Abstract
A backwater of the Cold War since hostilities of the Korean War ended, has been the divided Korean peninsula. Since the 1990s, this issue has repeatedly captured the attention of the world, with the generally assumed rise of North Korea to the status of a nuclear power.
From the Paper
"Since the 1990s the divided Korean peninsula, which had been a backwater of the Cold War since the end of hostilities in the Korean War in the 1950s, has repeatedly captured the world's attention with the widely-assumed rise of North Korea (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or DPRK) to the status of a nuclear power. Given the status of the current dictatorial regime of North Korea as a virtual international "pariah" state - a state in which a massive military exists side-by-side with a primitive, faltering economy and even widespread famine - its nuclear capability has dominated all discussions of its foreign relations and strategies to engage it."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of consociational models and whether they would work in deeply divided societies. The writer explores the models being used in several other places including the Netherlands and Switzerland. The reader is first given a detailed explanation of how such a model operates and what its positive aspects are. Then the writer touches on some of the negative aspects. Finally the entire idea is brought to the door of deeply divided societies and the writer explains whether or not the model can be applied to those divided societies successfully.
From the Paper
"Every society likes to entertain the belief that they have the truth in the best societal practice. If asked each government will tell the inquirer that their form of government and their societal system is the most well thought out and best system there is. Part of this may come from the need to believe they are providing the best possible system for those who live within its boundaries, and part of it may be a true belief that it is the best because they are comfortable with its operation. The truth is often somewhere in the middle and the systems could always use some tweaking to make them as perfect as their representatives would have them sound."

Abstract
This paper presents and analyzes Abraham Lincoln famous speech, "House Divided". The paper describes why this speech, in which Lincoln addressed more than one thousand Republican representatives at the Republican Convention in 1858, was so successful. The paper presents some examples from the speech and describes its content.
From the Paper
"Three years prior to his legendary presidency, Abraham Lincoln addressed more than one thousand Republican representatives at the Republican Convention in 1858. Although the speech was initially condemned for its radical and seemingly inappropriate content, Lincoln's craftily constructed speech effectively established and defeated his enemy through a variety of rhetorical tactics. The success of Lincoln's "House Divided" speech lies in his ability to first elicit fear by creating a real threat and ultimately in overpowering that threat alongside his fellow morally upright Republicans, thus becoming a people's hero. Lincoln accomplishes this by constructing an unstable political atmosphere augmented by a conspiracy of past and present presidents in cahoots with legislators, namely the ever devious Stephen Douglas. He symbolically defeats these public enemies through a variety of strategies including a series of hypophoras in which he answers his own questions aimed to discredit Douglas and company, while simultaneously presenting himself as enlightened and superior by dismissively addressing the threat he constructed as easily assailable."

A Short Second Term
From the Paper
?Abraham Lincoln's election to the U.S. presidency occurred at a time when tensions between the Northern and Southern sectors of the nation had been embroiled in a bitter dispute regarding slavery for quite some time. By the time of the 1860 election, Lincoln's view on the institution of slavery was common and widespread knowledge within both the North and the South, and each of these sectors had both preconceptions and expectations of the new president's first official acts of office. Both sides, along with the majority of Washington officials, expected an immediate proclamation concerning the abolition of slavery. Both sides, as well as Washington, however, were yet again surprised, for the new president had on his mind and as his policy a more gradual and pragmatic emancipation plan.?

Article: Jill Smolowe's "A Town Divided", 2008.

Abstract
This paper analyzes Jill Smolowe's article, "A Town Divided", about six young African-American male high school students, labeled the Jena 6 by the media, who were arrested and charged with attempted murder in an adult courtroom for beating a young Caucasian male student to unconsciousness. The paper first presents background information about the incident and then takes a look how the article covered it. Specifically, the paper discusses the ethos, logos, and pathos of the articles and concludes that, overall, the article is effective in creating sympathetic feelings for the Jena 6, as the original charges they faced and their initial treatment was definitely unfair.

Argument Analysis Essay
From the Paper
"The argument in this piece is very subtle but obviously clear and seeks to present the six African American males as sympathetic characters, which is the ethos of this article. Only the African American point of view is presented in interviews with some of the accused and their families, with none of the Caucasian participants given a chance to speak or express their side of the story. This logos makes sense when the aim of the article is to humanize one faction in a story, while demonizing the other."

The "Cave" and the "Divided Line", 2003.
An explanation of the allegories of the "Cave" and the "Divided Line" from Plato's "Republic".

Abstract
This paper examines how in "The Republic", Plato introduces both the allegories of the "Cave" and the "Divided Line" in order to further his explanation of the perfect government. It looks at how he believes that the state will be perfectly ordered if a guardian who knows the "Good" is in charge of it and how he uses the allegories to enable his readers to understand the intellectual transition that the guardians must go through to understand what is "Good".
From the Paper
"There are six stages to the allegory of the Cave. (a) In an underground cave, a group of prisoners are held captive in such a way that they can only see the back wall of the cave. Behind them is a large fire and in between them and the fire people are walking with artifacts so that shadows are projected onto the back wall of the cave (514a-515c). (b) They are set free and turn to look at the fire, but can see neither it nor the artifacts as they are dazzled by the bright light (515c-e). (c) They are forced out of the cave and into the world above and can see nothing clearly owing to dazzling so they look at the shadows that the sun projects (515e-516a). (d) Eventually they come to look at actual objects (516a)."

