Abstract
This paper relates that, through an analysis of Henrik Ibsen's plays, "A Doll's House", "Ghosts", and "Hedda Gabler", one can realize the under current of misogyny that Ibsen provides in his own patriarchal Victorian milieu, which devalues the role of women under the various aggressions of men brought forth. The paper explains that, for Ibsen, women provided a servant function within patriarchal society that did not necessarily provide a "feminist" perspective, but revealed that men should be tolerant and respect women. The paper concludes that, as a result, the dark under current of misogynist values provided by Ibsen in his plays informs the reader of the struggle of women in Victorian society, but does not effectively redefine a feminist ideology for women to liberate themselves from patriarchal aggression.
From the Paper
"Hedda's behaviors and actions often appear crude and uninformed as to the nature of husband to use her as a servant for his career. Ibsen often has Hedda appear as naive of the fact that her husband is merely trying to us her as a kind of "trophy wife" to accent his real desire to achieve success in his artistic ambitions. In this manner, she wholly a woman that is able to be traditional, but becomes so enamored of her love that she takes independent action to get his attention. The circumstances under which Hedda burns Lovborg's manuscript are, of course, entirely different and infinitely more dramatic"

Misogyny in Religion: A Matter of Interpretation, 2007.
A look at the argument that misogyny has nothing to do with religion, only with the religious patriarchy who want full control over women and reproduction.

Abstract
This paper argues that the traditions and rules established by the world's major religions which relegate women to the sidelines and even promote subjugation and oppression use their sacred texts to justify their actions. It contends that there is no evidence within these texts that misogynistic attitudes were originally promoted by the authors or author groups and that the ruling patriarchies have simply used these texts by "interpreting" them to suit their desires for power.
From the Paper
"The Genesis story is most often cited as proof that women are sinful in nature and in partnership with the devil. Since this story has parallels in most of the major cultures of the world and in all the major religions, this interpretation has proliferated. "The myth was used by early churchmen as a vehicle for expressing their horror and disgust at women's bodies: 'What is the difference whether it is in a wife or in a mother, it is still Eve the temptress that we must beware of in any other woman," wrote St Augustine in the late fourth century." Over time women became characterized by the major religions as sinful, lustful, and were even accused and executed as witches. "

From the Paper
"This paper is an examination of misogyny in North American society and its effects on women, including the role that religion has played both in supporting misogynistic tendencies and in helping society to reject the hatred of women. Misogyny has roots in a variety of social forces and is especially prevalent in male-dominated cultures. It is rooted in distrust and fear of the unknown; women are seen as "the other," necessary for procreation and the satisfaction of sexual drives, but different enough to be feared. While the problem is primarily a male fear (no equivalent concept has evolved for the hatred of men, except perhaps for the term "male bashing"), women are sometimes subject to hatred of other members of their own sex. Religion, especially various forms of Christianity, has attempted to battle the kinds of fundamental human fears and hatred of ..."

Misogyny in ?Hamlet?, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines how, within nearly all of the historical and current critical scholarship of Shakespeare?s "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark", there is some emphasis on the misogynistic tendencies of the male characters, and specifically of Hamlet himself. It looks at how Prince Hamlet holds a special kind of prejudice against women and how he is given to the misogyny of a young man who has been mortally betrayed by his mother and, to some degree, his whole society. It attempts to show how his desperation and his anger toward the whole societal standard of gaining through marriage is evident throughout the work, and how title, power, and wealth are gained and exchanged through a system of intrigue that is determined through marriage, lust, and even murder.
From the Paper
"It goes without saying that Hamlet feels inextricably connected to his treacherous mother. He is painfully aware of his own love for her and his desire to please her and at the same time is convinced, more boldly that she deserves only betrayal and hatred, in kind. He rejects her sexual advances through clenched teeth, angry with himself for wishing for the comfort of her body/approval/alliance, and burned by her chameleon nature. As he is aware that if he does not ally with her she will offer herself to the next person available to shield her from her crimes. He foretells his own death, as he contends with his connection to the treachery of his mother towards his father."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the proposition that North American society is deeply misogynist. The plan of the research will be to set forth, with reference to a modern culture informed by Christian tradition, the effects of misogyny on women relative to their self-identity, their bodies, their relations with other women, and how sexuality itself is understood and affected by it, and then to discuss whether and to what extent misogyny may be internalized and practiced by women in the modern culture.
In recent years, there appears to have been an increase of interest in, discourse about, and indeed confusion over the status and changeability of social roles of both men and women in all cultures. Research into socially determined sex roles of men and women has been a part of this increase. By and large ..."

From the Paper
" Misogyny can wear many different faces. Its most obvious face is that of the man or society ? or even other woman ? who hates women, who sees them as dangerous and evil, a threat to everything that is civilized, a force that can at best be controlled. There are writers, and writings, that are misogynistic in this way. But there are other, more subtle of forms of misogyny, and one of the most pervasive of these is the practice of viewing women only as they appear in relationship to men, as if they had no substance of their own, as if they could not somehow be seen except as reflections of the men who accompany and define them. Women in this kind of world are not evil (or rather, they are not necessarily evil); they simply have no substance of their own. They are only shadows.
This is the more common form of misogyny in the art and.."

Prime Rates, 2004.
An analysis of the role of prime rates within the worldwide banking systems.
2,491 words (approx. 10.0 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper contends that although prime rates, prime lending rates and prime interest rates are but small tools within the worldwide banking systems they do offer the ultimate objective of capital account convertibility. However, the paper explains that the study of these rates throughout the worldwide banking systems must be undertaken from an historical perspective. The paper states that when this is accomplished one readily observes that these rates, however stated, affect almost every living creature in the world.

