Abstract
This paper examines the trial and condemnation of Socrates, further showing how even today it is relevant for understanding the nature of justice and its relationship with the law. In particular, the paper quotes from Plato's "Republic" to show Socrates' beliefs about justice at the time of the trial. Additionally, the paper summarizes these dialogues in the statement that justice and laws are designed to be harmonious and work together, and they are to be followed no matter what injustice has occurred for otherwise society would fall into destruction. The paper includes a lengthy philosophical discussion about justice. The paper concludes with the caveat that justice and the law do not always work in harmony.

From the Paper
"In order for one to understand what the trial and condemnation of Socrates has to teach us about the nature of justice and its relationship with the law, one must first understand what is meant by the terms "justice and "law . These are two separate things, and it is impossible for them to be one whole concept in itself; the law as we know it is not always just, therefore justice and the law are different. However, despite their difference, the two form a relationship with each other for the good and survival of our society. Justice is a universal goal which all societies should strive towards for their citizens, and the law is the process by which that goal can be achieved. As it will be explained further, upon analysis of Plato s "Republic", we can never truly know what pure justice is, we can see examples of it, but we still are unable to know what it actually is. This is where the law comes in, for it is the laws role to attempt to help society reach its goal of justice for all. It is this relationship between justice and the law which is ever present in the trial and condemnation of Socrates."

Abstract
The literature of AIDS in Nepal tells of an epidemic ignored till 2 million or so cases were threatened, the public and government content to blame AIDS on sex workers, male migrant workers; Indian or Western tourists. Paper condemns government, and NGO responses that did not collaborate with the state towards a public health and education campaign, in cost-benefit terms. The war did not 'cause' a predictable epidemic in Nepal.

The AIDs Epidemic in Nepal - Blaming the Victim. Introduction Nepal now has the second highest HIV-AIDS rate in South Asia, second to the Republic of India's 5 million cases, in a regional total of HIV-positive persons said to be 7 million. (Singh, Mills et al 0705) A distinct feature of materials addressing Nepal's AIDS epidemic is a tendency to blame susceptible persons, in an almost moralizing tone that can extends too to the post-1996 Maoist insurgency in Nepal, discussed as a mystery or an instance of misbehaviour whose origins are unexplained. No mention is made of the Kingdom of Nepal's failure to provide formal or

Abstract
For those who look to the Bible for answers, many cite the Book of Leviticus as proof that the Bible condemns homosexuality. This paper discusses how a closer look at these often cited passages, using both an historical and biblical perspective, sheds new light on the subject, suggesting that the Bible may not actually condemn homosexuality as once believed.

From the Paper
"In recent times, homosexuality has been one of the most debated issues in the Bible. Many believe that the Bible condemns homosexuality, especially those Christians who adopt conservative interpretations of the Bible. Two of the verses most commonly cited by those who condemn homosexuality are in the book of Leviticus. A simple reading of these two verses can easily be interpreted as God simply prohibiting homosexuality among men. However, these verses read alone are not an accurate statement of the Bible's stance on homosexuality. When viewed in both a religious and historical context, and when viewed together with the other rules outlined in Leviticus, condemnation of homosexuality based on Leviticus seems to be without merit."

Abstract
This paper is an interpretation of Paulo Freire's essay, "Banking Concept of Education" and its limitation in society. The author points out that the banking concept of education assumes that the student is ignorant and that the teacher is the only one who has any knowledge so that the entire education process is flawed from the start because of this premise. The author argues that until there is a way to encourage a free flow, or dialogue between educator and student the problems in education will remain, even as new curricula are introduced.

From the Paper
"When we study the curriculum across the country, we realize that it is designed to integrate the experience a diverse population within the standard post secondary curriculum. The courses have been revised and reformed to allow a more universal view of the environment. The curriculum is flexible and unbiased and thus, modern in its conception. Yet, the manner in which we teach it limits the effects of the design. Thus, how we teach is as important as what we teach. For many people, the word "pedagogy" signifies classroom techniques designed to transmit knowledge from teacher (and text) to students. Traditional pedagogics employ what Paulo Freire calls "the 'banking' concept of education," in which "knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing."(4)"

From the Paper
"Amos and Hosea both react to corruption in 8th century Israel. Each condemns injustice and the maltreatment of the poor. Amos' tone, however, is decidedly harsher than Hosea's. Amos warns Israel to return to covenantal fidelity or risk facing terrifying divine justice, whereas Hosea highlights the need for true knowledge of God in order to reap the benefits of God's compassion for his son, Israel. Because Hosea's message better synthesizes with the Israelite tradition of blessing, his message would likely have been more effective than Amos' in actually effecting reform in Israel."

