Abstract
This paper explores the issues behind the 2004 NHL lockout. It is an unbiased essay providing viewpoints from both the owners and the players. It also looks at the effect the lockout will have on fans and the general sporting community.
From the Paper
"The National Hockey League's players are locked out and it seems that the 2004-05 season is in real jeopardy. It is a battle between the players and the owners, and a controversial question is who is responsible for the lockout? The owners, lead by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, are concerned with the rapid increase of player salaries and the subsequent loss of revenue. The players are represented by Bob Goodenow, the executive director of the NHL's Player's Association, and feel that they are not responsible for the current situation. It is the owners that have set their salary expectations. The athletes are willing to compromise on issues such as revenue sharing and initiate a luxury tax model; however, they are refusing to negotiate with the owner's about a salary cap. These conflicting sides have both contributed to the dire state of the game, but the owners and the players must also consider the impact the lockout will have on their fans and the sporting community."

Is the West to Blame?, 2004.
An argumentative paper on whether the Western World is to blame for the events of September 11, 2001.

Abstract
This paper discusses the opinion of the Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien, that the West must accept some responsibility for the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. It bases its arguments on factors such as American wealth, foreign policy, and handling of intelligence before September 11. It also looks at how the attacks were meticulously planned by educated individuals who were able to assimilate themselves into American culture and how the targets were long-standing symbols of American power, global dominance, and economic superiority.
From the Paper
"Before the turn of the twentieth century, American foreign policy held a predominantly isolationist stance; reluctant to get involved in foreign affairs until absolutely necessary or until proved to be in their best interests. Early presidencies cautioned against forming permanent alliances; their thought being that America should look out for their own and distance themselves from problems overseas. The twentieth century, however would bring on new challenges for the oval office. The end of the Cold War and the beginning of rapid globalization made it impossible for Americans to isolate themselves any longer. There would form a national consensus that America, as a conscientious state, should set an example and become a domineering presence in global affairs, particularly in the area of human rights. The world had changed, hence did their foreign policy."

Marketing Research Proposal: NHL Fan Attendance, 2008.
A marketing research proposal aimed at finding ways to increase the National Hockey League's fan attendance.
1,650 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 53.95
»

Abstract
This marketing research proposal focuses on the question of how small- market National Hockey League (NHL) teams can increase fan attendance. Its objectives are to determine NHL fan demographics based on different regions, understand what fans want in their NHL experience, why potential fans are not attending NHL games, and where they are spending their entertainment dollars instead. The proposal concludes that is possible for small market NHL teams to increase their fan attendance with the right mix of marketing (promotions, prices, and product) based on the data collected and how the individual teams will use it.

From the Paper
"How can small market NHL teams increase fan attendance? The research problem should recognize the most specific issue facing an organization and the level of need. Why are small market teams struggling to fill arenas even though the overall interest in the NHL has increased since the lockout? Small market teams face many problems but increasing fan attendance would provide the following benefits: an obvious increase in revenue and return on investment, added value to the franchise, increase the interest in corporate sponsorships and also cause an increase in the external aspects of the team such as team merchandise and television ratings. SMRC will travel and analyze specific data for each of the small market teams in the NHL."

Misplaced Blame: Milton?s Creation of Adam?s Alibi, 2006.
A discussion on the theme of Eve as the victim in John Milton's "Paradise Lost".
725 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is based on John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and focuses on the idea that the first woman, Eve, is to blame for mankind's loss of perfection. A number of arguments are made against this concept, and secondary sources are used to support this argument. It concludes that Adam never actually left Eve, but was, instead, standing right beside her during the very time that Satan was making the fatal offer.
From the Paper
"Milton, of course, does not follow biblical translation in the least (see: heavenly spirits engaging in sex, etc.), and thus Paradise Lost cannot be held accountable or given credit for (depending on the reader and which honor he or she would like to bestow upon Milton) originality in implying Eve's guilt in the Fall. Rather, Milton creates a reason for Adam's absence during Eve's temptation, simply because "Adam's silent collusion at such a crux was incompatible with original righteousness" (McColley 181). The sword is double edged. The one side claims that Eve, though surpassing Adam in grace and beauty, is "weaker in mind and body," "lower in human perfection," and "beneath Adam cognitively" (Madsen 79)."

Blame in "Othello", 2007.
This paper focuses on Desdemona's role in the tragic events that occur in Shakespeare's "Othello."

Abstract
The paper takes a close look at Desdemona's character in Shakespeare's "Othello," showing that she is partially responsible for the tragic events that occur in the play. The author challenges the accepted view that Othello lead to his own downfall. The paper describes Desdemona as a naive victim and cites this naivete as preventing her from standing up to Othello, and leading to the plays tragic outcome.
From the Paper
"Desdemona's naivete is first seen when she defends Othello to her father. She describes her love for Othello saying, "I saw Othello's visage in his mind, / And to his honour and his valiant parts / Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate" (I,iii). This statement is made as part of a romantic speech where Desdemona describes the greatness of Othello. This shows a level of naivete because Desdemona is only able to see the goodness in Othello. A good comparison can be made by comparing the Duke of Venice's view of Othello. He too, shows that he has a lot of respect for Othello and refers to him as valiant. This respect is based on Othello as a soldier and he is considered brave and valiant. However, this respect does not extend to seeing Othello as a good husband. This is why the Duke of Venice is not easily convinced that Othello and Desdemona's relationship is acceptable. This shows that the Duke of Venice does respect Othello but also sees him realistically and does not consider him perfect. In contrast, Desdemona speaks of Othello as if he is perfect. She can only see the goodness in Othello and is not able to see his faults."

