Abstract
This paper discusses Ann-Marie MacDonald's play, "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)" and shows how MacDonald uses gender bending and variations on sexuality to challenge and ultimately undermine gender stereotype. In particular, the paper focuses on the character of Constance and how she rises to her full human potential in this play, and in so doing, undermines the gender stereotypes which often function to deny a fully rounded personality to people.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, what MacDonald seems to be saying in this play is that the choice made by Constance is open to all of us - and without alchemy. All that is needed is for us to probe into the powerful depths of our sub-conscious, and in this way choose powerful personal attributes that will enable us to rise to our full human potential. The crucial point is that women may choose supposedly male attributes such as courage, because the gender binary that says most personal attributes are gendered is culturally constituted and illusory. We can have it all, regardless of gender. Thus, MacDonald's play powerfully undermines gender stereotypes."

Abstract
This research paper compares the character of Iago in William Shakespeare's tragedy "Othello" and in Ann-Marie MacDonald's 1988 comedy "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)." To better understand the similarities and differences in both plays, a brief description of each character is given first. The writer claims that there is no doubt that "Othello" is a tragedy of intrigue in spite of the fact that it contains many of the elements of Shakespearean comedies -- the central theme of love, the conflicts between men and women, and the handkerchief, of course, may be seen as a comedic prop. In MacDonald's work, the author uses Shakespeare's work to reflect on her own relationships.
From the Paper
"In MacDonald's play the central character is Constance Ledbelly, an associate professor whose research involves trying to decipher an arcane text that she believes may have been the source for Shakespeare's "Othello" and "Romeo and Juliet." Constance's passion for her literary theory is only surpassed by the crush she has on Professor Claude Night, for whom she has become a factotum, ghostwriting his speeches and papers and doing his research."

Desdemona and Juliet, 2002.
Compares the female characters Desdemona and Juliet from plays by William Shakespeare and looks at the role perception plays in these texts.

Abstract
At the core, Desdemona's dedication to her husband, Othello, is as pure as that of Juliet to Romeo. Desdemona was not blessed with great intellect or passion. Hers was not a love like Juliet's which was forged in fire. (V.ii.323). In the process of destroying Othello, Iago's actions result in the deaths of Othello, Desdemona, Emilia (Iago's wife), Roderigo and the wounding of Cassio and of Iago himself. Perception indeed plays an enormous part in both plays, but perhaps no more so than in "Othello".

The Morning-After Pill, 2006.
An debate on the moral legitimacy of the morning-after pill.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper proposes that birth control would prevent the 800,000 abortions performed annually in the United States. The writer describes how the availability of new emergency birth control, the morning-after pill, has caused the anti-abortion forces to swing into full gear with cries of "immoral" and "irresponsible." The writer argues that for more than 60 million American women of childbearing age, more than half of whom wish to avoid pregnancy, the morning after pill is a product they need and want. The paper explores what the pill is and how it works, answers some of the objections to it, and explains why it is needed.
From the Paper
"Those opposed to the morning after pill say it is just another blow to families. Neff (1997), for example, complains that it was not manufacturers who wanted FDA approval for a morning after pill, but "the so-called women's groups--political advocates of a narcissistic individualism who want to sever sex and its pleasures from reproduction and its responsibilities" (p. 11). If this is so, if it was women themselves who called for emergency contraception, it shows that women want and demand control over their bodies and reproductive capacity."

The Morning After Pill, 2007.

Abstract
The writer argues that the morning-after pill is one more strategy for controlling reproduction. The paper examines how the pill offers women a second chance to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, a "Plan B" to go to if the first plan fails. The paper further examines how emergency contraception is safe and reliable and effective for nearly 90% of women. The writer concludes that taking a morning-after pill is far from irresponsible; it makes good sense.
From the Paper
"Emergency contraception is extremely safe. A combined dose of four 50-microgram pills is only about 1/3 of the estrogen contained in a month's supply of birth control pills. Women in the 1960s, when birth control pills first came out, took 50-micrograms every single day! Other medicines, which were once prescription-only, have become over the counter medicines with no problems--why not this needed product? Ferriman (1996) reports, "Nine out of ten women who have had abortions say they would have preferred to use emergency contraception if they had known about it." She also states that 70% of abortions could be prevented by emergency contraception."

