Abstract
The paper introduces James Baldwin and Emma Goldman - two of the 20th century?s key rhetoricians who managed to de-intellectualize many of the problems facing disempowered social groups. It shows how Baldwin, who writes from France in 1963, addresses a Black audience and offers solutions in overcoming the white social hierarchy in a time before the existence of a black middle class. In comparison, the paper shows how Emma Goldman, the foremost written advocate of anarchy in the 20th century , addresses a mostly urban audience and echoes the concerns for factory workers we hear from prominent socialists such as Upton Sinclair. The paper first discusses Baldwin?s view of freedom and describes Goldman?s, contrasting the two.
From the Paper
"Baldwin uses his experiences as a preacher to segue into an evaluation of religion as it affects blacks in America. Although Baldwin was what we would consider a firebrand preacher, his assessment of Christianity is based on its utility as a methodology for liberating Harlem blacks from their poor collective self-image that he equates with a lack of freedom. Baldwin compellingly states "If the concept of God has any validity or use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time that we got rid of Him." In his positivist approach to religion, he not only demonstrates that he would see it best used as a moral agent in creating freedom, but he also illustrates that his intended audience is that of the leaders of the black community. Baldwin?s image of freedom is thus portrayed as a categorical set of values that allow a group to demand fair treatment."

Abstract
This paper examines how the roots of many of the beliefs, which fostered Emma Goldman's adoption of anarchism and desire to help the working class, were the teachings of her Jewish parents. It looks at how not only she opposed government, but how she believed that all forms of organizations, including that of religions, were frosted with a need to control individuals and was, therefore, detrimental to their freedom and rights to have an abundant life.
From the Paper
"In 1886, when Goldman immigrated to America, she was a young woman of 16 or 17. The following year, in 1887, she learned of the Chicago Haymarket massacre and trial. This knowledge affected her in a way that ignited the anarchic course her life then took. Not until she heard the history of the massacre and the trial from the lips of another young woman, Johanna Greie, was her passions aroused to such a degree as to invoke her into action. Goldman first heard Grie at a meeting of German Socialists in Rochester. Grier spoke to the group about the events that led up to the Haymarket incident--how it was a peaceful meeting of organized workers until the police attacked the workers. "

"Emma Goldman put very little worth upon the idea of government as a protector of the greater society. Emma Goldman rejected the idea that philosophy could ever be political and she spent her time and energy trying to defeat all types of organized government that she so detested. Her radical and uncompromising views on the nature of government left her without a political forum to embrace, and shaped her reaction to and participation in American anarchism? "

This paper examines Emma's attraction to Evelyn, for she sees in Evelyn a version of herself. This paper also reviews the plot and main characters in "Ragtime."
From the Paper
"Emma is drawn to Evelyn, for she sees a version of herself. Both women are products of capitalism. Evelyn uses money and the status it can buy, whereas Emma sees the perverted results of capitalism. Both women are tied inextricably to men in their lives, for they know that as individuals they are powerless. Evelyn uses men (and their money) for support and Emma allows men to use her as a political mouthpiece. Both are in the media spotlight, Evelyn because of her insane husband and Emma for her overt beliefs. Emma confesses, "but there are correspondences, you see, our loves correspond, our spirits touch each other like notes in harmony, and in the total human fate we are sisters." They are sisters since they are women and live the same exploited life, despite their superficial differences."

The civil suit brought against O.J. Simpson by the Brown family is also examined briefly.
From the Paper
"The defense contended that all of this blood evidence was contaminated and/or planted by racists in the LAPD. (CNN.com) But even if Mark Fuhrman is a racist, this does not mean he planted evidence. And even if he did plant the alleged evidence, the fingerprint, this does not make the rest of the evidence pointing to Simpson go away. (Clark 482) The police had no access to Simpson?s blood to plant. ?This was preposterous? All of the blood was observed by investigators before Simpson returned to Chicago. As far as the glove was concerned, not one of the many officers at the crime scene ever saw a second glove there. Hence, there was no second glove to pick up and plant.? Not is there any evidence that anything happened to ruin the blood during the police?s procedures for collecting and testing it."