The King is to Blame: Hamlet's Royal Mess, 1999.
Why the mess that Hamlet has cleaned up was made by Claudius and is a necessary if lamentable one.

From the Paper
"T.S. Eliot?s argument that Hamlet ?dies fairly well pleased with himself? is quite a bit of an overstatement. Hamlet does not die pleased with himself, rather, he dies having made peace with himself. Additionally, the mess that has been made is not exactly Hamlet?s. If anything, he has cleaned up the mess made by Claudius. The mess made at the end of the play is a necessary if lamentable one. It is easier to clean up the corpses, though, than it is to cleanse a monarchy of total corruption, which Hamlet has done."

The Columbine Massacre, 2007.
This paper explores who and/or what is to blame when young people commit violent acts.

Abstract
The paper discusses the April 20th, 1999 violence, when two young men went on a killing spree at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing twelve classmates and a teacher. The paper questions who and/or what is to blame for this out-of-control situation. The paper points to the influence of parents, the American attitude towards firearms, and the bullying that happens throughout schools in America. The paper relates that in this case, parenting is the most important cause, although the American desire to bear arms and the young people who enjoy humiliating and taunting others are also to blame.
From the Paper
"On April 20th, 1999 two young men went on a killing spree at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing twelve classmates and a teacher. In response to this horrific act, President Clinton hosted a White House conference on youth violence. When young people commit violent acts, such as the Columbine massacre, there are many elements that can be responsible for their actions. We can be sure that these actions don't depend on just one specific reason, but a collection of events that shape the character of the young men or women who get involved in acts of violence such as the Columbine shootings."

Superstar Sports Salaries, 2005.
A discussion on the inflated salaries of NHL players.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 4 sources, $ 35.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper examines the outrageous sums of money commanded by NHL players. To elaborate upon this point, the paper looks at the cost of NHL salaries vis-a-vis ordinary working-class families or skilled professionals. The paper also highlights the cost of a small family attending one game. As soon become evident, hockey players are not paid because of their value to society, but because there are so few of them to go around.
From the Paper
"Over the last three decades, professional sports have become big business - in some cases, multi-billion dollar business. Perhaps nowhere is this development more pronounced than in pro hockey, where salaries have climbed from the level of dentists and doctors to the level of corporate CEOs and Wall Street power-brokers. The following paper will examine hockey salaries and determine whether hockey players - like most entertainers - are entirely deserving of their massive salaries, or whether they are over-paid and over-praised (as many fans and non-fans argue). In any event, what should emerge from the following discussion is that the law of supply-and-demand, more so than any law of social utility, informs the rationale for the massive pay-outs to big-league hockey players."

Racism and Canadian Society, 2008.
This paper discusses the statement "In my opinion, it is too easy for people to blame their failures on things like racism."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer argues that the statement, "In my opinion, it is too easy for people to blame their failures on things like racism", is incorrect and is one that is usually put forward by people who have never experienced racism. The writer maintains that the reality is that many failures are caused by important factors such as racism. This should be acknowledged, and then steps should be taken to address the racism in our society. The writer argues that pretending that racism is just an empty, self-serving excuse obscures the reality of the racism in our society. The writer concludes that when a black person says their failure is a result of racism, they are far more likely to be correct than incorrect.
From the Paper
"As a result of this failure, many consequences flow. For one thing, the little girl is never cast as the heroine, and all the audiences who see the school plays over the years have their racist assumptions that heroines/princesses etc. are always white reinforced. Thus, the systemic racism is bolstered, reinforced and perpetuated to a new generation. The effect on the girl herself is that she is repeatedly sent the message that she is not good enough to be the princess/heroine - no matter what she does. The girl is likely to internalize a very deep level of unworthiness, and a resultant crippling lack of self-esteem. Contrast this with the raised self-esteem that will be fostered in the white girls who were picked for the roles. After that, all of these girls go on to university. Which girls are more likely to do well at university, and then go on to successful, well-paid careers? And taking this even further, which of these girls are likely to raise children who have every possible advantage in life, and who will do well when they grow up?"

Societal Sexism, 2002.
Argues that the way women project their own image is just as much to blame for society's attitude towards them.

Abstract
This paper argues that, even in everyday conversational life, women internalize stereotypes about female achievement. Rather than speak from positions of power, women often use their position as speakers to deflate their own sense of credibility, rather than to enhance it. The paper suggests that women cannot simply ?blame men? for the problems they encounter in society. The problem of inequities between the sexes is a social and cultural, as well as a political concern. Women internalize the stereotypes around them, which they are taught from birth by parents and society, and use these stereotypes against themselves. The paper argues that societal perceptions of female competency must alter. However, women must also, on an individual basis, attempt to make the necessary changes.
From the Paper
"Why do women engage in such self-abasing behavior, even in humorous dialogue? Why are women so apt to internalize poor societal notions of female competency? Although the answer to this question is complex, what is clear is that this phenomenon begins quite early on in women?s lives. In 1990, a study conducted by the American Association of University Women entitled Shortchanging Girls, Shortchanging America became famous because of a book by journalist Peggy Orenstein, called Schoolgirls. (xxiii) Schoolgirls shows how young women, whose academic performance often exceeds their male counterparts well into high school, become affected by societal perceptions of female incompetence."
