Abstract
This paper describes the reasons why the dominant political ideology of 19th century Europe was conservative as opposed to liberal capitalist or communist. This paper describes the reasons Europe wanted to return to an old traditional society instead of continuing towards a more enlightened, liberal society in the first half of the 19th century.
From the Paper
"After the Defeat of Emperor Napoleon I in 1813 and his subsequent exile in 1815, Europe was at an end of three decades of political upheaval, continental war, and economic struggle. With Europe's victory over France came the recoil of the liberal ideological politics that had eroded the stability of modern Europe. Hundreds of thousands of people had been slain and the political and hierarchical traditions had been forever broken. "His conquests displaced a number of laws, institutions, and customs; broke through bonds sacred among all nations" (Perry, 153). The consequences of the Enlightenments rational thought was believed to have had been fully realized by conservatives. Europe had paid the penalty for their abandonment of tradition and religion for individualism and reason."

Abstract
This paper defines that these two critical essays are essential studies of how women?s role in 19th Century English society shifted from one of subordination to a more liberal, even radical criticism of the society?s treatment of women. This paper discusses Ellis? essay, which talks about women?s subordination to men and Deroin's later essay, which criticizes the unjust and unequal treatment of the society to its women, particularly in their role as wives, mothers, and as women inside the family institution.
From the Paper
"Ellis? essay, an excerpt from her book, ?The Wives of England,? talks about the ways and actions a woman must portray in public in order to be considered an intelligent and ?rational? individual by her society. The essay is described as an advisory about the necessary actions a woman must do in order to make their husbands, or the men, ?feel like kings in their own households and thereby become aware of just how much they need their devoted wives.? Ellis started her essay by stating that the role of men in the society is essential and their role as the ?head of a household? are both vital functions to which the males of the society must attend. In effect, Ellis makes it clear that the role of women fades in comparison with the important work men must do to both maintain the stability and security of the society and his family."

Abstract
This paper examines the so-called evolution of the concept of "juvenile delinquency" in late Victorian England. The object of the paper is to show that the notion of youth crime was considerably altered during this period--and has served as an exemplar of present-day systems.
From the Paper
"The notion that juvenile delinquency in particular and crimes committed by child and adolescents in general were separate from crimes committed by adults is considered a recent construct. In fact it was not until the first half of the the 19th century in England that such a notion first came about. A corollary to this was the idea that these types of crimes and criminals should be treated differently from hardened adult criminals..."

Abstract
An examination of the chaos existing in 19th century England and the causes and consequences. The paper states that England?s development of a dual class struggle -middle class vs. aristocracy and working class vs. middle class - arose for several reasons. The most immediate and obvious cause was the industrial revolution, which impacted the country economically, socially, and politically.
From the Paper
"The year 1850 found England in the midst of some remarkable transitions. First, in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, England was in the process of evolving from being an agrarian society into being an industrial one. In fact, the year 1851 would mark the first year when the number of people in England?s cities and towns was greater than the number of people in her rural areas (Hibbert 67).
"Second, for the first time in the country?s history, the landowners, also known as the gentry or aristocracy, found themselves losing political ground and cultural influence to the middle class. The Middle Class, strengthened by the Industrial Revolution, had battered its way into the House of Commons and successfully passed several reform measures, such as the Prison Act, and the Lunacy Act, measures that the aristocracy would not have undertaken if left to their own devices."

Abstract
The 18th century in England saw the destruction of the political structures that had been built up in the century before, as the political parties once in power lost their footing (or found themselves entirely transformed) to be replaced by different ones and as the power in the government shifted along institutional lines to the cabinet
From the Paper
"The 18th century in England saw the destruction of the political structures that had been built up in the century before, as the political parties once in power lost their footing (or found themselves entirely transformed) to be replaced by different ones and as the power in the government shifted along institutional lines to the cabinet. The result of these transformations was that the modern structures of the British government were in substantial ways established during the first and second quarters of the 18th century.1
By the middle of the 18th century, both Whigs and Tories found themselves changed from what they had been. This is hardly surprising, given how much history had changed around them since these parties had formed. It is in fact less surprising that they changed than that they survived at all. This is especially true of ..."