The Basics
The History of Interest
Conclusions
From the Paper
"With the ultimate objective of capital account convertibility in mind, prime rates should be to deepen and integrate financial markets, raise access to global savings, discipline domestic policies and policy makers, and furthermore allow greater freedom for individual decision-making. The theoretical framework underlying the use of prime rates is spelled out primarily by nations, banking institutions both global and national, so that monetarists can presume that restraining fiscal deficit and the money supply shall result in several controls, inflation and recession being chief among them. This, of course, is a much more easily stated theory than practical application Worldwide can and does incorporate throughout the various economies of the World. "

Canadian Prime Minister, 2002.
A paper which asks the question: Is the Prime Minister of Canada too powerful?
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
At the outset, it is important to note that although the Prime Minister of Canada has a number of great powers, s/he may be reluctant to use them to the full. Each Prime Minister has their own style: some rely more on the direction of their cabinet, while others may choose to pave Canada's political road without considering the views of colleagues. For this reason, the accurate response to the question of whether or not the Prime Minister is too powerful depends almost solely on the Prime Minister in question. For the purposes of this paper, the avenues of power available to any Prime Minister will be considered.

Abstract
This paper begins by defining important terms from the mortgage industry. It defines the elements that make up predatory lending practices. The paper details the difference between prime loans and sub-prime and how a potential borrower would fall into either category. The paper briefly defines the term foreclosure for context purposes and briefly discusses the aftermath of foreclosure as an aspect of economic impact. The paper offers data from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, also referred to as "HMDA" and statistics to prove the correlation between predatory lending and the rate of foreclosure. The paper explores how predatory lending has, as a result of the rise in the rate of foreclosure, affected communities across the country. This influence can be seen in community growth and re-urbanization of these particular neighborhoods. Finally, this paper discusses what is being done at local community levels but also focuses on how state and federal governments are looking to improve the home-buying process to combat the practice of predatory lending. It also discusses how mortgage companies, such as Countrywide Home Loans, are attempting to not only battle predatory lending but also make the dream of home ownership a reality to the under-served populations of the United States during the life of the loan.

Public Response to Economic Impact
Conclusion
From the Paper
"A variety of loan terms and lending practices have been described as predatory or abusive, especially when employed in high-cost or subprime loans. Some of these practices, particularly loan terms such as prepayment penalties are used in the subprime market and this does not seem to scare the borrower away. The use of such terms and practices is highly inappropriate. For example, debt-to-income ratio above 40-45 percent is considered normal practice with prime loan but is entirely inappropriate for subprime loans. Fifty percent for housing costs may be okay for a family with high-income but could cause potential disaster for that of a lower income. Predatory lenders look to stretch the debt-to-income ratio to a point where, it is not considered responsible lending (Smith 3)."

Prime Numbers, 2004.
This paper discusses the history and theories relating to prime numbers.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that prime numbers have upset humanity for the last 2,300 years, ever since Euclid proved that there was infinity. The paper presents Euclid's proof. The author points out that, in the 19th century, the Russian, Tchebychef ,made significant contributions to the study of prime numbers by concluding that if the B(x) from Legendre's equation had a limit, then that limit had to be 1. The paper relates that Bernhardt Riemann, in 1859, continued Euler's work on series of numbers and made fundamental new discoveries within the prime numbers domain.
From the Paper
"Let x be a positive real number and let us define ? (x) as the number of primes less or than equal to x. ? (x) is a function and will be studied as such. For small values of x, we can intuit the values for ? (x). Thus, for example, if x is 10, then the primes less then 10 are 2, 3, 5 and 7, so that ? (10) is 4. Similarly, ? (24) = 9. Our concern is for very large values of x."

Canadian Prime Minister's Powers, 2006.

Abstract
This paper addresses the question of whether the Canadian Prime Minister has too much power, and whether the Canadian government should move to a system like that found in the US. The paper offers a brief description of what limits the powers of the Prime Minister and shows that the prime minister is limited very little by formal constraints and ineffectively by informal constraints. It is concluded that the Canadian PM does have too much power and that a US-type system might be favorable. A third way is also suggested but not argued for strenuously.

Abstract
This essay argues that the Canadian system of government and power dispersal allows things to get accomplished quickly and decisively, all the while showing who is accountable. The paper compares the power of the American President to that of the Canadian Prime Minister and attempts to answer the question of whether the Canadian Prime Minister wields too much power. The essay goes about answering this in the negative.
From the Paper
"When one looks to the south, to the United States, one is able to see a nation divided by political disunity, by partisan strife. In that country, many align themselves with a far right movement, concerned with religious issues and money for big business, while others concern themselves with more liberal endeavors. But the biggest problem with the American political system's way of accomplishing things is not so much its overall division, but rather the divisions within the main, centralized government that hinder accomplishment and progress. Canada does not have such a problem with its government."

To Be Suspect
From the Paper
"The content of this book affected my way of thinking in a very positive manner. Before I read the book I had a basic understanding of the concept that Middle Eastern immigrants were being profiled and targeted in America. However, this book brings forth two very important points. The first of course is that targeting an individual because of the ethnic group he or she belongs to is not fair. We know this in theory, however, reading about these very innocent families and the things that they have been force to endure makes it even more important to me that the nation begin healing and removing the fears that cause this type of behavior against innocent people."
