From the Paper
"Keeping one's mind active is important at Corabeth's age, and as a bridge player, she obviously does so. However, that important source of cognitive stimulation may end because members of her bridge club keep dying off with increasing frequency. Corabeth also seems to use her considerable advanced-level cognitive understandings about early childhood development, of which Katie has none, to select music and toys for Drake, and to spend time with him in ways that will stimulate his intelligence, desire for more physical activity, and overall curiosity about and interest in his surroundings, all of which are in currently very short supply as a result of Drake's extremely inadequate parenting up-to-now, about which Erikson and Piaget, with their distinctive theories of childhood development, including their various respective observations on cognitive development in early childhood in particular, would likely generally concur (see for example Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 1999).

"This research examines the life and career of Katie Couric as a woman of prominence who is at the peak of her career. The plan of the research will be to set forth the course of her rise to the pinnacle of her life's work, and then to discuss evidence of her being socialized to succeed, as against evidence of exploitation or compromise of her ambitions. Influences on her life, including role models, will also be discussed.
Although as a cohost of the Today Show Katie Couric has one of the most recognized faces in the United States, her celebrity status was not the result of a protracted and difficult rise to fame.

From the Paper
"When the hardcover edition of Katie Rophie's book The Morning After: Sex Fear, and Feminism was first published in 1993, the author was attacked by feminist writers, university students and some faculty members for her views and lack of scholarship. Rophie's major argument was that the new feminist movement was turning itself into a cult of victimhood, assigning women the role of powerless victims. It was this argument that set off the worldwide protest by feminists and their supporters. The book, written by Rophie when she was a doctoral candidate at Princeton University, was based on her experiences, both personal and educational, and her observations as a Harvard undergraduate and at Princeton."

"The purpose of this research is to examine issues and questions associated with black womanist ethics, especially as put forward by Katie G. Cannon. The plan of the research will be to describe the background for Cannon and the outline of ideas contained in her collection of essays on the subject, to provide a brief synthesis of her ethical approach, emphasizing her major contributions to the field of ethics, and then to provide a personal critique of the strengths and weaknesses of Cannon's arguments. This is all based on two major areas: (1) Cannon's own work, and (2) ideas and criticisms of her ideas.
Cannon's view of black womanist ethics can be traced to Alice Walker's definition of the terms womanism and womanist. Walker's definition of womanism contains four areas of concern: outrageous or willful, grown-up behavior by black feminists or .."

Abstract
This paper gives a brief but succinct summary of the major events of Malcolm's life, as outlined in his autobiography. It then delves into the reasons underlying the racism and inequality of the United States in Malcolm's time. A brief history of slavery and the African-American experience explains the social conditions for African-Americans in the mid-1900s, in America. The paper also examines the reasons for Malcolm's behavior in the social context of the 1940s to the 1960s in the United States. It describes if Malcolm's conditions and treatment are similar to those experienced by other African-Americans, in the United States, during the same time frame. It provides a thorough sociological analysis of Malcolm's behavior, in terms of the social conditions he was exposed to. Further, it describes Malcolm's behavior in terms of the sociological concepts of both deterrence theory and labelling theory. The paper finally describes the presence of social conditions, in current United States society, that mirror those seen in the 1940s and the 1960s in the United States. It compares these social conditions to the social conditions that were seen in Malcolm's "Autobiography of Malcolm X".
From the Paper
"Malcolm X was one on the most controversial leaders in American history. His outspokenness about the plight of the African American people, and his close ties with the black Black Muslim movement made Malcolm X a highly feared black leader. He was known for inflammatory speeches, and his strong belief in the Black Muslim sect. Malcolm X sought out publicity, and was well known for his views on vengeance and retribution for the African American people.
"Malcolm X was born on May 19th, 1925, in Omaha Nebraska. Born Malcolm Little, his father was a Baptist minister, and a strong supporter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, run by Marcus Garvey. This organization encouraged African Americans to run their own businesses, and discouraged dependence on the culture and economy of white America.'"

From the Paper
"Malcolm continued to have a great loyalty to Muhammad, even when Muhammad became too old to actively participate in Nation events. Malcolm then became more and more active in the groups decision making processes. It was at this time that Malcolm and Muhammad noticed that have had some differences in ideology. While they both wished to fight for black rights, Muhammad's goal was to create a completely separate black nation-state that would have a different economy and culture than the rest of the country. Malcolm, however, believed that this would only happen if they took care of the poor black people living in ghettos first. Malcolm wanted the group to become more involved with politics and to change America as a whole, rather than just trying to separate black America from white America. These differing philosophies, as well as Malcolm's growing influence led to Muhammad trying to have Malcolm killed. While this was very difficult for Malcolm, it led to another change in philosophy for him."

