Abstract
This paper examines John C. Condon's book, "With Respect to the Japanese", which is devoted to an overview and discussion of international relations between the Japanese and Westerners, particularly Americans involved in business contacts with the Japanese. The paper discusses how Condon believes that truly understanding another culture requires a special effort to see the people of the other culture as they see themselves. The paper summarizes the contents of Condon's book and asserts that it is a valuable contribution to the literature of popular cultural studies of modern Japan, written for a Western audience.
From the Paper
"Condon begins with the somewhat facetious statement that Japan and America make up an "odd couple," that is to say, two nations that are very different from each other, possessing what seem to be mutually alien ways of living and thinking, and yet which are tightly tied together in a relationship of mutual dependence, ironically facilitated by Japan's defeat in World War II. At that time, the almost total destruction of Japan's economy and industry and the occupation of the country by United States forces and interests created a unique situation in which the rebuilding of the former enemy would bring it into much closer contact with the victors than would otherwise ever be possible."

Abstract
An analysis of this book which is a study of the Inuit people of Holman Island, a community in the Northwest Territories of Arctic Canada. It discusses how Condon analyzes their community, family life, relations with friends and peers, gender and sex issues, school and work situations, and prospects for the future.
From the Paper
"Intuit, or Eskimos, live in small, isolated villages, usually in groups of only 10 to 50 people, though the exception could be as large a group as 800. Most villages would have perhaps six dwellings. The Eskimo world is small and self-contained not only in terms of the size of the village and the size of the home but also in terms of the circle familiar to a single Eskimo. Relatives constitute the primary world of the Eskimo. The Eskimo family consists of the conjugal unit, a husband, wife, and their children. At the time of first European contact, most women had only two or three children, though Eskimo couples wanted to have as many children as possible. There were two reasons for this fact: 1) there was a high rate of infant mortality; and 2) there was a low effective fertility rate. In this century, however, after Eskimos became relatively sedentary and started weaning their children at a much earlier age, the birth rate exploded to some of the highest levels ever recorded for a human population."

Outline:
Introduction
Environment
Labor Conditions
The Problem
The Solution
Conclusion
From the Paper
"During recent years, workers in the United States have watched helplessly as US corporations move their operations to other countries. While the corporations defend their actions with financial rhetoric the news media continues to uncover unsafe working conditions, environmental dumping and dirt poor wages for those foreign employees who were initially thrilled to have an American company come to their area of the world. When the world looks at America they often see a land of opportunity. They are aware that United States workers have a high standard by which they work. They are provided breaks, safety equipment, regular wage increases and many times, benefits for not only themselves but also for their families."

The Promulgation of Propaganda, 2004.
A look at media's influence on violence towards women.
790 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the glamorization of violence towards women in the media reflects the skewed mindset of a society that often finds a way to condone or excuse behaviors that oppress and violate a population that is in fact the majority. It looks at how sexual interactions between men and women have changed drastically in some respects over the course of time.
From the Paper
"The male domination in the perpetration of media supports male domination in all aspects of culture. The exploitation of women may be found in all disciplines and realms of society. The inevitable rise in female status is threatening to the male power structure, and this alarm is reflected in the increase of violence against women. By mainstreaming the topic of rape, society is forced to confront the issue itself, as well as its underlying causes. Media is a construct which enables people to captivate an audience long enough to get a message across in an effective manner. The generational appeal for violence in the form of communication has evolved along with the defining characteristics of the times. "

Stem Cell Research, 2005.
Evaluates the ethical issues of stem cell research.
2,700 words (approx. 10.8 pages), 13 sources, $ 106.95
»

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons why society should support full and unrestricted embryonic and adult stem cell research. This field of medical research offers vast potential, not only for cell therapy, but for the cure of a wide range of diseases. The paper argues that the irrational opposition of religious activists and political conservatives to stem cell research cannot be condoned or rewarded, for society must recognize that we cannot return to the dark ages of religious, social and cultural intolerance when theocratic dogma and rigid conservatism were used as weapons against science.

Assisted Suicide, 2005.
An opinion paper about the ethics of assisted suicide.
1,700 words (approx. 6.8 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the writer's opinion of the unethical practice of assisted suicide. The writer argues that there is too much risk to practicing assisted suicide because there might be a mistaken prognosis or other open issues. The writer fears that a society that condones mercy killings will eventually become a society that kills off its sick because it has become too much of a burden to care for them.
From the Paper
"Patients should naturally trust their doctors in the society we live in. This relationship might be compromised by assisted suicide. But more important is the relationship between patients and their families with assisted suicide as an option for them. Families might even advise the patient to consider assisted suicide because of financial reasons- it is not impossible. Euthanasia is very cheap compared to the complex procedures that are required to save someone and keep them living. Also the patient might accept assisted suicide because they feel guilty for being such a burden on their family. This might make them change their minds and decide that they want assisted suicide just because they do not want to continue to be a burden and feel less guilty. Thisdoes not mean that they really want to die."

