' was telecasted, Ball was engaged in reformulating the show and starring in yet another series concentrating on the same character. "Here's Lucy" was immediately approved by the networks and became prime time telecast up to 1974. At this moment, Ball found it worthwhile to divert and began performing outside lines of comedy. She was rewarded with enthusiastic reviews for her acting on Broadway in 'Wildcat' of 1961s. With continuance of the success, Ball co-starred Bob Hope for two feature films and acted with Henry Fonda in the critically acclaimed "Yours, Mine and Ours". Thus, the accomplishments of Ball include more than seventy films, hundreds of television appearances and the struggle of running a studio that could succeed in producing major television series like "Mission: Impossible" and "Star Trek", depicting her true understanding of the potentialities of television even prior to the understanding of itself."

Abstract
The work contains an analytical description of the sonnets of William Shakespeare- including substantive breakdown of content, subject matter and historical influences. It includes actual citation of various key lines in the poems.

From the Paper
"The sonnets of Shakespeare, commonly mistaken as odes of love to a young woman, can be divided into three main sections, all of which contain the contextual message of love, praise, and advice to a beautiful young man and his journey into his older years. The introduction (1-17) speaks of the beauty of the young man; he is so good looking, so worthy, that he must procreate to sustain such a superior lineage. It can be said that this fair young lad "grows up" in sonnets 18 to 125, wherein the author boasts that the man will live eternally in these words. Though not actually considered a story in the linear fashion, the Sonnets weave an intricate pattern of repetition and contradiction that suggests the beauty of life and the pratfalls than invariably must be met."
