Abstract
This paper will examine both the theory and practice of affirmative action (U.S.) and employment equity (Canadian counterpart) on moral and ethical grounds. This paper will argue that while such legislation may be defensible in terms of social engineering, in terms of morality and justice it is indefensible to promote justice to one group by denying justice to another.

From the Paper
"Counterparts is a short story by James Joyce set in working-class, twentieth century Ireland, as seen through the eyes of a rather pathetic protagonist who goes by the name of Farrington. Farrington appears to be the epitome of a twentieth century, middle-aged, working-class male, or at least an exaggerated version of such. He represents, for us "everyman", and his passive, pathetic journey through the trials and tribulations of everyday life. "

From the Paper
"As an individual determined upon a career in the field of criminal investigation working at the local state or federal level at some point in the foreseeable if not immediate future I have given a great deal of thought to the normative ethical system that will guide my career. In this essay I will delineate the elements of ethical behavior that I value most along with the ethical system from which I draw these constructs. I will discuss the ..."

Abstract
This paper provides a historical analysis of the Woodstock and Altamont Rock Festivals. The paper explains that modern and topical interpretations of the rock and roll era, including but not limited to the culminating events at Woodstock and its less well-known cousin Altamont, are varied, demonstrating the idealism that drove such events as well as the reality of the so-called disarray and chaos that was realized by them. The paper asserts that the development of Woodstock, its realization and massive, record growth as well as Altamont's dire violence could be seen as the full circle of a movement that embraced drugs to "free the mind" and then used them to such an excess that their actions became much more indicative of destructive substance abuse. The paper concludes that the legacy of Woodstock should that of an elusive event that helped to bring the messages of the counterculture to light, as well as a reminder of what happens when planning is completely outstripped by reality.

"Regardless of the personal impact that the movement had on individuals, both positive, negative and neutral the period marked a change in the world, and is treated as such both concurrently and in retrospective. The foundations that built Woodstock, ideals that challenged the status quo and the very visible and almost viral way in which Woodstock was organized and played out proved to many on both sides that mass movements could culminate in both positive and negative change that might never have been possible before, short of mass revolution."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the differences and similarities between the play 'Peter Pan', or 'The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up' (1904) and the novel 'Peter (Pan) and Wendy' (1911), the two most famous versions of J. M. Barrie's works. A sentence by sentence comparison of them, made by the essay writer, provides the basis for the comparison. First, the forms of the play and the novel are compared. The main focus of this essay is on differences in content. This part is subdivided into modifications of characters, omissions from the original and the ending of the stories. Lastly, the consequences of these changes on the story line are considered.

"The most obvious differences between the play and the novel are due to belonging to two specific literary genres. Thus, the play consists mainly of dialogues and has a multitude of stage directions, whereas the novel does not have any stage directions and is told by a narrator. Barrie's novel still has many dialogues, probably precisely because it has its source in the play.
"The third-person narrator in Peter Pan is omniscient. For example, he points out that Peter's acorn button will eventually save Wendy's life in chapter 3. This information is not given in the play."

Abstract
This paper will consider the differences of both Asian and American cinema. This paper will also look at the role of the hero in the action genre of these cinemas. A suggestion will be made that examining the ways heroes are portrayed reveals a great deal about the unspoken concerns of these two vastly different societies.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the issue of African-American women and feminism, from the 1960s to the present, while focusing on the views and opinions of various authors such as Patricia Hill Collins. Collins, a powerful voice in matters of black feminist epistemology, contends that because black women have access to both the Afro-centric and feminist standpoints, then, for a full analysis, both traditions should be represented through an "alternative epistemology." Collins also states that the key dimension of an Afro-centric feminist epistemology is the black woman's centrality in families and community organizations.
The writer of this paper discusses the issues that pertained to many African-American women in the 1960s and 1970s, who felt that the objectives and practices of feminism pertained mainly to white women. In the early 1970s, black feminists challenged this situation, questioning the assumption that white feminists spoke for all women and demanded -and eventually were given- women's studies programs on the experiences, culture and literature of black women. At that time, the activist black women who made the demands were denounced for espousing black nationalism, nonetheless, appropriate courses on "women of color" were eventually added to the women's studies' curriculum, which are detailed in this paper. This paper examines the progress and empowerment of African-American women over the years who are now able to lead in ways they had never thought possible, prior to 1960.