From the Paper
"Eric Goldman, author of The Crucial Decade--and After: America, 1945-1960, was a history professor at Johns Hopkins University and at Princeton University. Mr. Goldman has written articles for scholarly journals as well as for popular magazines. He is the author of a number of books, of which the most famous is Rendezvous with Destiny. Goldman's point of view is that of a historian, an intellectual and a scholar. He looks for themes, trends, and cause and effect, not for a mere telling of events. He places the events in the tenor of the times and describes the shifts in popular culture and psychology. This gives his work a hint of the point of view of a sociologist, as well.
In his preface to the book, Goldman states that two questions pressed upon him as he considered the history of the United States between 1945 and 1960. One of the questions..."

From the Paper
"This paper deals with the professional bands of John Philip Sousa and Edwin Franko Goldman. It covers the careers of these two men, as well as that of Richard Franko Goldman, Edwin's son, who took over the Goldman Band from his father. It considers the activities of the bands and their influence on band music during the rest of the twentieth century.
The importance of the band -- that is, a wind and percussion ensemble -- in American and European culture is that it was the one vehicle by which ordinary people ever heard serious music, or sometimes any music at all, before the invention of radio. Although string instruments were common and were used in folk and popular music, theater orchestras, etc., string ensembles were nevertheless rather rare and were largely the prerogative of the wealthy, as they had been of the aristocracy. As a result, ..."

Abstract
William Goldman?s ?The Princess Bride? is a tale of time, history and love. However, because he adds an element of fantasy to the story, his characters are able to withstand all sorts of setbacks and overcome various obstacles. The paper shows that in this story, Goldman places love above all else, allowing his character to use super-human strength and unusual occurrences to fight in the name of love. There are many themes in this story that bring up the topic of ethics. This paper also relates details of Goldman?s story to Immanuel Kant?s philosophy of ethics.
From the Paper
"According to Kant, beauty is the eye of the beholder. He states that only knowledge is communicable so the only thing in experience that can be exactly the same for all men is form. The sensations of representations will differ from person to person. Whether or not something is beautiful is based on the viewer?s reaction. In this case, Buttercup never noticed Wesley?s beauty until someone she admired saw it. Kant believed that the idea of taste simply becomes a matter of personal opinion that reflects more on the viewer than on the object itself. He said that an individual cannot judge true beauty because their judgment is too subjective and not at all universal. Buttercup?s love for Wesley proves Kant?s ethical theory, as she showed how her newfound interest and abrupt change in taste set the stage for her love affair."

Abstract
This paper studies the changes women have accomplished through feminism during the early 20th century to today, using the play/book Ragtime as an example of one of the portrayals of women of the time. A comparison of the ideals of women of the early 20th century dealing with feminism using Emma Goldman and her events throughout her life as well as how she is portrayed as a character in the play/book Ragtime, with current female social standing with Gloria Steinem as a representative revealing some of her ideals paralleling to Goldman's.
From the Paper
"Although not an era of radical change, the first ten years of the twentieth century contain a myriad of indications of future transformations. This has proved to be true through the actions and efforts of early feminists as well as today?s. More and more women felt free to choose library work, social work, medicine, and business as a life?s profession in lieu of marriage. In many ways, this century was a new millenium that held special hope and promise for all American women, and they met its challenges with courage, creativity, and conviction. E.L. Doctorow, in his novel Ragtime, demonstrated the transition of women from delicate dependent wives to idealistic, empowered persons during the early twentieth century. Emma Goldman?s inspiring speeches impacted the characters in Ragtime, and their ideals are parallel to current feminists such as Gloria Steinem."