Henry Greenwood Bugbee's "The Inward Morning", 2007.

Abstract
This paper explains that Henry Greenwood Bugbee in "The Inward Morning: A Philosophical Exploration in Journal Form" states that meaning is found in "the rhythm of daily life" when people attend to ideas as they come along. The author feels that moments of insight come from looking at the whole and spotting a pattern instead of breaking experiences down and analyzing each little bit. The paper relates that, when a person becomes so absorbed in his or her work that he or she completely forgets everything else--the time, personal problems and sense of self or ego--then he or she has found his or her "calling" and feel most authentic.
From the Paper
"Bigbee (1958, 1976) compares reflection to tilling the soil and turning it over and over. He is in favor of reflection, of course, but he warns that "a sense of estrangement from the truth that is one's own" can be the result if we go about it the wrong way. It reminds me of something my grandmother told me. She had Freudian psychoanalysis when she was young, and she said it was like stirring a big pot of garbage over and over and calling it soup. She was old when she said that. I think the problem is analysis itself as a method for getting at the truth."

Sunday Morning Worship, 2005.
A review of the principles of the Christian faith and attending Church on a Sunday morning.

Abstract
This paper examines the matter of Sunday morning worship in the Christian faith. This paper leans towards Catholic practices, however, many denominations can find useful information here. The paper is divided into three distinct sections: order of liturgy, involving the whole congregation in the worship, and the usefulness of music and singing to the worship proceedings.
From the Paper
"A simple Sunday morning gathering cannot be considered worship in the strictest sense unless the goal of the gathering is to praise the Christian God and espouse the principles upon which the church was founded. For far too many people, Sunday morning worship has been reduced to little more than that "thing" we do between the hours of eleven and twelve in the morning once a week. This conception of Christian worship is counterproductive to the true purpose of public worship and its place in the Christian faith. The objective of public worship is to give thanks and praise God for not only our existence but also for his. But it must be stressed that the public worship service transcends an individual communion with the creator. Instead, public worship implies a collective effort to connect with the presence of God."

Morning Sickness, 2004.
An analysis of morning sickness, which afflicts women in their first trimester of pregnancy.

Abstract
This paper presents the physiological symptoms that occur to pregnant women who suffer from morning sickness. The paper analyzes research on this topic carried out by M. Profet in "Pregnancy Sickness as Adaptation," which suggests that pregnancy sickness represents a lowering of the usual human threshold of tolerance to toxins in order to compensate for the extreme vulnerability of the embryo to toxins during organogenesis, the period of maximum susceptibility to toxins.
From the Paper
"Pregnancy sickness is commonly referred to as morning sickness. It is often defined as a set of symptoms that occur in some women during the first trimester of pregnancy. Women with pregnancy sickness may experience food aversions, nausea, and vomiting (Profet, 1992). Profet argued that these symptoms of pregnancy evolved during the course of human evolution to protect the embryo against maternal ingestion of toxins abundant in natural foods. She suggested that pregnancy sickness represents a lowering of the usual human threshold of tolerance to toxins in order to compensate for the extreme vulnerability of the embryo to toxins during organogenesis, the period of maximum susceptibility to toxins."

"Morning Song", 2006.
A review of the poem "Morning Song" by Sylvia Plath.

