Abstract
This paper discusses how throughout the course of the history of the United States, the balance between individual liberty and equality has been repeatedly tested from the eradication of slavery to the issues of freedom, security and free speech. It looks at how a balance can be struck on all of these issues and how currently, the authority of the government far outweighs that of the individual in American society.
From the Paper
"In The Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton marks that the surest way for despotism to arise is for the ideal of liberty and democracy are pursued zealously without any kind of government controls (Hamilton, Madison, and Jay 3). If the democracy and individual liberty were pursued and strengthened without end, it would provide the exact conditions for the emergence of a despot or, perhaps worse, would facilitate the realization of Tocqueville's tyranny of the masses. Tocqueville saw that the basic essence of a democracy was the absolute sovereignty of the majority (Tocqueville vol. 1, ch. XV). "

From the Paper
"This study will examine the concepts of equality held by Locke and Rousseau in relation to liberty as expressed in theories of democracy. The study will also consider whether these concepts throw light on the behaviors described in JeanFrancois Steiner's Treblinka and in the participatory workplace as envisioned by Carole Pateman in Participation and Democratic Theory.
There is no doubt that Rousseau favors a government which is based on democracy, equality and liberty. However, in endorsing such qualities, he warns that not every society is capable of sustaining them. Rousseau writes, in this context, that I would have wanted to be born in a country where the sovereign and the people could have but one and the same interest, so that all the movements of the machine always tended only to..."

Abstract
This paper scrutinizes the phenomenon of political correctness through the lens of three classic novels that deal with this topic. The novels, which each confront utopianism, are George Orwell's "1984", Ray Bradbury's "The Affluence of Despair" and Robert Bly's "Little Book on the Human Shadow". This paper demonstrates how these novels were conceived by the authors as spiritual warnings against what they considered destructive social trends. Through a review and critique of these stories, the author attempts to support his thesis that like the societies depicted in these novels, American society today is also endangered by utopianism. In America, asserts the author of this paper, it is the feminists, gays and other supporters of the liberal agenda who are most dangerous to true liberty.
From the Paper
"Orwell rightly noticed that in totalitarian country the government would try to deprive people of the sense of personal uniqueness, by making them to feel being just a particle of huge social machine. Since there is no way that people can be effectively deprived of their emotions and physical drives, Communist society will try to redirect them in such way that these emotions would be "harmlessly" released. The best way to do it is when person is encouraged to become emotional only within certain boundaries. An individual can be happy as long as it a "social happiness" and he/she is also allowed to feel hate, but only towards Party's enemies: "All over Oceania this morning there were irrepressible spontaneous demonstrations when workers marched out of factories and offices and paraded through the streets with banners voicing their gratitude to Big Brother for the new, happy life which his wise leadership has bestowed upon us." (Orwell, p. 15)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the legal basis of the situation of women in the military, and relevant court cases such as Hoyt v. Florida, Taylor v. Louisiana, US vs. St. Clair, Rostker v. Goldberg, Craig v. Boren, and Schlesinger vs. Ballard. Discusses myths and truths regarding women and military service. Argues for equal rights, equal obligations, and equal opportunities within military and civilian spheres.
From the paper:
"Men and women are treated unequally in regards to military service. Men are required to register for the Selective Service when they turn 18, while women are exempt. While women are allowed to perform most jobs in the military, they are still restricted from some combat roles. This gender inequality stems from antiquated notions of female weakness and domesticity, which have no legal validity in our society today. Furthermore, limiting women?s roles in the military violates women?s rights to be full and equal citizens of the United States, with all the privileges, obligations, and duties that carries with it."

"America, one of the wealthiest and most powerful countries in the world, foremost in the fight for freedom, justice and equal rights of all people, still has not achieved equal opportunities for certain groups of people on our own home land. Workplace discrimination has prevented certain groups of people from attaining jobs, which they were otherwise qualified for, but were denied on the basis of race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion or disability. Age discrimination is one of the least discussed topics of discrimination; however, it still remains a widely practiced phenomenon."

Abstract
This paper explains the disparity in remuneration among the sexes and indicates that women, who are engaged full-time work, receive roughly 80% of men?s hourly remuneration. The author stresses that it has been made legally mandatory in the U.S. to apply uniform remuneration for uniform employment to speed up the progression of bringing in parity. The paper points out that a significant factor in the pay disparity is the fact that women are more often engaged in part-time work, which pays less proportionally than the full-time equivalent.
From the Paper
"The major noticeable effects on the remuneration of females are the choice to bear children. Eighty percent of women attain motherhood at certain stages in their life, and twenty five percent of women are engaged in part-time assignments; therefore an increased percentage of women?s life during the earning years is used outside their work. Women, who are the main nurturers for their offspring, are aware of the duties of being a mother while deciding about nature of jobs, and several women prefer occupations where there is more freedom and remunerations are comparatively less. Taking into account those alternatives, weighing the relative salaries of men and women is a misapplication of figures and a vilely deceptive assessment."

