Abstract
This paper explains that, in his short story, "The Use of Force", William Carlos Williams examines the justifiable application of physical force. The author points out that all of the doctor's respect appears to go to Mathilda, the "damned little brat", who had the spunk and courage to resist him all along. The paper concludes that even an apparently mild-mannered country doctor can enjoy the passionate feeling of having a strong opponent and admire the resistance.
From the Paper
"The narrator inquires about a sore throat and both parents explain that the child says "her throat don't hurt her." The slightly exasperated doctor wonders if they have actually looked and discovers that they have not. Mathilda will not cooperate, though, and the doctor tries to reason with her. Attempting lamely to help, the mother says, "Come on, do what he tells you to, he won't hurt you." The doctor is disgusted that the mother used the word "hurt" and he says "I ground my teeth in disgust" at the parents bungling attempts."

Abstract
This paper reviews the concept of freedom as defined by Carlos Fuentes, a novelist, essayist and travelling diplomat. According to this paper, Fuentes believes that without the quest for freedom, freedom would not exist.
From the Paper
"Freedom is often a concept that is taken for granted, misunderstood, and, as Carlos Fuentes notes, is often defined for the citizens of the world by institutions that have no other ultimate interest but to limit the freedom that appears to be so fleeting. Novelist, essayist, and traveling diplomat, Carlos Fuentes' quotation on what freedom is inspires the reader to think about what freedom truly is. It envelops concepts familiar and new, traditional and rebellious, and in the end encompasses the multitudes of facets that have founded nations, inspired societies, and given rise to revolution. In the beginning of Fuentes' thought provoking quote, he notes that freedom is freedom based on people seeking it. This thought is comprised of two primary parts. First, without the quest for freedom, freedom would not exist. It is the process of striving for freedom that ensures that the concept continues to exist."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poems "The Young Housewife" and "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams, which reflect domestic desire and the problems of intimacy that lie hidden within American suburbia. The author points out that Williams shows an abstracted form of simile, allusion and symbolism to reflect the frustrations of couples trying to live with each other in divided homes. The paper contends that, by actively revealing his own lack of sexual fulfillment, Williams is able to convey these messages in these simply written, yet cryptic poems.
From the Paper
"This poetical analysis explores the theme of domestic desire within the two poems: "The Young Housewife" and "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. By revealing William's poetry related to domestic desire through simile, allusions and symbolism, one can learn why these two poems reflect isolation and the romantic problems within 20th century American suburbia. In understanding William's poems through the theme of domestic desire, one can assume unfulfilled sexual and romantic energies that reside within his verse. The poem "The Young Housewife" reflects the barriers and sexuality of the suburbs in the way that Williams present both the woman and the doctor in the poem."

William Carlos Williams' Poem "The Red Wheelbarrow", 2006.
The paper describes the way William Carlos Williams' poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" uses a simple battery of devices and basic vocabulary to convey a multitude of thoughts and images.

Abstract
This paper explains that William Carlos William, in his poem "The Red Wheelbarrow", utilizes imagery, symbolism, simplistic structures and a free form style to illustrate the meaning of the poem in both a literal and metaphorical sense. The author points out that the meaning behind the picture created by this poem is left up to the reader to discover by looking for patterns in a deceptively simple sentence. The author underscores that, through these patterns, the readers rediscover the beauty in a simple wheelbarrow, a simple sentence and a simple poem. The paper concludes that the plain red wheelbarrow glistens by the end of the poem, in the calm following a storm, like the reader's glow of excitement after unraveling the mystery of the scene.
From the Paper
"The structure of the poem is perhaps the most interesting characteristic of it. The simple vernacular is underscored by the structure. Because the sentence is broken into four stanzas, the reader is forced to go line by line, scrutinizing each syllable, looking for meaning. Each word was carefully chosen and packs a punch, as was the author's intention. There are relatively few words, which causes the reader to notice the author's word choice more than if the poem were longer. Additionally, the pauses between each stanza allow the reader to reevaluate the mental image they are creating, as explained previously."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine Carlos Fuentes's "The Death of Artemio Cruz", with a view toward showing how Artemio's character personifies the ultimate betrayal of the ideals of the Mexican Revolution. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which Artemio's character develops, and then to show how Fuentes uses him as an analogue for the success of the goals of the revolution on one hand, and for the failure of the ideals of the revolution on the other.
Artemio is an emblem of the successful revolutionary who has co-opted the goals of the revolution to achieve economic gain and a more generalized personal power. To put it another way, one set of oligarchs (disguised as petty bourgeois) has supplanted the other, and by the time the new oligarchy has been established, one can hardly tell the new regime from the old one, ...

Carlos Menem, 2006.

Abstract
This paper examines who Menem is, who he was, how he achieved his power. It then show what it all means for Argentina in its quest for economic growth and political stability in the 21st century. The paper further discusses how his scandals and autocratic demeanor brought about the end to his presidency.
From the Paper
"Menem received a law degree from the University of Cordoba in 1958, and practiced law until, at age 33, he entered politics, and did so successfully. Menem became governor of La Rioja, where he served two terms, the first from 1973 to 1976, the second from 1983 to 1989. Why the interruption? Because in 1976, he was arrested and imprisoned during Argentina's military coup. When he was finally released after serving some five years in jail,, he returned to politics, and won election of his province again two years later. He was eager to run for the Presidency, and campaigned much as the original Perons did, as someone whose goal was to improve the lives of the poor. While this assured him not merely being elected, but winning by a landslide, it soon became obvious that his original campaign promises to look out for Argentina's poor was just empty rhetoric. In fact, soon after he was installed, he introduced some sweeping reforms, which included privatization of many of the government-subsidized organizations on which the poor depended. By privatizing, he literally handed over the reins of much of former government activities to those who were in it for a decent profit. At the same time, because of rising inflation and inability to improve exports, he downsized the spending of government to an almost alarming degree."