Abstract
This paper explains that the interracial sexual relationship between black Malcolm and white Sophie, in Spike Lee's 1992 film "Malcolm X is striking in the context of the civil rights movement, which only recently had begun to make such liaisons relatively safe and acceptable, and the narrative of the film, in which it develops into a criminal partnership. The author points out that Spike Lee positions this relationship as a direct result of Malcolm's ambition and power and Sophie's desire to realize her sexual fantasies. The paper relates Malcolm's ability to roam sexually in the upper class testifies to his personal strength and ability to succeed, an important theme in the film. The author concludes that Malcolm's relationship with Sophie serves as a symbol of the liberation of the civil rights movement.
From the Paper
"With the emergence of the Civil Rights movement, black/white relationships lost at least some of their taboo, and increasingly became public. Both blacks and whites expressed profound distrust of mysogenation. As Michele Wallace, a black woman growing up the time, bluntly put it: "Only the rejects crawl for white pussy." In "Malcolm X", Laura's jealousy and disapproval at Malcolm's relationship with Sophia exemplifies this attitude. Interestingly, both in the historical record and paralleled in the film, the sexuality of black women seems less important than that of black men during this time period."

"Malcolm X"?.
This paper discusses Spike Lee's film, "Malcolm X ," an adaptation of "The Autobiography of Malcolm X".

»

Abstract
This paper explains that Spike Lee's film, "Malcolm X," depicts the way Malcolm X, in prison, forged his identity based on social and religious values, not the values of the dominant white culture, but rather values in opposition to the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture, which, for centuries, had oppressed persons of African descent. The author points out that Malcolm X was a sincere adherent to Islam, which was not the religion of his African ancestors, but the religion of modern Africa. The paper relates that Spike Lee demonstrates how, when Malcolm X embraced Sunni Islam and incorporated its teachings into his approach toward black liberation, his militant views became more tempered; this shift from pure militancy toward cooperation directly led to his assassination.
From the Paper
"As Lee's movie shows, Malcolm's family history and early experiences affected his radical political views. He joined the Nation of Islam while in prison, as he felt a sense of camaraderie and solidarity that he never would have found in the outside world. Lee depicts how Malcolm X was deeply and personally affected by his exposure to the Muslim religion. In fact, one of the most remarkable things about the life of Malcolm X was his ability to grow with his religious beliefs, rather than having his religious beliefs dictate strictly what his actions were. As the film points out, Malcolm X did the necessary pilgrimage to Mecca shortly before he was assassinated."

"Behind every significant figure in world history is a series of events, persons and social institutions that dramatically shaped his or her conscience, convictions and beliefs. Perhaps the most influential factor in the life of a struggling oppressed young person is that of religion. Religion offers hope. It offers reason. It offers redemption. For Black Americans in the middle of the twentieth century the rising Islamic tradition in American known then as Black Muslims gave such hope to a generation of bitterly oppressed ... "

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper considers Malcolm X's 1965 autobiography and maintains that it reveals as much about one man's personality and lifestyle as it does about an entire social and political revolution taking place in the United States. The paper emphasizes that Malcolm X shows how racism and problems associated with racism, such as poverty in African-American communities, are endemic to American society. The paper describes Malcolm's upbringing, and discusses how after experiencing the results of racial bigotry and rising from the ghetto underworld, Malcolm became one of black America's most important social, political and spiritual leaders.
From the Paper
"Malcolm X's early childhood and young adulthood show the origin of his views on race relations in America; his experiences were not all that unique. Malcolm's family was not poor until his father was shot by white supremacists. When his mother was forced to take care of her eight children she descended into despair and depression. Malcolm recalls the effects of his father's death and his mother's subsequent destitution: "something began to happen. Some kind of psychological deterioration hit our family circle and began to eat away our pride. Perhaps it was the constant tangible evidence that we were destitute," (p. 14). Gradually Malcolm and his siblings looked to other families to provide the emotional and financial support that their mother could not provide."

Abstract
This study will discover the implied audiences of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, and seek to understand, in their speeches, whom exactly they were both trying to speak too. This implies an audience with conservative whites who may have been in mind when these great speakers sent out their message. By studying the approach of rhetoric in their speeches, we can quickly see why they depicted different, but similar messages in their speeches. The two speeches from both men are: "Letter from Birmingham Jail" by MLK, and "The Black Revolution." By Malcolm X. IN analyzing these means of communication, we can see the message pf fear that Malcolm X sent out to his audience, and the contrasting message of Love that Martin Luther King brought out to his white audience.
