1,720 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the Greek goddess Artemis, the twin sister of Apollo, who was associated with the wilderness, with the passage to adulthood and with childbirth. The author of this paper examines Artemis' strengths and the tension between those strengths and those of her twin Apollo. The paper also studies Artemis' role in various community and individual ceremonies, including right of passage ceremonies, primarily for women, but also for men.
From the Paper
"Artemis is a huntress who delights in killing wild animals. She should be seen, however, not as a model for human hunters, but rather as the embodiment of the predatory aspect of nature. She protects the very animals on which she herself preys with as much jealousy as she guards her own virginity. Indeed, it is in myths of Artemis that the first association between wilderness and virginity is found. The deadly sacredness of the wilderness and the goddess's virginity intermingle in the well-known story of Acteon, a hunter who crossed the threshold of Artemis's "sacred grove" while she was bathing. He was changed into a stag for his transgression and was torn apart by his own hounds. Even where there is no sexual tension, Artemis frequently appears as the protectress of wild beasts. An Athenian ritual in which girls between five and ten years of age disguise themselves as bears and serve Artemis at her temple of Brauron supposedly originated when some Athenian children cruelly tortured a wild bear. As punishment, Artemis demanded that the girls of Athens serve her. "

Abstract
This paper relates that marketing is a vital part of the successful cases of BMW Films, Prozac/Paxil, Sony's EyeToy and Tivo. The author points out that, because BMW's customers are technologically oriented, BMW Films must consider marketing collateral based on pod-casts, blogs and an RSS news/advertisement campaign distributed via the Internet. The paper relates that the strategy of marketing pharmaceutical product for diseases, like "social phobia", whose discovery were at least partially funded by the major pharmaceuticals themselves, is highly effective and creates a market where previously none existed. The author underscores that the strategy of bundling the EyeToy product with Sony's existing computer game stations eliminates the consumer perception that EyeToy is a low cost device. The paper realizes that Tivo's marketing department is limited by the confines of its retail distribution and manufacturing agreements.

Abstract
The steelworkers' trilogy cases greatly changed the way that arbitration is dealt with in America. In light of this, the paper discusses and analyzes these three cases and determines what arbitration was like before and after the cases took place. This study looks at arbitration in various cases (most notably the steelworkers' trilogy) based on unfair labor practices. There is significance to this based on the fact that the way that arbitration is conducted was changed based on these cases and they made a significant difference in the way that the laws regarding arbitration were handled. Looked at here are the steelworkers' trilogy cases, the history of arbitration both before and after the cases, and the impact that these cases had on arbitration in this country.
Outline
Abstract
Introduction
Arbitration Before the Steelworkers' Trilogy Cases
The Steelworker Trilogy Cases
Case #1 - United Steelworkers of America v. American Manufacturing Co.
Case #2 - United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel & Car Corp.
Case #3 - United Steelworkers of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co.
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The steelworkers trilogy cases of 1960 gained much attention at the time and remained famous for years afterward as being the most significant cases where the arbitration of grievances were concerned. In these cases, the United States Supreme Court was aware of the necessity of strict rules to keep arbitration honest and fair for all of the parties that are involved with it. One of the laws under which arbitration awards may be forced or vacated is Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, which has been used for some time in various cases. The Federal Arbitration Act also created guidelines to ensure that arbitration is fair, and there are only four circumstances under Federal law where an arbitration award may be changed or vacated under this Act."

The Response to Case Summary Three
From the Paper
"Organizational culture is a critical issue in contemporary organizations because it is increasingly the only method in which many competitors can differentiate themselves from their competition. According to Keyton, organizational culture can be defined in many different ways but the recurring theme among these many definitions is the assertion that organizational culture are a series of shared values and meanings regarding the common work experiences of employees (21). While Keyton and other researchers have reached some consensus on organizational culture, there is often a divergence of opinion regarding the nature of leadership within the organization and how leadership is or should be manifested within the context of organizational culture."

The Scott Peterson Case, 2005.
A look at how media coverage of the Scott Peterson case has less to do with the legal facts and issues and more to do with the drama and sensation of the case.

Abstract
This paper describes the media coverage of the Scott Peterson case. The case involves the murder of Scott Peterson's pregnant wife and unborn son, and this paper focuses on CNN's coverage, in particular, of the crime and how that coverage has become more like a narrative crime drama than a real look at the legal and ethical issues of the case.
From the Paper
"Instead, even CNN has resorted to creating a narrative crime drama of the Peterson case. For instance, in recounting the reactions of different members of Laci Peterson?s family, the media outlet quoted one family member that; ?Scott Peterson had seemed the perfect gentleman to his mother-in-law.? So, the article continues, ?she [the mother-in-law] said she grew worried when he began behaving strangely the moment? he first reported his wife, Laci, had vanished. Thus, with dramatic foreshadowing after the fact, it is reported uncritically, long after Scott Peterson has been accused that Laci's mother had concerns about accused son-in-law ?and worries only grew after daughter's disappearance,? the article continues. (June 8, 2004) "

The Supreme Court Case of Brewer v. Williams, 2007.
This paper offers a case commentary, in response to the United States Supreme Court case of Brewer v. Williams.

