Abstract
This paper examines the double standard that has been applied within the literary world. It takes the lives of three women authors: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Mary Rowlandson, and Anzia Yezierska, and examines the commonality of their struggle to find and secure the women's identity.

From the Paper
"Women's literature has long been characterized by the struggle to establish the feminine experience in accordance with accepted standards within the context of the world at the time of writing. Women have long been repressed to a very small section of the literary world and as such, they have had to struggle with preconceived notions, cultural standards, and intellectual bigotry against them, which is reflected in their writing. Women authors have perceived themselves, particularly those from previous two centuries, as having to nearly shout to be heard."

Abstract
This essay asserts that in the broader issue of reproductive rights, pro-life strategists apply a double standard when it comes to minorities and their reproductive rights. The paper maintains that when the focus is changed from abortion to broader reproductive freedom, the pro-life advocates apply race and class criteria that distinguish between the rights of white, middle-class women and low-income women of color. The paper further asserts that pro-life activists advocate policies that discourage childbearing by depriving low-income women of the means to support a child and that the pro-life movement has sought to discourage women on welfare from becoming pregnant by punishing them when they bear children.

From the Paper
"These policies designed to control the child-bearing of poor women are but the latest in a series of practices that date back to the eugenics movement of the 19th century, which promoted, racial theories of "fitness" and "unfitness." During this time of a significantly declining birth rate within the white population, politicians and eugenicists raised the specter of white "race suicide." The eugenics movement, which was adopted briefly by the birth control movement in the early 20th century, advocated a higher birthrate for white, middle class, "fit" women and a lower birthrate (aided by birth control) for poor women, especially poor "unfit" women of color and immigrant women."

Abstract
This paper discusses the tone, emotional persuassion and the argument style of the author in discussing the double standards of the media. The paper then examines how in the article "L'Affaire Spitzer: Why is the Focus on the Women?" Daphne Bramham presents an argument that the media has been doing a bad job with its coverage of the news story about politician Eliot Spitzer's illegal activities. The paper shows how her argument often lacks substantiated evidence and presents an opinionated and angry tone.

From the Paper
"In the article "L'Affaire Spitzer: Why is the focus on the women?" Daphne Bramham presents an argument that the media has been doing bad job with its coverage of the news story about politician Eliot Spitzer's illegal activities. She argues that the media has not been focusing on the illegal aspects of Spritzer's behavior or how it relates to his political position, but instead focuses their attention on the women in his life and shifts the blame for his mistakes on the women. The author argues that as a society we have not gone far enough away from blaming women for men's sexual mistakes. She argues that we should scrutinize Spritzer's behaviour..."

Abstract
The writer explores the standards that American workers demand and are given in the workplace, as compared to the substandard working conditions that American companies provide foreign workers overseas. The writer then discusses the impact of this practice on society, environment and the labor standards in general. The paper contends that the time has come for US companies to show by example to the rest of the world that it is possible to be fair and profitable at the same time.

From the Paper
"During recent years, workers in the United States have watched helplessly as US corporations move their operations to other countries. While the corporations defend their actions with financial rhetoric the news media continues to uncover unsafe working conditions, environmental dumping and dirt poor wages for those foreign employees who were initially thrilled to have an American company come to their area of the world. When the world looks at America they often see a land of opportunity. They are aware that United States workers have a high standard by which they work. They are provided breaks, safety equipment, regular wage increases and many times, benefits for not only themselves but also for their families."

Abstract
The legal concept of "Double Jeopardy" is a rather simple one to define and to understand; but .application of the Double Jeopardy standard is anything but easy or simple. The paper describes Double Jeopardy as a limitation in court proceedings that the same person cannot be tried for the same crime twice, regardless of the verdict or outcome of the first trial. But, as with all legal procedures and rules of order, there are exceptions to the rule. The paper shows that in cases where new evidence is found that can demonstrate a person's innocence, a trial is considered warranted because the outcome could not adversely affect the person already convicted. If, however, the new evidence could prove an already determined innocent person guilty, then Double Jeopardy rules start being applicable. The paper concludes that Double Jeopardy actively prevents multiple prosecutions and overlapping punishments for the same crime.

From the Paper
"The key issue in our modern application of Double Jeopardy is whether or not it was intended to just limit the actions of the executive and judicial branches, or whether it was meant to include actions of the legislative branch. The Court's seeming unwillingness to decide if the Clause protects against legislative incursions upon Double Jeopardy values accounts for most of the confusion in Double Jeopardy jurisprudence. By this, it is meant that the Double Jeopardy Clause either does or does not limit Legislative ability to create new and additional punishments for the same crime. For example, does Double Jeopardy prevent Congress from making a law that allows for a person to be given additional punishments for every person secondarily affected by a murder (while current practice is to punish the crime itself, this hypothetical law would allow for the same crime's punishment to be based upon the number of people in the family and community directly affected by the crime and to add additional years of punishment)."

