Abstract
The labor history of domestic service has witnessed a long trajectory from its earliest day as a training ground for young gentlemen to a profession scorned by all except those who practised it. The rise and fall of domestic labor has been an indicator of the growth of the middle classes and the entrenchment of a class system. It has mirrored the fluctuations of the economy and the social changes that have been brought about by governments, wars and evolving attitudes.

Abstract
This paper discusses the revolutions in India, Mexico, and Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. The paper presents a brief history of the British occupation of India, leading up to the unrest around the time of World War I. The paper describes the Mexican Revolution as one of the great social upheavals of the early 20th century and explores the economic difficulties of the country. The paper analyzes the Russian Revolution of 1917, claiming that it was a result of a strain on the political system due to Russia becoming more industrialized.
From the Paper
"India came under British rule in 1757 with the ?defeat of the Nawab of Bengal at Plassey, and by 1818 the British controlled nearly all of India south of the Sutlej River and had reduced to vassalage their most powerful Indian enemies, the state of Mysore and the Marathas. Only Sind and Punjab remained completely independent (Unknown).? While Great Britain controlled the agricultural interests of India and created a negative impact on the exportation of cotton goods, they were instrumental in improving irrigation and transportation."

Race and Immigration in Early 20th Century America, 2008.

Abstract
This paper examines how, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a national debate regarding the immigration of several ethnic groups to the United States led to two major legal decisions, Thind v. United States (1923) which attempted to clarify the "Meaning of White," and the Immigration Act of 1924. Thind, a native inhabitant of India, was found ineligible for American citizenship because his physical appearance was "distinctively different" from what was defined as being white. The writer explains that this and many other racially-biased opinions were further propagated and supported by the Immigration Act of 1924. The paper concludes that, although the act was revised in 1952, it nonetheless strengthened purely racially-based viewpoints on people from different cultures and on immigration into the United States.
From the Paper
"In essence, the racial/immigration debate in American society in the early days of the 20th century centered on one very simple question--what exactly is an American? With the first question, part of the answer appears to revolve around labor and employment, for in 1908, Samuel Gompers, one of the founders and original leaders of the AFL (American Federation of Labor) points out that white Americans were losing thousands of jobs to Asians, especially the Chinese and those whom he calls "Mongolian." Gomper's main argument is that "Mongolians" have made it nearly impossible for white Americans to obtain jobs involving menial labor, such as working in a factory or some other type of industry that manufactures household goods and clothing."

From the Paper
"In this paper, the early Christian community is compared and contrasted with modern Presbyterianism.
After the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, the apostles did not have an organized Christian Church. Instead, the Christian faith was a small movement consisting of a few Jews, who were really not Christian at all in the sense that we interpret the term today. Essentially, in the primitive form of the Christian religion, the apostles had not completely separated from Judaism.
With the experience of Pentecost, it was stated by Peter, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost" (Acts 2:38). This is truly a Christian statement based on a theological approach not found in Judaism."

Black Film Movement of the Early 20th Century, 2000.

From the Paper
"In recent years, both blacks and women have had to fight to become recognized in the film industry and to achieve any form of power. There are now a handful of black film directors, and a few women directors as well. In the silent era, though, when the economics of filmmaking were quite different, there were a number of women in the director's chair, many forgotten today, just as there were many black directors not in mainstream Hollywood filmmaking but in the all-black film movement. A number of these black directors were in fact women as well, and they constituted an early challenge both to white and male dominance of filmmaking.
The all-black film movement started in the silent era with the Lincoln Motion Picture company in Los Angeles in 1916, a black-owned and operated film corporation (Sampson 27). The most..."

