Abstract
Harriet Jacobs' narrative in "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" and Susanna Rowson's "Charlotte Temple" both reveal, in very different ways, how patriarchy sets the foundation for the sexual exploitation of women. In essence, both works reveal how the social construction of sexual values is perpetrated by men to the disadvantage of women.

Abstract
This paper shows how both Jacobs' and Rowson's narratives indicate how male patriarchy sets the foundation for the sexual exploitation of women. Male elites construct the parameters within which sexuality is understood. In this context, women are exploited, since the parameters themselves are meant to segregate women to a subordinate sphere.

Abstract
This paper tries to explore the exploitation of sex in advertising and is broken down into sections involving, men, women and children. It defines what exploitation is and tries to determine the limits of what advertisers can use before it becomes pornography. It looks at how the exploitation of sex and women in advertising has been going on as as early as the mid 1400s in wood carved signs on store fronts and how the exploitation of men as ?beefcakes? has been more recent. It discusses how the biggest criticisms are the exploitations of prepubescent children in advertising. Picture examples of different advertisements are included.

"Voices, whether male or female are chosen to convey a specific message to an intended market. The when choosing a orator, a determination needs to be made initially whether the ad is being portrayed as coming from an announcer or a spokesperson. A spokesperson must portray the part of an actual user of the good or service, where, as the announcer must have an authoritative intonation. Announcers are primarily men, because of the deeper voices that exude authority. Although one study (Frieden 1984) showed that there was not a significant difference in the effect of having a male or female voice, rather that men are usually chosen as announcers more out of habit than necessity. Many times advertisers and companies will use celebrity voice-overs or celebrity spokespersons in commercials because of the recognition of their voices without having to see the person. The best example of this is James Earl Jones (AT&T) or William Shattner (Priceline.com). Both of these men have very distinct and recognizable voices that demand high salaries for this type of work.

Black Women's Sexual Exploitation, 2002.
A brief history of the objectification of the black woman in American history.

Abstract
A paper which shows how black women have been treated as objects throughout the history of American society. Beginning from when they were brought on slave ships, black women's bodies have never been their own. Even throughout the present day, black women remain the subject of exploitation from white and black men alike. The paper includes references from movies, essays and books.
From the Paper
"African American women were never able to fully enjoy that which made them women. The idea of demure, virginal beings has never been used to refer to their traits, by whites. Instead, throughout history, black women have been characterized as sexual predators, on the prowl , with seduction and lust on their minds. In the U.S., these beliefs have been re-designed and often disguised, but their impact is emblazed in the hearts and minds of black women. These perceptions caused deep wounds that were passed from generation to generation, much the same as hair or eye color, and as a result produced the instinctive ?secret?. This secret is the sexual exploitation of black women and the construction of them as sexual beings that has endured throughout American history. ?Sexual abuse, assault, rape is so much a part of our history that it is a historical fact? (Dash, ?Daughters of the Dust Dialogue? pg. 50). This secret has moved with us, always resurfacing and playing out in our history. Even so, black women never allowed themselves to let this limit their progress. While the story of sexual mistreatment and abuse of black women is one of pain and hurt, it also shows the intense strength and endurance of the black woman and how black women overcome this manipulation."

"Sexual Harassment and Sexual Revictimization
Background to the Study
Over the last two decades, research studies have documented significant rates of child sexual abuse among both female and male children. Estimates for female children under the age of 18 who have experienced at least one incident of abuse ranges from 1 in 4 to 1 in 2.5 among nonclinical samples (Kohn, 1987; Wyatt, 1985). Estimates for male children are approximately 1 in 8.
There are a number of effects that have been associated with childhood sexual abuse, including psychological, sexual, and interpersonal difficulties (Briere, 1992). One additional problem that has been associated with early abuse is sexual..."

"Harriet Jacobs", 2002.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the way that Jacobs combines apologies, instructions and narratives. It discusses how Harriet Jacob's slave narrative is often addressed directly to the reader, appealing to them, apologizing to them and trusting them to read her experiences and share her outrage. Her unique style draws the reader into the narrative, making them feel almost as if they were experiencing the indignation she experienced as a southern slave before the Civil War. The writer explains that today, it is difficult to believe people had to live in these kinds of situations, and yet they did, and it is one of the periods in history that shame and diminish America.
From the Paper
"Harriet Jacobs, or Linda Brent, was born a slave, and she opens her book with this simple statement, "I was born and reared in Slavery; and I remained in a Slave State twenty-seven years" (Jacobs 459). When she set about to write her experiences as a slave, she used a unique style which spoke to the reader throughout the narrative, as if she was sitting and speaking with whoever was reading her book. Sometimes she apologizes to the reader for what she is about to relate, sometimes she rages at the reader for allowing slavery to continue, and sometimes she simply states what her life was like as a being owned by another. In fact, she opens her narrative with an apology to the reader. "I wish I were more competent to the task I have undertaken. But I trust my readers will excuse deficiencies in consideration of circumstances" (Jacobs 459). Her personal story is sometimes difficult to read because of the cruelties and inhumanity shown to the slaves, however, it cannot help but stir emotion in the reader, and her very personal comments directed at the reader add pathos and drama to her writing."

