Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the mindset of the law-makers in the U.S. gave way to the making of the Constitution, and more importantly the inclusion of an entire chapter that would particularly safeguard the rights and interests of the people against all other authorities in the country. These were known as the Fundamental Rights, which would cater to the needs of the average man in the country, thereby providing him respite even in the face of the highest authority in the nation if his rights were to be violated in any instance. With regard to the topic of contempt of court and free speech, the writer looks at the debate between the will of a higher authority that is the judiciary and the most basic yet unavoidable right of the common man, i.e. the right to freedom of expression. Since the project topic seems to be a conflict between the two, the researcher first defines or throws light on what both of them hold. The researcher then discusses both the aspects of this issue, thereby trying to draw a conclusion with regard to what finally over-rules; authority or right.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The present case is one of critical analysis and amazement as to how irresponsible and callous the media can be, in the pretext of doing their job. The fact that such media persons do not understand the implication of their publications, attacking and impugning the very integrity and character of the judges, is indeed, a very disgraceful thing to happen in the context of freedom of speech and expression. Nevertheless, in all this process the publishers got what they wanted- intense publicity and profits at the expense of a panel of a few judges. And all the judiciary did in this respect was to let them off on the basis of a tendered apology. This does send negative signals to the mass at large, that might start thinking that they can say and do anything they want to in the exercise of their freedom of speech and expression, and can get away with the same by tendering false apologies to the Court, to escape punishment. In this way, not only did the reputation of the judiciary suffer a blow, it also did not succeed in meting out proper justice to the wrong-doers by simply letting them loose."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the adaptation of literary texts into film, including Dashiell Hammett's "The Maltese Falcon", adapted for film by director John Huston, and Alberto Moravia's "Le M'epris", adapted for film by director Jean-Luc Godard. The paper examines how Hammett's detective fiction genre is similar to the film noir genre in the film of the same name and how Moravia's psychological novel is similar to French New Wave Cinema illustrated in Godard's film "Contempt."

From the Paper
"Both Dashiell Hammett's hardboiled detective novel, "The Maltese Falcon", and Alberto Moravia's psychological novel about the disintegration of a marital relationship, "Contempt" a.k.a. "A Ghost at Noon" were adapted into feature films. Hammett's novel and its protagonist, Sam Spade, were adapted by director John Huston in the film, "The Maltese Falcon", while Jean-Luc Godard adapted Moravia's novel for the screen in the film "Contempt". In adapting one of the most popular novels of all time,..."

Abstract
This paper summarizes and analyzes Godard's film about the deterioration of a marriage between Paul Javal, a French writer and his wife Camille.

From the Paper
"So eager is Paul to succeed, that he sells his soul to the devil, so to speak, and accepts the task of fixing a script for the American producer, Jeremy Prokosch, played by Jack Palance. The screenplay he has been hired to fix is by Friz Lang, who plays himself as writer and director of an adaptation of Ulysses. The film, being shot at Rome's Cinecitta studios and the Isle of Capri, is suffering due to Prokosch's over-bearing interference."

Abstract
This paper begins with a discussing and acknowledging some of the legitimate reasons that businesses have for monitoring the workplace and then takes a look at why too much monitoring, or monitoring in workplaces that have not traditionally been monitored, may have more deleterious effects instead of beneficial ones.


Thesis/Introduction: Lack of Privacy in the Workplace Encourages
Contempt.

Legal yet Excessive Supervision/Surveillance or What Employees View
as Excessive Invasion of Privacy
Conclusion: Employees View Invasion of Privacy with Contempt that Transfers to Contempt for Employers and Supervisors

From the Paper
"In today's modern age, employers across the board have begun to resort to increasingly invasive methods to monitor the performance and behavior of their employees. Previously a realm of banks and retail establishments, employee monitoring has become the norm in most large and many small businesses -- aimed at everything from promoting employee professionalism, preventing theft and asset loss, reducing legal liability, improving productivity and customer service. However, like many things, utilizing the various (and increasing) methods of employee surveillance can also have significant and damaging effects upon the morale, and even performance of employees. Even worse, allowing legitimate surveillance to lapse into unfounded infringement upon employee privacy, legal or not, can cause nothing short of contempt within the workforce."