Crime, Detection and Conan Doyle in 19th Century England, 2002.

Abstract
The following paper discusses how Doyle and ?Sherlock Holmes? entertained generations of readers with the pure delight of escapist detective fiction, paired with the historical diaries and documents written by actual "bobbies" of the day. The writer examines how these famous detective stories give us a vivid picture of how both an author and his major character were shaped by the time, the conditions and the crime of their days.
From the Paper
?When people moved from farming to city and industrial jobs, change came in the ways workers were compensated, in their levels of independence from, or interdependence on, their neighbors, and, probably most noticeable of all, in the sheer amount of space each man could call his own?or maybe more precisely, the lack of space. Many of the teeming crowds in London's streets in the nineteenth century were made up of people living in dire poverty. And all too many were far too familiar with the dark side to this new form of civilization: the rise of more, and different, forms of crime.?

From the Paper
"Land is the most fundamental of resources, the beginning and end of human wealth, the beginning and end of human identity. Where a person happens to be born defines their sense of identity forever; the reason that the dead are committed to the ground is in some measure because it reaffirms this human connection to place. The wealth of a person is tied to the land that she or he controls: A good farmstead, a poor claim, a reliable well make or break a person's fortune in the world.
In the 18th century, England - like other countries throughout the world at the time (and arguably in some measure still today) was a country marked by enormous distinctions of wealth, distinctions that were expressed in terms of owner ship of land."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the Julia Barnes' somewhat cynical view of reality as a human construction in her novel "England, England". The paper focuses on the characters' attempts to cope with reality and their desire to look past the constructions in their own and others' lives.
From the Paper
"In "England, England", Julian Barnes theorizes that what people perceive to be reality is merely a construction. He argues that people create this construction for themselves because of a desire to simplify their lives. What people consider to be true memories and actual history are distortions, no more real than stories, except in that people believe these memories and histories to be real."

Abstract
This paper explores the theme of make-believe reality in Julian Barnes' "England, England", which is presented through the character of Martha. The question posed is whether there even is such a thing as objective reality, and whether, if there is, it can satisfy anyone, and the conclusion appears to be that people ultimately prefer a constructed reality.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the novel, Barnes sets up the idea that reality, as people think of it, is constructed. Martha reasons: ?If a memory wasn?t a thing but a memory of a memory of a memory, mirrors set in parallel, then what the brain told you now about what it claimed had happened then would be colored by what had happened in between? (6). She continues by reasoning that ?an element of propaganda, of sales and marketing, always intervened between the inner and the outer person? (7). While a person may claim that he/she remembers something clearly, he/she has actually filtered and changed around the memory, infusing it with an element of make-believe."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper presents a brief history of the British Conservative movement and looks at the present day's British conservatism. The paper shows how in the face of such modern plagues as terrorism, religious intolerance and the global war on drugs, British Conservatives have had to adapt to the rapid changes all around them. The paper examines the Conservatives' Vision for Britain, a strategic plan essentially divided into six major areas of policy and action. The paper is of the opinion that while no political or social system is perfect, British Conservatism has certainly made an effort and achieved great progress toward the promotion of a happy population and a bright future for Britain.
Outline:
Introduction
From the Past to the Present
British Conservatism in the Modern Day
Closing Thoughts
From the Paper
"Beginning in the late 1830s and moving into the late 1840's, the Conservatives in Britain certainly had a great deal to celebrate about: political power, a growing number of party members, and a celebrity roster that included some of the most brilliant and prolific writers of the day: Wordsworth, Southey, Wilson, Hallam, Buckland, Lockhart, Chalmers, Croly and Faraday (McDowell). In addition to this impressive membership list, the Conservative party enjoyed religious dominance through the Church of England; the religious tone of the day also defined the curricula at the major English universities of the day, Oxford and Cambridge."