Exploitation, 2002.
A discussion of Karl Marx's theory of capatalist exploitation.
1,169 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper attempts to introduce Karl Marx's view of capitalist exploitation, which states that the bourgeoisie is the ruling class in capitalist society, which owns the means of production, while the proletariat is the working class, whose sole commodity is his labor power. It examines the issue of how division of labor further increases the exploitation of the worker and how the exploitation of the worker is not confined simply to the bourgeois capitalist who employs him, but also to all the other capitalists who form the society around the proletarian worker.
From the Paper
"In order to keep the worker subjugated, the bourgeois capitalist only provides the laborer with the basic requirements for continued existence. In evidence of this, Marx claims, ?The costs occasioned by the worker are limited almost entirely to the subsistence which he requires for his maintenance and reproduction of his race. The price of a commodity, and therefore of labor, is equal to its costs of production.? By giving the worker the minimum one can possible allow him, only barely allowing enough for the necessities, the proletarian can never acquire any property of his own, and thus never has any hopes of gaining the means of production for himself."

Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts the experiences of Harriet Jacobs and Fredrick Douglass. The writer explores the differences between the treatment of male and female slaves using the texts written by the two former slaves as a guide. The paper discusses how, while Jacobs and Douglass started out as slaves, they worked hard to escape and then used their abilities to help others who had been enslaved. The paper shows how, instead of turning bitter and inward, they both penned their experiences to help the world understand the true ramifications of slavery.

The Differences and Similarities
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The days of slavery in America left a permanent black mark on the nation's character that can never be fully erased, however, by working to understand what African Americans were forced to endure at the hands of their masters and society during that era Americans be sure to never let the desire for slavery enter the picture again. Two well known former slaves have placed their experiences in writing so that readers can understand with a first hand account what the humans called slaves had to face every day during their childhood and adult years at the hands of those who "owned" them. If the two experiences are placed side by side it becomes evident that there are many similarities that apply to all slave treatment but there are also differences that must be attributed to the gender differences."

Theory of Exploitation, 2004.
A description of Karl Marx's evolving theory of exploitation.
2,618 words (approx. 10.5 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 78.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Karl Marx saw all of world history and economics as a being driven by various forms of class exploitation, in sometimes better and sometimes worse contexts. This paper shows that if one were to compare Marx?s ?Alienated Labor? and "Capital", for example, one would see a definite change in his perspective on the way in which capitalism works upon the laboring class. However, one central idea remains relatively consistent through his writings -- a firm belief in the capitalist?s exploitation of the working class stemming from the inherent inequality between the worker?s wage and the selling price of his product, which became the profit of the capitalist.
From the Paper
"To some degree the compatibility between Marx?s earlier assertions and his later claims is evident if one examines the modern global situation. In developed countries, where the standard of living has progressed, workers are being sustained as a class from the profits of capitalists, and granted their basic needs in most (though certainly not all) cases, though at least in America the minimum wage required by law is still below the living wage in many sectors of the country. These working class individuals are both workers and consumers, and their need to consume is such that it is able to sustain and fuel capitalism?s need to produce. At the same time, much of the profit accrued by major capitalists is not being gained in America where workers are sufficiently paid to purchase many products, but is rather being produced overseas where wages are significantly lower."