Abstract
This paper examines Henry of Huntingdon's ecclesiastical bias, which is a prominent feature throughout his book "History of the English People", and the origins of this bias. Examples from Henry's book are utilised throughout the paper in order to highlight and illustrate Henry's viewpoints on the vices and virtues of previous kings and notable clergy. Henry's clear advocation of a clear separation of church and state is also analysed.

From the Paper
"However, before we can fully understand how Henry's contempt for the world influenced his views on kingship, we must understand what Henry meant by his contempt for the world, by what it entailed and what he tried to describe and illustrate to the reader of the history as to the events of the time and how he tried to influence the reader of the history along his lines of thought. Henry's phrase 'contempt for the world', essentially refers to the sins of man, which he hopes that the reader will take note of and "learn to hold in contempt, what is contemptible" . Henry at the time of writing this highly religious history believed that the actions of men were directly in touch with the world. Indeed the sins of men were not dissimilar to the cardinal sins of the time or indeed to the sins of man as evoked by Plato in The Republic. "

From the Paper
"This study will analyze the duality of men's attitudes toward women as portrayed by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun in The Romance of the Rose. The study will consider the reasons that men worshipped women while at the same time having contempt for them, and will explore how this duality of attitude and practice helped shape the code of chivalry which men lived by during the Middle Ages.


In the Introduction to the book, we read that the story is told rather straightforwardly: "A Lover wishes to win his Lady (the Rose); her responsiveness (Fair Welcome) encourages him; her sense of modesty (Shame) fends him off; the dominance she exercises upon him (Danger --- a French form of the Latin word dominarium meaning 'domination') blocks his advance. Modern readers, accustomed to similar Freudian abstractions, can hardly..."

Abstract
Examines anti-American hatred of many Islamic States of the world. Offers various explanations as to why anti-American animosity has developed. The threat of modernity and secularization posed by the U.S. to Muslims. The Persian Gulf War. American support for Israel. View of Islamic fundamentalists and extremists that the U.S. is "Satan."

"An Exploration of Muslim Animosity Toward the U.S.

The events of September 11, 2001, served to confirm what American government officials and many private citizens have long recognized: within the Islamic States of the world, there are many, many Muslims whose feelings toward the United States can only be described as hatred, contempt, and disgust. The question to be considered in this report is why this anti-American animosity has developed. Various explanations have been offered, among which are the belief that America has unfairly supported Israel and ignored the interests of the Palestinians (Sheler, 2001).

Other explanations of this phenomenon have been discussed by Sultan Shahin (1995) who argues that Islam views the West as an excessively secular civilization in which genuine religious feeling ..."

"In delineating different requirements of leadership for different kinds of states, Niccolo Machiavelli, in The Prince, is concerned only with the maintenance of power, rather than with any ethical consideration. Whatever rationalization is made in defending Machiavelli's ideas, the fact remains that those ideas are rooted in the worship of power. Machiavelli, based on the ideas in this book, would have honored Hitler, Franklin Roosevelt, and Stalin equally, because they were able to maintain power, though in different ways. Machiavellian ideas are at work in democracies as well as in tyrannies, for Machiavelli does not simply advocate brute force as the only or primary tool of the leader, but instead argues for persuasion---including the use of any necessary lies---if persuasion works. In any case, as Machiavelli notes, if the leaders "depend on their own energies ..."

Abstract
The writer characterizes her emotions seven times per day for three consecutive days, using the short version of Carroll Izard's differential emotion scale (DES). The writer analyzes her emotions in the DES' categories of interest, joy, surprise, distress, anger, disgust, contempt, fear, shame and guilt and then offers a brief review of the results. The writer includes a diary of emotions data collection grid.

From the Paper
"Before analyzing the result of the cataloging process, some remarks on my specific uses of Izard's emotions are necessary. Frequently, when I attempted to characterize my emotional state, the most prominent psychological and physiological state was tiredness. Although tiredness is arguably not an emotion, its effects on my mental state were pronounced and so I took tiredness to be a specific manifestation of distress and therefore listed distress as my primary emotion. This explains the apparently paradoxical appearance of both distress and joy at the same time several times over the course of those three days."
