Abstract
This paper explains that, by schooling low-ability pupils and high-ability pupils together, the low-ability pupils may wrongly come to understand their position in the hierarchy as a reflection of individual worth and most often do even worse academically than before. The author points out that many European schools do not employ tracking and yet their students as a rule perform better than American students. The paper stresses that, if a child runs into problems, only a careful analysis of his own personal case can ever hope to resolve the difficulties rather than imposing a core curriculum that is the same for every child.
From the Paper
"Nor will dividing an individual class into ability groups necessarily alter relative performance. This method, while having the advantage of keeping the students together at least on a social level, still divides them when it comes to learning. If the teaching method used with each group is identical, the division into groups will only benefit that group for whom the teaching method is most suited. A "head start" reading program in pre-school for example, will benefit high-ability students but will likely do nothing for low-ability students who need more attention or cannot keep up with the pace. At the same time, students who flunk out of such a program will then be behind their peers. In other words instead of being on the "fast track," they will be on the road to underachievement. Once a bad apple, always a bad apple."

Abstract
From a Marxist perspective, contemporary multinational corporations are now poised as the dominant institution working in concert with the government. Putting forth the fast food industry as an exemplar of these dominant institutions, this paper examines the ways that corporations contribute to social stratification. The paper details how individualism legitimizes the negative impact of fast food industry, deflecting responsibility from the corporations to the consumer. It also shows how, given structural inequality, however, choice is not equally accessible to everyone.
From the Paper
"Much has been said in recent years about the evils of the fast food industry. The McDonalds' of the world have endured criticism for their advertising techniques, nutritionally suspect products, negative environmental impact, and the list goes on. Without a doubt, public concern is warranted, however, much of the fast food debate has been overly industry specific, overshadowing the larger patterns of corporate irresponsibility in our advanced capitalist society. In theory and in practice, the leaders of the fast food industry epitomize multinational corporations in form and function as the latest incarnation of capitalist power. These organizations and their counterparts in other industries have joined if not surpassed the government as the dominant cultural institution. As such, their primary objective is to accumulate capital, an insatiable pursuit that exacts a hefty cost from society at large."

All Animals are Created Equal, 2001.

Abstract
This paper discusses animal rights causes. The author examines issues of animal equality and speciesism, and refutes arguments made by anti-animal rights groups.
From the Paper
"Getting animals to have basic rights is still a long ways away, but every little bit counts. As the animal rights movement becomes even more mainstream in the next 10 to 20 years, the idea that animals have some sort of rights will be commonplace (future speak 56). Americans have seen this social trend in many different ways. Common ideas today, like recycling and organic foods used to be uncommon, but today there are health food stores around every corner and recycling bins in every cafeteria. Once consumers take hold of the animal rights movement it will move along at a much quicker pace. Companies that believe animal rights activism will increase their sales, will be forced to conform. The most important question to remember about animals though, as Jeremy Bentham pointed out, is not ?can they reason? or can they talk? but, can they suffer?(Ryder 39)"

Equal Rights, Equal Obligations, Equal Opportunities, 2000.
This essay discusses women in the military and the law.
1,425 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 1 source, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

All Men Equal?, 2007.
This paper examines hypocrisy and irony present in the Declaration of Independence.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how leaders like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin are celebrated for their efforts in creating the Declaration of Independence and shaping our ideas about government. The paper reveals, however, that Franklin and Jefferson were both slave holders despite their promotion of democratic ideals. The paper points out seemingly hypocritical statements present in the Declaration and concludes that certain parts of the Declaration could benefit from being clarified and improved.
From the Paper
"A century after the Declaration of Independence, the United States Supreme Court had to interpret the words of the Declaration, in a lawsuit brought by Dred Scott (Burnside, 2005). Scott was a slave who had lived 13 years in a non-slave state. He sued for a declaration that he was a free citizen of the United States. The Court held, by a 7:2 majority, that the words "all men are created equal" did not apply to African Americans. The language of the judgment is a blatant display of the hypocrisy of the Declaration (Bunrside, 2005)."

Abstract
This is a critical essay on Richard Wright's short story, The Man Who Was Almost a Man. This tale is a twisted parody of the hunt, where a boy becomes a man by learning to take responsibility for his actions and doing what is best for himself. This parody shows the protagonist?s desire to become a respected equal among the other adults with whom he feels he has earned the right to belong, through his growing age and hard work in the fields. The paper includes many quotes from the story exploring themes and symbolism.
From the Paper
"Wright subverts a typical hunt genre to create a parody of a boy reaching manhood. In ?The Man Who Was Almost a Man,? the protagonist, Dave, tries to reach his potential as an adult and earn respect from other men. However, his position in society as a downtrodden adolescent, who toils like a workhorse, does not allow him the dignity he deserves. By shooting the mule, he is given a chance to become a man in the only avenue available to him; he runs away on the train to find a new future. ?Ahead the long rails were glinting in the moonlight, stretching away to somewhere, somewhere where he could be a man?? (1128). This newfound freedom and manhood, which comes from his first ironic kill, satisfies the rite of passage in the hunt and brings him the independence and responsibly he deserves. "

Abstract
This paper addresses inequalities in the workplace, specifically as they affect women and persons over age fifty.

