Summary
From the Paper
"Preceding all of the actions that began with Popeye and Bluto's physical fight and climaxing in the death of Bluto at the hands of Olive, under Code 20, lies the Duty of Retreat, which holds that when there was a possibility for a verbal argument to escalate into physical fight, Popeye had the obligation to remove himself from the situation, as did Olive. When neither elected to do so, however, there was a violation of the New York Penal Code, leading to the consideration of their guilt or innocence."

The paper examines the Tai Ping Rebellion and the Boxer Rebellion in China.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at two rebellions in Chinese history; the Tai Ping Rebellion, which was a rebellion of religious fanatics seeking to overthrow the traditional culture of China, and the Boxer Rebellion, which, although religious based, sought to rid the country of European influence. The paper examines the history behind the Tai Ping movement that led it to rebellion, the damage it caused and how it was squashed. However, it also shows how Taiping leaders adopted many policies that would later become the marks of modernizers in China. The Boxer Rebellion, on the other hand, was neither a rebellion or a war against the Europeans, since it was limited to only a few places. By 1901, the imperial government was forced to agree to the humiliating terms of the Boxer Protocol, under which European powers got the right to maintain military forces in the capital. The Boxer Protocols established a new course of reform for China.
From the Paper
"While China was involved in conflicts with Europeans during the Opium War, it was also convulsed by a number of rebellions during the mid-century, including the rebellion in Nien, 1853-1858, where several Muslim rebellions in the southwest and northwest, and especially the Taiping rebellion, resulted in devastating consequences for China. The Taiping rebellion alone lasted for twenty years, leading to some thirty million deaths, in fact, from 1850 to 1873, the rebellion, together with drought and famine caused the Chinese population to drop by over sixty million people, a truly tragic period for China. The Taiping rebellion was an internal disturbance instigated by Hung Hsiu-ch'uan, who possessed a unique mix of European and Chinese cultural. He was the son of a poor farmer near Canton, who had visions which led him to believe that he was sent by God to earth in order to eradicate the demons. After studying under a Baptist minister, Hung and some followers formed a new religious sect called the God Worshippers, dedicated to the destruction of idols in the region around Canton. He believed that the Manchu rulers were the main propagators of demon worship and that to overthrow them would help bring in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. During the late 1840's, Hung reorganized his movement into a military organization, and began to build a treasury, consolidate forces, and store up weapons. In December 1850, he was attacked by government forces, and successfully defeated them, and the following year declared that the Kingdom of Heavenly Peace at been established with himself as the Heavenly King, thus the era of the Taiping or Great Peace began."

From the Paper
"The Boxer Rising: A History of the Boxer Trouble in China is an interesting book which contains reprinted newspaper articles from the Shanghai Mercury. The collection was first published in 1900, and the articles constitute direct evidence of the events as written by newspaper reporters at the time of the events depicted. The picture that emerges is immediate, as if the reader were on the scene, must as if he or she had just picked up the morning paper and read about events taking place up the block. The book can serve as a primary source for information about the Boxer Rebellion and shows the attitudes of the society of Shanghai at the time. The book does not have the distance of history, however, and therefore any interpretation of the events should be undertaken with more data than can be provided from newspaper reports written in the heat of the moment, with all the..."

Harry Sylvester's "I Won't Do No Dive", 2007.
A literary analysis of Harry Sylvester's short story, "I Won't Do No Dive", about a down-on-his-luck boxer.
845 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Harry Sylvester's "I Won't Do No Dive" represents the cultural phenomenon of the fixing of boxing matches, which is commonly told in sports-themed literature and Hollywood screen plays. The author points out that, even the incorrect phrasing of the term, "I won't do no dive", is a deliberate double-negative, familiar as both the text of a boxer who won't deliberately lose a match and as a double-negative that resonates of the poor English of a boxer growing up in a rough area and enduring many battles in his attempted climb to the top. The paper relates that match fixing provides for an interesting literary device by creating a complicated dilemma, which underscores the importance of honesty and competition in sport and how the corruption of these mottos commonly debases it.
From the Paper
"The era in which the story was written (the 1930s) also has literary implications, as we witness the rough-and-tumble surrounds of a struggling boxer in the earlier part of the twentieth century. The characters speak in the incorrect English of a rough area in a bygone era - which is not specified, but his again is a good literary device: we romanticize the era and the place, perhaps imagining a rough, no-holds-barred Brooklyn, where even the rough, down-on-their-luck crowd have dreams of boxing and making it big."