Abstract
This paper examines Sylvia Plath's poem "Morning Song," which describes a young mother who feels overwhelmed by her new role. By analyzing the symbolism of Plath's words, the paper shows that the mother in this poem feels burdened and irritated by her new responsibilities -- an upset of the typical warm feelings society expects women to have about motherhood.
From the Paper
"Despite her negative reactions to the responsibilities of becoming a mother, she continues caring for and loving her baby as is expected. The mother "wake[s] to listen" (line 11). "One cry, and [she] stumble[s] from bed" (line 13). She responds to all her baby's needs promptly, including the cries which wake her in the middle of the night. In addition, she wakes just to listen, worrying about the baby during the night. This nervousness concerning the baby's condition confirms that the mother cares for and worries about her baby as most mothers do. The devotion to meet all her baby's needs without delay overrides the mother's desire to go back to sleep, or disappear from all her responsibilities."

"Sunday Morning", 2001.
An analysis of the presence of religion in everyday life from a democratic and spiritual approach by reviewing Wallace Stevens' poem, "Sunday Morning".

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the themes and messages of Wallace Stevens' poem "Sunday Morning". It explores the following themes: Religion is not connected to a sacred time or a sacred community, Religion and religious experience is the province of all, religion is present everywhere. It includes key excerpts from the poem that explain the author's intentions when writing the poem. The poem addresses the search for meaning that every human being experiences.
From the Paper
"One of the most important themes in American Literature is the presence of the sacred in the everyday. Religion is not relegated to a sacred time or a sacred community. Religion and religious experience is the province of all. It is possible everywhere one goes. It is not only possible in old and archaic lands. Wallace Stevens' poem "Sunday Morning" explores these themes by beginning with a very banal image, that of a woman having breakfast on a Sunday morning. Note that she is not in church, even though it is Sunday."

"The Inward Morning", 2007.
A discussion of the philosophical text "The Inward Morning" by Henry Greenwood Bugbee.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the author of "The Inward Morning", Henry Greenwood Bugbee, maintains that it is impossible to know anything for sure. The paper explains that rather than seeing the state of constant doubt as dangerous, Bugbee sees this as one of the blessings of the human condition. The paper looks at Bugbee's belief that the only thing that is anxiety-provoking is the false notion that there is one correct path for all people.
From the Paper
"The Inward Morning is a philosophical text that makes a profound statement against philosophical certainty and the quest for absolute truth. It is a very appropriate work to read by people who are living today, in an age filled with many possible ways of living and many possible truths, an age that is often called the post-modern age of doubt. The availability of so many options and choices can make the modern world seem frustrating and confusing. This book suggests that confusion is not necessarily a bad thing, but a natural part of human experience. The only thing that is anxiety-provoking is the false notion that there is one correct path for all people."

Abstract
In this review of the book "Morning Glories: Municipal Reform in the Southwest", the writer maintains that what makes this book so special is the warning it gives to readers about the needs for limiting the role of industry in politics. The writer points out that given the negative associations with both major parties, independence may seem like a positive value. However, the writer notes that the increased non partisanship in the Southwest did not lead to a more representative structure of government, and the civic 'reform' managers were more, rather than less influenced by wealthy interests that made up a minority of the population. The writer concludes that Bridges offers no solutions to the problems of today, but she does raise troubling questions about contemporary trends in American political life through her study of the regional politics of the American past.
From the Paper
"Of course, today the legacies of municipal reform movements are felt everywhere in the United States, most notably in the nation's strong civil service system, based upon tests and merit rather than patronage, independent voter registration, and other things we take for granted--but only in the Southwest were reformers truly blessed with victories at the polls. The value of Bridges' book is that it regionalizes American civic development, rather than suggesting American urban and suburban politics proceeds as a seamless whole. Bridges creates a historical narrative that traces the development of reform from the 19th century Progressives to the grass roots reformers of the 1970s and 1980s. In contrast to the corruption of the North, and even in contrast to the common self-image of the Southwest as characterized by 'pure' government only on small-scale suburban levels, a number of major Southwestern cities, such as San Diego, were dominated by nonpartisan mayors and city governments, the result of reformer's demand nonpartisan elections."
