Abstract This paper provides a synopsis and analysis of the classic horror story, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". The paper suggests that the main theme throughout the story is that of fear and that this theme manifests itself in the character of Dr. Jekyll. The paper focuses on the different facets of Dr. Jekyll's fear and concludes with a short discussion on what may be learned from reading the story.
From the Paper "Novels or films often have several themes running simultaneously together, and authors or directors often highlight more than one theme so that they can portray a maximum amount of their thoughts to the reader. There are certain writers who portray these themes in almost all their novels, and thus earn a reputation for using them. The introduction and use of a theme often depends on the experiences of these people and their ability to put these experiences into words. In putting some of these themes into words, addition of other themes is often unavoidable (Nabokov, pp184). In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde one may say that the main theme is that of fear, but along with it this there are others too. However, it is better to focus on the theme of fear because it seems to be the main one and the most important one in the character of Dr. Jekyll."
Abstract The following is an essay and analysis of the media attention which surrounds Dr. Laura Schlessinger . Examined first, is the news coverage which she has been receiving, and in turn, why it is controversial. Second, the focus of this discussion is turned toward the goal and aim of 'deconstructing' Dr. Laura Schlessinger . To this end, a number of secondary sources are raised and analyzed toward the end of understanding where this 'perspective' comes from, and in turn, some of the more glaring limitations of her position on homosexuality. This paper argues that this is a form of prejudice which is not substantiated by 'science', and conversely, this paper demonstrates that, in contrast to Canada's inching progress in terms of politically acknowledging same sex relations, Dr. Laura Schlessinger represents a regressive rather than a forward thinking or progressive means of thinking - that is, within a 'liberal' or 'egalitarian' framework.
Abstract This paper briefly summarizes and positively reviews Dr. Ruth Westheimer's book, "Dr. Ruth's Guide for Married Lovers", explaining that the book, while quite humorous at times, also unveils several fallacies about sex, explains the differences in the sexual drives in men and women, explains why the sexual drives differ, and offers suggestions on how individuals can improve their sex lives.
From the Paper "In the next few chapters, Dr. Ruth discusses sexual fantasies, and honeymoons. Dr. Ruth believes fantasies are good, and healthy, allow for a person's mind to escape during sex, and helps individuals to relax and enjoy themselves. She then discusses honeymoons, but curiously, only honeymoons for those who are still virgins. She claims there are a good deal of married couples who are virgins when they get married, but it seems more likely, that there are a greater number of non-virgins. However, the chapter is helpful, for both virgins and non-virgins. She discusses the expectancies and problems with new relationships. The man may be overly excited, and the woman may have difficulty getting excited. She suggests patience and understanding from both sides, and reminds the reader, that sex does not have to hurt. Then in a humorous, but also shameless plug of her book, Dr. Ruth suggests giving, Dr. Ruths Guide for Married Lovers, to a newly married couple as the perfect wedding gift."
Abstract This paper discusses how Dr. James Dobson and Psychologist Erik Erikson both have interesting views concerning the states that a child goes through and the discipline needed to successfully endure each one. It looks at how Dr. Dobson's views mostly concern disciplining your child. In comparison, it examines how Erik Erikson, doesn't stress this in child development and how it is evident that the stages described by him coincide with the amount and type of discipline suggested by Dr. Dobson. The first five stages of his psychosocial stages of development are between birth and nineteen years, roughly the childhood and adolescent years that will need the most discipline by the parents.
Outline:
Stage One: Trust versus Mistrust
Stage Two: Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt
Stage Three: Initiative versus Guilt
Stage Four: Industry versus Inferiority
Stage Five: Identity versus Role Confusion
From the Paper "Dr. James Dobson and Psychologist Erik Erikson both have interesting views concerning the sates that a child goes through and the discipline needed to successfully endure each one. Dr. Dobson's views mostly concern disciplining your child. Although another psychologist, Erik Erikson, doesn't stress this in child development, it is evident that the stages described by him coincide with the amount and type of discipline suggested by Dr. Dobson. The first five stages of his Psychosocial Stages of Development are between birth and nineteen years, roughly the childhood and adolescent years that will need the most discipline by the parents."
