Abstract
This paper explains that, from the pages of the foreword, Philip Roth in his "Portnoy's Complaint" announces the presence of psychoanalysis in his novel as a DSM-esque nonsense diagnosis is given for Portnoy's sexual compulsions, highlighting the painful internal conflict between Portnoy's "perverse" desires and his crushing guilt. Next, the author relates the details Portnoy's life of sexual fixation, the conflicts between id, ego and superego, an Oedipal complex, oral, anal and genital stage development, penis envy, sex as aggression, obsessions and compulsions, impotence, fetishes that results in a depiction of a blatantly misogynistic protagonist. The paper concludes that, while Portnoy's Jewish upbringing may have led to his neurotic behavior, it was his psychoanalysis that added the dangerous dimension of non-culpability, which worsen his psychological problems.

From the Paper
"Alex's characterization of his father is as a long-suffering man who struggles with a demeaning job, lack of education, an overbearing wife, an obstinate son, and of course, debilitating constipation. From his father, Alex feels a responsibility to improve his own life. He also feels a self-motivated responsibility to alleviate Jack's ignorance. "In my liberation would be his--from ignorance, from exploitation, from anonymity. To this day our destinies remain scrambled together in my imagination." Alex's self-loathing is conflated with his loathing of his father, a classic Freudian model, especially when accompanied by his aforementioned subconscious desire for his mother. The one thing that Alex envies about his father is his large penis . He connects this in the same breath with a story about his mother's seeming disapproval of the size of his penis, "a little fingertip of a prick," (50) a disparity which only fuels his Oedipal rivalry with his father. Alex associates manliness with gentile men and feels ashamed of his father's "un-American" behavior. So begins Alex's obsessive coveting of all things American, of his desire to be "more of a man", specifically more of an American man, than his father.
"Alex begins to seriously date shiksas in college primarily as a novelty, in his own words."

Abstract
This paper examines how there are many similarities between the two novels: Philip Roth's "Portnoy's Complaint" and Dorothy Parker's "Mr Durant". It looks at how not only are they are about self-obsessed men who treat women badly and who seem to choose women who are inferior to themselves, but also how they are very preoccupied with how others think of them. It analyzes how both offer an indictment of the American male's values and debates whether they can be considered typical stereotypes of the American male.

From the Paper
"He is not only preoccupied with his image, but also with younger girls. There is of course Rose, who could be his daughter. The shabby girl he sees at the beginning of the story at the bus stop and the two girls he sees when he walks from the bus to his home. With all he notices how they look, how their legs are shaped. And there is Ruby, even though he is initially afraid that she tells the vice-president when it becomes clear that she probably will not tell on him he remarks: "There was a sense of intimacy, of a shared secret binding them cosily together. A fine girl, that Ruby!" . Even if there is still the danger of her telling on him, that he might have misinterpreted her "little upward glance, mischievous, understanding, with just that least hint of admiration in it." , he sees his next prey."

Abstract
This paper examines how the press complaints commission (PCC) is an independent body that deals with complaints from members of the public about the editorial content of newspapers and magazines and how it is accountable for the way in which news is gathered and reported. It looks at the set-up of the PCC and stipulates the pros and cons of it being a self-regulator for British newspapers. It then analyzes the PCC's code of conduct and discusses whether or not it is beneficial by examining PCC adjudications.

From the Paper
"As a self-regulator, the PCC has a code of conduct that provides special protection to individuals within society (particularly vulnerable groups of people such as children, hospital patients and those at risk of discrimination). Within that code of practice are ethical standards that newspaper proprietors, editors and journalists have to apply to. These principles range from accuracy in newspaper reporting, individuals opportunity to reply, people's privacy not being invaded, members of society not being harassed and intruded on when in grief or shock, listening devices being used to hear unauthorized conversations, criminals nor witnesses being paid in criminal trials, protection of journalist's sources and no misrepresentation of information or photographs."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effectiveness of the Press Complaints Commission as a regulatory body over the printed press in the UK. It looks at the role and work of the PCC while exploring the efficiency of self regulation.

From the Paper
"Newspapers and magazines are a primary source of information about the world for the general public and therefore accuracy is of a high importance when people frequently make social and political judgements from it. It is also argued that accuracy is important to protect individuals from the repercussions of inaccurate information . This can be a difficult task, when as John Solosky suggests "controlling the behaviour of journalists could be a difficult problem for the management of a news organisation, especially since reporters spend most of their time outside the newsroom" . The Press Complaints Commission (or PCC) attempts to keep printed publications in check through what is described as "self-regulation". This essay attempts to look at the role and work of the PCC, analysing whether or not self-regulation is an effective form of control."

Abstract
This paper addresses employment discrimination and the rights of employees. It explains the process of filing a discrimination complaint against an employer. It examines the EEOC discrimination complaints and civil litigation processes. The paper also explains how the complaint begins with the EEOC, and proceeds through the civil litigation process up to the United States Supreme Court.

From the Paper
"Title VII of the U.S. Civil Right Act forbids employers from discrimination against applicants or employees on the basis of various characteristics, including an individual's race, sex, religion, nationality, marital status, skin color and pregnancy status. According to Paul Schechter in his book, "California Labor Law Digest", in the United States when someone feels that they have been harmed or damaged by another person or by a company, the party claiming to have been harmed has the right to sue. The United States Congress has created..."

Abstract
The paper evaluates a discrimination incident that occurred to John, a 50 year old employee who works for Clinica Sierra Vista as a behavioral health counselor. The paper analyzes the entire discrimination complaint and civil litigation process as it would potentially apply to John and his employer, beginning with the EEOC and proceeding through the civil litigation process. The paper illustrates how the filing and settling of discriminatory complaints is a time consuming and costly process, whether it is completed just through the EEOC, or all the way to civil litigation. The paper points out, however, that such a case serves as an example to organizations that age discrimination cannot be tolerated.

From the Paper
"In today's business world, organizations do their best to ensure that they are legally protected by establishing policies and procedures, ensuring that management and employees abide by them, and making sure that their human resources department assists the company in adhering to all applicable employment laws. However, no organization is perfect, and the occurrence of legal issues is more possible than it may seem. Over the years, there has been a rise in reported cases of discrimination, mostly due to awareness, education, and availability of resources and laws that allow an employee to make a claim. Age discrimination is one that has experienced a rise since the early 1990s. In the year 2000, 16,000 age discrimination lawsuits were filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which was an increase of 2,000 from the previous year and the highest number since 1995 (Crampton & Hodge, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the article, "Black Managers Complaint of Discrimination at WSSC," which asserts that the management at the WSSC promotes less qualified white men while overlooking them. The paper also discusses the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission's investigation of the case.

From the Paper
"The most recent complaint, filed by the eleven managers, is being investigated, and it is difficult to tell how long the investigation will last. Racial discrimination is difficult to prove in a system that still favors the white majority, and Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission is probably aware of it. Instead of offering evidence to the contrary (such as comparing the numbers of high-level position held by equally qualified African American and Caucasian workers; comparing salaries; or producing examples of steps taken to impose consequences for discriminatory behavior) their only defense is that the workers' claims are unsubstantiated."