"In her book, Collins suggests that the Black feminist thought processes speaks to "the importance that knowledge plays in empowering oppressed people." Moreover, Black feminist thought offers a "fundamental paradigmatic shift in how we think about oppression," though the process of reconceptualizing "the social relations of domination and resistance." Black feminist thought also empowers "subordinate groups" by infusing them with "new knowledge" that helps them define the reality of their own existence. What is impressive about Collins - besides the fact that clearly she's brilliant, alert to what real Black women are doing and feeling - is that she is fair-minded when it comes to her scholarship, and generally eschews long and emotional harangues about the white culture, and about white feminist epistemology that has in the past stood in the way of African-American feminists reaching out to the world with their vision."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that as a whole, literature indicates that although most sexual abusers are male, child sexual abuse by women does occur, and it is probably less rare than once believed. The writer points out that research differs about just how frequently women sexually abuse children, what type of women are involved in the sexual abuse of children and under what circumstances women sexually abuse children. This archival comparison study answers the questions of who these females are, as well as the similarities and differences they share with their male counterparts. Quantitative measures are used to compare the psychological characteristics of male and female sex offenders using the results of the standardized testing instruments. The writer explains that the results of this study can be used to better understand the characteristics of female child molesters, as well as to recommend a course of treatment. The writer concludes that studies show that there is a need for more research on female child molesters as they often go unreported, or unnoticed, and considered not to be as important as their male counterparts.

"In recognition of the complexity of the factors that culminate in a sexually abusive act, most treatment programs rely on eclectic approaches delivered in individual and group formats. Components typically include relapse prevention analysis, psycho-pharmacological therapy, social skills training, development of empathy and moral reasoning skills, raising awareness of the cognitive distortions that support offending, chemical abuse education, and family therapy. Despite the wide array of agendas, the career or work related problems of sex offenders are routinely overshadowed by other considerations, and career interventions tend to be overlooked. For instance, that sex offenders may have difficulty obtaining a job because of stigma is a serious social problem that might cause them to re-offend or to offend in other ways because of economic pressure and hardship, but this issue tends to fall behind the importance of other issues in intervention."

Abstract
"Inequalities in public health systems will be examined through a feminist perspective, as often, younger women are not as able to negotiate the dominant discourse regarding health and fitness, as are their male counterparts. It is asserted that this may be due to the lack of information dispersed to women regarding their health and well-being. Feminist poststructuralist and postcolonial theories will be employed in this study in an effort to understand how females construct notions of health and fitness. "

Abstract
This paper discusses and compares the Apollonian and Dionysian dichotomy of two 20th century poems - Frank O'Hara's "Homosexuality" and Stephen Dobyns' "Counterparts." The paper uses these poems to show how a dichotomous conception of Apollo and Dionysus is rather limiting from the standpoint of literary analysis. It discusses how considering the intertwining of Apollonian and Dionysian tendencies is the only way we can adequately grasp a poet's mythical conception of the universe.

From the Paper
"At first glance, O'Hara's poem seems to have nothing whatsoever to do with the subject of homosexuality. As one penetrates below the surface of the poem, however, it becomes readily obvious that, without making any explicit references to homosexual practices, "Homosexuality" is in fact an homage to the Dionysian celebration of life that has traditionally been an integral part of the gay lifestyle. Dionysus has traditionally been aligned with the idea of joyful excess, drunken revelry, and, in art and literature, formlessness. The speaker in the poem feels unable to contain his own soul, and so he lets it drift off and intends to follow it on its unpredictable journey."
