Against Bull Fighting
Response Paper Indicating Type of Fallacy and Argument: For Bull Fighting
From the Paper
"People who criticize bullfighting disrespect tradition and by discrediting customs, they hope to achieve globalization and the deletion of what is specific to each nation. (guilt by association) Perhaps my arguments are in vain since most protesters are American, and Americans do not know much about traditions. (hasty generalization) Also, I find it a bit ironic that a nation that was born only a few centuries ago can criticize Spain who was an immensely wealthy and advanced state at the time when America was being discovered. Moreover, the fact that America has virtually no authentic universal customs or traditions does not give it the right to criticize others for having a cultural background which they want to preserve.

Minoan Bull-Leaping, 2007.
An analysis of Minoan bull-leaping as an act of human sacrifice.

Abstract
This paper argues that bull-leaping was not an intentional act of human sacrifice, but rather a highly prestigious, overtly religious ritual undertaken by the Minoan elite. It describes bull-leaping as depicted in archaeological evidence, explores to what extent the practice could have resembled the artistic depictions of the act and analyses the danger and possibility of performing such a feat. The paper also considers the controversial evidence of "human sacrifice" at the Anemospilia temple; looks at the other violent sports practiced by the Minoans; emphasises the religious significance of bull-leaping and discusses the necessary skill of the bull-leapers themselves.
From the Paper
"That the Minoans practised human sacrifice was a possibility introduced following the grisly findings at the Anemospilia temple. Inside the temple ruins was, as Castleden1 (1990, 168-73) describes, the remains of a young man, with his legs tightly folded up, upon what appears to have been a sacrificial table. A long bronze blade was found beside him. The excavators, Y. Sakellarakis and E. Sapouna-Sakellaraki, proposed that the youth was sacrificed in order to avert the impending earthquake which destroyed the temple. Castleden not only maintains that human sacrifice was performed in this instance, he insists that it would have been an integral religious practise - enacted on many more occasions. He pushes the concept of the Minoans hidden 'shadow side' - mentioning several other examples."

From the Paper
"Dietrich Mateschitz originally came up with the idea for his energy beverage in 1984, after traveling to Asia and discovering the popularity of energy drinks in some areas (A new market, 2007). Mateschitz brought several samples back to Austria and after three long years developed his own version involving both medical research and scientific testing (Brunnen, 2007).
"It was "this period (that) saw the birth of the product positioning 'Red Bull vitalizes body and mind' and the unique slogan 'Red Bull gives you wiings!'" (A new market, 2007). First launched in Austria, in 1992, it was then quickly rolled out throughout most of Europe. This was then followed by North and South America, Africa and then Australia. By 2002, more than one billion cans were being sold annually (Brunnen, 2007)"

Abstract
This paper discusses Red Bull's marketing strategy as it relates to new product development and research and development. Particularly it examines Red Bull's unique relationship with the alcoholic beverage industry and its viral marketing techniques within the establishments that sell and market alcoholic beverages associated with Red Bull's product.
From the Paper
"The beverage industry is largely an industry that lives or dies by identifying each next fad or trend and then developing a product to match that need. Red Bull is the world's largest energy drink company owning approximately 70% of that market, is privately owned, and has annual sales estimated in excess of $1 billion("Red"). Since the company's main line of business is centered in one sector of the beverage industry, energy drinks, and almost exclusively confined to a single product, its flagship Red Bull Energy Drink, it must focus its current strategy on two key, inter-related areas: research and development (R&D) and marketing."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"When it comes to the stock market many Americans are confused about what it involves, how it works and what the different markets mean. Even those that invest their hard earned money into the stock market often turn to their broker for advice and leave it to that broker to handle it for them. Whether one is a serious investor, a hobbyist or planning on becoming a stock broker it is important to understand certain terms and elements about the market. One of the more interesting debates when it comes to the stock market is in deciding whether a bull or bear market has occurred. Analysts around the nation gather in front of historic records, examine current trends and with their most serious face pronounce a bull or bear market depending on how they have interpreted those elements."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the purpose of the film "Full Metal Jacket" is different than that of the film "Raging Bull."

