Abstract
This paper looks at this book which provides an in-depth study of anti-Semitism through the ages. It shows how the essenstial idea of anti-Semitism was the same at different periods in history but its style and form changed. It shows how at some stages it was based on religious reasons, others on economic reasons while some times simply on fear of the "other". It also looks at the most recent type of anti-Semitism in the form of anti-Zionism.
From the Paper
"Part One of this book is entitled ?From the Cross to the Swastika.? This section begins in antiquity with the roots of anti-Semitism beginning in Hellenistic times in Greece and later in ancient Rome. The Jewish Diaspora in the Hellenistic world is described as the Jewish persistence at maintaining their own monotheistic faith, keeping dietary restrictions in accordance with that faith, their disassociation with Gentiles and their contention that the Jewish faith was made up of God?s chosen ones (Wistrich, 4). Greek literature includes passages that express anti-Semitic attitudes against the exclusivity that the Jews themselves created. The reaction of the Hellenistic people was that the Jewish people?s wish to remain separate from their culture was best translated into an expression of ?hatred of the gods? (Wistrich, 5)."

Abstract
This paper examines how in "Medieval Stereotypes and Modern Antisemitism", Robert Chazan addresses the complexities of modern antisemitism within a broader historical context. It looks at how he notes in his introduction, that critical analyses of antisemitism and anti Judaism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries confidently rooted these prejudices within the complex political and religious relations of medieval Christian Europe. However the Nazi Holocaust of the twentieth century compelled a radical revision of these earlier assumptions with many commentators arguing that modern antisemitism must be dissociated from the anti Judaism of medieval Europe.

Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts the two works, "Race Matters" by Cornel West and "The Souls of Black Folk" by W.E.B. DuBois, focusing on the similarity of black experience nearly 100 years apart. The paper discusses the theme of hatred in these two works and looks at whether blacks and whites can learn more understanding and tolerance. The paper explains that Du Bois seems optimistic this can occur, but West, writing in modern times, is more convinced that nothing but hatred and misunderstanding will exist between blacks and whites for the foreseeable future.
From the Paper
"Hatred has marked the black experience in America since southern planters first imported slaves into the country. For many years, the whites hated and distrusted the blacks, and yet relied on them for their manual labor. Later, the hatred translates into distrust on both sides. Author W.E.B. Du Bois notes, "With other black boys the strife was not so fiercely sunny: their youth shrunk into tasteless sycophancy, or into silent hatred of the pale world about them and mocking distrust of everything white.""

Cold Hatred, 2007.
A discussion of "Where is the Voice Coming From?" by Eudora Welty.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Eudora Welty introduces her readers to the mind of a sociopath killer in her short story "Where is the Voice Coming From?". The paper discusses how the author strikingly illustrates the anatomy of racial hatred. The paper examines the short story that is a chilling account of a cold and calculated murder set in the South during the 1960s; the murder of a black man who had been campaigning for equal rights in the town of Thermopylae. The paper shows how the story is written in first person from the killer's perspective, without divulging his name, to allow Welty to retain a sense of moral distance from the character, who deserves no humanization or sympathy that a name would confer.
From the Paper
"The narrator is a resentful, spiteful man who murders Roland Summers because he hates seeing African-Americans achieving economic parity with whites, let alone superceding poor whites in the South. Throughout "Where is this Voice Coming From," the narrator reveals his resentful attitude. He says that the black man lives "pretty close to where I live," emphasis on the "I" to emphasize his hatred for simply living in the same region as black people. The narrator's resentment grows deeper and becomes more directly connected to economic parity. For example, he states, "his street's been paved," refers to his "new white car," and his "paved driveway.""

Religious war is not something new to our generation, but it can be seen in many nations in today's world and the history of religious wars have been written about in magazines, scholarly journals and even on the Internet.

The paper discusses how Ryan has narrated and described the individual, as well as collective acts of heroism in this book which sold over four million copies worldwide.
From the Paper
"The author provided factual information and not based on any bias. He interviewed over 1,000 individuals who took part in the event on that day, and gave their personal experiences and perspective that together flawlessly leave his readers thoroughly absorbed. However, there were few stories of heroism, which those that took part has been considered just normal, but to the younger generations it does to some extent seem to be unreal making the book so fascinating.
Contrasting some authors of more recent, Ryan does not become entangled in regurgitation of numbers as for him the most vital aim was to get this story across in the world in forms of the words of those people who actually comprehended and recognized as to what happened that day where one of the great interest in the book as how the book concludes as well as the kind of jobs of those who were interviewed in 1959."

Abstract
The paper introduces the book, "America's Longest War: United States and Vietnam 1950-1975", by George C. Herring. Specifically, it discusses three topics from Chapter 6 and then explains each according to what the author writes. It also looks at how the Vietnam War is being compared increasingly to the current war with Iraq and how, as this chapter clearly shows, there are many reasons for the comparison. It shows how President Johnson began fighting an uphill battle as public opinion about the war began to swing against it, just as President Bush is facing growing opposition to the war with Iraq.
From the Paper
""The President's Decisions." President Johnson, partly on advice from such advisers as Clifford, Westmoreland, and Bunker, decided in late 1967 that new forces should not be sent to South Vietnam, and the country should be more prepared to fight on its own. The author writes, "Johnson's advisers agreed that from a long-range standpoint the key to achieving American objectives was south Vietnam's ability to stand on its own" (Herring 239). By early 1968, the President had informed South Vietnam that we would continue to send assistance and equipment, but "limited manpower." During this time, President Johnson also agreed, heavily leaning on the advice of Dean Rusk, that bombing in Vietnam should be cut back, and peace talks should open again with the North Vietnamese. It seems that many of the President's decisions were based on guidance from his closest advisors, and somewhat on public opinion."