From the Paper
"This paper is an examination of the effects of military training and military service in the United States armed forces on domestic abuse and domestic violence. This paper will concentrate on male service personnel and the ways in which their training and experience affect their tendencies toward abusive relationships with their civilian families; although increasing numbers of women in the military may also make the problem one of military wives abusing civilian husbands, not enough cases have arisen to indicate that this could also be a serious problem. Yet even the Pentagon has publicly acknowledged the gravity of the issue with regard to male personnel. In October of 1997, the Pentagon announced that soldiers who have been convicted of domestic violence would be ordered to turn in their weapons and, in most cases, asked to resign from the service. This policy..."

Early German vs. Early Russian Filmmaking, 2004.
This paper discusses early German vs. early Russian filmmaking
in terms of a controlled versus an uncontrolled narrative perspective.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the primary difference between the early Russian films of the first half of the 20th century and the German Expressionist movement, whose films exemplify an artistic ethos, is the significance given to narrative and to expressing a singular and coherent ideology for the viewer. The author points out that, in the case of Russian filmmakers such as Eisenstein, the narrative and descriptive sequences of the film are manipulated over the course of the film to invest particular images and aspects of the film with great importance. The paper relates that the German cinema creates a more ambiguous sense of meaning within its choice frames; the visual, rather than the story-based aspects of the film?s shot and the film?s overall plot arc, have greater significance.
From the Paper
"The greater emphasis on narrative within early Russian cinema also is evidenced in the way that the Russian directors, most notably Eisenstein, create meaning between frames of narrative, rather than within frame in a miens-en-scene approach. In this approach, the meaning of a single scene has a meaning in and of itself and can be invested with different meanings outside of the filmed narrative sequence. For instance, ?Potemkin? makes use of what is known as a dialectic montage, or a composition of rapidly evolving scenes, too rapid for the viewer?s eye simply to apprehend just one. The composition and the apprehension of scenes all at once creates a singularity of emotion and intent regarding the action, as opposed to a sustained scene where the viewer is able to consider the image and come to his or her own conclusion regarding the events that are transpiring. Miens-en-scene or middle of the scene approach became very popular in postmodernist and post-structuralism critiques and film analysis. Even the most impressionist examples of Russian cinema, such as the ?Man with a Movie Camera,? have a highly ideological and uniform tone, that of the glory of Russia, in sequences where seemingly unrelated images are created."

Foreign Domestic Workers and the Domestic Sphere in Canada, 2002.
A review of an article by text by Arat-Koc on changes in Canadian society towards female participation in the workforce and the part foreign workers play.

Abstract
This essay reviews a text by Arat-Koc that explains changes in Canadian society towards female participation in the workforce, (as well as inadequate arrangements for child care, and how this has produced reliance on foreign domestic employees in the homes of those who are able to afford them. Arat-Koc estimates that the demand for domestic workers, often from Third World countries, will increase, and without careful examination of the conditions under which these women work or scrutiny of the implications of the temporary work visas under which they are admitted to Canada. Foreign workers continue to fill the gaps in the Canadian domestic sphere although there is need for clarification of their safety, working in relative isolation as they do, within private homes, and the likelihood of exploitation.)

Abstract
Although fundamentalists in religious life assert that the answers to all human problems are available in inerrant scriptural form, there is still the problem of interpretation. From the beginning, differing stories, differing translations, and differing interpretations of scripture have led to the development of separate communities and sects within communities.

"Research on Qumran, Early Christians, and Early Rabbinic Judaism
Introduction
Although fundamentalists in religious life assert that the answers to all human problems are available in inerrant scriptural form, there is still the problem of interpretation. From the beginning, differing stories, differing translations, and differing interpretations of scripture have led to the development of separate communities and sects within communities. The intent in this essay is to look at three separate groups the Qumran community, the Early Christians and Early Rabbinic Judaism exploring their major beliefs and their use of canonical scripture."

"The daycare industry is growing. The childcare services industry is one of the most rapidly growing markets, expanding in part due to accommodate the increasingly high demand for quality services. In 1999 the market for childcare services topped out at more than $3.5 billion. The market is expected to surpass $60 billion in revenues in the upcoming years, in part due to the fact that both parents typically are now working in the labor force. ?Child care expenses by households rose 15.7% between 1986 and 1999 alone?. ?Formal daycare service providers in 1999 earned revenues of approximately $1.8 billion, with expenses toping out at approximately $1.7 billion, leaving more than $96 million in profits for daycare providers?. The profit margin is approximately 5.3%."