Abstract In this article, the writer provides an opening statement in defense of the actions of African-American Dr. Ossian Sweet. The writer explains that Dr. Sweet, a law-abiding citizen, was faced with open hostility from members of racist organizations like the Klu Klux Klan, who barraged the Sweet family with threats almost as soon as the family arrived in Detroit. The writer describes how throngs of hostile Whites mobbed his house one night, throwing stones. The writer raises the issue of self defense and notes that we live in a divided world, in a divided city where many people fear losing their jobs and thus perhaps are more apt to fear people who are different. The writer concludes by asking the jury to honor their duties to the law and to simple humanity, and to imagine themselves in Dr. Sweet's shoes.
From the Paper "Sweet was the grandson of lawbreakers--yes, run-away slaves, people for whom it was criminal to be free, people to whom this land should bow down and apologize for deferring the dream of freedom for yet another generation. Like his parents, Ossian Sweet believed that if only he worked hard, the American dream of success might be his, and that he might live free and proud, safe and secure in his own home. What more could any father want?"
"Sweet left the hated South, a Florida of lynchings and Jim Crow, and fled northward, as so many African-American have done, in search of greater opportunities. He dreamed and achieved the ultimate American dream of home ownership. But cruelly, in the Promised Land of the North, right here, in Detroit, he found only violence. Members of racist organizations like the Klu Klux Klan barraged the Sweet family with threats almost as soon as the family arrived."
The paper discusses the music and lyrics of rap artist "Dr. Dre" and their influence on rising rates of violence and alienation amongst American youth.
Abstract The writer examines the music of renowned rap artist, "Dr. Dre" and explores the relationship, if any, between the lyrics of "Dr. Dre" and other rap artists and the growing rates of violence, crime and alienation amongst America's teenagers. In addition, the writer catalogues arguments from both sides of the debate including the arguments of "Dr. Dre" and other prominent rap artists and those of public figures that see the music as a damaging influence on American youth.
From the Paper "When hip-hop music gained popularity in the early '70s, most people just responded to the music. Over time, however, the term "hip-hop" has evolved into a specific culture typified by performers with sagging, low-hanging, pants, hats to the back, laceless sneakers, hoods, and loud radios. Rap is now a part of this culture."
Abstract The paper considers "Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet" to be an extraordinary biographical film of the life and works of Dr. Paul Ehrlich. The paper discusses how the film shows the progression of science and medicine and how Dr. Ehrlich's perseverance, dedication and attitude makes him a hero to the medical field. The paper recommends this movie to anyone who wants to learn about some of the accomplishments that changed the field of medicine.
From the Paper "Dr Ehrlich's Magic Bullet is an extraordinary biographical film of the life and works of Dr Paul Ehrlich by director William Dieterle. The film begins in a German Hospital where Dr. Paul Ehrlich (played by Edward G Robinson) works as a physician. The very first patient in the movie has a contagious disease that will become extremely important near the end of the film. This film has many highs and lows as well as drama and climax. Throughout the film we not only see a progression of Dr. Ehrlich's life but a progression of science and medicine. By the end of the film the audience is left in awe of the amazing accomplishments that the doctor adds to the field of science and medicine."
Abstract Analysis of the play focusing on the character of the old man, and scholars in Dr. Faustus, and how they can be compared to saints and holy figures. Looks at the themes of redemption, eternal life and instant gratification and how these are connected to the character of Dr Faustus.
From the Paper "In Christopher Marlowe's play ?Dr. Faustus,? the reader or viewer is treated to a strange sight early on in the play. The central character, the scholar Dr. Faustus, is subjected to the cartoon-like debate of two characters upon his shoulders, that of a good angel and a bad angel. The good angel states that it is ?never too late if Faustus will repent.? The angel means if the Doctor repents of his evil decision to turn from God and make a deal with the devil for conjuring powers, he can still be saved. (2.1.82) However, the bad angel on Dr. Faustus? shoulder soon responds that it is too late, ?If thou repent devils will tear thee in pieces.? (2.1.83-83) This debate highlights the very clear dichotomy between good and evil set up quite early on in the moral economy of the play. However, as the play progresses these highly schematic characters begin to retreat in their importance, and instead the characters of the scholars of Wittenberg where Dr. Faustus dwells and a mysterious old man becomes more prominent in Faustus? conscience. Marlowe does not do this to make the drama seem either more realistic, as the language "Dr. Faustus" is quite heightened and surreal. Nor does the author do this to make the representations of good and evil seem more human, as most of even the human characters in the play are quite broadly drawn. Rather, Marlowe does this to suggest the nature of Dr. Faustus? dilemma."