Carlos Fuentes: The Creation and Re-Creation of Social Reality, 2002.
This paper provides an analysis of the writings of Carlos Fuentes and explores the creation and re-creation of social reality in his works.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper asserts that Fuentes used his writing as an opportunity to create and re-create the social reality of the lives of the people of Mexico as they shaped and continue to influence the development and history of their country. In order to establish this thesis more fully, the following works of Fuentes are examined: "Aura" (1965), "The Buried Mirror: Reflections on Spain and the New World" (1992), and "The Years with Laura Diaz" (2000). Initially, an overview is provided of Fuentes' thoughts on writing and his use of writing in documenting the lives of Mexicans and the history of Mexico, his homeland. This is followed by a discussion of Fuentes' works as each illustrates his efforts to construct and re-construction Mexico?s reality through the lives of her people.
From the Paper
"Through his writing, Fuentes has assumed a commitment for insuring that his readers as well as himself take responsibility for reconceptualizing the manner in which they perceive both the past and present of Mexico. His desire to accomplish this task is clearly documented by Fuentes himself when he provided the following description of the role of Latin America within history: "To restore some kind of tragic consciousness ...to make the United States understand that memory counts--that there is history, and that it does not renew itself every 24 hours when Dan Rather appears on the set" (as cited in Lippard, 1990, p. 6). As is evidenced within this statement, Fuentes presents a challenge to himself as a writer as well as to his readers to recognize that the social construction of reality that may be presented to us in the world around us may not be an accurate representation of reality and history as it truly exists."

"Critics have characterized William Carlos Williams? short stories as ?terribly real?, exhibiting both ?bitterness and compassion.?

The stories depict a antinomic reality, he suggests, consisting of a combative coexistence between what is immediately apprehensible and a force lying ?behind the colored faces of phenomena.?:

From the Paper
"William Carlos Williams, born in 1883 and died in 1963, was a major poet of his generation and one of the leading poets in the movement departing from traditional English practice, but Williams took his own road and tried to impart to his poetry a new substance and a violent new orientation. He began as early as 1912 by asking, "what was the measurable factor in language that can replace metrics as the basis for poetic composition?" For Williams, this question involved the whole essence of poetry:
Since he believed that experience does not objectively exist until it is embodied in language, the nature of that language--its ability to convey actuality without distorting it through the crippling biases of "literary" means--is all-important (Unger 403).
Williams had several concerns that were constant: 1) he wanted to..."

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 how the Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) case has been an active and major precedent that sets the standard for cases that relate to, or fall under the protection of freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. This paper examines such cases and focuses on one case that did not fall under its protection: Rice v. Paladin Enterprises (1997), also known as "The Hit Man" case. This paper concentrates on what distinguished both these cases from each other in order to make one fall under the protection of freedom of speech of the First Amendment and the other not.
From the Paper
"On October 26th 1984 a 19 year- old boy named John Mc Collum shot himself and died while he was listening to the recorded song of the rock singer Ozzy Osbourne. He was found dead with the headphones still on and had been listening to the lyrics of the song called "Suicide Solution" which followed:
"Ah know people
You really know where it's at
You got it
Why try, why try
Get the gun and try it
Shoot, shoot, shoot" (as cited in Mc Collum v. CBS Inc., 1988)
The family of the boy sued CBS Records and Ozzy Osbourne holding them responsible for the suicide; the Superior Court of Los Angeles County dismissed the case. The Court of Appeal affirmed."

Abstract
This paper examines one of the most controversial steps in curtailing violence on television, the V chip. It discusses whether or not V chip technology provides a good way of reducing the exposure of children and teens to violence on television. The first part of the paper describes how V chip technology works, which is by blocking out graphic violence and language on television. The paper then explores the opposition to V Chip legislation and technology, both from a liberal and a conservative standpoint. In the conclusion, the paper addresses the various concerns that opponents have raised against V chip legislation. It states that, although the V chip is not a cure-all, it provides an effective step in reducing the exposure of children and minors to violence on television.
From the Paper
"In 1996, then President Bill Clinton signed into law a requirement that all new television sets should be equipped with the V chip. This silicone wafer would allow viewers to block programs deemed explicit or offensive simply by punching a key into their remote control pads (Rolfe). This would allow parents to regulate programs based on content, particularly violence, sex and profanity. In its evaluation of almost 10,000 hours of broadcast programming from 1995 to 1997, the National Television Violence Study found that 61 percent of television programs portrayed acts of violence. Most of this violence was glamorized, committed by characters that are otherwise presented as positive role models. While many of the violent acts that would cause serious harm or death in real life, the programs neutralize these lethal effects through the lack of painful effects or through humor (Center for Communication and Social Policy 8)."
