Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses Agent Orange which was a red-orange 50-50 liquid mixture of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The writer notes that American and Allied Forces soldiers recalled Agent Orange as a red liquid dropping from jungle leaves, which soaked their uniforms as they went on patrol. The writer explains that its purpose was to defoliate trees and remove the enemies' jungle cover in Vietnam. The writer also notes that this deadly liquid is now known to be responsible for a wide range of ailments, including disabilities and death, to an estimated 2.6 million Vietnam veterans and their offspring. The writer concludes that it has been more than 30 years since the use of these herbicides and that it was past the time for full and open disclosure of the hard facts in this regard.
From the Paper
"Federal authorities first became aware of the condition in 1979 when the Veterans Affairs offered health care and medical examination to the veterans. The medical surveillance program was meant to review the veterans' health concerns. The VA examined 334,000 of the 3.4 million veterans and registered the findings in a computer database. The VA has an Advisory Committee on Health-Related Effects of the Herbicides, established in 1979 to record and evaluate the health effects of the herbicides used in Vietnam by the soldiers. The VA also set up the Veterans' Advisory Committee on Environmental Hazards, composed of non-VA experts on dioxin and radiation exposure. Its duty was to advise on the outcomes of activities surrounding the use of Agent Orange. A 1991 federal law directed the VA to ask the National Academy of Sciences to or NAS to review the diseases linked to herbicide exposure."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of Agent Orange on Vietnam Veterans. The nature and use of Agent Orange will be discussed and its physical and psychological effects characterized.
The use of herbicides to kill vegetation for military purposes was begun by the Romans as early as 300 B.C. Their practice was to spread salt on the grazing and farm lands of enemies in order to diminish their food supply. Herbicidal warfare remained primitive until after the Second World War when chemicals came into use (Strum 10-11). The war in Vietnam, however, saw the first massive attempt to remove enemy cover as well as to destroy food supplies in the form of Operation Ranch Hand (1961-1971). The principal chemicals used in this effort were commonly known as Agent White, Agent Blue and Agent Orange, ... "

Abstract
A critical analysis of the controversial novel, "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess. The writer examines the issues of morality vs humanity and how the character in "A Clockwork Orange" manages to swing back and forth from good to bad. The paper examines how this piece of literature still manages to shock people until today because people are amazed at how much they can identify with the main character.
From the Paper
"Throughout history authors have used their works to explore various aspects of society. One of the most controversial yet analyzed works of literature in history is, A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess. The work has inspired and provoked many literary conversations around the world, and treated its readers to a uniquely brutal look at the dark side of human nature. In A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess portrays how man deals with conflict, which leads to the understanding and acceptance of differences through the use of conflict, theme, and philosophy."

"Sleeper" and "Clockwork Orange", 2004.
An analysis and comparison of the seemingly very different movies, "Sleeper" and "A Clockwork Orange".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how on the surface, the two movies "Sleeper" and "A Clockwork Orange" have absolutely nothing in common. One is a comedy fraught with amusing skits, while the other lacks any such light moments and is not an easy movie to watch. However, this paper shows that both movies are unarguably political in nature, and their themes are darker than they appear to be. They deal with subjects that are at once controversial and significant. What the government tells us may not always be true, and ?politics is indeed a dirty game?, are the two important themes that emerge from "Sleeper" and "A Clockwork Orange".
From the Paper
"There is an element of deception in illustration of stories, which might make the movies appear simpler than they actually are but for regular moviegoers, it is easy to unearth the darker undertones. For some odd reason, both movies leave you with a negative feeling and a heavy heart despite Allen?s movie being a comedy. Its slapstick humor fails to remove the thick clouds of political messages that are bombarded at the viewer and similarly Clockwork Orange doesn?t even attempt to mitigate the heavy impact. It wants you to see the movie in its true light and understand the gravity of its messages."

Abstract
The novel, "A Clockwork Orange," by Anthony Burgess, is quite intriguing and also a little strange. It speaks of a world where violence lurks just around the corner and where large amounts of crime take place on a nightly basis. In this story, some people simply seem to do as they please without questioning whether their actions are right or wrong. This does not just occur in the story, but it also happens in real life. This is so because people have the power to choose. In other words, people have free will. Along with the power to choose, people also possess flaws in their character, which can have a very negative affect on a person's life. This paper discusses how Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange" is a story about a boy and his downfall, overconfidence, love of classical music, and the importance of free will.
From the Paper
"The narrator's second downfall, which becomes obvious by the end of this passage and chapter, is his love for classical music. When Alex is inside the old woman's house, he suddenly sees a bust of "Ludwig van himself," which becomes the sole focus of his attention for a moment (Orange 62). This shows how the protagonist's passion for music distracts him so much that he slips on the milk saucers and falls down. When this happens, the old lady takes her chance and begins to hit him. The struggle between Alex and the old woman gives the police enough time to arrive and for Alex to be arrested. This is a perfect example, and there are many more throughout the story, of how the narrator's love of music disrupts what he is trying to accomplish. This particular downfall is partially the reason he ends up in prison."