"The Crucial Decade and After: America 1945-1960 ", 2002.
A book review on Goldman's work about the transformation of the post-World War II peace into the globalization of the Cold War.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper sets out to prove that, while Eric Goldman is valuable as a source of details about the era, his work holds little value as an historical piece of work. It traces the life of Goldman and his writing of the work. It criticizes the lack of objectivity in the work and explains the reasons for this lack. It looks at the disparity in writing style of the work and concludes by evaluating the work's value as a whole.
From the Paper
"As far as the relevancy to his subject matter, it is difficult to find fault in Goldman?s work. He does not wander from the topic and his work is very focused. His intent was to give an overview of the events that shaped the cold War. He has access to many first person accounts of conversations and letters written at the time, which other historians could only dream about. He knows little know facts and stories, some of which he witnessed with his own eyes. His coverage of the topic is thorough and complete. "

The Philosophy of Reliabilism, 2005.
This paper argues that Alvin Goldman's naturalized theory of knowledge, reliabilism, is more useful than the classical theory or "justified true belief".
2,165 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 67.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains Alvin Goldman's reliabilism agrees with classical theory that knowledge must be a true belief and that its justification can be any mechanism, which produces a belief with a high degree of accuracy, but that justification must be a causality as the final necessary condition. The author stresses two comparative differences: (1) Goldman's theory is broad, consuming the classical definition and expanding it, which is naturally better at dealing with difficult cases because it has more possible explanations from which to choose, but (2) this broad interpretation does not necessarily make the definition better in terms of clarity. The paper, using two examples, the dolphin's echolocation ability and a person's blind sight, to highlight the difference in knowledge between reliabilism and the classical theorist, concludes that reliabilism is a better epistemic position because this definition of knowledge seems infinitely more practical in terms of explaining scientific discoveries.
From the Paper
"There are many assumptions made about what can make beliefs and how we determine those believes to be true. For example, can animals have beliefs? What kind of thoughts count as a belief? Are subconscious decisions beliefs? Justification plays an even larger role in comparing these two models. Classical theorists define justification as a sound syllogism or inductively sound arguments. Edmund Gettier tries to argue that justified true belief is not sufficient for knowledge."

"China: A New History", 2007.
A review of "China: A New History" by John King Fairbank and Merle Goldman.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that the central thesis of the book is about the level and rate of change in China over the centuries. The book shows how the pace of change was relatively slow for most of Chinese history but was more rapid in the period after the revolution in 1949 and after the death of Chairman Mao. The paper relates how the book focuses on the social, economic and cultural shifts taking place in China over the past two decades and continuing to this day. The paper discusses how the book is comprehensive on its subject and makes good use of existing evidence and research, beginning with archaeological evidence and extending through modern assessments by scholars and political leaders who deal with China.
From the Paper
"For most of the history covered, the authors make use of both primary and secondary sources, though what those sources may be is not always mad clear. The portion of the book written by Fairbank does not cite sources directly for the most part, while the portion written by Goldman does provide the sources used. A look at the Author Index shows this face clearly, for the many pages of authors all refer to pages written by Goldman, while there are no references to other authors in the pages written by Fairbank. Whether this is a change in historical writing or evidence of some other rationale is not clear. Fairbank was the accepted expert on this subject, and he is known to have studied widely and to have read virtually all material published on this and related subjects, reviewing many of them for various publications."

From the Paper
"Regarding Henry II's family, it could be said that within this often turbulent and violent arena, "war was their pleasure, but marriage was their business." This war aspect of the Plantagenets was based in part on Henry's complete unwillingness to share his special heritage with his wife and sons, a heritage of the Anglo-Saxon line via his grandmother Matilda and his father as the hereditary Count of Anjou. Also, through his marriage to Eleanor, Henry II laid claim to Aquitaine and other areas of France, including Brittany, Normandy, Gascony, Toulouse, Maine and Poitou, all of which made up the Angevin Empire."