Abstract
This paper illustrates how coaches sustain professional standards of behavior, elucidate their expert functions and compulsions, recognize suitable conscientiousness for their manners and adjust their means to the requirements of dissimilar athletes in the high school. The author believes that recruitment judgments for high school institutions must be based on a precise fortitude that the athletes are critically dedicated to getting an education and has or will expand their academic skills and character to do well. The paper stresses that successful coaches ought to try and build the following vital characters: Purpose, skill, understanding, character and habits.

From the Paper
"Research reveals that the high school coaches can improve capability in teamwork, collaboration, management ability, interpersonal ability and strength of mind. While participating in the athletics and training, a lot of high school athletes gain knowledge from their high school coaches of the worth of justice and the idea of right and wrong. Coaches allow young athletes to learn appropriate physical forcefulness under a supervised and restricted state of affairs and give high school athletes with an opening to find out how to interrelate properly with grown-ups and influencing people other than their parents. Coaches also can encourage friendships amid athletes and families across ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groupings."

Abstract
This paper analyzes three essays concerned with the nature of imprisonment and with those that suffer incarceration in the American prison system; : "Double Standard on Drug Sentences" by Cynthia Tucker; "Time", by Nathan McCall; and "Mother's Day in Federal Prison" by Amanda Coyne. Two of the essays discussed are concerned with drugs and imprisonment and two of the essays also are concerned with the ways in which men and women (and their families) deal with incarceration. This multiple analysis looks at the prison system, and whether it fairly treats those who are imprisoned.

From the Paper
"Most of the works here see the drug-user as a victim of the wars against drugs: they are unfairly taken from children, or families (Even, in Tucker, from becoming 'Tax-paying citizens" (Tucker, 1998, page 3)). This is not met with agreement by the McColl piece; his drug-dealer is a partially dangerous, partially benevolent wide-boy. He is, however, the only one to treat the system as a business opportunity, and the only one of all the characters in the articles to undermine the system to the extent of escaping."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the essay, "Advertising Sets a Double Standard for the Male Gender," written by William Sea. Specifically, the paper discusses Sea's argument that advertisers are hoping to create misleading notions of masculinity. The paper supports Sea's conclusions based on the content of several advertisements featuring images of masculinity.

From the Paper
"What is so interesting about these commercials is not the stereotypes and offensive portrayals of men; it is that they seem to work, and that men accept them. It seems as if men view these men as somehow removed from themselves or reality. They can laugh at them, but they do not identify with them, instead, they identify with the manly undertones the commercials seem to contain. The men in this commercial are dunderheads, but the men watching the commercial feel superior, because they know enough to go to Carl's already, and that makes them some how removed from the poor, dumb slobs in the commercials. By using these alternative views of men, they are actually appealing to men, who always seem to be in competition with something or someone, and so, they perpetuate these alternative and offensive views of men."

Abstract
This paper explores the World Trade Organization's bias against the poor and how it almost exclusively favors the rich. The paper also looks at how the major players in the WTO system do not abide by the very rules that they have created.

From the Paper
"The recent Cancun round of negotiations within the WTO, regarding especially agricultural subsidies, showed that finally the developing countries starting with giants such as India and Brazil, preponderantly agricultural countries with significant contribution to world trade, backed up by China, could finally make a common point and a stand still against the European Union and the United Stated. The strange and somewhat revolting point of discussion is that, while boasting liberalization and free trade, the EU and the United States spent an approximated $300 billion in subsidies, almost all of them going to agriculture. Isn't a subsidy a way to ignore the free trade boasted as the main program by the WTO. Of course, you do not use taxes to raise imported goods prices, but you follow a reverse pattern and use subsidies to lower national goods prices and make them more competitive on the foreign market."

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the impact of the school doubling class time based upon the results of the New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) required under NCLB for all first time 11th graders. Analysis of variance and effect size are used in this study to determine the success of the program. The period of time covered in the analyses are school years 2003-2004, 2004-2005, 2005-2006, and 2006-2007 in order to cover the transition year as well as the next three years during which time the program had become fully implemented for all students. Test scores for the non-low achievers that did not receive the treatment will also be analyzed over the same time period to ensure consistency of the test. The paper includes a review of the literature on this topic. Several tables are also included in this paper.

From the Paper
"Like all resources, the time teachers have available to deliver high quality educational services to their students is, by definition, scarce and must be used to its maximum advantage. Before the turn of the 20th century, high schools in the United States were characterized by a significant amount of flexibility in terms of their class scheduling (Hackmann, 2004). Prior to 1900, a variety of formats were used to teach various subjects, with different courses using different number of days per week in which instruction was delivered; however, by 1909, in an attempt to standardize educational delivery among American high schools, the College Entrance Examination Board implemented the Carnegie unit, an approach that mandated that a total of 120 hours of classroom instruction was to provided in 40- to 60-minute classes throughout an academic year that was comprised of 36 to 40 weeks (McNeil, 1996). This trend to standardize the educational format was due in large part to significant influences from the business world where scientific management as characterized by Taylorism-like approaches that placed a high value of efficiency, mass production, and uniformity in the workplace (Hackmann). It was during this period in American history that the daily- period schedule was created as an organizational response to the problem of educating increasingly large numbers of students efficiently (Hackmann, 2004)."