From the Paper
"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 discusses the current worldwide economic gap between the rich and poor. The author examines some of the different reasons for this gap including a shrinking middle class, the exit of many production facitilites from the United States to countries with cheap labor. According to this writer, the information age has helped establish a global economy whose members do not all share the same successes, or political stability. The paper also discusses the differences between American and European economic policies and how these policies helped or hindered recovery from the economic downturn that began in the early 1990s. The author also discusses how economic inequality, government policies, or lack of them, international financial investments and policy, deregulation and privitization and abuse of free trade have have all contributed to the growing worldwide gap between the rich and poor.
From the Paper
"In America, during the Great depression of the 1930, President Roosevelt placed on the back of the one-dollar bill, an unfinished pyramid with a glowing eye at the top. The pyramid represented the economic strength and the durability of the American economy. The unfinished section represented the vast potential that could still be attained. It encouraged the American people to work harder and attain more. The bill also has two Latin inscription (Annuit Coeptis) and (Novos Ordo Seclorum). The first tells Americans that God favors their undertakings; the second prophesies a new American order of wealth. (Thurow, 1999) This indicates that no matter how much society as a whole has progressed, the fundamental measures by which man measures himself in terms of wealth and possessions have not changed from the Egyptian society of prehistoric times to the current societies. The need for man to be able to satisfy his daily needs and save some thing for a rainy day will always be a good motivator."

Equal Pay for Equal Work, 2004.
This paper discusses that, regardless of everything that has been achieved by women in the workplace, parity in remuneration between the genders is still to be attained.

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

Concepts within the Declaration of Independence, 2002.
This paper traces some of the historical steps that led to the words in the Declaration of Independence: ?We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, ? .?

Abstract
This paper points out that the idea of democracy in the the Declaration of Independence wasn?t new; ancient Greece had been ruled by a modified form of democracy that gave the right to vote to the upper echelons of male citizens. The paper explains that the ideas upon which the Declaration of Independence began with discoveries in science that revealed that our physical world was governed by predictable rules, by cause and effect. The author believes that John Locke had the most profound effect on the thinking of the men who would eventually shape the Constitution of the United States.
From the Paper
"In reports of the events leading up to the American Revolution, the King of England is often depicted as a dictator who pronounced law as he saw fit based on his absolute power. However, the notion of a monarch with absolute power was not the standard for most of European history. The agreement signed after the Norman victory in 1066 required that the King share some of his power with representatives from the nobility. The idea that kings ruled by divine right was put forth by Jean Bodin in 1576 and embraced by James I of England. Oliver Cromwell embraced the idea and dissolved the Parliament, which although not a true democracy, provided some checks and balances for the ruler."

Abstract
An historical review of "equality". It traces the development of the concept through the works of philosophers and novelists in the 16th-21st centuries. It examines documents such as the Declaration of Independence, works of the philosophers in the Enlightenment and into modern day.
From the paper:
"We have all heard the phrase ?all men are created equal? hundreds and probably even thousands of times in our lives, and precisely because we have heard them all so many times we do not in general attend carefully to what they mean. This paper examines briefly the merits of the statement that all men ? and we shall move beyond the exclusive language of the 18th century to include women also ? are created equally. In doing so, we will consider the phrase both literally and in the spirit that it was originally intended to be taken."

How Society Created a Monster, 2002.
A paper which explores the underlying themes of society and social norms in Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein".

Abstract
The author of this paper surmises that there may be a deliberate intent in the popular portrayal of the Frankenstein tale as a simplistic, entertaining horror story, in order to avoid drawing people's attention to the underlying theme of the book. The author claims in his paper that, rather than Victor Frankenstein, it is actually society that was responsible for transforming this intelligent and compassionate creation into a detested, murdering monster (by abuse and rejection of those individuals who happen to be 'unconventional').
From the Paper
"Mary Shelley's Frankenstein does indeed contain a monster, but its identity is open to debate. Victor Frankenstein's creation, who is generally considered to be the monster, is actually an individual who was born with a natural inclination towards intelligence, kindness and love but, through his abandonment by his 'father' figure, the rejection by those he meets, and the prejudiced and inhuman treatment he receives from society, the creation grows increasingly miserable, isolated, lonely and outcast. If the creation is to be considered a monster, then it was made so by society, both directly through its own actions and indirectly through the socialized actions of Victor Frankenstein. Society, with its unhealthy emphasis on the values of beauty, normality and conformity, and in its discriminatory, prejudiced and uncaring treatment of those who are unwilling, or unable to meet these expectations, is solely responsible for the creation of Frankenstein's 'monster'."

From the Paper
"The stock market saw significant increases during the 1990s, and the New Economy and "dot com" companies also changed the way that workers are compensated for their contributions to organizations. Increased numbers of individuals began participating in the stock market either directly or through their retirement and pension funds, and Internet stocks in particular garnered headlines as "Internet millionaires" were created through stock options given to employees who benefited when companies were taken public. However, many of these individuals did not realize their gains in cash, but rather only on paper, although it changed their overall net worth nonetheless. This research examines the wealth created by the stock market and how that wealth has affected consumer behavior, companies in general, and ..."

Abstract
This paper is a thorough examination of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the affect it had on the black community. It looks at the history of the movement beginning in the 1950s and covers all of the major events such as Brown v. Board of Education, the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, Rosa Parks, and Dr. Martin Luther King. The positive affects of the movement on the black community and their position in American society from the 1970s through 1990s is detailed through the use of charts and graphs.
From the paper:
"The Civil Rights Movement was very successful in creating equal opportunities and civil rights towards the African Americans and minorities of the United States. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a prime example to show how the movement was indeed successful. Clearly this is a sensitive issue among blacks and whites alike. The Civil Rights Movement ultimately had a dramatic effect on the African American Culture of the United States. As a result of this movement, more African American people have become influential in the political and social aspects of the American society. More and more African Americans are beginning to emerge into the middle and even upper class of the United States. Just take a look at the three CEOs of AOL, American Express, and Merrill Lynch. These are all major players in the politics and economy of the United States."