The Longest Trials in the World, 2008.
A discussion of five trials that violated the right to a "speedy trial" guaranteed to all U.S. citizens by the Constitution.
2,007 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper sets out to show that the legal right of a U.S. citizen to a "speedy trial," as set forth in Amendment VI of the Bill of Rights, cannot be guaranteed. Using the four questions set by the Supreme Court to define to a certain extent what is meant by "speedy," the writer examines five cases where the trial dragged out from over a year to more than six years, including sentencing, due to causes such as justice court appeals, Supreme Court appeals, carelessness, and mistrials. The last case examined is that of O.J. Simpson, which took place after the Speedy Trial Act of 1974. The writer concludes therefore that the right to a "speedy trial" is not as easy to uphold as it may sound.
From the Paper
"The last case in which an accused felon did not receive the right to a speedy trial was the trial of The People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson. O.J. asked for a speedy trial so that the prosecution would be as unprepared as possible. This may have helped to acquit O.J., for the prosecution was not prepared for its proof such as the DNA test. Also, there were delays with the trial itself. In the jural selection, two of the remaining 12 (supposed to be in the trial) were released from the panel. So, instead of twelve jurors, there were only ten."

"The Longest Day" vs. "Saving Private Ryan", 2002.

Abstract
The comparison of two WWII movies and how they are both very important in teaching the history of what "The Greatest Generation" did for us and freedom.
From the Paper
"For my assignment, I have chosen to compare, contrast, and review two of my favorite war movies. As a historical preservationist, I enjoy watching movies relating to American and world history ? but I also have a bad habit of scrutinizing them for errors. Is the character wearing the correct uniform? Did that really take place or was it made up for the movie? I felt that these two movies, which both dealt with the time around June 6, 1944 (D-Day), would be a good pair to look at from the old Hollywood style and the new ?television age and beyond? movie style."

Abstract
This paper examines Amy Chua's discussion on how markets, democracy and ethnic hatred lead to genocide among minority groups within national social orders as expressed in her work, "World on Fired: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability". The paper explains Chua's contention that as nations have attempted to open their markets to free trade the wealth of these countries has been allocated to a specific population that fails to meet the needs of the impoverished within society. As this occurs there is a rising hatred among the citizenry who comprise the majority of the population who seek out those in the minority and slaughter those of the oppressing class.

Abstract
This paper defines the terms race, ethnicity and diversity and applies them to racial hatred in America. The paper refers to the movie, "American History X", Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Declaration on Independence, and the Brown vs. Board of Education on Topeka case. The paper talks about how people learn to hate and why people who have racial hatred are flawed in their reasoning for it. It explores why we would should not hate, especially in a place like America and how it goes against all the values Americans hold dear. This paper also addresses the issue of terrorism.
From the Paper
"In American History X, Derek Vinyard was overwhelmed with hatred against all people of another race or ethnicity. He had a hatred against any expression of diversity. Race and ethnicity are simply words used to describe characteristics of people, and diversity is the word used to talk about the differences in these characteristics. Race, ethnicity, and diversity are just words and descriptions; they do not express the character of a person which it what really matters. Race is drawn essentially among color lines and color does not say much about a person. Race concerns the differing physical characteristics between people whose ancestors stem from different geographical origins. The three main races of the world are the Caucasian who are originally European and have white skin, the Negroid race, which originated in Africa and have black skin, and the Mongoloid race that has skin that falls somewhere between black and white. Race can also describe differences in facial features, body size, limb proportion, skull measurements, and hair color."

Introduction
Thesis
Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ethnic stereotypes have been a powerful subject for theatre because of the emotional and psychological effects that it produces in the readers. Often ethnic stereotypes have been portrayed in various forms which have been helpful to identify and expose the social maladies present in the society. Perhaps the reason why social stereotypes have been described in various manners is that it often brings out different perspectives of racial discrimination and the responses of the affected groups towards racial distinction. The play Funnyhouse of a Negro by Adrienne Kennedy is an effort in this direction and describes the mental and emotional stress that the central character, Sarah has to undergo because of her mixed lineage."

"American Imperialism as a Cause of September 11?
Perhaps the two most frequently asked questions after the terrorist attacks of September 11, were "Why do these people hate America so?" and "Are we somehow partially to blame for inciting terrorists?" There are no simple, pat answers. But, scanning some of the letters to the editors in this weeks TIME Magazine (Oct 22) might shed some light on the issue:
"The problem is that U.S. citizens have little reciprocal feeling for U.S. engineered human tragedy elsewhere. The U.S. needs to be aware that even among the countries is considers its subordinates and even within affluent nations the U./S. considers its compliant..."
