Abstract
This paper opens with a brief biographical profile of author and playwright Alan Richardson who is well known for his numerous publications on a wide variety of topics including: Gender issues and issues of race, colonialism as well as topics related to children. This paper examines the plot and characters in "Brodie the Broadsword" while discussing the author's unique style of writing. Richardson's play is set in an average Scottish community during the 16th century amid old castles and forts. This paper details the personality of the title character Brodie who, for the most part, has been wasting his life engaging in the trivial pursuits of looting and robbery. This paper cites the various scenes in the play which pay homage to Richardson's creative writing and comedic sense.
From the Paper
"The characters in 'Brodie the Broadsword' are all interesting and full of beans. Some of them are: Sir Archibald Brodie, who has been nicknamed 'the Broadsword', Sir Henry Milburn, the illustrious neighbor of Brodie Broadsword, Lady Kate, or rather, lady Catherine, the wife of Brodie, Ina, Lady Catherine's servant, Clarty Sim, the an-of arms of Brodie, Young Effie, another servant, Alison, the daughter of Brodie and Lady Catherine, Stephen Milburn, Sir Henry Milburn's son, and Kirsty Boyd, who is from the nearest village. As the play is set during the early sixteenth century, and close to the English border, which is where Brodie's castle is located, the language and the dress of the characters would be suited to the setting and the period. When Lady Kate starts off with making a very insightful comment about Brodie's deeds and misdeeds, by saying, "A fine mess Brodie's in this time", the audience gets a glimpse of the comedy that is yet to come during the course of the play."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the political aspects surrounding contraception and abortion in the 19th century. The author of this paper discusses the Comstock law which referred to the legislation introduced and passed by Anthony Comstock in 1870 that prohibited the mailing of birth control information and products. This paper also examines the foundation and impact of the anti-abortion movement in the United States.
From the Paper
"Beginning in the 1830s, Brodie found reproductive control became a commercial enterprise in the expanding market economy of Jacksonian America. Information about the safety, morality, and effectiveness of various methods became a part of public "discourse." The archives contain a wealth of advice published in books and pamphlets, an extraordinary diversity of advertisements for products, drugs and literature, of business and credit-rating records dealing with reproductive control entrepreneurs, of druggists' records and catalogs."

Abstract
The paper discusses Aboriginal ways of seeing the world. The paper uses two sources to illustrate its points - the film "Annajant: The Fast Runner" and "The Other Side of Eden" by Hugh Brody. The paper shows the way in which both sources show that there was Inuit society that was essentially based on a very strong relationship with nature.
From the Paper
"Aboriginal Ways of Seeing the World The film Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner is based on an ancient Inuit legend. Although the film is largely fictional it can provide a glimpse into traditional Inuit lives. Through the film we learn a great deal about family, cooperation, reliance on land and spiritual forces in Inuit societies. Although films from an Aboriginal perspective are a relatively recent occurrence, there has been a great deal of anthropological work done on Aboriginal people and hunter-gather societies. For example, The Other Side of Eden by Hugh Brody is an examination of both hunter gatherer and agricultural societies from an anthropological perspective."

Abstract
This paper provides a perspective on military strategy through review of the books ?The Soldier and the State? by Samuel Huntington and ?War and Politics? by Bernard Brodie which explain military preferences regarding decisions to go to war, when to escalate wars and how to prepare for war. It discusses the reasons for and why, the military makes decisions that are rooted in a strict code of adherence to an internal value system; a schematic designed primarily for the organizations continuity which in turn ultimately protects the state as a whole.
Outline
Overview of Military System and Preparation for War
Military Preference to go to War
Decision to Escalate Wars
What is a Military Man
Overview
From the Paper
"The JTF commander operates at the operational level and determines how he is going to accomplish the military strategic objectives, what resources are available and additional capabilities that may be required. He determines the operational objectives necessary to accomplish the mission. These decisions/plans are next transmitted to the tactical level?forces that actually do the fighting?the Army divisions, the Air Force expeditionary wings, the Navy?s carrier battle groups, and the Marine Expeditionary Forces (MEFs). This preparation commits the military to war. Once the forces are dedicated to the conflict often an unavoidable escalation occurs."

Abstract
This paper considers the potential positive or negative contributions that media giants have made in the developing world. The paper discusses how Western media giants have made overall positive contributions to the developing world and that the potential for the media to act as the broadsword of cultural imperialism is clear. Nonetheless, in the process of advancing their own agendas, media giants have inadvertently though sometimes purposefully helped promote positive values and development in the Third World.
From the Paper
"Transnational media corporations, such as Time Warner, Disney, and Google, have made dubious contributions to the developing world. There is a significant debate over whether or not the media has had a positive or negative effect upon Third World development. Proponents of capitalism and open trade argue that the media has worked to promote communication, provide new outlets for culture, and even assist in the democratization process of developing nations. Opponents of globalization and the media's role in it, however, argue the opposite. They would suggest that multimedia giants should not have free reign in the developing world. Their presence there amounts to cultural imperialism by the West. "