Abstract Pride, anger, avarice, gluttony, sloth, lust, and envy all manifest themselves in Dr. Faustus throughout the play. Not only do they manifest themselves within the psychological understanding of the play, but the seven deadly sins also appear as characters in the plot. Through his use of the seven deadly sins, then, Marlowe is demonstrating the path to damnation in relation to the developing Christian theology of his day.
Abstract This paper discusses the moral and ethical issues of physician-assisted suicide by examining the case of Dr. Kevorkian. It discusses whether his acts were criminal or moral and whether the entire issue of euthanasia should be allowed in the medical profession.
From the Paper "Dr Kevorkian is known as Dr. Death. (Vonnegut, 1999) This benevolent, unassuming medic made it his lifelong ambition to allow those suffering from terminal disease to die with dignity. Dr. Kevorkian's role was limited to a point; the afflicted person administered the drugs themselves. But then in a demonstration of brazenness, on National TV, Dr. Kevorkian administered the drug to a patient himself. Dr. Death was convicted of first-degree murder and is now confined to a life sentences in a prison in Michigan."
Abstract To determine Dr. King's contributions and the source of this legacy, this paper provides an overview of this black leader and the Civil Rights Movement, the Civil Right Act of 1964, and Dr. King's receipt of the Nobel Prize, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper "Today, the influence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the American consciousness remains profound, and his legacy can be viewed in terms of just how far the Civil Rights Movement in the United States has progressed. A wide range of important laws and institutional practices have been changed as a direct result of Dr. King's efforts, but perhaps his most important contribution was in galvanizing national attention on the inherent inequalities that existed at the time by virtue of segregation and violent racism. Dr. King's ultimate impact on U.S. history continues to be weighed, but it is likely that no one would disagree that the social and legislative events that he helped to set in motion will have profound historical significance, and only future generations of Americans will be able to gauge the extent to which this great American helped to realize the American dream for all."
Abstract This paper discusses the rise and fall of Dr. Jack Kevorkian and traces it primarily to two factors: His familial heritage and the condition of being the child of a Holocaust survivor. The paper explores the family issue that combined medicine, a family profession in which Kevorkian was interested, as well as a macabre genre of medicine. The paper examines the psychology of Holocaust survivor children, explaining that this also presents a template on which Kevorkian could construct a helping role that nonetheless offered opportunities to indulge his narcissism.
From the Paper "Dr. Jack Kevorkian, also called Dr. Death in the popular press, has lived a life outside the normal bounds of society. Some might call him a hero; others might call him a psychopath. The truth is, of course, that a variety of factors shaped his actions, none of which automatically lead to heroics or psychopathology. In looking at the circumstances of Dr. Kevorkian's early life and family heritage, however, it is not difficult to understand how he embarked on his quest to change the way America looks at and deals with death, particularly death chosen by an individual for himself or herself."

Abstract This paper explains that Dr. Douglas Ubelaker states in "Bones: A Forensic Detective's Casebook" that human bones often can tell the trained scientist more about the individual, even an individual's geographic origin, lifestyle or occupation, than the friends or relatives ever could. The author points out that Dr Ubelaker credits the 33,000 individual skeletons housed in the Smithsonian with helping him in every forensic case described in the book. The paper relates that identifying remains is an arduous task and is often made more difficult when someone attempts to cover up the crime or the identity of the victim through such methods as fire.
From the Paper "One case early in the book is of a black woman who was discovered in rural Ohio. As is the case in this book, all that remained were bones. Race, approximate age and sex were first determined. Without available dental records or x-rays, a photograph of the possible victim was sent with the bones. At Smithsonian, Ubelaker compared the bones of the victim with bones in the museum. He was able to say with a great amount of certainty that the photograph was of that of the individual to whom the bones belonged."