Abstract
This briefing evaluates the pros and cons of open-source software and provides a recommendation to management at the Sigma Corporation regarding open-source strategies. While Sigma has developed a sound information technology (IT) infrastructure and employs a highly skilled IT staff, increasing IT costs have caused the company to examine ways to reduce IT expenses without affecting the effectiveness of the IT program. It defines open-source whereby the product is distributed with the source code. There are risks associated with open-source. The process is not quite mature, so users assume some risk in using these products. Open-source comes with no warranties and no maintenance agreements. A more detailed summary of the pros and cons of open-source is found in this briefing. The paper concludes that open-source is a viable and wise option for Sigma and outlines a strategy for moving the company in that direction.
From the Paper

Who Killed Benny Paret?, 2001.
An analysis of an 1962 essay by Norman Cousins on who killed the boxer, Benny Paret.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper studies the essay written by Norman Cousins in 1962 about who was responsible for the death of then famous boxer, Benny Paret. It looks at the dangers of boxing as a blood sport and questions whether wider social circles were to blame for his death.
From the Paper
"In his 1962 essay "Who Killed Benny Paret?", Norman Cousins makes a strong argument against the propriety - and the morality - of professional boxing. He backs up his statement with quotes from an interview he did nearly three decades before he wrote this essay as well as facts from the then-recent death of boxer Benny Paret. Although the essay is a compelling argument about the physical dangers of boxing to participants and the moral dangers of boxing to those who watch the sport, the essay would be even more effective if it were not quite so repetitive and if the events that he is writing about were better known to today's readers."

"History in Three Keys", 2007.
A review of Paul A. Cohen's "History in Three Keys" about the Boxer Rebellion.
1,442 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that the Boxer Rebellion took place from 1898-1900, in Northern China and was waged between ordinary, lower class native Chinese peasants against the foreign missionaries. The paper explains that Cohen's book is more of a history as to how the rebellion has been interpreted, than it is of the immediate implications of the event itself and its aftermath. The paper discusses how Cohen's ideas are useful in terms of how to approach history, particularly historical events that have become especially fraught with meaning in modern culture, way beyond their immediate impact.
From the Paper
"Paul Cohen is a professor of East Asian history with an openly postmodern orientation. The title of the book refers to Cohen's understanding of the rebellion as an event that can be viewed with a series of lenses, rather than a singular historian's lens. The rebellion is an event, experience and also a myth. Significantly, Cohen does not refer to any specific detail about the rebellion in his title; he is more concerned with describing his three-keyed approach to understanding the Boxers, rather than referring to the Boxers themselves. Even the name, the Boxer rebellion, is polluted to some extent in Cohen's eyes, because the idea of the Boxers has become so subject to political influences of people with agendas beyond mere understanding."

From the Paper
"In the fifty-eighth year of the reign of the Emperor Qianlong, emissaries from a remote and obscure princeling somewhere off across the South Sea were politely received at the Imperial Court in what is now Beijing. Such embassages were not common, but they were not entirely unknown. If it was judged convenient to do so, a foreign ruler might acknowledge the formal overlordship of the Emperor as ruler of All Under Heaven, in turn for which his people would be permitted to enter trade relations, and encouraged to learn the arts and manners of civilization from an empire that had been the supreme embodiment of these things for three thousand years.
The princeling's emissaries offered examples of their own manufactures and other products. The manufactures were acknowledged to be ingenious, but it was less obvious that they..."