Abstract
Studies of divided attention have shown that the degree to which one task interferes with another will depend in part on the stimulus and response characteristics of the two tasks. This paper proposes a study in which participants will at average recall a significantly higher number of words when performing a dissimilar task (listening and doing manual work) as compared with performing a similar task (reading a prose passage).

From the Paper
"A study on task similarity by Allport et al. (1972) was done using participants who heard a list of words presented through headphones into one ear. The participant's task was to simply shadow these words. Simultaneously, participants were also presented with a second list. No immediate response was required to the second list but later on memory was tested for these items. Allport et.al. used three conditions. In one condition, the memory items consisting of words were presented into the other ear, so that participants were hearing and shadowing a list of words in one ear while simultaneously hearing the memory list in the other ear. In the second and third conditions, the memory items were presented visually by a different list of words and pictures respectively on a screen. Allport et al. suggested that the first condition (hear words + hear words) involves very similar tasks, and the second and third condition (hear words + see words/pictures) involves less similar tasks.

South Africa: A Country Divided, 2007.
This paper examines elements of apartheid that still exist in South Africa.
1,271 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 43.95
»

Abstract
This paper explores South Africa's experience as a divided nation and its process of recovery in the past two decades. First, the paper considers the issue of affirmative action in South Africa. The author then acknowledges that elements of apartheid still exist. In order to overcome this divisiveness, the author examines the experiences of other divided nations, such as Germany and Korea. The author concludes that apartheid in South Africa has not ended, but has merely gone 'underground' so that it can still be active but not in the overt sense that it used to be.
From the Paper
"The promotion of a collective or a group identity, therefore, necessarily involves subordinating the individuality that is seen within the group. Furthermore, being able to strengthen one's identity based on race, religion, language, or caste is also considered divisive and threatening to the equality and the freedom of the country (Gramby-Sobukwe, 2002). Quotas are then viewed as being a means to help achieve an equality of outcome by working to deny an equality of opportunity or a fundamental right of various individuals (Gramby-Sobukwe, 2002)."

A Nation Divided, 2002.
Sectional and constitutional issues surrounding the institution of slavery in nineteenth century America.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
As the Nineteenth Century dawned, the institution of slavery appeared to be on its way out in the new United States. The paper shows, however, that the growing of cotton to sustain the Southern economy proved a problem. The crop required its harvesters to toil under a blistering sun ? hard work that scarcely attracted free labor. Yet, the burgeoning cotton plantation demanded more and more hands to work them. There remained only one answer to this labor shortage ? import more slaves. The paper discusses this dilemma faced by the Southern plantation owners in the wake of the abolishment of slavery in the North of the country. The paper looks at the influence of the Abolitionists, the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and how all these issues came to a head with the American Civil War.
From the Paper
"Thus, on the eve of the Civil War, the United States was a country very much divided by the issue of slavery. It was largely a matter of economics that had dictated the Peculiar Institution?s astounding growth during the course of the early Nineteenth Century. Cotton was an immensely profitable crop that consumed land as it churned out profits. The growth of the Abolitionist Movement raised increasing concerns over the rightness of slavery, provoking many Americans to lobby for limitations on the institution?s spread. Yet, Southerners, by and large, saw this attack on slavery as an attack on their very way of life. Struggling to maintain what they saw as their own unique culture against meddling Northerners and Abolitionists, they framed their pro-Slavery arguments around the doctrine of States? Rights, thereby proclaiming the right of each State to decide what was best for its own citizens. It was these two issues ? slavery and States? Rights that would form the basis of the Civil War."

A Divided Vision, 2002.
Examines the Renoir-Hitchcock continuum in Francois Truffaut's two films, "Shoot the Piano Player" and "The Bride Wore Black".

Abstract
This paper will attempt to situate two Truffaut films - "Shoot the Piano Player" and "The Bride Wore Black" - along the critical continuum between these two auteurs. It will be argued that while the influence of Hitchcock in these films may be found mostly in their formal qualities, while that of Renoir lies in their thematic orientation, such an absolute distinction is alien to Truffaut's appreciation and understanding of these directors. Thus, rather than reading these films in terms of a tension between two polarities, it will be shown how Truffaut interweaves elements of both directors' visions in two complex visual tapestries that are ultimately and undeniably his own.

From the Paper
"The Cold War was characterized by mutual distrust, suspicion and misunderstanding by both the United States and Soviet Union, and their allies. At times, these conditions increased the likelihood of the third world war. The United States accused the USSR of seeking to expand Communism throughout the world. The Soviets, meanwhile, charged the United States with practicing imperialism and with attempting to stop revolutionary activity in other countries. Each block's vision of the world contributed to East-West tension. The United States wanted a world of independent nations based on democratic principles. The Soviet Union, however, tried control areas it considered vital to its national interest, including much of Eastern Europe."
