From the Paper
"Collective behavior is a very broad area of study. For example, in Collective Behavior Erich Goode states, 'Rumors and legends, fads, and collective protest- these and other social phenomena make up the subject matter of the field of collective Behavior'. Collective behavior is the relatively spontaneous, unstructured, extra institutional behavior of a fairly large number of individuals. The fact that collective behavior is such a diverse area of study means that many activities can be used to examine it. For this paper, demonstrations against the war in Iraq or anti-war demonstrations as they are commonly called will be used to examine many of the theories about collective behavior."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Tiananmen Square demonstrations of 1989 eventually brought a CCP crackdown that induced much discussion in the West and in Hong Kong. The paper shows how the Tiananmen Square movement was not altogether democratic, though demanding reforms of the government. The paper argues that capitalist growth in China has not solved the problem of Chinese poverty and predicts that the next 10 or 20 years will feature new agitation.

From the Paper
"This study will consider the alternatives to the Ohio National Guard's opening fire on Kent State Students on May 4, 1970, resulting in the deaths of four students during demonstrations on campus protesting President Nixon's war policies in Vietnam and Cambodia.

An examination of the policies and actions of government officials in the Kent State tragedy makes clear that in almost every conceivable instance those officials failed miserably in carrying out their duties. From the politicians (especially Governor Rhodes and Kent Mayor Satrom) to the school administration (especially President White) to the National Guard (especially Generals Del Corso and Canterbury), these officials demonstrated an extraordinary insensitivity and outright stupidity in dealing with the situation, so that, in retrospect, a tragedy of some ...

"The First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Congress shall make no law ..... abridging the
freedom of speech ..... "1 From this constitutional basis a voluminous body of litigation has developed. The litigation in great measure involves exceptions to the general rule of "free speech" found in the Constitution. In other words, freedom of speech is not an absolute right. Among the plethora of important issues is debate regarding the legitimacy of various manners of governmental restriction. The use of march and demonstration permits is one such restriction which the Supreme Court has recognized as a reasonable manner of control. However, these permits may not be used incongruously. Generally, the march and demonstration permits may not be used to regulate the content of the First Amendment speech involved but must be issued in a way ..."

From the Paper
"While the concept of nonviolence is an ancient concept, it is only in the last few hundred years that scholars have attempted to develop a theory of nonviolent resistance. And it was not until the writings of Martin Luther King, Jr. that such a theory has fully matured into what is known as "compassionate nonviolent resistance." The purpose of this research is to document the evolution of nonviolent resistance from colonial America to its height with Reverend King.
Nonviolence in Early America
Political expressions of nonviolence originated in the United States as early as the 1650s with the establishment of the Quaker church by Margaret Fell and George Fox (Nagler, 1982:73). The Quaker church opposed the use of personal violence as well as participation in wars between states."

"INTRODUCTION
Although considerable scholarship has been devoted to the accomplishments of the founding fathers and their role in liberating the colonies from Great Britain, the real heroes of the American Revolution were ordinary men. These men hailed from the lower strata of society, and included working class urbanites, rural peasants, immigrants, and blacks, both free and slave. Such men provided the muscle and participated in mob action against British tyranny. Mass movements such as these led to war in the American colonies.

Economic interests played a larger role in the American Revolution than many historians care to acknowledge. Granted, the ideals of freedom, liberty, and the rights of man were at the forefront in much of the rhetoric espoused by the founding.."

From the Paper
" The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the civil rights movement as to the types of persuasive communication used to further the cause, and the contribution of these methods to the movement's success or failure.
The civil rights movement in the United States involved a number of different types of persuasive communication, beginning with soft-spoken appeals for justice and equality and evolving into acts of "creative dissent" on a mass scale. Indeed, the movement derived much of its vigor and forcefulness from the in-genuity of leaders. Martin Luther King, in particular, helped dramatize the plight of blacks in the United States, especially in the Deep South. Antecedents for some of the methods used can be traced to the passive resistance movement instigated by Gandhi as India struggled to win her independence from Britain."

Abstract
This paper examines how Tennessee Williams uses themes of escape, illusory light, and truth vs. fantasy through out his plays. In particular, the paper looks at how Williams brings these themes into his famous play "A Streetcar Names Desire" to depict the nature and attitude of Blanche DuBois. The paper attempts to show how, within the play, Blanche's facets of hypocrisy, fantasy, and deceit make her a memorable character in American literature.

From the Paper
"Blanche also lives in a nonrealistic, fantasy world. Even with her age, Blanche lives in an unrealistic world. When talking about her relationship with Mitch and her age, Blanche even says, "I want magic!" (Williams 81). Blanche has to put herself in a fantasy world where she is young, desirable, and able to experience the magic of love and romance. Blanche tries to make everyone believe in her fantasy world so that she can actually live in it. While in the bath tub, Blanche sings "--But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me!"(Williams 99). By singing this song, Blanche shows not only that she is living in a fantasy, but also thinks that if other people believe in her fantasy it will become reality."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed demonstration of the meaning of petrification of the myth. The writer takes the reader on an exploratory journey to discover what the term means and how it effects the myths. Using several examples of its occurrence the writer demonstrates the term and its meaning.

From the Paper
"Petrifiction of a myth can mean death to a myth. The petrification process is a process by which a substance is hardened to such a point, that it will hold its current look and value for all time. The petrification of stones for example can create some beautiful discussion pieces, while the petrifications of dinosaur shapes can tell the world the history of their existence. Petrification in many areas can be a positive thing, but the myth that petrifies ceases to serve its purpose and soon dies. Therefore, the petrification of the myth is the myth's biggest challenge and one that it has to work its way around for its entire existence."
