Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech as presented in Mary Louise Pratt's essay "Arts of the Contact Zone." The paper gives a brief description of King's life and the impact his speech had on the civil rights movement. The reviewer defines Pratt's term "autoethnographic text" which was used in the essay to describe the speech. The paper then outlines and analyzes King's speech, using quotations. The paper concludes by stating that King felt black and white Americans had far more commonalities than differences.

From the Paper
"Martin Luther King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963, during a massive march calling for black civil rights. King was a Baptist minister who worked tirelessly for civil rights until his assassination in 1968. King's speech helped mobilize the black community to work for civil rights and helped show the white community just what blacks faced in terms of segregation, bigotry, and prejudice. It also is an excellent example of the art of the contact zone - specifically how different groups can view the same experience with very different eyes."

From the Paper
"These revenues that are generated in a direct or indirect manner by the professional athletes like Emmitt Smith also are an example of how important they are in the realm of the current trends towards globalization for both business and cultural views of the world. "One specific focus of these debates is whether or not the new international economic, national, and cultural alliances, in conjunction with an ever-expanding mediascape, are contributing to a standardized, homogenized, and globally shared culture. The emergent, simulated cultural space and experience, which are largely, but not exclusively, driven by the machinations of American-mediated popular culture, are seemingly demonstrated by the universal presence of commodity-signs such as CNN, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Nike, Baywatch, the Disney Corporation, the NBA, and the focus of our analysis, Michael Jordan. While it would be a mistake to deny the global ubiquity of this ever-expanding economy of cultural artifacts, it would be equally erroneous to suggest that an increased circulation of commodity-signs inevitably leads to the creation of globally homogeneous or "Americanized" patterns of popular cultural existence."

From the Paper
"Another important cultural, and legal, consideration in Saudi Arabia is Shariah, or Shari'ah, or alternatively Sharia: Islamic Law. Islamic law is based on the principles of moral, ethical and religious conduct as outlined in the Koran. Siddiqi describes Shari'ah as: "The value system of Islam provides guidelines for all aspects of human behaviour, including economic, legal, political, social, material, cultural and moral affairs, contained in the Shari'ah..." ("Banking" par.1). The general importance of Shari'ah can not be discounted because it has a profound impact on the business, financial and banking industries in Saudi Arabia."

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of writing in the contact zone, where the writer incorporates the individual's culture. To illustrate these points, "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" by Gloria Anzaldua is discussed as an example of writing in the contact zone. The paper begins by discussing the problems seen in Anzaluda's piece, followed by a discussion of the benefits of the piece and why they are so important. The writer believes that the benefits of writing in the contact zone far outweighs the risks involved.

From the Paper
"The first risk of writing in the contact zone is that the writing style will alienate readers, creating the situation where the only individuals that find meaning in the piece are those with the same culture. Anzaldua does take this risk with "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" by writing in a style that does make it a challenge to understand. One of the most noticeable factors is the mixing of English and Spanish. The following two sentences are an example of how she mixes the two languages, "Even our own people, other Spanish speakers nos quieren poner candados en la boca."

Abstract
This paper offers a review of "The Grey Zone," a film directed by Tim Blake Nelson. The paper describes Miklos Nyiszli's memoir, Auschwitz: A Doctor's Eyewitness Account, as a harrowing, barely readable eyewitness account of the horrors of Auschwitz in 1944. The book is not literature, but rather the apparently honest account of an active - albeit unwilling - participant in the horrors of the camp. Nyiszli wrote the book immediately after the war. The 2001 film The Grey Zone, directed by Tim Blake Nelson, is loosely based on Nyiszli's book. While both provide some insight into the reality of Auschwitz, and both deserve some respect as Holocaust literature, the paper argues that the two differ significantly in their portrayal of the reality of the gas chambers and crematoriums of Auschwitz.

Abstract
This paper examines how in Primo Levi's last book, "The Drowned and the Saved", he seeks to find meaning and understanding in his experience in the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz. It looks at how he introduces the "Gray Zone" where internal collaboration between inmates and Nazis becomes the only way of survival. This paper critically analyzes the "Gray Zone" and the Nazis as "enemies of memory" who strategically aimed at destroying the souls of dissidents.

From the Paper
"The second and longest essay focuses on the "Gray Zone," where the relationship between victim and oppressor is blurred and deemed incomparable to any other traumatic experience. Levi is captivated by the feelings of guilt and shame experienced by survivors and disapproves popular romantic notions of liberation that were not experienced by survivors. Furthermore, logical explanations for feelings of guilt and shame are unfounded and as Levi points out, this burden illustrates the morbid oppression implemented by the Nazis, which led to many suicides, a thought that was completely absent and incomprehensible while in the Lager. Levi's own internal conflict is revealed in the third chapter: "I felt innocent, yes, but enrolled among the saved and therefore in permanent search of a justification in my own eyes and those of others. The worst survived, that is, the fittest; the best all died" (82). Although survival depended mostly on sheer luck and coincidence, some prisoners created their own good fortune in collaborating with the Nazis. "

Abstract
This paper summarizes and analyzes the novel "End Zone" by Don DeLillo, examining how DeLillo, using wit and sarcasm, explains what nuclear war and college football have in common.

From the Paper
"Harkness, the narrator of this morality tale, played football because he was expected to become the sports hero his father could not be. Like he tells the reader, his failed father had ambitions for him, just to prove that the seed was not impoverished. Harkness, himself, was a transfer from the University of Miami, and we immediately notice something odd about him. He enjoyed reading about nuclear war and the deaths of millions. There was something he himself could not understand, even as he went to the library to get more books on the subject of nuclear war. When he left Miami and went home, his Father persuaded an influential Michigan State alumnus to get him into that University. The point was, then, to escape the draft. But, when he convinced the MSU people he could follow orders, he was accepted, played football, and was involved in a vicious tackle that killed an opposing player."

Abstract
This paper points out the weaknesses and the strengths of Richard Preston's book about emerging infectious diseases. The paper points out that "The Hot Zone" provides mainstream audiences with an effective introduction to modern emerging infectious diseases, but sometimes, the novel's serious inaccuracies and exaggerations damage a complex public understanding of the topic.

From the Paper
"The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston, improves mainstream audience's understanding of emerging infectious disease, and yet damages the positive impact of this exposure by introducing known inaccuracies and exaggerations. Preston's book is largely well-written, entertaining, and accessible. While much of the book is well-researched and scientifically accurate, inaccuracies include Preston's claim that a single mutation may cause Ebola to mutate into a much more infectious airborne agent, sensationalism about the importance of the Ebola virus, ethical judgments about the emergence of rainforest viruses, and a misleading representation of viruses as predators. Despite these inaccuracies, The Hot Zone is important to public science education as a way to introduce readers to concepts within the field of emerging diseases. From this point, scientists can use The Hot Zone as a springboard to introducing other concepts within the field of emerging diseases. Ultimately, while inaccuracies and sensationalism damage the public's understanding of the topic of emerging diseases, The Hot Zone, provides mainstream audiences with an effective introduction to modern emerging infectious disease."