Abstract
An examination of individual liberty in John Stuart Mill's controversial essay, "On Liberty". In investigating this topic, the author looks at Mill's argument, the context of individual liberty in human history, the retention of elements in John Stuart Mill's philosophy and their practicability and democratic tyranny against individual liberty.
From the Paper
"One of the prime spokesperson of liberalism in the 19th century, John Stuart Mill was a supporter of Utilitarianism in moral principles. He was specifically of the view that every individual in a society should perform his role in such a manner that he progresses maximum happiness for the majority of the people. Despite his belief in collective welfare, Stuart Mill was a strong advocate of individual liberty and rights. However, the simultaneous elements of individual liberty as well as the social well being in Stuart Mill?s philosophy are considered controversial by most. Apart from this, he also promoted rights and liberty for women.
On Liberty was the most controversial essay of John Stuart Mill?s works, stimulating much vehement manifestation of consent and censure. The composition was incited by the conversation between Mill and Harriet Taylor, his wife, in their letters on the subject that they lived in a society that was moving towards dearth of intrepid and gallant individuals."

Equality, 2007.
A look at the definition of equality in terms of social justice.
986 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the concept of equality is central to Western society and reflects the secularization of the Christian notion of equality before God. It looks at how early social theorists such as Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and John Locke, acknowledged the inequality of natural gifts and how they believed in the equality of individuals within the institutions of civil and political society. It discusses how the three distinct meanings of equality that inform most debates over social justice and provide many of the dividing lines of Western political life are equality before the law, equality of opportunity and equality of results or condition.
From the Paper
"Economic stratification by a combination of class, race, gender, region, religion, and ethnicity is still a central feature of the majority of societies and a strong determinant of life outcomes (Calhoun 2002). Although all societies accept some inequality, "they differ in the type and degree that are considered appropriate," and differ in the "degree to which they accept inheritance as the basis for inequality," thus inherited inequality has been discouraged in modern societies "in favor of an emphasis on merit-based rewards" (Calhoun 2002).
Much research has been conducted concerning the mechanisms that produce patterns of wealth and poverty over time, "especially those that inhibit social mobility in spite of social policies designed to create access to wealth," especially public education (Calhoun 2002). "

Abstract
This paper studies John Stuart Mill?s concept of liberty which is stated in his book "On Liberty". This paper endeavours to define exactly what Mills? notion of liberty is and how it should be regulated.The main discrepancies of his theory are highlighted so as to demonstrate the apparent contradiction between his ideology and the examples he chooses to showcase his theory in its application. This paper concludes that his approach seems to be liberal but ends up with a distinctly ?non-liberal? feel.
From the Paper
"Mill defines liberty (civil or social) as ?the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual.? (Chapter I - Introductory; 1) The obvious wielder of this power Mill identified to be the government. However the government can be controlled or checked in turn since they are still held accountable to the people. Mill recognized another wielder of this control over the individual, the ?society? in question that exercises this power over the individual is the majority or those considered to be the majority. However, unlike the government, which is held accountable to the people, the majority does not have those checks. Mill states that in many instances the ruling majority is not always the same people who have this power exercised on them. The majority may even wish to dominate a part of the population. Therefore, there would still need to be a limitation placed on this ruling majority. (Chapter I - Introductory; 4)"

Abstract
This paper explores the normally male dominated field of sports and athletics and the lack of equality between the sexes in this area. The writer of this paper contends that in most instances, equality of opportunity between the genders is mandated by U.S. law. This paper examines the Equal Employment Opportunity Act which is the major legislation mandating equality in employment as well as Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments that mandates a move toward equality in college sports. This paper focuses on the career of jockey Julie Krone who was inducted into the Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame in 2000. The writer discusses Krone's battle with prejudice in a male-dominated field, that had at one time gotten her so depressed she had contemplated suicide. This paper details the various laws and achievements of exceptional women have struggled to bring about true equality in the field of sports. This paper also contains the text of two published articles regarding women and sports, that were used in researching this paper.

Sports Equality at the College Level
Equality in Sports Professions

From the Paper
"Krone made it in a man's sport and profession; it would be logical that other women would have followed in her footsteps. If one were to gauge the possibilities on the basis of a 1985 National Geographic production, The Ballad of the Irish Horse, one might think of equine sports and professions as the perfect place for women to break into a man's world. The father of a junior rider who competes in pony races, with betting and purses and all, said he didn't particularly like his teenaged daughter exposed to the dangers, but she loved it so much and was so good at it, he didn't have the heart to stop her. In the same production, there is also a women veterinarian at the Irish National Stud, breeder of many of the world's great race horses, and a segment on Lady Anne Hemphill, founder of Pony Club in Ireland, an organization to which many equine professionals once belonged."

"On Liberty", 2006.
A paper discussing limitations of liberty in John Stewart Mill's "On Liberty."

Abstract
This paper discussed Mill's treatise "On Liberty," and defines Mill's concept of liberty. According to the paper, Mill advocates complete freedom and non-interference of government in most cases. The paper explains that Mill only advocates limiting freedoms where actions of one individual can harm another individual.
From the Paper
"In his foundational treatise on the notion of liberty, John Stuart Mill opened a Pandora's Box for debate about the nature and limitations of liberty. His defense of the fundamental democratic ideal forces scholars into two camps: the first heralds the writer as the true defender of freedom and civil liberty, the others arguing that his service was as no great defender, but instead as the consistent utilitarian. Steadily the political son of Tocqueville, Mill's 1859 disquisition was immediately noted for its justification of the freedom of the individual in the face of a state imposition of control, from its inception a classic libertarian premise. However, Mill's idea of liberty was not boundless; while the first danger to liberty, he argued, is the threat of state control, its second danger is that to which most democracies are known, the 'tyranny of the majority.'"