Libya in the Twentieth Century, 2005.
An overview of the country of Libya during the 20th Century.

Abstract
This paper argues that the history of Libya in the twentieth century was the product of colonialism resistance and revolution. While it must be acknowledged that this description is a generalization and does not fully describe the complexity of Libya's domestic and international political and economic relations during this time, nonetheless this description is broadly accurate. As this essay argues, the twentieth century experience of Libya represents a dramatic narrative of Libyan subjection to European colonialism coinciding with a decades long resistance to this oppression and culminating some years after formal independence in revolution and a period of profound social and political transformation.

Advanced Universal Service, 2005.
Explores the need for universal service based on skills needed to compete in the Information Age and identifies key areas that public telecommunications policies should address in defining universal service for the future.

Abstract
This paper seeks to address whether access to relatively new telecommunications technologies such as the Internet and broadband should be covered by a redefinition of universal service-advanced universal service. This paper examines the concept of universal service from a historical perspective to evaluate its current regulatory status. It examines the needs and barriers to implementing advanced universal service, explains broadband technologies, looks at initiatives to help narrow the digital divide, explores policy objectives and finally makes recommendations for policy makers for basic and advanced universal service. This paper finds that universal service policies should continue to ensure access to basic Internet and that policy makers should continue to closely monitor the deployment of advanced telecommunications technologies to ensure equitable access by all citizens. It does not, however, recommend that advanced universal service be deployed at this time.

From the Paper
"Section 254 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 not only reaffirms the central importance of universal service in telecommunications, but it has vastly expanded the concept. The FCC is charged with assuring that all rates for universal service are just, reasonable, and affordable, not just the rates for interstate service. The word "affordable" had not been used before this legislation, but the 1996 Act introduces the concept of affordability directly and explicitly into national policy. The 1996 Act expands the services to which the universal service concept applies and institutes a formal process for expanding the definition of universal service over time. Although access to the network for high-cost areas and low-income consumers has been supported for years, the 1996 Act explicitly requires this policy and requires that it be implemented with specific and predictable mechanisms, in the form of contributions from all providers of telecommunications services to support universal service. A whole new range of institutions has been identified as having a role in universal service policy."

Abstract
This paper discusses how domestic violence has rightfully evolved from a domestic issue to a serious crime. It explains that this change was the result of many factors: feminist activism, government recommendations, research studies, law suites, and the media raising the public's awareness. The writer points out that by the early 1990s, meaningful changes in the legal system were implemented and domestic violence was finally deemed a federal crime in 1994. The paper concludes that legal reform is still a work in progress - now that domestic violence laws have been strengthened, prevention, treatment, and understanding are the new frontiers for change.

From the Paper
"Today, there is a view that domestic violence is a wrong that should be righted in every state in this country (Model Code on Domestic and Family Violence, 1994, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges). Empowered by stronger domestic abuse laws, legislators, government administrators, law enforcement, courts, attorneys, the medical and health care community, advocates and providers of services to victims, corrections and providers of treatment for offenders, educators, and volunteers now form a wide network to protect the rights of domestic abuse victims. However, this wasn't always the case.
As this paper reveals, until the late 1970s, law enforcement treated domestic violence as a family issue rather than a crime. As the scope of the domestic violence issue grew, feminists, the government, researchers, the courts and the media had to work very hard to create impetus for change. Progress was slow. Only minor changes in the legal system occurred throughout the late 1970s and 1980s. Beginning in the early 1990s, meaningful changes took hold and the legal system and police have moved in the right direction. Yet, there's still more work to be done in prevention, treatment and the recognition that heterosexual women aren't the only victims of domestic violence."
