Abstract
This paper discusses Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" and in particular, examines the qualities of Marcus Brutus. It looks at how some qualities can be good or bad, but in Brutus? case his idealism is his flaw. It shows how Brutus is a very true and honest man and how he was always trying to look out for Romans and seek the best for them. Brutus never put his loyalty or nobility to Romans at stake; he always chose the right thing to do according to his morals.
From the Paper
"Since Marcus Brutus assumed everyone was pure and honest like him, he in his idealistic state of being, made three major mistakes during the play. The first mistake was not to swear an oath. He thought an oath was not needed because he believed everyone was honest and would keep a secret. His second mistake was not to let Cicero join the conspiracy. He did not want him in the conspiracy because he thought it would appear that the conspirators were trying to buy the crowds support by having Cicero speak. If Cicero would have been in on the conspiracy he may have swayed the crowd in their favor after Caesar?s death with his excellent speaking skills. Brutus? last and most foolish mistake was not to kill Antony."

Abstract
This is a paper comparing and contrasting the two major speeches of Marcus Brutus and Antony in William Shakespeare?s "Julius Caesar". The author makes several interesting points and discusses how Antony ?s method of toying with the audience?s emotions prevailed over Brutus? attempt to use the audience?s pride and patriotism.
From the Paper
"Great speakers are remembered throughout history for making speeches that touch the audience, or get the audience to believe something that before seemed like nonsense. People like Martin Luther King Junior and Abraham Lincoln changed history, and are remembered to this day for their historic speeches. In William Shakespeare?s play, Julius Caesar, two such speeches were made. In the play, both Marcus Brutus and Antony made speeches that moved the crowd, but they used different techniques to accomplish their goals. Brutus? and Antony ?s speeches differed vastly in their emphasis, content, and writing style."

Abstract
In the story of "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare, Brutus is essential to the plot development of the play. The paper shows that his character is gullible in the way he lets people take advantage of his naivete towards other characters in the play. Brutus is also facing an inevitable death due to the fact that he has a dying patriotism to his country. The paper examines Brutus' conflict between being a friend to Rome and a friend to a Caesar. This conflict made Brutus agonize over the idea of Caesar being murdered. It shows that this conflict led to the tragedy in Brutus? life. Brutus inflicted the wound that may have been the one that killed Caesar and eliminated the one thing that Rome required - Caesar.
From the Paper
"In the play, Brutus has the utmost pride in and love for his country. On p.11 lines79-80, Brutus states ?What means this shouting? I do fear the people choose Caesar for their king.? This is earlier in the story when Brutus first fears Caesar blooming into a king. Brutus acknowledges at this point that he does have some sort of hatred brewing inside of him towards Caesar. On p.11, lines 88-89 he states ? For let the gods so speed me as I love the name of honor more than I fear death.? He would rather die with honor then to wallow in his life with a great dishonor. He must return to the vociferate ways which Brutus had before. If he had loved Caesar he would have made an outcry for help and to at least influence Caesar?s head with rumors of a conspiracy. There is no doubt that he tried his best to make the government not suffer by Caesar?s death. Brutus always will have a dying love for his country."

Abstract
This paper examines William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" and in particular looks at how the characters of Cassius and Brutus change from Act one Scene two and Act two Scene one. It discusses how throughout the whole play there are lots of power struggles and betrayal and how the characters of both Cassius and Brutus both develop greatly. It show how the relationship between them changes in many ways and how Brutus always seems to like to be in control of whatever is going on.
From the Paper
"Cassius is being so obsequious and sycophantic here that he almost seems insincere. This is suggesting that the plebeians of Rome would rather have Brutus as a dictator than Caesar. An actor would emphasise the stinging ?except immortal Caesar?. Brutus gets very agitated by this as he feels if anyone is above him then he is denigrated and base. Brutus does not want to be inferior to Caesar in any way. It goes against all of Brutus?s personality traits to take the submissive role to anyone or to let anyone seem above him. The way Cassius says ?immortal Caesar? presents him in almost a god like position. This is again reiterating the point that Caesar is above Brutus. This represents the manipulative and duplicitous side of Cassius? character."

After the fall of the Niagara Movement, Du Bois joined the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peopled). Members of the NAACP were from various backgrounds. There were African American members, white members, and even Jewish members. Unlike the UNIA, the main focus of Du Bois and the NAACP was to formulate plans on providing legal enforcement for African American Constitutional Rights. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the various theories of George Marcus in the study of anthropology and concludes with various 'experimental' solutions to the problems Marcus addresses in his article "Contemporary Problems of Ethnography in the Modern World System".
From the Paper
"George Marcus's article, "Contemporary Problems of Ethnography in the Modern World System," is a call for anthropologists to take into account change, history, and political economy in their writings.(1986) According to Marcus, "Change and the larger frameworks of local politics have usually been treated in separate theoretical or conceptual discourse with some ethnographic detail added in for illustration." (1986: 166) This partition has resulted in a the world of larger systems seen as externally impinging on and "bounding little worlds, but not integral to them."(166) This paper will explore the methods, and their implications, that Marcus puts forth as a means of integrating historical and political perspectives with the ethnographic."

"As Garvey continued his journey through life, he became well educated for an African American male during his era. We must remember that this was a period of strong blatant racial oppression. Although Garvey's parents were not formally educated, Mr. Garvey (Garvey's father) was diligent book reader. Mr. Garvey was one of a few black men that had built and maintained a private library in his home. Many scholars argue that Garvey developed a love for reading because his father had acquired so many illustrious books in his library. While a child Garvey attended the local elementary school and Anglican grammar school located at St. Ann's Bay."

He was born in St. Ann's Bay in Jamaica in 1887, attending elementary school and then, at 14 years old, receiving private tuition as an apprentice in his godfather's print shop. In 1906, Garvey left for Kingston and became a master printer and foreman. He then went to a banana plantation in Costa Rica, where he observed the horrible conditions under which his fellow blacks worked. He then traveled to the Panama Canal Zone, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Colombia and Venezuela, working and observing the hardships of blacks. He became determined to change their lives for the better. Garvey returned to Jamaica distraught at the situation in Central America and asked the Jamaica's colonial government to help improve the life of West Indian workers. There was no response from anyone in the government (Garvey website)."
