Abstract
This paper discusses the role of domination and examines the relationship between domination and resistance. The paper discusses how the relationship between domination and resistance has given rise to a social interaction by which we are trained to use each other. Specifically, the paper discusses the social mechanism of mankind and how this impacts the way that individuals interact with one another.
From the Paper
"In this society, man cannot be totally free. He is bound by the processes of acculturation that have been handed down as inherent from each society, the retention of a hierarchical ordering in which the dominant always abuse their superiority status and by imposing honed elements of domination such as exploitation, degradation, and humiliation on the subordinate classes. This is done not only to satisfy the dominator's own ego and sense of power, but also to keep the dominated in a state of subordination and maintain the hierarchical social order that has placed the dominator in the position of power. Meanwhile the subordinate continues to resent and inwardly resist the fact that they are being subordinated, while harboring notions of resistance and revenge. The very nature of the social mechanism of mankind has trained individuals to hide their true feelings and attitudes towards each other as a social survival instinct."

Abstract
This paper argues in favor of the realism offered by E.H. Carr in his evaluation of the first distinction of factored analysis arising from Marxist theory. The paper discusses how in this capacity, Carr saw a strong set of analytical principles in the theories of Karl Marx that defined the course of history, as well as those factors that drove international relations through a far more objective economic perspective. The paper asserts that with Cox's identifying Carr as a proponent of "critical theory" , he as right in suggesting that economic and material forces are the central driving influences on hegemony as they have arisen within American global domination.

Abstract
This paper discusses the gender roles of women in the films "Red River" and "My Darling Clementine". The paper describes the ways in which the films show some strengths that woman are capable of, but directors Ford and Hawks never really present these women in a serious manner. The paper suggests that the patriarchal domination of the male roles in these films always seem to make laughing stock out of women, as the few women with any kind of power are diminished.
From the Paper
"Film Studies: Understanding the Patriarchal Domination of Women in the Western Genre In this film study, the role of women within a patriarchal pioneering society is portrayed within the films My Darling Clementine (1946) and Red River (1948). By evaluating the historical background of the old west through cinema, women are often portrayed as submissive to the gun slinging and often more aggressive male roles in these films. By analyzing the way that the women characters are filmed in these westerns, one can realize how misogynistic the overall plot and character construction is presented through their actions and behaviors. In essence, the patriarchal construct of diminishing the power of women is evident within these two films. The role of many westerns in the 1940s reflect the growing family values that America chose to adopt in Hollywood after World War II."

Abstract
This paper discusses how there are several important themes that run throughout Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre". Isolation, abuse, and dependency are a few, but the most powerful theme is that of male domination. It analyzes how this theme can be seen throughout every stage of Jane's life, from her youthful days at the Reed's house, to her school-girl days at Lowood to her relationship with Mr. Rochester.
From the Paper
"Throughout Jane Eyre, Jane struggles to become an equal to the men in her life; this is seen at every stage throughout her life. After her parents died and the Reed's take her in, her Uncle passes away, but not before making his wife promise to take care of Jane, as if she were her own. Mrs. Reed does not listen to her husband, though, and abuses Jane while she is staying with her. This is Jane's first struggle to be an equal in society; she is treated like an animal instead of a young girl. Mrs. Reed orders her to be thrown into the "red room," where she is locked in there, alone, young and frightened. "

Abstract
This paper discusses Cope's study on attempts at racism in colonial Mexico and the reasons why racism never truly flourished. The paper concludes by agreeing with Cope's study and the light it sheds on racism and class and self-identity.
From the Paper
"The failure of Spanish elites to impose their own definitions of race on the people of the traza shows the difficulty of imposing one's cultural ideas and definitions on another society. In the case of colonial Mexico, for example, the Spanish clearly wanted to establish a social order based on race. To them, a person's social mobility hinges on how much Spanish blood they possess."

Abstract
This paper examines the globalization of culture and how the American popular culture shapes it. It investigates how economic dominance, communications technologies, social and political events influence global mass media. The paper also describes the role of the English language in creating a single world culture.
From the Paper
"When we look at the dominant form of culture that characterizes our society today, it is often referred to as "globalization." But to many, this idea of a unified world is characterized by the concept of "Americanization." To a large extent, the shared culture around the world is becoming more and more influenced by American culture. There are many reasons for this, but primarily these are the result of the economic dominance of that nation, the development of global systems of communication, and the spread of English as the new international language. The following paper will address all of these issues in order to fully understand the reasons why the United States has a stranglehold on the global market in mass culture."

Abstract
This paper explores the domination of women by men. In Shakespeare's "Othello", Ibsen's "A Doll's House" and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", we see examples of this phenomena quite clearly, with our modern eyes. The paper examines the different ways in which ideas of domination have changed shape from Elizabethan times to that of the turn of the century.
From the Paper
"Shakespeare's "Othello" is a play written by an Englishman, set in Venice. From the beginning, we see women warned by both men and women to beware of the scheming of men. "an old black ram/is tupping your white ewe," shouts Iago to Desdemona's father when he is warning him of The Moor's abduction of her. (1.1.89 Norton Anthology 2102) When Othello defends his marriage to Desdemona, he is accused of practicing witchcraft upon her. (1.2.64-64) Yet when he explains, we are assured both by the beauty of his words, by Desdemona, and by the reaction of the men listening to him that it was only the beauty of his stories that charmed her, not any sinister power he might have."

Abstract
In this paper the author attempts to address exactly how the Greeks reacted to the fall of Constantinople to the Turkish Empire. He highlights how preliminary research appears to show that some Greeks renounced their culture and their church and were fully assimilated into the Ottoman Empire, but that a greater number of Greeks (The Phanariots) retained their language, their culture and their religion and were able to not only prosper but rise to positions of significant power in the empire. These individuals colluded with the Ottomans without becoming part of them. A third group of Greeks who remained in the Greek Islands evaded daily contact with their rulers and lived the ordinary lives of Greek peasants and sailors in the previous millennium.The paper concludes with the evidence that the Greeks ended up destroying the Ottomans.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is interesting to observe that the founding father's of the United States looked to Greece and its early democracy as an ideal on which they would build post revolutionary America and that the American revolution was first fought by dissatisfied over taxed small farmers (North Carolina) and then joined eventually by members of the elite who had experience in military science and political organization. It is interesting to note that the wealthy and middle class colonists in America were very reluctant to revolt against the British especially in the early years of the revolution".
