Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of television commentators when delivering news reports. In particular, it notes that commentary by various people during a broadcasted event is largely from a concern on the part of broadcasters that people will get bored if they are left simply to watch and decide on their own. The voices of commentators are used to keep the public tuned to the given station, and the commentary can often be intrusive to any viewer who wants only to see and hear the real situation.

From the Paper
"Television presents a certain image of the world that is often seen as distorted, and this applies even when what is seen is a real event. For one thing, most television presentations include commentary by various people during the event, largely from a concern on the part of broadcasters that people will get bored if they are left simply to watch and decide on their own. The voices of commentators are used to keep the public tuned to the given station, and the commentary can often be intrusive to any viewer who wants only to see and hear the real situation. Certain types of event are common and are recognized by the average viewer as fitting into a specific category, and an ethnographic analysis of the..."

Abstract
The writer relates that one wonders what the Founders would think of the current political discourse in this country. The paper questions if they would appreciate that freedom of expression meant freedom of virtually unlimited expression? The writer discusses rough expression, "over the top" attacks, and political extremism in the media that can be very entertaining, however, the writer argues, it does not serve the cause of good policy creation.

From the Paper
"The United States Constitution, in the First Amendment from the Bill of Rights, enshrines the principle of freedom of expression. The 14th Amendment has been interpreted by the Supreme Court to add a prohibition on state limitation of freedom of expression. The amendments actually prohibit laws against free expression, considering free expression a basis of a free society. A full and open debate over policy was seen as the best way to achieve good policy."

Abstract
This essay is a case brief with additional comments focusing on certain issues in the case, dealing with a particularly gruesome death by starvation and dehydration of a ninety-two year old man who put himself in the care defendants, who systematically hid him while they neglected him while they looted his bank account, and when that was exhausted simply allowed him to starve and die of thirst. The writer discusses that on appeal, their convictions were affirmed.

From the Paper
"Defendants had a contract to provide the deceased, an elderly invalid, with care in their home. Instead, they isolated him in a rural site and deprived him of food and water, causing his death. Charged with murder, they contended that they had no legal duty to care for him. The jury ruled that the defendants had a contract to care for the deceased, and that this imposed on them a legal duty to provide such care, so that the failure to do so amounted to third degree murder. Found guilty, the defendants appealed."

Abstract
Feminism is seen as being in crisis by many commentators. This paper considers if this is a fair assessment of the situation, going on to argue that the crisis is not all it seams, but a reflection of the evolution of the feminist movement and its adoption to mainstream politics.

Abstract
The paper illustrates how Lodovico defines the immorality and cruelty in Othello's behaviors that will eventually end in his tragic death. The paper explains that Lodovico as a marginal character is written into the play by Shakespeare to help the reader realize the gravity of Othello's actions and the inevitable tragedy that surrounds the deceptions of Iago.

From the Paper
"Lodovico's role as moral commentator on Othello's behaviors brings insights into the tragedy of the play, which many of the other characters are too self-involved to perceive. In latter parts of the play, Othello's increasingly violent behaviors are clearly noticed when he strikes Desdemona: "Is this the noble Moor whom our full Senate/Call all in all sufficient?" (IV, i., ll.2712-2713). This increasingly potent sense of volatility on the part of Othello is clearly defined by Lodovico, who can see the immorality of this action against a woman. Shakespeare portrays Lodovico as a moral gauge that allows the audience to realize the effects of Othello's behavior through an external source (Bloom 45)."

Abstract
This paper examines two sides of an arbitration process, considering how the union has determined that one of its members has been assigned to temporary supervisory positions for more days than bargaining allows. The paper then shows how the union sees this as depriving him of his union membership and seniority since management has exceeded the permissible temporary transfer days. The paper then describes the viewpoint of management, which believes that it is economically feasible, in these difficult times, to limit transfers only to those days needed, and those days represent a new beginning of each temporary transfer rather than the union's position that accumulation not calendar days applies.

From the Paper
"It is important to realize that the union in this case covers the workforce at the company, not management. The union believes that supervisors, whether permanently or temporarily assigned, represent management. Therefore, anyone placed in a supervisor's position no longer is an active member of the union. This also means that any such worker loses seniority rights granted by his service while a member of the union. The issue at stake is the cumulative number of days that J. Cochran served as "temporary" supervisor. The contract, as approved by the union and management clearly states that such service is limited to thirty (30)..."

Abstract
The paper is a philosophical discussion about Socrates' belief in the importance of the state over the individual, or individual family interests. The paper comments that Socrates is unwavering in this opinion, to the point that he accepts his own death sentence and does not try to flee. Commenting on this, the paper continues by relating that the conflict between the 'Apology' and the 'Crito', in many minds is that Socrates contradicts himself. He does this by stating in the 'Apology' that if there were a law made that stopped him from practising philosophy he would break it. The paper then goes on to discuss why, in fact, there is no contradiction.

From the Paper
"Through the whole of the Apology Socrates stresses the importance of remaining true to the process of the trial, as the process of the trial is just, as it is a reflection of the power and wisdom of the state, even when applied by unjust men, seeking their own interests. Furthermore, the oaths of the judges are sacred, and should therefore not be swayed with entreaties and persuasive behavior on the part of the accused, as this goes against the nature of the self and the validity of the state. In the Apology Socrates is reported to have said to those who would question why he did not act as other men and defend himself with family and emotional spectacle."

Abstract
This paper discusses racism with relation to the video sharing site, YouTube. It describes the principle and growth of the site. The paper then discusses the fact that the comment boards of popular videos can contain insults, threats, profanity and, to a large and unsettling extent, racism. The paper defines racist comments and then discusses how this phenomenon can occur.

From the Paper
"When a user joins YouTube, he or she must agree to the site's Terms of Service. According to these terms, "You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to user submissions that are inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against YouTube." Though the phrase "may be" might more accurately read "will," this phrase captures both the strength and the potential failings of user-generated content. YouTube provides a freedom that, like all freedoms, is prone to abuse. The proliferation of racism on YouTube is both abhorrent and disheartening, but suggests a need for debate that currently is not or cannot be met by corporate media. While You Tube allows racism to reach a public audience, pushing racist sentiments out in the open simultaneously makes them vulnerable. Critically, the format of YouTube allows these sentiments to be criticized, debated, and ultimately debunked."