"8 Ball Chicks", 2004.
A review of the book, "8 Ball Chicks," written by Gini Sikes.

Abstract
This paper discusses the 1992 book written by Gini Sikes about female street gangs, "8 Ball Chicks". The paper contends that Sikes provides in-depth details of the lives of such female youths in Los Angeles, San Antonio, and Milwaukee. She clearly shows how the victimization of these girls through rapes, physical/mental abuse, and neglect does not condone this deviant behavior, but explains it.
From the Paper
"When hearing the word "street gang," people normally think of young men in large urban settings who wear "colors" or certain type of clothes and tattoos, are turf oriented and prone to anti-social and violent behavior. What does not immediately come to mind are "girl gangs," who similarly look and behave as their male counterparts by harassing, bullying and beating others. In 8 Ball Chicks, Gini Sikes details in depth the lives of such female youths in Los Angeles, San Antonio, and Milwaukee. She clearly shows how the victimization of these girls, through rapes, physical/mental abuse, and neglect does not condone but explains the terrorization of others."

"Anti-Christ Superstar", 2006.
An examination of the character of Marilyn Manson, more commonly known as the "Anti-Christ Superstar".

Abstract
In this paper the author examines the character of Marilyn Mason, who is more commonly known as the "Antichrist Superstar". He looks at how Mason has created uproar in the religious as well as secular community. The controversy behind his messages have caused local legislators and religious leaders to ban him from ever performing in any public edifices in their state. He examines why some parents would rather lock their children in their rooms when he is in town than have them go to one of his concerts. The author gives examples of some of the heinous acts that Mason has performed and looks into the psychological thinking behind them and why teenagers like him so much. In conclusion, the author communicates that when faced with issues that are so controversial, it is difficult for the human community not to let emotions of anger and rage overtake but it is important not to condemn the sinner and condone the sin. The author suggests that in order to help the teenagers of today and people who might turn out to be society's next Marilyn Manson, we must start at an early age to keep our children on a correct path by stimulating children in the right way morally, ethically, psychologically and spiritually.
From the Paper
"Psychologically, this is an understandable theory. Every generation had its role model of rebellion; James Dean, Prince, and Madonna are only a few. But, we are not talking about rebels without a cause, strange clothes, or a person who has the Virgin Mary's name yet does not act anything like her namesake. We are discussing behaviors that most likely stem from psychological problems. Dr. Weidman agrees by adding that, "To today's parents, someone like Manson, with the Satanic content of his music, is much scarier than Elvis' gyrations or the Beatles' long hair were to our parents," (Ransom, pg.2). Mark Gilman, host of On the Mark a Christian radio station says Manson is "cynically preying on depressed, nihilistic teens," (Ransom, pg.2)."

A Case Against Wal-Mart, 2004.
Explains how Wal-Mart is immoral to the patriotic American using key philosophical theories, such as utilitarianism, social contract theory, and Kant-ism.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this essay, the author argues that Wal-Mart industries unflinchingly jeopardize the vital civil liberties upon which America is founded. The author makes this point based on the following premises: Premise 1) Wal-Mart condones the use of sweatshop labor for its goods, disrespecting the constitutional clause that all men are created equal; Premise 2) Wal-Mart endangers America?s capitalist system by destroying small businesses and creating what is essentially a monopoly; and Premise 3) The construction of hundreds of new stores yearly creates serious environmental issues. In conclusion, the author of the paper suggests that a corporation, which violates such entities as equality, choice, and a healthy environment, simply cannot belong in a nation that holds them in the highest of regards. This, therefore, makes Wal-Mart immoral to the true and patriotic American.
From the Paper
"As bewildering as it may be, there are many solid arguments against the giant retail chain we have grown so fond of: Wal-Mart. Even less known is the fact that the company unflinchingly jeopardizes such treasured American entities as equality, freedom of choice, and the environment. In the following argument I will use these examples as premises to contend how Wal-Mart is immoral to the patriotic American."

Abstract
This paper discusses the controversial issues of stem cell research and cloning technologies for the purpose of curing various cancers. The paper describes how these ethically contentious issues represent the potential for incredible advances in the medical treatment of countless diseases. The paper explores government legislation that condones these practices. The paper illustrates the ethical difference between developing cloning technology to clone humans or as a cure for fatal diseases.
From the Paper
"Throughout the twentieth century, the Church has continued to voice its strong opposition to some of the most beneficial developments of modern medical progress, such as organ donation, artificial insemination and, of course, contraception, even in the most impoverished regions of the world where thousands of infants die every single day from starvation caused by overpopulation. The most recent area of conflict between medical research and the Church concerns the countless beneficial potential applications of stem cell research and cloning technology for the treatment of human diseases such as Leukemia and other cancers."