In this light, the paper highlights the differences between the films, such as the usage of background and support elements and different approaches to technical issues such as lighting, camera angles and editing.
Outline:
Introduction
Full Metal Jacket
Raging Bull
From the Paper
"An analysis of these two films reveals that there are obvious differences in terms of their usage of background and support elements, such as setting and decor, as well as different approaches to technical issues such as lighting and camera angles and editing. These aspects of cinematic art are inextricably related to the style of the director as well as to the aims and intentions of the film. In any successful film aspects such as setting and environment are artistically linked to the various thematic and ideological undercurrents in the film. Background and set for example can be as important as script and acting in conveying certain moment of insight and perception in a film like Full Metal Jacket, for example. Therefore various aspects such as scenic environment, decor and sound should be borne in mind. A comprehsive analysis of a film cannot neglect these aspects and they are often integral to the shape and narrative trajectory of the film as a whole."

Abstract
This paper looks at the origins and history of American pit bull terriers and why an individual cannot hope to own this dog within city limits without fear of being arrested or being faced with the euthanasia of the dog, for daring to own this dog that is certified as a 'vicious dog' under the city ordinance laws. It contends that current regulations are grossly unfair on the dog owner as well as on the dog, and how somewhere there must be justice for the poor dumb creature that has been trained to be as mean as it is by certain unscrupulous elements of society who had their own reasons for doing it.
From the Paper
"The American Kennel Club in fact eschewed the breed known as the 'Pit Bull' until the year 1936, and it was after this that the American Pit Bull Terrier came to be recognized as the 'Strafford shire Terrier', actually named after the Stafford shire miners who had had a hand in creating the breed for the purpose of fighting in the pits where they worked. In the year 1972, this name was changed to the American Stafford shire terrier', and this was for the purpose of differentiating this breed from the Stafforsdhire Bull Terrier of England, the actual ancestor of the American breed of dog, which was later recognized by the American Kennel Club in the year 1974. In the United Kingdom, the dog is about 14 to 16 inches tall, and weighs about up to 45 pounds, while the breed found in America is about 18 to 19 inches tall, and weighs about up to 80 pounds."

?The Bull from the Sea?, 2004.
A review of the novel, ?The Bull from the Sea?, by Mary Renault.

Abstract
This paper examines the myth, "The Bull from the Sea," by Mary Renault. Specifically, it discusses how Theseus and his Moira, his god gift, become entangled and ultimately destroyed in his relationships with Hippolyta, his great love, and Hyppolytus, his son, and explains the irony of these situations. It also looks at how Theseus is a heroic leader who suffers from forgetfulness and latent selfish tendencies that allow him to sacrifice the good of his people for his own needs.
From the Paper
"Theseus' son, Hippolytus, is also a source of great irony in the book, because he sprang from his father, but he is a much better man than his father is. He is a healer, and while he does not have Theseus' psychic abilities, he is gentle and kind, a virgin at the age of seventeen, and taller than his father, and his father is envious of all these things. Envy and moira do not go together, and if there was a shred of his moira left after all this time, it is destroyed by his loving envy of his son, and in the ultimate ironic act, Theseus destroys his own son partly as a result of his envy, and partly because of Phaedra's accusation of rape. The son has usurped the father's role, and the irony of the situation is that of course, he did not, but he will not speak out, and Theseus is not wise enough to see the situation is a set-up."

Abstract
This paper explains that the bull shark is the most dangerous form of shark known to humans. It examines the physical characteristics of this shark and then looks at its food habits and living habitat. The way it reproduces is also discussed and a look at whether the species is endangered or not.
From the Paper
"Growing anywhere from 7 to 11 feet long and weighing up to 500 pounds, the Bull Shark has no distinguishing markings. However, a short snout that is wider than it is long, small eyes, an off-white underside, and gray topside can identify it. The first dorsal fin of the Bull Shark is much longer and pointed than the second. As an adult, it possesses no fin markings, but may in some cases have a pale stripe along its flank. Also, the Bull Shark lacks a skin ridge between the two dorsal fins, which most other shark species possess."

Abstract
This paper discusses Tablet VI of the "Epic of Gilgamesh", which contains the story of Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu's battle with the Bull of Heaven. The paper cites passages from the epic tale and discusses what each of the characters and events represent. The paper concludes that this part of the tale encapsulates major themes in the drama of human existence and the relationship of human beings to the wider cosmos.
From the Paper
"In these lines it is clear that the Bull represents a force even more terribly destructive than the horrors threatened by Ishtar. Worse than the elimination of law and order, of the creation of moral chaos that Ishtar's threats would represent, the loosing of the bull appears to bring about physical annihilation of the means of existence. The Bull would eat up all the grain and all the grass causing both men and animals to starve. There would be nothing. All the creatures of the earth would die, and the gods would be left without support. It is with this idea in mind that Anu asks Ishtar if she has seen to it that food has been stored up for those who dwell on the Earth. Anu's concern is interesting because it reveal the physical underpinnings of the cosmic order. A civilization's values might be important, but that civilization cannot exist without the material things that sustain it. Anu comes across as concerned with the totality of creation, Ishtar only with the satisfaction of her own desires, as befits a goddess of sexual urges."