Abstract
This paper examines how the term exploitation film comes from the practice of exploitation, advertising or promotional techniques and looks at how these types of films are not cast with big stars and therefore need controversial issues to gain attention. Topics covered include sex hygiene films, censorship, drug and vice films.
From the Paper
"Exotic films became known as pseudo-ethnographic. They would depict scenes from everyday life and rituals of other cultures. Karl G. Heider defined ethnography as "a way of making a detailed description and analysis of human behavior based on long-term observational study on the spot" (Schaefer 266). One early ethnographic film was Nanook of the North. This film helped lay the foundation for the exotic exploitation film. The film that started exotic exploitation was Ingagi, which is often classified as a horror film. Ingagi is about the exploration of the Congo to investigate reports of a gorilla-worshipping tribe (imdb.com)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper defines child exploitation as any active mistreatment or intentional neglect of a child that results in harm or injury and which cannot be reasonably explained as inadvertent. The paper maintains that more needs to be done by governments, law enforcement agencies, social workers and the general public if child exploitation is to be reduced and ultimately eliminated.
From the Paper
"Child exploitation is a form of abuse generally defined as any active mistreatment or intentional neglect of a child that results in harm or injury, and which cannot be reasonably explained as inadvertent. Child exploitation primarily involves overt abuse such as physical harm or maltreatment related to sexual abuse or labor exploitation, and inevitably inflicts severe emotional and psychological damage, as well as physical suffering."
"Drew Oosterbaan, the head of the United States Justice Department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, warns "that children are in more danger than ever before from child exploitation. We see child pornography escalating, not just in terms of numbers, not just in the amount or frequency of distribution of child pornography we see, but most especially in the nature of the child pornography we see," (Bansal) which is increasingly featuring pornographic Internet images of children being violently raped and abused."

Abstract
In comparing Harriet Ann Jacobs in "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl", and Genji in "The Tale of Genji" (Murasaki Shikibu), the paper shows the two could not have led more different lives when looked at on the surface, but when they are examined more closely there are similarities. The paper describes how Jacobs grew up as a slave girl and Genji in a royal court and their lives were different on a day to day basi, but both characters shared two important similarities - the love of family and friends and the the tragic loss of their mothers at a young and vulnerable age.
From the Paper
"As for Genji, growing up in the Emperor's royal court in Japan, he was also much loved by family and friends. He did not have the hardships that Jacobs had with her bondage to the white man, but Genji did have his own problems. He had many interests in different women, but was rejected. Through it all he kept a light heart and did not fall into despair, much like Jacobs did not despair over her troubles, either. Genji has his mother to show him what love of family was all about, but when she died, he was fortunate to have his father there to continue her tradition. Many would think that the Emperor would be a gruff man who was busy with business affairs and didn't have time for his children, but that couldn?t be farther from the truth. He loved Genji very much, and he spent enough time with him for that to be truly realized in Genji's heart instead of just being some vague notion inside his head."

Globalization and Exploitation in the Name of Free Trade, 2008.

Abstract
By examining information pertaining to recent economic history and policies, this paper analyzes economic globalization and the dangers of exploitation it imposes . The paper illustrates how the increasing acceleration and intensity of economic globalization in recent years has already inflicted destructive economic, political, social and cultural consequences upon millions of people around the world. The paper argues that the ultimate result of globalization will be an entrenched global economy that further empowers and enriches the interconnected economic and political establishment in every country and further impoverishes the powerless and the poor.
From the Paper
"The ongoing pattern of economic globalization first emerged in the early 1970s, although its origins lie in the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944 and the immediate post-World War II era. For more than two decades, roughly between 1945 and 1970, the combined effects of a global marketplace and the welfare state produced a golden economic era for people in almost every socioeconomic bracket in North America and Western Europe. (IMF)
"For awhile, income inequality declined and most people saw their standards of living improve as a consequence of economic growth, moderately progressive income taxes, and the expansion of income transfer programs. People living in the United States and Western Europe benefited the most from prevailing economic and trade policies, but even in the developing world, poverty and unemployment declined in the early years of globalization."

Lee Jacobs' Article: "John Kenneth Galbraith: The Position of Poverty", 2008.

Abstract
This study critically analyzes the idea of case poverty and insular ioverty in the article "John Kenneth Galbraith: The Position of Poverty" by Lee Jacobs. The paper explains that, by understanding the different types of poverty that keep many in the lower echelons of society, Galbraith positions that case poverty is a real concept in determining those that cannot function effectively within society. The paper further suggest that, by critical evaluating this concept, one can argue that Galbraith shows a great deal of insight into poverty, and what factors keep members of a population in the lower classes through government intervention. The paper then applies this concept to the poor in Southeast Asian countries.
From the Paper
"These ironic features that are contained within economic barren areas reflect the way that governmental development influences what is to be deemed insular poverty. For instance, if a country like Cambodia has resources in rice, a lack of government development could make Cambodia behave within Galbraith's definition of insular poverty without geographical isolation. ...
"This factor further helps develop the terms of poverty that are imposed upon people, through the so-called insular factors of poverty."

Abstract
Slavery in America created a legacy that has been both troubling and poignant. For instance many of the tensions which exist between African-Americans and White Americans today are the result of this legacy.. At the same time there were individual acts of heroism by slaves and by their sympathizers which have been fortunately captured for posterity. For having the ability to endure in a world that was not entirely congenial to them, both Phyllis Wheatley and Harriet Jacobs deserve enormous respect. This paper discusses the important similarities and differences between these two historical African-American figures.