Nathaniel Hawthorne, 2007.
An analysis of the references to Puritanism in Nathaniel Hawthorne's stories and novels.
1,608 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the author of the Romantic period, Nathaniel Hawthorne. It particularly discusses his views on Puritanism, as one of the main themes of his work was the concept of unpardonable sin, which all Puritans held very close to their hearts. The paper gives examples from Hawthorne's books of this concept and uses some of some of these examples to discuss whether Hawthorne condoned puritanical beliefs or condemned them.
From the Paper
"Humanity means morality and faith here and represents everything good and wholesome. Hawthorne felt that when man starts to use his intellect to seek scientific knowledge to support or reject his beliefs, he is basically committing a crime and thus losing touch with humanity. The main reason Hawthorne equated knowledge with evil was because he felt evil was always a lurking possibility and as long as man doesn't engage himself in unnecessary questioning, he could keep that evil force silent. As he once noted: "There is a fund of evil in every human heart, which may remain latent, perhaps through the whole of life; but circumstances may arouse it to activity" (Coale, 1).
Even though Hawthorne was born in the Puritan society, he appears to have disliked the strict laws and regulations of the time. This is because while he endorses the view the faith must not be questioned, he also found that this view was not practiced by the people in its true spirit."

Death and Children, 2007.
This paper discusses personal and African cultural attitudes towards death.
1,244 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer demonstrates how Africa's culture in general denies death and denies children a healthy expression of grief. The writer relates that children internalize signs of grief such as depression and withdrawal, or they externalize grief as anger, aggression or behaviors that are not socially condoned. The writer describes how his/her own childhood was impacted with cultural attitudes that produced a lasting effect on his/her view of death and ability to grieve. The writer concludes that on both a personal level and a wider scale, the emotional issues related to loss need to be addressed.
From the Paper
"Africa is comprised of many regions with different racial and religious groups as well as various issues related to death and grief. In general, however, the cultural norms and socialization agents tend to be the same. Death, especially as it affects children, is denied, and before adolescence children are not allowed to have any association with funerals or other rituals. Meanwhile, Africa has one of the highest death rates in the world. Certain people on that continent see the reality of death for what it is, where death is linked to global inequality. For the most part, death is perceived in terms of superstition."

Hemp/Marijuana, 2007.
An analysis of the positive aspects of the use of hemp/marijuana.
2,662 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 80.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how since the early days of the 20th century in the United States, a very hotly-debated topic has been discussed and argued by many politicians, scientists, medical experts and government officials, from the White House down to local authorities, namely, the legalization of hemp for industrial, agricultural and medicinal purposes. It looks at how those that support the legalization of hemp argue that if it is allowed to be produced and utilized in the United States as it was before the implementation of the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937, this industry could create millions of new jobs and allow the U.S. to compete with other foreign nations that currently produce hemp for a wide variety of uses. It also looks at how those that oppose the legalization of hemp in the U.S. argue that it would condone the use of marijuana and make a drastic, negative impact on the so-called war against drugs in the United States. The paper attempts to show that the positive uses of hemp far outweigh all negative aspects.
From the Paper
"More recently, medicinal marijuana has been used to treat asthma patients, due to its ability to open bronchial passages in the lungs, and well as those suffering from emphysema. Several other medical conditions can also be treated with medicinal marijuana, such as interfering with the growth of tumors, reducing stress and muscular tension, migraine headaches and even depression. Also, marijuana contains some painkilling abilities when applied as a cream or ointment to affected areas of the body. Marijuana in this form was generally available as patent medicines in the 18th and 19th centuries in America but was discontinued when the Food and Drug Act took effect in the late 1920's."

Stem Cell Research: The Religious Perspective, 2008.
This paper argues against stem cell research from a religious point of view.
1,053 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes the stem cell technology that many modern religious authorities and churches see as a serious threat to the foundations of society and religious practice in the modern world. The paper is of the opinion that stem cell research should be prevented from achieving its ends. The paper posits that while one welcomes any technology that can heal the sick and wounded, this cannot be condoned if the price that we pay is the destruction of human culture and religious values.
From the Paper
"Stem cell or embryonic cells are the cells that are found in embryos which have the ability to develop or grow into other types of cells. For example, stem cells have the theoretical potential to develop into heart or muscle cells, etc. Therefore this technology has opened new vistas of possibility for medical science. In theory stem cell research may lead the way to enable doctors to cure diseases that were previously incurable - such as Parkinson's disease. A central benefit of stem cell research is that it is able to create organs and tissue from the undifferentiated cells that can replace damaged or diseased human organs. Another advantage this technology is that it has the potential to overcome the problem of rejection by the recipient or host body."
