Abstract
Social Comparison, Individualism-Collectivism, and Self-Esteem in China and the United States by Chung and Mallery
Mass Media Example of the Social Comparison Theory
Personal Example of Social Comparison Theory
Social Comparison Theory and Ethics
From the Paper
"Chung and Mallery (1999) "examined the possible differences in social comparison between individualistic and collectivistic cultures" using the United States and China for the sample (para. 1). Chung and Mallery predicted that based on past research, collectivistic cultures, where individuals focused on achievements that would be beneficial to a collective group rather than themselves, would be positively correlated with upward social comparison, while the contrary would be true for individualistic cultures. In essence the a priori expectation is that "upward comparisons were positively correlated with individual self-esteem, and downward comparisons were negatively correlated with collective self-esteem" (Chung & Mallery, 1999, para 14)."

From the Paper
"Freedom of the Press is embodied in the First Amendment to the Constitution, and the courts give great importance to this doctrine when weighing competing rights. However, another vitally important right is the right to a fair trial, and more and more, courts are being asked to consider which of these rights takes precedence in different cases. The press frenzy around recent major cases such as that of O.J. Simpson, the Unabomber, and the Oklahoma City bombing raised questions in the public about the ethics of the press in covering these trials. This is not a new issue, and forty years ago the excessive coverage of the first Sam Sheppard murder trial led to a reversal of his conviction and public censure of the press. In determining when press freedoms might impinge on such other cherished freedoms as the right to a fair trial, courts examine press ..."

From the Paper
"Introduction
In China, as in most totalitarian states, the press is really little more than another arm of the government. In the Beijing Spring of 1989, however, for a brief moment that dynamic changed. Whereas the usual opposition or rebellion movement would have no voice in or means to manipulate the press, the student democracy protestors in Tiananmen Square found themselves both gaining straightforward coverage from their national press and also able to participate in the process by granting interviews and attempting to manipulate the coverage. The reasons for this change are multifold, among the most important of these being the behind the scenes power struggle within the government, during which it relaxed its control of the information flow. This did not, however, mean that the students.."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effectiveness of the Press Complaints Commission as a regulatory body over the printed press in the UK. It looks at the role and work of the PCC while exploring the efficiency of self regulation.
From the Paper
"Newspapers and magazines are a primary source of information about the world for the general public and therefore accuracy is of a high importance when people frequently make social and political judgements from it. It is also argued that accuracy is important to protect individuals from the repercussions of inaccurate information . This can be a difficult task, when as John Solosky suggests ?controlling the behaviour of journalists could be a difficult problem for the management of a news organisation, especially since reporters spend most of their time outside the newsroom? . The Press Complaints Commission (or PCC) attempts to keep printed publications in check through what is described as ?self-regulation?. This essay attempts to look at the role and work of the PCC, analysing whether or not self-regulation is an effective form of control."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discussees, and analyzes Plutarch's "Comparison of Pompey with Agesilaus". Specifically, the paper considers the historical significance of the document about the time, place, and environment in which it was created. The paper explains that the comparison of Pompey and Agesilaus is valuable for the insight it gives into both men, including their motivation, personalities, strengths, and weaknesses.
From the Paper
"A quick reading of the document offers several historical points, including information on the culture, religious beliefs, and social customs of the times. First, the author refers to a "false gloss on the oracle" in relation to Agesilaus and his reign. This indicates the importance of oracles and sooth-sayers during the time. In fact, civilizations relied on oracles for much of their decision-making, including laws and military actions. Indeed, Plutarch himself served Apollo at the Oracle at Delphi. Thus, oracles were extremely important in the environment of the time."

From the Paper
"The art historian Giorgio Vasari first used the term ?Renaissance? in 1550. He used the word rinascita (Italian for rebirth) to describe the return of the ancient Roman manner of painting in the works of Giotto di Bondone. The word Renaissance acquired a wider meaning in the eighteenth century when Voltaire characterized the period between fourteenth and sixteenth centuries in Italy as the great age of human cultural achievement. In the nineteenth century, Jules Michelet and Jakob Burckhardt distinguished the era of Renaissance as a prominent historical period, which gave birth to the modern age. Everything started with the interest to antique culture of ancient Greece and Rome: imperishable beauty of ancient statues appeared before the eyes of the man after archeological digs, undertaken on the territory of Eternal city. The word "Renaissance" has to be understood in a wider meaning. It does not only describe the return of ancient culture, but it also symbolizes the unprecedented ascension of the literature, painting and architecture, as the golden age of human genius. Neither of the epochs produced such a great quantity of prominent figures in every sphere of culture. There are still no more notorious and respected painters, than Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael, Michelangelo. Fine arts depict the ideals of Renaissance most brilliantly. "