Martin Scorsese's Film "Raging Bull" (1980), 2007.
This paper analyzes a specific fight sequence from Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull" (1980), which is based on champion middleweight boxer Jake La Motta's tragic autobiography.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull", Jake La Motta (Robert DeNiro) is constantly at odds with himself and with the people around him. The author points out Scorsese's use of the formal elements of film making to convey the visceral nature of what it is like to be in the ring and even to be one of the fighters during a fight. The paper describes, scene by scene, a pivotal sequence, the second fight between Jake La Motta and Sugar Ray Robinson, which demonstrates this visceral effect through lighting and composition for mise en scene, camera work for cinematography, editing and sound. The paper concludes that, in this sequence, Scorsese effectively plays with time, framing, light and sound to create feelings of defenselessness and power, victory and shame, during and after a pivotal and crucial fight.
From the Paper
"The first shot of the sequence begins as a handheld, high angled close-up on Sugar Ray Robinson's feet, dancing and shifting about in the ring. We hear a commentator on the stadium speakers, and the cheering crowd as La Motta's feet enter the frame. A title appears in the bottom center of the frame: "La Motta vs Sugar Ray Robinson Detroit 1943" in true 1940s television style. The camera rises (or tilts) up to reveal the back torso of La Motta and Robinson in front of him, ready to fight. Then we see a medium close-up of Robinson, over La Motta's left shoulder."

"This study will provide a critical analysis of Peter E. Bull's "Posture and Gesture".
Bull declares his general purpose immediately: "The purpose of this book is to present the results of a series of studies carried out by the author over a number of years, sharing a common focus on the role of posture and gesture in interpersonal communication".
Bull's study is unique in that it focuses on those two elements of nonverbal communication. He writes in clarification that "Posture is conventionally understood as referring to bodily position as distinct from bodily movements, which are customarily referred to as gestures" .
What enlivens Bull's study is that he combines an academic approach with an enthusiasm for his work which informs and ... "

The Bull in Minoan Art, 1997.
Symbolic, religious & mythological significance of the bull in art & culture of Minos & early Greece.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 4 sources, $ 55.95
»

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to discuss the symbolism of the bull in Minoan art. It will draw upon not only examples of Minoan art but also what is know of the religious associations of the bull in early Greek myth and religion.
Surely all attempts to comprehend the symbolism of the bull in Minoan art must begin from, or at least remain cognizant of, the fresco of the ?bull dancers? found in the palace at Knossos. Greek myth, conveniently summarized in Plutarch?s Life of Theseus, served to preserve a memory of this complex palace; its name or description as labyrinthos, which came to mean a maze, had apparently meant the ?house of the double ax.?
The myths also portrayed the king of Crete, Minos, as a son of Europa, a princess of Phoenicia, who rode on the back of Zeus in the form of a bull to Crete, where he seduced her and fathered Minos.."

Abstract
This paper discusses Birmingham, AL Public Safety Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor in 1961 Birmingham, AL. It gives the report on his connections to the KKK and involvement in attacks on the Freedom Riders of 1961 in Birmingham. This paper also tells of segregation in Birmingham and has direct quotes from Connor as well as other authoritative figures in Birmingham during the Civil Rights Movement.
From the Paper
"During the year of 1961 one man managed to turn the universal police motto of ?To Protect and Serve? into a mockery. That is, a mockery for a group of African-American students and Civil Rights leaders who were part of an organization called CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) as well as an entire community. This paper will take a look at the CORE sponsored ?Freedom Rides? that challenged segregation in interstate travel facilities in Birmingham, Alabama and how then Commissioner of Public Safety Eugene ?Bull? Connor was running the police force to the advantage of his personal racial beliefs. That is, to his advantage in opposition to such challenges as those that the Freedom Riders made on segregation. This analysis will expose Connor?s ties to the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama when the Rides took place and will serve as an illustration of the kind of leadership that encouraged bigotry among the white citizens of Birmingham. It will also illustrate the kind of leadership that promoted love and harmony among the races through peaceful and non-violent protest of Connor?s policies. Through the following summation of historical facts gathered through evidence one can easily see what the harsh reality of segregation was like in Birmingham during 1961 and how it relates to the Civil Rights Movement as a whole as well as Birmingham?s history."