Abstract
This paper discusses the definition and application of conservatism within society. It provides examples from within Canadian society of equality of opportunity and freedom and how these concepts relate to conservatism. The paper also discusses why the author feels that she can be considered conservative due to the views and beliefs that she holds.
From the Paper
"Another way of viewing this aspect of Conservative tradition is found in their ideas of marriage. Conservatives put emphasis on the idea of a traditional family in that this is the environment where a child is supposed to be taught the values of a society with the hope that they will eventually become a vital member of that society (Macpherson, 1980, pg 72-74). However, this theory seems very dated by today's standards because it is becomes very difficult to prove that a child will flourish only when in the presence of the traditional family, and not in one consisting of a single mother, or two homosexual parents. In this aspect, among other issues such as abortion, conservatism seems to have similar views on these subjects as the church, which may in part stem from historical tradition. In my opinion, the church should not so greatly interfere with political issues that governments' actions are completely influenced. These two organizations should be treated as such because they both have completely different agendas, with the government leading an entire society, and the church only acting as a leader to a select representation of that society. Even though this doesn't seem to occur as drastically as it did throughout modern history, it should still be enforced that these two institutions be completely separate."

'Organic Society', and 'Tradition' in Relation to Conservatism, 2002.

Abstract
The paper shows that at the heart of the political theory of conservatism lie two theories that are becoming less popular in modern western society - 'organic society', and 'tradition'. This essay explains the roots, theories, and beliefs behind these ideas, as well as their connection to conservatism.
From the Paper
"?Organic society? denotes several things. At the centre of it lies a theory of human nature that reflects people as dependent and insecure. They urgently need to belong to a certain group, in order to feel nurtured, and to add meaning to their existence. These groups are varied, but all ultimately perform the same task ? they include family, friends, work-mates, local community or even the nation. This contradicts the theory of ?negative freedom?, which denotes that individuals should be separated or at least protected from some of these groups, and left on their own. In context with this definition, one can see freedom as a ?willingness to accept social obligations and ties by individuals who recognize their value? . An example of this is a child?s willingness to obey his parent ? this is not a constraint of the child?s freedom but rather a tool by which it can learn from its parent. Therefore, society is formed through a natural instinct to belong. Indeed, at the base of it lies the family, which is the epitome of the society as a whole. The family develops out of the simple need to bear and bring up children, and members of it simply grow up within it and are guided by it (they do not sign any contract). It is maintained by natural impulses such as love, caring, and responsibility and holds the elements that protect and define the organic society as a whole."

Abstract
This paper explores the development of conservatism as an ideology. It outlines the responses conservatives give to progressive ideas, and explains how they try to uphold traditional values. Specifically, the essay deals with conservative views on cultural differentiation, new moral teachings, and changes in the economic system. It analyzes the views of different specialists in the field such as Richard Weaver and C.S Lewis.
From the Paper
"Conservatism is a positional ideology, i.e. the set of arguments made in defense of something that is being attacked. For this reason, the claim could be made that conservative ideas come about as a reaction to the emergence of a new politico-ideological culture. This essay draws on a number of sources in its attempt to explain what conservatives are actually conserving, what methods they use to defend the existing political, social, or economic structures, and why visions of conservatism may vary."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed discussion about capitalist conservatism. The writer uses two published works to discuss the topic and its merits. The discussion revolves around whether or not the writer agrees with the idea that capitalism is merely progressive tradition challenging force for change.
From the Paper
"The dictionary defines capitalism as an economic system. It is a system that is characterized by private ownership and corporate ownership of capital goods. Those goods are obtained by investments and the investments are chosen by private decisions using prices, production and goods distribution as decision factors . This all provides competition in a free market and it is the foundational existence of the economic system called capitalism. Capitalism has been studied throughout history because of its widely fluctuating successes and failures ."