»

Abstract
This paper is written in response to the important decisions which were handed down by the Supreme Court in Brewer v. Williams, regarding the disappearance of ten year old Pamela Powers in Des Moines, Iowa. It presents an overview of the case, including the question which the Court was prompted to answer, the facts of the case and the rational the Court used in deciding the way in which it did. The paper looks at prior cases involving the right to counsel, as well as cases following the Brewer decision, and an argument as to why this case is of a significant benefit to American Law.
From the Paper
"In order to understand how the Court reached its ruling, it's important to understand some of the significant cases prior to Williams. In Massiah v. United States 377 U.S. 201 (1964) the Supreme Court ruled that once a suspect has been indicted and retains a lawyer, the police cannot (through any means) try to illicit incriminating statements from the suspect, in order to use at trial; thus, it was a direct violation of Massiah's Right to Counsel. In Miranda v. Arizona 384 U.S. 436 (1966) the Court held that if there is a determination that a suspect is deprived of movement in a significant way, and is also being interrogated, he must be informed of his rights prior to questioning."

The Steven Truscott Case: Justice, Culture and Social Order, 2008.
An analysis of the Steven Truscott case and its impact on the criminal justice system in Canada.
2,150 words (approx. 8.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 67.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the legal issues emerging from the Steven Truscott case of the late 1950s, a case that broke new ground in shaping and shaking popular understandings of the Canadian criminal justice system. Particular attention is focused on social and cultural factors - especially attitudes towards sexuality and media pressure contributing to a rush to convict - as contributing elements to this case. Comparisons are drawn to a similar case in the United States at this time - the Sam Sheppard trial - to illustrate how this situation is not limited to Canadian law but, in fact, reflects wider social and cultural realities. Increasing anti-institutional sentiments in both Canada and the United States have contributed to a revisiting of both cases, sentiments that both cases also played a role in shaping.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Culture and Sexuality
Tunnel Vision and the Issue of Disclosure
The Sheppard Case, Media and Authority
Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the major legal problems to emerge from the Truscott trial was one of disclosure or discovery. As the Daum story reveals, the culture of the 1950s - which placed much more faith in the honesty and integrity of law enforcement officials than today -allowed law enforcement officials to effectively bury evidence that may have been of assistance to the Truscott defense. Indeed, it may be argued that cases such as Truscott contributed to an evolution in criminal law in such matters: "Rules of evidence today oblige the Crown and the police to disclose all the relevant information they turn up in the course of their investigations" (Sher 299)."

Employment Law Case Study Title VII, 2008.
An overview of a study carried out at Case University to assess if a violation of Title VII occurred.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to assess whether a violation of employment law under Title VII has occurred using a study conducted at Case University, where 90 percent of the students are African American. The researcher argues that in both cases violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act occurred. Specifically, evidence of disparate impact and favoritism and nepotism are demonstrated in the two cases. Court decisions including those of the Supreme Court are noted supporting this argument.
Outline:
Background and Analysis
Case 1
Case 2
Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Case University, which opened in 1870, claims its early mission included providing newly freed slaves the opportunity to receive a proper education. The University's purpose also includes training African Americans in various professions to promote career advancement. The researcher asserts that the university violated Title VII when it failed to hire candidate Smith as the professor of biology. While there are circumstances when an entity can exclude a candidate for a job, they must be based on sound logic and backed by standards established by the law. For example, when hiring an attendant for a restroom to sit in the restroom and provide customers with hand towels, acceptable practice does allow the business entity to hire women only to manage the female restrooms and males only for oversight of male restrooms."

Microsoft Antitrust Case, 2006.
An examination of the Microsoft antitrust case.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper the author examines the Microsoft antitrust case. The paper starts with a look at the Sherman Antitrust Law, which was passed to combat illegal monopolies. The law encompassed trusts that restricted free trade and monopolies, therefore preventing competition. In 1990, the Department of Justice in the U.S. contended that Microsoft had violated the Sherman Antitrust Law. This paper discusses in detail the contents of the case against Microsoft. It includes the claim that Microsoft tied its Internet Explorer browser program to the Windows operating system, in an attempt to exclude the use of other browser programs on Intel powered machines. The author proceeds to discuss the details of the case in-depth, and provides discussions for and against the case. In conclusion, the author reminds us that computers are a relatively new field. He points out that the public does not understand the intricacies of programs and in many cases does not differentiate between manufactures. All that is important to the public is the functionality.
From the Paper
"Utilitarianism is an ethical approach stating that what is useful is good. Morally right is the action that gives the greatest happiness to the greatest number of people. This is the aim of legislation and is the basis for the antitrust laws. It is assumed that the greatest number of people will benefit from the good of competition. Utilitarianism removes the moral decision between right and wrong and determines that what is morally right is what brings the greatest happiness to the most people. John Stuart Mill equated happiness with pleasure and the absence of pain. He identified levels of pleasure, with that of the mind being the highest and that of the body being the lowest. In the case of Microsoft, it could be contended that the few companies and individuals that Microsoft's monopolistic practices have harmed are by far in the minority. Thus, the greatest happiness has come to the greatest number of people through Microsoft's marketing, software developments, and innovative strategies."