Abstract
In this paper, although he had been innocent to the Captain and much of the crew, the scapegoating of Billy was a necessary evil to set a precedent about the law and of its enforcement on the high seas. Mutiny was a serious offense in the navy, which certainly did not go in Billy's favor due to Claggart's corruption and lack of responsible behavior. This is essentially the post-trial reason why Captain Vere never swayed from his duty.

Abstract
This paper analyzes Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" and how it is an indictment of humanity. The paper explains that, in "Gulliver's Travels", Swift seeks to condemn human nature as being a state that is assimilated by all in terms of unthinking servitude to individuals' own desires and needs, which conflict and contrast to create a sort of messy chaos that is not ruled by reason or logic. The paper relates that Swifts condemnation of human nature is not light satire. Rather it is a general indictment of humanity as being naturally loathsome and horrible to behold. That is, Swift does not see any saving grace in civilization, but instead concentrates on the innate debasement of humanity.

"When the narrator accepts that the horses are his social superiors and masters, he does so after some amount of discussion, having learned their language enough to give a rather proud account of his native land, which is summarily dismissed by the horses as being typical of Yahoo behavior. The horses remark that it is not unheard of in their land to also see Yahoos squabbling and killing each other over certain minerals, and that the dominant Yahoo is also surrounded by fawning subservient attendants who herd female
Yahoos into his camp and help to clean the lead Yahoo's feet and behind."

Abstract
Male homosexuality was a common practice in Chinese history. Several sources document the extent of this practice through long periods of Chinese history. It was also widely depicted in Chinese literature. Common literary terms for homosexuality included longyang, fen tao zhi ai (sharing or eating a peach) and duanxiu or cut sleeve. With few exceptions, however, male homosexuality did not replace heterosexual marriage nor was it seen as an alternative to marriage. Even as a kind of supplement to marriage, male homosexuality was not universally accepted. Though common, it was condemned by many. It was also illegal in the Qing period. These themes are discussed in this paper.

From the Paper
"Hester Prynne, the protagonist in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, is ostracized from her community and forced to wear a cloth "A" signifying she has committed the sin of adultery. However, the novel is a condemnation not of Hester but of the community which has so harshly and hypocritically judged her. Hawthorne's novel portrays both the inhumane effects of the cruel enforcement of the morality of Puritanism, and the courage and love of Hester as she lives to transcend that inhumane cruelty. Hester is shown to suffer not because she is evil, but because her human frailties have been judged evil by a community which refuses to accept such frailty in its members. Ironically, her lover is the man who represents more than any other those Puritan values. In Hawthorne's view, Hester is far more human and moral than the others in the community because she accepts ..."

Abstract
This paper examines the way in which Stone in his essay appears to be acting as a kind of prosecuting attorney across the ages, asking Socrates why and how the philosopher behaved in ancient Athens the way he did. By doing so, by using the format developed by Socrates himself, Stone hopes to shift the emphasis from the image of the hemlock-drinking, condemned philosopher to Socrates as he was in life.

From the Paper
"First of all, Stone challenges the simple association of Socrates with free speech. In fact, Socrates periodically challenged the democratic, free speech ideals of the Athens he lived in. Socrates hoped to create an ideal philosophical kingdom, ruled by a philosopher king. Although Socrates was condemned to death in Athens for what he said and advocated, this did not mean therefore that that Socrates had advocated free speech during his life, in his philosophy. Socrates was only able to flourish as long as he did in Athens because of the free debate and discussion encouraged in his resident city. Even though he condemned such free and democratic Athenian debate, Socrates benefited as a result of the city's tolerance."