"A Clockwork Orange": The Original Punk, 2006.
A social analysis and comparison of the Anthony Burgess novel "A Clockwork Orange" and the 1971 film version to the punk rock movement.

Abstract
This is a comparison and contrast paper on the work of author Anthony Burgess and the film of Stanley Kubrick in "A Clockwork Orange" to the early 1970s movement in punk rock. In the film, the main character, an anti-social "punk" named Alex, is as memorable for his unique and exaggerated appearance as he is for his horrible behavior and crimes. In particular, the paper compares the novel/film main character of Alex, to "The Sex Pistols'" Sid Vicious.
From the Paper
"A Clockwork Orange has received little, if any, credit for either ushering in, or serving as the original concept for all things "punk." Rather, that distinction has gone to the Sex Pistols; although it is easy to visualize Sid Vicious and girlfriend Nancy Spungen lounging in a drug induced and wasted way in an expensive hotel room, appropriately trashed to punk pleasure by the pair, watching Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. However, the horror and disgust of the Burgess/Kubrick character was played out on screen, not in life, as were the misguided antics of Sid Vicious. "

Northern Ireland as an 'Orange State', 2005.
Questions whether Northern Ireland was an 'Orange State' between 1920 and 1972.
1,188 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that Northern Ireland was very much an Orange State between the years 1920 and 1972. It shows that both the composition of the government and the gerrymandering that enforced it guaranteed a Protestant monopoly on power. In addition to lacking proportional political representation, Catholics were controlled through the Special Powers Act and other selectively enforced legislation that was virtually never applied to Protestant activities. The paper is nationalistic in tone.
From the Paper
"By the end of 1920, the Specials were established. Membership overlapped with the UVF and the notorious B-specials (disbanded 1967) even retained the UVF's hierarchical structure. Although state security forces, as well as British forces, often acted in a partisan fashion, there was little alternative for another kind of force. Republicans could not be trusted in such a job and non-republican Catholics were unlikely to have been interested due to community pressure. When the police force finally did impose quotas for Catholic membership (after the period in question), Catholics applied in much smaller numbers."

Abstract
This paper exanmines how "The Orange-Man" or "The Honest Boy and the Thief" by Maria Edgeworth is a representation of childhood, because it shows the importance of teaching values and responsibilities to children. It also looks at how John Locke believed in the importance of discipline and teaching children values and responsibility at an early age and how combining Edgeworth and Locke in an analysis of their work shows how they believed teaching values.

Abstract
This analysis of Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange" focuses on the character of Alex and his "badness." The argument presented suggests Alex's "badness" stems mostly from a repressive state that uses violent measures to control its citizens which undermines the capacity for free will.
From the Paper
"There are a number of explanations for Alex's badness that can be offered after a reading of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange. One explanation could be that his dysfunctional family motivates him to express his frustration..."

Abstract
This paper discusses "A Clockwork Orange: The Visions of Anthony Burgess and Stanley Kubrick". The paper suggests that while the original and the screen adaptation both masterfully capture the troubled and violent life of Alex de Large, both versions do have some strong variations on points of emphasis that a person familiar with both will most certainly vividly notice.
From the Paper
"A Clockwork Orange: The Visions of Anthony Burgess and Stanley Kubrick As an example of Twentieth Century Novel writing and Cinema, A Clockwork Orange stands as a classic in both genres. While the original and the screen adaptation both masterfully capture the troubled and violent life of Alex de Large, both versions do have some strong variations on points of emphasis that a person familiar with both will most certainly vividly notice. On the other hand, if an individual were to only experience one and not the other, the basic thematic structure would still be experienced from either work in itself."

Abstract
This paper examines examples of operant conditioning in "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess. The paper discusses those examples in terms of Burgess?s interpretations, as well as in relation to behavioral psychology as a whole. The paper presents Burgess's view of operant conditioning and behavioral psychology as a dangerous, deadly pursuit of sameness and control over mankind.
From the Paper
"First, it is important to discuss what is meant by conditioning. In the mid-twentieth century, psychologist B.F. Skinner, in the footsteps of such scientists as Pavlov and Watson, sought to examine ways to achieve the ideal society. According to Skinner, the way to achieve this was through the restriction of personal freedoms through behavior modification. This modification included the use of systematic rewards or punishments, and the use of those rewards and punishments with behavior association. As Skinner described, humans could be modified to act in specific ways by encouraging those behaviors through rewards. Conversely, humans could be just as easily manipulated away from given behaviors through the use of punishments. If the stimuli were presented consistently in association with any given behavior, Skinner theorized, those behaviors would become intertwined with the stimuli (Zimmer, 1999)."
