" INTRODUCTION
Max and Dave Fleischer started in animation in the silent era and continued into sound and through the heyday of short film animation. They were one of the few silent studios aside from that of Disney to last into the 1940s, continuing beyond studios like Van Buren or Ub Iwerks (though Iwerks did return to the Disney fold and work on animated films after his own studio folded). The Fleischer's created a number of characters of lasting value, two of the most notable being Betty Boop and Popeye, and form the silent era, Koko the Klown. Betty Boop was a character who epitomized a certain attitude in the Depression years, though in some ways she was out of her proper time and is more a flapper of the 1920s than the showgirl of the 1930s. She can be seen as evoking the sort of optimism needed in the years.."

From the Paper
"One day we were playing a game of "horse" on a playground about two blocks from Billy's house. I didn't know that his dad had told him he could not leave the yard, but in this case he had tagged along with his big brother and was watching all of us shoot baskets, and it seemed real innocent. Billy wanted to be like us; he loved sports, and though he wasn't very good, he tried real hard. He had physical and emotional limitations, I could tell. We were having fun - until Billy's dad pulled up in his black SUV on the street next to the playground. We knew that car. And we all new how violent the dad was. His dad left the car running, got out, and opened the back door. We stopped shooting baskets and watched his dad pull a very wide belt out of the back seat. It looked like one of those old fashioned belts that barber shops used to sharpen their razors. If you've ever been in an old-fashioned barbershop you know the kind."

Emile Durkheim and Max Weber on Religion, 2008.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the ideas of the French thinker Emile Durkheim and the German economist Max Weber. The writer discusses how Durkheim was interested in defining and explaining religion as a force that drives people, whereas Max Weber focused on identifying its relationship to other social and economic phenomena. Durkheim believed that religion is the basis of social organization and behavior, while Max Weber did not look at the population as a whole when analyzing its religious aspects, but at each individual. The writer concludes that, although their views differed on how religion influences society, in attempting to establish new rules and view religion from different perspectives they represent, together with Karl Marx, the foundational sociological traditions examining the "institution" of religion.
From the Paper
"Both Emile Durkheim and Max Weber approached religion in order to identify its connections with external forces. While Durkheim looked at religion in terms of a social connection and a social determination, Weber analyzed it from the standpoint of economic development. The approach taken by Durkheim is more complex in regard to the actual religious features as it presents the sacred and profane division of human activities, whereas Weber's approach is more economic and tries to identify a connection between economically emerging countries and the religion practiced by its inhabitants."

Abstract
Titchner versus Wertheimer
Edward Titchner
Max Wertheimer
Gestalt Psychology
Comparing Structural and Gestalt
From the Paper
"Walter (1997) distinguishes between Wertheimer's Gestalt and Titchner's approach based on the conscious mind. Researchers (Rausch, 1949 and Hoeth, 1979 as cited by Walter, 1997) believe that if Titchner defines the conscious mind as knowledge based on interactions the individual can recall and then verbalize in what might be called self-determination, then Titchner is ignoring the unconscious in his rational based view. Wertheimer, on the other hand, doesn't believe the unconscious has any more to do with self-determination than does the conscious mind, "the inaccessible no less than the accessible, the ground no less than the distinguishable figure, the functionally bound...no less than that which is seen, the visual constant...no less than the visual variable" (Rausch, 1949 and Hoeth, 1979 as cited by Walter, 1997)."

Abstract
This paper discusses George Miller's 1979 film "Mad Max" and its relevance to Australian character and identity. It looks at the physical and social infrastructure depicted and the film's vision of the horrors of the world's overly dependence on costly oil fuel. The paper contends that the universal aspect of the film's hero--Mel Gibson's Max--is as significant as the movie's expression of Australian identity.
From the Paper
"George Miller's film Mad Max pays homage to aspects of Australian national character constructions of gender and identity and culture. However though some critics including Lorraine Mortimer position the film as emanating from an imagined nation-community ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses Max Sandlin's political achievement. The author provides examples of his political, social, legal and congressional contribution to the American society. For example, Max Sandlin voted in favor of abortions and birth defects prevention.
From the Paper
"Sandlin?s political philosophy is perhaps something of a reflection of that rather unique hometown of his. His political philosophy seems to favor an open-minded approach to all topics placed on the agenda, and his record shows that he will then examine each topic from his vantage point - an invisible line drawn right down the middle.

Max Lucado's "In the Grip of Grace", 2008.
This paper is a critique of Max Lucado's work "In the Grip of Grace", with a focus on the opening parable in the story and Lucado's personal views as seen in his work.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the work of Max Lucado, "In the Grip of Grace." The author first discusses Lucado's opening parable based on a father and five sons. The author then goes onto criticize it as unnatural and states the firm view that from the characters of the parable who are dismissed as savages, to the people who complain that their parachutes are the wrong color, Lucado manages to write off a great deal of humanity as not worth consideration. While he touts the grace of God, he creates the impression that he, Max Lucado, has a key that no one else has been given.
From the Paper
"As an exegesis on Paul's epistle to the Romans, this book is an earnest attempt to expand and illuminate Paul's teaching. While this is one of Lucado's earlier books, it shows that strength of intellect that would carry him through more than fifty books. ("Max Lucado") Unfortunately, it also shows an off-putting stiffness. The parable illustrates this. Comparing Lucado's parable to such parables as the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, Lucado's tale feels strained. Jesus' parables sound reasonable. Consider the opening to the Good Samaritan. 'There was a man who was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when robbers attacked him, stripped him and beat him up, leaving him half dead.' (Luke 10:25) It is simple and direct, and what comes after follows logically. The characters react in genuinely human ways. The Samaritan shows love for his neighbor, although this man is a stranger. The faithful son is offended when his father responds to the prodigal's return with a feast."

Max Weber's Ideal Types, 2006.
A discussion regarding Max Weber's theory of the ideal type.
1,018 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how according to the 19th century sociologist Max Weber, an ideal type is a kind of useful abstraction. It is a pure idea that does not directly correspond to a social reality, but it makes reality more clear, for the purpose of classification and analysis. The paper explains that Weber believed using ideal types was vital to the social sciences.
From the Paper
"Weber developed his ideal types as a way of understanding and explaining real world authority-legitimacy relationships between the rulers and the ruled in comparative perspective. It will be noted that, for all of the diversity of the three types, and the diversity of personas within those types, one common thread unites them all, that of the fact that the defined types all relate to power, the fact that one party possess power and another power does not. The Western World defines the West in opposition to a less or more powerful East, bureaucracy or feudalism describes particular relations in a hierarchy, and even 'economic man' examines the relationship of humanity to the capricious marketplace, and the power the marketplace has over someone within a capitalist system. The degree of power in different relationships within all of these categories varies from era to era."

Max's Defense in ?Native Son?, 2002.
An analysis of Max's defense of Bigger Thomas in "Native Son" by Richard Wright.

Abstract
This paper examines the book, "Native Son", by Richard Wright and, in particular, looks at how Boris Max uses his defense of Bigger Thomas to state his own beliefs, as a pulpit as it were. It analyzes how, knowing Bigger is guilty, his own desires and viewpoints come into play and, in effect, it shows how Bigger's trial is not so much about guilt or innocence, but what causes men to behave the way they do and whose responsibility their behavior ultimately becomes.
From the Paper
"Max uses blindness in his passionate argument to the judge, and this same blindness is a continuing theme throughout the book. Max eloquently tells the judge that if he reacts only to Max's comments about the sufferings of Negroes, he will be "blinded" by feelings that prevent him from understanding reality and acting accordingly. Max pleads, "Rather, I plead with you to see... an existence of men growing out of the soil prepared by the collective but blind will of a hundred million people" (Wright 328), and continues, "Your Honor, in our blindness we have so contrived and ordered the lives of men" (Wright 336). Thus, Max sees blindness in this instance is a threat to the state, along with a threat to men's freedom."

Abstract
When interpreting the work of a political theorist, it is useful to relate his theoretical work to the major events of his own time. This paper examines the political, sociological, and economic works of Max Weber within the social and political context of the nineteenth-century. The paper further explains that doing so serves to historicize Weber's contributions to political theory and reveals how his work relates to the existing social and political distribution of power in his own society.

From the Paper
"The church domesticated medieval Europe by means of its system of confession and penance, but for the men of the middle ages the possibility of unburdening themselves through the channel of the confessional when they had rendered themselves liable to punishment meant a release from the consciousness of sin, which the teachings of the church had called into being. The unity and strength of the methodical conduct of life were thus, in fact, broken up. In its knowledge of human nature the..."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper summarizes Max Weber's thoughts and provides readers with insight into political social thought in the 17th and 18th centuries. The author points out that Weber builds his argument on Karl Marx's idea of social action perpetuating social behavior. The paper relates that Weber's theory of the birth of the spirit of capitalism in western Europe has had a profound effect on the thinking of sociologists and historians.
From the Paper
"Max Weber was at first an economic professor, particularly economic history, however he soon was recognized for his sociological ideologies. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism was written by Max Weber and first published in 1904. In his book, Weber studies the psychological conditions that propelled the development of capitalism and analyses the connection between society's desire for wealth and the spread of Calvinism in post reformed United Kingdom and Europe. Weber's theory of the birth of the spirit of capitalism in western Europe has had a profound effect on the thinking of sociologists and historians since its publication in 1904 (Engerman, para. 2001)."

A look at the religious affiliations of sociologist Max Weber.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
According to both late and contemporary social theorists, Max Weber's greatest and best-articulated work falls within the realms of religious discourse. It is Weber's writing, ?The Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism,? that signifies Weber's most well-known and disputed work.
This paper looks at Weber's religious affiliation throughout the course of his life and identifies the roots of his religious curiosity. In addition, the paper explores some of Weber's theories pertaining to religion. This research also addresses the legitimacy of ?The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit of Capitalism? from the angle of Weber's critics while addressing other aspects of Weber's religious ideas.
From the Paper
"As Weber's work continued, he began to write of persons known as pariah. Weber became interested in this group because of the route they took to achieve capitalistic success. Unlike the Protestants, which will be discussed later in this paper, the pariah people were individuals thatwere a member of a persecuted group due to their religious affiliation. The Jews are the example, or ideal type, that Weber often discusses. Jewish persons have attained great economic success in the United States, and Weber attributes this to their struggle against persecution. Although this route towards achieving economic success differs greatly from that of the Protestants, Weber adds legitimization to their plight. Weber's work on Pariah people holds true today in the current U.S. society. Jewish Americans are among the most economically successful religious groups of today. There is little dispute over the validity of the theory of the Pariah people by modern social theorists. It appears to be a well-accepted doctrine."
